Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuyan almost died of anger. Fortunately, she had a profound ability to control her anger. Otherwise, she would have cursed out loud.
Raising 120% of his Heavenly Demonic Power, he poured Heavenly Demonic Genuine Qi into his palm continuously, unleashing a powerful palm force.
"Bang!"
The Sword Qi shattered and the palm print exploded, turning into two streams of Genuine Qi that exploded in the barbican. In an instant, Zhu Yuyan and Wu Lie appeared hundreds of feet away.
The three evil cult grandmasters also took this opportunity to rush out of the barbican and escape.
"Stay."
Ah Da and Ah Er attacked at the same time. They each found a demonic sect grandmaster. Their palm prints filled the sky, and their fist force surged into the sky.
As for the third evil cult grandmaster, before he could be happy, a powerful saber light slashed over.
It was Liang Jiao, the commander of the Imperial Army, who was ranked second in the Martial Dao Saber Art. His long saber rumbled as he slashed out in the air.
After forcing the evil cult grandmaster back, the saber light spilled out and cut a huge hole in the barbican.
The power of the saber light could be said to be terrifying. Otherwise, it would not be worthy of the title of second in saber techniques.
More than half of the two thousand armored soldiers of the Divine Might Camp had been killed or injured by the Imperial Army's rain of arrows, and in just ten breaths of time, only a few hundred remained.
He relied on his shield to block the rain of arrows and barely survived.
After sending Zhu Yuyan flying with a casual slash, Su Xuan stood on the city wall with a three-foot-long steel sword in his hand.
In the barbican, Wu Lie, who had escaped the sword Qi, did not have time to rejoice. In the blink of an eye, he saw the ground covered in broken corpses and the densely packed Imperial Army soldiers on the city wall.
He could not help but let out a furious roar. If he still did not understand what had happened, he did not deserve to live until now.
"Sister Yue, oh Sister Yue."
"Your Second Brother has been planning everything, but he never expected you to want to be the emperor."”
Zhu Yuyan's gaze was fixed on the sword-wielding figure on the city wall. A familiar feeling once again surged into her heart, and her eyes were filled with doubt.
"Instead of beating your chest and stamping your feet here, why don't you think of a way to escape?”
Zhu Yuyan said in a deep voice," I will hold him back. You find an opportunity to rush out of the barbican. There are still thousands of armored soldiers outside. As long as we arrive, we might be able to turn the tables."”
"Then I'll have to trouble Sect Master Zhu."
Wu Lie nodded and pulled out the long sword at his waist. His cultivation was not weak and had already reached the peak of the Connate Realm. He was only one step away from reaching the Vajra Realm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two palace doors opened, and orderly groups of Imperial Army soldiers rushed out of the barbican. They held swords and shields in their hands and formed a battle formation, slowly charging towards Wu Lie and Zhu Yuyan.
"Kill them."
Su Xuan said.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
All the Imperial Army soldiers roared. Outside the palace gates, a group of cavalry was galloping wildly. It was Wu Yue 'er's Fine Willow Camp.
The two thousand cavalrymen did not make any mistakes. After opening the city gates, they did not participate in the battle. Instead, they rushed out of the palace gates and hid.
"Kill them."
The leader of the Fine Willow Camp was a tiger general. He held a spear in his hand, and his entire body was filled with baleful aura. He was at the Vajra Realm.
He led the two thousand Fine Willow Camp soldiers into the outer palace, and then the palace gates closed again.
On the city wall, Su Xuan held his steel sword with both hands as he looked at Zhu Yuyan and Wu Lie, who were surrounded by thousands of elite soldiers. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Celestial Phenomenon Grandmasters were very strong, but they weren't invincible. Not everyone was like Su Xuan, who could shatter 3,000 pieces of armor with a casual strike.
Facing the fearless Imperial Army and Fine Willow Camp cavalry, even someone as strong as Zhu Yuyan was in danger several times.
Every time she wanted to bring Wu Lie out of the barbican, Su Xuan would use his sword qi to force her down.
As for the three great grandmasters of the demonic sect, they could not even take care of themselves at this time. They were being beaten up by Ah Da, Ah Er, and Liang Jiao.
In Daxing Palace, the civil and military officials waited for a long time, but Second Prince Wu Lie did not come. On the dragon throne, the old Emperor was no longer speaking.
Instead, he leaned back on the dragon throne with his eyes half-open and half-closed. The blood on his face had mostly dissipated.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened."
The eunuchs hurriedly entered the hall.
"What is it?"
The old Emperor slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were a little grayish-white.
