“Spirit Absorbing Array! Start!”

Hua Qiyue gave a light shout. As for this array, it was taught by Tianpi temporarily. Hua Qiyue found it funny, so she decided to find out the effect at first.

“Yun Shimo, let’s retreat!” Hua Qiyue shouted softly. She picked up the rabbit lying on the ground in one hand and withdrew from her array with Yun Shimo.

Boom, boom—

The rune of Spirit Absorbing Array flickered, causing the earth to shake. For an instant, Qi Artists still alive on the mountainside were sucked into the array one by one with whizzing sounds!

Liu Mo, House Master Baili, and House Master Xia, who were fifty miles away, also felt soft all over their bodies. They were sucked up by a powerful force.

And they couldn’t move. With sounds of whiz, they were sucked into the array and fell to the ground awkwardly.

It was funny that creatures not far away, such as wild boars, leopard cats, pheasants and so on were all sucked in, and all of them were thrown together. There was a hill piled up by people and animals, which was filled with screaming.

Liu Mo struggled to get up. He didn’t expect that, with a sound of bang, a huge wild boar fell on him which hardly cracked him up and made him scream in pain.

They had lost anima energy after this movement, so they could not protect themselves at all.

The three House Masters were in an awkward position. After sucking all the creatures within a hundred miles, the world finally became quiet.

Liu Mo was furious. Thanks to those wild boars being also very weak, he stayed alright. Otherwise, they would bite him into human meat pie with holes.

“Hua Qiyue! You are too vicious!” House Master Xia also elbowed out of the crowd and shouted angrily.

Yun Shimo could not help laughing. He pointed to Hua Qiyue’s head, “You, you are so naughty.”

“Don’t talk to me in such a disgusting tone!” Hua Qiyue got rid of his hand and gave him a supercilious look. Yun Shimo twitched his lips and realized that he had become… gentle?

“Hua Qiyue, what do you really want?”

Liu Mo and others tried to break through the glowing array, but they were sent back flying by the light. The remaining Qi Artists sat listlessly on the ground with downcast eyes.

Liu Mo and others were relatively stronger, so they could barely stand up.

The three House Masters were very angry. They didn’t realize that they were prisoners now.

Hua Qiyue said with a faint smile, “What do I want to do? When you want to kill me, why don’t you ask what you want? I’ll want what you want!”

The three House Masters almost fainted after listening to her tongue twister. Liu Mo found that he had lost all his spiritual energy. It was impossible to fight against the solid and strong Yun Shimo.

They didn’t expect that the Four Great Families united together would be defeated with just two or three strikes.

How weak they were! How weak!

The little hare giggled, “Ha, ha, ha, a group of old things, and you still want to kill two of my apprentices?”

The people finally noticed the hare and they were shocked.

If the creature could talk, that was to say, it was an evil beast or spirit animal. A spirit animal that could speak human language had extremely powerful practice, which could compare with a Qi Artist at Round Sun level!

They were so frightened and angry that they didn’t expect to have run into such a powerful master, but now it was too late to regret.

Here came a shadow. Ouyang Youche stood quietly in front of the crowd. With the array light reflected on his handsome face, his face looked so bright and clear.

“House Master Ouyang… Why aren’t you sucked in?” Liu Mo looked at Ouyang Youche in front of him in shock. He couldn’t find the reason.

“Because there is a strand of my hair on Young Master Ouyang. With my breath, of course, he will not be absorbed by my array.” Hua Qiyue smiled faintly. That was the characteristic of Spirit Absorbing Array.

People looked at Ouyang Youche in shock. They suddenly understood that the House Master Ouyang had been in collusion with Hua Qiyue. It was unforgivable!

“Ouyang Youche, what do you mean?” Liu Mo was frightened and angry. He was in a difficult position., However, Ouyang Youchen had betrayed them.

“Nothing. I just think that infanta is talented and nobody can oppress her, so I bias her. Now… The Queen’s people in the palace are attacking, but my men should be able to resist it.”

Ouyang Youche said unconcernedly.

Liu Mo stared at Ouyang incredibly. He was the accessory to help Huangfu Shenglin become the Emperor! Then the information that Hua Qiyue was on Red-crowned Crane Mountain was also divulged by Huangfu Shenglin deliberately. They turned ours trick to their own use to confuse the Queen and make her believe that Huangfu Shenglin really had no reinforcement!

“Oh, I didn’t expect that we really lose this time!” House Master Baili sighed. He stared at the hare on the ground.

The hare winked at him and snorted. “Why are you staring at me? If you keep staring, I’ll cook you to eat!”

It must be a very powerful spirit animal if it talked in that way. All the people suddenly felt hopeless. Not to mention Prince Nan, Hua Qiyue and Ouyang Youche, this mysterious hare alone might be able to wipe them out in one move!

They were angry and resentful, but they had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.

—

At this very moment.

In the Mental Cultivation Hall of the palace, the Emperor was going to bed and enjoyed the first night with the newly selected concubine. Unexpectedly, there was a loud noise outside, and the voice of Eunuch Li came in. “Emperor, a disaster is imminent… There are Qi Masters invading the palace!”

Changlong Emperor was shocked. He had hundreds of Qi Artists, and they were all elites. Why did they fail all of a sudden?

