Heaven-defying Skills

In the imperial capital, the sun was still warm and the temperature was moderate, but the atmosphere in the imperial capital was not very good at the moment, as if it was covered by a dark cloud, just because of a bad mood, very bad.

This morning, the emperor was in a good mood, but at this moment, a palace maid presented a letter. After reading the letter, his face immediately changed and became very ugly. This was a letter to Tai Chong, because the news of Tai Chong's death was considered top secret and was blocked by the imperial city. After all, such a shameful thing, the imperial city could not shoot itself in the foot, so the outside world did not know.

I heard from the palace maid that the letter was sent by a first-level magic beast messenger pigeon. Because Tai Chong was dead, the palace maid boldly took the letter and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, the palace maid saw the emperor's face constantly changing, and she was scared and sweated.

Why was the emperor so angry? Because the content of the letter was as follows: "Teacher, I haven't heard from you these days, and I miss you very much. During this period, I have been unable to make any further progress in my cultivation due to the growth of my inner demons. I am stuck in the same place. Here, I would like to ask you to teach me how to break the inner demons."

This is a seemingly ordinary letter from a student to a teacher, but the problem is that although the letter is not signed, the emperor has seen the handwriting and was impressed by it, because on his 40th birthday, someone presented him with a poem. Because the poem was well written and the handwriting was elegant, it left a deep impression on the emperor. The owner of the handwriting was none other than Ao Xiaoyun, the first genius youth of the imperial aristocracy, the eldest son of King Xiaoyao. Ao Xiaoyun was Tai Chong's disciple. It seemed ordinary, but the problem was that no one knew about this matter, and he, the master of the imperial city, didn't know either. Tai Chong, the guardian of the imperial city, hid it from others and accepted the son of the vassal king as his disciple. This is very intriguing.

Moreover, the clever emperor thought of another thing. Ao Xiaoyun's inner demons were probably caused by his defeat by Han Fengxue at the Ao Yue banquet. This might be the reason why Tai Chong assassinated Han Fengxue, but it seemed that the reason was not sufficient. In addition, Tai Chong was suspected of colluding with the Dream Tower. Ao Xiaoyun happened to be a warrior in the realm of martial arts, just like the legendary people of the Dream Tower. This is even more worthy of deep thought.

After reading the letter, the emperor immediately ordered Ao Xiaoyun to be "invited". Of course, the emperor did not dare to touch Ao Xiaoyun, because at this moment, Ao Xiaoyun's father, King Xiaoyao, was sitting in the south of the empire, with millions of soldiers and horses in his hands, and was in charge of more than 40 rich provinces in the south. Once Ao Xiaoyun had an accident, things would be interesting. While "inviting" Ao Xiaoyun, the emperor ordered the whole city to be blocked and all people related to Ao Xiaoyun or King Xiaoyao to be monitored.

For a time, the avenues of the imperial capital were filled with fully armed troops, shuttling back and forth between the residences of the nobles. The entire imperial capital was filled with suspicion, and the nobles were all in a panic, especially those who had done something wrong in the past, fearing that it was related to themselves.

After inviting Ao Xiaoyun to the imperial capital, Feng Yang personally took action, disguised as a masked man, and used powerful mental oppression to defeat Ao Xiaoyun, and then asked some questions. Ao Xiaoyun was confused and told everything. When he returned to the country, he saw Feng Yang and the emperor standing in front of him, with a murderous look on his face, almost wanting to swallow him alive.

Although the emperor had already guessed something, he was still shocked by the words from Ao Xiaoyun.

First of all, why did Tai Chong want to assassinate Han Fengxue? Because everyone heard that the banquet was for Princess Yue to choose a husband, and Ao Xiaoyun naturally knew it. Ao Xiaoyun was full of confidence and regarded that position as a sure thing. Han Fengxue suddenly appeared and shattered his hopes, destroying their long-prepared plan. Tai Chong certainly wanted to kill him as soon as possible. As for what the plan was, everyone guessed it. What embarrassed the emperor was that this plan had been prepared for twenty years, starting from when Ao Xiaoyun was sent to the imperial capital as a child, but he didn't notice it at all.

Secondly, what is the relationship between Tai Chong and Huanhuanlou? The answer is a relationship of interest. Huanhuanlou promised to send several masters to help them stop the two in the imperial capital, and their return to Huanhuanlou was that in the Blazing Empire, they must not interfere with all the actions of Huanhuanlou, but Huanhuanlou also promised not to harm the interests of the Blazing Empire. The two refer to Feng Yang and another person who would not show up until the emperor or the country was in crisis. That person was the real guardian of the imperial city, and even the emperor had to respect him. Of course, unless it was an absolute royal high-ranking official, other people would never know, and King Xiaoyao happened to be one of the insiders. And Ao Xiaoyun himself didn't know who the Fantasy Tower had in the imperial capital.

