Feng Tianyu held tightly onto the sword in his hand. His steps were firm. His features were strong. He walked toward the three elders step by step.

"Dad, don"t bother about me!" Nalan Jing clenched his fists tightly. He stood up again. "Go and protect His Majesty. Even if the Nalan family has to die, we must die in front of His Majesty."

Nalan Zhangqian looked at Nalan Jing with much grief. Finally, Nalan Zhangqian made the decision.

Nalan Zhangqian let go of Nalan Jing and ran toward those three Dark Spirit Warriors.

But, it was too late.

Emerald Elder punched Feng Tianyu"s chest with great force.

The spiritual force exploded in Feng Tianyu"s body. He vomited a pool of blood and it changed into a mist of blood. Then, it disappeared in the air. 

Feng Tianyu"s steps never faltered. He did not even retreat. He seemed persevered and strong. There was a flash of coldness in his facial expression.

When Master Nalan and Qin Feiyang rushed into the palace, they were just in time to watch this dreadful scene. Their eyes were red with blood. 

***

At the street of the imperial city.

Feng Ruqing stopped walking suddenly. There was an unknown anxiety in her heart. All of a sudden, this anxiety occurred without any reason. She had a bad feeling about this.

"Princess, what"s wrong?" Tang Zi turned and looked at Feng Ruqing suspiciously.

Feng Ruqing shook her head. "I also don"t know why… but I have a bad feeling."

Feng Ruqing was hesitant when she heard some news. The news came to her when the wind blew.

"What"s wrong with General Manor? Why did Master Nalan bring along all those people to the palace in the middle of the night? Even Master Qin who"s usually not bothered about those things also went with them."

"I"ve heard about this. My nephew is a servant in the Qin family. There was a messenger from the palace just now. It seems that the people from Long Ao Kingdom had gone to the palace to ma.s.sacre everybody there. It looks like His Majesty is in great danger."

The facial expression of the people of the Iron-Blooded army changed drastically.

All of them glanced at Feng Ruqing.They saw that the princess was in great fury. Her whole presence was sending s.h.i.+vers down everyone"s spine.

Meanwhile… 

In the center of the banquet hall. 

Liu Yunxiao looked at the two old people who rushed to Feng Tianyu"s side. He grinned mockingly.

"Finally, they have come. But, it is too late now. It"s useless now."

"But, I didn"t know that His Majesty was seriously ill. If I knew about that, I won"t be frightened by Feng Ruqing that day."

When Liu Yunxiao thought about his retreat that day and how much was lost because of that, he was infuriated and his eyes seemed much more evil than ever.

"Feng Ruqing threatened me that day. So, Feng Tianyu is going to pay for that today." 

"If you want me to help, just fulfill what I asked for before. Then, Master Nalan needs to kneel down in front of me and beg me. If not, I"ll never help for the life of me."

"Master Nalan, you"ve finally come."

Feng Tianyu"s body shook. He relaxed for a while when he saw Master Nalan. He could not hold onto the sword in his hand now and it fell to the ground from his hand.

He fell backward without any warning.

"Your Majesty!" Master Nalan went forward and supported Feng Tianyu. Tears were rolling down Master Nalan"s cheeks. "Your Majesty, I"m too late."

He did not know that Long Ao Kingdom would attack in the middle of the feast. "If I knew about this, I"d have definitely come to the feast."

He would not have stayed in General Manor because of his laziness.
