Just as the eleventh prince took down Chen Tai City, Ying Kuang and the rest of the Qi Practitioners had already arrived in the skies above the Apricot Tai Continent. His main goal was to kill the Second Prince, Hao Ji.
This was Xian Tian Xianguang's request, but it was also his own goal. The Second Imperial Prince was not only the son of the Heavenly Monarch and the Heavenly Mother, but he was also closely related to the Dao of Virtue. As long as he was killed, there would definitely be more variables in the battle for the throne, which would be beneficial to the people below.
However, he also knew that his actions would definitely incur the wrath of the Heavenly Court. They would definitely send divine generals and star lords to suppress him.
However, he had already made up his mind. As long as the Heavenly Talisman was still in his hands, he would kill as many of these people as they came. He would try his best to weaken the strength of the Heavenly Court before the Heavenly Talisman left him, paving the way for his disciple to replace him in the future.
Moreover, this was the time when the princes were vying for the throne. If the arrangements were made properly, it was highly possible that the foundation of the Heavenly Court would be shaken.
At this moment, a Qi Practitioner came from afar. When he got close, he stopped and bowed. He said, "Left Imperial Censor, the palace is heavily guarded. I can only watch from afar. At this moment, there are at least two Perfected Immortals of the Dao of Virtue protecting the Second Prince. Even if his territory is attacked, they will be able to escort him out. “
Ying Kuang pondered for a moment and realized that this was a tricky situation. It was not that he was afraid of the two of them, but he could not kill them in an instant. In that case, he would not be able to stop them from escaping with the Second Prince unless he could lure them away.
Unfortunately, Wan Guang didn't come along this time. Otherwise, he could ask for his help.
He thought to himself, Now I can only continue to wait. As long as these two people are held back by Quan Dao or the people of Forgotten Li Mountain, then there will be a chance.
At the east of Xing Tai Continent, at this moment, smoke and dust covered the sun. On top of the dust, there were more than a hundred thousand soldiers. Hao Chang was standing on top of a dragon chariot, the top of the chariot was covered, and on his left and right were his trusted aides.
This time, he had led his troops to attack from the east of Xing Tai Continent. His first target was one of the six counties, Xiang Lan County. However, he had met with strong resistance and his advance had not been very smooth.
But on the surface, he didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he looked like he was confident of his victory.
At this moment, a servant flew over on a cloud and reported, "Just as Your Highness expected, the Second Prince has indeed summoned his people to defend against them. These people are even more powerful than the demons, and it will be difficult for us to defeat them."
Haochang said with a pleasant countenance, "You have worked hard, you and your clansmen have been working hard for a long time, go and rest first." He also took care of the servants and rewarded them with some good things.
The attendant was extremely grateful and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
After Hao Chang dismissed the man, his gaze became profound. He had come here not only to expel the Second Prince, but also to weaken his forces.
Most of the gods in Xing Tai State were from the same race as Heavenly Mother Turtle. This generation was a huge problem and if he could get rid of some of them, there would be fewer obstacles for him when he ascended the throne.
Moreover, he had another worry. Even if his elder brother failed and was expelled from the fief, it was very likely that the Heavenly Turtle Mother would bring him up again.
This was not impossible, because it was the Celestial Thearch's idea to confer the princes to the lower realm, and the Heavenly Mother had never said a word about it. Moreover, as long as De Dao did not give up on his second brother, there was still a chance for him to rise from the ashes.
The best way was to directly end his elder brother's life.
However, this matter could not be done by him, because if he wanted to inherit the throne, there could not be a single stain on him. It would be best if the stain was on someone else or his eleventh brother, then it would be the best of both worlds.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden rumble in the sky. It was like thunder, but also like the beating of a drum. He could not help but look up and vaguely see a few Daoists standing above, surrounded by countless lightning bolts.
Someone below exclaimed, "It's De Dao Perfected Immortal."
Compared to the obvious fear of the people around him, Haochang was very calm. He turned around and said to the two Daoists beside him, "I'll have to ask the two Daoists to take action."
The two Daoists returned the greeting, and one of them said, "Of course, it should be me." As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped into the sky and fought with the newcomers.
Although the two Daoists tried their best to bring the enemies away, there was still a continuous rain of fire falling from the sky. However, they were all blocked by a layer of light from the formation, and none of them landed on the heads of the Daoists.
Haochang did not seem to be worried about the outcome of the battle. He did not look up anymore and ordered his men to continue attacking the city.
With the soldiers provided by the deities, Second Prince Hao Ji was barely able to deal with the attacks from both sides. However, he could only defend himself, and it was almost impossible for him to counterattack. He was also very worried about this.
The Xiang Lan County that the Third Prince was attacking was mostly swampy, and there were not many people there. It was a place where the deities raised the toad and snake monsters to refine medicine. It was only slightly better than Hou Yuan County, but its location was very important. If they attacked it, it would be equivalent to opening up an entrance to the heart of the Xing Tai Continent. The Third Prince and the Eleventh Prince would then be able to stab him from the left and right, and the situation would be extremely dangerous.
Because of this, he had no choice but to look for his trusted aide, who had given him advice earlier, and said, "Didn't you say that you would send an envoy to persuade his people to attack the two families? Why hasn't there been any movement until now? "
The aide smiled bitterly and said, "I have sent several men, but there has been no news from them. They must have been intercepted on the way, and I have no other choice. Why don't you ask the True Immortals to send them off?"
