Chapter 666 - 497: Here They Come Again (2)

However, Fahai’s cultivation seems to be a notch higher than Shen Yidao’s. Shen Yidao could only do his best to lure Fahai away, as long as this variable exists, his plan to escape with the Crown Prince today would likely fail once more.

Fahai is no fool and naturally sees through Shen Yidao’s intentions. He maintains a certain distance from the battle circle, ready to retreat as soon as Shen Yidao attempts to lure him away.

He knows his goal is to protect the Crown Prince, and as long as the Crown Prince is safe, it doesn’t matter to him if all these people below perish.

Of course, it’s not that he’s too heartless, it’s just that even if he wanted to save people, he couldn’t; he’s only slightly stronger than Shen Yidao.

Shen Yidao tries to lure him away but is unable to, and likewise, he can’t shake off Shen Yidao to rescue the people below. The two remain in a stalemate.

Despite both sides engaging in fierce combat now, neither can gain the upper hand.

...

"Wan, look, it seems like there are sounds of killing over there!"

"The fluctuation in the energy of heaven and earth indicates that there is a battle between experts of the Sky Origin Realm..." Despite Situ Wan having reached a deep level in the Meridian Passage Realm once, her sensitivity to the fluctuation of heaven and earth’s energy is much sharper than that of Lianxin and Liansuo.

Upon seeing the celestial phenomenon, she immediately recognizes that a battle is happening, and the combatants are two Sky Origin level experts.

"The Azure Heaven Saber of the Green Blade Sect!"

After racing several kilometers forward, Situ Wan recognizes that one of them is utilizing the Green Blade Sect’s ultimate technique, the Azure Heaven Saber.

Within the Green Blade Sect, the only one capable of breaking through to the Sky Origin Realm is the missing Sect Leader Shen Yidao.

Could this Sky Origin level expert be Shen Yidao?

Shen Yidao?

Both Lianxin and Liansuo simultaneously guessed that this guy had been in seclusion for a breakthrough throughout last year and didn’t even emerge when his son and brother disappeared. Could it be that he has now advanced to the Sky Origin Realm?

Who then is fighting him?

"Amitabha, Mr. Shen, put down your butcher’s knife, and realize the past is behind!" A Buddha’s chant, like a morning bell or evening drum, rang out.

Fahai!

This time, Lianxin and Liansuo recognized him before Situ Wan. It was Fahai from Shanglin Temple, who had an ageless friendship with their young master, so they were quite familiar with Fahai’s voice.

Master Fahai has returned from the capital, but why is he clashing with Shen Yidao of the Green Blade Sect?

The sound of slaughter in the rain clearly signifies that not only Fahai and Shen Yidao are battling ahead, but many others are engaged in combat as well.

Could it be the Crown Prince?

"Lianxin, Liansuo, sisters, let’s go take a look. If the Crown Prince is truly under attack, we should lend him a hand!" Situ Wan said, because the Sect of Inquiry has a good relationship with the secular royal power, if the world’s foremost sect couldn’t maintain a good relationship with the royal power, it wouldn’t benefit its development. Moreover, the Sect of Inquiry was one of the powerful forces that initially supported the Zhao family of Da Li.

The three women snapped their whips, suddenly accelerating as they weaved forward through the rain.

...

Clop, clop...

Why are there more people coming?

Three distinct hoof sounds approached the battlefield, drawing everyone’s attention at this moment.

The rain and wind were so fierce, was anyone really traveling under such conditions?

What urgent matter could it be that they had to travel on a deserted official road under a rainy night?

The shadows became increasingly clear.

Three slender figures swiftly approached the battlefield and, under the illumination of lightning, Situ Wan and the sisters Lianxin and Liansuo also clearly saw the battlefield ahead.

They had all seen the face of the Crown Prince before, as well as the familiar Zhuo Qingfeng and the Su Family’s experts.

Without warning, there were three sharp shouts.

The three women soared into the air, pouncing onto the battlefield like three sharp blades, directly stabbing towards their adversaries.

Dammit!

How could there be reinforcements on Crown Prince Zhao Yuanze’s side? And three impossibly beautiful young women, two with identical faces, clearly twin sisters.

Moreover, the aura from the swords in the hands of the three women demonstrated their cultivation in the Meridian Passage Realm.

As Zhuo Qingfeng saw the appearance of the sisters Lianxin and Liansuo, a sudden joy exploded onto his face, pushing back a Green Blade Sect expert: "Lianxin, Liansuo, ladies, has Mr. Lin arrived?"

Liansuo was about to reply, but Lianxin beat her to it: "Mr. Zhuo, our young master will arrive soon; he instructed us three to come in advance."

"Good, good, brothers, Mr. Lin has brought reinforcements; fight for me!" For a moment, Zhuo Qingfeng couldn’t distinguish whether Lianxin’s words were true, but his purpose in asking was to receive this answer, to at least quickly boost their morale.

Indeed, upon hearing the news of reinforcements, the remaining guards of the Eastern Palace and the experts in the worshiping yard all found their spirits greatly uplifted.

Dammit, how could there still be reinforcements!

The man in the golden crown gritted his teeth.

Seeing the protected Crown Prince Zhao Yuanze, a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes. As long as the Crown Prince was killed, today’s task would be considered accomplished.

With that, he snatched a long halberd from a nearby Blood Massacre member and hurled it.

The long halberd pierced through the rain, with terrifying thunderous force, heading toward the Crown Prince Zhao Yuanze’s chest.

Protect the Crown Prince!

An Eastern Palace guard, with a face full of resolve, threw himself towards the long halberd. But his strength was too weak, and the halberd pierced directly through him, continuing at an alarming speed toward Zhao Yuanze.

It was a matter of just two to three breaths.

The long halberd arrived in front of Zhao Yuanze, and he was nearly unable to evade it.
