Evil of all ages

Chapter 210 is not on the same level.
Li Wukong ordered his men to finish off the immobilized enemy on the ground, then walked up to Li Yanliang in a victorious manner.

He patted Li Yanliang's face while saying this, looking incredibly arrogant.

This act of slapping Li Yanliang's face was not only not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

But he couldn't do anything; he was immobile and unable to speak.

He could only glare fiercely at Li Wukong, as if his eyes were weapons capable of slowly and agonizingly killing him.

Or perhaps he did it on purpose, deliberately using that look to provoke Li Wukong, hoping Li Wukong would kill him and spare him further humiliation.

Seeing Li Yanliang looking at him with that kind of gaze, Li Wukong became increasingly smug and deliberately leaned close to Li Yanliang's ear.

"Don't worry, I will make sure my men treat your wives and concubines well."

"As for your children, you know what I mean."

Li Wukong said.

"Woohoo~"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanliang became agitated.

A hint of pleading finally appeared in his eyes.

"Don't blame me. If you had won today, you would have gone even further than me."

"This is the way of the victors and the vanquished..."

After Li Wukong finished speaking, he waved for someone to take Li Yanliang aside and have them keep an eye on him.

He turned to look at the enchantress on the steps.

"I will give you one more chance to have your men lay down their weapons and surrender."

"I will let you live, and I will make you my plaything."

"Otherwise, you won't just become my plaything. Every man here has the chance to taste you."

At this point, Li Wukong had become so arrogant that he no longer cared about anything.

It was as if he had already won over the Demon Queen.

It was as if he were already the emperor, and he could do whatever he wanted.

When Fan Hongyan and the others heard the eldest prince utter such disrespectful words, they all lowered their heads slightly, thinking that the eldest prince was truly courting death.

Commander Nie

Xu Yunxue remained expressionless, completely unaffected by Li Wukong's words.

He ignored Li Wukong and softly called out to Commander Nie.

Nie Yang understood and took two steps forward.

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

He raised his hands and clapped them three times.

When his applause rang out

"tread"

"tread"

"..."

The imperial guards who had been lying in ambush nearby surged out.

It completely surrounds the Taihe Hall Square.

Not only the Imperial Guards, but also a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Li Wukong's expression hardened when he saw so many Imperial Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards pouring out.

The entire Imperial Guard only numbered 10,000. Ye Huaming, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, took 3,000 men with him, leaving 7,000 men in total.

But the Imperial Guards here number at least 15,000.

Where did the empress get so many imperial guards?
The same goes for the Embroidered Uniform Guard; how did they increase their numbers to nearly eight thousand?

His troops had suffered heavy losses due to the fighting between his forces and the Third Prince's forces.

The current situation is that the Demon Queen has slightly more people than him.

Where did you get so many people from?

Li Wukong couldn't contain himself and asked.

"Where is this?"

As soon as Xu Yunxue finished speaking, three thousand disciples of the Moonflower Palace, dressed in uniform, appeared on the surrounding palace walls.

Lu Yilian, a half-step Grandmaster, also appeared behind Xu Yunxue.

Not finished

"tread"

"tread"

"..."

A series of steady footsteps approached.

West Gate direction
Xu Yushu led the disciples of Qingyun Palace, one of the seven most prestigious martial arts sects, over.

The disciples of Qingyun Palace also wear uniform clothing.

They are easily recognizable; one glance is enough to tell they are from Qingyun Palace.

Unlike other sects, Qingyun Palace does not use the common distinction between second-generation and third-generation disciples to differentiate its internal disciples.

They directly use the terms outer disciples, inner disciples, elite disciples, core disciples, and personal disciples to distinguish between them.

Judging from their attire, all five hundred people who came were inner disciples.

Walking alongside Xu Yushu was Chen Fengqing, one of the three Supreme Elders of Qingyun Palace.

It's just like a supreme elder leading five hundred inner disciples out for training, or out to see bloodshed. "Why?"

