Chapter 1216 Cedar
Chapter 1216 Cedar
To ensure the plan's success, Xue Kui also instructed Xue Leng to rally the royal family's opportunists and get them to also deal with Xue Lingxun.
Upon hearing that they were to deal with Xue Lingxun and that they could relinquish 80% of the benefits from Xue Lingxun's residence, the royal family members who had grievances against Xue Lingxun agreed almost without hesitation.
The royal family of Douling has long suffered from the bitterness of Xue Lingxun.
A woman who was considered a disgrace to the Douling royal family was able to stand on their heads for so long.
This infuriated those old fogies for years.
However, they could not ascertain the true strength of Xue Lingxun, and with many spies dying, they had no choice but to give up.
But things are different now.
With Princes Xue Kui and Xue Leng personally leading the charge, even if they ultimately fail, Xue Lingxun will be severely weakened and unable to do anything to them.
Moreover, the elders of the royal family were very satisfied that Xue Kui was able to stand up.
How could the position of the Douling Emperor be controlled by a woman?
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Xue Kui summoned all the bodyguards and elite guards in his mansion.
Fortunately, although Xue Lingxun has always suppressed the Douling royal family and controlled the Douling Emperor, she has no time to extend her influence too far.
This allowed him to build a team of nearly eight thousand Soul Masters over the years.
With the help of the royal elders for many years, he slowly transferred four thousand people into various corners of Lingdou City. Now, taking advantage of the chaos, he has transferred another thousand people in.
Five thousand Soul Masters fought inside, while the remaining three thousand responded from outside.
In addition, there were a thousand assassins and five hundred soul masters hidden in Xue Leng's lair.
There were a total of 6,500 people, divided into large and small groups. Two thousand people created chaos at the main gate to attract attention, while the remaining four thousand five hundred people rushed in through the side gate with Xue Kui.
They headed straight for the palace.
"This day has finally come!" Xue Kui tore open his coat, revealing the soul-guided armor underneath.
Xue Kui held a soul-guided greatsword in his hand.
Upon receiving Xue Kui's signal flare, the assassins hidden throughout Lingdou City and the soul masters under Xue Kui's command began to gather, like tributaries flowing into the sea.
This strange phenomenon was discovered by the hunters who were in charge of reconnaissance.
"Reconnaissance report! A large number of unidentified, armed Soul Masters are heading towards the Imperial Palace!"
"Repeated! Requesting backup!"
"Second reconnaissance report: A large number of unidentified armed Soul Masters have also appeared!"
"Three-point report from the investigation."
He Caitou, who was in command, immediately issued a secret order to intercept and strike.
"This is absolutely a premeditated rebellion! It's orchestrated by the powerful royal family hiding behind the scenes!"
Xiao Xiao immediately switched the command panel to the map of the palace.
"According to the palace map, the Phoenix Gate, the side gate, and the main gate of the Great Spirit Gate are all targets!"
"Notify Nanxiao! Command is now handed over to the intelligence command post!"
He Caitou donned his armor and handed over command to Xiao Xiao.
"Caitou, be careful!" Xiao Xiao went up and hugged Caitou.
He Caitou's forehead touched Xiao Xiao's through his helmet.
"I love you, see you later."
After saying that, He Caitou stepped out of the base and transformed into a streak of light, rushing upwards.
Within the hunter corps, some hunters began to add equipment to themselves and change their combat identities.
"Titan Squad reporting!"
"The guns are ready."
"Command network connection established. This is Feng Xiao, your commander for this battle."
Inside the Douling Imperial Palace.
Ye Nanxiao took off his command headset, and then Xiao Ye No. 2 came out.
"Defend Phoenix Gate."
"Understood."
Xiao Ye No. 2 conjured two imperial swords and, with a few leaps, stepped into the sky.
At the Phoenix Gate, numerous sects and powerful families gathered.
"Mad dog! This backhand strike belongs to my Spirit Sword Sect! Don't you dare try to take it from me, you old dog!"
"Heh heh, with your third-rate swordsmanship?"
"Hmph, I don't care about anything else, the Great Spirit Treasury was promised to my Shield Armor Sect by the Prince! You dare to steal it! My Colossus Shield won't show any mercy!"
A middle-aged man wearing soul-guided armor suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Someone's coming!"
The people arguing immediately looked up.
When they saw that it was just Xiao Ye No. 2 alone, they all laughed.
Just one person? The soul power emanating from him is only at the Soul Douluo level?
They also wanted to stop so many of them?
It's just Contra, which organization doesn't have that?
Xiao Ye No. 2 swooped down, the Emperor Sword in his hand faintly glowing blue.
He crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"A mere trick!" An old man waved his hand, dispersing the dust, and fired a sharp arrow.
The arrow pierced through the dust, instantly revealing what lay within.
"when!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
Before the arrow could even touch Xiao Ye No. 2, it was blocked and torn to shreds by the surging sword intent.
"How is this possible! My Breaking Army Arrow! This is my seventh soul skill!"
"Attack together! There's only one person on the other side!"
Xiao Ye No. 2 slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Sealing the Soul and Severing Thoughts."
In an instant, two enormous sword lights flashed.
Xiao Ye No. 2 transformed into a blur, carrying unparalleled sword intent, and directly killed the crowd, like a meteorite crashing down.
Then, extreme cold surged into the sky.
……
"Your Majesty, the rebel army has already reached the Phoenix Gate and the Great Spirit Gate!"
"I understand. Proceed according to plan."
