It was a night full of horror. Killings broke out in all directions in the imperial city. Blood filled the air along with the rain, dyeing the earth red.

The dark night covers up all sins, and the light of swords and shadows ruthlessly harvests lives one by one.

The blood debt was repaid with blood. The angry Heavenly Demon First Prince no longer concealed his claws and launched a massive counterattack.

Third Prince's Manor was blocked, and no news could be transmitted. Without Third Prince's order, the group was leaderless. In just one night, the forces of Third Prince were severely damaged.

On the streets of the imperial city, the faint music of the piano echoed, mixed with the sound of rain, pattering, turning thousands of times.

"Help!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry for help broke the silence of the night. From all sides of the imperial city, Imperial Guards masters looked towards the direction where the screams came from, with horrified expressions on their faces.

"Let's go!"

The leader of Imperial Guards and the second commander of Imperial Guards came back to their senses, flashed past, and rushed forward quickly.

Behind them, a team of Imperial Guards followed and quickly rushed to the front.

Almost at the same time, the same thing happened in other directions in the imperial city. The screams pierced the night. Teams of Imperial Guards heard it and set off immediately.

"Retreat!"

Seeing their whereabouts exposed, all parties in the imperial city, including the dead soldiers under First Prince and Ninth Prince, quickly retreated without any hesitation.

At this moment, in the Thirteenth Prince's Manor, the sound of the piano also stopped and returned to calm.

Imperial Guards rushed to the mansions of all parties, and his eyes were filled with residual red, which was piercing to the heart.

"This rain fell so timely."

Inside the Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Ning Chen stood up and walked to the front of the hall. Looking at the heavy rain outside the hall, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Everything is ready, now it's just time for the war to start.

Western Sacred Domain, on the holy mountain, in the sixth palace, No. Six Palace Masters Shaluo sits cross-legged, surrounded by golden light, and is otherworldly.

"Sara"

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded in the Sixth Palace, asking, "You are the best at deducing the secrets of heaven in the Holy Realm. Can you possibly see what will happen next to the Primeval Demonic Realm?"

"War"

Sharo spoke calmly, "The Wu Clan and Heavenly Demon Royal Clan are about to start a war. The war will spread quickly and even affect the entire Primeval Demonic Realm."

"Really?"

In the void, Lord of the Holy Domain sighed, "It's finally coming."

"War is inevitable, and I hope Holy Lord will make a decision soon."

Sarao said calmly.

"I understand."

At the top of the Saint, under the huge Sun God Statue, Lord of the Holy Domain nodded slightly and looked to the east. At this time, Divine Capital Mountain and the Stone Clan should also have received the news.

In the north, in front of the central altar, Twelve Witch Queens gathered together, and their powerful kingly aura caused the situation to change.

"Send troops!"

On the altar, Gou Huang spoke with a solemn expression.

"Yes"

Twelve Witch Queens saluted in unison, then turned and left.

"In troubled times, it is the time for heroes to witness."

Divine Capital Mountain, a tall figure wearing dark red armor stood quietly, looking down at the world, showing extraordinary bravery.

The Lord of Divine Capital Mountain, Yu Luowu, the absolute overlord of contemporary Eastern Continent, brave and good at fighting, was crowned emperor in the capital of the gods.

"Does my father really want to help the Witch Clan start a war?"

From behind, Divine Capital Mountain Holy Son said with a solemn expression.

"Heavenly Demon Royal Clan has ruled the entire Primeval Demonic Realm for too long. Now, it's time for the country to change hands."

Yu Luowu looked into the distance and said calmly, "Get ready. Once the Wu clan sends troops, I, Divine Capital Mountain, will also send troops immediately."

"Yes"

Divine Capital Mountain Holy Son respectfully accepted the order.

At the same time, the Stone Clan and the Stone Emperor looked at the changes in the Primeval Demonic Realm in the distance, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up their minds.

"Prepare to send troops!"

"Yes!"

The order was issued and the army was ready to go. The Stone Emperor felt a little more relaxed. There was only one chance. If the five royal families could not end the rule of the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan this time, they would have no chance in the future.

"Boom!"

In Three Imperial Cities, thunder resounded through the night sky, and the heavy rain became heavier and heavier, as if God had predicted something, and the screams continued.

Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Shi Yu came to the front of the hall holding an umbrella. When they saw the white-haired figure in the hall, their hearts felt inexplicably heavy.

Now His Highness seemed to give her a completely different feeling than usual. That kind of indifference that rejected people from thousands of miles away was deep in her bones and frightening.

In the hall, Ning Chen saw the figures in front and outside, waved his hand and put away the King of Hell on the table, and said calmly, "Shi Yu, it's late at night, go and rest."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shi Yu responded lightly, not daring to disobey, and walked back to the backyard.

In the king's palace, Ning Chen walked to the front of the palace, looking at the autumn rain falling heavier and heavier, his expression getting colder and colder.

After planning for so long, the war is finally about to begin.

Among the Ninth Prince's Manor, Xuan Que, who had also been awake all night, looked outside with a solemn expression. Only by defeating First Prince and Third Prince would he have a chance to take over.

Thirteenth Brother would never be able to inherit the throne unless he was of royal blood, so he trusted him once.

"The Commander-in-Chief."

In the imperial city, in the heavy rain, the four commanders Imperial Guards arrived. They looked at Xuan Mo in front of them and said with a heavy expression, "Bingzheku, Ling Wang's Estate, Heavenly Wind Camp, Shuntian Academy, and Eighth Prince were all attacked by assassins at night, resulting in heavy casualties, especially in Eighth Prince. Almost all the houses were destroyed, and it was difficult to find any survivors."

Xuan Mo Hearing this, his expression changed. How could this happen?

