Chapter 706: Night Attack on the Imperial Palace

Night falls, and the world is quiet.

The new capital of the Yunfeng Dynasty is still named "Shengyuan City".

It's just that the location of the imperial capital has moved from the original southeast of the continent to the central part of the continent.

At this time, a blue flying boat quietly hovered in the void a hundred miles away from the "New Shengyuan City".

The young man on the boat looked at the majestic city a hundred miles away with a complicated look.

Zhao Heng's first stop after returning to the righteous territory was Shengyuan City.

In the South Region, the two people he cared about most were his senior sister Yun Qingxue and the Holy Yuan Empress. Both women were the people who had the closest relationship with him.

Yun Qingxue met him in humble circumstances and was very kind to him. She was also the first woman Zhao Heng fell in love with.

Although the union of the Holy Yuan Empress and Zhao Heng was unexpected, they fought side by side in the imperial capital and experienced life and death together. Later, they opened their hearts and accepted each other.

Now there is no trace of the Yun family, and Zhao Heng has not yet found out about Yun Qingxue.

After receiving the exact information from the Holy Yuan Empress, he came out of retreat as soon as possible.

According to the intelligence collected by the Wood God Department, during the war between good and evil, changes also occurred within the Yunfeng Dynasty.

Originally under the rule of the Holy Yuan Empress, the dynasty was prosperous and strong, but the rebels who had been suppressed once again rose up strangely, and began to rebel with the support of some mysterious forces.

For a time, the Yunfeng Dynasty was in chaos.

This chaos lasted for several years. The imperial capital sent troops to fight, but failed to quell the rebellion, and was eventually forced to move the capital.

Zhao Heng, who learned of this information, was secretly worried.

He knew that with Yu Qing's character, she would never move the capital unless it was absolutely necessary.

And Zhao Heng, who understood the relationship between the righteous sect and the secular dynasty, also roughly guessed the source of the rebellion.

Fortunately, according to the intelligence, the Holy Yuan Empress was safe and sound, and even broke through the Guiyuan realm, so Zhao Heng felt relieved.

Approaching the imperial capital, seeing the beauty again, thinking of everything they had experienced, Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel emotional, and stopped to calm down.

Staring at the sleeping imperial capital under the night sky, Zhao Heng was about to use his speed to move forward, but suddenly he felt something.

He sensed that outside the Holy Court City, a group of secret auras were quietly sneaking into the imperial capital, and were approaching the center of the imperial capital, the majestic imperial city, quickly.

"Hmm...?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but frown, and his figure disappeared instantly.

...

The moonlight was bright, the night was like water, and the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace was peaceful and quiet.

As a strange breeze blew by, the ups and downs of insects stopped, and the guards on duty and the palace maids on duty fell asleep one after another.

An invisible energy light curtain also rose quietly at this moment, isolating the imperial palace from Shengyuan City.

Everything happened silently.

Just a moment later

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...!"

Hundreds of "arrow streams" formed by energy condensation suddenly shot out from all sides of the imperial study room in the harem, which was still lit with candlelight.

These arrows flew through at high speed, piercing through the stone walls and the columns, with amazing power.

However, when these energy arrows approached the imperial study room within ten feet.

"Buzz...!"

A light blue energy light curtain suddenly rose up, blocking and shattering all these arrows.

"Huh...?"

A light exclamation came from the darkness, and then a deep shout was heard.

"Do it!"

The next moment.

"Shua shua shua...!"

Around the imperial study room, in the dark corners of the palace, mysterious lights lit up.

Dozens of black-clothed masked warriors with the cultivation of the heavenly realm rushed out at high speed.

They either used their body skills to escape or flew with flying tools, rushing straight to the imperial study room.

Facing the powerful blue light curtain, everyone attacked, blasting out a large amount of mysterious light, causing the light curtain to roar and tremble.

But in the next moment.

Inside the blue light curtain, a figure suddenly flashed, accompanied by a large amount of energy attack, and rushed out in the opposite direction.

"Kill!"

In the imperial study, more than 20 warriors of the heavenly realm also rushed out.

