Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Xuan Que came with troops and surrounded the house to search. The atmosphere was tense and breathless.
Yin Ji's expression darkened and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ning Chen's hand.
"Ninth Imperial Brother, please help yourself."
Ning Chen said with a smile on his face.
Xuan Que nodded, waved his right hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately entered the house in groups and began to search seriously.
"Did Thirteenth Imperial Brother leave the house last night?"
Xuan Que looked at the person in front of him and asked.
Ning Chen shook his head and said, "No."
"There was such a big movement last night. Aren't Thirteenth Imperial Brother not curious at all?" Xuan Que sneered and said in an aggressive tone.
"I went to bed early last night and didn't hear any movement. It wasn't until this morning that I knew something happened in the imperial city." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Xuan Que heard this, his eyes turned cold and said, "Thirteenth Imperial Brother slept really peacefully."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I have been worried about the war ahead these days. I finally had a good sleep last night. I didn't expect so many things to happen in the imperial city."
The military depot was burned, and the residences of several royal families and nobles were also affected. In addition, no less than ten secret places of the Demon Royal Family were attacked, causing considerable losses in techniques, immortal jade, etc. It was obvious that these actions were all planned for a long time.
Heavenly Demon Royal Clan has ruled Primeval Demonic Realm for a long time. Similarly, it has made countless enemies and pushed down the wall. As long as the opportunity arises, many dark forces that have been hidden for a long time will never let go of this opportunity to take advantage of it.
All he did was make things bigger, force these dark forces out, and divert all Heavenly Demon Royal Clan's attention.
Just as the two of them were talking tit-for-tat, Crown Prince's Estate, groups of soldiers from all sides came one after another and searched for a long time, but found nothing.
"Your Highness, I have found nothing suspicious." The leading general saluted respectfully.
Xuan Que frowned and said, "Have you searched clearly?"
"Reporting to your highness, we have searched everything that needs to be searched, and there is indeed nothing suspicious." The general said seriously.
Ning Chen smiled faintly and said, "Ninth Imperial Brother If you are worried, you can send someone to continue the search. Anyway, the emperor's brother is fine today. You can just talk with him."
Xuan Que's face darkened and he said, "No need, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Xuan Que did not stay any longer, ordered the withdrawal of troops, and immediately turned around and walked outside Crown Prince's Estate.
Behind Ning Chen, Yin Ji looked at the backs of Ninth Prince and the soldiers leaving, his expression condensed, and asked, "Your Highness, did Ninth Prince discover something?"
Ning Chen chuckled and said, "What evidence did your actions last night leave behind?"
Yin Ji shook his head and said, "No."
"Since there is no evidence left, then there is nothing to worry about. The real ones who should worry are not us, but the real conspirators last night."
Ning Chen looked outside the house and said, "Heavenly Demon Royal Clan's things are not that easy to get. It would be a real pity if you had to snatch them with your life but not use them with your life."
As he spoke, Ning Chen's face became colder and colder. Although he expressed regret in his words, his tone was so cold that it made people tremble all over.
Yin Ji's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Thirteenth Prince in front of him. For some reason, there was always an unspeakable chill in his heart.
The ghost clan loyal to Thirteenth Prince in front of her wanted to fight for a bright future as a dragon for herself. However, to be honest, the longer they got along, the more she felt the terrifying and coldness of His Highness, even more so than Heavenly Demon Clan, who was famous for his ruthlessness.
She didn't know whether the choice of the ghost clan was right or wrong. She even had the illusion that in the future, the ghost clan might be used as a tool for use by the man in front of her and be completely ruined.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yin Ji asked in a calm voice.
Yin Ji came back to his senses, looked at the calm young man in front of him, and immediately restrained his mind, not daring to think any more.
Now that the ghosts have made their choice, there is no way back and they can only believe in their own choices.
"Let your people hide their traces and don't expose them. Remember, Heavenly Demon Royal Clan, don't touch anything." Ning Chen reminded.
"Yes!" Yin Ji responded softly.
"Go make arrangements and come back before sunset." Ning Chen said.
"My subordinates resign."
Yin Ji saluted and left immediately.
Watching Yin Ji leave, Ning Chen turned around and walked towards the backyard.
In the backyard room, a space sealed by God's ban, Gu Shengtian sat quietly to heal his wounds. An ancient sword beside him was gathered in its sheath, with all its sharpness gone.
In the divine forbidden space, Ning Chen stepped forward, looked at Eastern Realm Lord who was healing in front of him, stopped, and stood still waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shengtian slowly opened his eyes and said, "It seems it's my turn to take action."
Ning Chen nodded and said, "Imperial Guards went out to fight, Xuan Mo's commander-in-chief left, Three Imperial Cities's guard strength was greatly reduced, and we have the greatest certainty in taking action at this time."
Gu Shengtian nodded and said calmly, "I understand, I will take action tonight."
"Thank you."
Ning Chen gave a polite salute, turned around and left without disturbing him again.
First Prince's Manor, in the royal palace, Xuanzhen, who had just recovered from his serious injury, was sitting on the throne, his expression still a little pale.
Below, a spy was half-kneeling in the palace and recounted everything that happened in the imperial city in detail.
