Chapter 2897: Chapter 2898: A Conspiracy

Once more, both sides clashed fiercely!

However, this time, at first glance, Princess Qinse’s army quickly gained the upper hand.

"Report to the Venerate, the enemy soldiers seem unusual. In an instant, their combat power increased significantly!"

Immediately, a Demon Race general approached the black-clad figure to report.

"I understand!" the black-clad figure responded in a slightly hoarse voice.

Afterward, the Demon Race general respectfully took his leave.

"Assassination Squad, it’s your turn to make your entrance!" the black-clad figure suddenly said.

Then, a gust of wind suddenly arose, heading toward the engaged crowd.

Where it passed, a sudden bloom of blood flowers appeared among Princess Qinse’s army!

Yes, blood flowers bloomed, and countless soldiers fell on the spot! Such is the power of the Assassination Squad.

They hid in the shadows, possessing remarkable skills, making it impossible to guard against.

With every move they made, the lives of several soldiers were taken.

"Courting death!"

At this moment, Princess Qinse suddenly descended from the sky. With a single palm thrust, two figures were blasted out, dying instantaneously!

It turned out to be two top assassins from the Assassin Alliance! No wonder they could silently ambush those soldiers.

At this time, several assassins surrounded Princess Qinse, yet she remained fearless and quickly engaged in battle.

This chaotic battle caused heavy casualties on both sides!

Princess Qinse’s army, with its increased strength, managed to faintly suppress the Black Butterfly Legion.

This sight left the cultivators nearby, who were investigating intelligence, dumbfounded.

Originally, they had no expectations for Princess Qinse’s army, but now, it seemed nothing short of a miracle.

Despite being covered in blood and clearly seriously injured, Princess Qinse continued to fight bravely. Three more top assassins fell by her hand.

"No, at this rate, the Princess won’t last much longer!" the fairy worriedly said, clearly wanting to join the battle personally.

"Hold back, fairy. This is an opportunity for her. Besides, if you were to intervene, the other side would surely have prepared for it!" Ye Luo immediately advised.

Only then did the fairy stop, understanding Ye Luo’s words, though her heart was anxious.

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides had gone completely berserk, entering a state of fervent combat.

"Princess, if you continue the fight, your hundred thousand elite soldiers will be wiped out!"

The black-clad figure suddenly spoke.

Princess Qinse paused, a hint of clarity appearing in her bloodthirsty eyes.

"Even if my hundred thousand elite soldiers perish, your legion will be nearly gone!" Princess Qinse said coldly.

The black-clad figure nodded indifferently, "But have you considered that these are merely soldiers of the Demon Race? Even if all are annihilated, it won’t affect our Assassin Alliance greatly!"

"Hmph, so what!" Princess Qinse remained unmoved, "My hundred thousand soldiers are first-class warriors. Dying to protect their homeland is an honorable death! Enough words, let’s battle!"

At this moment, Princess Qinse was full of heroic spirit, with a boldness rarely found in women.

"Princess Qinse is indeed courageous. I am impressed. However, today’s battle should end here!"

After speaking, she chuckled lightly, her gaze falling on the position of Wudang, before disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, the remaining soldiers of the Black Butterfly Legion retreated!

Within mere seconds, those soldiers vanished without a trace.

The cultivators present were puzzled, wondering why the Black Butterfly Legion retreated just like that. Despite the fierce battle, and even though Princess Qinse’s army seemed to have the upper hand, victory was not certain.

However, Princess Qinse’s expression changed drastically, clearly indicating that the Black Butterfly Legion had another purpose.

In the secret chamber, Ye Luo narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of unease.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?" the fairy asked, puzzled.

"Those 250,000 elite soldiers!" Ye Luo said solemnly.

After thinking for a moment, the fairy realized, "You’re saying the real target of the Black Butterfly Legion is the 250,000 elite soldiers?"

"More or less," Ye Luo sighed.

After all, those soldiers had significant connections with him, even though King of Huainan assured Ye Luo of their proper arrangements, ensuring their safety!

However, the current situation with King of Huainan was only known to Ye Luo.

During that battle, King of Huainan seemed intent on taking his life, but in reality, it was merely a test! When those 250,000 elite soldiers became infected, King of Huainan had already made his decision.

He was testing Ye Luo to see if he had the ability to protect the Royal City! Whether he had the means to resist those old monsters! Whether he could ensure the survival of the Royal City under the joint siege of the Assassin Alliance and the Demon Race.

This was both King of Huainan’s cunning and a manifestation of helplessness.

Even though King of Huainan knew Ye Luo intended to leave this realm, he still placed this heavy burden on him.

For neither Nameless nor Princess Qinse could bear such a heavy responsibility!

And that final strike from King of Huainan actually passed the Art of Prophecy onto Ye Luo.

Originally, this cultivation technique was obtained in the Ancient Ruins, and he had only comprehended a small part of it. He transferred the complete Art of Prophecy to Ye Luo.

Because of this, Ye Luo’s power reached new heights!

Otherwise, how could he confront the ancestor of the Haiming Sect or tear apart that ancient Killing Array.

Now, where is King of Huainan? Ye Luo naturally did not know, as he fainted during that event.

However, upon waking, he gathered clues and learned some information.

King of Huainan must have encountered significant trouble, likely being imprisoned!

He exchanged himself for the survival of those 250,000 soldiers! Such courage left Ye Luo in shock.

And the one or force imprisoning him should be an unknown power!

Originally, Ye Luo didn’t understand why this place was referred to as the third force. He had heard rumors before, but they were not accurate!

Now he has understood that besides the Demon Race and third force, there’s also a mysterious and terrifying power in the Demon Realm!

Compared to this mysterious force, the Assassin Alliance seems insignificant.

"Now, it’s time to investigate!"

Ye Luo murmured, then disappeared, with the fairy naturally following closely.

When Ye Luo appeared near the barracks, Princess Qinse was already standing there, like a statue, not moving, with barely any breath or vitality.

"Princess, are you alright?"

The fairy immediately gathered around her.

"Fairy, those 250,000 elite soldiers were exchanged by my father for his life, but I failed to protect them!"

As she spoke, a look of despair appeared on her face.

Not far away, the previously orderly barracks had become somewhat chaotic. One glance was enough for Ye Luo to understand that these previously well soldiers had been infected again!
