Chapter 311 Chaos

Inside the palace, all the officials and courtiers stopped their actions because of the sudden roar. They all looked outside the palace with surprise on their faces.

Ning Qianshi's face was as gloomy as water!

Everyone knows that today is the day of the grand ceremony. It is an extremely important day for both Qiguo and the Privy Council. To dare to come to the capital at this time is simply to slap the face of the Seven Star Envoy!

"Everyone, please be patient and do not leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony." He took out a megaphone and made his words drown out the discussion on the scene. "I will go to find out the situation. No matter what the thunder just now caused, it will not affect the progress of the grand ceremony, nor will it affect everyone in the palace. Please rest assured."

Then he winked at Qian and Baizhan, turned around and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ning Qianshi initially thought that there might be some accident that caused the loud noise, but when he climbed the outer wall of the palace and saw the situation on the west side of the palace, this bit of luck also turned into a bubble.

White Tiger Avenue was in a mess at this moment. The originally flat road surface was gone, and a huge gap appeared in the middle of the street. This gap was at least ten feet wide, as if a ground dragon had rolled over it. White gas continued to come out of the gap, and broken bricks and stones were scattered everywhere.

No accident could have done this.

Obviously someone was deliberately embarrassing Daqi.

Yes, it was embarrassing.

Attack Shangyuan City? The explosion point was completely concentrated on Baihu Street, and the surrounding onlookers were almost unaffected. Kill the worship team that came first? That should have waited until they reached the street before taking action.

Ning Qianshi felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He would rather the other party came for the palace or the Privy Council and killed people in the city, so that he at least had a target to deal with, and at least he could clearly show the ministers and the Seven Star Envoys that the Privy Council of Qiguo was not an easy target to mess with.

But just blow up a street?

Or the main road of the West Gate where the emperor was about to travel?

What's the difference between this and slapping the Privy Council in the face!

A slap won't cause any real damage, but sometimes it's more unbearable than a sword.

"Bai Zhan, go find out what's going on." Ning Qianshi said solemnly, "I don't smell gunpowder smoke, the explosion should be the result of magic. There's someone in the palace who can track the traces of magic, take him with you."

"Leave it to me." Yunshang Jushi nodded.

Qian touched his chin, "If this magic is used in a crowd, there will be at least thousands of casualties, right? It only destroys the streets and doesn't endanger everyone. Whose hand is this?"

Many answers emerged in Ning Qianshi's mind, opponents of the Seven Stars, remnants of the Yongchao, Black Gate believers... and even the Western Great Ambassador, but he always felt that something didn't match. "It doesn't matter who it is. As long as I catch him, I will make him wish he could not live or die--"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the ground in front of the palace suddenly swelled up!

Qian was quick-witted and took the second prince behind him.

"Boom———————Boom———————!"

A loud bang exploded under their feet, and the turbulent shock wave carried a lot of water vapor along the wall, instantly covering half of the palace wall!

This time, the defenders were obviously not so lucky.

The soldiers near the wall were hit by the hot air wave, and they fell down in an instant. At the same time, the violent explosion paralyzed the hearing of many people, which in turn affected their body balance. Even if they avoided the air wave, more than a dozen soldiers fell off the city wall in a panic.

Like the situation on White Tiger Street, the explosion did not occur only once, but spread in a chain. The second explosion suddenly appeared in the palace!

The palace area was like a pot of boiling water!

...

"Xia Fan, the troops of the Privy Council are out!"

Li noticed the movement in the Privy Council at the top of the pagoda at the first time-the guards on standby in the square had come out in full force and ran straight towards the palace.

The same is true for the Taoist priests patrolling the surrounding area. As the crowd hurriedly left the inner city, their figures walking in the opposite direction were particularly eye-catching.

"Have you all gone to Baihu Street?"

"Yes, not only the people in the Privy Council, I saw a small group of Taoist priests rushing westward."

This is the most ideal situation in the plan - using thundering means to interrupt the coronation ceremony, and even create the illusion of threatening the palace, attracting all the attention of the Privy Council, and thus creating an opportunity window for the prison break to be implemented.

"Got it, you continue to monitor the other party's actions, we are also going in." Xia Fan replied immediately.

"Don't let them catch you." Li suppressed his worries and solemnly warned.

"Don't worry, although the other party has an additional core Taoist priest in the Privy Council, I also have listeners to help me. Keep in touch, I'm leaving."

It would be great if I was in the prison at this moment. Li turned her head and looked towards the East City District, but she also knew that attacking was not her forte, not to mention that providing the Privy Council with information on the response was equally important. She was the only one who could quietly climb up the pagoda and safely evacuate after the city was sealed.

Li shook her ears, retracted her distracting thoughts, and refocused her attention on the Tianfu Street District.

…

The method of entering the prison compound can be described as plain and simple. Xia Fan took out the seven-star name tag to attract the attention of the guards, and then Luo Qingqing knocked out the three people neatly, dragged them into the yard, and locked the door.

If the guards on the watchtower were still there, they would definitely notice the abnormality in front of the door. Unfortunately, before Xia Fan took action, several venomous snakes and scorpions climbed up the sentry post and solved this problem for the two.

At this point in the plan, Fang Yanni and Fang Xiandao's mission was also completed - they were not good at frontal combat, so they had to leave Shangyuan City as soon as possible.

After entering the compound, Xia Fan and Luo Qingqing ran along the wall, while Gun Gun ran and jumped on the roof of the house to point the way for the two.

Soon, the prison of the Privy Council appeared in their sight.

The guards at the entrance also noticed the approach of the two at the first time.

"Who are you? Tell me your names!"

"Wait a minute," someone muttered, "Isn't this robe... a fourth-rank Taoist robe?"

"Master Bai Ren? Master... what do you want to do here?"

Xia Fan didn't say a word, and threw a copper wire pendant -

"Zhenshu Guichen, Liuguang."

Dazzling lightning burst out from his fingertips and instantly penetrated several guards in front of the door. He had already mastered this move. Not only could he accurately control the power of the spell, but he could also control the direction of the electric current. With just one cast, he could achieve the most ideal effect of attacking the enemy.

After the blue light flashed, the guards fell to the ground without a word.
