In the sky above Taiyue City, a purple-winged golden tiger roared. Next to him, Baili Xiyu looked at Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng not far away with an indifferent expression.
He had never seen Ye Ling before, so he didn't know the details of this sudden sword cultivator, so he asked: "Who are you?"
Ye Ling said: "Fourth Prince, enough people have died in this world. Please don't let your brothers fight with each other again!"
"Did my third brother send you here?" Baili Xiyu heard the words and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, I always thought he only hung out with those losers who read poetry and books. I didn't want to have such courage as you. The monks worked hard for him!"
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "I'm not someone who sacrifices my life for others. I just don't want to see any more lives lost!"
"oh?"
Baili Xi raised her eyebrows. At this time, the sound of footsteps could be heard in Taiyue City, war horses neighed, and flags fluttered. Countless soldiers and horses entered from the four gates and took control of Taiyue City.
Several generals led their troops to the center of the city, surrounded all the civil and military officials, and asked Baili Xi to come down.
Baili Xiyu seemed to be sure of victory and said with a smile: "I am the destined king, who dares to stop me?"
Ye Ling's face was expressionless, and the sharp aura around him continued to rise, and he actually wanted to fight Baili Xiyu.
Hua Xinfeng hurriedly grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Yi Zi, don't be impulsive! This is a royal matter, so you and I should not interfere!"
While he was talking, Song Zheng stepped into the void and walked towards the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
"How dare you!"
Baili Xiyu shouted, and the avenue of intense fire transformed into the void. But the next second, Ye Ling stepped on Xuantian's afterimage, and the wooden sword in his hand fell down. Countless sharp sword energies surrounded Baili Xiyu, leaving him no time to pay attention.
"Your opponent now is me!"
Baili Xiyu's face showed murderous intent, and his Dao power burst out, and the avenue of fire turned into a sea of fire that filled the sky and engulfed the sword energy. But the sword energy was so powerful that it split the flames and came back to kill him.
Baili Xiyu was furious, stretched out his hand, and a flaming square halberd appeared. The rhyme turned into fierce fire, killing all the incoming sword energy.
Seeing that Song Zheng was about to go to Chuanguo Jade Seal, he hurriedly shouted: "Come here, stop Song Zheng!"
"The last general takes command!"
Two generals, one fat and one thin, jumped into the air, and the avenues of water and fire intertwined to attack Song Zheng.
"Don't hurt Mr. Song!"
Ji Changfeng drew his sword out of its sheath, and the edge of the sword was carried by the strong wind and slashed at the two of them, immediately breaking through the fire and water. The two generals each used their spears and knives to fight Ji Changfeng, and they were inseparable.
On the ground, the officials who were surrounded by the army were on tenterhooks. They saw the fighting in the air again, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Someone asked He Lanyi: "Master Fuxiang, how should we deal with ourselves?"
Helan Yi didn't answer, but suddenly a large seal of the Assistant Prime Minister appeared on his sleeve, shining brightly and filled with Taoist charm. With a wave of his hand, the big seal mobilized the luck of the dynasty, and a shocking power drove away the surrounding soldiers and opened a path.
He walked up to Gao He and said, "Eunuch Gao, why don't you go and ask for the late emperor's edict?"
But Gao He said: "Without the Queen Mother and the Third Prince, I can't take out the edict!"
He Lanyi heard this and shouted coldly: "Do you want to watch the fourth prince do something disobedient and unfilial? You can follow the rules and authority. Now is not the time for you to act in accordance with etiquette and law!"
Hearing this, Gao He nodded and said to Zhang Mo and Zhao Yu: "Follow me to Yuxi Palace and ask for the late emperor's edict!"
But before the three of them could leave, soldiers and horses surrounded them, and a general shouted: "Who dares to leave here without the fourth prince's order!"
He Lanyi raised his seal high and shouted: "I am the assistant prime minister and cabinet minister, who dares to stop me!"
But the general refused to retreat: "I am the chief minister of the dynasty and a minister. How can I disobey the prince's order?"
He Lanyi looked at the general and said: "I know that your sect's Zhaoping realm is close to the immortal realm. Based on this, you dare to talk to me like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Lanyi raised his official seal high, and the luck of the dynasty turned into Tao power and suppressed Men Zhaoping.
Men Zhaoping shouted loudly, his Dao power running wildly around his body, and an invisible Tao force burst out against the Dao power. For a moment, He Lanyi frowned, finding it difficult to win.
Men Zhaoping sneered and said: "The general has been fighting in the north and south for many years, how can he be no better than you pampered officials!"
As he spoke, Men Zhaoping stretched out his hand and a bright yellow sword appeared, slashing at He Lanyi. The sword energy shattered the void with incomparable sharpness.
He Lan Yi's official seal flew up, and the invisible Tao force turned into a barrier to protect He Lan Yi's body, blocking all the sword energy.
But the next second, Men Zhaoping stepped forward with his sword and struck head-on. The blade broke through the barrier and landed on the big seal.
The big seal was dimmed by this blow, and He Lanyi was also sent flying out, almost falling to the ground.
Next to them, Zhao Yu and Zhang Mo hurriedly stepped forward, blocking the door to Zhaoping on the left and right. Unexpectedly, Men Zhaoping's tiger body trembled, and a Tao force knocked them back.
The two of them were not Men Zhaoping's opponents in the first place, but they ended up getting injured in the fight with Ye Ling. Now that they were weak, it was naturally difficult to stop them.
Men Zhaoping said: "Master Assistant Prime Minister, I have been ordered not to allow anyone to leave. Please forgive me. As long as you don't embarrass me anymore, I will naturally not do anything to you."
