Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 173 Looking at the Moon
Duan Mingyuan has his reasons for having to meet the First King.

In addition to answering the questions he had while studying at the academy, more importantly, he needed to know what the First King looked like.

Although he was unable to meet the First King himself in the inner hall, fortunately there was a portrait of the First King hanging on the wall. This portrait was left after the war was over and the court was established. The technology of the aliens had already flowed into the court, so there was no need to use hand-painting. Otherwise, when the other party saw the blue and white porcelain, they might question who he was.

The first king in the portrait has shed his youthfulness and entered middle age.

With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.

"What are you doing?"

The First King couldn't help but ask. In the past ten minutes or so, all of Duan Mingyuan's actions were beyond his understanding.

The man put on his clothes, strapped on his sword, and then stood before the portrait to examine it carefully.

Like a pervert.

"I am praying to the gods."

"Please God?"

The First King naturally thought this was some kind of magic. By putting on his clothes and taking away his sword, he might be able to use his sword-wielding skills through some trick.

"Don't waste your energy. Even if you can display the skills I had in my heyday, you will still not be their match."

"You don't need to be in your prime."

Duan Mingyuan's eyes never left the portrait. He casually picked up a wooden box on the table. As his thoughts changed, the shape of the wooden box also changed. What fell into his hand was a brand new human skin mask. "The one I want to invite is the old poisoner in his prime."

"Old poison?"

"The old poisoner is proficient in the art of disguise."

Duan Mingyuan received the old poisonous creature's memories, including his superb disguise skills.

"伱......"

Looking at Duan Mingyuan who was slowly putting on the human skin mask and becoming exactly like the person in the painting, the First King was speechless for a moment.

"That time you didn't have time to strike with the sword, so I will strike for you."

Even the way he spoke was exactly the same as the first king.

……

Behind the hall, corpses were scattered all over the ground.

The company's pursuers have come here. Yi Wuyang is extremely anxious, which also means that the battle on the other side has come to an end.

The time left for them was much shorter than he expected. If the Third Prince's troops were wiped out, the company would immediately launch a search throughout the court, and it would then be extremely difficult for them to escape.

While he was thinking, the fox demon fought off another team of company guards. If it weren't for the fox demon's help, they would have been captured long ago.

But this is not a long-term solution.

If the company's top guards came here...

Yi Wuyang's thoughts came to an abrupt halt as the figure in black armor had already walked into the hall, and his oppressive gaze swept over each of them.

This is the guard beside Caihui, whom they call Tianyun.

"you again."

Jiu Yue and Tian Yun were confronting each other. The same scene had happened once before in Yunhai Academy. However, compared with the last time they fought, there were a few more burdens around her. The aftermath of the collision between luck and misfortune would cause the eldest princess and others to die without a burial place.

"Go out and fight if you dare!"

September Provocation.

It would be best to go outside, stand next to his boss and have a fight, then get everyone in the company to watch.

Anyway, for those who like to watch the fun, fighting between foxes is rare in the world and is definitely worth seeing.

Tianyun did not listen to Jiu Yue's advice. The propulsion device under his feet spewed out a light blue flame, and his figure swept towards the eldest princess like a meteor.

"ah--!"

The princess was startled and took a step back. She closed her eyes and felt a strong wind blowing in front of her, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The hall was eerily quiet, and the shouting and cursing of Teacher September had disappeared.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw half of a body that had fallen into the corner due to inertia. Following Yi Wuyang's horrified gaze, her eyes widened in an instant.

She had only seen this figure in the portrait in the inner hall, but at this moment, the person in the painting walked out of the frame.

The flying cold light cut off Tianyun's body and then turned back into the sheath.

The person in the painting walked out of the hall without looking around, and his gaze never stayed on Tianyun for even a second, as if the flying sword was only killing a minor character.

She opened her mouth to call out, but her voice was stuck in her throat. She could only watch the figure disappear into the night outside the hall.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Heigang stood on the stone steps in front of the palace gate. He pressed the third prince's head with one hand, and the latter was forced to kneel on the ground and unable to move.

The high and mighty Qinghua finally came down from the tower and came to his side.

"Yingtian, although I admire your courage, your actions have brought extremely negative impacts to this planet."

"If you want to kill, kill."

The third prince relaxed instead.

In this hall, the company's guards will chop off his head. This is the result of his actions. Knowing the direction of his fate, he can face it calmly.

"If I kill you like this, it will be your wish and you will become a hero. It will undoubtedly be a negative example for others who intend to resist. Once the flame of resistance is ignited, the long-standing stability will collapse."

Qinghua glanced at the corpses in front of the hall and said, "We have always advocated resolving disputes in various star regions through peaceful diplomacy, but if we must use fear to suppress them, we are still missing an important step."

"What steps?"

The third prince asked calmly.

"The steps that make the 'hero' lose everything. Those who die for their ideals will become heroes. So what you want to destroy is not only the hero, but also the ideals you died for... You probably want to buy time for the princess and the maid named Caidie through this coup, and ask someone to escort them out of the city, but they are still in the city and cannot leave this royal city."

At this point, the Third Prince's expression finally changed.

"We will find them and bring them back to the company's flagship in front of you. Only then will God grant you death."

No matter how much you wail and cry, your fate will not change.

Even death is no exception.

A sinister gleam flashed across Qinghua's eyes.

The company not only wants to execute the Third Prince, but also the hope he brought to this planet. "You will be able to see them soon."

The next moment, Qinghua suddenly felt cold all over.

Before he could react, Heigang took a step forward and used the three-meter-long black sword as a shield in front of him, but this could not stop the object that was breaking through the air. The moment it came into contact, a hole was created in the black sword, which also pierced through Heigang's body.

The tall armor collapsed with a loud bang and pushed Qinghua, which saved him from being crushed.

In a flash, Qinghua finally saw the object flying towards him.

A flying sword.

Before he could give any order, two Long Branch guards hiding in the dark appeared and supported his body that was about to fall.

This is enough to show how strong a sense of crisis the newcomer brought to Changzhi.

Heigang knelt on the ground, covering his chest tightly with his left hand.

The flying cold light bypassed him and returned to the scabbard of His Highness's figure.

Qinghua also looked in the direction of the cold light.

Under the bright moon, he saw a face that should never be there.
