Chapter 587
On the top floor of the five-story Crescent Pavilion, a noble and mature woman anxiously looked at the front of the palace. This cold and elegant woman was the Princess Royal. At this time, she was looking at the front hall, seemingly wanting to see if the battle had started in the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It had to be said that the palace was very big. The distance between the harem and the front hall was estimated to be about two miles. She really didn’t know what Ouyang Tiande was thinking. It would probably take a lot of time to return to the harem after the court.
Wouldn’t it be a hindrance for him to have fun with the three thousand concubines in the harem?
“Eh?”
Ouyang Yufeng, who was looking at the front, suddenly made a sound of surprise. Her worried eyes suddenly became sharp, and a shocked expression appeared on her face, as if it was very unbelievable.
There were two groups of people appearing in Ouyang Yufeng’s sight. One group was very small in number. There was only a huge Lion King and a man in black and a woman in green on its back. They were located on the right side of the palace. The other group had hundreds of people. From their running speed, it could be seen that they were all high-level warriors or super warriors.
“The Lion King?
This … Why did Xiao Chen rush into the harem?
Is it because of Qingwu?
He really is a good man! ”
When Ouyang Yufeng saw the Lion King, she was slightly stunned. Then she was surprised to think that Xiao Chen had come to Dongfang Qingwu. A gratified smile appeared on her face. “Qingwu, you really followed a good man. Xiao Chen rushed into the harem for you. Even Master is envious of you, hehe.”
Shifting her gaze from the Lion King to the hundreds of powerful cultivators, Ouyang Yufeng furrowed her brows. She knew very well that this group of powerful cultivators must have been led by Ouyang Tiande to hunt down Xiao Chen and the Lion King. What surprised her was why Xiao Chen did not enter the main hall but instead charged straight into the harem?
Ouyang Yufeng saw that both parties were rushing towards the New Moon Pavilion at full speed, and instantly understood a lot. She sighed with emotion, “Xiao Chen, that brat, is indeed not easy to deal with. He actually discovered Her Majesty’s plot in advance. Thus, he did not enter the main hall to face Her Majesty, but headed towards the back palace.”
“But how can Xiao Chen be sure that Qing Wu is in the harem and not in the main hall?
Could it be that he had guessed correctly? Or perhaps he had deduced it?
The bloodline of the Xiao Family is indeed not simple. Not only are they strong, they are also extraordinarily intelligent. Xiao Chen, you are truly a mysterious man. No wonder Qing Wu is so infatuated with you … ”
Ouyang Yufeng had a lot of doubts in her heart. The situation in front of her made her feel puzzled. Initially, she thought that Xiao Chen would enter the main hall which was like an inescapable net, but now, Xiao Chen was heading straight for the New Moon Pavilion. She did not believe that anyone from the palace would come forward to rescue Ouyang Tiande. It could only mean that Xiao Chen had a mysterious and special instinct, or that the Lion King had discovered Ouyang Tiande’s plot.
However —
The reason wasn’t important anymore. What was important was that nothing happened to Xiao Chen, and Ouyang Tiande was approaching the New Moon Pavilion first. As long as Xiao Chen killed his way to the New Moon Pavilion, he would be able to rescue Dongfang Qing Wu. Of course, whether or not he could escape from the palace was another question.
“I should wake Qing Wu up. Otherwise, if her man saw her unconscious, he would definitely misunderstand that I was the one who hurt her. Then, it would be hard to explain.”
Ouyang Yufeng saw that the Lion King was getting closer and closer. At the same time, she could faintly see the cold face of Xiao Chen. She mumbled to herself and turned to go downstairs to the third floor.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
More than a dozen Celestial Phenomenon experts flashed in front of the Lion King. They all raised their weapons and slashed out with lightning speed. In an instant, more than a dozen sword or saber rays that were more than ten feet long and more than a foot wide were intertwined with each other, forming a circular structure that headed towards the Lion King.
