At the entrance of the Royal Capital, a blood-colored light flooded the skies as a chaotic aura enveloped the entire space.
Chu Tianjiao calmly stood atop the city gate, with several experts standing guard behind him.
"Qin Wu." His gaze seemed to penetrate through space as Chu Tianjiao stared at a silhouette on the ground in front of him. That person was clad in armor, and his eyes shone with a bright light. Similarly, his gaze penetrated through the rain of blood, landing on Chu Tianjiao.
From Qin Hao, Chu Tianjiao could clearly sense that he was extremely shrewd and scheming. After enduring for so many years, Qin Hao had always been hiding in the Sky Harmony City, yet he was still able to control the operations of such a huge organization. Such a character was definitely extremely terrifying.
But from Chu Tianjiao, Qin Hao could sense a completely different aura. Chu Tianjiao's aura was extremely sharp.
Chu Tianjiao, who was the Emperor of Chu, radiated an intense sharpness. He wanted to pacify Chu, to prove that he, Chu Tianjiao, was capable of doing so. For this goal, no matter what price he had to pay, he wouldn't hesitate.
However, Chu Tianjiao didn't know that in a pavilion not far away from the Royal Capital, a white-robed figure was staring in the direction of the Royal Capital with a look of disappointment on his face.
This person was none other than the First Prince, Chu Wuwei. Naturally, the current him was no longer the First Prince, and Chu Tianjiao had yet to confer him the title of Emperor.
On both sides of Chu Wuwei, there were two people. One of them was his younger brother, Chu Mang.
The other was ranked third among the ten prodigies, Immortal Drunken Wine. He had always been good friends with Chu Wuwei.
"Do you have any thoughts on this?" Immortal Drunken Wine asked in a low voice.
"Third brother, he's too impatient." Chu Wuwei calmly replied. "This is definitely not a good thing. Such an extreme method is his style, swift and decisive. If he wins, he'll be able to pacify everything. But if he loses, he'll lose everything."
"Why not replace him?" Immortal Drunken Wine calmly spoke, as though he was speaking of an extremely ordinary matter. He had always known that this good friend of his was an outstanding character. As long as he willed it, the struggle for power in Chu would end with his victory. With regards to this, Immortal Drunken Wine had no doubts.
"If I really can't control the situation, I'll consider it." Chu Wuwei calmly replied. "I promised my father that the Chu Clan must not be destroyed."
"Let's go take a look at the situation at the Chu Emperor District. Since they are attacking the city with all their might, there should be people moving there." Chu Wuwei turned and departed the area, with Chu Mang and Immortal Drunken Wine following behind him. They naturally believed that the Chu Emperor District would make a move. But even if they could think of this, how could Chu Tianjiao not think of it?
Then, what about Qin Wentian? How could he not think of it?
The current Qin Wentian was no longer the simple young man of the past.
The Royal Palace of Chu was exceedingly calm. Occasionally, there would be people rushing into the Royal Palace to report the military situation. The battle outside the Royal Palace had attracted the attention of everyone. Undoubtedly, the Royal Palace was the most concerned about this.
Outside the high walls of the palace, the soldiers were standing guard. However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
"Enemy attack."
The voice instantly broke the silence outside the palace. The group of soldiers looked outside and saw a group of masked men in black rushing over. Their speed was terrifyingly fast.
None of them released their Astral Souls. However, when the black-robed cultivators advanced in the air, the countenances of the Yuanfu cultivators all turned ashen. All of them were at the Yuanfu Realm, and they knew that death was the only path left for them.
Puchi sounds rang out, and very quickly, the ground was left with a rain of blood. The group of black-robed men leaped and stepped into the imperial palace. However, at the same time, the people on the watchtower in the imperial palace had already noticed the commotion here. They sent out a black smoke signal, and in an instant, the imperial palace was in chaos. The experts guarding the imperial palace all rushed towards the direction of the smoke signal.
How many years had it been since the Royal Palace of Chu was invaded? But today, it was.
Not only that, the timing was so precise. Today, a battle of life and death was taking place outside the Royal Palace, and there were too many experts there.
"Who dares to be so audacious?" A thunderous voice boomed out. Even if the battle was taking place outside the Royal Palace, there were still sufficient guards within the Royal Palace. Naturally, there was no lack of Yuanfu experts.
But at the same time, a silhouette soared through the air, exuding a fearsome aura. Similarly, this person was also a peak-level Yuanfu expert. This made many people realize that this sneak attack had been planned meticulously.
The Watermoon Pavilion was the residence of the little princess of Chu. Because of the chaos in the Royal Palace, she didn't casually roam around.
However, when the little princess of Chu saw a group of masked men in black rushing over, she knew that the storm in Chu this time around was even more terrifying than what she had imagined.
These people had long since investigated the location of her residence, and they also knew that among the princesses of the Royal Palace, her residence was the closest to the Royal Palace.
"Little Princess, quickly leave." A serving girl stepped forward, as she spoke to the little princess.
"I won't be able to leave." The little princess shook her head. "Third Brother used Mustang to threaten Qin Wentian. Now, there's someone who wants to use the same method to deal with him. I'm sure that the Chu Emperor District and the Royal Palace have no idea what's going on here."
Although she was young, she was extremely intelligent. Today, the battle outside the Royal Palace as well as the Chu Emperor District had mobilized too many experts, causing the Royal Palace to be completely empty. Not only that, the enemy had over fifty experts, and all of them were at the Yuanfu Realm. There were even some at the peak of Yuanfu.
When such a group of experts gathered together and launched an attack, how could the current strength of the Royal Palace defend against them?
