At the Imperial Advisor's residence.
Thousands of Monster Vanquishing Guards blocked all the exits of the Imperial Advisor's residence.
"Men!"
"Go in and search, especially the pill concocting room!" One of the officials ordered.”
"How dare you!"
The Taoist priests who were used to being high and mighty suddenly felt indignant and cursed at the Demon Vanquishing Guards.
"This is the Imperial Preceptor's residence. How can you guys barge in?”
"If you stop me again, do you believe that I will chop you up?”
Zhou Xiong drew his saber.
"Come on!"
The Taoist priests also picked up their swords and got into position.
At this moment, an arrow condensed from clear air shot over from the sky, unstoppable.
"Ah!"
Along with a scream, a Taoist priest was pierced through the shoulder and nailed to the door.
Immediately after, he saw the Eldest Princess in a purple dress rush over with hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers.
"His Majesty's decree, those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority.
Looking at the Taoist priest who was nailed to the door and wailing in pain, the rest of the people in the Imperial Advisor's residence immediately did not dare to act rashly.
The Monster Vanquishing Guards marched straight in and began their search.
Two hours passed.
Zhou Xiong came in front of the Eldest Princess and cupped his hands."Reporting to Your Highness, we have searched the Imperial Preceptor's residence inside and outside, even the secret chamber was no exception.
However, we didn't find anything."
"Continue searching."
Xiyue said calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Xiong accepted the order and left.
Xiyue didn't believe it. The Grand Tutor's residence had done so many evil things, yet they didn't leave any traces behind.
"It must be hidden somewhere.”
She led a few imperial guards to the depths of the Imperial Advisor's residence to look for any clues.
"Save…save me…"
Suddenly, a woman's cry for help came from the west.
"Save me…"
"Your Highness."
"Did you hear that?" One of the Imperial Army soldiers asked.”
"Yes."
"Let's go take a look," the Eldest Princess said warily.”
"Save me…"
The few of them followed the direction of the sound. The closer they were, the clearer the cry for help became.
Finally, they arrived at a side courtyard.
He pushed the door open and entered.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a dry well. It was sealed by chains and covered with layers of talismans.
The cry for help came from inside.
"Open it."
The Imperial Army soldiers stepped forward and broke the seal.
After opening the lid, a surge of murderous aura rushed towards him!
At the bottom of the dry well, countless vengeful souls wailed and howled!
"This…"
No matter how brave the Imperial Army soldiers were, they couldn't help but retreat when they saw this scene.
They guessed,"The people from the Imperial Advisor's Residence actually imprisoned the souls of living people here!"”
"My guess is that it's used to cultivate some evil technique.”
"Your Highness, this evidence is enough to add another sum to the Grand Tutor's estate!”
“……”
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a blood-red bead appeared out of thin air in the sky above the courtyard.
The bead emitted a red light and formed a barrier that covered the entire courtyard like an upside-down bowl.
Barrier, Prisoner's Pearl!
"Your Highness.
I remember that I reminded you in the hall today not to participate in this case. It won't do you any good.”
He turned around and saw Lu Kai appearing out of nowhere.
He was playing with a short sword in his hand, his face gloomy.
"Lu Kai? How dare you. You imprisoned these souls, right? Take him down!"
The Imperial Army drew their sabers and charged forward.
Lu Kai didn't move. He just threw the short sword in his hand.
The short sword turned into a flash of light and flashed past.
In an instant, the throats of three Imperial Army soldiers were slit open and they fell to the ground.
The speed was so fast that no one could react in time.
Xiyue gathered her Righteousness Qi to protect herself and said coldly,""Little heavenly master, weren't you crying in front of Imperial Father this morning, pretending to be a conscientious and loyal official until the end of time?
Why did they fall out with each other now and not even plan to act?”
"I'm not acting anymore."
" No matter what," Lu Kai retracted his short sword." After today, Father will settle everything. At that time, the Grand Tutor's Residence will still be the Grand Tutor's Residence."
However, the Demon Suppression Division no longer had Zhong Zhen.”
" What are you doing to Elder Zhong?" Xiyue asked.”
"Your Highness will know after today," Lu Kai said confidently.”
He paused and looked at the arrow that slowly appeared behind the Eldest Princess. He said,
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry.
I have no intention of hurting you.
The reason why I sealed this place with a barrier is because I want to talk to you.”
Xiyue didn't want to say another word.""Is there anything to talk about between you and bengong?”
"Your Highness."
Lu Kai hesitated.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said,"Your Highness, I would like to ask His Majesty to bestow a marriage upon us!"”
After saying this, he kept secretly looking at the Eldest Princess 'expression, trying to analyze her reaction.
However…
From the beginning to the end, Xiyue's snow-white face did not show any emotion.
It was terrifyingly calm.
It was as if Lu Kai's words were like the barking of a dog to her. It was not worth listening to.
"Are you even worthy?"
A moment later, Xiyue gave a short answer.
Her voice was like a glacier, clear and cold.
"I…"
"Your Highness, if you're worried that His Majesty will reject you, you don't have to," Lu Kai explained with a stutter.
His Majesty will agree."
Would His Majesty agree?
Xiyue was puzzled.
The Imperial Advisor's residence was now guilty, so how could Imperial Father agree to such a marriage?
However, why was Lu Kai so certain? It was as if they had discussed this beforehand.
She did not have time to think about this question for the time being. She only said emotionlessly,
"You're thinking too much.
You're simply not worthy."
Not worthy!
“……”
Lu Kai's face was filled with embarrassment, shame, jealousy, resentment, and finally hatred and anger.
"In that case, Your Highness, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
The short sword in his hand flew out again! -
