The battle at the rear ended very quickly. It was a one-sided battle, and there was no turning back.
When Ying Jiuguang gave the order to attack, how could he not know that he was actually sending his subordinates to their deaths? How could a marshal with such a large army and plotting a rebellion be so easy to deal with?
The battle ended quickly, and the battlefield was cleared, leaving behind only a bloody mist. The troops quickly regrouped, and more than ten generals retreated to chase after the marshal at full speed.
Teng Fei, who had not looked back from start to finish, knew that the battle was over. He looked at the vast starry sky with a perplexed expression. Finally, he could not help but sigh softly. "Your Highness, don't blame me. I didn't want this to happen either. You guys were too troublesome …"
What he said was not a lie. He had never thought of replacing Ying Jiuguang before, but the eastern army had been tossing and turning. Not only was the morale of the troops unstable, even he himself felt the danger. A fellow marshal had been killed. The fox mourned the death of the hare, and under the circumstances, he had no choice but to do it.
In another part of the starry sky, Cheng Taize also ordered his subordinates, "Tell them to defeat Linghu Dou Zhong's troops. As long as they defeat Linghu Dou Zhong's army, even if Ying Jiuguang escapes, he will be nothing without his troops. He will no longer be a threat to us!"
"Yes!" The generals quickly received the order and passed it down.
Wu Qu, who was flying at high speed, suddenly raised his arm. His entourage, along with him, came to a sudden stop. In front of them, a dense group of troops lined up in the starry sky. There were still more troops rushing over.
Wu Qu knew that this was Ying Jiuguang's main force, and they were also the most powerful force in the eastern army. They were also equipped with the best equipment, and most of the magic breaking bows in the eastern army were in the hands of these people.
With such a large number of troops blocking the way, there was no way they could go around them. If they did not defeat these troops, they would not be able to threaten Ying Jiuguang.
Wu Qu's eyes turned cold as he shouted, "Get ready!"
The generals under him quickly dodged to the left and right. Then, flickering figures appeared out of thin air, covering the sky and covering the earth. Countless people were laying out formations.
More than a thousand red-armored generals surrounded Wuqu in the middle, forming layers of protection and also the command center during wartime.
The general in the command center had a black face and a long beard. His name was Xiong Qi, and he was the Right Commander of Ying Jiuguang's personal army.
Xiong Qi stared at Wu Qu with widened eyes, then suddenly pointed at him and shouted, "Wu Qu, do you dare to fight me to the death?!"
Wu Qu replied coldly, "You are not worthy. Tell the traitor Ying Jiuguang to come out and be beheaded!" His voice reverberated along with his transcendence energy.
"Clang!" Xiong Qi suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it forward.
A huge flag with the word "Ying" embroidered on it was raised behind him.
"Kill! Kill! Kill … "The army under his command immediately shouted in an orderly and rhythmic manner as they advanced. That sound and that imposing manner were simply earth-shattering. Even the most cowardly person would feel their blood boil with excitement.
However, the speed at which they advanced was not fast. On the contrary, it was very slow, and they maintained the stability of their formation.
"Clang!" Wu Qu immediately accepted the challenge. He quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it forward with force.
The banner of the Right Commander of the Imperial Guards was raised, and the other guard banners and battle banners followed suit. This time, they were all elites that were transferred here, and there were no banners for the lower ranks. With such a large number of people fighting together, there was no longer a need for small groups of people to be mobilized.
"Kill! Kill! Kill … "The Imperial Guards also advanced with the same rhythm, shouting and shouting. Their formation was also similar to the other side, and they welcomed the other side without any hesitation.
With the number of people at this level, there was no need to be fancy in a confrontation. It could only be a head-on confrontation …
The rear courtyard of the Prince's Mansion was beautiful, and there were many strange flowers and sceneries. However, in Zuo 'er's eyes, such a beautiful scene was filled with desolation.
Zuo 'er walked up the stairs and entered the main hall of the rear courtyard. She cupped her hands and said to Ying Jiuguang, whose back was facing the outside, "Prince, I have confirmed it. It is the Imperial Guards led by Pojun and Wu Qu personally. They are already confronting our people." Her heart was heavy, and she realized that Prince was right. The Imperial Guards were really here.
Ying Jiuguang, who had already changed into the red crystal armor, turned around. His helmet and armor looked abnormally heavy, and it was called the Heaven Suppressing Earth Armor. It was covered with gorgeous patterns and was specially forged by the Heavenly Court for the Four Heavenly Kings. He had not worn it for many years, but the might and domineering aura of the precious armor was still there. It was just that the cheeks under the helmet had some white hair.
Ying Jiuguang's expression was calm as he said, "Is everything ready?"
Zuo 'er looked at him with a complicated expression. It had been many years since she saw Prince wearing the armor. She nodded and said, "Everything is ready according to Prince's instructions!"
Ying Jiuguang also looked at her and suddenly revealed a smile. He said, "I suddenly remembered the situation when we first met. In the blink of an eye, we have all grown old … Alright, now is not the time to be sentimental. Take this chance and leave with Wuque and the others first."
"Prince …" Zuo 'er suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Prince, take care!"
Ying Jiuguang did not say anything more. His metal boots stepped on the ground and made a clicking sound. He strode out of the hall.
