Turin Tuo was indignant!
He was different from Chu Ye, he had never been a grandson.
He had always been the most influential person in the Raging Wave Kingdom, able to call the wind and summon the rain.
When the king became a mere figurehead, his authority was even higher than Zhi Li's. Although Zhi Li was a young emperor, every time they met in private, Zhi Li had to bow to him respectfully.
Especially after Turin Mo married Zhi Li, she said that she had lost her parents since she was young. When she saw Duke Turin Tuo, it was as if her father was still alive.
Moreover, Turin Tuo controlled half of the army in the Raging Wave Kingdom. In terms of authority, he had already surpassed anyone. Even Zhi Li's fate was in his hands. When he decided to be on the fence, Zhi Li wanted to seek death.
For the past few decades, people had been kneeling to him all the time.
Now, he had to kneel to someone else. Moreover, it was Søren, whom he had never taken seriously. He could not do it!
Søren? What was he two to three years ago? A useless second generation. Not only did Turin Tuo not take him seriously, even his daughter Turin Duo looked down on him.
Now, he wanted Turin Tuo to proactively kneel to him? He really could not do it.
Turin Tuo's knees were hard, he could not kneel. His back was stiff, he could not bend.
Most importantly, once Turin Tuo kneeled, he would face Søren's blackmail. Even if he could keep his life, he would lose everything.
Right now, Turin Tuo still had 80,000 soldiers. Once he kneeled in front of Søren and pledged his loyalty, it was unknown if he could return.
"I, I am not going." Turin Tuo said coldly, "I will wait here, in White Cloud City. I want to see if that useless wastrel Chu Ye has the guts to fight me. He only has eighty thousand soldiers in the Northern Army that he can use. The remaining one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers in the Northern Army are all trash. "
After Tu Lingtuo made his decision, Tu Ningchen only bowed and didn't say anything else.
Once Turin Tuo made a decision, no one could change it.
Immediately, the 80,000 soldiers of White Cloud County City began to prepare for the defense of the city. Meanwhile, Count Chu Ye's 230,000 strong army continued to cross Jiangnan.
Under Søren's manipulation, the war between the two giants of the Raging Wave Kingdom was about to break out.
This battle would determine the fate of Duke Turingtuo.
…
Inside the Purple Jade Mountain Hall of the Royal Palace!
After stabbing his heart, the embroidered clothed old man on the bed didn't make any sound. Only his chest heaved up and down as he gasped for breath. He used all his strength to open his eyes and look at Li Chenglian.
Then, the pair of eyes slowly closed, exhaled one last breath, and died completely!
The surrounding assassins all looked at Li Chenglian. Although he was loyal to Zhi Li, he was still a great eunuch of the Raging Wave Kingdom. He should be very familiar with the king.
Li Chenglian looked at the face of the embroidered clothed old man who died on the bed. It indeed looked like the king's silhouette.
However, compared to his impression of the king, he was more than 20 years older. His entire body was skin and bones, and he was completely emaciated.
He immediately went forward and tore the old man's clothes, revealing his chest.
It was impossible to look at his chest directly. It was really just a layer of skin hugging his bony ribs. It could no longer be described as thin, it was completely withered.
For such a person, death was even a form of relief.
Although only a layer of skin was left, Li Chenglian could still clearly see a five-star scar on the right side of his chest.
Li Chenglian was delighted. That's right, this was the king!
This was a wound left by an assassin during a farming ceremony when the king was young. If it wasn't for Jian Ze risking his life to save him, he would have been killed.
"That's right, this is the king," Li Chenglian said in a woman's voice.
At this moment, the imperial guards outside frantically rushed in through the hole in the door.
However, the hole in the door was too small. With two assassins guarding inside, it was basically one man holding the pass against ten thousand people. No matter how many people rushed in, that many would die!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Outside, Gao Yin activated the mechanism of the Purple Jade Palace.
Immediately, all the iron plates behind the windows and doors shrank, and the entire door of the palace opened wide.
After hearing the palace alarm, Gao Yin's scalp almost exploded, and his hair stood on end.
Someone was trying to assassinate the king!
Feng Li was actually so deranged as to assassinate the king? Did he not know that although he could no longer be the king, he could still keep his life? Jung Yeon ascended to the throne as a woman. In order to win people's hearts, she probably wouldn't kill Zhi Li.
However, Zhi Li was crazy enough to assassinate the king. He was completely digging his own grave.
The king was Gao Yin's only master, and protecting the king was Gao Yin's only mission.
Immediately, he abandoned everything else and led the experts of the Shadow Pavilion into the palace on the Griffin, descending on Purple Jade Mountain.
However, it was too late. Li Chenglian had already led the assassins into the Purple Jade Palace. Making a prompt decision, he immediately found the mechanism outside the Purple Jade Palace and activated it.
Then, he rushed into the palace at the first opportunity!
