Crack!
Not only Yun Xiao inside the grand hall, but also Empress Dowager Nie Yi who had just leapt from the top of the hall, and countless Xuantie Army soldiers and Commanders including Xuan Jiuding, all heard this strange sound in their ears,
The crowd looked towards the sound and imdiately witnessed a scene of extre bloodshed, only to see the massive Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion tearing off another arm of Ran Xing, blood splattering everywhere.
"Ah!"
If previously Ran Xing could endure the pain of cutting off his own right arm, now that he was severely injured, he couldn’t help but scream out in agony.
The Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion, seizing the advantage, showed no rcy for this old foe; it was dominating the fight, so why wouldn’t it kick the enemy when he’s down?
"Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao, spare my life, I guarantee I will never appear in the Xuanyue Empire again!"
Only at this mont did Ran Xing finally panic. Everyone cherishes their lives, especially this guy who flaunted his power all the way from the Middle Three Realms down to the Lower Five Realms.
Ran Xing knew that the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion followed only Yun Xiao’s orders, so at this mont he didn’t negotiate with the lion at all, but instead dodged its attacks while calling out loudly.
"Yun Xiao, everything, all of it was instructed by Xuan Jiuding and Nie Yi, even the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance by Xuan Haoran, it has nothing to do with !"
Seeing the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion’s attacks getting fiercer, Ran Xing had no intention of concealing anything, and after these words were spoken, Nie Yi on the roof and Xuan Jiuding below both had their faces drastically change.
All along, Xuan Jiuding and Nie Yi had been carefully maintaining their conspiracies to prevent any leaks, the purpose being to control these Xuantie Army soldiers and the political ministers.
But now, in this public setting, Ran Xing, a co-conspirator, had directly shouted out loud, which was probably more convincing than if Yun Xiao made this public himself, wasn’t it?
Even though the Xuantie Army was personally trained by Xuan Jiuding, in these soldiers’ hearts, the Xuanyue Empire was their ho. If they followed a king who had killed his father and committed endless atrocities, wouldn’t they be no different from beasts?
Many Xuantie Army soldiers, for a mont, stopped their actions; they stared dumbfounded at the new King and then at Empress Dowager Nie Yi on the roof, seemingly unable to believe what they heard.
Clang!
Suddenly, the sound of a weapon hitting the ground echoed, followed by a chain reaction, with many of the Xuantie Army soldiers’ weapons dropping to the ground one after another, clearly giving up resistance.
Previously, these Xuantie Army soldiers felt that they were protecting their country and upholding the majesty of the Xuanyue Imperial Family, and under the command of the King, they could only forge ahead.
But now, the King they had pledged loyalty to turned out to be a despicable and shaless villain, who even murdered his own father. They were beings of flesh, blood, soul, and integrity; they simply could not accept Xuan Jiuding as their ruler anymore.
Furthermore, with Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan guarding the gate, these Xuantie Army soldiers couldn’t even get in. At this point, they suddenly began to understand Xuan Jiuding’s intentions.
He wanted to use his own Xuantie Army soldiers as cannon fodder. Didn’t they see that even Spirit Vein Realm powerhouses like Yan Chun and Yan Yong had not taken action? While many of their lower-ranked soldiers had nearly died by the hundreds, the corpses were piling up like mountains.
For these two reasons, the Xuantie Army soldiers truly didn’t want to fight anymore. Because even if it ant sacrificing their lives, those lives shouldn’t be given for a tyrant who killed his father.
Yun Xiao did not pay attention to Ran Xing’s words, and the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion, not having received orders from Yun Xiao, naturally showed no restraint. How long could Ran Xing, who could only dodge without fighting back, last?
Sshrip!
A sound of flesh being torn apart thundered through the air, and then the crowd saw Ran Xing’s body being split into two halves by the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion.
His organs and intestines spilled all over the floor, mixed with countless amounts of blood. This grueso spectacle nearly scared the lower-ranked Xuantie Army soldiers out of their wits.
This person who had always been against Yun Xiao and had tried to take his life several tis, how could Yun Xiao possibly have the slightest bit of pity? The Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion’s killing of him could also be considered as removing a big threat for the Jade Pot Sect.
Putting aside Ran Xing’s ridian Qi combat capabilities, that Earth Rank level Poison ridian Skill was truly unpredictable. Even if he had lost both arms, Yun Xiao had no intention of letting the tiger return to the mountain.
"Eh? Where did Xuan Jiuding and his mother go?"
Just as Yun Xiao shifted his gaze from the shattered remnants of Ran Xing, his expression changed slightly because Nie Yi, who had been on the roof just before, had disappeared without a trace, along with the new King, Xuan Jiuding.
In just a mont, this mother and son pair vanished from Yun Xiao’s sight. It had to be said they were probably well-prepared, which made Yun Xiao, who had been hoping to take them down in one fell swoop, sowhat frustrated and disappointed.
"Xuantie Army soldiers, heed my command, lay down your weapons, surrender and you shall not be killed!"
