With a plop, the lifeless body of the Nineteenth Prince was pushed directly into the well by the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince straightened up, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his brother's blood in his hand, then looked at Xie Yuan and Situ Qin.
These two people worked together and easily killed a grandmaster... They were only in the Qi and Blood transformation stage.
Although the enemy has been seriously injured, the ordinary Qi-blood transformation state may not even be able to break through the Grandmaster's body-protecting energy. Even if the two of them are not ordinary people, they can be killed with one blow, which is really something he did not expect at all.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the long mark plowed by the golden-armored guard and his broken body. His eyes were a little solemn, but he covered them up in an instant.
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin stood side by side, frowning slightly at the sight of corpses lying on the ground in front of them.
Although he knew that the battle for the throne was a life-or-death struggle, and there was no family affection in the royal family, seeing it with his own eyes, Xie Yuan still lamented that the brothers were very straightforward towards each other.
He glanced at the cold palace courtyard, and there were only three of them standing. The nineteenth prince and his guards, who had been so aggressive just now, all fell silent, and their blood flowed like rivers.
Situ Qin's expression was more indifferent. When she was still young, she had already deeply understood what the so-called imperial power was all about.
The fourteenth prince bowed his hands to the two of them:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you very much for your help, otherwise I would have been seriously defeated."
"It doesn't matter."
Xie Yuan shook his head. Now that they were safe for the time being, it did not mean that everything would be fine.
The prince controls the entire imperial city. Even if Xie Yuan wants to get out, he has to make a living.
Situ Qin looked at the fourteenth prince and asked:
"Your Highness, what are your plans now?"
Now the Fourteenth Prince has become a polished prince, and there is not even a single guard around him, only Xie Yuan and the two of them.
Xie Yuan is still not sure whether he wants to get involved in this battle for the throne. His first priority is to ensure the safety of himself and Situ Qin, and everything else is incidental.
The fourteenth prince smiled with a blood-stained face:
"Do your best and obey fate. The rest is naturally for you two to follow me, protect me, and listen to the news."
What on earth does he have behind him? Very confident.
Xie Yuan frowned, a little confused.
However, seeing that the Fourteenth Prince seemed determined that the two of them would follow him, his bossy look made him look a little disapproving.
When the Fourteenth Prince saw this, he immediately restrained his somewhat proud and excited look and said politely:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. If my prediction is correct, the overall situation has been decided. As long as you two send me one last journey, I will not dare or forget your contribution to the dragon. All previous promises will be fulfilled."
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin looked at each other, communicated in their eyes for a moment, and then said:
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"Please escort me back to the palace while inquiring about the news."
Return to the palace?
Xie Yuan was a little surprised.
The palace he was talking about was naturally his own. It's just that the place must have been captured by the prince now. He just escaped and is about to fall into a trap again?
Thinking that the Fourteenth Prince had always said that the Crown Prince had nothing to worry about, Xie Yuan couldn't help but be curious.
The palace of the fourteenth prince.
All the guards belonging to him had been killed, and no one of the prince was left alive.
All the maids and eunuchs in the palace were also dead. The imperial army was ordered not to see any living creatures, and even the rare birds and animals raised in the palace were killed.
Rivers of blood flowed.
The Imperial Guards took over the entire palace. Every pillar, corner, and room was guarded by Imperial Guards. The entrance to the secret passage in the dormitory was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Experts were the first to chase it.
The prince walked into the dormitory surrounded by layers of guards. He looked at the entrance of the cave, his majestic face moved, and his eyes were a little complicated.
"It turns out that in my father's heart, I have never been the crown prince."
He had vaguely guessed that the imperial city had a huge secret passage system, but the old emperor never told him.
Since the emperor didn't say anything, it was his duty as a minister, so he neither asked nor checked.
But when he saw the fourteenth prince's secret passage with his own eyes, the prince still felt a little resentful in his heart.
However, he quickly suppressed his emotions. This secret passage could only be the final escape exit for the Fourteenth Prince.
Now his situation is over, his entire team has been wiped out, and even the two grandmaster leaders have been executed. Even if he really ran away with the imperial edict, as long as the prince was given two more days to gather all the people on the fence, he would have the final say whether the imperial edict was true or false. After that, there will be no place for the fourteenth prince in this world.
The overall situation has been decided.
