However, Emperor Qing was, after all, the ruler of a country, so how could he easily admit defeat?

His eyes widened in fury as he roared at those around him:

"Where are the Tiger Guards? Kill them!"

The remaining eighty-odd Tiger Guards were all Emperor Qing's loyal followers. Even though they knew they were no match for him, they still used their movement techniques without hesitation after hearing the order, attacking Li Chengtian like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

0 ...

Upon seeing this, Han Diaosi's expression changed slightly. He was about to make a move when Li Chengtian raised his hand to stop him.

Li Chengtian's figure swayed, and he suddenly floated in mid-air, spreading his hands and beginning to circulate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

As Li Chengtian circulated his technique, a powerful suction force erupted, instantly slowing down the originally extremely fast speed of the eighty-odd Tiger Guards, as if an invisible hand had bound them to the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the bodies of the more than eighty Tiger Guards floated up slowly and involuntarily, moving closer to Li Chengtian.

When all eighty-odd Tiger Guards had floated to Li Chengtian's front, Li Chengtian suddenly roared, "Swallow!"

With Li Chengtian's roar, the bodies of more than eighty Tiger Guards were instantly enveloped by black demonic energy.

Li Chengtian unleashed the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and in the blink of an eye, the figures of more than eighty Tiger Guards completely disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world.

After he finished devouring everything, Li Chengtian slowly landed on the ground.

Silence fell once again in the Chaotian Hall, and everyone looked at Li Chengtian with fear and awe.

It is terrible!

This is absolutely horrific!

Who would have thought that the Second Prince would possess such terrifying and bizarre martial arts skills?

Everyone was terrified, trembling as they looked at Li Chengtian, including Prime Minister Lin, the Third Prince, Chen Pingping, and others.

They stared wide-eyed at what was happening before them in disbelief.

Of course, Emperor Qing was no exception. Li Chengtian's move was beyond his comprehension, it was simply beyond the reach of immortals and gods.

His face showed shock and fear, and an indescribable despair welled up in his heart.

Li Chengtian stopped wasting words and went straight to Emperor Qing's side, a cold glint in his eyes.

He raised his right foot and stepped on Emperor Qing's chest.

In an instant, Emperor Qing's vitality was completely devoured by Li Chengtian, as if his life force had been drained.

Emperor Qing's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Emperor Qing himself was severely injured by Han Diaosi.

However, the presence of internal energy within him had barely prevented his injuries from worsening.

But at this moment, as his true energy disappeared, his injuries worsened instantly, and Emperor Qing could only live for another hour or two at most.

Knowing his own situation, Emperor Qing shook his head with a bitter smile and said self-deprecatingly:

"I never imagined that I, Li Yunqian, after so many years of strategizing and plotting, would ultimately be defeated by one of my own pawns."

His voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow, as if he felt a deep resentment at the mockery of fate.

Li Chengtian ignored Emperor Qing and gave him a cold look before turning and leaving.

Li Chengtian turned his head to look at Han Diaosi.

Han Diaosi understood Li Chengtian's meaning. He walked to Emperor Qing's side, picked him up, and took him away from the Chaotian Palace.

The entire Chaotian Hall was deathly silent. Everyone watched helplessly as Emperor Qing was taken away, and a strange sense of sorrow welled up in their hearts.

The former emperor is now a critically injured, dying old man.

This sudden turn of events plunged everyone into deep thought, prompting them to consider how the situation might develop in the future…

Chapter 56 Everything has settled down. The Empress misses the Crown Prince, so she is sent to see him. (Please subscribe)

Just after Emperor Qing was led away by Han Diaosi, Li Chengtian's lips curled slightly upward as he looked at the officials and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, he has suddenly fallen ill, and there is no cure. He is about to die."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood the meaning behind Li Chengtian's words. He looked at Li Chengtian, a sorrowful expression on his face, and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty! Why did you execute him?!"

Then all the officials realized what was happening, their faces turned grim, and they immediately knelt down and began to wail.

"Your Majesty...!"

His Majesty……!

Waaaaaah!

At this moment, Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, his eyes fixed on the front.

When he heard what Li Chengtian said, he was shocked and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

His body began to tremble, and his hands gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly.

Chen Pingping stood up abruptly from her wheelchair, laughing loudly while tears streamed down her face:

"Hahaha, miss, you can rest in peace now!"

Laughter echoed through the palace, sending chills down one's spine.

Although Ye Qingmei has been gone for more than ten years, Chen Pingping still remembers her. Back then, only Ye Qingmei treated her as a real person.

Now, upon hearing the news of Emperor Qing's death, Chen Pingping's resentment, which had been suppressed for many years, finally dissipated.

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and stared intently at Li Chengtian's tall and imposing figure.

He muttered to himself:

"Everything has settled down, and the overall situation is now determined!"

Just as Zheng Qiankun and Ye Zhong led their troops into the palace, the Overwatch Council quickly received the news.

Without hesitation, Zhu Ge, the organizer, gathered a group of elite warriors to prepare to enter the palace and rescue the emperor.

Moreover, many soldiers from other places also responded and went together.

However, when the "503" group arrived at the door, they were surprised to find that Shadow was already waiting there.

"Zhuge, what exactly is your intention in leading so many men?"

The shadow stood alone, yet it exuded an unparalleled aura of power and majesty, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.

Even with hundreds of soldiers behind him, no one dared to provoke Juggi easily.

Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes, staring at the shadow with a hint of gloom and ferocity in his gaze, and said coldly:

"We have just received confirmation that Zheng Qiankun and Ye Zhong have led 20,000 troops into the palace. His Majesty is in extremely dangerous condition. As his subjects, we should immediately enter the palace to protect him."

"Protect the emperor? Hmph, in my opinion, you are clearly plotting a rebellion!"

Shadow's tone remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

A look of anxiety flashed across Zhu Ge's face as he shouted:

"Zheng Qiankun and his men have already led their troops into the palace. Isn't this to rescue the emperor?"

Aren't you worried about His Majesty's safety?

He went on to say:

"We might still make it to the palace if we set off immediately. If we delay any longer, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Keep in mind, Zheng Qiankun was leading ten thousand elite Red Armored Army soldiers!

After hearing this, Shadow's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile, and he sneered:

"Even so, when is it your turn, Zhu Ge, to come to the rescue?"

The fact that the Black Riders in the five locations did not take any action is enough to prove that everything is fine inside the palace and there is nothing to worry about.

"Gentlemen, please leave immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

After hearing what Shadow said, Zhu Ge didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute him because what Shadow said made sense.

Moreover, their own people also felt that Shadow's words made sense; if something really happened, the Black Knights would have already taken action.

So everyone left, and Zhu Ge returned to the Overwatch Council with no other choice.

Meanwhile, inside the Fan residence, Fan Sizhe was rushing anxiously towards Fan Xian's room, shouting:

"Brother! Something terrible has happened!"

As soon as Fan Sizhe entered the room, he picked up a water glass and started drinking water in big gulps. Because he drank too fast, he sprayed it all out.

Fan Xian looked at Fan Sizhe speechlessly, put down his pen and paper, and said slowly:

"What happened?

"If you're so nervous, take a breath before you speak."

Fan Xian knew that his younger brother was only good at making money and doing business; otherwise, he was muddle-headed and sometimes his actions made Fan Xian feel helpless.