Finally, of course, King Xiaoyao's plan and his accomplices in the imperial capital, Ao Xiaoyun dug it out without missing a single detail, and also, what Tai Chong could get from it, and why he did this.

After listening to everything Ao Xiaoyun said, even the emperor and Feng Yang, who were calm, broke into a cold sweat. After more than 20 years of careful preparation and perfect strategies and plots, the emperor was in awe of his half-brother, and Tai Chong was actually the uncle of King Xiaoyao, that is, the brother of Concubine Tai, the mother of King Xiaoyao who died that year.

No one would have thought that Han Fengxue's unintentional behavior at Princess Yue's banquet would actually lead to a shocking conspiracy. The emperor was now somewhat grateful to Han Fengxue and Chai Lao. If it weren't for them, he would have been in the same situation. In danger of being plotted by others. In fact, Tai Chong had many opportunities to kill the emperor directly, but in that case, the emperor's throne would not fall to King Xiaoyao, but to Ao Yang. With such a dangerous person always by his side, the emperor's heartbeat I was a few steps faster, but luckily there was no danger.

】

In the imperial capital, a massive arrest campaign was going on enthusiastically. At the same time, the emperor also secretly sent some experts to King Xiaoyao's residence, trying to capture the mastermind with lightning speed.

Three days later, in Nanyuan Province, Qingzhou City, Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, in the luxurious hall, a mighty middle-aged man sat at the head, with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows inserted into his bun, and his bright eyes occasionally shot out a ray of light, In the hall, there were several tall men standing.

"Is there any news about Xiaoyun?" The middle-aged man frowned sharply. These days, the beating of his right eyelid made him feel a little uneasy. At the same time, he actually lost contact with his son Ao Xiaoyun, and then He tried to contact Tai Chong again, but found that the message was also cut off.

One of the men said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just came back from the imperial capital to report that the young prince seems to have been taken into the imperial city and has never come out." Although he forced himself to be calm, he could still hear his voice. There was a slight tremor in the voice.

A light flashed in King Xiaoyao's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly, making a small sonic boom sound, and the muscles on his face tensed up.

"Can I contact Mr. Tai?" King Xiaoyao looked closely at the man who just spoke.

"No." The man's voice trembled even more as he spoke.

King Xiaoyao calmed down for a moment. As smart as he was, he naturally knew that since the matter had happened, it could not be undone. What was needed at this moment was calmness and absolute calmness in order to make the most correct judgment.

"There are assassins!" A shout accompanied by a scream broke the silence of the night. Five masked men went straight to the palace and fought their way in. It was not because they were willing to choose this method, but because of the strict five-step-one-post policy of Xiaoyao Palace. Sentinels, these masked assassins couldn't sneak in at all, and the command to die was given, so they had no choice but to use this stupidest method.

However, the simplest and stupidest method, if the strength is strong enough, is the most effective method. At this time, the five people entered the flock like tigers and fought all the way in without encountering any effective resistance. It was not because the opponents were too weak. , but because they are too strong. The five assassins, without a single exception, are all masters at the skill king level. They belong to the five series. Their coordination is also extremely exquisite. Various gorgeous elemental skills burst out with various colors of brilliance in the darkness, decorating them. The night of the palace.

King Xiaoyao was not at all confused and strode out of the hall. Looking at the masked assassin who came to the front of the hall, King Xiaoyao showed a sneer.

"Five skill kings, what a big deal!"

At this moment, eight men in black robes dressed in the same color suddenly appeared in the darkness. Compared to the masked assassins, these men in black robes, whose whole bodies were shrouded in darkness, looked more terrifying, like ghosts that collect souls and take lives. , passing through the night sky.

Eight men in black robes surrounded the five Skill King assassins in the center. Shocking killing intent burst out at the same time, making the Skill King level tremble uncontrollably. Then, the dazzling sword light pierced the eyes, and he was in a trance. , only the bodies of five skill kings were left on the field.

King Xiaoyao looked at the eight men in black robes in shock. This was the second time he saw them take action. Last time, they acted for him, but this time, they were used as an experiment. He had already expected that the eight men would definitely win. , but I didn’t expect it to be so simple and so fast.

The eight people ignored King Xiaoyao's eyes. One of them walked directly to King Xiaoyao and said in an indifferent tone: "Your Majesty, we have to say goodbye. You can take care of yourself."

King Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry, we are just obeying the orders from above." After saying that, he ignored the livid King Xiaoyao and turned around to leave. The others followed closely, leaving only the stunned King Xiaoyao.

In the imperial capital, the imperial city, the emperor's first reaction was when he heard the following report.

"Impossible, those are five skill kings!" He said with a look of disbelief on his face.

At this time, Feng Yang, who was beside him, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Dream Tower?"

The emperor was shocked and froze in place. After regaining consciousness, he summoned King Bingyuanshan into the imperial city and directly issued a series of orders, all of which were aimed at preventing rebellion in the south.