The prince looked at the fourteenth prince's palace. It was his first time here. Although it was in a mess, he could still see the ingenuity and elegance.
In particular, there is a rockery bonsai placed neatly in the corner, with waterfalls flowing and mist filling it, which is quite elegant. In this chaos, this bonsai is particularly unique.
The prince's heart moved and he asked:
"What about the one in the fourteenth hand that holds the country?"
A bloody personal guard next to him replied:
"Going back to Your Highness, I found the artifact beside the main hall, as well as several geniuses from various families who were participating in the Qianlong Banquet. They had already surrounded them."
When the prince heard this, his expression relaxed and he showed joy:
"I don't even have time to take this precious thing away with me. Haha, Father, even if you prefer him, the thing will eventually come back to me."
He ordered people to chase him along the tunnel, then walked quickly back to the main hall, where he found the huge bonsai shrouded in mist in the corner, as well as Cui Lei, Wang Qiwen and others who were listless next to them.
The prince smiled at several people:
"There is some chaos in the palace, and all the Qianlong Tianjiao are frightened. But it doesn't matter, the matter has been resolved, don't panic, just stay in the palace for a few days, and I will send a few Tianjiao out."
< br>
Cui Lei and Wang Qiwen frowned, but the grandmasters and countless Imperial Guards next to them were watching eagerly. They were already in extremely poor condition, so they just nodded silently.
A group of people were about to leave while half-surrounded and half-escorted by the Forbidden Army. The clouds and mist surrounding the country suddenly began to spread outwards again, and soon the area nearby became a bit misty.
The grandmaster waiting nearby frowned. It was clear that no one was inside, so why was there another change?
The two masters gathered around the prince at the same time, looking suspiciously at the fluctuations in the mountains and rivers in their palms, and at the diffuse white mist.
Suddenly there were shadows flickering in the fog.
The eyes of the two grandmasters widened. One of them immediately stepped forward to greet him, while the other led the prince back.
However, the grandmaster grabbed the prince's arm and found that his body was heavy and his arms were weak, as if he was too scared to walk. He immediately turned his head and called:
"Your Highness, follow your subordinates and leave quickly... Your Highness?!"
He looked over and found that the prince was lowering his head, looking at the dull dagger tip protruding from his chest with disbelief, despair, and unwillingness, making a whooshing sound in his mouth, and blood foam overflowing.
The yellow robe, jade pendant, and other top treasures on the prince's body emitted all kinds of brilliance, but they shattered one by one like bubbles, and were all destroyed by this sword.
In just one moment and with one strike of his sword, this assassin broke through all the protection of the crown prince.
The dagger was retracted, revealing a terrifyingly large hole. The prince's chest was shattered and his body fell limply.
The grandmaster guard's eyes were focused, and he looked at a dim shadow standing behind the prince. He seemed to be a middle-aged man, with a vague face.
"Traitor! How dare you!"
The guard commander's eyes were splitting as he rushed forward to capture the assassin. However, the assassin's movement was like a ghost, floating around the leader as if weightless.
The commander was unable to touch the figure so close to him.
The other grandmaster turned around in the white mist in one breath, and found that he was in vain. When he turned around and saw that something had changed here, he was shocked and immediately surrounded him with his colleagues.
However, even if two grandmasters double-teamed him, the shadow showed no signs of sluggishness. It easily bypassed the two men and rushed directly out of the palace gate.
Outside the palace, there were two grandmaster subordinates of the prince. One of them was blocking a man and a woman, while the other was seriously injured and was recovering from his injuries.
This couple was naturally Li Tai and Aunt Hong. After they were sure that Situ Qin had left, they defended the Fourteenth Prince for a moment and then started to fight. After that, the two masters of the Fourteenth Prince were unable to fight against the four hands with their fists, and they were defeated one after another. .
However, the two wanted to leave, but the commander of the forbidden army refused to let them leave at will.
They were about to break in, but their hearts moved, but they stayed aside and waited.
Seeing that something happened inside, the four grandmasters outside looked at the same time and saw a new grandmaster coming out, and the prince's two personal guards actually chased him.
The commander of the Forbidden Army was suddenly shocked and asked:
"Where is Your Highness?"
"Your Highness has..."
The personal guard commander's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and chased after the shadow.
The shadow could obviously leave in one go, but it was just spinning around with them in the courtyard, as if they were playing.
