"What's going on?! Why did someone make a move in advance?! Hun Qianduan, how did you arrange your subordinates?! "
Among the crowd, the expression of a smiling wealthy merchant wearing a brocade robe suddenly changed. It became gloomy as he asked a hunchbacked elder beside him in a hoarse voice.
The hunchbacked elder's face trembled. Then, he actually straightened his body and ice-cold words drifted out from his mouth: "Xiao Yue, don't use such a tone to speak to me. I, Hun Qianduan, am not your subordinate..."
The elder's face continuously trembled. Then, the skin on his face actually flowed away like water and turned into a pale face. His eyes were deeply sunken and it was as if there was a will-o '-the-wisp pulsating within them.
"Very well! Your Black Soul Divine Sect is really awesome … You guys have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the plan this time. "The fat body of the wealthy merchant suddenly shrunk. Then, his clothes burst into pieces, revealing a tall and slender figure.
A handsome face that was as cold as ice that would not melt for ten thousand years swept a glance at Hun Qianduan. A sonorous sword cry resounded and Xiao Yue's figure soared into the sky. Surging true energy burst forth and he transformed into a streak of light as he charged toward the execution platform.
Hun Qianduan's expression darkened and he coldly snorted. The tips of his feet touched the ground and his entire body also soared into the sky. His loose black robe spread open and the Soul Refinement true energy surged out.
At the center of the execution platform, Xiao Meng's eyes narrowed. He raised his head and looked at the two surging auras that were swiftly approaching. He slammed the table and angrily shouted. His voice was like rolling thunder as it spread in all directions.
"Evil creature! I didn't take your life yesterday, but you won't be able to escape today! "
Boom!!
The terrifying aura of a seventh grade Battle-Saint suddenly soared into the sky. Xiao Meng turned into a stream of light and charged toward Xiao Yue and Hun Qianduan.
The corners of Ouyang Zongheng's mouth twitched. He fiercely stomped down and his entire body also charged forward. He landed on the execution platform and fiercely slapped his hands together, directly sending the two experts from the sects who were charging toward him flying.
"With me, Ouyang Zongheng, here, who dares to be so impudent?!"
Powerful auras continuously burst forth from the crowd. The Tiger Guards of the Xiao Clan had already charged out and were fighting against the experts from the various sects. Battle cries resounded throughout the entire Gate of Heavenly Mystery. The solemn and dignified Gate of Heavenly Mystery immediately became a bloodstained land.
…
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, amidst the splendor of gold and jade, an elderly figure sat on the Dragon Throne. A white-haired eunuch in a brocade robe stood with his head lowered beside this person.
On his head, he wore a purple and gold crown inlaid with jewels. His eyebrows were even, and he wore a gold headband with two dragons fighting for pearls. Although his face was old, the domineering aura of an emperor was still present.
"Is the matter of the Tianxuan Gate progressing smoothly?" A slightly low voice came from the Emperor's mouth. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Great General Xiao and General Ouyang have already begun the execution. The experts from the sects hiding in the capital have finally lost their patience and are about to make their move." The corners of the white-haired eunuch's mouth curled up as he bowed slightly and spoke in a sharp voice.
"They had no choice but to raid the execution ground. After all, they couldn't afford to lose six Battle-Emperors … Therefore, even though they knew this was a trap set by me, they still had to jump into it … Cough, cough." The emperor gave a faint smile. His eyes were incomparably deep as he lightly coughed.
"Your Majesty is wise. You will definitely wipe out the sects and return peace to the Light Wind Empire." The eunuch softly patted the emperor's back and softly said.
The emperor waved his hand and lightly sighed. "I understand my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until the sects are wiped out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up such a trap … Xiao Fu, you should go and help as well. According to the intelligence, other than those old foxes from the Celestial Arcanum Sect, the other sects should have sent quite a number of experts. I'm afraid that General Xiao won't be able to handle them."
The white-haired eunuch took a step back and slightly bowed. He nodded and said, "As you command."
The emperor watched the eunuch leave. He was the only one left in the vast Imperial Palace. Serene and lonely.
"With Xiao Fu taking action, this time … it should be in the bag. Even if we can't wipe you all out, we should at least severely injure you all … Cough, cough, cough."
...