The eunuch kneeled on both knees and said," The Second Prince led the Godly Might Battalion into the Imperial Palace and was ambushed by the Imperial Army in the barbican. The front and back palace gates are tightly shut, and the Godly Might Battalion has suffered heavy casualties. The Imperial Army infantry has entered the barbican and is currently strangling the Second Prince.”
"Boom!"
The ministers in the hall were shocked.
"Your Majesty, Liang Jiao is rebelling.”
"Your Majesty, please quickly give the order to mobilize the troops of the three divisions and six armies to rescue the second prince.”
"If anything happens to the Second Prince, what will happen to Wu Zhou?”
The officials hurriedly said.
"Isn't the Second Prince accompanied by Empress Yin and a group of experts?”
On the dragon throne, the old Emperor did not show the slightest surprise and only asked slowly. However, his pair of pale pupils suddenly revealed some light.
"Your Majesty, Empress Yin was forced back by the Tenth Princess's guard, Ye Gucheng, with a single sword strike. The other three evil cult grandmasters were also held back by Commander Liang and the two guards of the Princess.”
The eunuch hurriedly replied.
"What does the Tenth Princess want to do?"
A white-haired old minister was furious."Does she also want to be the emperor?"
Originally, it was just to vent his hatred, but after the old minister finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
The officials suddenly realized that this wasn't possible, but Wu Yue 'er was doing it.
"Your Majesty, please quickly give the order to quell the rebellion.”
"It's too late."
"This is ridiculous. A mere princess wants to touch the throne of the emperor.”
"What virtue and ability does she have to be able to continue our Wuzhou Empire?”
However, the old Emperor did not move. He just closed his eyes and leaned against the dragon throne to take a nap.
The Outer Palace of the Imperial City
The brutal battle continued. The barbican that was thousands of feet wide was now dyed red with blood. Corpses, broken limbs, and minced meat were everywhere.
Zhu Yuyan was covered in blood, and her eyes were cold. She kept waving her palm print and breathing in and out powerful zhenqi. With a casual palm strike, she killed more than ten armored soldiers, but immediately, more soldiers rushed forward.
On the other side, Second Prince Wu Lie was already covered in injuries. In the end, he was pierced through by a spear and nailed to the city wall. His eyes were wide open, and there was still unwillingness and anger on his face.
At this point, all nine princes of Wu Zhou had died, and only Wu Yue 'er was left of the direct royal bloodline.
"It's time to end it."
Su Xuan muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes. The 10,000-refined steel sword in his hand trembled and erupted with a terrifying sharpness. His right hand gripped the hilt of the sword as he stepped into the air, crossing 350 feet and appearing in front of Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan, in an instant.
The latter's cold eyes narrowed as she reached out her hand and formed a palm print before charging straight at Su Xuan.
"You overestimate yourself."
His tone was calm as he slashed out with the sword in his hand. The terrifying power contained in the sword erupted and tore the palm print apart.
Zhu Yuyan's eyes widened and her face flushed red. She felt her body fly out uncontrollably.
A large amount of his zhenqi had already been expended by the Fine Willow Camp and the Imperial Army soldiers, and he had been ambushed by Su Xuan. With only eighty percent of his usual strength, how could he possibly block Su Xuan's sword?
"Boom!"
The dignified Empress Yin, the number one expert of the Demon Sect whose name shook the Nine States, was smashed into the city wall by a person and a sword.
Zhu Yuyan's body directly smashed through the two-foot-thick city wall. She flew another hundred feet before landing on the ground. Her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
One could imagine how terrifying Su Xuan's strike was.
The Eightfold Wedding Dress Technique, coupled with the power of the Indestructible Body of Vajra, was also why he was confident that he could kill Xin Jianqing, who was one of the three religions, within ten moves.
"Tied up!"
He sheathed his long sword and spoke to the Imperial Army around him. He was too lazy to look at the unconscious Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan.
"Yes."
Two soldiers passed chains through Zhu Yuyan's shoulder and tied her up before carrying her away.
"Boom!"
A terrifying saber light descended from the sky, followed by the corpse of a demonic sect grandmaster.
Liang Jiao put away his saber and glanced at Second Prince Wu Lie, who was nailed to the city wall by a spear. He then looked at Su Xuan with a complicated expression."You won."
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This storm had finally stopped, and his job and head were saved.
After killing Wu Lie, in less than an hour, Wu Yue 'er took over the six departments and three divisions. As for the Imperial Palace, it was already under her control.
It was a quarter to nine in the afternoon.
As the officials waited anxiously, the Tenth Princess, Wu Yue 'er, stepped into the main hall. Behind her was the Imperial Army Commander, Liang Jiao, Su Xuan, and the old woman.