These dozen Celestial Phenomenon experts were secretly ordered by Ouyang Tiande to guard the New Moon Pavilion. It was equivalent to putting everyone in the New Moon Pavilion under house arrest. If anyone dared to come out, they would attack with full force. Even if it was Ouyang Yufeng and the rest, they would not hesitate to attack.
Xiao Chen saw that the enemy had appeared in front of him and was attacking his side. He did not feel nervous at all. He coldly ordered, “Da Huang, defend and dodge!
Fengsha Sword attack!
Kill without mercy! ”
“Roar!”
The Lion King let out a loud roar. Red light burst out from his body and instantly formed a Desolation Energy Shield around his body, enveloping Xiao Chen, Ouyang Chuchu, and himself. After that, he moved a dozen feet to the side to avoid the enemy’s attack.
“Yin!”
At the same time that the Lion King moved, the Fengsha Sword flew out from Xiao Chen’s storage ring and directly shot towards the dozen Celestial Phenomenon experts that were a hundred feet away. The speed was so fast that one could not even see the sword’s shadow. One could only faintly see a red light traversing through the air. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the vicinity of the enemy.
“Ah?
What’s that?
Danger!
Run! ”
Those ten plus Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants could faintly sense an extremely terrifying object rapidly closing in on them. Their gazes turned to a beam of red light and they were all stunned for a moment before their countenances drastically changed. They screamed in terror as they turned and fled for their lives.
However, was there any use in escaping?
If the Celestial Phenomenon experts could escape, then the Fengsha Sword would not be a peerless sword but a rotten wooden sword.
“Pfft pfft pfft!”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The Fengsha Sword instantly caught up with the nearest enemy and directly pierced through the enemy’s chest, crushing the enemy’s heart. After that, the enemy’s entire body exploded into minced meat and a mist of blood. After killing an enemy, the Fengsha Sword’s speed did not decrease and continued to kill the next enemy.
“Boom!”
In less than twenty breaths of time, the last enemy was easily killed by the Fengsha Sword. The Fengsha Sword returned to Xiao Chen’s side and hid in his storage ring. It was Xiao Chen’s trump card. Other than in battle, it should not be exposed to the outside world. Otherwise, it would lose its mysterious feeling and would not be able to achieve the purpose of sneak attacking a peerless expert.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The Lion King easily dodged the joint attack of more than a dozen Celestial Phenomenon experts. Seeing that the Fengsha Sword had finished off the enemy, he continued to rush towards the New Moon Court which was a few hundred feet away. The Lion King’s perception was extremely strong and he had already sensed the presence of Dongfang Qingwu.
“It’s too late!
Xiao Chen has already reached the New Moon Court! ”
When Ouyang Tiande heard the explosion, his face turned even uglier. He knew that Xiao Chen and the Lion King had already engaged in a battle with the Dark Guards who were guarding outside the New Moon Court. The Dark Guards were definitely dead.
There was no use in thinking and no use in regretting. Since they couldn’t intercept Xiao Chen and the Lion King, they could only take a step back and resort to besieging them. Hence, Ouyang Tiande shouted, “Everyone, prepare to besiege them!
Make Xiao Chen and the Lion King stay in the New Moon Court forever!
Whoever kills Xiao Chen and the Lion King, as long as one of them is killed, I will reward him with 100 million taels of purple gold and the title of the Great General of the Protector of the Nation! ”
Money makes the devil turn the millstone!
Power makes the devil turn the millstone!
“Kill Xiao Chen!
Kill the Lion King!
Long live His Majesty! ”
When Ouyang Tiande proposed such a tempting reward, the hundreds of experts including the four State Advisors were extremely tempted. All of them looked as though they were injected with chicken blood as they roared in excitement. They couldn’t help but increase their pace as they rushed towards the New Moon Court which was a few hundred feet away.
“Roar!”
The Lion King, carrying Xiao Chen and the Lion King, sent the two guards flying, then charged into the courtyard of the New Moon Court without a care in the world. When he saw that there were more than twenty powerful cultivators standing in front of the building, he stopped in his tracks and let out a menacing roar that shook the sky. It was an awe-inspiring sight.
