"Three-foot sword, defeated?"
In Shou'an Palace, after Mu Bai left, a shadow guard arrived and explained in detail what happened last night.
Emperor Shang was shocked after hearing the report from the Shadow Guard.
He was defeated in less than ten moves. Doesn't it mean that Ye Xuanji's strength is close to or even reaching the half-step god level?
It is impossible for ordinary people in the virtual flower realm to defeat the three-foot sword within ten moves.
In front of the dragon bed, the Shadow Guard reported the details of the assassination, then stood up and left.
From the beginning to the end, neither the Shadow Guard who reported the news nor Shang Huang had many words or reactions to Ye Xuanji's injury.
One reason is because facing the assassination of the human sword immortal, it is normal to be injured. The other reason is the deep-rooted arrogance under the imperial power. For a Taixue teacher, not to mention just being injured, even if he dies, it doesn't matter.
"The three-foot sword was defeated?"
After the Shadow Guards left, black energy surged in the hall. The Nine Infant Demon Emperor walked out and asked in surprise, "I remember that Ye Xuanji was in the late fifth realm when she first entered Taixue Palace."
"Daomen soldiers."
Emperor Shang said coldly, "Now, I am 70% sure that Ye Xuanji is a Taoist soldier. Now, the only question is whether Ye Xuanji and Yanyulou are related."
"Ye Xuanji rarely leaves Taixue Palace, and she is so powerful. It is not easy to verify this." The Nine Infant Demon Emperor said solemnly.
"Not in a hurry."
Emperor Shang closed his eyes and responded indifferently, "It is impossible for her to stay away from Taixue Palace for the rest of her life. As long as she leaves Taixue Palace, it will not be that easy to go back."
"Where is the Fourth Highness?"
The Nine Infant Demon Emperor reminded, "Your Majesty, do you want to comfort him?"
"No need."
Emperor Shang said calmly, "Three Feet Sword and the others were not caught on the spot. It would be unnecessary to do this, but this matter would be confirmed."
"What your Majesty said makes sense."
The Nine Infant Demon King nodded without saying anything more. Black energy surged around his body, and his figure disappeared.
At the same time, outside the palace.
Mu Bai walked out and walked towards his palace alone.
People always grow after experiencing setbacks. As a prince, Mu Bai experienced for the first time the lesson of the royal family's lack of family affection.
As Li Ziye said, the adult world is not a fairy tale. It is so cruel that it is unbelievable.
If you want to protect the people you cherish, you cannot rely on the kindness of others, but you must constantly urge yourself to become stronger.
Not long after, Mu Bai returned to the palace, went straight to the backyard, entered the room, and closed the door.
The empty room did not have many luxurious decorations. Mu Bai sat at the table, stunned.
I don't know why, but deep inside, I feel such pain.
The relationship between father and son was lost in one day.
No one can avoid the pain of growing up. Throughout his life, Mu Bai was obsessed with swords and had a pure mind. He was rarely tainted by the filth of the royal family. However, the cruelty of the royal family forced the prince who lived in a fairy tale to face reality.
Outside the room, the sun is heading westward, the day has passed, and the night has arrived as scheduled.
"Tianganwuzao, be careful of fire!"
On the street, the sound of the watchman sounded, so clear in this silent night.
Outside the room in the backyard of the palace, Mu Bai, who had been sitting all day, came to his senses when he heard the sound of the clock beating outside.
Without hesitation, Mu Bai picked up the black mask on the table and walked outside.
At the same time, in the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Xiao Si pushed his young master to leave and also left the mansion.
In the abandoned haunted house in the southwest of the capital, Li Ziye was the first to arrive, entered the secret room, closed his eyes and rested, and waited patiently.
Not long after, figures came one after another outside the haunted house and entered the secret room without saying a word.
The time of the appointment was approaching, and in front of the long table, figures sat quietly there, all wearing special masks to hide their faces.
"Time is up."
When midnight arrived, a person spoke in front of the long table and said in a cold voice, "It seems that he won't be coming."
"No, it's already here."
On the machine, Li Ziye opened his eyes and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure with a black mask walked outside the haunted house and went straight into the secret room inside the haunted house.
In the secret room, everyone saw the person coming and stood up one after another.
"No need to be polite."
Mu Bai saw more than ten people in the secret room, reached out and took off the mask on his face, and walked up to the young man on the machine chair.
"Your Highness."
Li Ziye looked at the fourth prince walking in front and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Thank you."
Mu Bai said seriously.
"You're welcome."
Li Ziye responded, glanced at everyone present, and said calmly, "Everyone here is waiting for His Highness. However, for everyone's safety, Your Highness only needs to know their existence. As for their identities, I think , it’s better to keep it secret.”
"It should."
Mu Bai nodded and said sternly, "Everyone, I am here to tell you that starting from today, I will fight for that position with all my strength without any hesitation. Therefore, please give me a helping hand. King, I’m so grateful!”
After saying that, Mu Bai held up his hands and bowed respectfully to everyone present.
In front of the long table, everyone received this gift, and no one avoided it.
In order to promote the fourth prince to the throne, everyone present was risking their own lives. They could afford this gift!
"Okay, everyone, let's get down to business."
Sitting on the machine chair, Li Ziye looked at everyone present and said calmly, "Yesterday, everyone must have known about the assassins entering the Taixue Palace. I have received accurate information. This matter is the number one enshrined in the royal family, San Chi. What the sword does.”
On the side, Mu Bai trembled when he heard this. Although he had already guessed that this was done by someone from the royal family, he did not expect that the person who took action would be his mentor.
"frenzied."
In the seat, an old man said in a deep voice, "I am a servant of the royal family, and I do such dirty things regardless of my status. I really disgrace the great merchant."
"Is it because of me?" Mu Bai asked softly.
"No."
Li Ziye denied, "It's not because of His Highness that the royal family teaches their opponents at night, but because they want to verify something."
Having said this, Li Ziye looked at everyone present and asked, "Have you ever heard of a word called Taoist soldiers?"
"Taoist soldiers?"
In front of the long table, a young man asked in surprise, "Recently, there have been some rumors circulating in the capital about Taoist soldiers. Could it be related to this matter?"
"good."
Li Ziye said calmly, "End of love, Taoist soldiers, this is the first kind of murder weapon developed by Taoists when they were researching war weapons. Later, with the efforts of later generations, the types of soldiers , and began to increase in number. However, no matter what kind of soldiers, they gain powerful strength through self-mutilation. Therefore, the production of soldiers has never been seen in the light. According to my speculation, Ye Xuanji’s teaching at night is very likely. That’s right, Taoist soldiers!”