Unless they gathered all the remaining forces within the Royal Palace. However, by that time, the enemy would have already left.
The little princess was quickly abducted by the group of masked men. Not only that, when the enemy retreated, not many dared to obstruct them. This caused the hearts of the people within the Royal Palace to be filled with fear. They were currently experiencing an unprecedented defeat.
However, they were also pondering, who was it that had the ability to mobilize such a terrifying force to battle?
If such a force was deployed outside the Royal Palace, it would be sufficient to change the outcome of the battle.
Demonic beasts immediately flew out from the Royal Palace, frenziedly making their way outside the Royal Palace as well as in the direction of the Chu Emperor District.
Not long after, the news of the abduction of the little princess began to spread, and in a very short period of time, it had already spread far and wide.
In the Chu Emperor District, the hearts of the people trembled. The countenances of the crowd on the viewing platform were all ashen. Many experts from the Ye Clan were present as well. Today, they had laid out an inescapable net, preparing to take Qin Wentian's life. But now, the little princess had actually been abducted. How were they supposed to execute Mustang?
At this moment, not far away from the Chu Emperor District, a silhouette slowly walked over. Upon seeing this silhouette, the gazes of the countless people in the Chu Emperor District all froze.
Qin Wentian had finally appeared.
Nobody obstructed Qin Wentian's path. Behind him, there were still a few people following behind him. As he walked towards Mustang and Luo Huan, an apologetic look could be seen in his eyes.
"Teacher, Sister Luo Huan, I've caused you to suffer." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, as though there was no one else present.
"I knew you would come." Luo Huan giggled, as a light smile hung on her face. She didn't know why, but she was filled with confidence towards this Junior Brother of hers, who wasn't considered to be very strong.
Luo Huan glanced at Qiu Mo beside her, as an unmasked look of mockery flashed in her eyes. "Qiu Mo, didn't you say that you wanted to kill Junior Brother Qin? He's right there, go ahead."
Qiu Mo's countenance stiffened, as he stared at Qin Wentian. A malevolent light flickered in his eyes, as though there was a deep hatred between him and Qin Wentian.
"His Majesty has ordered that if Qin Wentian appears, he shall be killed without mercy." Qiu Mo glanced at the people on his left and right, before raising his head to look at the silhouettes in the viewing platform.
However, nobody moved. Those experts only moved closer to Mustang and Luo Huan, as they coldly stared at Qin Wentian. Yet, nobody dared to make a move.
"Is the little Princess in your hands?" An old man's eyes were as sharp as swords, as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"What do you think?" Qin Wentian stared at him, as he calmly replied.
"What do you want?" The old man stared at Qin Wentian as he asked.
"Change the person." Qin Wentian simply replied. However, the old man fell silent.
Chu Tianjiao was currently the Emperor of Chu. His order was to kill Qin Wentian without mercy. If they missed this opportunity, it would be even more difficult to kill Qin Wentian in the future. Hence, today, he personally took charge of this gathering, in order to prevent Qin Wentian from bringing more experts with him.
"I'm unable to agree to your request." The old man faintly stated. He needed to wait for Chu Tianjiao's order.
"I won't wait, and I don't have the time to play with you. Within the time it takes for an incense to burn, if you don't release them, you will bear the consequences." Qin Wentian domineeringly stated. Initially, he didn't want to use such methods. However, this was what Chu Tianjiao had taught him. Since Chu Tianjiao dared to use Mustang and Luo Huan to threaten him, from now onwards, for the sake of annihilating Chu, he would do anything.
The old man fell silent, as he stared at Qin Wentian. "If anything happens to the little Princess, you will have to accompany her to the grave."
"You overestimate yourself too much." Qin Wentian stepped out, his gaze landing on Qiu Mo as he walked towards him.
The black-robed men beside him followed behind Qin Wentian.
Ye Liuyang stared at Qin Wentian, his eyes filled with an extreme coldness. This brat actually dared to enter the tiger's den? Wasn't he too audacious? Wasn't he worried that the Royal Clan would disregard the consequences and kill him?
A lithe and graceful silhouette abruptly appeared not far away from Qin Wentian, like a shadow. However, earlier, nobody had seen her before.
Such a scene caused the pupils of the old man to narrow. He stared at the lithe and graceful silhouette, as though he wanted to see through her.
A clear and cold aura, an aura that pushed people a thousand miles away. She was like an otherworldly maiden. Just by standing there, she gave off an intense sense of danger.
Qin Wentian laughed. Upon sensing Qing 'er's appearance, he actually felt a sense of security in his heart.
Maybe, Qing 'er's strength would truly give him a huge surprise.
He continued walking towards Qiu Mo, and even walked past the old man. However, nobody dared to make a move.
"How do you want to die?" Qin Wentian stared at Qiu Mo. At this moment, Qiu Mo's Astral Soul erupted as he roared in rage, "Why aren't you guys killing him yet?"
Nobody bothered with him. Qin Wentian's footsteps flickered as he grabbed towards Qiu Mo. Qiu Mo's countenance drastically changed. With a howl of rage, a powerful attack blasted towards Qin Wentian.
However, when Qin Wentian's arm landed, Qiu Mo felt an irresistible force boring down on his body.
"Kacha!" Qiu Mo's palms were directly broken. Qin Wentian's hand was still clutching onto his throat as he dragged Qiu Mo to the ground, as though he was dragging a dead dog. At this moment, Qin Wentian's killing intent gushed forth in a frenzy, causing Qiu Mo to feel a sense of terror that originated from the depths of his soul.
"Sister Luo Huan, how do you want him to die?" Qin Wentian laughed as he asked Luo Huan.
