After a moment, she spoke:
"Why would the Azure Dragon Society attack the palace at this time? It's really puzzling."
They couldn't possibly be just there to meet up with the Nanqing delegation, could they?
After hearing Zhan Doudou's words, Haitang Duoduo immediately shook her head, indicating that she did not think so.
She explained that she had mentioned the Azure Dragon Society to Fan Xian before, but Fan Xian showed contempt for the Azure Dragon Society and used it to mock Northern Qi.
Therefore, it is unlikely that there is any connection between them.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon Society had already targeted the Northern Qi's Imperial Guards yesterday, and today they attacked the palace, clearly indicating that this was a pre-planned operation.
Zhan Doudou and the Empress Dowager found Haitang Duoduo's analysis very reasonable.
They secretly rejoiced that Grandmaster Kuhe had returned in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Meanwhile, Fan Xian and his group, with the help of the Azure Dragon Society, quickly arrived at the palace gate.
The palace gates, which were originally tightly closed, had now been blown up, and Fan Xian and his entourage left the palace with ease.
Just as Fan Xian and the others stepped out of the palace, a tall man dressed in red with large dark circles under his eyes suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
Fan Xian's heart sank when he saw the person blocking his way. He could sense the powerful aura emanating from the other person and knew that this person was definitely a very, very strong expert.
It was even possible that all of them combined wouldn't be a match for them, so they didn't intend to fight head-on and directly asked:
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
The newcomer was dressed in a red official robe with two swords hanging at his waist, looking very imposing.
This man was Lang Tao, who was sent by the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi to invite Ku He. He had already entered the palace before Ku He entered the capital.
Because he was slower than Kuhe, he had only just arrived at the palace gate.
However, when he saw that the palace gates had been smashed, he was immediately alarmed and realized that something must have happened inside the palace.
Just then, he saw Fan Xian and the others walking out of the palace, so he wanted to stop them and ask what was going on.
Lang Tao's gaze swept over Fan Xian and the others, and upon realizing that none of them were from Northern Qi, he frowned slightly and asked in an unfriendly tone:
"I am Lang Tao. You are not from Northern Qi. Why did you come out of the palace?"
Fan Xian was unfamiliar with the name, but Wang Qinian, standing behind him, knew that this person was no ordinary individual.
Wang Qinian quickly walked to Fan Xian's side and whispered to him:
"Young Master Fan, this Lang Tao is the eldest disciple of Grandmaster Ku He, and ranks among the top three of the ninth-rank masters in the world. His strength is terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian felt a pang of anxiety.
He realized he had encountered a formidable opponent and needed to be extremely careful.
However, he was not overwhelmed by fear, but quickly adjusted his mindset and regained his calm and composure.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Xian introduced himself to Lang Tao as an envoy from Nanqing and reminded him to enter the palace as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also revealed a shocking piece of news—a group of men in black were storming the palace and had already reached the Chaotian Hall.
After hearing Fan Xian's words, Lang Tao didn't even glance at him before quickly slipping into the palace.
Fan Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
He knew he had successfully diverted Wolf Peach's attention and avoided a conflict with her.
Then, without hesitation, he turned and ran towards the delegation, ready to meet the challenges ahead.
Inside the palace, Ku He fought against Li Qian and Li Kun alone, holding his own and even showing signs of subtly suppressing them.
boom!
With a loud bang, the three separated again.
After Li Qian and Li Kun stopped, they looked at Ku He, a mocking smile playing on their lips, and teased him:
"I don't think we need to continue fighting. Look at your palace."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and then disappeared like ghosts in front of Ku He.
Ku He turned to look at the palace, a flash of anger in his eyes, but he did not intend to chase after the two men. Instead, he turned and walked towards the main hall of the palace.
As he stepped into the main hall, a suffocating atmosphere enveloped him, as if an invisible hand were tightly gripping his heart.
All the civil and military officials stood frozen in place, trembling with fear, not daring to make the slightest move, as if frozen by terror.
Kuhe's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally landing on Langtao and Haitang Duoduo, who were lying not far away.
They were bleeding from the corners of their mouths, their fate unknown, which made Ku He's heart sink.
Then, Kuhe looked up at Zhao Doudou, who was sitting on the dragon throne. Her body was motionless, as if she had lost her soul, and her eyes were empty.
Relying on his Grandmaster-level strength, Ku He swaggered to the center of the hall and asked Zhao Doudou without any politeness:
"Your Majesty, what just happened here?"
Upon hearing Kuhe's words, Zhao Doudou did not immediately respond. At this moment, she trembled and stared in terror at what was behind Kuhe, as if endless fear was hidden there, making it impossible for her to look away.
Kuhe looked at Zhao Doudou, who was trembling all over, and felt a little puzzled, but she was still prepared to ask again.
However, at that moment, an extremely cold voice came from behind, as chilling as a cold wind, and with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Are you Ku He, the Grandmaster of Northern Qi?"

Are you Master Kuhe of Northern Qi?
Upon hearing this voice, Ku He was startled and quickly turned around, shouting:
"who!"
His voice echoed in the open space, carrying a hint of authority and alertness.
His eyes darted around anxiously, trying to find the person who had spoken.
Finally, his gaze fell on a figure.
The figure was dressed in black clothing with gold trim and wore a black and gold mask. There was no trace of true energy emanating from him, as if he were just an ordinary person.
However, Ku He dared not underestimate him in the slightest, because he could sense a unique aura emanating from this person.
Sunlight streamed through the holes in the roof, illuminating the figure and making his form appear somewhat blurry.
Ku He squinted, trying to see the other person's face clearly, but due to the mask, he could only see a pair of deep and indifferent eyes.
The aura revealed in those eyes made Ku He feel a sense of vigilance.
Ku He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Who exactly are you? How do you know me?"
His tone carried a hint of doubt and wariness.
The person in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of pressure, forcing him to be careful in his dealings with him.
The mysterious man's steps were light yet steady, as if each step contained some kind of power.
Kuhe stared at the other man silently, trying to find a flaw in his movements.
However, the mysterious man's behavior made him feel an invisible pressure.
As the two locked eyes, Ku He felt a powerful aura rush towards him. His heart sank, knowing that the person before him was definitely a Grandmaster, and that his strength was unfathomable.
At this moment, Ku He finally understood why the entire Chaotian Palace was so eerily quiet, why his two disciples were lying unconscious on the ground, and why Zhan Doudou was looking at him with a look of fear. The reason was this person.
Ku He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, composed himself, and asked again:
"Who exactly are you? What do you want in our Northern Qi palace?"
His voice was deep and serious, carrying an unquestionable authority.
However, when faced with Ku He's questioning, the man standing in front of him gave a wicked smile, seemingly unconcerned about his attitude.
The man, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask that obscured his face, was none other than Gongzi Yu, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society.
"Who I am is not important; what is important is that I am here to complete my mission."
The man's voice was calm and indifferent, as if everything was under his control.
Upon hearing this, Ku He frowned, realizing that things might be more complicated than he had imagined.
"Mission? What mission?"
Kuhe pressed on, hoping to get more information.
The man smiled, not answering Ku He's question, but turning to look at Zhan Doudou with a hint of threat in his eyes.
"Young Emperor of Northern Qi, you should know where what I want is, right?"
He spoke softly, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
Zhan Doudou's face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly. She bit her lip tightly and dared not speak.
Seeing this, Ku He quickly stepped in front of Zhan Doudou to protect her.
"Whatever you want, don't even think about hurting her while I'm here!" he roared angrily.
