Chapter 113 Chaos
The Illusionary Spirit Mansion, once a tranquil and mysterious residence, is now shrouded in an unprecedented gloom due to the ambition of the Fourth Prince, Liu Lingyu.
He had long coveted the throne of King Ling and meticulously planned this bloody coup that would overthrow the monarchy.
Night fell, the moonlight was blood-red, and shouts of killing rose and fell inside and outside the mansion, as if the whole world had fallen into an abyss of chaos and despair.
The four spirit stars of Poetry, Wine, Flowers, and Tea in the Illusionary Spirit Garden, as the last line of defense protecting the Illusionary Spirit Palace, received an emergency summons. Without hesitation, they each led their elite troops to the battlefield at top speed.
The four spirit stars, each possessing unique skills, are the unshakable cornerstone of the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
However, faced with the massive army brought by the Fourth Prince, the two sides clashed like a raging torrent, and the ferocity of the battle was shocking.
At this critical moment of life and death, one of Hua Lingxing's men, his face full of anxiety, rushed through the thick smoke and arrived at the courtyard where the Su family village was.
His arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility of the place.
At this moment, the faces of Da Tou, Shi Zi, Xiao Man, Shui Er, Xiao He, Yuan Er, and the villagers of Su Family Village were all shrouded in a thick layer of gloom, revealing a solemn expression.
After Da Tou and the others heard the report from Sister Yang's subordinates, everyone's brows furrowed tightly, as if they were firmly locked by an invisible padlock.
Without hesitation, they immediately sat in a circle and began an urgent discussion meeting.
Big Head's already broad forehead was now wrinkled even more, resembling the undulating mountains and rivers.
He said without hesitation and with certainty, "Shui'er, Xiaohe, and Yuan'er."
The three of you should quickly lead everyone to escape this place, and you must be fast.
Shizi, Xiaoman, and I will head to the Illusionary Spirit Mansion to support Sister Yang and the others.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly sprang into action, splitting into two groups.
The three girls knew that time was of the essence and dared not delay for even a moment. They, along with many villagers from Sujia Village, were all extremely nervous.
After hurriedly packing their simple belongings, everyone, like startled birds, rushed out of the city.
At the same time, Da Tou, Shi Zi, and Xiao Man displayed their superb lightness skills.
With a flash, they moved like three dazzling bolts of lightning across the black night sky, instantly tearing through the heavy darkness and speeding toward the location of the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
As they approached the Illusionary Spirit Palace, the scene before them was terrifying.
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides fought like mad beasts, tearing at each other amidst flashing swords and the heavy stench of blood filling the air.
Without hesitation, the three drew their weapons and rushed into the battlefield. Their arrival added a tragic touch to this brutal battle.
With their extraordinary skills and superb swordsmanship, Shi Zi and his companions were invincible on the battlefield.
While killing enemies, he nimbly weaved through the crowd, like an unstoppable storm, heading straight for the core area of the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
When he finally stepped into the mansion, he saw the Four Spirit Stars locked in a fierce battle with the experts under the command of the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu.
Shi Zi immediately spotted Hua Lingxing—Sister Yang—fighting fiercely. Her figure appeared exceptionally resilient amidst the flashing swords.
Shi Zi felt a surge of warmth in his heart and shouted, "Sister Yang, let me help you!"
Immediately, his swordsmanship became even more ferocious, each strike imbued with his current rage.
Hua Lingxing heard the sound, fought back her opponent with all her might, and turned around to see Shi Zi coming.
He hurriedly shouted, "Shizi, quickly mount your fast horse and head west to Sichao. King Ling should be in Ling Kingdom by now. Tell King Ling what has happened here."
After Hua Lingxing finished speaking, she immediately turned around and charged towards her opponent, continuing to engage in fierce combat.
Upon hearing Hua Lingxing's words, Shi Zi firmly replied, "Sister Yang, I understand. I will definitely deliver the message."
Upon hearing the conversation between Hua Lingxing and Shi Zi, the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu's face darkened, his eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at Shi Zi, shouting to his men, "Stop him! Kill him for me!"