He Lanyi remained silent. He looked at Gao He. Gao He sighed slightly, indicating that he didn't need to force himself anymore.
In mid-air, fire was blazing. Baili Xiyu held the Fire Square Heavenly Halberd and forced Ye Ling back: "With this level of cultivation, do you dare to come and die?"
Ye Ling would not have lost to Baili Xiyu originally, but his injuries were not fully recovered and he was unable to exert his full strength, which made it difficult to resist.
Ye Ling gasped for breath, his strength unstable.
When Hua Xinfeng saw it, he was afraid that Ye Ling would make a mistake, so he hurriedly took out a bead from the storage ring. The bead emitted a brilliant light, and a giant python, a strange beast, suddenly came out of it and headed towards Baili Xiyu.
When Baili Xi saw it, she waved her halberd, and a beam of light shot out, hitting the giant python's body without leaving any trace.
The giant python roared, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Baili Xiyu. Baili Xiyu hurriedly dodged and avoided the giant python's mouth.
At this moment, the purple-winged golden tiger on his back roared loudly and rushed over, fighting with the giant python.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Xinfeng hurriedly grabbed Ye Ling and said distressedly: "Do you know how valuable my alien beast bead is? I tell you, you owe me this, and you have to pay it to me!"
Ye Ling smiled when he heard this and said: "If I am as rich as you in the future, I will definitely repay you thousands of times!"
"That's pretty much it!"
The two of them retreated continuously, but Baili Xiyu didn't seem to want to continue chasing them. Instead, he turned around and headed towards the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
Next to the jade seal, Ji Changfeng blocked the two generals and asked Song Zheng to go and collect the jade seal.
Song Zheng came to the side of the jade seal and said respectfully: "The dynasty is unfortunate and has encountered a catastrophe. Now that my throne is vacant, I ask the dynasty to choose a right leader to inherit the rule and protect billions of people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the jade seal shone with divine light, exuding infinite Taoist rhyme, which continued to spread to all directions. The auspicious light between heaven and earth was endless, and the auspicious colors continued.
But at this moment, Baili Xiyu knocked back Ji Changfeng with a halberd, and slapped Song Zheng behind with his backhand. Song Zheng spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down. Fortunately, Ji Changfeng caught up quickly and helped Song Zheng to the ground.
"not good!"
Gao He's expression changed and he said: "The fourth prince finally got the imperial seal." Zhao Yu and Zhang Mo gritted their teeth secretly, feeling unwilling to do so.
He Lanyi had no expression on his face, staring at the radiant jade seal, not knowing what he was waiting for.
The soldiers around Baili Xiyu have begun to cheer. As long as Baili Xiyu successfully ascends the throne, they will all serve as ministers of the dragon and enjoy great wealth.
In mid-air, Baili Xiyu faced the imperial seal and laughed loudly: "I am the master of Daqian, I am the king of a country!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the national jade seal, but unexpectedly the jade seal produced a force of resistance, making it difficult for Baili Xiyu's hand to move forward.
Baili Xiyu's expression changed slightly, but he was now under the spotlight and could not back down. Immediately, he secretly activated his Taoist power, and an invisible Taoist force surrounded Yu Xi, intending to use his strength to subdue him.
Unexpectedly, the imperial jade seal suddenly created a ripple of power, and Baili Xi Yuzhen, who was close at hand, flew out and almost fell into the void.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers who were celebrating with their hats stopped talking, and the entire Taiyue City fell silent. Only Bailixi said with hatred: "What on earth is going on?"
He rushed towards Song Zheng almost instantly, knocked Ji Changfeng away with one palm, then grabbed Song Zheng and asked, "What have you done? What have you done?"
Song Zheng smiled slightly and said: "The heaven has its own spirit, how can you do whatever you want and do whatever you want?"
When Baili Xiyu heard this, he was furious and knocked Song Zheng out with a palm, destroying more than a dozen houses and leaving him seriously injured and unconscious.
Then, he looked at the court officials and said angrily: "You are all seeing my joke, aren't you?"
All the officials were silent, no one dared to say a word. He Lanyi hurriedly stepped forward and said to Bai Lixi: "Fourth Prince, my veteran has long said that we should ask for the late emperor's will. Only by obtaining the will can we successfully succeed to the throne."
"Posthumous edict?"
Hearing this, Baili Xiyu looked at Gao He and said: "Eunuch Gao, I hope you won't be stubborn and take out the edict immediately. Otherwise, Song Zheng will be your fate!"
Gao He was not afraid and said: "Although I know the location of the imperial edict, the key is in the hands of the Queen Mother. The fourth prince needs to invite the Queen Mother back first before he can obtain the imperial edict of the late emperor!"
After hearing this, Baili Xiyu's face became uncertain, and then he ordered: "Where is Men Zhaoping?"
"The general is here!"
"Immediately arrange for soldiers and horses to block the four gates of Taiyue City. No one can enter or leave without my order. In addition, all civil and military officials in the court will be imprisoned and under strict supervision. If they dare to make the slightest move, they will be killed without mercy!"
"The last general takes command!"
After receiving Baili Xiyu's order, Men Zhaoping immediately summoned soldiers and horses to guard the four gates, and brought all the civil and military officials, He Lanyi, Gao He and others to the sky prison for detention and custody. The entire Taiyue City now fell into Baili Xiyu's hands.
Seeing the jade seal suspended in mid-air, Baili Xiyu smiled coldly: "Huh! This vast land and country will belong to me sooner or later!"
