Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 35 Immortal! There is an immortal in the Northern King's Mansion!

At Liu Yuan's command, the Blood Moon Tower members immediately surged into the Northern King's Mansion.

Just as the Blood Moon Tower members arrived at the training ground, countless arrows flew down from the sky.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly, "Hey OP! We've fallen for their trap!"

Looking at the rain of arrows from the sky, Liu Yuan showed no panic whatsoever. He merely snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing but a death throes!"

A ninth-rank martial artist cannot be killed by a rain of arrows, especially since he is a half-step grandmaster who can already project his internal energy.

These arrows had no chance of hitting him, and even if they did, they wouldn't cause him any harm.

In his eyes, this kind of ambush and sneak attack was nothing more than a petty trick.

Liu Yuan immediately said, "Approach me immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Moon Tower members immediately turned their backs to each other and began to swing their swords continuously to block the rain of arrows flying from the sky.

Lu Chen was stunned when he saw this.

Damn it, is this the world where martial arts exist? Last time when he came to Beijun to take up his fief, he was in the carriage and did not witness his personal guards blocking the rain of arrows.

This scene today deeply impressed him.

Without using a shield, how could one possibly withstand a hail of arrows with just a sword?

Although some people were not completely blocked and were still shot to death, most of the Blood Moon Tower members survived.

Today's scene also made Lu Chen realize how important the fragmentation grenades the system gave him were.

Without grenades, the small number of people in their palace would probably have no way to deal with the Blood Moon Tower assassins.

At this moment, Lu Chen also felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, the system's newbie gift pack contained modern weapons like grenades.

The soldiers of the Prince's Palace had just finished firing their arrows when Liu Yuan looked at the distant rooftops and said mockingly, "You think you can kill us with just a few arrows? Isn't the Prince of the North being a bit too naive!"

Lu Chen had no intention of wasting words with Liu Yuan. He directly told Li Feng and the others, "Ignore them, throw the grenades, pull the pins, and hold for three breaths!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng and the others quickly took out the hand grenades from their pockets.

At this moment, the soldiers holding the grenades couldn't help but tremble slightly, after all, they had witnessed the power of such weapons.

They were afraid that they might accidentally forget to throw the grenade.

If they hadn't been thrown out, they probably would have been the ones who died.

Seeing how nervous the soldiers were, Lu Chen said, "Don't worry, you won't be affected!"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Li Feng pulled the pin on the grenade in his hand, and after holding it for less than two seconds, he threw it forcefully into the crowd of Blood Moon Tower members.

Although Li Feng was a seventh-rank martial artist, he was still very nervous when using a weapon like a hand grenade.

Lu Chen originally wanted them to detonate the grenades in the air, but no one knew if the martial artists would kick them back. If they did, they would be in trouble.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan and the others didn't think much of it when Li Feng threw the grenade into the crowd.

They thought it was a stone thrown by the Northern Prince's Mansion, and they easily dodged the grenade that Li Feng threw.

Liu Yuan mocked again, "Hahaha, has the Northern Prince's Mansion become so poor that they have no arrows and can only throw stones?"

However, just as Liu Yuan finished speaking, a loud bang exploded in the crowd.

boom……

As a cloud of white smoke rose, people around were either dead or injured, and the scene was filled with wails of agony.

Upon witnessing this scene, the people of Blood Moon Tower were stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until the second grenade exploded in the crowd that the warriors of Blood Moon Tower began to flee in all directions as if they had gone mad.

"Heavens! It's lightning!"

"Run! Someone in the Northern Prince's Mansion can summon heavenly lightning!"

"An immortal! There is an immortal in the Northern King's Mansion!"

……

Seeing the Blood Moon Tower members fleeing in all directions, Liu Yuan gripped his broadsword tightly and roared with all his might, "Stop right there! Anyone who tries to escape will be killed!"

Before Liu Yuan could finish speaking, a soldier from the Prince's Palace threw a grenade toward his location.

