With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

On the rooftop, Bei Chenyan drew his soft sword from his waist and unleashed all his skills, engaging Ling Yangzi in a fierce battle.

Ling Yangzi's internal strength was far superior to his, and he couldn't win in a head-on confrontation. However, his superb lightness skill and swordsmanship gave him the advantage, allowing him to evade one deadly attack after another with agile movements.

"Ling Yangzi, you're nothing but a stray dog!"

"You shall die!" Ling Yangzi roared in fury, wanting to kill Bei Chenyan to vent the frustration and anger he had been suffering for so long.

He was absolutely furious.

His once-prosperous Changyang Temple was destroyed overnight by Nangong Wu, resulting in numerous casualties among the disciples. Yun Muzi broke ties with him, taking nearly 30% of the disciples with her. Many factions from various countries and regions also felt that he had lost his morals and distanced themselves from him.

He was only one step away from dominating the world, but because of the appearance of this woman, Nangong Wu, his plans were disrupted, and all his years of hard work went down the drain. He was filled with hatred!

Bei Chenyan and Ling Yangzi fought more and more fiercely, their powerful palm strikes destroying many houses and alarming the entire Jade Dragon City.

For a time, shouts of "Catch the assassin!" rose and fell.

Seeing that this was not working, Bei Chenyan retreated towards the city outskirts while continuing to fight, only able to attack Ling Yangzi with his gun in a secluded place.

"Li Shuang, Li Ke, you have guns, return to the palace immediately to protect His Majesty," Nangong Wu ordered the two.

The assassins tonight were sent by Ling Yangzi. She was afraid that the people from Changyang Temple would also try to assassinate the Emperor of Nanqi.

The people of Changyang Temple are all too skilled in martial arts. If they were to assassinate the Emperor of Nanqi, the Imperial Guards in the palace would be no match for them.

"Your Highness!"

Both Li Shuang and Li Ke were worried about her.

"Don't worry about me, go quickly." Nangong Wu said and chased after him.

Zhang Qing's expression was solemn. He instructed Cao Li, "Wei Yang, come with me out of the city. You two go back to the palace with Miss Li Shuang and make sure to protect His Majesty."

"yes!"

Cao Li led his men back to the palace first.

Nangong Wu chased after Zhou Shaorong out of the palace, pulled him out of the spatial dimension, and used her internal energy to amplify her voice far away:

"Ling Yangzi, your illegitimate son Zhou Shaorong is in my hands. If you want him to live, stop now!"

Upon hearing her words, Ling Yangzi was momentarily distracted, and his movements slowed down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bei Chenyan leaped back and fired several hidden weapons.

Ling Yangzi was unable to dodge in time and was hit on the shoulder by a dart, which flew to the ground.

Bei Chenyan caught up quickly, rapidly changing the magazine on his gun.

"Damn it!" Seeing that things were not going well, Ling Yangzi also shot out a few hidden arrows. Taking advantage of Bei Chenyan's dodge, he flew away.

"Die!" Bei Chenyan raised his gun and fired wildly in the direction Ling Yangzi had left, until he had emptied a magazine of bullets before stopping.

"Nangong Wu! Bei Chenyan! You just wait!" Ling Yangzi's angry voice rang out.

"Damn it!" Bei Chenyan looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes cold.

Seeing that Ling Yangzi had run away and Zhou Shaorong had been thrown back into her spatial storage, Nangong Wu rushed over. "Bei Chenyan, are you alright?"

Bei Chenyan was secretly annoyed that Ling Yangzi had run away like that when he heard her words, he suddenly covered his chest with his hand and said weakly, "My chest hurts a little."

"Where are you hurt? Let me see." Nangong Wu thought he had been hit by Ling Yangzi's hidden weapon, so she was about to pull open his clothes to check his chest.

Zhang Qing and Wei Yang also arrived. When they saw Nangong Wu's ambiguous act of pulling open the Crown Prince's clothes, they were so shocked that they immediately stopped and turned around.

