Everyone's attention on the Kingdom of Song quickly shifted to the Kingdom of Zhao.
With the help of the Yan army, the Zhao army was unable to put down the rebellion effectively. The Tian and Ma rebels finally finished reorganizing their troops and the Waning Moon Pavilion also gathered a large number of rogue cultivators.
The Waning Moon Pavilion was not strong enough to take over the Kingdom of Zhao. However, the Waning Moon Pavilion had been planning for many years and had always been aware of the situation of the cultivation world. They had long known who they could recruit and who they could not. Taking advantage of the time that the Yan army bought for them, their years of preparation came in handy. They followed the map and recruited a large number of individual cultivators to join the Waning Moon Pavilion.
The Waning Moon Pavilion was not a sect that was passed down from generation to generation. It was originally an organization.
Now that they had abandoned their identity as a killer organization and publicly surfaced, it was still very attractive to gather ambitious people to create a great cause together.
The current situation was clear. Many rogue cultivators saw hope and came to join them.
Everything was ready. The Tian and Ma rebels launched an attack on the Kingdom of Zhao.
The reason for the attack was that the imperial court did not pay their troops. The Tian and Ma rebels had not paid their troops and the backbone of the army cooperated to block the news. They created rumors in the army that the Zhao imperial court did not pay them.
When the soldiers had not been paid for a long time and were full of resentment, they took the opportunity to attack. They said that they wanted the imperial court to give them an explanation.
The main force of the Zhao army was restrained by the Yan army and could not suppress the rebel army. The Tian and Ma rebels' attack was like a hot knife through butter. They did not meet any effective resistance.
After attacking the city and plundering the land, Tian and Ma let their men and horses loose to rape and pillage. The officers and soldiers were very happy to divide the gold and silver.
It didn't matter if these Zhao Kingdom's disciples knew what was going on. As soon as they took action, they became rebels. Once they committed rape and pillage, there was no turning back. They couldn't stand being frightened and could only follow this path to the end.
Wherever the rebel army went, there were people who fought to the death. Seeing that the imperial court could not save them, there were also many who surrendered.
The former died and the latter kept their lives and positions. However, the person they were loyal to changed.
The rebel army swept the way and recruited people to surrender. They claimed to have three million troops and went straight to the capital of Zhao.
The capital was in a state of emergency. Pang Teng could only retreat at all costs and rush back to provide assistance.
The price of the reinforcement was that five hundred thousand soldiers had to cover the retreat. How could they stop the millions of soldiers under Meng Shanming's command? They were torn into pieces by the Yan army.
The Yan army then chased after Pang Teng's men.
Who knew that the rebel army had already received Meng Shan Ming's signal. They were just baiting the enemy, so that Pang Teng would abandon his 500,000 men to die. This would weaken Pang Teng's army.
At this critical moment, the rebel army suddenly gave up on attacking the capital and changed their course to intercept Pang Teng's reinforcements, blocking Pang Teng's army head-on.
The Yan army arrived from the back and launched a pincer attack from the front and back. The two sides joined forces and began the final battle on the vast land that was only eight hundred miles away from the Zhao capital.
…
"Wah, wah …"
The clear cries of a baby resounded at dawn. Feng Ruonan, who was covered in sweat, lay on the bed. Her face was pale and powerless, but at the same time, gratified.
The entire Prince's Mansion was filled with joy. Shang Shuqing held the baby in his arms and looked at him. From time to time, his fingers would fiddle with the baby's tiny mouth.
"Hurry, the Little Prince is born. Hurry and report the good news to the Prince!" Lan Ruoting's excited voice could be heard.
Just as the celebration was about to start, a few large flying beasts flew across the night sky. More than ten figures descended from the sky and landed directly on the Prince's Mansion.
Before they could land, they were already discovered by the cultivators guarding the mansion. One of them shouted, "Enemy attack!"
More than ten figures flew up into the sky and fought fiercely in the sky. The huge commotion broke the peace of the Prefecture City.
"Princess, the enemy is attacking. Let's go!" A few cultivators barged into the room. A female cultivator immediately carried Feng Ruonan, who was lying on the bed.
Shang Shuqing also carried the baby and followed.
There was a secret passage in the house. With a click of a button, the ground at the corner of the wall flipped and an entrance appeared. A few cultivators quickly went in and protected Feng Ruonan.
"Mister, let's go!"
Under the eaves, a few cultivators flashed over and quickly carried Lan Ruoting away.
Boom! Not long after Feng Ruonan and the others escaped from the house, the roof was flipped over. An old man dashed into the house and looked around. When he didn't see anyone, he engaged in a fierce battle with the cultivators guarding the house.
There weren't many attackers, but their strength was frighteningly high. They beat the cultivators guarding the house into a mess.
Under the joint attack of three people, the Elder of Xiao Yao Palace, who was guarding the place, was sent flying while spitting out blood. He crashed onto the ground and quickly stood up. He looked around and was shocked. With a stern expression, he said, "It's you guys!"
It was no wonder that so many experts couldn't stop these people. In order to launch a sneak attack here, the Supreme Elders of Sunset Villa, Gui Yuan Sect, and Gathering Immortal Sect, who were also the Elders of the Three Major Sects of Zhao Country, actually gave up the responsibility of guarding their sects. They actually abandoned all the important places of Zhao Country and joined hands to rush here.
The three enemies once again joined hands and pounced over. The severely injured Supreme Elder of Xiao Yao Palace was killed on the spot!
A Supreme Elder of Great Zen Mountain also died tragically on the spot!
The other attackers fought while searching for their target, but they couldn't find their target.
"Wa wa …" A faintly discernible cry of a baby suddenly sounded.