The battle in the Gate of Heavenly Mystery was extremely intense. The number of experts from the sects hiding in ambush somewhat exceeded the expectations of Xiao Meng and the others. The guards guarding the entrance of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery were also completely wiped out. A dense swarm of experts from the sects charged in.
Xiao Meng alone was incomparably domineering. He single-handedly fought against the sixth grade Battle-Emperor Xiao Yue and the peak of the sixth grade Battle-Emperor Hun Qianduan. He actually suppressed the two of them to the point where they could only passively defend.
Ouyang Zongheng single-handedly held the pass against ten thousand enemies. He domineeringly guarded the execution platform, preventing anyone from approaching. The experts from the sects charged in and the imperial palace's imperial guards also charged in. The two armies were engaged in a chaotic battle.
Experts emerged from both sides and the battle became even more intense. Boiling hot blood sprayed onto the solemn bricks of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
"Vile creatures from the sects, die!"
Just as everyone was slaughtering each other, a sharp and angry shout came from the depths of the Imperial Palace. A white-haired figure stepped out from the air, lightly flicked his horsetail whisk and joined the battlefield.
Xiao Yue's expression changed and he was startled. "Chief eunuch, Lian Fu! Hasn't he always been protecting the emperor? He actually made a move as well! "
Hun Qianduan's expression was also unsightly as he inwardly cursed. The cultivation level of the chief eunuch was not the slightest bit weaker than Xiao Meng. With these two people making a move, even if they had the advantage in numbers of Battle-Emperors, they still did not have the slightest bit of hope.
"It really was a trap set up by Ji Changfeng! We've fallen into a trap! Let's go! "
...
"Smelly boss, there shouldn't be any customers left today. Can I go back earlier?" Ouyang Xiaoyi pouted as she asked Bu Fang, who was curled up on a chair near the entrance.
There were indeed very few customers today. Other than Fatty Jin and the others who came, there were only a few people left. Ji Chengxue and the others did not appear.
"Alright, you can go back first." Bu Fang expressionlessly said. The warm sunlight under the autumn breeze gave him the urge to fall asleep.
When Ouyang Xiaoyi heard what Bu Fang said, her eyes immediately narrowed into crescents. She charmingly replied with a "Mm" and eagerly ran out of Fang Fang's Little Store to take a look at the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
After hearing the discussion of Fatty Jin and the others in the morning, the little girl had been feeling uneasy. After all, her father, Ouyang Zongheng, was in charge of the execution this time. According to what they said, if it was really that dangerous, then wouldn't her father be in danger as well?
The little girl lightly sighed and prepared to leave the alleyway. However, just as she reached the entrance of the alleyway, she felt a terrifying pressure engulfing her.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed. She stopped thinking about anything else and started running back.
However, she had only taken two steps when she noticed a figure landing beside her. Then, she felt herself being grabbed by a strong hand and lifted up.
"Xiao Meng! Stop right there! Or else I'll kill the little princess of the Ouyang family! "
Xiao Yue's entire body was covered in blood and his mouth was filled with the stench of blood. His eyes were like a ferocious wolf as he scanned the alleyway entrance where Xiao Meng and the white-haired eunuch Lian Fu were chasing after him.
Hun Qianduan's chest was deeply caved in and his pale face was completely devoid of blood.
"Retreat into the alleyway. Do you see the store? Go in," Xiao Yue coldly said to Hun Qianduan as he grabbed Ouyang Xiaoyi with one hand.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's adorable face was completely red. Her hands and feet were continuously flailing as she angrily scolded, "Xiao Yue! Hurry up and put me down! "
At that moment, Xiao Yue was in no mood to care about Ouyang Xiaoyi. His eyes were coldly staring at Xiao Meng and Lian Fu's movements as he retreated to the entrance of the store with Hun Qianduan.
"Hmm?" Just as Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, he heard Ouyang Xiaoyi's unique cursing voice. He immediately opened his eyes in confusion and saw Xiao Yue, who was covered in blood, carrying Ouyang Xiaoyi as he rushed into the store with a ghost-like man.
Bu Fang was slightly startled. "What happened?"
Xiao Yue put down Ouyang Xiaoyi and his entire body collapsed onto the ground as he continuously spat out blood. He hurriedly took out an elixir from his bosom and swallowed it to stabilize his injuries.
After he was done, Xiao Yue gave a pale smile to Bu Fang.
"Owner Bu, someone is causing trouble in the store … Are you going to do something about it?"
