Chapter 174: Chapter 44: The Sixth Prince of Daxia

Before a formidable Commander of the Imperial Guard, towering and crudely built, his eyes bloodshot, an aura of evil emanating all over, held a massive axe in his hand, exuding immense might.

When the Commander of the Imperial Guard got a clear look at Ye Lingyue, he was taken aback.

How is it a young girl?

Was it actually a female warrior with no more than Postnatal cultivation who had just shot down dozens of arrows with a burst of energy?

A master of the Elixir Realm, Ye Lingyue inwardly exclaimed in shock, and also realized that she had barged into none other than Empress’s Chaohua Palace, not some cold palace.

"This is a misunderstanding, sir. I am Ye Lingyue, the second young miss of the Lan Residence. I was summoned by the Empress Dowager to meet her in the palace. It was only because it was late and the path was unclear that I mistakenly entered Chaohua Palace with no intention of disrespect," Ye Lingyue finally understood the malicious intent of Noble Princess Consort Luo and the others.

They wanted to use the hands of the Empress to kill by proxy.

Noble Princess Consort Luo knew well in advance that within the Empress’s palace, guarded by the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Chi Yan, a master of the Elixir Mirror, with an explosive temper and a fierce disposition, who would mercilessly kill any palace maids or eunuchs that broke into Chaohua Palace without permission—no less than fifty or sixty people have been killed by his hand.

Noble Princess Consort Luo straightforwardly stated Ye Lingyue was a Postnatal Martial Artist, who would undoubtedly die at the hands of Chi Yan. In reality, if Ye Lingyue weren’t fortuitously an Alchemist, she would have truly died this evening under the hidden arrows and the axe of Chi Yan.

"You’re saying you’re the second daughter of the Invincible General? I seem to recall hearing that the Lan Family recently gained a second young miss, who was also titled Commandery Princess by the Empress Dowager," the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard murmured, sizing up Ye Lingyue. "Your fighting stance does resemble Lan Yingwu’s—both fierce and ruthless."

"If you still don’t believe me, sir, I have here the Empress Dowager’s token." Ye Lingyue said, presenting the token.

"Sir Chi Yan, there’s trouble, the Empress she..."

Just as Deputy Commander Chi Yan was inspecting Ye Lingyue’s token, a palace maid stumbled over.

Her chest was covered in blood. By the time she reached Deputy Commander Chi Yan, she could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Upon seeing the palace maid’s condition, Deputy Commander Chi Yan’s expression drastically changed, and he threw Ye Lingyue’s token back at her.

"Leave Chaohua Palace immediately, and remember, no one is to speak of what happened here, otherwise, death will be your punishment."

Without another word, Deputy Commander Chi Yan along with several guards hastily flew towards the front.

This is... Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows, glancing at the porcelain fragment lying on the chest of the corpse, which still retained a trace of spiritual power on it.

This palace maid, was killed by a master of spiritual power.

Could it be that there’s still a high-level practitioner of spiritual power hidden in Chaohua Palace?

Ye Lingyue considered for a moment, did not immediately leave, but kicked off the ground, and stealthily headed deeper into Chaohua Palace.

Chi Yan and a dozen guards arrived at a side hall, the surroundings already in complete disarray.

Several palace lanterns were scattered on the ground, their flames igniting the lantern shades, and the bodies of several palace maids and eunuchs lay askew, all without exception, their chests punctured by porcelain fragments.

From the side hall, a faint voice staggered and continued to emerge.

"Qiqi... I am your mother..."

Under the dim light of the lanterns, Chi Yan and the others saw a young man.

The young man had long hair that covered his face.

He was not tall, and his frame was slender. His clothes were tattered, the exposed ankles and wrists pale to the point of translucence, and so delicate it seemed like they could break upon touch.

He was choking a woman in palace dress by the neck, heedless of the beautiful woman’s desperate pleas, his fingers gradually tightening, seemingly intent on strangling her to death.

The woman in palace dress was already gasping for air, her eyes filled with sorrow, and her hands dropped, having given up struggling.

"Empress!" Upon seeing this scene, the Deputy Commander of Chi Yan and the others were about to rush inside.

But as they approached the side hall, the young man suddenly lifted his head.

Beneath his long hair, a pair of dark eyes flared like a meteor streaking across the night sky.

A floor-standing vase in the side hall suddenly flew into the air.

The vase exploded with a bang.

Countless fragments, like a pear blossom rainstorm, were sprayed at the guards.

"Fire Cloud Breaking Palm." Chi Yan dared not rush in recklessly, worried about harming the Empress, but seeing the Primordial Power around the young man, fiery and cloudy, forming a barrier of Cloud Sea Primordial Power that blocked the flying vase fragments.

The fragments shattered into powder upon contact with the Primordial Power.

But the young man still refused to stop, his mouth twisting into an eerie smirk.

From his throat, a sharp cry was emitted, and everyone felt as if their heads had been struck, falling to their knees, especially those with cultivation - their heads throbbed painfully.

"Qiqi, stop, they are innocent." The woman in palace dress, shocked and in panic, crawled up, trying to stop the young man, but just as she stood up.

The young man’s gaze turned fierce, and another vase behind him suddenly flew up, smashing towards the woman in palace dress.

"Sixth Prince, that’s the Empress, please show mercy," Chi Yan, holding his head, witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with horror.

Suddenly, an odd yellow smoke billowed.

The young man could only see a blur before his eyes, and the vase missed its target, crashing by his feet.

When the yellow smoke cleared, the side hall was empty, the woman in palace dress was gone, and the guards were gone as well, leaving only debris and bloodstains on the ground.

With a click, several iron bars fell at the door and windows of the side hall, sealing it off completely.

The young man’s throat rolled, emitting a growl akin to that of a wild beast, and he lunged forward, but he couldn’t twist open the specially made iron bars.

Outside the side hall, the woman in palace dress, also known as the present Empress Liu Yunxiu, was supported. She looked up at the person beside her, only to see a girl with an overwhelming presence of Spiritual Energy looking back at her.

"You..." Before she could finish her question, Empress Liu Yunxiu’s vision darkened, and she fainted from exhaustion.

"Empress? Why are you still here?" After leaving the side hall, the headache of Chi Yan and the others subsided, and upon closer inspection, they realized that the person who rescued everyone was none other than Princess Ye, Ye Lingyue, who had returned.

"First, take the Empress inside. Deputy Commander Chi Yan, was that person just now Sixth Prince Xiahou Qi?" Ye Lingyue had not forgotten the obstinate look in the young man’s eyes after the Siamese Ghost Smoke.

The Sixth Prince of Daxia, who should have been Heaven’s Chosen, how did he become like this?

Moreover, he understood spiritual power, and by looking at the way he performed his Spiritual Power Attack, his cultivation of Spiritual Power seemed to be quite deep. Ye Lingyue tentatively estimated that Xiahou Qi’s Spiritual Power Cultivation should be between the Fifth or Sixth Rank, it’s just that he still didn’t quite know how to control Spiritual Power.

After sending the Empress back to her sleeping chamber, Ye Lingyue gave her some clear water to drink, then massaged her with the Qian Cauldron.

Empress Liu’s body was very weak, but fortunately, with the aid of Cauldron Breath provided by Ye Lingyue, her complexion slowly improved and she gradually regained consciousness.
