On the walls of the Imperial City.
Wei Xian had already taken the Emperor of Star Empire, Meng Liuchen, with him. He stood on the city wall and looked down at the rebel army and the other Martial Saint expert of Star Empire, Zhang Ge.
"Grand Marshal Zhang, instead of resting in the manor in the middle of the night, you led the army to attack the Imperial City.
The late emperor's corpse was not cold yet, and countless enemies were surrounding and spying on him. At this time when the empire was in turmoil, could it be that the Grand Commandant wanted to imitate the five great rebels of the past and plot a rebellion?!”Wei Xian looked at Zhang Ge below the city wall and shouted angrily.
"Heresy! This general's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. You, a eunuch, took advantage of this general's serious injury to imprison me and coerce His Majesty to sign a covenant of losing his rights and humiliating the country. How dare you spout nonsense at this time and slander this general to rebel?!
Hurry up and open the Imperial City, tie yourself up and surrender. I might be able to give you a complete corpse on account of our concerted efforts to kill the rebel king that day.
If not, when I enter the Imperial City, I will definitely eat your flesh and sleep on your skin. I will blast a demon like you into powder and be eternally consigned to eternal damnation!”Zhang Ge shouted angrily.
"His Majesty is now on the city wall, but your troops are at the city gates, and you still dare to quibble? Could it be that you, Zhang Ge, have the guts to do such a treacherous thing, but don't have the guts to admit it?”Wei Xian continued to argue with the other party.
After all, what he needed the most now was time. Naturally, he was happy to argue with the other party. As long as the Star Gathering Formation was repaired, he, Wei Xian, would be invincible in this Star Capital.
At that time, killing Zhang Ge and these rebels would be a piece of cake!
"A eunuch like you has brought His Majesty into chaos. We are here to kill a crafty villain like you and return the Empire to a clean court!”Zhang Ge said angrily. It seemed like he had been tricked by Wei Xian. He was not in a hurry to attack the city and only continued to argue with the other party.
"Humph! His Majesty is here. Whether he is treacherous or loyal, His Majesty will decide!”Wei Xian sneered and bowed to Meng Liuchen.
Meng Liuchen looked at Wei Xian expressionlessly, then turned to Grand Commandant Zhang Ge, who was standing below the city wall, and said,"
"Minister Zhang, disturbing the Imperial City in the middle of the night is unforgivable. However, this is the autumn of life and death for the empire. I also understand the meaning of protecting you, so…
My beloved minister, order your soldiers to put down their spears and retreat from the Star Capital. Hand over the Tiger Tally of the Meteor Army and I will let bygones be bygones.”
Meng Liuchen's voice spread out in the night sky, causing the soldiers surrounding the Imperial City to look at each other. They didn't know if they should listen to the Emperor's words. They put down their weapons and left the Star Capital. Finally, they turned their eyes to Zhang Ge, who was standing at the very front.
The veins on Zhang Ge's forehead throbbed, but he ignored Meng Liuchen's words and bowed,""Your Majesty was forced by a traitor. Forgive me for not being able to accept the edict!”
Then, he stood up again, drew his sword, and shouted to the soldiers behind him,""The traitor has brought Your Majesty into chaos and forced Your Majesty to give such a chaotic order. We naturally can't accept the edict to prevent the traitor's scheme from succeeding!
Today, all the Constellatiates will follow me…
Clean up the side of the monarch!"
"Clear the side of the ruler!" In the midst of the flashes of swords and sabers, many soldiers raised their spears and drew their sabers. In an instant, their killing intent soared into the sky.
"Kill them." Zhang Ge shouted angrily and slashed his sword at the light screen formed by the formation protecting the Imperial City!
"Kill them!" Countless soldiers roared as they charged towards the Imperial City, the place where their former loyalists were.
"Grand Marshal Zhang Ge is plotting a rebellion. Soldiers, His Majesty's safety depends on you.!”Wei Xian hurriedly presided over the array formation defense and shouted at the same time.
The imperial guards on the city walls shouted,""I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
The morale of both sides soared.
The Meteor Army led by Zhang Ge was the most elite army in the Star Empire. They were invincible and had expanded their territory. The 100,000-strong Meteor Army was said to be able to kill a Martial Saint.
Although the Imperial Army on Wei Xian's side was the best of the best that had been transferred from the various armies of the Star Empire, there were only about thirty thousand of them. They could only rely on the formation to barely hold off the Meteor Army.
The two armies clashed under the city walls, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The once prosperous Imperial City had now become a terrifying battlefield. The moment they came into contact, both sides were already red with blood!
One side wanted to destroy the grand array protecting the Imperial City, while the other side wanted to stop the other from destroying it.
For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.
"The Star Empire has been reduced to such a state, and these two guys are still fighting at the slightest disagreement. They are two werewolves.”Ling Chen was on top of a palace in the distance, holding a handful of melon seeds as he looked at the bloody battlefield.
Ke Ke nestled in Ling Chen's arms, looking at the bloody battlefield, retched, and then focused on eating melon seeds.
"This Zhang Ge has obviously been planning for a long time, and he even has the support of the forces outside the Star Empire. According to the news, the Outsiders would only arrive at the Star Capital tomorrow. If Wei Xian didn't have any backup plans tonight, he would probably be defeated. However, the news might not be accurate, so it was hard to say.”Ling Chen muttered to himself as he looked at Wei Xian and Zhang Ge.
"This little brother has good eyesight. I wonder which side you're on?”A black clothed woman silently appeared beside Ling Chen, sitting down beside him as if they were friends, and even took out a handful of melon seeds from the oil paper bag beside him.
Ke, who was about to go get some melon seeds, was shocked by the sudden appearance of the person. She immediately hid in Ling Chen's arms, her small claws tightly gripping onto Ling Chen's clothes, her big eyes staring at the person who had just arrived.
Ling Chen wasn't surprised by the woman's sudden appearance. Although she was good at hiding, she still couldn't escape his senses.
"Me?" Ling Chen smiled," I'm on Meng Liuchen's side, which side are you on?”
This was not a lie. Other than snatching Meng Liusu, his mission was to protect the Constellation Empire. He was not interested in being an emperor, so he would have to support an emperor.
Meng Liuchen was naturally the best candidate. Saying that he was on Meng Liuchen's side wasn't a problem.
"Meng Liuchen's side? What a coincidence. I'm also on Meng Liuchen's side. Let me introduce myself. Shadow Sect, Martial Saint Yingsha, Luo Mei." The woman in black clapped her hands and said happily.
Shadow Sect also joined in?
Ling Chen had some understanding of this notorious assassin organization in the Tian Xuan Land.
If they were given spirit stones, they would do things, from Martial Saints to ordinary martial artists. Noble to the monarch of a country, ordinary to the peddler. As long as they could afford it, there was nothing they couldn't kill.
Ling Chen more or less knew about this Martial Saint Yingsha who was once famous in the Sky.
This fellow looked like a young girl, but she was actually an old witch who was almost a hundred years old. Five years ago, she killed the previous sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect alone, who was also Yun Xingli's master, and disappeared without a trace. She did not expect to appear in this chaotic Star Capital today.
"What benefits did Meng Liuchen promise your Shadow Sect to invite a god like you out?”Ling Chen asked without hesitation.
"It's nothing. It's just the taxes of the Starry Empire for the next ten years.”Luo Mei said indifferently.