On the side, in front of the guest seat, Xuanluo listened to the spies' report, with a cold look covering up all the fluctuations in his mood.
On the throne, Xuanzhen frowned, Imperial Guards's expedition has indeed had a considerable impact on the imperial city. These turmoils are probably just the beginning.
In addition, Xuan Que took the opportunity to surround Thirteenth Prince's Manor, which was obviously a public revenge. The relationship between the former alliance has deteriorated so fast, which is embarrassing, and it is not far away from completely breaking up.
Opposite Xuanluo, Fifth Prince listened to the spies' report, pondered for a long time, and said, "Brother Emperor, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The power in Lao Jiu's hands should not be underestimated. Brother Emperor, you can try to win over him."
"It's not necessary."
Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "Xuan Que had shown signs of joining Lao San before. Now Xuan Que's position is not clear. If he hurriedly recruits her, it may cause hidden dangers for myself."
Hearing this, Fifth Prince nodded thoughtfully. It was true. A Ninth Prince whose position was unclear was really untrustworthy.
While the two were talking, a guard walked quickly outside the palace and said respectfully, "His Highness the Crown Prince, Thirteenth Prince is outside asking for a meeting."
On the throne, Xuanzhen heard the words, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, why is he here.
"Please!"
"Yes"
The guard took the order and turned to leave.
Not long after, a Plain-clothed Figure stepped forward outside the royal palace, with a calm and peaceful expression that made it impossible to detect any hostility.
Ning Chen entered the hall, looked at First Prince in the hall, and politely saluted, "I have seen First Imperial Brother."
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother There is no need to be polite."
Xuanzhen spoke in an indifferent tone, "Why do you want to come to my palace today?"
"I heard that First Imperial Brother's injury has improved, so I came to visit." Ning Chen said with a smile. "Excuse me, Thirteenth Imperial Brother, I'm fine with you." Xuanzhen said calmly.
"This will make my brother feel at ease."
Ning Chen's mouth curved slightly, his eyes looked at Xuanluo in the guest seat, and said with a smile, "Xuanluo, long time no see, how are you?"
"Thirteenth Prince still remembers me, I'm really flattered." Xuanluo sneered.
"You're welcome."
Ning Chen chuckled, moved his eyes again, looked at First Prince on the throne, and said, "The imperial city is not at peace these days. First Imperial Brother is best not to leave the house. That's it. I have something to do in the emperor's brother's house, so I won't bother you."
After saying that, Ning Chen saluted the man in the hall again, then turned and left.
Opposite Xuanluo, Fifth Prince looked at Thirteenth Brother's retreating back, frowning and wondering, "What do Thirteenth Brother mean by these words, are they threats?"
On the throne, Xuanzhen nodded and said, "If I guessed correctly, Thirteenth Brother should have been involved in the turmoil that occurred yesterday."
"If that's the case, Lao Jiu's surrounding Thirteenth Prince's Manor is not without purpose. However, looking at the situation, nothing was found." Fifth Prince said coldly.
"All along, we have underestimated Thirteenth Brother."
Xuanzhen said solemnly, "Since Thirteenth Brother took over the royal family, he has been making progress step by step and has become stronger and stronger. Now he has the qualifications to compete with Xuan Qing and me. If you don't witness it with your own eyes, who can believe that a demon born in the human race has reached this stage today."
In the guest seat, Xuanluo sneered, Marquis of Knowing Fate of Great Xia, the depth of his scheming is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Putting aside personal grudges, he did have some appreciation for this son. It was precisely because he understood how terrifying he was that he did not want to take action rashly before he was sure of getting rid of this son in one fell swoop.
He knew very well that Marquis of Knowing Fate would never give him a second chance. Once he missed, a violent counterattack would be waiting for him.
Three Imperial Cities, the dark night has arrived as expected, the sky is still covered with clouds, and all parties in the imperial city are much quieter than usual.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Gu Shengtian walked out of the backyard room and walked towards the front hall step by step.
The black ancient sword has a restrained edge. He is the number one swordsman in the human race. Tonight, the edge reappears.
In the front hall, Ning Chen looked at Eastern Realm Lord approaching and said politely, "Thank you."
"It's your job."
Gu Shengtian responded calmly and continued walking out of the house.
"Beside First Prince, there is a demon wearing dark red armor. If he interferes, just say..." From behind, Ning Chen spoke and warned.
"I remember it."
Gu Shengtian nodded, without stopping, and disappeared into the night after a few steps.
Eastern Realm Lord left, Ning Chen turned to look at the woman behind him, and said calmly, "After an hour, let all your people take action."
"Yes!"
Yin Ji took the order, and his figure blended into the night and disappeared.
In the mansion, Ning Chen stood quietly in the night, looking at the cloudy sky, his expression gradually turning cold.
After waiting for so long, tonight, it's time to reap the rewards.
In the imperial city, a Silver-clothed Figure walked out, holding a black ancient sword. Born in this dark world, the heart must be black, and the sword must also be black.
First Prince's Manor, layers of guards were guarding them. Suddenly, the wind passed by, the swords rose, and the guards fell down one by one, silently.
In the royal palace, Xuanzhen, who was thinking about something, felt a chill all over his body and stood up immediately.
In the hall, at some point, a figure in silver appeared, his sword moved, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