Behind the palace was a row of bungalows, where the palace eunuchs lived.
And the Great Emperor of Douling, Xuesong, is hiding in this place.
Eunuchs have always been regarded as the lowest class in the palace and despised by the court officials.
However, the courtiers never expected that the mighty Emperor Douling, Xuesong, would hide here instead of fleeing the palace as they had assumed.
The cedar tree silently watched the hourglass, watching each grain of sand fall.
He was gambling, gambling on the future of an imperial throne.
He knew perfectly well that the power he possessed was no match for Xue Lingxun's.
Without Xue Lingxun's support, he would find it difficult to deal with the other princes who were eyeing him covetously.
The latest novel is first published here!
So when he learned that a force had invaded Lingdou City, a bold plan suddenly came to his mind.
With the instigation of external forces, Xue Lingxun and the forces led by Xue Kui and Xue Leng were brought into a fight.
Only in this way can the power in their hands be depleted.
Only by doing so can you have a chance.
"Old Feng, the fate of our team rests on your shoulders."
Cedar looked at the old man beside him.
The old man, known as Elder Feng, suddenly possessed an aura that reached the level of a Title Douluo.
However, his soul power fluctuated wildly, and there were even signs that he was falling back to the level of a Soul Douluo.
Clearly, this is a Title Douluo who was forcibly elevated through drugs.
It is also Xuesong's strongest trump card as the Battle Spirit Emperor.
He doesn't possess the combat power of a Title Douluo.
Because of Xue Lingxun's strong pressure, they were denied the opportunity to cultivate a Title Douluo.
Moreover, when it comes to the Douling royal family, Xue Lingxun is the first person mentioned, while the royal family has no outstanding members.
This also means that even if a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level comes to join them, they will not choose the incompetent members of the royal family.
This Elder Feng was chosen from among his followers, and it took a huge price to force him to become a Title Douluo.
It was his last trump card.
It was precisely because of the reliance on drugs to enhance his abilities that many hidden dangers were left behind. Elder Feng had to constantly cultivate to suppress those hidden dangers and injuries, so as to maintain his realm at the Title Douluo level.
Cedar remained calm, quietly gazing at the hourglass.
A map of the palace was placed next to it.
Success or failure hinges on this one move.
He really liked the saying, "Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive."
Now is the time for him to "die" as the Great Emperor of Fighting Spirit.
He took the Imperial Guards with him, leaving the palace defenses virtually empty.
The current Douling Imperial Palace has lost all its defenses, and any small sect could easily break in.
The Qian Yuan Hall is the place Xue Lingxun values most. It houses the spirit tablets of the past Douling Emperors, and she will absolutely not stand idly by.
"Xue Kui and Xue Leng, you still have so much power. Even if you hold many trump cards, it's time to reveal them."
The cedar tree has gone a bit mad.
This was a grave act of filial impiety, but he risked everything for the throne.
The hourglass continued to drop sand.
The constantly eroded surface is like the heart of a cedar tree.
Just as Xuesong had planned, Xuekui and Xueleng, leading their army and with the help of various sects, arrived directly at the side gate.
Looking at the still tall and magnificent imperial gate, Xue Kui's eyes couldn't help but burn with intense fervor.
Once he becomes the Great Emperor of Fighting Spirits, this magnificent imperial gate will be a testament to his imperial might!
"Come and join me!"
Xue Kui pulled out his great sword and rode a specially acquired male demon horse, looking quite imposing.
The imperial guards at the side gate had already been taken away by Xuesong, so Xuekui had no trouble getting through.
However, it was precisely because of this that Xue Kui walked very slowly, fearing a trap.
Ye Nanxiao stood high in the sky, looking down at the ranks of troops.
The Azure Flower slowly rotated above his head.
The next moment, Ye Nanxiao's figure disappeared and reappeared in front of the gate of the Qian Yuan Palace.
Dou Wu and Dou Liu, who were guarding the gate, were startled by Ye Nanxiao's sudden appearance. They raised their hands to attack, but a chill ran up their spines from the soles of their feet.
"Stop! This is my son's companion!" Xue Lingxun naturally saw Ye Nanxiao's figure as well.
"Your Highness, the three main gates are now under attack. Do you have any good strategies?" Ye Nanxiao asked directly.
Xue Lingxun shook her head slightly. The attack came suddenly, and she hadn't been able to gather her forces quickly enough.
She had been keeping a close watch on all members of the royal family, including Xue Kui and Xue Leng, but she never expected that these two would be able to let so many people into Lingdou City right under her nose.
Presumably, those corrupt old fogies paid a price for obstructing her vision.
"Why not leave?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"They're dismantling the Hall of Heroes. I'll leave once it's down." Xue Lingxun wasn't one to defend the palace. She had already guessed that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes, with the aim of eliminating her.
She had no attachment to the Douling Imperial Palace; the only thing she missed was her father's memorial tablet.
So she decisively demolished the Hall of Heroes in the Qian Yuan Hall, where her father's memorial tablet was located.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. Xue Lingxun wasn't a stubborn person, so things would be easier.
"Your Highness, you wouldn't mind if this ancient palace were renovated later, would you?" Ye Nanxiao smiled, his aura rapidly rising.
He advised Xue Lingxun to leave, not to run away, but to gather almost all the reactionary forces inside and outside the palace and destroy them in one fell swoop.
"Let this ancient fighting spirit become the burial ground for all traitors!"
"This is the city of heroes!" (End of Chapter)