Zuo 'er raised her head and looked back at his majestic back. Her eyes were already filled with tears. How could she not remember the situation when they first met? It was just that outsiders did not know that their situation was actually similar to Hao Defang and Su Yun's situation. There were also some differences. He killed her evil husband, and the two of them came to this day because of a bet. She did not know if this was going to be the last time they parted.
Ying Jiuguang stood on the high stairs outside the hall and looked down.
Outsiders only knew that he had a lot of concubines, but they did not know that these concubines that he had invested a huge amount of resources to cultivate over the years were the strongest and most loyal forces in his palace.
Hundreds of concubines were all wearing the armor. Of course, they were not all the concubines in the palace. Some of them were not strong enough to participate in such a big battle. They were not very useful to him.
Many pairs of bright eyes looked up at him, who was standing on the steps, and their expressions were rather complicated.
Behind these concubines, hundreds of red-armored cultivators stood in great numbers. Tian Yuan was also among them. They were also looking at Heavenly King Ying on the stairs.
Ying Jiuguang glanced at the crowd and strode down the stairs. The crowd automatically split into two sides and turned around to follow behind him.
A group of people walked out of the inner residence. Outside the residence, there were thousands of red-armored cultivators following them …
"What?" Heavenly King Kou, who was sitting in the pavilion, suddenly stood up and shouted, "Order the reinforcements to speed up. Hurry up!"
Hao Defang, who was pacing between the pavilions, slammed her palm on the railing and said angrily, "Ying Jiuguang's situation is urgent. Order the reinforcements to advance at full speed!"
Bang! Lord Guangling, who was in the study, slammed the table and stood up. He said with a sullen face, "The reinforcements don't need to go together. Those who are fast can go first. We must arrive before Ying Jiuguang can't hold on!"
In the imperial harem of the Heavenly Palace, Concubine Li and Concubine Han sat together, whispering in fear.
"We have no other way out. We'll die if we do it, and we won't live if we don't. But at least we can protect our parents at home if we do it. What do you choose?"
"But how do we do it! His Majesty is someone who can ask you why you're not sleeping even if you turn over gently. He's too vigilant. With His Majesty's cultivation, it's really difficult to do it! "
"Concubine Han, His Majesty likes your body the most. Only you can think of a way to try it now. You might have a chance to do it when His Majesty is the most aroused."
"I'm afraid I'm not confident if I do it alone."
"It's not a matter of confidence. We can only try our best. His Majesty, you think of a way. I'll go and discuss with the sisters. If you fail, the sisters can only join forces and fight."
After reaching an agreement, the two hurried out of the residence.
Inside the Starry Hall.
After learning that Pojun and Wuqu's men were already facing Ying Jiuguang's men, Qing Zhu could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "No need to hide anymore. Order the guards to gather and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" When Shangguan Qing took out the Star Bell to contact Qing Zhu, his ears suddenly twitched. He looked at the dazzling bookshelves and sensed the fluctuation of transcendence energy. He also noticed that Qing Zhu's eyes narrowed into slits, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He didn't know who was contacting Qing Zhu.
After sending the order, Shangguan Qing reported, "His Majesty, I've given the order."
Qing Zhu slowly closed his eyes and said, "Someone in the imperial harem wants to cause trouble. Kill everyone from the Ying Family's faction, except for Teng Fei and Cheng Taize's side. Leave no one alive!"
Shangguan Qing glanced at the bookshelves again and asked, "What about the Heavenly Consort?"
Qing Zhu was silent for a while before he opened his eyes and said, "The Heavenly Consort is innocent. To prevent others from using her to harm her, put her under house arrest and send people to guard her!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing immediately left after receiving the order. After leaving the Star Hall, he took out the Star Bell and contacted Sima Wentian, the Left Supervising Envoy.
He didn't say anything else and only sent a message to Sima Wentian: The imperial harem is in chaos, but His Majesty says the Heavenly Consort is innocent!
At this time, Sima Wentian was standing on the peak of a snowy mountain, facing the biting cold wind. Behind him was a row of masked men in black.
Shangguan Qing's sudden message stunned Sima Wentian, who was holding the Star Bell, for a moment. Then, he came to a realization. His Majesty still wanted to protect the Heavenly Consort after such a thing happened to the Ying Family. It was clear how much he doted on the Heavenly Consort. If the Heavenly Consort's parents died in this battle, how could the Heavenly Consort and His Majesty still be together? He wanted Sima Wentian to protect Zhan Ping and his wife!
Sima Wentian quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted the people under the Left Supervising Envoy. He ordered them to protect Zhan Ping and his wife at all costs, even if they had to expose themselves. Otherwise, he would bring his head!
In the Heavenly Palace that looked like it was carved from jade, there was a group of patrolling guards under the palace walls. The charming and alluring Concubine Han was leading two handmaidens.
As usual, the patrolling guards stepped aside and saluted them. Concubine Han tried her best to look calm as she passed by, but something that wasn't so calm happened. The guards suddenly surrounded them and thrust their spears at them. Concubine Han and the others, who couldn't react in time, widened their eyes. The spears that were stabbed into their bodies were bleeding profusely.
A cold light flashed past, and the leader of the guards took off Concubine Han's head.
A few concubines and Concubine Li had just walked out of a courtyard when they were stunned. They saw rows of Spell Breaker Bows pointed at them. Before they could say anything, a series of banging sounds rang out.
