Chapter 206 Huangfu Mingrui's Unwillingness, War Begins
"Ancestor, I don't know what you mean?"
Huangfu Mingrui continued to play dumb.
"Raising a private army, plotting rebellion, even attacking the cities of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, and framing the Great Qin—wasn't this the work of yours?"
Huangfu Duan stared sharply at Huangfu Mingrui and said, word by word.
Upon hearing Huangfu Duan's words, Huangfu Mingrui's eyes widened in shock.
He said incredulously, "How did you know? I did it very discreetly!"
Huangfu Mingrui's face was gloomy; he knew that there was no point in hiding it any longer.
The other party has revealed everything he did, which means they have evidence.
"Never mind how we found out, Huangfu Mingrui. I have never treated you badly, raising you from a weak branch of the clan to the position of Pillar of State General, second only to the emperor. Why would you do this?"
Huangfu Duan's face was gloomy. Huangfu Mingrui was a junior whom he had once highly regarded.
Not only was he highly talented and hardworking, but he also reached the early stage of Mahayana Buddhism at the age of just over 500.
He had high hopes for it, but he never expected...
"why?"
"Haha, you're asking me why?"
Huangfu Mingrui burst into laughter, his face filled with madness.
"I am clearly the most talented person in the royal family, having reached the Mahayana stage at the age of five hundred. But just because of my background, just because I come from a branch family, you deprive me of the right to inherit the throne. On what grounds?"
"Why would they rather let that clueless little girl, Huangfu Sixuan, inherit the throne? What makes them think they can do that?"
Huangfu Mingrui roared, and his voice could be heard throughout the entire Huangfu capital.
Everyone looked up in confusion towards the direction of the Pillar of State General's Mansion.
"Why? Haha!"
Huangfu Duan was so angry at Huangfu Mingrui's words that he laughed.
What makes you think you will inherit the throne?
"With your talent?"
"Haha! Ridiculous!"
Huangfu Duan sneered and said
Huangfu Mingrui felt like he was about to explode with anger when he heard Huangfu Duan's disdainful words.
His prized talent was so insignificant in the other person's eyes?
"Huangfu Mingrui, I admit that you are very talented, but you should know that there are always people more talented than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding!"
"Your talent is indeed very strong compared to ordinary people, but compared to the Emperor, it is far inferior."
"Moreover, your current cultivation level is not only due to your own talent, but also thanks to the large number of precious spiritual medicines provided to you by the royal family!"
"Otherwise, with your talent, it would be an unknown amount of time before you could break through to the Mahayana realm!"
At this moment, Huangfu Rui also spoke up.
His eyes were full of disappointment. Although he had not had much contact with Huangfu Mingrui, he had heard some things about him.
He's a very good junior, but unfortunately he's taken the wrong path.
"Hahaha! Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Let's make our move. I'm not going to surrender so easily!"
Huangfu Mingrui suddenly burst into laughter and said.
"Stubborn!"
Huangfu Duan glared angrily and said in a loud voice.
"Let's go out together, subdue him, and take him to see the Emperor!"
Huangfu Duan said to Huangfu Rui.
Huangfu Rui was also very disappointed and nodded silently.
The two then attacked together.
The two figures vanished from their original spot in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were already in front of Huangfu Mingrui.
The two men tried to capture Huangfu Mingrui from the left and right, but Huangfu Mingrui was prepared to resist. He dodged their attacks with agility and nimble movements.
A large, blood-red sword appeared in his hand.
"My two venerable ancestors, I have been impolite!"
Huangfu Mingrui said in a deep voice.
As he finished speaking, the blood-red broadsword in his hand glowed with a blood-red light, and Huangfu Mingrui exuded a terrifying aura.
He's clearly serious about this.
"You beast, surrender now!"
Huangfu Duan frowned and said coldly.
"Ancestor, I respect you, but that doesn't mean I'll surrender. If you want to fight, then fight! I also want to see just how strong you two ancestors really are!"
Huangfu Mingrui's expression remained unchanged, as if he were not facing two powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage.
"Insanity!"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Duan was furious and, like Huangfu Rui, drew his own weapon.
Huangfu Duan's weapon was an ice-blue spear that exuded a chilling aura, while Huangfu Rui's weapon was a blue-purple longsword with eerie electric crackling around its blade.
The two charged at Huangfu Mingrui simultaneously.
Huangfu Mingrui unconsciously tightened his grip on the broadsword in his hand; clearly, his inner self was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Boom boom boom
Three streaks of light of different colors collided violently in the sky above the imperial capital.
The commotion here had long since attracted the attention of the capital's guards.
Soon, the defensive formation of Huangfu Didu was activated.
The aftershocks of the battle in the sky were blocked by the defensive formation.
This prevented large-scale casualties.
"What's going on? Why are the two patriarchs attacking the Great General?"
An official from the Huangfu Dynasty looked at the great battle in the sky and said in confusion.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear a thing of their conversation?"
"That Huangfu Mingrui is plotting something sinister. He not only raises a private army, but also frames the Great Qin. He is simply a traitor!"
"Isn't it only natural that the two patriarchs would take action against him?"
Another official angrily berated the official who had just spoken, and recounted everything he had overheard.
"What?! Such a thing has actually happened? Then Huangfu Mingrui deserves to die!"
Upon hearing his colleague's explanation, the official's expression changed, and he began to rebuke him.
............
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky was still at a stalemate.
Although Huangfu Mingrui was no match for the two.
However, he has a constant stream of trump cards up his sleeve, and whenever he is about to be overwhelmed, he will use one of them.
Huangfu Mingrui was well aware of his current situation and knew he absolutely could not let them catch him.
Otherwise, at best, one's cultivation will be abolished, and one will be reduced to a commoner.
In severe cases, it can even cost you your life.
This was completely unacceptable to Huangfu Mingrui, who was used to being high and mighty.
He had worked so hard to achieve his current level of cultivation and status, how could he possibly surrender so easily?
"Gentlemen, Ancestor, are you really going to push things to the extreme?"
"Am I not a member of the Huangfu family?"
Huangfu Mingrui played another trump card, angrily accusing him.
He's already exhausted all his cards; these are all the cards he's accumulated over the years, and now they're almost all gone.
He was heartbroken.
He did consider running away.
However, ever since they began fighting, the entire void of the capital city has been sealed off by an array, making it impossible for him to tear through the void and escape with his cultivation level.
Moreover, those two old guys wouldn't give him a chance to escape.
Finally, during a fight, Huangfu Rui seized an opening in Huangfu Mingrui's defenses and struck Huangfu Mingrui in the chest with his sword.
"Pfft~"
Huangfu Mingrui was hit hard and sent flying backward.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed into his chest.
The granulation tissue on the wound kept wriggling, trying to repair it, but the electric light around the wound kept preventing it from healing.