An old man who sent two cultivators flying suddenly turned his head and stared at a fake mountain in the courtyard. The faintly discernible cry seemed to be coming from the hole in the fake mountain.
Boom! The fake mountain collapsed and the ground caved in, revealing an entrance. The wailing sound of the baby became clearer.
The old man entered the underground passage in a flash. He didn't know where the underground passage led to, but he quickly followed the sound of the crying.
The cultivators in the underground passage also realized their negligence. They didn't expect the baby to suddenly cry, so they hurriedly sealed the baby's acupuncture point.
However, it was too late. The escorting cultivators quickly split up to block the way, but the cultivators who blocked them weren't a match for the old man.
During the fight, the underground passage suddenly collapsed. The old man brazenly broke through the collapse and arrived at the other side of the broken underground passage. His Transcendence Eyes flashed and he saw a woman covered with a layer of soil. She squatted at the corner of the wall, bent over and waved her arms to cover a swaddle. She protected the swaddle tightly, afraid that it would be smashed by the soil and stones.
The person carrying the swaddle was Shang Shuqing. When she raised her head, her eyes met the old man's. She faintly felt that someone was standing in front of her.
She didn't have Transcendence Eyes. Even at such a close distance, she couldn't tell if the person in front of her was a friend or foe. However, she felt a strong threat. She stood up and ran with the child in her arms.
When the old man saw her frighteningly ugly face, he was stunned for a moment. He stared at the baby, who was obviously just born. Just as he was feeling happy, Shang Shuqing ran away.
He opened his claw, and a powerful suction force directly pulled Shang Shuqing over.
At the corner of the underground passage, a female cultivator covered Feng Ruo Nan's mouth with all her might. In a moment of desperation, she used her finger to knock Feng Ruo Nan unconscious and shouted, "Quick, over here!"
The old man who grabbed Shang Shuqing was shocked. He waved his hand and blasted open the ground above him. He sucked in two people, one big and one small, and rushed out of the ground.
The old man didn't even land on the ground. His sleeves fluttered, and as he continued to soar into the sky, he shouted, "Got it. If we delay, something might happen. Retreat!"
The other assassins who were fighting in the manor immediately soared into the sky. They were all experts who didn't need to borrow any strength to soar into the sky.
The cultivators below couldn't catch up to them even if they wanted to.
The guards outside the manor were already in position with all sorts of sharp weapons. However, they didn't receive the order to attack from inside the manor.
Without the order, if the people inside the manor weren't prepared, the army wouldn't dare to use sharp weapons to attack. They were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people.
A group of archers rushed in, only to find that the battle had already stopped.
The six people in the sky rode on six large flying beasts. They caught the dozen or so assassins who soared into the sky, and quickly fled into the darkness.
"Didn't you say that you succeeded? You didn't catch that big bellied woman? "
"This baby should be Shang Chaozong's son."
"Are you sure?"
"I've just used my arts to check. His navel is still fresh. He was clearly just born. Take a look at this one. " The old man who was carrying the baby with one hand grabbed Shang Shuqing's hair with the other and pulled it back. Shang Shuqing's face trembled in pain, revealing his ugly face.
"Oh, this should be Shang Chaozong's little sister."
"Just born. A newborn in the manor, and with Shang Chaozong's little sister protecting him with all her might. If he isn't Shang Chaozong's son, who else could he be?"
"Good. We didn't catch that big bellied woman, but it's the same if we catch Shang Chaozong's son and his little sister."
The Great Elder of Xiao Yao Palace who died in battle was right. These attackers were the top forces of the three major sects of Zhao.
This time, the Great Elders of the three major sects of Zhao came out in full force to capture Feng Ruo Nan. They heard that she was pregnant, and they were going to use her to threaten Shang Chaozong.
As the so-called righteous sects, holding a pregnant woman as a hostage was too despicable. Such despicable methods would be shameful.
They knew that this was a serious matter, and it was impossible to use a pregnant woman to threaten the Yan army to retreat.
Normally, they wouldn't do such a thing. However, the three major sects of Zhao were forced into a dead end. Once Zhao Kingdom collapsed, the three major sects would be finished as well. Zhao Kingdom was the foundation that they relied on to survive and maintain their power.
Their power was not small, but it was impossible for them to control a country by relying on sneaky acts of killing and killing.
Once they lost, not only would they become stray dogs, but they would also lose the right to speak in Zhao Kingdom. They would also lose the right to speak in Misty Pavilion.
Since they were forced to this point, even if they knew that there was no hope, they still had to try.
Before, they wanted to beg Niu Youdao, but now that there was no hope, they naturally wouldn't be courteous. They prepared to make a move on Niu Youdao, but who knew that Niu Youdao was one step ahead of them and actually hid in the midst of the experts.
Left with no choice, they could only settle for the next best thing and try to make a move on this side …
The Prince's Manor was in a mess. Lan Ruoting came out from his hiding place, and Feng Ruo Nan was carried out as well.
Seeing that Feng Ruo Nan was unconscious, Lan Ruoting asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with Princess?"
The female cultivator said, "She's fine. I made her fall asleep, and she will be released now."
Lan Ruoting raised his hand to stop her and said with a cold face, "Princess just gave birth. If she knew that the Little Prince was kidnapped, I'm afraid …" He waved his hand.
The female cultivator understood what he meant and took Feng Ruo Nan away to settle down.
"Who knows the assailant?" Lan Ruoting turned around and asked.
Someone said, "I've only seen one of them. It's the Supreme Elder of Sunset Villa."
"Zhao Kingdom …" Lan Ruoting looked up at the night sky and murmured, "They are cornered. Before they succeed, the princess and the Little Prince should not be in danger for now."
Another person said, "This is troublesome!"
