Chapter 114: Disrupting the Palace Formation

The young eunuch trembled, saying, "Your Highness, surely you do not mean to..." Ye Chengbo abruptly turned around, his eyes bloodshot, filled with boundless resentment.

"It was Father Emperor who forced me!

Ye Chengyan committed a grave mistake and was imprisoned, yet he still managed to marry the daughter of the Minister of Justice.

But what about me?

Why must I marry the daughter of an Ying Lord?"

The entire court knew that the Zhang family held only an empty title, insignificant in the political arena!

Talented and beautiful as his daughter may be, without power or influence, she would be subject to disdain and mistreatment!

The young eunuch gritted his teeth, wanting to dissuade him. "Your Highness, perhaps His Majesty will support the Zhang family in the future. But by doing this today, you can never turn back."

"Instead of living in submission, I would rather take a gamble! Father Emperor is heartless, but I cannot let Mother Consort suffer in the cold palace any longer."

After Ye Chengbo finished speaking, he resolutely headed towards the imperial palace.

He had long secretly discovered the key points of the formation.

As he approached a man-made mountain, he could go no further.

Because Nanli had placed a restriction here, forbidding anyone from approaching to protect the palace’s formation key point.

Ye Chengbo hesitated for barely a moment before taking out a yellow talisman and throwing it.

The restriction stirred.

The air trembled!

The restriction resisted for a moment before being shattered by the talisman’s seal!

However, this attracted the imperial guards, and several of them rushed over, seeing that it was Ye Chengbo, they shouted, "Second Prince, what are you planning to do!"

Ye Chengbo chuckled lightly, his smile cruel and cold.

"Naturally, I am here to destroy the key point."

The faces of the imperial guards changed, and they immediately drew their swords, intending to apprehend Ye Chengbo.

Because the Emperor had already ordered that no one was allowed to break the key point!

Ye Chengbo snorted coldly and once again threw several talismans.

Without exception, all the imperial guards were annihilated.

One by one, their heads fell to the ground, blood staining the earth.

The young eunuch trembled all over.

At this moment, he understood that his master now had only one path to take.

That was to destroy the key point!

Ye Chengbo took out his final talisman and slapped it onto the key point.

A fierce wind blew, rustling his clothes.

He, with limited knowledge, naturally couldn’t tell that the formation had already been broken.

But this gust of wind told him that he had succeeded!

Today, the palace was under his control!

Outside the palace.

Xuanyuan Qingyue’s face was filled with joy.

"Cang’er, the formation has been broken!"

"Ye Chengbo truly lives up to expectations," Xuanyuan Cang said, his mouth curling into a smile.

Behind them were the Shadow Guards of Jiang Country.

At Xuanyuan Cang’s command, dozens of Shadow Guards cleared the way for him.

However, the Mu Nation’s imperial guards were not to be trifled with.

Upon seeing someone’s attacking, they immediately drew their swords to defend.

At the same time, they shouted to close the palace gates.

But just as they were about to close the gates, a strange whistle sounded, and creatures larger than fists suddenly flew towards them.

These creatures resembled bees but had eight legs, each with sharp and poisonous spikes.

As they flew, their wings buzzed, producing an unusually fast speed.

The imperial guards could kill one, but they couldn’t simultaneously kill ten.

With a single sting, the guards were poisoned and fell to the ground, losing their lives instantly.

One of the guards, with some knowledge, shouted, "It’s a monster! It seems to be the Eight-Legged Demon Bee!"

He had seen it in the records of monsters.

But this was a creature that existed thousands of years ago.

Why would it appear here today?

Xuanyuan Cang raised an eyebrow, not expecting that there would still be someone in this world who knew about the Eight-Legged Demon Bee.

The ancestors of the Jiang had put in great effort to preserve a few Eight-Legged Demon Bees, and after countless years of nurturing and cultivation, they had managed to breed hundreds of them.

These demon bees could wipe out a well-trained army in a short amount of time!

Without the formation’s restrictions, the monsters advanced unhindered.

