The envoys all had the same thought when they saw each other. It was a trap! This was definitely a trap set up by Niu Youdao!
However, they could not figure out why Niu Youdao wanted to kill them. Was his brain filled with water or dung? Not only would killing them not bring him any benefits, but he would also cause a lot of trouble. Was he tired of living?
"Damn it! Bastard, he's always making life difficult for the envoys! "Someone cursed.
"Swoosh!" A whistling arrow shot into the sky.
"Swoosh … swoosh … swoosh …"
Whistling arrows shot into the sky one after another.
Seeing that there were so many assassins and that the situation was dire, the various countries sent out rescue signals.
There were more than just a few envoys from each country. There were many things that needed to be done when stationed in another country. It was not something that could be done with just a few people. It was an entire team of envoys. The guards were not to be trifled with. Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the attacks of enemies with ulterior motives.
Although the various countries wanted to find Niu Youdao, they had obeyed Niu Youdao's instructions to not bring people to meet in secret. However, that did not mean that they did not make preparations.
It was impossible not to make preparations for any accidents.
As soon as the rescue signal was sent out, there were still hundreds of people who flew over without a care in the world upon hearing the news.
The manor that was besieged immediately descended into chaos. The reinforcements fought their way into the siege to save the envoys.
The assassins were on a killing spree. The envoys were also on a killing spree. They did not care if they were in the Yan capital. Were they not allowed to resist the assassins?
As long as they could survive, they would be able to reason with them.
With so many cultivators and such a large scale battle, the commoners outside fled in fear. The chaos gradually spread to the entire capital.
At the besieged area, the envoys of the six nations joined forces to fight back. They cursed at Niu Youdao.
"Whizz!" Suddenly, an aurora that could be seen with transcendence eyes appeared on a nearby roof.
"Heavenly Sword Talisman!" Some of the envoys were shocked. One of them quickly took out a Heavenly Sword Talisman and cast it.
A huge sword-shaped astral shadow came crashing down from the roof. Then, a huge sword-shaped astral shadow burst out from the ground to meet the attack.
Bang! Bang!
A series of booms rang out as both sides unleashed twelve Celestial Sword Astral Shadows in succession, clashing head-on with each other. Astral Qi overflowed in all directions, violent gales swept across, and debris flew everywhere.
The envoys of the various countries were almost blown away, but they were protected by the defensive cultivators.
As soon as the rumbling stopped, another aurora appeared. Another Heavenly Sword Talisman appeared among the assassins.
The envoys of the six states were not to be trifled with. The Heavenly Sword Talisman from the State of Zhao was used up, and the State of Korea used another Heavenly Sword Talisman.
Both sides used the Heaven Sword Talismans to clash head-on. One side bombarded indiscriminately, while the other defended desperately.
The power of the Heavenly Sword Talismans on both sides had been exhausted, and the assassin's side had another Heavenly Sword Talisman!
On Wei Guo's side, an aurora burst forth as he used his Heavenly Sword Talisman to defend.
Both sides seemed to have gone crazy. The Heaven Sword Talismans seemed to be endless as they bombarded each other.
After a few Heaven Sword Talismans exploded, the leader of the assassins was stunned. In order to assassinate Niu Youdao, the mastermind had spared no expense.
Because he knew that Niu Youdao might have a Heaven Sword Talisman, and because he knew that Niu Youdao was protected by Wu Zhaoxing, who was ranked sixth on the Pill Roll, the mastermind was determined to kill him. He spared no expense and directly transferred ten Heaven Sword Talismans to Niu Youdao.
Even a large sect would find it hard to take out so many Heaven Sword Talismans, but the mastermind had used so many at once. This was not the work of an ordinary person. One could only imagine how powerful the mastermind was.
In short, there was only one goal. No matter what, they had to kill Niu Youdao. Otherwise, the mastermind's life would be in danger!
The mastermind was really anxious this time. He was really willing to pay any price!
The cultivators of the six states were also stunned. Was this necessary? In order to kill them, Niu Youdao was willing to use so many Heaven Sword Talismans. Did he dig up his ancestors' graves? Were Heaven Sword Talismans free? A Heaven Sword Talisman was worth tens of millions!
Fortunately, after the assassination of Ambassador Yan and the assassination of Ambassador Song, the major sects of each country had mobilized the Heavenly Sword Talisman as a precaution, lest the major sects couldn't even protect an ambassador and lose face.
Of course, they knew that assassinations of envoys were not common. The Heaven Sword Talismans were really prepared just in case. The possibility of using them was not high.
Each of the six envoys had a Heavenly Sword Talisman. Who would have thought that they would be put to use today? Not just one, but all of them had been put to use!
It was normal for them to be so extravagant. A country's diplomatic mission had a heavy responsibility and was always equipped with luxurious equipment. The Heaven Sword Talisman was secondary. If there was an emergency, they could even deploy large flying beasts to provide support. Back then, Shao Pingbo was taken away by the Jin Country's diplomatic mission in the Qi Country.
Deep underground, Niu Youdao and the others raised their heads and looked at the sand and stones falling down like rain. They were shaken down.
Niu Youdao was curious. "We were hiding so deep, yet the tremors were so strong. The fight was so intense. Did they use the Heaven Sword Talismans?"
The few of them looked at each other.
Yun Ji pressed her hand on the wall to cast a spell. Otherwise, she would be buried alive.