In reality, it was not difficult to send the message to the outside world. Even if the road here was blocked, the message could be sent to the Heaven Court, and then sent to the Heaven Court. However, the key was to convince the deities, they must first promise them enough benefits, and that would be best if it was someone close to Hao Ji. Furthermore, the letter must be stamped with Hao Ji's Prince's Seal. If either of these two things were missing, it would be difficult to gain their trust.
Hao Ji was extremely frustrated, so he waved his hand and dismissed the aide. He took out a talisman and looked at it. This was given to him by De Dao, and it could be used to escape in times of danger. However, even if he was really expelled from the fief this time, it did not mean that he would lose. He gritted his teeth and said to himself, "It should belong to me, no one can take it away from me!"
Inside the Zi Que Mountain, the atmosphere was heavy.
Zhi Le and the other two sat in the hall with solemn expressions.
Just Now, they had received news that Ying Kuang had appeared in the Xing Tai Continent, and they had no idea when he had gone there.
Zhi Le frowned and said, "What is this person trying to do?"
Ying Kuang had never revealed his true intentions to anyone other than Danguang. He was the Heaven Court's Immortal Official, the Celestial Emperor's personal attendant, so it was impossible for anyone to pry into his secrets. After he betrayed the lower realm, he used the Heavenly Talisman to hide all his thoughts. The three Taishang swore that they would never touch this item again, so the people below him would not know what he was thinking.
The three of them instinctively felt that something was wrong. It would be fine if this person was targeting someone else, but if he was also targeting the Second Prince, then things would not be good. With the Heavenly Talisman in his hands, they might not be able to get away with it.
Once something happened to the Second Prince, they would have to make another choice, and all their plans would have to be restarted. This was not something that could be settled so easily.
Zhi Le said in a deep voice, "We cannot allow Ying Kuang to do as he pleases in the lower realm. We must report this to the Ancestral Masters and confiscate the Heavenly Talisman from him. We will detain him and let the Heaven Court control him."
Zhi Le and Zhi Chang both agreed.
Just as they were discussing, they suddenly heard a clear voice. The three of them were stunned and stood up. They saw a boy holding an imperial edict in the sky, and he said loudly, "Zhi Chang, Zhi Sheng, the Taishang orders the two of you to hurry to the Xing Tai Continent and protect the Second Prince's life."
Zhi Chang and Zhi Sheng bowed and said, "Yes, Ancestral Masters."
The boy's hand shook, and a golden ray of light fell. He said, "Ancestral Masters have said that if you meet Ying Kuang, you can release this item to help the two of you defeat the enemy. “
Zhi Chang quickly reached out to receive it, and he thanked the boy.
When he stood up again, the boy had already left.
Zhi Le said, "Since the Ancestral Masters have given the edict, I invite the two of you to head to the Xing Tai Continent and protect the Second Prince. As long as he is alive, there is still a way to save the situation."
Zhi Sheng's expression was solemn as he said, "We have to prepare for the worst. If Ying Kuang, Quan Dao, and that Forgetting Memory Mountain were to conspire against me, then we might not be able to resist them even if we go all out."
Zhi Chang also said in a deep voice, "If the land is taken away, even if we can protect the Second Prince's life, it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne in the future."
Zhi Le shook his head and said, "We are not at the end of the line yet. Other than the Xing Tai Continent, the Second Prince still has another piece of land. We can go there when the time comes. “
Zhi Chang reacted and said, "Heavenly Mother?"
Zhi Le nodded. Not only did the Second Prince have a piece of land from the Heavenly Monarch, but Heavenly Mother had also secretly given him a piece of land. Although this was unfair to the other princes, he was the son of the Heavenly Monarch and Heavenly Mother. He was born to suppress the other brothers, and no one could say anything about it. Therefore, even if he failed here, he would not lose the right to compete for the throne. At most, he would have to retreat and regroup.
Therefore, protecting his life here was the most important thing, or else, everything would be empty talk.
Zhi Chang and Zhi Sheng were slightly relieved when they heard this. The two of them bid farewell to Zhi Le and left the mountain gate. With a change of heart, they instantly arrived at the Xing Tai Continent.
Hao Chu was overjoyed when he heard that the two of them had arrived. He personally came out to greet them. He bowed and said, "The two Daoist Elders have finally come. Half an hour ago, Xiang Lan County was conquered by my third brother. He can reach the city at any time. Apricot Continent is in danger! I hope the two Taoists can save me! "
Zhi Chang returned the bow and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry." He took out a Talisman and said, "Your Highness can hang this talisman on the palace gate. It should be able to protect the palace."
As if he had found a life-saving straw, Hao Chu hurriedly ordered his servants to carry it out and invited the two Taoists into the hall.
Ying Kuang, who was outside, saw this scene and frowned. At this moment, he suddenly felt the Talisman jump. When he turned around, he saw three Taoists with fluttering robes, walking on light. They were Wan Guang, Yi Guang, and Ding Guang.
Ying Kuang's heart skipped a beat and he went forward to welcome them. "Why are the Taoists here?"
Wan Guang smiled and said, "Zhi Chang and Zhi Sheng are the True Immortals of Zique Mountain. Since they are here to protect the Xing Tai Continent, how can we not come? Later, I and my two fellow disciples will hold them back. If Zuo Yu Zhong wants to do something, just do it. "