As Yun Xiao grieved, a loud shout already ca from sowhere. By the ti he turned to look, he saw a young man dressed in armor charging ahead, none other than the Second Prince of the Empire, Xuan Jing.
The Xuantie Army soldiers, who lacked fighting spirit to begin with, and leaderless after Nie Yi and Xuan Jiuding’s departure, were further scattered when charged by the Jingyu Army led by Xuan Jing and ultimately gave up resistance.
However, compared to those ordinary Xuantie Army soldiers, Commanders like Yan Chun and Yan Yong naturally put up a desperate fight, knowing well that as confidants of Xuan Jiuding, if captured, their fate would be very grim.
It must be said that the strength of these few was indeed formidable. With all their might unleashed, they had actually made a bloody path for themselves, ready to break free from the control of the Jingyu Army.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Yan Chun, Yan Yong, Mo Li and the others thought they could escape through their own strength, unexpectedly, a whistling sound arose and several powerful attacks swept toward them from the front in an instant.
The imnse power caused these few to stagger, forcing them to defend themselves, but the very act of defense saw these Spirit Vein Realm experts being pushed back several steps, leaving them in shock.
"Yu Shu!"
When the retreating n looked up and saw the group of people opposite them, their expressions turned exceedingly gloomy, for that group was none other than the Elders of the Jade Pot Sect, led by Yu Shu himself.
Whether it was Sect Master Yu Shu or the Great Elder Lu Zhan, their strength surpassed that of Yan Chun and Yan Yong. And now with a nurical advantage, there was no way they would let these few escape.
The signal fireworks released by Yun Xiao earlier soared a hundred zhang high; no one in the Imperial City of Baiyue City could have missed it, let alone these mbers of the Jade Pot Sect who had been waiting for the signal.
They had originally thought Yun Xiao infiltrating the Imperial Palace would take at least a few days before news ca; unexpectedly, he had only been inside for half a day before sending off the signal fireworks, prompting Yu Shu and the others to hasten here without delay.
However, by the ti Yu Shu and his party arrived, the battle was nearing its end, and dealing with Spirit Vein Realm fighters like Yan Chun and Yan Yong did not require much effort.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When Sect Master Yu Shu, Great Elder Lu Zhan, and others decisively killed Yan Chun, Mo Li, and the remaining resistors, this great battle finally ca to an end.
Rivers of blood flowed before the grand hall, and corpses piled into mountains; the bodies of a thousand Xuantie Army soldiers testified to the brutality of the battle.
And those strong practitioners from the Jade Pot Sect who dealt with Yan Chun and others, as well as Second Prince Xuan Jing leading the Jingyu Army in cleaning up the aftermath, now turned their gazes to a youth walking out of the grand hall doors.
"Yun Xiao..."
Seeing this youth for the first ti, everyone’s hearts were filled with mixed feelings, but most of all, they were impressed, as if there was nothing this youth nad Yun Xiao could not do on this Continent.
Especially in the hearts of Yu Shu and Lu Zhan, there was imnse gratitude, for without Yun Xiao, the Jade Pot Sect would not be able to breathe so freely, and perhaps would have been dood in that initial calamity that almost brought their downfall.
Today’s Yun Xiao, not only had he eradicated the three major families of the Imperial City but also purified the Royal Family of its foulness, for Yu Shu and the others knew well that the scheming against the Jade Pot Sect was but the doing of Empress Dowager Nie Yi and Xuan Jiuding.
"Yun Xiao, how is my imperial father?"
Although Xuan Jing already had so guesses, he still quickly approached the hall door and asked, without waiting for Yun Xiao’s reply, he sensed a familiar and imnse aura.
Boom!
Xuan Jing had barely finished speaking when a terrifying aura suddenly surged forth from within the grand hall. This aura was even stronger than Yu Shu’s, clearly having reached the Earth Rank Third Realm.
"Haha, Yun Xiao, great favors are beyond thanks; from now on, your status in the Xuanyue Empire is the sa as Haoran!"
This aura naturally belonged to Xuan Haoran. After recovering for this period, the Rejuvenation Pill’s effects exploded and finally restored him to his peak state. His laughter made everyone at the scene sigh with emotion.
From Xuan Haoran’s hearty laughter, everyone could hear his sincere gratitude, and he already regarded Yun Xiao, a re teenager around sixteen or seventeen years old, as an equal peer.
Xuan Haoran was a wise monarch; he knew that if the Xuanyue Imperial Family was to be restored from chaos this ti, Yun Xiao should be credited with the chief rit, effectively saving the Xuanyue Empire from a crisis.
For Xuan Haoran, who always regarded the Xuanyue Empire as his lifelong belief, his gratitude at this mont was too profound for words, and he even secretly made a decision.
"From today onward, I pass the throne to the Second Prince Xuan Jing, declare the Jade Pot Sect as the Nation-Guarding Sect, henceforth supporting each other, inseparable!"
The loud voice from Xuan Haoran echoed, taking everyone on the scene by surprise, soon followed by cheers from the nurous Jingyu Army soldiers because they were truly the direct followers of Second Prince Xuan Jing.