When the commander of the Forbidden Army heard what his colleagues said, he suddenly felt like he was dead, and he hurriedly chased the assassin with the two of them.
Li Tai and Aunt Hong watched from the sidelines and saw that the assassin's movement skills were superb, and he could easily maneuver among three people, both with solemn eyes.
Aunt Hong looked at it for a while, then she recognized the person and said in surprise:
"Master Qiufeng? Why is he here!"
Li Tai looked serious and said slowly:
"It seems that the Fourteenth Prince has won. He or the late Emperor may have had a deal with the Yao family."
The three princes and masters were all uneasy. After hearing the shouting and chaos, they didn't know what to do next.
They could only bite the bullet and capture the assassin first, and then talk about other things. However, even though they thought so, they found that the three of them were outflanking one person, but they did nothing to stop him.
"Stop it quickly!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded outside the palace.
Qiufeng Louzhu flashed and appeared next to the voice outside the palace.
The owner of the voice revealed his whereabouts.
He was about thirty years old, wearing a Chinese robe, with a majestic face, his head slightly raised, and his hands behind his back. Although the stains on his face and blood marks on his body were shocking, they did not detract from his temperament. He stood there with an expression on his face that seemed to be looking down upon the world.
The commander of the imperial army and the two commanders of the guards stopped at the same time, looking at the fourteenth prince who had a slightly different aura, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with it.
The Fourteenth Prince slowly took out a roll of bright yellow silk paper from his chest, spread it out, and asked solemnly:
"You are all soldiers of the Forbidden Army, how do you know the late emperor's edict?"
The Imperial Guards all looked at each other, somewhat silent. Most of them follow orders, but they also know what they are doing. The prince is dead and the fourteenth prince has a legacy. It is difficult for them to have other thoughts.
The three grandmasters gritted their teeth. The prince was dead, and they all knew that the end was over. However, they tried to kill the fourteenth prince, and even if they surrendered, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.
Therefore, the three of them did not speak for a long time, and the Imperial Army behind them also fell silent. The situation was somewhat stalemate for a while.
When the Fourteenth Prince saw this, his eyes widened. Even though Qiu Feng Louzhu was the only one beside him, he still shouted angrily:
"Are you plotting rebellion? Those who plot rebellion will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, shouts of killing suddenly rang out in the dormitory, as if reinforcements had suddenly appeared.
The Imperial Army was suddenly in chaos, and they heard another shout from the Fourteenth Prince:
"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will let bygones be bygones!"
Upon hearing this, many Imperial Guards dropped their weapons uneasily, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard one after another.
The three commanders were in a dilemma. The commander of the imperial army turned his eyes, turned the tip of his sword sharply, and stabbed one of the guard commanders next to him.
The man didn't expect that his colleague who was in the same camp just now would draw his sword at him. He was shocked and frightened. He managed to resist in a hurry, but was still stabbed in the stomach and was seriously injured.
Within a few moves, the guard commander who was seriously injured by the sneak attack died with his eyes open. The other guard commander's face turned red and white, and he never made a move. At this moment, seeing the commander of the forbidden army looking at him, he simply surrendered:
"Your Highness, I am willing to surrender!"
"Okay!"
The fourteenth prince showed a relaxed smile and looked at the commander of the imperial army.
If the three grandmasters with so many forbidden troops do not surrender, I am afraid there will be trouble later. Now that it is solved easily, it means that everything is really over.
The commander of the imperial army looked at the fourteenth prince, cupped his fists and said:
"The last general, following the order of the late emperor, is lurking in the rebel prince's camp, just waiting for his highness to betray him!"
The fourteenth prince looked at him, his eyes flickered, and he smiled:
"General Wang, thank you for your hard work. I will take note of this contribution."
There are countless opportunities to betray the enemy, but it is better to betray the enemy only when the overall situation is decided.
The late emperor has already gone. If he says this, the Fourteenth Prince will not expose it.
it's over.
Beside Li Tai and Aunt Hong, two figures slowly emerged, causing the two grandmasters to look askance.
"If I hadn't noticed Miss's location, I wouldn't have been able to break through your secret technique. There's been another improvement."
Aunt Hong's voice was soft and her eyes were a little surprised.
Xie Yuan met with the two grand masters, and then looked at the Fourteenth Prince, or at the figure beside him who was staring at him, and narrowed his eyes.