Liu Lingyu's men immediately surrounded Shi Zi, and the battle became increasingly fierce and dangerous.
Despite being surrounded by the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu's men, Shi Zi's eyes remained firm, showing no fear.
His sword moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, slashing left and thrusting right, and several enemies fell to his blade in an instant.
However, facing the relentless onslaught of enemies, Shi Zi gradually began to feel the strain.
His clothes were stained with blood, some from enemies and some from his own.
Just then, an enemy took advantage of his unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack from behind.
Shi Zi keenly sensed it, dodged to the side, and with a backhand slash, stabbed the attacker to the ground.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me?" Shi Zi roared, charging forward once again.
But there were simply too many enemies, and Shi Zi gradually found himself surrounded.
His internal energy was also being depleted, and his movements began to slow down.
Just at this critical moment, Da Tou and Xiao Man arrived in time.
"Stone, we're here to help you." Big Head brandished his sword and instantly killed several enemies.
Xiaoman, sword in hand, moved like a tiger descending a mountain, clearing a path for Shizi.
"Big Head, Sister Yang asked me to inform the Spirit King and the others. Can you hold them off?"
Upon hearing what Shi Zi said, Da Tou didn't waste any words. While fighting the enemy, he shouted, "Then why don't you hurry up and leave? Xiao Man and I are here."
Xiaoman charged toward Liu Lingyu with her sword, but was blocked by a master beside him. The master lightly touched Xiaoman's sword, and Xiaoman felt as if her sword was no longer under his control.
Xiaoman quickly retreated, taking several steps back even after reaching the ground.
Just as the man was about to chase after the speeding stone, Xiaoman rushed forward again without hesitation, like an arrow released from a bow.
However, it is regrettable that although Xiaoman's courage is commendable, the gap in strength is simply too great.
After only one exchange of blows, Xiaoman was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by a powerful palm strike.
While Xiaoman was in mid-air, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which bloomed like a tragic blood flower in the air.
Just then, Shi Lingxing arrived at Xiaoman's side and caught her as she fell from mid-air.
After the two of them landed on their feet and managed to stand firmly, Shi Lingxing looked at Xiaoman with concern and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you hurt? How badly are you hurt?"
However, Xiaoman seemed to have lost consciousness and did not respond to Shilingxing's question.
Just as Shi Lingxing was wondering if Xiaoman was too badly injured, he pulled out a pill that emitted a faint light from somewhere.
Xiaoman held the pill tightly and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.
Shi Lingxing stared at the person standing opposite her, and couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.
Shi Lingxing's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Luo Junwu, I never expected you to side with that treacherous villain, the Fourth Prince."
Faced with Shi Lingxing's questioning, Luo Junwu's face remained as cold as frost, and he replied coldly, "It's not a matter of pledging allegiance or not. The Fourth Prince once did me a favor, and now that he needs my help, I naturally have to repay that favor."
After saying that, Luo Junwu exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Shi Lingxing knew that she was only at the Lesser Yuan Realm, far inferior to Luo Junwu, who had already entered the Middle Yuan Realm.
Even so, she remained undeterred, firmly stating, "No matter what, I will not let you succeed today." A fierce battle seemed imminent.
Shi Zi understood that he bore the heavy responsibility of transmitting important intelligence, which concerned the future and safety of the Ling Kingdom.
Only one thought echoed in Shi Zi's mind: "I must inform the Spirit King of this situation as soon as possible, so that he can prepare and thwart the Fourth Prince's conspiracy."
He mounted a strong warhorse, slapped its back hard with the flat of his sword, and the horse neighed loudly in pain, increasing its speed once again, like an arrow shot from a bow, cutting through the night sky.
When the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu caught a glimpse of Shi Zi escaping on the battlefield, his face instantly turned ashen.
He roared, "Chase him! He must be killed without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, his men mounted their horses and followed closely behind. The thunderous sound of hooves and the billowing dust heralded the start of a new chase in the night.
