And in the center of the terrifying airwave, there were arrows flying through the airwave like raindrops, making the scene look extremely exaggerated.
…
At the entrance of the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Residence.
Ping Yang, Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu, and Wen Dabao all stared wide-eyed at the dazzling light in the distance. At this moment, they had already guessed what had happened.
"Lord Fang seems to be … surrounded?!" Wen Dabao broke out in a cold sweat. He did not know what had happened in the study, but he knew that it was definitely not something good.
Moreover, the commotion was too huge.
It had been almost 15 minutes since the Eastern Palace was on fire. During this time, there was a huge fire and a huge commotion. It was impossible for the Flame Capital City not to be alarmed.
"From the commotion, he should be surrounded." Nangong Mu nodded. He looked at the light and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Then what do we do now? Should we go and save Lord Fang? "Wen Dabao asked when he saw Nangong Mu nod.
"If he is really discovered, we can't go and save him." Nangong Mu shook his head. The current situation was obviously out of their expectations.
Moreover, the person who was caught was Fang Zhengzhi, and the study was the Crown Prince. How could they save him?
If Ping Yang was caught, and the study was not the Crown Prince's, then it would be a joke. At most, she would be reprimanded by the Emperor.
But now …
How could they save him?
"Don't save him?! Then what should we do? "Wen Dabao could not wrap his head around this.
"Let's go out first!" Ping Yang spoke at this moment. Her clear eyes unexpectedly calmed down at this moment.
She did not seem to be drunk at all.
"Go out?" Wen Dabao was stunned.
"Yes, the commotion is too big. I'm afraid many people are rushing towards the Crown Prince's Residence. We can't wait here any longer. Let's think of a way after we go out. What do you think, Yan Xiu?" Ping Yang nodded. At the same time, she looked at Yan Xiu, waiting for his reply.
"Yes." Yan Xiu nodded too.
Wen Dabao was surprised to see Yan Xiu nod his head. In his mind, Yan Xiu should have stopped him. However, Yan Xiu had no intention of objecting.
Thus, he naturally could not persist any longer.
"Then let's go." Wen Dabao looked around and felt a little guilty. After all, he really didn't want to be caught burning the Crown Prince's study. This kind of thing couldn't be solved with a beating.
Once he was identified as an accomplice, even his father would be implicated. After all, the crime of burning down the Crown Prince's study was too great.
"Alright!" When Nangong Mu saw that no one had any objections, he took the lead and walked towards the courtyard. His expression was cold and indifferent, and he seemed to be extremely cautious.
Ping Yang, Yan Xiu and Wen Dabao quickly caught up.
…
Just as Ping Yang had guessed, the entire Yan Capital was in an uproar. Even though it was already late at night, the huge commotion in the Eastern Palace Crown Prince's residence still woke up those who were sleeping.
Windows were opened one by one, and pairs of eyes looked at the blazing flames in the night sky, as well as the dazzling white light. Every pair of eyes was filled with astonishment.
"The Crown Prince's residence is on fire?!"
"How is this possible? Furthermore, that position seems to be … "
"Oh my god, what is going on?"
Countless discussions were going on in the Yan Capital. No one dared to believe what they were seeing. The Eastern Palace was on fire? And it was in the study? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible.
All of the officials in the court were filled with shock.
"Quick, prepare the officials for me, right now!"
"Yes, Master!"
Almost every official's residence had similar words. Figures ran out from their residences, some on palanquins, some on horses, some on foot, all rushing towards the Eastern Palace.
And in King Duan's residence.
A guard was kneeling in front of King Duan, holding a freshly opened letter in his hand. There were only a few words on it, but the contents …
Even King Duan was taken aback by the sight.
"Third Brother's study was burned down?! And they haven't left yet? What kind of person would have the guts to do that? Are you sure the information is accurate? "King Duan looked at the guard in front of him in shock.
"Yes, the person first burned down the attic, then when the Crown Prince left the study, he turned around and burned the Crown Prince's study." The guard replied quickly.
"This is going to be a good show. Prepare the horses, I want to see Third Brother's expression personally!" King Duan smiled when he heard this.
The Eastern Palace's Crown Prince's study was burned down. Such an opportunity, such an expression, was not something that one would get to see every day.
"Yes!" The guard replied immediately.
…
As countless officials rushed towards the Crown Prince's Residence, the shockwave at the entrance of the Crown Prince's Residence's study finally dissipated, and the arrows stopped as well.
On the ground, a huge pit slowly appeared. It was densely covered, and there were three guests in the pit. They were all half-kneeling on the ground, dressed in luxurious clothing.
But …
Now, their clothes were torn and tattered. Strips of cloth hung from their arms and feet, caused by arrows. Apart from that, their hair was also a little messy, and there were more or less wounds on their bodies. On their hands, feet, and backs, there were black burn marks mixed with blood.
This was an extremely pathetic scene.
Other than their pathetic state, the three guests looked extremely solemn.
Because, not far from them, there was a figure in a tight black suit, standing quietly on the spot with his hands behind his back. Not a speck of dust could be seen on his clothes.
At this moment, there was no more noise. It was like the momentary silence after a storm.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the man in black. No one made a move, and no guards drew their bows. Even an idiot could tell that the three mercenaries had lost. Even in a three against one situation, they still lost. Moreover, they lost completely.