It turned out that this prince had brought this great god into the palace, no, into the country in his palm.
If it were just a search in the palace and on the third and third floors of the Forbidden Army, not even a fly would be found.
Only this artifact can hide people and come and go at will, creating an opportunity for the world's best assassin and the prince to get close.
However, doesn’t this mean that he once passed by the owner of Qiu Feng in the world in the palm of his hand?
That feeling of being stared at, turned out not only to come from Yunxing, but also from him...
Xie Yuan was a little scared.
If he hadn't had a big business to deal with, he would have been on the verge of death twice in this world.
Seeing the murderous eyes of Qiufeng Host staring at him, Xie Yuan retreated slightly and protected Li Tai in front of him.
A group of elite soldiers from the palace escorted the surrendered Imperial Guards out, together with the Imperial Guards who were under the command of the Fourteenth Prince. The situation was completely controlled by the Fourteenth Prince.
He issued orders repeatedly, and many people rushed around the palace to take over the imperial city.
Then, surrounded by a large group of soldiers, the Lord of Qiufeng Tower, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and the former prince's escort commander, the Fourteenth Prince turned to Xie Yuan and the others.
The atmosphere is a little subtle again.
Li Tai faced the Forbidden Army and several Grandmasters. Feeling their gazes, his expression was cold, he snorted, took a step forward, and blocked all the others behind him.
Although the scene was huge, the flying general who had experienced the war of annihilation in the Western Region was not afraid. Even among the hundreds of thousands of troops, he came and went like the wind.
But he was also very afraid of the middle-aged man who exuded a dangerous aura.
Yao Yuyi, the master of Qiu Feng Tower, is the best assassin in the world. His physical skills are no less than his, and his skills are no weaker than his.
If there is a chaotic fight, Li Tai alone will be a little difficult to deal with, and he may not be able to use his skills to take away Situ Qin and Xie Yuan.
Aunt Hong’s voice sounded softly:
"Leave Master Qiufeng to me, and when the time comes, you can take Miss and Xiao Xie out and fight."
Li Tai looked solemn and nodded slowly.
Situ Qin frowned:
"Aunt Hong..."
Aunt Hong shook her head and interrupted:
"Miss, there is no other way. In the palace, there are murders at every step, so you have to be careful."
Situ Qin gritted his teeth, glanced at the powerful men on the opposite side, and whispered:
"Aunt Hong, give me the piano. I can stop the Grandmaster. Below the Grandmaster, the Imperial Army is not a concern to me."
The implication of her words was that she wanted to stop all the Imperial Guards one by one.
Neither Li Tai nor Aunt Hong questioned it, but Aunt Hong just shook her head slightly:
"The fourteenth prince killed the prince and has actually taken control of the entire imperial city. The enemies will only kill more and more. Besides, if we want to fight, there are three other people besides Qiufeng Louzhu. You, Taibo, go fight Yao Yuyi. I will stop you. The Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army, there are two more people and the Infinite Forbidden Army, you..."
"He and I are one each."
Situ Qin looked at Xie Yuan with a hint of apology in his eyes, as if he was sorry for dragging Xie Yuan down. However, as long as there is a chance, she does not want to leave behind Aunt Hong, who has grown up with her.
Xie Yuan tilted his head away, smiled, and squeezed Situ Qin's little hand to express that he didn't care.
Situ Qin's expression was gentle, but Aunt Hong frowned slightly:
"That's a grandmaster, not a carrot and a cabbage. Why do you two little guys just split up?"
That's all. Situ Qin looked at Xie Yuan's calm expression with suspicious eyes. It was as if this guy didn't take him seriously at all.
"The grandmaster in the palace was beheaded just now, but he only had one life."
Xie Yuan's eyes swept back and forth in front of those masters:
"Can Uncle Tai and Aunt Hong stop Qiufeng Louzhu and the commander-in-chief so that they can never be distracted?"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army is also a powerful master on the Flying Dragon Ranking. He is not an ordinary person and is more troublesome than others.
Hearing what Xie Yuan said, Li Tai and Aunt Hong looked at each other, both a little shocked. Only two little guys killed the Grandmaster?
They didn't have time to ask in detail, they just hesitated and said:
"One hour and three moments, no problem. But what are you going to do?"
"That'll be easy."
