This was a failure of the Tang Army that came too suddenly. Although this result was destined, it was just a matter of time. But when this situation was really put in front of the Tang people, it was really not that easy for people to accept.
Lin Ye struggled to get up and looked at the seven people of Xuantian Sect opposite him with cold eyes. As his energy circulated, he was vigilant and alert, ready to use some extraordinary means at any time!
Although that would cost a lot, so what? The current situation no longer allows him to do what he wants. Once the situation continues to deteriorate, he can only stop it!
"Did you lose?" Tang Tianzi clenched his fist slightly. Although his face was relatively calm, his slightly trembling body showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed. An uncontrollable anger was brewing.
The Tang State was proud of the world, and under his governance it prospered to an unparalleled level. It was not afraid of a fight against any country or force!
But who would have thought that Xuantian Sect's sudden attack would tear the Tang Dynasty's dignity to pieces.
Although there are many unfavorable factors, such as the sudden incident, lack of combat power, support not arriving in time, etc. These factors exist objectively and are indeed key factors that can affect the situation of the war.
However, the real Tang people will not make any excuses for their defeat. All they can do is fight!
Even though the high-end combat power is now defeated, the soldiers below are still persisting, using their lives to block the enemy's attack.
Xuan Jin stood at the head of the seven people, looked at Lin Ye and others below quietly, and said indifferently: "Surrender! Make way for everyone, it is good for everyone! We are just here to pick up something, and we have no feelings for the Tang State itself. interest!"
Lin Ye sneered and said, "Surrender? You're kidding! How many Tang people have you seen surrendering since the founding of the Tang Dynasty?"
"People of the Tang Dynasty can only die standing up, never live on their knees!"
Xuan Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "You have a lot of backbone! However, your current situation is not the time to show off your heroic spirit. If you really continue to block it, you will be destroyed in an instant!"
Lin Ye snorted coldly and said: "Stop talking nonsense and go ahead if you want to take action! Even if I die here today, you sanctimonious guys won't be too happy!"
He is ready to fight! After all, at this time, there was still no sign of reinforcements. It must have been Xuantian Sect that had done something wrong.
And these people here alone are obviously far from being able to stop the invasion of Xuantian Sect, and they seem to be forced to the end of their rope!
I have no choice but to fight to the death. I just hope that I can bring one or two Xuantian Sect masters along with me on the road. This life will not be wasted!
At this moment, Tang Tianzi also slowly grasped the formation pestle with his palm, preparing to activate the formation at all costs. Although it was a bit overkill to deal with the people in front of me, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, we couldn't really allow people to invade Chang'an City.
But before he actually activated the formation, he suddenly felt palpitations in his heart, and then there was an inexplicable feeling.
He turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the imperial city, then his face darkened and he said, "Someone wants to touch the 'True Dragon Spirit'!"
For something like this that is related to the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, how could there be no protective force? Restrictions have been set up around it. This is closely related to the Emperor of Tang. Once someone breaks in, he will instantly sense it.
"Who is it?" Tang Tianzi's mind was racing at this moment, and he was checking the characters one by one.
There are only two ways to pass the restriction: one is to use force to break through, but this requires at least the strength of the innate realm. You must know that Emperor Tang has put in a lot of effort to maintain this restriction.
The other is relatively simple and does not require such a high level, but it does require the blood of the royal family, and the higher the concentration of blood in the body, the better the effect.
This in itself was a targeted design made by Emperor Tang. After all, how could the royal bloodline betray the Tang state? This is an incredible thing!
Who would have known that such a "rebellious boy" would really appear in the royal family. While the Tang Dynasty's troops were at war with the Xuantian Sect, he had so openly invaded the forbidden area where the "True Dragon Spirit" was stored. Go among them.
There is no need to think about this situation carefully. It must be that the royal family and the Xuantian Sect outside have reached some kind of deal, so they made this internal response.
After all, there is no such coincidence in the world. This is a game in itself, a shocking game in which Xuantian Sect seizes the "True Dragon Spirit"!
"Bastard! Which bastard actually did such a heinous thing! Come on, follow me back to the palace as quickly as possible!" Emperor Tang said anxiously.
Comparing the two, it is obvious that the matter of "True Dragon Spirit" is more important.
Even if the city gate is lost, there is still room for recovery, but once the "true dragon spirit" is lost, the fate of the Tang Dynasty will decline. By that time, even if there is no external pressure threat, the Tang Kingdom will gradually wither away!
"We must not let this happen!" Tang Tianzi held the formation pestle tightly. He always felt that things would not be so simple.
