On the other side of the imperial city, Lang Wang Residence …
King Lang Wang was like King Yue, and he controlled a few cities in the vicinity, becoming a well-deserved overlord.
"My Lord, the secret altar suddenly received this news today!"
Under the night sky …
Shen Huangqi was dressed in a golden brocade robe, activating a jade scroll as an elder stood in front of him.
After reading the jade scroll, Shen Huangqi was pleasantly surprised: "I did not expect Su Fang to infiltrate Soulless as soon as she entered King Yue's residence. She even found out about Soulless' headquarters, secret passageways, people, and a part of the network!"
The old man hastily said, "Milord, Soulless is a malignant tumor. He has killed many of my King's Manor's experts. His Highness has always wanted to eliminate Soulless. Since Soulless has our people, why don't we take this opportunity to eliminate Soulless and uproot him?"
"This matter needs to be discussed with King Yue!"
Shen Huangqi took the jade scroll and entered the corridor with the elder. They entered the forbidden palace guarded by the Forbidden Army and came to a hall filled with books.
A young voice slowly came from the hall: "Huangqi, it's so late, what are you doing?"
"King Yue, one of our hidden pawns has finally entered Soulless. I just received all the information about Soulless. I am here to ask King Yue if we can make a move on Soulless!"
"This matter is well done, but don't be in a hurry to eliminate Soulless. King Yue has deliberately cultivated a group of assassins, not just to go against This King. This person might have a bigger scheme. Let's wait and see. Tell your men to stay hidden, do not act rashly!"
"I understand!"
"There is something you need to prepare. The Eighth Prince is taking in a concubine, the news came very suddenly. There will be a big banquet in the palace, inviting all the powerful and influential people to attend!"
"I will do it right away!"
Shen Huangqi bowed and left the hall.
Heavenly Fragrance City …
When he returned, he handed over the mission to Mo Niang. This kind of mission was a piece of cake for Soulless. Mo Niang also received news from another side, confirming that the target had been eliminated. It seemed like Soulless was always in control of the information.
After this mission, Mo Niang personally taught Su Fang how to make poison, use poison, and assassinate. Mo Niang demonstrated how to get close to the target and how to make a move.
Sometimes, it was not necessary to use magic weapons to kill people, and there was no need to fight. Using poison was a very common method used by Soulless.
Su Fang would enter the secret passageway almost every night to follow Mo Niang or study desperately. He never slacked off for a single day.
"The six of you, immediately carry out the mission. This old man will tell you what the mission is."
Early in the morning, Mo Niang summoned many of the busy killers. Among them were Zhui Ming and Su Fang. Six of them wore masks and sneaked into the secret passage in the warehouse.
After walking through the secret passage for an hour, they encountered the Pulsatilla Pulsatilla.
Pulsatilla Weng let the six people rest in the secret passage for a while, and then he sent someone to get six sets of military armor. After everyone put on the armor, they found that the helmet was very strange, it almost completely covered the head, except for the chin and eyes, the face could not be seen.
"This time, you will carry out an extremely important mission. This mission will be very difficult."
After the six people put on the armor, they immediately became soldiers. Pulsatilla Pulsatilla also began to give them the mission. "The current eighth prince is holding a banquet to take in a new concubine. He has also invited the three princes, as well as the most powerful people in the Imperial Palace. From the beginning to the end of this banquet, there will be dangers everywhere. Who knows if someone will try to assassinate the princes. Your mission is to hide your identities as assassins. As the princes' imperial guards, you will protect them at all times. Remember, from now on, your lives are not your own, but the princes'. If someone tries to assassinate the princes, you will use your bodies to protect the princes. The princes are not allowed to be harmed in the slightest. Otherwise, the six of you and your families will all be punished."
"Yue Wang's Inner Guards."
Suddenly, while Su Fang was tidying up the armor, he saw four familiar words embroidered in golden thread on the inner silk layer of the armor. 'Imperial Guard of Yue'.
"So King Yue's Inner Guards are the closest people to King Yue. Even his guests are not Inner Guards."
Su Fang did not expect to become one of King Yue's Inner Guards. It was this Inner Guard who silenced him, causing his father to lose his life.
The Pulsatilla Weng shouted, "If anyone wants to harm the King of Yue, you must immediately rush to protect him. Remember this, this is the reason you're alive. You don't need to have a high cultivation base, just your courage."
"Yes." The six of them bowed.
Pulsatilla Weng led the six people into another secret passage.
About two hours later, they exited the secret passage. It turned out that they were already in Eight Treasures City, Yue Wang Manor.
Furthermore, it wasn't the Outer Residence or the Inner Residence, but the Forbidden Palace.
"Lord Pang!"
Come to one? Still being punished? Trouble? Confiscation order? What? What? Screen milk? Abusing Di Feitan? Poke? Jiang Bi Zheng? Embracing Lu and Shovel? What? Delicious delicacies in the mouth.
The six of them stood guard at the side. After a while, Pound and Han Xin left with the six of them. Still being punished? Ambition? Huh? Slug? Cockroach? Squeak.
Su Fang's appearance in the Forbidden Palace was no small matter. Within the span of ten breaths, patrol squads appeared from different directions. Other than these squads, there were also experts hiding on the roofs and in the bushes, waiting for orders at all times.
They arrived at the palace. This should be a very important place in King Yue's Manor. After being notified, Pound led the six people into the palace.
An ordinary middle-aged man with a medium build and a golden belt was sitting at the front of the hall. Beside him were two experts who did not have any aura.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Su Fang sized him up. This person was born with the aura of an emperor. Every strand of his hair contained a slight amount of Spiritual Qi.
King Yue.