Xie Yuan showed a determined expression, pointed at the fourteenth prince among the numerous imperial troops, and said with a smile:
"I will capture this person later, and we can just stride out."
Xie Yuan and the others did not hide this discussion from the people opposite them after they discussed it like dividing dishes.
To an ordinary person, this would sound like stubborn resistance, which would only make people laugh. However, when they nodded their heads, several defeated generals, especially one who was seriously injured, felt inexplicably confused. But when he heard Xie Yuan's undisguised last words, the commander of the Imperial Army showed an angry face, took a step forward, and shouted as if he needed to express himself:
"Traitor! If you speak arrogant words, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! You should be executed!"
The fourteenth prince's face turned gloomy, and he looked at Xie Yuan with deep eyes.
He didn't speak.
He watched helplessly as Xie Yuan beheaded the seriously injured grandmaster with one strike of his axe. The lethality was completely unlike that of a warrior in the Third Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.
And all the way back from the cold palace to the palace, Xie Yuan even showed a strange secret method of concealment. Under his guidance, he shuttled all the way without attracting anyone's attention, just like the top assassin.
Although Xie Yuan only demonstrated part of the Heavenly Hidden Technique, the Fourteenth Prince's eyesight revealed that it was an extremely extraordinary secret technique.
Even though he didn't know how Xie Yuan captured him among the forbidden troops on the third floor and the third floor outside, he would never dare to look down on Xie Yuan.
The fourteenth prince looked back and forth at Xie Yuan and the others with his deep eyes. He thought of lightning in his mind and knew that he would not be able to keep them alive today, so he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
He didn't have a reason to silence like the prince, but after seeing Xie Yuan's talent and performance, he inherited the old emperor's legacy and didn't want to let go of the Qianlong of the Xie family in Chen County.
However, the Fourteenth Prince remained calm and just shouted:
"General Wang, don't make mistakes!"
The commander of the imperial army was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, but he still retreated.
The fourteenth prince smiled:
"Young Master Xie, Sister Qin, why do you have this misunderstanding? If you hadn't helped me today, I'm afraid the traitors would have usurped the imperial edict and disobeyed the emperor's orders. I have said that this is the merit of following the dragon. It's all your credit, I will keep this in mind and will be rewarded ”
As he spoke, he waved slightly, and the Forbidden Army, which was like a city wall, separated into a narrow passage.
Xie Yuan looked at the fourteenth prince and cupped his hands:
"Then thank you Your Majesty."
Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince actually wanted to let them go, Li Tai and Aunt Hong couldn't help but glance at Xie Yuan thoughtfully, and then walked out while protecting the two of them one after another.
The Qiufeng Tower Master moved and whispered something in the ear of the Fourteenth Prince, but the Fourteenth Prince just shook his head and said softly:
"No matter how important he is, he is not as important as my king's safety."
"Your Majesty's safety, I guarantee with my head that nothing will happen."
The erratic voice of Qiufeng Louzhu sounded, and the Fourteenth Prince just didn't comment and watched Xie Yuan and the others leave.
Then he smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, just let him go. It will be much easier to touch the Xie family again in the future."
Qiufeng Louzhu was unwilling to give in, but after hearing what he said, he slowly calmed down.
After being "escorted" by several imperial guards all the way out of the palace, Xie Yuan walked out of the Meridian Gate and watched the heavy palace door slam shut behind him again. He couldn't help but feel as if it was the next day.
A few days ago, when I entered this palace, I thought it was just an ordinary banquet. Unexpectedly, when I came out of the palm of my hand, everything changed.
The emperor dies, the saint reappears, the dragon fights, and the prince seizes the throne.
Each of them was a big event that could shock the world, and they all came together to explode.
Speaking of which, I don't even know where Yun Xing went. Maybe she foresaw the trouble ahead and used the Zao Sect's unique method to escape in advance. I wonder if the rest of the Hidden Dragon Talents have come out? Xie Yuan was unable to care.
Seeing that soldiers were under martial law everywhere in the capital, and buildings could be seen collapsing in the distance, Xie Yuan sighed, just the aftermath caused such damage, and he must have stopped.
The influence of the great master is truly inestimable.
"The new emperor's methods are indeed quite similar to those of the previous emperor."
Li Tai suddenly whispered.
Situ Qin nodded slightly:
"He should still have some means that he hasn't used yet."
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Anything else? Well..."
