Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Liu Tong and Xiao Luzi had makeup on their faces the whole time, so the Fifth Prince didn't recognize them.

Seeing that the two were powerful, and that the aftershocks of their battle were easily neutralized by them, he decided to recruit them.

"I am Liu Heng. May I ask your esteemed names, gentlemen?"

Liu Tong and Xiao Luzi exchanged a glance, finding it quite amusing.

Liu Tong smiled and said, "My name is Liu Tong."

"So it's Swordsman Liu." The Fifth Prince clasped his hands in greeting and then paused, "Hey, that name sounds familiar."

He didn't realize that this was the name of his brother in this life.

Normally, everyone else calls Liu Dong the Fourth Prince, the Emperor, the Crown Prince and the First Prince call him Liu Dong the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince and the princes below call him Liu Dong the Imperial Brother.

No one called him by that name, so much so that even the Fifth Prince forgot that the Fourth Prince's name was "Liu Tong".

The Fifth Prince approached Liu Tong, intending to build a rapport and explain the benefits that would help him.

Suddenly, a figure hurtled towards the Fifth Prince.

Liu Tong grabbed the Fifth Prince's arm and pulled him back three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

The spot where the Fifth Prince had just stood had been cratered, and a person was lying on top of the crater, unable to get up.

Several palace guards used their light-footed skills to rush towards the man.

Taking advantage of the man's inability to resist, they hacked him to death with a flurry of blows.

That person was one of the three grandmasters.

It turned out that the drugs in the three people's bodies had finally taken effect.

The trap that Emperor Qianming set for the three of them was not so easy to break.

Two grandmasters from the palace attacked with a hail of arrows from thousands of guards, including crossbows that could breach the city walls.

Such powerful attacks would be difficult for even a grandmaster to withstand.

The three of them used all their strength to resist the attack. At first, they were able to handle it with ease, but as time went on, their internal energy was depleted too much, and they could no longer suppress the effects of the medicine.

The medicine that damaged the dantian then began to take effect.

With their dantian eroded and their true qi unable to circulate smoothly, the three of them were put at a disadvantage.

The three men realized that things were not going well and that staying any longer would only make things worse for them.

The three of them then decided to retreat.

Although these three joined forces to kill Emperor Qianming, they were not on the same side and had old grudges against each other.

Given the chance, they will also try to sabotage each other.

Now that they're escaping, the natural course of action is to abandon the other person to hold off the enemy and run away first.

However, all three of them shared the same idea: to trick others.

As a result, they held each other back, and neither of them managed to escape the palace.

Two of them had less personal grudges; they exchanged a glance, instantly formed an alliance, and attacked the other person.

The man was betrayed; the two renowned masters who had come to greet him at the palace were now facing a deadly attack, while he was stabbed in the back by two other men.

The poor grandmaster was instantly severely injured and sent flying, landing in front of the Fifth Prince and Liu Dong and the others.

He was so badly injured that he could no longer fight, and he couldn't even get out of bed.

He was brutally killed by a group of ordinary guards.

The martial arts skills of those guards were barely even second-rate in the martial arts world.

result……

The other two betrayed their companion, buying themselves time to escape.

But Emperor Qianming was meticulous; he even calculated their escape route and arranged for a team of skilled archers to wait there.

Upon seeing the people running towards them, the archers all fired their arrows.

Although there weren't thousands, hundreds of arrows still kept the two of them trapped.

In those few short seconds, the grandmaster from the palace caught up.

Although the grandmasters in the palace were not famous in the martial arts world and were not among the ten grandmasters, their strength surpassed that of most grandmasters. They were far stronger than those three foolish grandmasters who came to assassinate the emperor.

The three idiots were only at the early stage of Grandmaster, while the Imperial Palace had two Grandmasters, one at the peak of the early stage and the other directly at the mid-stage of Grandmaster.

The two of them working together could withstand the combined attack of three grandmasters.

With the addition of thousands of guards in the palace, the three grandmasters could only perish.

Two grandmasters, one killed, the other seriously injured.

The seriously injured one then crashed into Liu Dong and the Fifth Prince's door.

Thousands of guards surrounded the seriously injured grandmaster.

This time, they didn't make a move.

After all, one person needs to be left alive as a witness for interrogation.

Seeing that the seriously injured man was no longer able to fight back, the two grandmasters from the imperial palace bowed to Emperor Qianming and took their leave.

They all had royal blood and were, by definition, elders of Emperor Qianming.

Emperor Qianming dared not arbitrarily order the two men around.

This time, it was only through the efforts of a grandmaster that the two were able to be summoned.

Otherwise, the two of them would not have shown up when the Crown Prince forced the emperor to abdicate.

They will not interfere in royal infighting, and will only intervene when the royal family's reputation is threatened.

Emperor Qianming strolled over to the injured Grandmaster, ignoring the Fifth Prince and those around him.

It's easy to guess why the Fifth Prince showed up; it was simply to curry favor with him.

Emperor Qianming appointed Liu Tong and his companion as guards for the Fifth Prince.

He couldn't discern Liu Dong's cultivation level, but he could tell that Xiao Luzi was a first-rate expert. He thought to himself that the fifth brother was quite capable, able to find a first-rate expert to act as his bodyguard, which was better than the eldest brother's.

The Fifth Prince's private actions over the years have not escaped the Emperor's notice.

But the emperor didn't care.

He didn't think that running a restaurant and writing stories would help in the struggle for the throne. He believed that the Fifth Prince was just as capable as the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, but he didn't use his abilities for the right purposes.

However, if Emperor Qianming had to choose between the eldest prince and the fifth prince as his successor, he would choose the fifth prince.

Because the Fifth Prince is intelligent and can be taught.

The eldest prince is an idiot; no amount of teaching can change him.

Emperor Qianming walked smugly to the Grandmaster's side and chuckled, "Grandmaster, nothing special!"

He forgot that even a dying grandmaster has some trump cards up his sleeve.

The severely injured grandmaster suddenly sprang into action, delivering a fatal blow to Emperor Qianming.

The crowd gasped and rushed to the rescue, but the speed of a master was far beyond their reach.

Before they could even reach Emperor Qianming's side, the Grandmaster's attack struck Emperor Qianming first.

The fifth prince's eyes widened, a glint of excitement in them.

Is the emperor going to die?

Has his chance to rule the world arrived?
However, he was disappointed.

Although the attack reached Emperor Qianming, it was deflected by him.

The Fifth Prince's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Emperor Qianming was truly a man of great talent and cunning!

He was actually a top-tier expert!
His strength surpasses that of all the palace guards!
Although his strength was far inferior to that of a Grandmaster, the Grandmaster was already seriously injured, and the attack he desperately unleashed was less than half the power of his original attack, so it was naturally neutralized by Emperor Qianming.

Emperor Qianming knew that this attack was a desperate strike by a grandmaster, who had no strength left. He smiled smugly and was about to give a long, rambling speech when he suddenly saw that the grandmaster had launched another attack.

Caught off guard, Emperor Qianming was struck by the attack, coughing up blood as he flew backward.

The guards panicked and rushed forward to help Emperor Qianming up, escorting him back to the palace to summon the imperial physician. (End of Chapter)