"Why would your Qingyun Palace choose to aid and abet evil rather than lend me a hand?"

When Li Wukong saw the people from Qingyun Palace, his emotions surged. He had previously asked Shen Zhonghe to invite many sects in the martial arts world to lend him a hand.

Two statues and seven peaks represent the highest level of invitation.

But they were all rejected.

He was puzzled that Qingyun Palace, who had refused him, had appeared here, and as an enemy at that.

Why not choose him, but choose the empress dowager instead?

Wan Guiyi noticed that there was a half-step Grandmaster beside the Empress, and the Minister of Revenue brought another one, so the two sides were now evenly matched in terms of the number of half-step Grandmasters.

However, in order to capture the Third Prince's protector, both he and the First Prince's protectors suffered losses, in addition to the Empress's large number of followers.

This made him feel a sense of crisis.

I have a feeling I've chosen the wrong side.

Seeing this, Li Yanliang, who was unable to move after having his acupoints pressed, was delighted.

Li Wukong wasn't smug before, but can he still be so smug now?
When Chen Fengqing heard the eldest prince questioning their Qingyun Palace, he ignored him, as if the actions of their Qingyun Palace did not require explanation to anyone.

"Your Highness, surrender!"

"You can't beat us."

Xu Yushu said calmly.

"surrender?"

"Hmph, you only have a few more people than us, it doesn't mean you'll definitely win."

"Who will have the last laugh is still unknown."

How could Li Wukong possibly surrender and hand his life over to the enemy?

Especially after he surrendered to the empress's foul language, he didn't think she would be magnanimous enough to let him go.

Even if there are fewer people, he still has a chance to win, so why wouldn't he take the risk?

"is it?"

Xu Yushu sneered.

Li Wukong felt uneasy when he saw the cold smile on Xu Yushu's lips.

Then his premonition came true.

"lie"

"lie"

"..."

A familiar scene happened.

His men fell one by one, just like the Third Prince's men.

"how is this possible?"

"who is it?"

Li Wukong was filled with fear. It was because the Shadow Pavilion assassins had drugged the Third Prince's men that they had turned the Third Prince's forces into spineless cowards.

Who betrayed him from within his own ranks?
Before he could even think, a familiar scene unfolded before him.

“Pu”

"tear"

"..."

They were assassins from the Shadow Pavilion, along with his guards and retainers. Those who were supposed to fall have all fallen.

However, not a single soldier from the Imperial Guards led by Ye Huaming, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, fell.

Because these imperial guards ate food from the palace and not from his residence, they were not infected.

The assassins from the Shadow Pavilion targeted these Imperial Guards and carried out their killings.

Because the assassins from the Shadow Pavilion had just finished killing the Third Prince's men, no one was on guard against them, resulting in heavy casualties among Ye Huaming's men.

By the time Ye Huaming realized what was happening and tried to command the Imperial Guards in battle, it was too late.

After fighting the Third Prince's forces, less than two thousand Imperial Guards remained, and now only three or four hundred are left.

"Kong-Kuang-Feng"

Li Wukong roared directly at the deputy commander of the Shadow Pavilion.

"Why did they betray me? Did they give you more than I did?"

Li Wukong said angrily.

"No, so far, no one has given more than the First Prince."

East Gate direction
Xu Ming arrived with a large number of assassins.

When Li Wukong saw that An Shihou had also arrived, he frowned, wondering how An Shihou knew about the inner workings of the Shadow Pavilion.
"Don't you understand?"

"Because I am the Lord of Shadows, the leader of the Shadow Pavilion."

Xu Ming said with a smile.

"you……"

"you……"

Li Wukong looked at Xu Ming, then at Xu Yushu, and then at the Demon Queen. He was filled with resentment.
"No, that's not right."

"How could your Shadow Pavilion assassins, stationed at the Third Prince's residence, possibly have the opportunity to drug me in my own home?"

"How did my people get infected?"