He thought thoughtfully and felt that the fourteenth prince had a gambling habit. If it hadn't been for the two of them today, wouldn't he have been tricked by the Nineteenth Prince?
Situ Qin said slowly:
"Looking at the elite soldiers who came out from behind to determine the world, there should be other 'kingdoms in the palm of his hand' in his palace. Since there is a second one, I think he must have a third or even a fourth, perhaps hidden in On the body.”
Xie Yuan thought about the elites who suddenly appeared later, and he understood clearly in his heart.
There is no such thing as the art of scattering beans and forming an army. There is no doubt that this comes from holding the country in the palm of your hand. If the Fourteenth Prince wasn't a reckless man, he would have had such a trump card.
For such a major matter involving his family, his life, and the ownership of the dynasty, he definitely still has room for it. However, perhaps there are indeed no more master-level experts, and it is indeed an accident that his personal guard was attacked and died. No wonder he hated his brother, the Nineteenth Prince, so much in the end.
The prince did not lose unjustly. The emperor handed over all such treasures and the secretly conquered Yao family to the fourteenth prince. Even though he had been the crown prince for forty years, he could not match the emperor's wishes.
But no matter how things changed in the palace, the dust has settled now, and there is only some finishing work. Next, the fourteenth prince was busy enthroning the throne and gathering his ministers, so he probably had no time to take care of Xie Yuan for the time being. He is not as eager as the prince to kill everyone, so he will have to deal with the Xie family in the future.
Finally safe, Xie Yuan and Situ Qin stood holding hands and looking at each other silently. Seeing Aunt Hong smile, Li Tai picked Fang's head and said:
"Xie Yuan, you'd better go back to Xie's house as soon as possible."
The two affectionate young people were interrupted, and Xie Yuan said in surprise:
"Tabo, what do you mean by this?"
Li Tai said in a deep voice:
"Although I didn't dare to take a closer look at the previous battle, it seems that the head of the Xie family suffered some losses. He was sent back later. It doesn't look like the condition is very good..."
"What?"
Xie Yuan was startled and suddenly showed an anxious look:
"How's Uncle Second Uncle doing?"
"I don't know either, so I advise you to go back and take a look."
Li Tai shook his head.
If something happened to Xie Yi, I'm afraid he would still be applauded from his standpoint. However, for Xie Yuan's sake, he still warned him.
Xie Yuan was a little anxious, nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Situ Qin:
"Miss Qin, I will..."
"Go back quickly."
Situ Qin showed an understanding look, and then wondered:
"I should accompany you at this time, but..."
She was a little regretful. The position of the two families made it impossible for her to accompany Xie Yuan openly.
Xie Yuan shook his head and held Situ Qin's hand firmly:
"In the future, I will definitely take you to the door in a dignified manner."
What he said made Situ Qin's face blush, and she was extremely charming, showing a shy but happy smile, bright and moving:
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Xie Yuan and Situ Qin waved goodbye, then said goodbye to Li Tai and Aunt Hong, then turned around and rushed to the Xie Family Courtyard like the wind.
Naturally, few of the soldiers under martial law could spot Xie Yuan along the way. Occasionally, the masters noticed that Xie Yuan had disappeared as soon as they had the idea of stopping him. Even the masters were the same. They couldn't help but be very surprised and hurriedly sounded the alarm, causing Xiao Xiao riot.
When he was approaching the other courtyard, Xie Yuan saw the door of the magnificent mansion closed from a distance. He couldn't help but quicken his pace again, rushed over and knocked on the door.
The concierge cautiously opened a small slit, saw it was Xie Yuan, and quickly put him in.
"Master Yuan, you are finally back!"
The concierge said hurriedly. Xie Yuan looked over. Needless to say, the Xie family's residence was also on alert during this extraordinary period, but people looked a little gloomy.
Soon an elder came over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Yuan:
"Xie Yuan, it's good that you're back. I haven't heard any news from the palace these days. My family has been sending people to inquire, but unfortunately to no avail. It's okay, okay..."
Xie Yuan nodded and asked hurriedly:
"Uncle Qitang, how is the master of the family?"
Uncle Qitang's face changed slightly, and he became a little calm:
"It's not very good...go and have a look."
Xie Yuan hurriedly followed him to the backyard. When he arrived at the master's house, he found that it was heavily guarded. At a glance, there were nearly ten Xie family masters here, standing or sitting in the courtyard, all of them frowning and looking sad.
