At the very mont when Prince Xiang’s mansion was rocked by a trendous explosion, Luo Yan instantly transford herself into a bolt of purple-gold lightning, speeding towards the depths of the mansion.
The focus of this operation was to be as ’fast’ as possible, to take control of the situation before the people of Prince Xiang’s mansion could react, leaving them no ti to destroy any evidence.
To achieve this, Leng Yurou utilized thirteen thousand kilograms of explosives and as many as thirty ’Red General Cannons’, in addition to the ’teor Fall’ spell that Xue Yunrou been preparing for a full two hours, along with the formidable power of the high-grade ’fumo sword’. Their aim was to incapacitate the mansion’s protective array with a single blow.
And just as the blast set off, the mighty warriors invited by Li Xuan—Helian Fulong, Dongfang Liang, Lu Xue, Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Hanyun, and Ao Shuying—like fleeting shadows, infiltrated within.
Their only task was to dismantle all the resistance within Prince Xiang’s mansion in the shortest possible ti, and prevent anyone from escaping from within.
Ao Shuying transford into a colossal black dragon and fell from the sky. With her dragon roar, her majestic dragon-like aura immobilized everyone below the fifth house level of cultivation within the mansion, plunging them into unconsciousness.
Luo Yan headed straight for the eastern courtyard. Her speed was like lightning, surpassing several heavenly levels, second only to Jiang Yunqi. Right behind her was Xuanchenzi, whose style speed was only fractionally slower than Luo Yan’s.
The two of them arrived within a re thirtieth of a mont’s notice. Then Luo Yan’s stlye light crashed like a teor into one of the side rooms.
The person in her line of sight was a woman of about forty, dressed in a black Taoist robe, with an ordinary countenance, disguised as a middle-aged taoist woman.
Upon seeing this woman, Luo Yan imdiately felt relieved and elated.
This woman was indeed hiding here.
This woman was hiding within Prince Xiang’s mansion, even the Xiuyiwei would find it difficult to trace her whereabouts.
"Master Xinhuan, you’re out of luck! On the orders of the Marquis of Guanjun of the Jin Dynasty, I, Luo, am here to bring you in."
While speaking, Luo Yan’s pair of Hongxiu Knife had already swung into action. The purple-gold edges of the knives nearly subrged the middle-aged woman.
Less than two breaths in ti, there were several wounds inflicted on the middle-aged woman.
And within these two breaths, their illusion techniques had gone back and forth almost twenty rounds, nearly deadlocked.
However, Luo Yan’s Yi of the sword had already infused into the wounds of the woman, vigorously destroying her ridians, the mana, and the Dao sources.
Luo Yan’s goal was not to capture the other party, nor to kill this ’Master Xinhuan,’ but to prevent her from inflicting wounds on herself or blowing up her body—especially the latter.
Even if the woman died, it didn’t matter. As long as they could carry ’Master Xinhuan’s’ body out of Prince Xiang’s mansion, it would be undeniable evidence!
But after two breaths, a greenish-black color appeared on Master Xinhuan’s face. It was a deadly poison, spreading over her body.
Luckily, in the next mont, Helian Fulong arrived just in ti and with one hand, he froze her entire body from inside to outside in ice.
Seeing this, Luo Yan imdiately smirked at the corner of her mouth, thinking that there was a live captive now.
The poison on ’Master Xinhuan’s’ body was extrely lethal, but they had plenty of ti to identify, analyze, and dissolve it.
"Finally, we didn’t fail the mission!" Helian Fulong gasped, and then looked behind him.
He found that Jiang Yunqi had already stood behind them in the yard, his task was the Gumu. This woman was also frozen in the ice, hovering one ter behind Jiang Yunqi.
Next, Helian Fulong shifted his gaze further to the south, through layers of obstacles, looking towards the study room of Prince Xiang’s mansion.
In Li Xuan’s plan, this study room was also of utmost importance, it possibly held the key evidence of Prince Xiang’s conspiracy.
Just as this thought arose in Helian Fulong’s mind, he heard Xuanchenzi’s delicate voice saying, "The study has been seized! All letters, docunts, etc., are intact!"
Helian Fulong’s spirits lifted imdiately, thinking that with these two live witnesses, and all of Prince Xiang’s letters and docunts, they could certainly nail this case.
Then, the one with a wolfish ambition, the wicked and cruel so-called ’Xian Emperor,’ would have no chance of escaping guilt!
※※※※
At the sa ti, in the Yizheng Hall at the Taihe Gate, the spacious hall was as silent as death, quiet enough to hear a pin drop, and the only sound was the patter of the heavy rain outside.
Everyone was waiting for the result of the raid on Prince Xiang’s mansion. However, of the over six hundred officials who had knelt down earlier, more than half had quietly returned to their original lines.
Most of these court officials were Jinshis and were very clever; even the military ministers were experienced individuals. At this mont, they all saw that the situation was not right.
Just now, Prince Xiang’s Yu Zhanshi was roaring at Li Xuan’s plan of attacking and forcibly searching his mansion, he was unable to control his emotions for a long ti.
This kind of behavior was seen as an act of guilt.
Compared with Yu Zhanshi, Prince Xiang’s usual deanor of graceful entry and exit, wisdom, decorum, and dignity was quite the opposite.
As ti passed, only seventy-four people were left in the middle of the hall, all showing silent expressions, their faces as pale as paper. So people were deeply kneeling on the ground, maintaining an apologetic posture, cold sweat dripping from their forehead and their bodies trembling like a sieve.
They were all deeply involved in today’s coup, and they couldn’t escape no matter what.