Immediately, he saw that the bony old man on the bed had already closed his eyes, and he was no longer breathing.
"Your Majesty …" Gao Yin roared.
This roar was really the kind of roar that one would make when one's life was about to be cut off.
Hearing this, Li Chenglian was overjoyed!
Then, Gao Yin seemed to have gone mad. Alone, he charged toward Li Chenglian and the others!
"Let's go …" Li Chenglian ordered.
Immediately, more than ten assassins rushed out of the Purple Jade Palace in a frenzy, while Gao Yin chased after them. Then, more than ten experts of the Shadow Pavilion rushed over, following behind Gao Yin to kill Li Chenglian and the other assassins.
"Swoosh!"
After leaving the Purple Jade Palace, Li Chenglian quickly released a crystal signal flare. It was red!
This was to tell Zhi Li that the assassination of the king was a success!
However, at this time, the entire Purple Jade Mountain was surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial guards.
Li Chenglian led more than ten assassins into a dagger formation, constantly breaking out.
"Bam, bam, bam …"
The priceless Elf Continent poison bombs were constantly smashed on the ground, exploding violently, releasing a violent poisonous fog.
Everywhere the poisonous fog passed, the imperial guards were killed!
This kind of Elf Continent poison bomb was specially used to open a path. When they were rushing into the Purple Jade Mountain, they were reluctant to use it. But now, they were smashing it down as if it was free.
This poison bomb was provided by the Princess of Elf Continent, Wan Wan. It was a prohibited item in the Elf Continent and was a strategic item. The crazy Wan Wan had actually provided this to Zhi Li. It was obvious how unhappy she was with Søren.
Even if this kind of poison bomb was leaked to the human kingdoms, it would be extremely rare. Moreover, each poison bomb was extremely expensive.
With this kind of poison bomb, one would definitely be able to escape at a critical moment.
This kind of poison bomb came with a special antidote, and one had to take the antidote before using it. When surrounded, smashing these poison bombs would instantly release a poisonous fog of dozens of square meters. Anyone who touched the poisonous fog would immediately be corroded to death. Those who consumed the antidote would be able to travel through the poisonous fog and escape.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Li Chenglian's team of assassins kept smashing poison bombs, and then more than ten people hid in the poisonous fog, breaking out of the encirclement and escaping.
Countless imperial guards rushed towards the poisonous fog, and then died instantly. Their corpses rotted, and their deaths were horrifying.
"Shoot, shoot …"
Then, countless imperial guards shot arrows at the poisonous fog.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
Countless arrows, denser than a torrential rain, fell crazily.
Li Chenglian and the other assassins either brandished their weapons to block, or released their dragon power to form a protective aura around their bodies.
However, the rain of arrows was too dense, and there were no blind spots at all.
Therefore, the protective aura had to cover the entire body, and this consumed a terrifying amount of dragon power.
And the most terrifying thing was the arrows of the dragon archers! It was unknown how much dragon power it would take to block the arrows of these people.
Gao Yin was not a dragon archer, but his cultivation was astonishingly high. At this time, he shot the arrows in a rage.
"Whoosh …"
The assassin immediately felt the arrow shot by Gao Yin, and immediately swung his weapon to block.
"Bang!" He was very fast, and directly cut the black gold arrow shot by Gao Yin.
However …
Gao Yin's strength was too shocking.
After this assassin cut the arrow shot by Gao Yin, the black gold arrow directly exploded, shattering into countless pieces.
These fragments suddenly shot towards his head.
The assassin immediately used the protective aura to protect his body.
However, this black gold arrow contained extremely powerful dragon power, and countless fragments directly penetrated the assassin's protective aura, smashing towards his head.
"Bang …"
Immediately, the assassin's head suddenly exploded, completely shattered, and he could not be more dead.
Gao Yin's arrow power was astonishing!
But unfortunately, he was not a dragon archer, so his accuracy was relatively low, and he could not shoot a fatal skill like Rapid Arrow.
Just like that …
Li Chenglian led a dozen assassins, smashing poison bombs along the way, and escaped through the tunnel created by the poisonous fog.
After a full 20 minutes, and after using up a hundred poison bombs, Li Chenglian and the assassins finally reached the palace gate.
Li Chenglian and the others pulled out their Golden Dragon swords, and were about to cut open the palace gate.
"Bang!"
But at this time, the palace gate suddenly opened!
Just as Zhi Li said, he had even infiltrated some of the imperial guards. Although it could not change the overall situation, it could be used at critical moments.
Things like secretly opening the palace gate could be done by the hidden spies.
Amidst the thick poisonous fog, Li Chenglian and the others escaped from the palace, and then continued to flee, fleeing towards the densely populated areas of Royal City.
At this time, Fengdu's city guards were mobilized in large numbers, sealing off all the streets of Royal City.
Then, hundreds and thousands of black figures appeared on the streets of Royal City, dressed exactly like Li Chenglian's assassins.