Liu Yuan wasn't stupid; he already understood that this was the thing that had just exploded. Although he didn't know why it had such destructive power, he knew very well that it was dangerous.

Liu Yuan quickly pushed off with both legs, and his body retreated ten steps.

However, after the grenade exploded, a piece of shrapnel grazed right past his leg, causing it to bleed.

Liu Yuan was considered relatively lucky. The ninth-rank martial artist who was closest to Liu Yuan was directly hit by the grenade and was instantly blown up with more than a dozen bloody holes.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuan's body couldn't help but tremble.

Without a doubt, he was afraid.

He had never seen such a strange weapon before.

It looked like just a stone, but after it exploded, it was able to kill a ninth-rank martial artist instantly.

This completely overturned his understanding!

He had never heard of such a weapon before!

How could such a weapon possibly exist in this world!

If that dynasty possessed such a weapon, it would probably have unified the world long ago!

at the same time.

The backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

When Wang Qingci and the people from Baihualou arrived at the backyard of the Wang Mansion, they also heard a series of loud explosions.

Hearing those sounds, Wang Qingci was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Chen Yu, who was beside her, said, "Holy Maiden, it looks like it's going to rain soon. That will be perfect for covering our movements."

Chen Yu thought the rumbling sound was thunder, but Wang Qingci clearly didn't think so.

Although the clouds were indeed quite thick tonight, the sound clearly didn't come from the sky, and it had a strong echo.

Something must have happened in the front yard.

It seems the Northern King has quite a few secrets.

At this moment, one of the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion suddenly warned, "Holy Maiden, someone's here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion became alert.

Their main purpose in coming to the back gate of the Prince's mansion was to block the Prince of the North's escape route. The fact that someone was at the back gate meant that the Prince of the North and his men were preparing to escape.

Just when everyone in the Misty Rain Pavilion thought they were about to see the servants of the Northern Prince's Mansion who had escaped, they discovered a beautiful woman dressed in a light blue cloud-patterned dress with her hair styled in a cloud-like bun slowly walking to the back gate.

The people from Yanyu Pavilion immediately recognized the woman; she was none other than Chu Yuqin, the publicly acknowledged ninth-rank expert of the Northern Prince's Mansion.

When Chen Yu and the other assassins from Yanyu Pavilion saw Chu Yuqin appear in the backyard, they were stunned.

Chu Yuqin, a ninth-rank expert, is not by the Northern King's side to protect him. Why is she running to the backyard at this time?

What's going on?

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in people's hearts.

Chu Yuqin asked coldly, "Where is Miss Wang planning to go so late?"

Wang Qingci replied with a smile, "I came to the Northern Prince's residence to serve Your Highness, of course."

Chu Yuqin snorted coldly and said, "Does it really take so many people to serve Chen'er?"

At this moment, Chen Yu stepped forward and immediately walked in front of Wang Qingci. "Holy Maiden, please go to the front courtyard and check the situation! I sense something is wrong. I'll hold them off..."

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, he felt a chill on his back, followed by a sharp pain that swept through his entire body.

Chen Yu lowered his head slightly, somewhat unable to believe the sword blade in his chest.

She turned her head and saw that the one who killed her was actually Wang Qingci!

"Holy Maiden...you..."

Wang Qingci then drew his sword, and before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Chen Yu collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion were stunned by what they saw.

They never dreamed that their saint would turn against their own people at this time.

At this moment, Wang Qingci said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, I would like to trouble you to help me get rid of these people and prevent them from escaping."

Upon hearing Wang Qingci's words, even the most foolish assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion realized that Wang Qingci had betrayed the Eighth Prince!

One of them shouted, "Everyone, run! We must spread the news of the Holy Maiden's betrayal!"

After saying that, the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion fled in several directions.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin merely glanced at them coldly.

Soon, more than a dozen corpses appeared at the back gate of the Prince's Mansion.