The tremors were intense and persistent. Wu Zhaoxing asked, "Is it the Heaven Sword Talisman? How many Heaven Sword Talismans did they use? "
Obviously, he was doubtful about whether they were using the Heaven Sword Talismans. Niu Youdao was also a little suspicious. Needless to say, with such a huge commotion, the intensity of the fight was imaginable.
Guan Fangyi was alarmed. "It seems that the person who wants to kill you is determined to kill you!"
…
Many of the citizens in the capital were panicking. Many could only pretend not to hear it. They shut their doors and windows tightly and trembled in fear.
Those with power and influence increased their guards.
A group of officials hurried over and surrounded the Gao Mansion.
Fan Zhuan ran into the inner chamber and reported to Gao Jiancheng who was standing under the eaves, "Master, the magistrate court's men have arrived."
Gao Jiancheng looked in the direction where the commotion was more intense. "Is it where Niu Youdao is staying?"
Fan Zhuan replied, "Yes, they have already started. With such a huge commotion, it seems like the ground is going to collapse. It seems that Tong Mo is willing to pay any price! "
Slowly, Gao Jiancheng said, "It is precisely because of such a huge commotion that I am worried. Niu Youdao really came prepared!"
Fan Zhuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood. That's right. Otherwise, Niu Youdao's men would not be able to resist to such an extent. This can only mean that Niu Youdao is well prepared.
Gao Jiancheng said, "The two of them openly fought in the capital and completely shed all pretense of cordiality. This is a fight to the death!"
Fan Zhuan said, "From the looks of it, the assassination in the mystic realm really angered Niu Youdao. This time, Niu Youdao is here to settle the score with Tong Mo!"
Gao Jiancheng sighed softly. "One side is a dragon crossing the river, coming to stir up trouble. The other side is a snake in the ground. The wind and rain cannot touch them. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in the ground. No one knows who will win. If Niu Youdao is defeated, the pillar of the Southern Province's faction will fall. If Tong Mo is defeated, he will be consigned to eternal damnation. "
Fan Zhuan said, "That person in the palace must have intervened. Otherwise, Tong Mo would not dare to cause such a huge commotion. If Niu Youdao wins, will that person in the palace be implicated?"
Gao Jiancheng shook his head. "Without that person in the palace's approval, this will not happen. Tong Mo is just a sacrificial warrior from the palace who pushed the boat along with the current. No matter what the final result is, that person in the palace will be fine. Even if they don't like him, the three major sects will definitely protect him. Southern Province is already a headache for the three major sects. How can they let the forces of Southern Province control the entire Yan Province? "
Fan Zhuan pondered.
"The two of them will not rest until one of them is dead. At this stage, I'm afraid one of them will fall … Tonight, no one will be able to sleep!"
… …
"What's going on?"
In the palace, the elders of the three major sects had already led a group of people to protect Shang Jianxiong and the others.
At first, because the sounds of fighting here were too loud, they did not hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. It was only when the Heavenly Sword Talisman was used that they noticed the obvious abnormality.
What's going on? Currently, no one could answer!
The elders of the three major sects looked at each other in bewilderment.
The fighting in front of them had not stopped yet. They did not know if the assassin still had any tricks up his sleeves. This caused them to be afraid and did not dare to split their forces. If the Emperor that the three major sects worked together to protect was killed, it would become a huge joke!
Shang Jianxiong's eyes flickered.
… …
In the Tong Residence, a golden wing flew into the courtyard. The receiver quickly took out a letter from a tube and handed it to the housekeeper, Tong Ming.
The situation was urgent. For the sake of convenience, the letter was an open letter. There was no need to keep the so-called secret letter secret anymore.
Once he read the contents of the letter, Tong Ming turned pale with fright and ran into the room in a panic. He didn't care about his feet and directly stepped on Tong Mo's calligraphy. "Prime Minister, this is bad!"
"What are you panicking for?" Tong Mo suddenly raised his head and shouted. His beard and hair swayed slightly, and he had an intimidating aura.
Tong Ming pointed in a certain direction. "The envoys of Jin, Wei, Qi, Song, Han, and Zhao are all in the house that is being besieged. They are helping Niu Youdao to fight back!"
Clatter! The brush in Tong Mo's hand fell and smashed on the white paper. His eyes instantly turned red. "Why are the envoys of the six states at the same time at his place?"
Tong Ming was so anxious that he almost cried. "This old servant doesn't know!"
Tong Ming grimaced. "Didn't you guarantee that no one else entered the house?"
"I …" Tong Ming's voice trembled. "This old servant doesn't understand either. There's nothing wrong with the house. There's no secret passage, and it's impossible to dig it now. If we dug it now, we would need to move a lot of soil and stones. It's impossible not to be discovered."
Tong Mo's cheeks trembled a few times. His face contorted into a hideous expression as he said word by word, "You killed the people of the three major sects and the envoys of the six nations. Now, you're besieged from both inside and outside. You're pressuring both the three major sects and the imperial court at the same time. What a treacherous scoundrel.
Tong Ming asked, "Prime Minister, should we give the order to retreat?"
"Bullsh * t! How? Can you guarantee that no one from the three major sects or the six states died? " Tong Mo shouted angrily. He quickly calmed down. "Are you sure that Niu Youdao is still in the house?"
"This …" Tong Ming didn't know how to confirm it. After the envoys of the six states appeared, there must be a secret passage that they didn't know about. He couldn't guarantee it anymore.