"Why is this happening?!"
"Who is this person? Why is it so strange? "
"Three Rebirth State experts, and one of them is even at the intermediate stage. Even with their combined strength, they were defeated so miserably. Moreover, the other party's clothes were not even damaged?"
No one was willing to believe this result.
How unbelievable was this? In the entire Flame Capital City, there were probably only a handful of people who could do this. But, which one of them was not a person of high status and authority?
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was also completely stunned.
When he gave the order to shoot, he could tell that the three guests were no match for the enemy. However, he never expected the difference in strength to be so great.
The three Rebirth State experts were defeated!
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He stared at the black-robed man in front of him. On the masked man's face, Lin Tianrong could see a bit of skin. From the skin, he could tell that the man wasn't too old.
To be able to fight against three Rebirth State experts at the same time?
And not too old?
The current Emperor was one, but would the Emperor come and burn his own study? No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible. Prince Liqin was another, but he was too old. Furthermore, he would not burn his study.
What about Xing Yuanguo?!
Nope.
Xing Yuanguo was slightly older. Furthermore, with Xing Yuanguo's strength, even if he could fight against three Rebirth State experts at the same time, it would not be so easy.
Most importantly …
The opponent's technique was so strange that it made him sweat profusely!
Could it be Hua Fei?!
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong quickly thought of someone. The current Emperor Hua Fei. With Hua Fei's strength, it would be easy for her to fight against three Rebirth State experts at the same time.
But, what was Hua Fei's reason for going against him? Furthermore, the person in front of him was obviously a man. Was she dressed as a man? The possibility was not high.
Who else?
Divine Constabulary's Chi Hou? Impossible too.
Names flashed past Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's mind. However, he quickly rejected them, until a name appeared in his mind.
"Could it be him?!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong quickly thought of someone. An extremely young and mysterious person. Most importantly, that person was not from the Great Xia Dynasty.
No!
He would not!
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong rejected it again.
He wanted to continue thinking, but at this moment, the man in black in front of him moved. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the three guests step by step.
"Who are you?"
"With your status, why are you causing trouble in the Crown Prince's residence?"
"What are you trying to do?"
When the three mercenaries saw the approaching man in black, they instinctively took a step back. Their faces were extremely solemn.
"What am I doing here? Actually, I don't want to do anything. I just want to see if the Crown Prince slept well. "The man in black smiled and said in a low voice.
"Did you sleep well?" The three guests' faces froze, but they quickly reacted.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Even if we die here, we will not let you come near the Crown Prince!"
"Don't even think about going over, unless we die!"
As the three guests watched the approaching man in black, their expressions changed. They bit their lips, but did not retreat. Instead, they stood in front of the man in black, ready for battle.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
From the start, he had been thinking about how to kill the man in black. However, he had never considered whether the man in black would kill him.
Because this was the Eastern Palace, one of the most heavily guarded residences in Flame Capital City.
It had the best guards, the best bows and arrows, three Rebirth State guests, and a guest in the pinnacle of the Supernatural State.
So, how could there be any danger?
But now …
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong took a step back. He stared intently at the man in black. For the first time, a question popped up in his mind. If the man in black really attacked him, what should he do?
"Protect the Crown Prince!"
"Quick, stop him, don't let him come near!"
The guards behind Crown Prince Lin Tianrong seemed to have come to their senses. One by one, they shouted loudly, and at the same time, blocked the Crown Prince Lin Tianrong behind them.
This made Crown Prince Lin Tianrong furious.
Because the guards were too tight, so tight that he could not see the man in black. All he could see were countless armors moving in front of him.
Moreover, the feeling of being surrounded by a group of people was a little humiliating.
The dignified Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was actually surrounded by a group of guards in his own mansion. If news of this were to spread, he would be utterly humiliated.
However, even so, he did not stop these people. He allowed the guards to surround him and pull him further away.
"Your Highness, leave first. We will stop him with our lives!" One of the guards shouted out his loyalty. He used his arm to block Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's face.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's face darkened.
He wanted nothing more than to send the guard leader flying with a kick, but he didn't. He only remembered the arm, the arm that was temporarily left on the guard leader's body.
Chaos. Chaos.
When the man in black finished his sentence, the situation seemed to have changed. From the initial encirclement, to the current cautious situation.
At this moment, a sharp voice rang out from afar.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Then, a series of voices came from afar. Moreover, it was getting closer and closer.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"…"
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's face darkened again. He subconsciously looked behind him. Very quickly, he saw a group of people. There were officials dressed in court robes, generals dressed in bright armor, and even a group of royal guards dressed in golden armor.
And walking at the front of the group was none other than Emperor Lin Mubai.
His golden dragon robe shone faintly in the dark. Crown Prince Lin Tianrong saw a stern expression on Emperor Lin Mubai's face. A stern expression that made one's heart tremble.
Behind Emperor Lin Mubai, there was another person. A person dressed in a silver-white brocade robe.
King Duan Lin Xinjue.
Unlike Emperor Lin Mubai, King Duan Lin Xinjue's lips curled into a smile. It was a smile that was close to mockery.
"Sixth brother, you came at the right time!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong squinted his eyes. He looked at King Duan behind Emperor Lin Mubai with a cold gaze.
Of course, he knew why King Duan Lin Xinjue was here.
