235: Chapter 235 The chaotic battle, heading to Dragon Head Mountain!

In an instant, the imperial court was in complete chaos, and a great battle erupted.

Li Wuqing's trusted aides were locked in combat with those Old Ancestors of the Noble Families and Heavenly Palace Realm Experts, while he himself was locked in battle with Ning Zhisheng.

In the imperial court, the ministers were also engaged in endless slaughter, with every strike drawing blood.

"The Shi Noble Family has arrived to defend the throne!"

"The Han Noble Family has arrived to defend the throne!"

"The Chen Noble Family has arrived to defend the throne!"

"The Pei Noble Family has arrived to defend the throne!"

Although among the twelve Noble Families, five had already defected to Heavenly God Mountain.

However, four other Noble Families stood with Li Wuqing, unhesitatingly sacrificing themselves in the midst of this catastrophe.

As for the remaining three Noble Families, they sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, choosing to reap the rewards of the victor!

With the arrival of the four Noble Families, the chaotic battle escalated once more, nearly shattering the entire imperial court!

"Roar!"

Suddenly! A dragon's roar that shook the heavens came from the distance. The Dragon Suppressing Army approached the imperial court filled with Killing Intent, clashing with the Hanshuo Army.

"Luo River · Long Wu!"

Meng Qing suddenly appeared before Li Wuqing. With a wave of her jade hand, the water of the Luo River appeared out of thin air, transforming into the shapes of countless raging dragons. They danced and soared, striking towards Ning Zhisheng.

Ning Zhisheng's pupils constricted sharply. He had not expected Meng Qing's sudden attack at all. In his haste, he was unable to defend himself and was sent flying by the single strike.

"Old Li, I shouldn't be late, right?"

Lin Ran strolled leisurely through the chaotic battle with a calm and indifferent expression.

A Heavenly Palace Realm Expert had a flash of Killing Intent in his eyes; he suddenly flashed to Lin Ran's side and struck out with one hand, intending to take his life.

Meng Qing's brows furrowed, and she unleashed a finger strike, killing that person instantly.

"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Why must you insist on acting tough and trying to take my life?"

Looking at the cloud of blood mist behind him, Lin Ran shook his head speechlessly.

"Hahaha! Minister Lin has arrived! My savior has finally arrived!"

Seeing that Lin Ran had finally appeared, Li Wuqing laughed three times, overjoyed.

Lin Ran looked left and right, but did not see Li Junze's figure, and for a moment, he realized something.

Logically speaking, the group of people forcing the palace today were all there for Li Junze; Li Junze should not have been absent.

The reason Li Junze had not appeared was for his final safeguard.

Li Junze felt that, while the chances of success for today's palace coup were high with just these people, nothing was absolute.

And if he had that final safeguard, today's matter would have a ninety-nine percent chance of success!

"Old Li, there are seven heaven burying swords. Which one is the most important?"

Lin Ran asked.

"Naturally, the heaven burying sword at Dragon Head Mountain is the most important!"

Li Wuqing said without hesitation.

"Alright, you and I will head to Dragon Head Mountain. Leave this place to Meng Qing to resolve."

Lin Ran said.

Meng Qing was at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm and was also the Spirit of the Luo River. Among these rebels, other than the Sword Hall Master Ning Zhisheng, no one present could hold back Meng Qing's onslaught.

Moreover, if Ning Zhisheng dared to clash head-on with Meng Qing, he would likely not be far from death.

"Good!"

Li Wuqing did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately nodded.

And the dynamic between him and Lin Ran had also shifted imperceptibly.

Although he was still the ruler of the Imperial Dynasty, he now followed Lin Ran's lead, even choosing to listen to Lin Ran on matters of such great importance.

After giving some instructions to Meng Qing, Lin Ran immediately followed Li Wuqing and rushed toward Dragon Head Mountain.

Meanwhile, inside Dragon Head Mountain.

Li Junze was flying frantically toward the location of the heaven burying sword, accompanied by a group of Heavenly Palace Realm Experts from Heavenly God Mountain.

"Your Highness, what are you doing…"

The one guarding Dragon Head Mountain was an old man at the Sixth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm. Before he could finish his sentence, he was surrounded and killed by the group of Heavenly God Mountain experts.

"The world only knows that there are seven heaven burying swords that suppress that Evil Dragon."

"But the world does not know that the suppressing power of the heaven burying swords over that Evil Dragon has been growing weaker and weaker."

"As long as I seize the heaven burying sword that is the head of the Seven Swords of Heaven Burial, even with the suppression of the other six swords, the Evil Dragon can still be unleashed!"

Li Junze sneered.

"Then, is the heaven burying sword here the head of the Seven Swords of Heaven Burial?"

"In that case, let us act quickly and seize this heaven burying sword!"

The Heavenly Palace Realm Experts from Heavenly God Mountain urged.

"Yes, Seniors, please protect me for now while I seize the heaven burying sword!"

Li Junze no longer hesitated; he immediately sat cross-legged and began to take control of the heaven burying sword.

"Lin Ran, Father, everything that happens today is because you forced me!"

"Since you want me dead, then let's see, when the Evil Dragon is unleashed, who will be the one to die!"

Li Junze sneered in his heart.

If it hadn't been for what Lin Ran said to him in the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, he probably wouldn't have been so anxious to bare his fangs.

Originally, he had wanted to plan for a while longer, but after learning from Lin Ran that Li Wuqing also wanted to kill him, he finally dared not drag it out any longer.

As soon as he left the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, he returned to the Imperial City, gathered a group of experts, and began the net-closing operation.

"Sword emerges to shock the Dragon Abyss!"

Suddenly, a peerless sword light tore through the firmament and slashed toward Li Junze.

"Get lost!"

The Heavenly God Mountain experts were all enraged, unleashing heaven-shaking divine arts to contend with this sword strike.

However, their divine arts were like paper before Li Wuqing's sword strike, instantly dissipating.

After all, their main force was in the imperial court; they wanted to eliminate Li Wuqing in the imperial court.

But no one expected that Lin Ran would suddenly appear with Meng Qing, and that Meng Qing alone would be able to stabilize the situation in the imperial court.

"Crown Prince, you truly have great ability. Must you destroy the foundation left behind by the Ancestor before you will be satisfied?"

Li Wuqing sneered.

Lin Ran appeared shortly after, unleashing his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes to scan the surroundings. Only after finding no danger did he feel slightly relieved.

"Heh, if Father had not wanted to kill me, why would I have done this?"

Li Junze sneered while continuing to take control of the heaven burying sword.

"Kill you?"

Li Wuqing frowned slightly.

When had he ever said he wanted to kill Li Junze?

Even after learning that Li Junze had malicious intentions, he had never thought about killing Li Junze; he only wanted to cripple Li Junze and reduce him to a commoner.

Who said he wanted to kill Li Junze?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Ran without revealing anything, and suddenly had some realization in his heart.

"Li Junze, shouldn't you be killed? You colluded with Heavenly God Mountain in private, formed cliques with those Noble Families, wanted to destroy the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, and poisoned the lives of the people. Tell me, shouldn't you be killed?"

"You learned that Your Majesty wanted to kill you, so you couldn't wait to bare your fangs."

"Even if you had known that Your Majesty would not kill you, would you have hidden these fangs for the rest of your life?"

"It was merely a matter of time, and the extent of your plotting."

Lin Ran said with a faint smile.

These words, while seemingly spoken to Li Junze, were actually spoken to Li Wuqing.

The implication was to let Li Wuqing know not to hesitate anymore; for someone like Li Junze, killing him directly was the best solution.