He was secretly annoyed that it had come at such an inopportune time.

Bei Chenyan stiffened, quickly grabbing the hands that were roaming over him, his ears turning red. "I'm not hurt, you don't need to worry..."

"You're not injured? Didn't you just say..." Nangong Wu looked up at him, only to see the smile in his eyes.

"You lied to me!" She pushed the person away.

But this push touched Bei Chenyan's arm, causing him to let out an "Oh".

Nangong Wu thought he was faking it again, so she ignored him with a cold face.

"Nangong Wu, my wrist hurts a little. Could you help me put some medicine on it?" Bei Chenyan carefully tugged at her sleeve.

"Didn't you say you weren't injured?" Nangong Wu glared at him.

"Ling Yangzi's internal strength is very strong. When he ambushed me, I exchanged a palm strike with him, and my arm was almost broken! You don't believe me? Take a look." Bei Chenyan held up his left arm for her to see.

He was holding the AK in his right hand at the time, so he had to use his left hand to block it.

"Let's go back first!" Nangong Wu glanced at his hand, then turned and returned to Jade Dragon City.

"Wait for me!" Bei Chenyan hurriedly chased after him.

Because of an assassination attempt in the Eastern Palace, the entire palace is under martial law.

Commander Deng led the Imperial Guards to guard the area around Yikun Hall, where countless torches illuminated the area as bright as day.

However, the Southern Qi Emperor, who was sleeping in his bedchamber, was not disturbed.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu arrived at Yikun Palace and, seeing that Emperor Nanqi was alright, returned to the East Palace.

The East Palace was also brightly lit. The guards had already laid out the bodies of the assassins from Tianhua Hall on an open ground and searched their bodies for their belongings.

Upon seeing them return, Cao Li immediately reported, "Your Highness, these assassins were each carrying ten fire caltrops, as well as concealed weapons and poison powder."

"They're from Changyang Temple." Bei Chenyan looked at the large pile of fire caltrops with a cold gaze.

These people brought so many bombs and went straight to Tianhua Palace, clearly intending to kill Nangong Wu.

"Your Highness, there are twenty corpses in total. What should we do with them?" Zhang Qing asked him.

"Take him outside the South Gate and hang him up, leave his body exposed for seven days as a warning to others! Also, draft a notice and post it out, saying that Ling Yangzi broke into the palace at night with the intention of assassinating the Emperor and me, attempting to seize the throne of Nanqi Kingdom. His heart is wicked! Furthermore! Offer a large reward for Ling Yangzi and the remnants of Changyang Temple, and announce it to the world!" Bei Chenyan ordered.

"Yes!" Zhang Qing accepted the order.

"Let's go back to Yongming Palace first. Can you take a look at my arm?" Bei Chenyan pulled Nangong Wu towards Yongming Palace.

Ling Yangzi's palm strike was incredibly powerful; his arm is still numb and painful.

Nangong Wu did not break free from his hand and let him pull her back to Yongming Palace.

Bei Chenyan added, "It's bad luck that someone died in Tianhua Palace. From now on, you'll live with me in Yongming Palace. You can stay in the main hall or a side hall."

"Okay!" Nangong Wu agreed, since she wouldn't be staying for more than a few days anyway.

Upon arriving at Yongming Hall, the guards all withdrew.

Nangong Wu first showed Bei Chenyan's arm, "It's swollen. I'll apply some medicine for you, both internal and external, it will heal faster."

His arm was swollen from the blow, which showed that Ling Yangzi used a lot of force when he struck.

"Ling Yangzi ambushed me, thinking that one palm strike would kill me." Bei Chenyan sneered.

"You are using Kunlun School martial arts. Ling Yangzi may have already recognized that you are a disciple of the Kunlun School," Nangong Wu said.

"So what if he recognized us? We've already fallen out with him." Bei Chenyan gritted his teeth. "Ling Yangzi's reputation is ruined now. He has no place in the martial arts world anymore. He might retaliate against us fiercely. We need to be careful in the future."