Led by a middle-aged woman and a girl wearing barbarian boots and a bright red dress, they fought with the group of black-clothed men.

For a time, mysterious light sparks flew, swords and shadows intertwined, and the two sides fought fiercely around the imperial study.

Seeing that the other side had been prepared, the battle fell into a stalemate.

"Swish...!"

A signal flare was fired from the hand of a man in black, exploding in the void.

The next moment, four powerful and compelling auras with the power of heaven and earth swept into the city at the same time from the four gates of the imperial city.

Then, four rays of light shot up into the sky, flying over the imperial study at high speed.

These four people were all in black and masked, and their cultivation had reached the Guiyuan realm.

Two were in the middle stage of the Guiyuan realm, and two were in the late stage of the Guiyuan realm.

The four men in black stood in mid-air, and at the same time, they blasted out a palm print containing the power of heaven and earth, hitting the green light curtain.

After a burst of dazzling mysterious light, the tough green light curtain finally couldn't bear the heavy load and exploded.

"Kill the empress and seize the jade seal!"

A man in black shouted, and the next moment, the four rushed to the imperial study shrouded in mysterious light and smoke.

However, before the four rushed into the imperial study.

"Chi Chi Chi!"

In the imperial study, sharp knife lights and sword energy broke through the air at the same time, interrupting the four people's dive.

The next moment.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh...!"

Three rays of light shot up into the sky.

A silver-haired woman holding a green sword, with a dignified appearance and a stern expression.

and a man with a burly figure, handsome temperament, one arm broken, and a knife in his left arm.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, protected a beautiful woman wearing a cloud brocade dragon pattern wide silk skirt and a jade crown to tie her hair.

The woman had fair skin, crystal clear like jade, delicate features, tall and slender figure, stunning appearance, but also a majestic and wise temperament. Facing the invasion of powerful enemies, the woman was not panicked at all.

"Who are you, dare to trespass into my imperial study!"

The woman's voice was cold and intimidating.

Seeing the three people appearing in front of them at the same time, the four men in black met their eyes, and one of them said in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty, the world is in chaos now, and the people are living in misery. Your Majesty is unable to stabilize the world, so you should hand over the jade seal and take the initiative to pass on the order to give up the throne.

Why do you have to be greedy for power, let the people suffer, and face life threats at all times?"

Hearing this, the empress sneered.

"Hehe... If you really care about the lives of the common people, what's wrong with giving this world to you?

Unfortunately, you just use my world as a tool to gain benefits and treat human lives as worthless.

Over the years, you have slaughtered so many cities, using the essence, blood and soul of living beings to refine magic weapons and cultivate spiritual medicines.

How is your practice different from that of evil demons?

Not only will I not give up my throne, but when I accumulate enough strength, I will also crush those of you who are making trouble behind the scenes to ashes and destroy them both physically and spiritually!"

Hearing this, the four men in black shot out cold light in their eyes at the same time.

"Hmph, since your majesty is stubborn, you can't blame us!"

"Kill!"

Two men in black who were in the late stage of Guiyuan Realm took the lead.

One held a double halberd, and the other danced with a steel fork, bursting with thunderous power and attacking the Saint Yuan Empress.

Seeing this, the silver-haired woman beside the empress swept out the green sword in her hand, and a sword light like a stream of silk blocked the two people.

"With me here, how can you be so presumptuous!"

The two men in black felt the sharp power contained in the sword light, which also reached the late stage of Guiyuan realm. They were both shocked and used all their strength to offset the sword.

One of them looked at the silver-haired woman coldly.

"Mu Xuan, your Yuhua Sect is now in trouble, and you still want to stabilize your position in the secular world. It's really wishful thinking. Do you think you can protect Emperor Shengyuan by yourself?

I guess the injuries you left when you fought with the demon cultivators have not healed yet."

Hearing this, Mu Xuan's face changed slightly, and the green sword in her hand was three times more powerful.

"Hmph, I'm more than enough to deal with you!"

After saying that, Mu Xuan moved her body and turned directly into a sky full of green sword rainbows, rushing towards the two.

