Chapter 14, Second Prince Ying Luo, Dies
After the man in black robes went out, the shouts of battle outside grew even louder.
Boom~~
A moment later, the door to the secret room was suddenly kicked open, and a dark figure fell in from the outside...
Ying Luo's expression changed drastically, because the person lying on the ground and thrown in was Ying Ren, whom he had just sent out not long ago...
"Your Highness...run...run! The enemy has...a Nascent Soul stage expert!"
Ying Ren spoke to Ying Luo with difficulty, and then fell silent completely.
Ying Luo's pupils contracted, and his face showed visible panic...
The words "Nascent Soul expert" kept echoing in his ears...
"Yes, find my father. He's also a Nascent Soul cultivator; he can definitely save me..."
A moment later, Ying Luo came to his senses, a glimmer of hope appearing on his face. He quickly scrambled to his feet and rushed towards the door...
"Where is Your Highness heading?"
As soon as he reached the door, he saw a person dressed in a black robe appear there, with only his eyes showing as he stared intently at him.
"Gulu~~"
Ying Luo swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, but he dared not move...
"Your Excellency... I have no grudge against you, why...?"
Ying Luo spoke tremblingly, his previous arrogance completely gone, replaced only by the fear of facing death.
"I have no grudge against you, but you've offended someone you shouldn't have..."
The man in black spoke coldly.
"It's...who is it?"
Ying Luo couldn't understand who he had offended that would send a Nascent Soul expert to kill him. Even the Qin royal family only had one Nascent Soul expert among them!
"You don't need to know!"
As the man in black finished speaking, a blinding beam of light flashed...
Before Ying Luo could react, she felt a dizzying sensation and then lost consciousness.
"Within the Second Prince's residence, leave no one alive..."
The leader of the men in black said coldly.
"Here!"
His men behind him immediately responded.
Before long, screams echoed throughout the Second Prince's residence.
Strangely, despite the commotion at the Second Prince's residence, it seemed as if no one outside heard it at all; there was absolutely no reaction...
The commotion at the Second Prince's residence gradually subsided and eventually ceased.
"Sir, everything has been cleared away; there are no survivors..."
A man in black approached the leader and spoke respectfully.
"Ok!"
The leader of the men in black closed his eyes, carefully sensed the surroundings with his divine sense, and after confirming that there were no survivors, nodded slightly and said, "Withdraw!"
Then, these men in black transformed into streaks of black light and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shortly after they left, a transparent barrier outside the Second Prince's residence shattered with a deafening roar...
The Imperial Palace, the sleeping quarters of Emperor Qin.
The Qin Emperor was suddenly awakened from his meditation.
He looked at the Second Prince's residence with a grim expression, and upon seeing it, his anger flared instantly.
"who!"
"who is it!"
An immense pressure erupted from his body, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble and quiver as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Forbidden area in the back mountain.
Two elderly men with white hair emerged from the forbidden area, exchanged a glance, stood up at the same time, and instantly arrived outside the Qin Emperor's palace.
"Greetings, Your Excellencies!"
Upon sensing the arrival of the newcomers, the Qin Emperor bowed respectfully. Before these two pillars of the royal family, the Qin Emperor dared not be arrogant in the slightest.
The two royal ancestors nodded slightly.
Next, the three of them arrived outside the Second Prince's residence.
After the barrier disappeared, some people noticed the strangeness of the Second Prince's residence. At this time, a large number of people had gathered outside the Second Prince's residence.
Upon seeing the arrival of the three Qin emperors, they all knelt down on the ground.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor Qin ignored them and instead looked down at the Second Prince's residence. Upon seeing it, his anger intensified.
Because, in the vast Second Prince's mansion, there isn't a single living creature left. Even the cats and dogs kept in the mansion have had their throats slit.
What enraged the Qin Emperor even more was that his son, the second prince of Qin, lay on the ground, his body dismembered, his face still bearing the terror of his dying moments, his eyes wide open, unable to close in death...
"Investigate! Investigate for me! I want the murderer to pay the price..."
"I am Qin Shi Huang," he said through gritted teeth.
He didn't care about the death of one prince; he had many princes, one more wouldn't make a difference. What he cared about was the reputation of the royal family and the power behind the second prince...
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin officials who had arrived below immediately obeyed the order. They could not imagine how angry their emperor was. An assassination attempt on a prince had occurred in the imperial city, and had even succeeded. This was a slap in the face to the Qin Dynasty and to the emperor himself.
The three emperors returned to the palace with grim expressions.
"Two venerable ancestors, have you noticed anything?"
The Qin Emperor addressed the two royal ancestors.
Both elders shook their heads.
One of the elders said, "The person who made the move is no less powerful than us. This can be seen from the fact that they were able to make a move in the capital without us noticing. Moreover, their actions were extremely decisive, without any hesitation, and they left no clues at the scene..."
The Emperor Qin was shocked and somewhat incredulous. Even the two patriarchs were so solemn; how powerful must the person who made the move be?
You should know that both of these ancestors were powerful experts at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
If they can't sense it, then others certainly can't either.
"Are we just going to let them go like this?"
The Emperor Qin said somewhat unwillingly.
"I'm afraid this is the only way. It's best not to provoke such a powerful figure if possible. But what I can't understand is why such a powerful figure would attack a junior who is only at the Golden Core stage?"
An elder of the royal family spoke up in confusion.
"What has the Second Prince been up to lately...?"
Another royal ancestor looked at Emperor Qin and asked.
"What did you do?"
The Emperor Qin thought about it carefully, but couldn't come up with a solution. After all, he was usually engrossed in cultivation and didn't pay much attention to his princes...
"Somebody come!"
The Emperor Qin shouted.
A dark figure appeared in the main hall and bowed to Emperor Qin and the two royal ancestors.
"Find out exactly what the Second Prince has been up to lately!"
The Emperor Qin gave the order to the dark figure.
The dark figure nodded and then disappeared from the spot.
He returned shortly afterward, but this time he had something else in his hand: a piece of paper.
The shadowy figure respectfully handed the paper to the Qin Emperor and then withdrew.
The Emperor Qin picked up the paper that recorded the recent activities of the Second Prince, Ying Luo, and began to read it. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.
"Humph!"
The Emperor Qin snorted coldly and handed the paper to the royal patriarch beside him.
The two royal ancestors also started reading, and the more they read, the stranger their expressions became.