An ominous premonition filled Xie Yuan's heart. Even though the masters around him were very surprised to see him leaving the palace unscathed, he just nodded perfunctorily, walked to the door of the house, and pushed it open gently.
"Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to come in and disturb you!"
Xie Lingyun's scream rang out, startling Xie Yuan.
Xie Lingyun's hair was disheveled and she turned around suddenly. Her face was pale and tired, and her eyes were bloodshot and a little fierce.
But when she saw Xie Yuan coming in, she was startled for a moment, and her expression instantly changed to surprise, and then to extremely sad. Her whole body seemed to be deflated, and her eyes were filled with mist.
She cried hoarsely:
"Brother, why did you come back?"
Xie Yuan rushed forward, hugged Xie Lingyun, and patted her back gently:
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back...where's my second uncle?"
There was a strong medicinal smell in the room, and the light was a little dim.
Xie Yuan inexplicably recalled the hospital with the smell of disinfectant and pale fluorescent lights in his distant past life.
Xie Lingyun looked miserable and turned around the screen with Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan saw Xie Yi lying quietly on the cave with no blood on his face.
His breath was weak and he was haggard.
Looking at his weak appearance, Xie Yuan was a little unbelievable. He could not associate him with the sometimes chic and humorous, sometimes dignified head of the Xie family. He could not believe that this man broke into the Yao Mansion in Jinling alone and held the sky in his hand. A Jian's Yao Yuzhi and Qiufeng Louzhu were the first in the flying dragon list who easily took him away.
"How could this be?"
Xie Yuan said with some trembling.
Xie Lingyun bit her lip:
"It was the Cui family who brought my father back. They said, they said it was the witch who seriously injured him..."
"How much does it weigh?"
Xie Yuan asked quickly.
Although looking at Xie Yi's appearance, Xie Yuan, as a warrior, had his own judgment, but he felt that his judgment should be wrong. After all, he was not very clear about the master's affairs.
Xie Lingyun's face was pale and she was crying:
"They didn't say..."
Xie Yuan couldn't help but sigh heavily. There were so many masters outside the door. If there was still a way, they would have used it long ago.
"Brother, will my father never wake up again?"
Xie Lingyun asked with pear blossoms in her eyes.
Xie Yuan quickly patted Xie Lingyun on the back:
"No, my second uncle has his own destiny..."
Xie Yuan could only comfort him like this, but at this time all his words seemed a little pale, like the fluorescent lamp in the hospital ward.
The two of them were silent and could only look at Xie Yi quietly, looking at his angry appearance.
Suddenly, Xie Yi coughed twice violently, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.
Xie Lingyun was shocked and rushed to help him, only to see Xie Yi open his eyes slightly!
Xie Lingyun was overjoyed, wiped away Xie Yi's blood, and asked quickly:
"Dad, Dad! Can you hear me? I am Lingyun'er! Lingyun'er!"
Xie Yi looked at the daughter in front of him with silent eyes, seeming to have regained some of his luster, and nodded slightly:
"Ling Yun'er, cough, dad is fine."
The more he spoke, the clearer his voice became, and his spirit became visibly better.
However, Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun's moods sank at the same time, as if they were about to fall into the bottom.
Xie Lingyun forced a smile and said:
"Dad, just hope you're okay. Brother, he came back from the palace unscathed."
Xie Yi looked at Xie Yuan, his eyes brightened and he smiled:
"I knew it wouldn't be a problem for you."
Xie Yuan bent over the bed, nodded and said:
"Second uncle, don't worry, I'm fine, you can rest well..."
"Why are you still recuperating? I understand my situation myself. This kind of injury cannot be cured even by the arrival of Daluo Immortal. I am just waiting for you to come back."
Xie Yi smiled freely. Although he was in good spirits, his complexion was already as golden as paper.
Xie Lingyun cried out again and threw herself on Xie Yi:
"Dad, don't say that..."
Xie Yi stroked Xie Lingyun's head with very sad eyes:
"Silly girl, everyone dies, even the Grand Master. From now on when I am no longer here, you must be sensible, practice martial arts well, and honor your mother well."
Xie Lingyun just kept shaking her head and sobbing.
Xie Yi sighed, looked at Xie Yuan, and said in a deep voice:
"Xie Yuan, we don't have much time. I have a few words to tell you."