Even if an insider temporarily obtains the "True Dragon Spirit", as long as he is still in the city of Chang'an, he can take it back. Don't forget, there is a big formation here, and this is his home court!
But the enemy is not a fool. It is impossible that he did not expect this, so the opponent must have a way to deal with it!
Emperor Tang did not dare to be careless. After all, facing a transcendent force like Xuantian Sect, if he was not careful, he might lose everything!
The uneasiness in his heart is now gradually increasing. Without knowing the enemy's specific arrangements, the only thing he can do is to rush back to the imperial city as soon as possible. Maybe it's not too late!
"Tang Huang, where are you going?" A voice came suddenly, and then a short sword suddenly arrived.
Not only that, there were also secret attacks coming from two other directions, targeting Emperor Tang directly.
At this critical moment, the old man who had been accompanying Emperor Tang suddenly took action. His palms instantly turned red, as if they were soaked in blood, but there was also a sense of monster, and the whole was crystal clear, as if Red crystal agate.
His figure flashed rapidly, and the movements in his hands were extremely fast, dazzling people, leaving only afterimages.
This original fatal blow was resolved by him, and the three sneak attacks were also repelled. Only then did the guards react. They raised their weapons one after another, surrounded Emperor Tang in the center, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
"'Blood Jade Hand'? You really deserve your reputation! Everyone in the world said you were dead, but I didn't expect you to still be so energetic. The rumors are indeed unbelievable!" The sneak attacker who spoke out before smiled slightly and said jokingly.
The old man who was at the side of Emperor Tang was the famous "Blood Jade Hand" in the past. His hands were so tough that he could withstand high-level weapons without falling behind. He was extremely powerful!
It is precisely because of such people by his side that the safety of Emperor Tang can be guaranteed!
However, with the appearance of the assassin, the situation on the field took a turn for the worse. The actions of these people showed one problem, that is, Chang'an City has been infiltrated.
In other words, now they have to face not only the powerful enemies outside, but also the hidden stakes in the city, and the number will definitely not be small!
The three people who just took action are all in the acquired realm. If the people lurking in the city are all of this level, then the terror of the Xuantian Sect will be even higher!
"Don't get entangled with them, return to the imperial city quickly!" Emperor Tang made this decision after thinking about it for a while.
The reason is very simple. If the other party's real target is you, then you won't shout before the sneak attack. Isn't that just a lack of brains? He believed that the other party would not be such an idiot!
If it's not that practicing Qigong has turned the brain into a muscle, then there is only one possibility: they want to attract their attention and take the opportunity to delay themselves in order to buy time elsewhere!
But Emperor Tang was not a simple character. He understood the other party's true intentions in a moment, remained unmoved and continued to rush towards the imperial city.
The three people's faces darkened and they were about to continue the attack, but the imperial guards beside Emperor Tang were not vegetarians either! After reacting, they immediately formed a team and surrounded the three assassins. Without saying a word, they launched a burst of stabbing attacks.
Although their realm is not low, those who can serve as imperial guards beside Emperor Tang are not ordinary people. They are all elites in the army. Even for them, they had to pay a heavy price for not paying attention, and they were soon trapped in place.
"Asshole! Emperor Tang, coward, don't leave if you can!" The curse came, but Emperor Tang turned a deaf ear. He had no time to talk nonsense like this now, he had more important things to do.
Sneak attacks occurred one after another along the way. Although the strength of the following people was not as strong as the previous three, they also caused some obstacles to Emperor Tang's return to the palace.
He ignored these and left everything to the guards around him, so groups of guards were left behind, and there were fewer and fewer people around him.
He finally returned to the Imperial City, and the scene in front of him made his eyes freeze. The Imperial City was stained with blood, and the guards inside were cleared away and replaced by some other soldiers!
"Kill!" Emperor Tang didn't care to think deeply. Since the imperial city was invaded, he would fight all the way in and find the culprit of the betrayal. Kill him and things will be easier!
With the "bloody jade hands" leading the way, these soldiers who had just occupied the imperial city were killed in the most ruthless way!
Tang Tianzi and his party moved forward without taking any detours. They broke through like a pointed cone and went straight to the place where the "True Dragon Spirit" was placed.
Soon, Emperor Tang arrived at a side hall. The door of the secret room had been opened, and a man who looked very similar to Emperor Tang came out. He looked at the group of Emperor Tang who came over, and he didn't seem to be interested. Why was he surprised? He just said calmly: "Father, you are here!"
Emperor Tang looked at the prince in front of him, and all kinds of complicated emotions came to his heart. Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence, saying: "Jianyuan, why?"
The prince smiled slightly, but the smile contained a hint of coldness, and said slowly: "Because, I want you to die!"
