Master of the Sky

Guo Nan secretly thought, and when he looked at Guo Ziyi, respect gradually rose in his eyes, admiration for Guo Ziyi's decades of experience in the struggle between empires.    

    

"If it's just me alone, I won't be able to beat those crafty old bastards. Even with absolute strength, it was often ineffective. "One mountain is higher than the other, while the other water is deeper than the other. In my previous life, I killed many people in the Wucheng Mainland, but I still ended up dying!"    

    

"I still have to train hard in the art of plotting."    

    

Guo Nan thought.    

    

Just as Guo Nan and Guo Ziyi were observing the fire in the Changyang City, in the palace, Li Yuan was listening to the Chief Secretary's report.    

    

"The Changyang City would not suddenly catch fire for no reason, it must be someone deliberately causing trouble. "You guys investigate this thoroughly for me and see who has the guts to do so." Li Yuan was furious.    

    

"Yes." The Chief Secretary hurried away.    

    

"Your Majesty, all the spies in Civil Service Family have received the news. Yuwen Ji has all of the Changyang City prepare themselves. A Black Man entered the Heartbreak Palace and reported softly.    

    

"Is Yuwen Ji crazy? To impeach Guo Ziyi at such a time, are you sure you want to create trouble for us? "    

    

Boom! *    

    

Li Yuan threw the imperial report in his hand onto the table, stood up and shouted: "Call the crown prince over!"    

    

The Black Man accepted his orders and walked out. After about fifteen minutes, the Crown Prince, Li Jian, with his sleepy and hazy eyes, rushed over to Heartbreak Palace.    

    

"royal father, you summoned your son here late at night, did something happen?" Li Jian asked confusedly.    

    

"You can still sleep peacefully at this time? Not only is the Changyang City on fire, Yuwen Ji has joined forces with all the other Civil Service Family s and plans to impeach Guo Ziyi tomorrow.    

    

When Li Yuan saw Li Jian, he was immediately angered. Compared to the intelligent and capable Li Shi, Li Jian was far worse!    

    

"royal father, don't be angry, you might hurt your body. That old fellow Yuwen Ji, had gone mad. Everyone could see that you need the Guo Family to fight against the Sea race now, and him impeaching Guo Ziyi at this time was simply too reckless! In my opinion, we should immediately summon Yuwen Ji into the palace and have him give up on that idea. "    

    

"Mn, go in person. After all, the princess consort is someone from the Yuwen's family. She can't be rude." Li Yuan nodded, and looked at Li Jian with an additional look of praise.    

    

"Sigh, although Jianer is not as good as Fourth Brother, he still has a general view of the situation. He did not protect Yuwen's family just because of the Crown Princess, and also did not take the opportunity to denounce Guo Family together with Yuwen Ji just because he supported Fourth Brother to be Crown Prince secretly. The current Li Tangguo cannot leave the Guo Family! "    

    

Li Yuan thought.    

    

"This son will go right away. royal father, please have some tea."    

    

Li Jian made a cup of tea for Li Yuan and placed it on the table, then left the Heartbreak Palace with his eyebrows lowered.    

    

Li Yuan thought for a while, sat back on the Dragon Throne, raised his hand and rubbed his temple, seeing the fragrant tea on the table, a warm feeling surfaced in his heart. He picked up the tea cup and blew on it. After drinking a few mouthfuls, he nodded and smiled, "Jian'er, this tea brewing is quite good."    

    

The same tea leaves, the same boiling water, the same flavor, but because it was made by his own son, it was extremely fragrant.    

    

"I've been feeling a bit tired. I've had too many things to do recently. It's better to be a free prince than to be a Kaiser!"    

    

Li Yuan leaned on the Dragon Throne, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and he fell into a deep sleep.    

    

Seeing that Li Yuan had fallen asleep, the palace maid who was standing behind him extended her finger and checked Li Yuan's nose. Her expression changed, and she quietly left the Heartbreak Palace.    

    

"His royal highness the prince, His Majesty has already fallen asleep." The palace maid walked to the pavilion outside of Heartbreak Palace and whispered to Li Jian.    

    

Li Jian laughed sinisterly: "Good, very good!"    

    

The palace maid's eyes suddenly widened, she stared straight at Li Jian, blood flowing out of her mouth as her body slowly fell to the ground.    

    

Li Jian laughed sarcastically and quickly walked out of the pavilion.    

    

Li Jian made a few turns and found two people quietly waiting for him in another pavilion.    

    

One of them, who was dressed in a black robe with a long knife hanging from his waist, was Qin Qiong who had disappeared for a period of time!    

    

The other person, who was covered entirely in black robe, was actually black robed elder, who was living in a secret room in the Qin Wang Manor!    