"Second uncle...please tell me."
Xie Yuan felt a little sour. Needless to say, Xie Yi was kind to him. He was his unique relative and elder in the world. He had just felt family affection here not long ago, but he didn't expect to experience the separation between heaven and man again.
Xie Yi looked at him and sighed:
"I broke through the Grand Master at the last moment, confirming my previous speculation. Remember, don't break through the Grand Master if you are not completely sure in the future."
"Absolutely sure?"
Xie Yuan frowned and asked with some confusion:
"What does it mean to be absolutely sure? Shouldn't a breakthrough have to be completely sure? Second uncle, I don't quite understand."
Xie Yi shook his head:
"Just remember. Talking too much now will be bad for you. When the time comes, you should understand."
Xie Yuan could only write it down silently and nodded.
Xie Yi continued:
"Second, Xie Yuan, from now on you will have to bear the burden of the Xie family."
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment and said quickly:
"Second uncle, my Xie family's master is like a cloud. With my little cultivation, I'm afraid I can't handle such an important task..."
Xie Yi reluctantly waved his hand and interrupted him, his face already a little gloomy:
"Listen to me, Xie Yuan, only you can bear this responsibility.
"I, the Xie family, have killed two Grand Masters in succession. It is already an extremely critical moment. Extraordinary things are often done. Now the family must have a genius who can truly stabilize the morale of the army in order to intimidate the heroes and subdue Xiaoxiao.
"Although there are many grandmasters in the family, you and Lingyun'er are the only ones who can securely hold the title of great master. Lingyun'er is a girl, and her age and mental abilities are not as good as yours. Who else would you give up this heavy responsibility? This is for the sake of the family. I wouldn't trust anyone else to take this responsibility.
"After you assume the position of the head of the family, you should shrink your power and give in what should be given. Even if there is only one Chenjun left, it doesn't matter. Don't rush it. Everything should be focused on improving your own cultivation. The backbone of the family is still there. When it can support you to the point of overpowering the rest..."
He still had a lot to explain, but after saying so much in one breath, he felt a little out of breath and coughed twice.
Xie Yi sighed, knowing that there was not much time, so he pressed down everything else and tremblingly tried to take off the ring on his hand.
The top master who used to be so majestic and majestic now has his hands trembling, but he has been unable to take out the ring finger several times in a row, like a dying old man.
Xie Yuan looked away and couldn't look any further. He only heard Xie Yi smile:
"I can't bear to part with this ring...Here, Xie Yuan, here you go, this is a treasure."
Xie Yuan hesitated, but saw Xie Yi's eyes widened:
"At such a moment, how can I take on a big responsibility without hesitation! Do you want me to be unable to rest in peace?"
Xie Yuan pursed his lips tightly and had no choice but to stretch out his hand.
Xie Yi put the white and reddish blood jade finger on Xie Yuan's left thumb with difficulty. Then Xie Yi took a deep breath and suddenly let out a loud shout, which was heard outside the room
"Xie Yuan, the new head of the Xie family in Chen County, listens to the order. From now on, when you lead the family, you should put the family first, don't be selfish, don't...ahem.
"Forget it, no more nonsense."
Xie Yi chuckled again, his voice gradually getting lower:
"Xie Yuan, there is something else... I want to tell you.
"When you become a grandmaster, stabilize the family, and secure your position, you can go to...the ancestral hall, where there are things I left for you.
"Also, both of King Cui's family, you must be careful...especially, especially..."
When Xie Yi said this, his voice gradually turned low and was inaudible.
Xie Yuan was about to get closer to listen, but he saw Xie Yi dropped his head and became silent.
"Dad!"
Xie Lingyun's hoarse cry penetrated the sky.
The grandmasters outside the door rushed in with cheers. All the grandmasters glanced at the bed, all with sad expressions on their faces. But when they saw the ring on Xie Yuan's hand, they were each surprised.
Xie Yuan was in a sad mood, clenching his fists tightly and feeling a little confused for a moment.
However, he felt the heavy ring on his left hand, as if he felt the burden that Xie Yi had personally placed on his shoulders, and his eyes became firm.
When there was a cry of sorrow, a golden light containing a deep sense of compassion entered the room, and then a clear voice sounded:
"It seems that the young monk is late? Isn't it possible? Is he late?" (End of Chapter)