"Deng"
Dressed in black armor, carrying long sabers at their waists, and wearing ferocious masks, the Imperial Army soldiers filed into the main hall and lined up in two rows.
The bloodstains on these soldiers had not dried yet, and their bodies were emitting a terrifying killing intent.
Especially the cold eyes under the masks, they were like wild beasts.
The entire court was terrified. Everyone lowered their heads, and the timid ones even trembled.
Wu Yue 'er tidied her clothes and stepped forward. She knelt on both knees and said,""Your son greets father."
On the dragon throne, the old Emperor opened his eyes.""How is your second brother?"
"Dead."
Wu Yue 'er raised her head,"Second Brother died in the chaos.”
"Forget it, forget it."
The old Emperor shook his head. With the help of the old eunuch, he slowly stood up and swept his gaze across the officials in the hall.
It had been a long time since his eyes had been so sharp.
The old Emperor slowly said," From today onwards, the Tenth Princess Wu Yue will be the Crown Prince of Wuzhou. After I pass away, she will be the Emperor of Wuzhou. She will lead the officials and people. If anyone disagrees, it will be considered a rebellion and their families will be confiscated and exterminated.”
"Thank you, Imperial Father."
Wu Yue 'er stood up, but there was not the slightest smile on her face.
"Greetings, Crown Prince."
After the ministers knelt down, she was the rightful Crown Prince of Wuzhou and the heir to the throne.
The old Emperor picked up the jade seal and slowly stamped the Crown Prince's edict and the succession edict that he had prepared.
He closed his eyes and never woke up again.
"Your Majesty."
The wailing echoed in Daxing Palace.
"Everyone."
Liang Jiao, the commander of the Imperial Army, stood up and said,"The edict of the late Emperor is here. He invites the Crown Prince to inherit the throne."”
The officials looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Do you want to rebel?"
Liang Jiao shouted.
"Swoosh!"
In the hall, all the Imperial Army soldiers had their sabers half-unsheathed, their sabers glinting with a cold light.
"It's not that we don't respect the will of the previous emperor, but since ancient times, there has never been a woman who claimed to be an emperor.”
An old official said bitterly.
"I didn't have it before, but I do now."
Su Xuan unsheathed his sword, and a head fell to the ground. He wiped the blood off his sword and spoke indifferently.
"Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes and continued asking.
"Xin Zai, you are the prime minister, the head of all officials.”
He looked at Xin Jianqing, who had lost his soul.
Xin Jianqing shook his head. Did he have a choice? Did Wu Zhou still have a choice? "I respectfully respect the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne in front of his spirit, so as to avoid any more trouble."”
"We respectfully invite the Crown Prince to inherit the throne."
Since the Prime Minister nodded, the other officials naturally followed. Even if others scolded them in the future, Xin Jianqing would be there to take the blame.
The two old eunuchs hurriedly took out the dragon robe that they had prepared in advance and put it on Wu Yue 'er.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Empress of a generation ascended the throne and stepped onto the stage of the Nine States. She carried the Wuzhou Empire on one shoulder and the common people on the other.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Outside the palace, all the Imperial Army soldiers knelt down as well.
Shouts spread throughout the entire Fairy's Capital and lasted for a long time. In a few days, the news of Wu Yue 'er's ascension to the throne spread throughout the Nine States.
After the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor's coronation ceremony was simplified, followed by the national funeral. Every household in Luoyang wore mourning clothes.
The brothels and brothels were all closed, and even the streets were much quieter.
All of this had nothing to do with Su Xuan. He had already completed the first thing he had promised.
Outside the Divine Capital, Wu Yue 'er watched Su Xuan's back as he left. As he walked further and further away, her vision became increasingly blurry under the sunlight.
"I still left."
long time
Only then did she retract her gaze. Her expression was complicated, as if she had some indescribable thoughts, but in the end, all she could do was sigh.
"Manager Su's heart is in the martial world, not in the court.”
The old woman consoled him." Fairy's Capital is too small. It can't fit Shopkeeper Su. If you have time in the future, you can go to Qixia Town to visit him."”
"Granny, let's go. There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the palace.”
She turned around and got into the carriage. As the curtain was lowered, Wu Yue 'er slowly closed her eyes. Her feelings could not be described with words.
There was both happiness and pain.
"The wind in the mountains is still cooler."
On the official road, Su Xuan galloped on his horse. The sun rose from the east, and the water vapor in the mountains rose. The mountain breeze that blew in his face was exceptionally cool.
He couldn't help but laugh.
The martial world was his home, and the court was just a passerby. Compared to scheming and scheming, he preferred to drink and laugh, raise a glass to the moon, and discuss the joy of the world.