Regardless of his concubine, he quickly put on his dragon robe with the help of her and rushed out of Mental Cultivation Hall. Then, he saw the Queen and First Prince coming, followed by many Qi Artists.

Changlong Emperor’s face sank. It was true although he didn’t have thought of all this!

He had heard the news that First Prince was going to seize the throne for a long time. It was said that First Prince would take advantage of the chaos caused by Hua Qiyue to become the new Emperor successfully.

“What are you doing?”

“Your Majesty and Father, you are old enough, so allow me to be the Emperor instead!” First Prince, sitting in a rattan chair, answered lightly, but his eyes were cold.

“Unconstrained! Are you rebelling? Get out of here at once!” Eunuch Li was shocked and shouted loudly immediately.

“Puff… ” Eunuch Li was pierced by a ray of light, and there was a big hole in his chest immediately. He fell to the ground and died with a muffled sound.

The concubine behind the Emperor gave a terrible cry and fainted because of fear.

Changlong Emperor looked at the crowd coldly. Queen Liu was calm as water, who was really worthy of being the Queen of the whole country. Behind her, there were a large number of elite Qi Artists trained by the Emperor, as well as a group of Palace Guards. But now they all stood on the side of Queen Liu.

It was obvious that Queen Liu must have spent a lot of money to steal them away from the Emperor.

Changlong Emperor’s face was gloomy and his eyes were full of destructive spirit and fierce light. However, First Prince showed no weakness and looked at the Emperor coldly, too.

“Changyu, you are my first son. I care about you, love you and have never been mean to you. Are you sure you want to seek power and take the throne?”

Changlong Emperor’s voice was very loud.

“Your Majesty and Father, my lower body was hurt by the enchantress, Hua Qiyue. All the forces related to her are extremely powerful. Liu’s family need to grow stronger, too. What’s more, Your Majesty and Father, you are old, and you should enjoy your rest life in peace as well.” First Prince answered lightly.

Changlong Emperor sighed softly, “Give you another chance, will you leave or not?”

“No!”

First Prince answered loudly. There was merciless light in Queen Liu’s beautiful eyes, “Emperor, you are old and weak. Let First Prince help you handle state affairs!”

It was sounded like the Queen cared about him, but in fact, she was forcing him into handing his power to First Prince!

Changlong Emperor stared at Queen Liu coldly, and the Emperor’s momentum on him did not diminish. “Queen Liu, for the sake of the Liu family, I gave you a chance. But Yu’er took it for granted. Well, don’t blame me for being heartless!”

Changlong Emperor said that. He heard the sound of fighting outside, but he was not afraid. Then, he waved his hand, “Come on, capture these rebels!”

It was silence everywhere.

Queen Liu and others sneered. After all, the Emperor’s people were bought by. How could the Emperor have any close or loyal Qi Artist around him?

“Emperor, you had better enjoy your rest life well. Although you have the strength to spend a night with your concubines, state affairs are not like that. Your brain is not very bright now.” Queen Liu said indifferently.

A disgusted look flashed in her eyes. Anyway, this man had after all been the man she loved. But now he had other women, in addition to disgustful, there was also a sad feeling in her heart.

After the Queen’s had just finished her words, dozens of Qi Artists stood coldly behind the Emperor with sounds of whiz. All of them did not know where they came from.

Queen Liu and others were shocked, but First Prince sneered, “Your Majesty and Father, there are many Qi Artists in our Liu’s family. Don’t waste your energy.”

Liu’s family had sent hundreds of Qi Artists to help him, as well as Ouyang’s family, Baili’s family and so on. First Prince believed he could usurp the throne successfully this time.

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door of Mental Cultivation Hall. First Prince was proud. His people must have killed those Qi Artists and Palace Guards who refused to obey the Queen in the palace and now they returned.

“Protect the Emperor!”

A slogan was shouted, suddenly, there was a loud sound as if tens of millions of people were shouting.

Queen Liu and others looked back in astonishment and saw that Huangfu Shenglin came in a hurry with a group of Qi Artists. All of them were elites, probably at the level of Dragon Diagram.

“Your Majesty and Father, please forgive me for not coming early!” Huangfu Shenglin, covered with blood, cried out, “Capture these rebels! If anyone resists, kill him!”

Huangfu Shenglin ordered in a cold voice. Then, most of the Qi Artists who followed First Prince and the Queen suddenly showed their weapons, aiming at Queen Liu and First Prince!

When First Prince and Queen Liu saw this, they were shocked and angry. “What do you mean by that?”

“Your Highness First Prince, Your Highness Queen, offended! We are still loyal to the Emperor. We have done so to reveal your scheme. Please allow us to catch you without a fight! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

The Qi Artist pointed to First Prince’s neck with his sword’s point and said nonchalantly.

As for those secret guards around Changlong Emperor, they immediately protected him. The situation had been reversed in a minute.

First Prince was at a loss. The situation was good for him before, and he would succeed soon. But these Qi Artists had led him into a trap!

“Unconstrained! Unconstrained! I am the real emperor! How dare you do this to me… Damn you, come on! Kill these rebels!”

However, no matter how madly First Prince shouted, those Qi Artists looked at him coldly and remained unmoved.

First Prince’s face was pale. He stared at Huangfu Shenglin as if he wanted to see him through.
