Evil of all ages

Chapter 208 Sword Burial of Ten Thousand Returns
Xu Yunxue saw the First Prince and the Third Prince clashing in an attempt to win her over.

I didn't interrupt them, let them argue, or treat them like clowns.

"Humph"

The eldest prince was too lazy to argue with the third prince. After letting out a cold snort, he turned to look at the empress.

"Your Majesty, please choose one."

"Don't choose the wrong side."

Li Wukong said in a slightly threatening tone.

"Your Majesty, if you choose him, the Xu family is doomed."

Li Yanliang, worried that the Empress would choose the eldest prince, loudly reminded her.

Hearing the Third Prince's words, Li Wukong looked displeased, but he was too lazy to refute them. He stared intently at the Empress, waiting for her reply.

"To ask me to choose is utterly ridiculous. Neither of you are worthy of it."

"His Majesty left a will, and the successor to the throne has been decided, not the two of you."

"It's not too late for you to stop now."

Xu Yunxue said calmly.

"If it wasn't the two of us, then who was it?"

Upon hearing of the imperial edict, Li Wukong remained unmoved. He had already led his men to storm the palace; what did it matter if there was an imperial edict?
If it's not his, then he'll take it.

But now he wanted to hear who his father had chosen instead of him or the third prince.

The third prince remained silent, yet curious gazes also fell upon him, wondering who would inherit the throne.

Xu Yunxue gave Nie Yang a look, signaling him to read the will.

Nie Yang stepped forward, took out the will, and read it aloud to the public.

When he read the words aloud, he infused his vocal cords with his inner energy, allowing his voice to spread out so that everyone in the Taihe Hall square could hear it.

The one who heard the news of inheriting the throne was the unknown seventeenth prince, Li Xuanqing.

A prince born to a palace maid.

The eldest prince and the third prince were immediately displeased.

They had already guessed the Empress's intentions: to protect herself, she wanted to install a puppet prince on the throne so she could control the government.

"The will is fake; you forged it."

"You're just worried that if we take over, we'll settle scores with your Xu family, so you're preparing to support a puppet prince to the throne."

"Hand over the real will."

Li Wukong shouted loudly.

“Commander Nie, because of the existence of the Demon Queen, the people of the world are already suffering. You are not someone who aids and abets evil.”

"You must have some weakness that the Empress Dowager has in her hands, which is why you have no choice but to listen to her."

“You are the person the Emperor trusts most, so you must know where the real imperial edict is.”

"For the sake of the nation and the people, Commander Nie, please bring it out."

When Li Yanliang realized he couldn't win over the Empress, he kept calling her a "demon empress."

He believed there was a fake imperial edict. He thought that his father must have left a will, but the empress dowager did not approve of it, so she forged a fake one.

If the will truly states that he is the heir to the throne, then he is rightfully in line.

If it wasn't written about him, but about the eldest prince, then he would have no choice but to steal it.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this imperial edict is not a forgery, it is genuine."

"His Majesty has chosen the seventeenth prince."

"I hope the two princes will not be so stubborn and will quickly lay down their weapons and surrender. Her Majesty the Empress is magnanimous and will spare your lives."

After Nie Yang finished speaking, he put away the imperial edict and retreated behind the Empress.

"Hahaha……"

When the eldest prince saw that Nie Yang was devoted to the Demon Queen, he burst into laughter.

"As expected of the Demon Queen, your methods are extraordinary. It's a pity that you are not surnamed Li, nor are you a man."

"This means that everything you want is just wishful thinking."

Li Wukong mocked.

When Xu Yunxue heard this disrespectful remark about women, she neither refuted it nor spoke.

He just looked at Li Wukong calmly.

Li Wukong was annoyed to see that Xu Yunxue's gaze was completely unwavering, making him feel as if the Empress Dowager was treating him like a clown.

"Hmph, tonight I will show you what I'm capable of."

"kill"

Li Wukong couldn't wait any longer and immediately gave the order to fight.

"Kill" "Charge"

"..."

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's order, his men seemed to unleash the evil within them.

Most people rushed towards the Third Prince's camp, while a small number rushed up the stairs.

"Kill him! Whoever can cut off his head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households..."

Li Yanliang pointed his sword in the direction of the eldest prince and shouted.

Upon hearing the Third Prince's order, his men went berserk.

Most people fought each other, while a small number rushed up the stairs.

"Block them, don't let them rush up."

Nie Yang and Fan Hongyan respectively commanded the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to guard the steps and prevent the First Prince and the Third Prince's men from rushing up.

Because they were on the steps, holding shields to form a shield formation, with long spears thrusting outwards from inside, and they were attacking from a high position.

This creates a defensive posture that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, easily blocking those who rush in.

"Ignore the Demon Queen, deal with them first, then deal with the Demon Queen."

Seeing that many of his men had been stabbed to death on the steps by the Empress's men, Li Wukong ordered his men to deal with the Third Prince's men first.

Li Yanliang knew that the eldest prince posed a great threat, so he also ordered his men to ignore the demon queen and deal with the eldest prince's people first.

Xu Yunxue saw the First Prince and the Third Prince's troops retreat, ignoring her, and the two sides fought each other, which was exactly what she wanted.

As the battle continued...

Both sides were bloodthirsty and ready to fight.

As a result, more and more people on both sides fell.

Li Yanliang's expression changed slightly, because the eldest prince had more men than him, resulting in a higher death toll on his side during the battle.

"Senior Xue, I'm begging you."

Knowing the situation was unfavorable to him, Li Yanliang pleaded with the man on his left who was wearing a black straw hat to cover his face.

hear the words
The mysterious man wearing a black straw hat took it off.

Not only did he reveal his true colors, but he also exuded the aura of a half-step grandmaster.

"It's him"

As soon as the half-step Grandmaster appeared, Xu Yunxue knew the other party's information.

Blackwater City

One of the Five Great Rakshasa
Xue Jun
Her expression remained unchanged; it was perfectly normal for the prince to invite a half-step Grandmaster to assist him.

"Senior Wan, I'm begging you."

Seeing that the Third Prince couldn't hold on and revealed his trump card, Li Wukong also revealed his own.

hear the words
The mysterious masked man to his left also removed his mask, revealing an aura of a half-step grandmaster.

"Sword Burial, Ten Thousand Returns to One?"

"You're insane! As a prince, you actually invited the third most wanted person on the Ghostwriters' wanted list."

Li Yanliang was somewhat indignant to see that the eldest prince had even invited a wanted criminal to help him.

"each other"

"Isn't Blackwater City also a lawless area, a gathering place for wanted criminals from surrounding countries? You even invited their people, so what's wrong with me inviting Senior Wan?"

Li Wukong couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't forget your promise."

When Wan Guiyi saw that his opponent was Xue Jun, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he thought that it wasn't a life-or-death situation, and as long as he could hold off the opponent, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Rest assured, once I sit in that position, I will absolutely keep my promise to you."

Li Wukong assured him.

"Boom"

Upon hearing this, Wan Guiyi took the initiative to rush towards Xue Jun.

"I hate fighting against people of the same level."

Xue Jun grumbled and then went to greet Wan Guiyi.

"bump"

The moment the two collided, those around them were doomed.

They were either blasted away by the shockwave or torn into pieces by the sword energy.

Perhaps both of them knew that their battle would affect others, so they moved away from the crowd and jumped onto the palace wall to fight.