    

The two of them hid in the darkness like two ghosts, emitting a sinister and terrifying aura.    

    

Seeing Qin Qiong and black robed elder feeling the aura on their bodies, Li Jian secretly quivered.    

    

"Duke of Qin, Soul Elder, I'll leave the rest to you."    

    

Li Jian bowed and replied respectfully.    

    

"Li Yuan is dead?" black robed elder asked with a strange laugh.    

    

Li Jian slightly nodded, and said in a soft voice: "If I die, I'll be finished after killing Li Bing."    

    

"Very well, leave Li Bing to us." Qin Qiong brought along black robed elder, one in front and one in back, walking towards the Heartbreak Palace.    

    

Inside Heartbreak Palace, Li Yuan fell into a deep sleep and would never wake up.    

    

Li Jian entered the Heartbreak Palace alone, bypassed the screen, and saw Li Bing sitting upright on a prayer mat with his eyes closed while cultivating.    

    

"Uncle, the Duke of Qin wishes to see you. He says that he has something to discuss with you."    

    

"Oh? The Duke of Qin? What is he doing? "    

    

Li Bing opened his eyes and without hesitation, he stood up and followed Li Jian out of the Heartbreak Palace.    

    

After exiting the door, Li Bing glanced at the sleeping Li Yuan and frowned: "Is your royal father asleep?"    

    

"Un, royal father is tired, let's take a nap."    

    

"Your royal father ordered you to go to the Yuwen's family. Why are you back so soon?"    

    

Standing on the vast open area outside the Heartbreak Palace, Li Bing squinted his eyes as he stared at Li Jian, as he became suspicious.    

    

"I just left the palace when I met the Duke of Qin. He said he wanted to see you, so I brought him here."    

    

Li Jian pointed to the left, then walked out and cupped his fist at Li Bing: "Greetings, Prince."    

    

"Qin Qiong, what are you doing here so late in the night?" Li Bing frowned and asked.    

    

"There's something wrong with Qin Qiong, the aura on his body is different from before, it doesn't look like a righteous Fighter, but more like some kind of evil cultivator."    

    

With a dark face, Qin Qiong did not reply. Instead, she slowly walked towards Li Bing. That kind of disrespectful behavior made Li Bing extremely unhappy.    

    

"Prince, I want to tell you something. Tonight, you must die!" Qin Qiong walked in front of Li Bing and stopped in her tracks as she spoke with a cold sneer in her eyes.    

    

Li Bing's right hand instantly grabbed the longsword at his waist!    

    

A heart-wrenching pain caused him to slow down when he tried to draw his sword!    

    

On the right side of his abdomen, a short, glossy blue dagger was stabbed in!    

    

With Li Jian's strength, he was only able to break through Li Bing's defensive elemental energy at a close distance.    

    

Skin wounds!    

    

However, the dagger was smeared with deadly poison!    

    

Li Bing's reaction was extremely fast, the moment he held onto the hilt of sword, he released his grip, and threw out a palm strike to the right.    

    

Boom! *    

    

Li Jian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and flew several meters away.    

    

Li Bing suddenly thought of something. Leaning on the Dragon Throne, Li Yuan was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of his breath could not be heard!    

    

"Li Jian! What are you doing? "    

    

Li Bing's eyes were about to split with anger and roars!    

    

"What are all of you standing there for? Quickly kill him!" Li Jian climbed up while clutching his chest, and then turned and ran.    

    

Li Bing chased in the direction Li Jian had escaped in, took a few steps, and then struck out with the black robed elder at an angle. Both of the crane skin old hands formed claws with their fingers, flying straight towards Li Bing's chest.    

    

Clang!    

    

Qin Qiong pulled out her long knife and jumped towards Li Bing's back.    

    

"Where is the Yuelin Army? There's an assassin! "    

    

Li Bing shouted loudly. How would he know that the Yuelin Army s guarding the surroundings of the Heartbreak Palace had long been assigned by Lin Chong to other places. The palace maids and eunuchs near the Heartbreak Palace were also not present!    

    

black robed elder's claws were like steel, they could fight with swords, so he was not afraid of Li Bing's might. He trained in Martial Skills s, specialized in finger energy, and possessed extraordinary might.    

    

Qin Qiong's long knife was wrapped in a dense black cold Qi, the blade aimed at Li Bing's vitals and hacked down fiercely. Although it was just a set of yellow middle grade, it still appeared exceptionally mighty under Qin Qiong's elemental energy.    

    

If Li Bing was in his peak condition, even if he could not defeat Qin Qiong and black robed elder, he could at least cope with them for a while.    

    

However, he was poisoned and his fighting strength decreased greatly. After a few exchanges, he died under Qin Qiong's blade.