Thunder pierced the dark night and illuminated the entire Three Imperial Cities. The imperial city, which had changed dramatically overnight, looked stained with blood when viewed from above.

The devil plots, Heavenly Demon Imperial City turns into purgatory, people's selfish interests make the devil's scheme even more terrifying.

Under the heavy rain, Plain-clothed Figure stood quietly, his body soaked by the rain. He looked at the Divine Continent outside the endless time and space, and his tired heart became strong again.

"Fan Lingyue, what is your dream?"

"The world is at peace and the people are prosperous."

In the past, when war broke out in Northern Mongolia and horses crossed Great Xia's territory, Fan Lingyue expressed his wish. At first, he thought she was a madman and made sarcastic remarks.

Today, he took the same path as her, ending war with killing and fighting with war.

He didn't know how many people would die in this war, how many people would be displaced and their families would be destroyed, but he had no regrets.

Hopefully, this world will be peaceful and beautiful, and there will be no more wars in the future.

"Boom"

In the sky, thunder breaks through the sky, and the echo rumbles, seeming to be mocking the hypocritical people below, just like he mocked her a hundred years ago.

The long night gradually passed, and the sky lit up. People who woke up from their sleep heard the clanging sound of armor on the street outside before they went out.

"What happened again?"

The people were shocked. Could it be that something big happened last night?

Pushing open the door, on the street outside, groups of soldiers were moving forward. This time, not only Imperial Guards, but also the demon guards in front of the Three Emperors Hall were mobilized.

The leader of Imperial Guards, Xuan Mo, personally led a patrol of the city, looking extremely heavy.

The important places in the imperial city such as Bingzheku, Ling Wang's Estate, Heavenly Wind Camp, Shuntian Academy, and Eighth Prince Mansion are all blocked by Imperial Guards, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Third Prince's Manor, Xuan Qing saw the demon guards in the imperial city, their faces slightly condensed.

Demon guards, what happened last night? Even the demon guards in front of the Three Emperors Hall were transferred to the imperial city.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, in the distance, Prince Ling Wang's Estate, covered in blood, broke through many obstacles and came to the Third Prince's Manor. However, before he could rush in, he was caught up and restrained by the demon guards from behind. Crown Prince's Estate The door opened and Xuan Qing walked out. When he saw Ling Wang's Heir being restrained by the demon guards in front of him, his expression changed.

It's Ling Wang's Heir, how could he become like this?

"Your Highness, something happened to Ling Wang's Estate!"

Ling Wang's Heir struggled hard and said anxiously.

However, outside Crown Prince's Estate, Demonic Qi surged, sealing off all contact with the outside world. Xuan Qing looked at Ling Wang's Heir outside, but could not hear what he was saying.

"Take it away!"

A commander of the demon guards spoke coldly.

"Yes"

The two magic guards set up Ling Wang's Heir and dragged it away from Crown Prince's Estate.

Crown Prince's Estate In addition, Xuan Qing looked more and more serious. Something big must have happened last night. Could it be that Xuanzhen started to take action?

Thirteenth Prince's Manor ago, not long after dawn, Ninth Prince Xuan Que came over with an umbrella and knocked on the door of the house, which was closed to thank guests.

"Shi Qing, go and open the door."

In the hall, the fire rose to dispel the chill brought by the cold rain. Ning Chen cooked hot tea on the fire, concentrating on it as if he was doing something very important.

Shi Qing walked to the front of the house and opened the door. When he saw Ninth Prince outside the door, he bowed respectfully.

"Where is your highness?"

Xuan Que looked at the beautiful maid in front of him and asked.

"Your Highness is waiting in the palace."

Shi Qing said respectfully.

Xuan Que nodded and walked forward.

In the royal palace, the tea was boiling and the fragrance of tea overflowed. Ning Chen poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of the former, and said, "Ninth Imperial Brother, come and drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Xuan Que walked up and sat down, looked at the person in front of him, frowned and said, "It's already this time, but you are still in the mood to drink tea."

"Why aren't you in the mood?"

Ning Chen raised his head and smiled, "It's First Prince and Third Prince who should be in the mood now. What does it have to do with us? The imperial city is now surrounded by Imperial Guards. It's too troublesome to go out. It's better to sit in the mansion and drink tea."

"Are you really not in a hurry?"

Xuan Que said in confusion.

"What's the rush?"

Ning Chen picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "The tea is good, Brother Huang, you can try it."

Xuan Que frowned again, suppressed his impatience, took a sip of tea, and said, "I have no research on tea, Thirteenth Imperial Brother let's get down to business."

Ning Chen smiled, put down the tea cup, and said, "In the current situation, Third Prince is under house arrest, and nearly half of his wings have been cut off. First Prince has also suffered heavy losses after suffering heavy losses in the past few days. More importantly, last night, First Prince originally wanted to fight Third Prince with tit for tat, but because of your contribution, many important places of the royal family were destroyed, and even Eighth Prince, who had been bedridden, died in the war. Do you think Xuanzhen can evade involvement in this matter?"

"I understand."

Xuan Que said in a deep voice, "However, it is too difficult to get rid of the two princes in one fell swoop. Do we need to do anything else?"

"Of course."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "A one-man show would be very boring. I think First Prince would be boring too. Now, the best way is to let Third Prince know what happened in the imperial city, so that the next show will be enjoyable."

Xuan Que was silent. After a long time, he nodded and said, "I know what to do."

Not long after, Xuan Que stood up and left, disappearing into the rain.

"Throw it away."

Ning Chen said.

"Yes"

Shi Yu stepped forward, picked up the teacup used by Ninth Prince, and walked out of the hall.

Ning Chen looked outside the palace with a slightly cold expression. Xuan Que was suspicious and would soon stop trusting him. However, his goal had been achieved and it was time to let go of this chess piece.