Without a doubt, this person was an important person in the current Zhao Country.
"Your Highness."
Pound first signaled for the six people to stop and wait. He took a few steps forward. "These are the assassins selected by Soulless to protect Your Highness during the Prince's Banquet. Their overall strength is not amazing, but they will protect Your Highness with their lives in times of crisis."
The high and mighty King Yue said, "It's good that they are not strong. This way, the evil people who want to kill This King will be exposed. Pound, Soulless, you still have to train them in secret. Last time, didn't you represent This King to go to Tianmen Province? Did you see the Feather Emperor?"
"Feather Emperor."
Among the six people, Su Fang, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He actually heard about the Feather Emperor and Tianmen Province again.
Why would a King of a generation care so much about a big lord that was far away from Zhao Country?
In this hall, everyone was King Yue's confidant. Naturally, there was nothing to hide. Su Fang's group of six were Soulless assassins, which was equivalent to death soldiers. Death soldiers were people who could die at any time and could not speak again.
However, Pound still saw the change in King Yue's eyes. He waved to the six people. "Wait outside the hall first."
Outside the hall, Su Fang hurriedly activated the power of his perfect physical body. This was an ability that even a Transcendent realm cultivator could not have.
A Transcendent realm cultivator's magic power and strength surpassed the Dharma Insight realm. Su Fang was an ancient body refiner. After going against the heavens and changing his fate, he had a special physical body ability. This was an ability that even a Transcendent realm cultivator could not have. Therefore, he could hear any sound in the hall that was close to a hundred meters away.
Pound's voice immediately sounded. "Before I went to Tianmen Province, I followed the experts sent by King Yue and went to Great Jade Mountain first. A few days before the Tianmen Province banquet began, someone from Heavenly Jade Mountain came. Moreover, it was the new Lord of Great Jade Mountain, the Feather Emperor."
King Yue said, "This King had secretly contacted the previous Feather Emperor. However, this new Feather Emperor is not simple. He was able to kill the powerful Feather Emperor. When you saw him, you could see his strength."
"Unfathomable. Perhaps he has already formed a Gold Core."
"Is that so? If he is a Gold Core expert, then that's great. What does he look like?"
"King Yue, this person is wearing a mask. His voice is also hoarse and low. He is deliberately hiding his identity. I could not see his appearance. However, the Feather Emperor has also accepted King Yue's reward. At the same time, he is willing to gather all the forces to become enemies with the Zhao Country. He also wants to help King Yue overthrow the Zhao Country and unify the dynasty."
"The Feather Emperor is not trustworthy. However, he publicly rejected the reward that the Zhao Country sent and refused to pay tribute to the Zhao Country. This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Zhao Country."
"When we were in Tianmen Province, the various envoys said that they wanted to deal with the Feather Emperor. However, after this person's public refusal to pay tribute was exposed, I heard that many Great Lords took the initiative to contact the Feather Emperor. I heard that there were also the forces of a few feudal lords."
"Someone dares to stand up against the Zhao Country. Those Great Lords have been oppressed by the Zhao Country for many years. No one wants to pay tribute to the Zhao Country every year. Now that the Feather Emperor has stood up, the other Great Lords will cooperate with him to deal with the Zhao Country. This King wants this effect. He wants to use the Feather Emperor, the Great Lords, and the other feudal lords to help him destroy the Zhao Country and the other powers."
"If the Feather Emperor really cooperates with the other Great Lords to attack the Zhao Country, once the Zhao Country is destroyed, King Yue will not be able to suppress these people and regain control of the Zhao Country."
"The current Emperor is truly a piece of trash. With him around, even if I don't take over the Zhao Country, King Ming, King Lang, and the other feudal lords will pull him down from the throne. Pound, during this banquet in the palace, the Eighth Prince might want to rope in the various powers. This person is also eyeing the Emperor's throne. Go and make your preparations."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
The voices stopped abruptly here. The six of them stood straight outside the hall.
After Pound appeared, he gave them a few more instructions before leaving the six of them outside the hall.
At this time, the others were acting normal, but Su Fang's heart was in turmoil. He never would have thought that the seemingly calm Zhao Country was actually filled with murderous intent. Each of the Kings, feudal lords, and even the Great Lords had their eyes on the Zhao Country.
Even the Princes wanted a piece of this juicy meat.
At this time, he really wanted to kill his way into the hall and kill King Yue to avenge his father. King Yue's Inner Guards were trained by him, so killing them was naturally his idea.
Palace Building
Outside of the Zhao Country's Imperial City, there was only one building that was controlled by the Imperial Clan. It was only ten thousand meters away from the Imperial Palace.
"King Yue, please sit."
The top floor of the five-story building was a large hall. King Yue, Pound, and an old man brought six death warriors here. Someone arranged for King Yue to sit on a large golden chair near the main stage.
"King Lang, King Ming Dao."
After a while, the other two Kings also arrived. This was Su Fang's first time seeing King Lang and King Ming.
King Lang was only in his thirties while King Ming was in his fifties. Among the three Kings, King Lang was the youngest.
"Brother Wang."
The two Kings sat down while the three Kings greeted each other.
At this time, even more powerful people arrived. Su Fang also saw Demon General Yu Tian, who was King Yue's adopted son. This person didn't seem to be familiar with King Yue, so how would others know that he was King Yue's adopted son?
"Welcome to the Eighth Prince and his new concubine."
Everyone stood up, except for the three grand princes.
Surrounded by female servants, a young Prince and a devastatingly beautiful woman gradually appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Lu, Lu Lan."
Su Fang also wanted to see what kind of existence the Eighth Prince was, but when he saw the new concubine, his eyes flashed with disbelief.