Seeing this, the two men in black did not hesitate to fight back.

Seeing the two companions fighting with Mu Xuan, the other two men in black also took action immediately.

One of them wielded a steel rod, sweeping out shadows of the rod, and fought with the one-armed man holding a knife, who was in the early stage of Guiyuan Realm.

Another man in black, holding a pair of black iron flywheels, attacked the Holy Yuan Empress.

Feeling the powerful pressure of the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm cultivator on the black-clothed man.

A black light flashed in the palm of the empress's hand, and a sharp golden sword appeared in her hand.

Her aura surged, and she burst out with the might of the early stage of Guiyuan Realm, holding a sword to meet the newcomer.

In the palace, the sky and the ground were fighting.

The assassins who attacked the palace tonight were well prepared and numerous. The number of Tiantian Realm warriors was obviously more than that of the imperial city, and they had the advantage in the melee.

In the sky, the battle between the two Guiyuan Realm cultivators was also in a bad situation for the Imperial City.

At this time, the one-armed man in the early stage of Guiyuan Realm was at an absolute disadvantage when facing a black-clothed cultivator in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm. He could only passively defend himself and had some scars on his body.

On the contrary, the Saint Yuan Empress, with a golden long sword, had a sharp and exquisite sword.

Even if the cultivation was weaker than the opponent, the black-clothed cultivator who was fighting against him could not gain any advantage and was even suppressed by him.

But Mu Xuan, the strongest on her side, had already fallen behind under the joint attack of two cultivators of the same level.

Although Mu Xuan's swordsmanship was also very advanced, and her pure wood elemental power was endless.

But as the two sides fought fiercely, a wisp of black air spread between her eyebrows, causing a slight blockage in her power.

When masters fight, even a slight difference will have a huge impact.

What's more, Mu Xuan's opponents were two strong men of the same level.

After noticing Mu Xuan's weakness, the two immediately pursued her relentlessly, not giving her any chance to adjust her breath.

Mu Xuan's breath became more and more unsmooth, and the black air between her eyebrows became thicker.

Finally, she was careless, her power was not running well, and she was exposed. A man in black seized the opportunity and stabbed her dantian with a sharp iron halberd.

"Senior Mu, be careful!"

At the critical moment, a golden sword light swept across and blocked the attack.

It was the Holy Yuan Empress who saw that Mu Xuan was in a bad situation and tried her best to withdraw her sword and blocked the attack for her.

But the Holy Yuan Empress, after all, was only in the early stage of the Return to Origin Realm. Even if she only drew her sword from the side and resisted slightly, she was still shocked by the attack and flew away, and her breath was lost.

The black-clothed man who attacked Mu Xuan reacted very quickly. Seeing that his halberd was blocked, his eyes turned quickly and instantly locked onto the Holy Yuan Empress.

"Swoosh...!"

He threw the other short halberd in his hand directly, turning it into a stream of light and attacking the Saint Empress' throat.

This attack was as fast as lightning, and it happened at the critical moment when Mu Xuan's power was blocked and Saint Yuan Empress's profound energy was dispersed by this attack.

And the one-armed man was entangled by his opponent and could not help.

For a moment, this attack actually formed a killing momentum.

"Your Majesty!"

There was a cry of surprise from heaven and earth.

Even many men in black showed a trace of emotion in their eyes.

After all, killing a beautiful and beautiful empress would make everyone feel regretful.

But tonight's action was a death order from above, and they must succeed.

While everyone felt regretful, they also felt excited.

However, just when everyone thought that the Saint Yuan empress would fall in the palace tonight.

"Buzz...!"

A strange scene appeared in front of everyone.

Just when the silver edge of the short halberd was only an inch away from the empress's white and slender neck.

In the void, a faint golden ripple was swaying.

The short halberd seemed to be a drop in the ocean, and suddenly it hovered in the air and did not move, as if it was blocked by an invisible energy.

"What is this...?"

Everyone was shocked.

The black-clothed man who threw the short spear had his pupils shrink and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Hiss... Such a strong spiritual power!"