The real assassins immediately disappeared after blending into the crowd.
And the groups of city guards seemed to be arresting these black-clothed people, but in fact, they were actually secretly covering the assassins' escape.
By the time Gao Yin led the imperial guards out, Li Chenglian and the assassins had already disappeared without a trace.
...
After escaping to the secret underground hideout, Li Chenglian did a headcount.
Twenty-two super experts went to assassinate the king, but in the end, only five people escaped. Seventeen people were killed.
One should know that the lowest level of martial arts among these people was higher than Lord Tuli Wen, and most of them had the same level of cultivation as Zhuang Zhixuan.
Seventeen of these super experts had died.
Of the seventeen people who died, five were killed by the experts of the Shadow Pavilion, four were killed by Gao Yin's arrows, and the other eight were shot to death by the rain of arrows from the imperial guards.
Their martial arts were super strong, but their dragon power was exhausted, and they could no longer use the Vigor Shield, so they were shot to death by the arrows.
For this assassination, the Hidden Island and the Elf Continent had paid a huge price.
Now, they had finally succeeded!
Fortunately, Gao Yin and the others were focused on saving Zhi Ning and her son, and did not go to protect the king.
If Gao Yin, Ashita Liren, and the dozen or so experts of the Shadow Pavilion were protecting the king, then Li Chenglian basically had no chance of success.
In that case, Li Chenglian basically had no chance of success. It would even be difficult to enter the Purple Jade Palace. The 22 super experts would all die outside the Purple Jade Palace.
However, successfully assassinating the king was only the first step!
The second step was for Zhi Li to capture Zhi Ning and her son, and use the fact that Søren was his son to threaten Søren not to act rashly.
The third and second steps were carried out at the same time, to announce that the king had long passed away, but the funeral was kept a secret. Now that Søren had won, they created the illusion of assassinating the king, and tried to slander His Highness Zhi Li.
The fourth step was for Zhi Li to pretend to return to the capital as fast as possible, and forcibly ascend the throne with the support of the officials who stayed behind to guard Fengdu!
...
Fengdu Temple!
Before entering the tower, Zhi Li saw a red signal flare in the direction of the palace.
Instantly, he was so excited that his whole body trembled!
Success, Li Chenglian and the others had finally succeeded in assassinating the king. The dark cloud above his head had finally dispersed.
The king that he hated to the bone was finally dead!
The first step was a success, and now he had to move on to the second step!
Entering the tower, he walked down the stairs to the underground secret chamber.
After opening the door, he immediately saw three familiar people.
His wife Fang Qingzhuo, his sister Zhi Ning, and his handsome nephew, who was Søren's son.
Seeing Zhi Li enter, Zhi Ning was still hugging the baby, patting him gently to coax him to sleep, and did not look at him.
Fang Qingzhuo's eyes were fixed on Zhi Li.
She could protect the baby, she could definitely protect the baby.
She knew Zhi Li's fatal secret. Once the demonic blood in his body was made public, he would die without a doubt!
But now, she could not say that the two Temple cultivators in front of her were in cahoots with Zhi Li. Once she said it, she would only be silenced.
He had to say it in front of everyone, so that Feng Li wouldn't be able to silence him, and he would die for sure.
What should she do now? How could she protect the baby from harm?
The baby could not be harmed, or else she would not be able to forgive herself!
At this moment, footsteps came from above the secret chamber.
The tall and graceful Turin Duo walked down. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked extremely excited, like a beautiful flame burning in her.
"Wow, so this is Søren's son, so beautiful." Turin Duo said, "Even though Søren pretends to be indifferent, his love for his family is completely crazy. For the safety of his family, he is willing to pay any price. "
Tu Lingduo's voice was so shrill that the baby woke up. He looked at her with sleepy eyes and then pursed his lips, hesitating whether he should cry or not.
"Wow, he is so cute!" Turin Duo said excitedly, "Your Highness, can we have a baby as cute as him?"
Her voice was so sharp and piercing that the baby finally began to cry. It was not a loud wail, but a soft wail.
This kind of crying was to remind the mother to coax the baby, otherwise it would become a loud wail.
"Oh, good baby, we are not afraid!" Zhi Ning gently patted and comforted the baby.
Turin Duo said, "The baby's little hands are so cute, white and tender, and his fingers are like shallots. If I cut off two of them for Søren, he would probably be scared out of his wits and agree to any condition!"
Her voice became sweet and sweet, but the words that came out of her mouth made one's hair stand on end, and it made one shudder.
She looked at the baby with eyes full of crazy, deep-rooted hatred and resentment.
This was Søren's son!
Søren had made her so miserable. She could not take revenge on Søren, but taking revenge on his son and making Søren suffer was also very satisfying!
At this moment, the baby was finally frightened. He desperately hugged his mother with his chubby little hands, buried his little head in his mother's arms, and cried loudly!