With the assistance of the Eight-Legged Demon Bees, not only were the imperial guards unable to close the palace gates, but they were also directly defeated.

Xuanyuan Cang, accompanied by his daughter, Xuanyuan Qingyue, entered the palace, gazing up at the magnificent and grandiose palace of the Mu Nation.

He tilted his head slightly, filled with excitement, and exclaimed, "My dear daughter, soon our kingdom’s flag will fly high in the territory of Mu."

Xuanyuan Qingyue narrowed her eyes and replied, "Unfortunately, in order to achieve our goals, we had to divert Chu Nanli. What I desire most is her life."

"No worries, as long as we capture her family, she will have no choice but to appear," reassured Xuanyuan Cang. "By eliminating Ye Siheng today, you will finally find some relief."

Only then did Xuanyuan Qingyue nod, intimately linking her arm with Xuanyuan Cang’s.

She spoke softly, "I want to dismember him and display his scattered remains on the city walls, so that the people of Mu can witness that their revered war deity is nothing more than a mere mortal."

Xuanyuan Cang affectionately tapped her nose and said, "We shall do as you say, my dear."

The two exchanged smiles.

With the assistance of the eight-armed demonic bee, the imperial guards were forced to retreat, and Xuanyuan Cang and his entourage advanced directly towards the Qianlong Palace.

News had already reached the imperial court that someone had infiltrated the palace with a demonic creature.

Emperor Muwu trembled in fear, his voice quivering, "How did this happen? Didn’t the girl Nanli say she had set up protective measures?"

"Even protective measures are not foolproof," replied Ye Siheng calmly.

Inside the Qianlong Palace, the crowd was filled with terror.

Although Chu Hanlin and other generals were not afraid, they were unarmed upon entering the palace. Even if they had weapons, could they truly contend with the

demonic creatures?

Despite his fear, Emperor Muwu, accompanied by Ye Siheng, approached the entrance of the hall.

At that moment, Ye Chengno returned from the side corridor. Emperor Muwu hurriedly called out, "Bo’er, come back quickly!"

Ye Chengbo glanced at the imposing presence of Xuanyuan Cang and his companions before shifting his gaze, teasingly saying, "Father Emperor, why should I go back? Should I go back and await death?"

Emperor Muwu was stunned.

Ye Siheng remained expressionless as he said, "Imperial Brother, there’s no need to call him back. I believe he must have been the one who destroyed the formation."

Emperor Muwu, shocked and angry, asked, "Did you truly destroy the formation?"

Step by step,Ye Chengbo approached Xuanyuan Cang, saying, "Father Emperor, you don’t know how difficult it was to find that formation. And even after finding it, we had to bring Master Xue into the palace to determine the appropriate talisman to break it. Ninth Prince, your fiancée is truly formidable. Master Xue nearly coughed up blood while drawing those talisman, sacrificing half of his life."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Muwu’s expression grew even darker. "You treacherous son!"

At this moment, anyone could see that Ye Chengbo had long conspired with the enemy, not only framing the Crown Prince, but also besieging the palace, intending to take their lives!

"Father Emperor, if you must blame someone, blame yourself for being heartless! You abolished my mother, exiled the Li family, and now you want me to marry the daughter of the Zhang family!" Ye Chengbo’s gaze turned fierce. "I had no choice but to cooperate with the ruler of the Jiang Kingdom. Listen, all ministers present, those who submit to me today shall be spared!"

The courtiers erupted in chaos.

Some berated Ye Chengbo for his disloyalty and treasonous intentions.

Others showed fear, clearly considering submit to Ye Chengbo in order to save their lives.

However, before they could make a decision, Xuanyuan Cang ordered his shadow guards to apprehend them.

He sneered, "You have no soldiers or troops at your disposal, yet you dare speak of cooperation with me?"

Xuanyuan Qingyue added, "It’s truly laughable. We have an abundance of talent in the Jiang Kingdom and have no need for defectors. The people in the Qianlong Palace are all doomed."

Emperor Muwu’s eyes widened, finally understanding.

"You... you are people from the Jiang Kingdom?!"
