Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

While Zhou Yiqiao and others were discussing important matters in Luo Xingyu's secret base, the people on Luo Ziyan's side who had decided to rebel against the Daxuantian royal family also gathered together to discuss many matters related to their own interests.

"Your Highness, the Dragon Elephant Guard and the Scarlet Phoenix Guard under Luo Shanhu's command have all withdrawn from our camp under Luo Shanhu's order."

A guard wearing the standard armor of the Rong family broke into Luo Ziyan's tent and spoke in front of the many rebels who had defected to her.

"Oh, is it so?"

Luo Ziyan glanced at him calmly, without showing too much emotion.

While Zhou Yiqiao and his group didn't know how to deal with Luo Ziyan and the others, Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu finally fell out because of their conflicts.

The last bit of tacit understanding that the two sides had been trying to maintain was completely shattered because of someone's unintentional words, which directly led to the two princesses parting ways.

"Since Princess Luo Shanhu has made her choice, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Luo Ziyan's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard from her. Her eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the tent, finally settling on a few bodyguards representing the princes and princesses.

"Everyone, now is the time to show our true strength."

Several protectors exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward first and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the Ninth Princess will fully support you. Whether it is supplies or manpower, as long as Your Highness needs it, it will be given priority to your subordinates."

After this person expressed his stance, Honglian, representing the Third Prince, was not to be outdone and immediately stood up to express his loyalty to the Third Prince.

"The Third Prince has ordered me to be fully responsible for all matters concerning Her Royal Highness the Princess. If Her Royal Highness the Princess needs help, just tell me."

"Hahaha, good!"

A smile finally appeared on Luo Ziyan's face. She stood up, her aura gradually rising, like the center of a storm about to erupt.

"In that case, we don't have to hide our strength anymore."

"Pass on my order, all secret guards assemble immediately, we must let Luo Ang and Luo Shanhu know who is the true successor of Daxuantian!"

However, before Luo Ziyan could finish her words, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the camp, and another secret guard covered in blood stumbled into the tent, his eyes filled with fear.

"Your Highness, this is bad! Luo Lishang's troops suddenly launched an attack, and our outer defense line has been breached!"

Luo Ziyan's face changed suddenly. She didn't expect Luo Lishang to move so quickly and launch an attack silently under her nose.

"How many people are there? How strong are they?"

Luo Ziyan quickly regained her composure and asked in a deep voice.

"There are at least hundreds of them, and... and there are several extremely powerful monks among them. Our people are no match for them at all."

There was a hint of trembling in the secret guard's voice.

"what!"

"how so!"

"Impossible, there are so many of us, how can we not stop them!"

Upon hearing this, the rebels immediately panicked, with looks of despair on their faces.

Except for a few people like the Third Prince who had ulterior motives, most of the rebels followed Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu to rebel because they saw that their strength far exceeded that of the Crown Prince.

After all, in the eyes of these people, no matter whether Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu succeed in ascending to the throne, or Crown Prince Luo Ang retains his position as crown prince, the ruler of Daxuantian will ultimately be the descendants of the Luo family. Of course, they will support the party with greater possibilities and seek benefits after the war.

But now when they heard that Luo Lishang's men had already arrived at their door, their faces turned pale in an instant, and deep despair was revealed in their eyes.

If Luo Lishang's side wins the final victory, those who support Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu will really be regarded as traitors and bandits.

At critical moments, there are always people who are willing to do evil.

A protector who was obviously much younger than everyone else made up his mind, and while everyone, even Luo Ziyan, was still in a daze, he gritted his teeth and encouraged.

"Luo Lishang has held the Crown Prince hostage, attempting to usurp the Crown Prince's position. Now he wants to force the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and become the Emperor. This is truly a wolfish ambition. We are willing to stand together with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with unanimous praise from everyone.

"That's right! We can't let Luo Lishang's conspiracy succeed!"

"For the peace of Great Xuantian, we must stand up and fight Luo Lishang and his party to the end!"

The atmosphere in the tent was instantly ignited, and everyone's face showed a determined look, as if they were the talented and ambitious people who protected the moral principles of the Great Xuantian.

Luo Ziyan came back to her senses and looked at this funny scene, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"Okay! Since you all have this determination, let's fight side by side and let Luo Lishang know that we are not lambs to be slaughtered!"

She quickly accepted her new identity and acted as if she was ready to die bravely, which made the rebels more convinced of their own ideas.

"I swear to be loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if it means death!"

Everyone spoke up in agreement, and their voices echoed in the tent.

Luo Ziyan looked around and her gaze finally fixed on the young protector who spoke first.

"Chu Feng, you are very courageous. I order you to be the vanguard and lead a team of elite soldiers. You must create a gap for me and let Luo Lishang see our strength."

Chu Feng originally just wanted to leave a good impression in front of Luo Ziyan, but he never expected that the other party would directly ask him to lead a team of guards to stop the attacking forces of Zhou Yiqiao and his group.

Anyone can see that Zhou Yiqiao and others' team is now in its prime, and anyone who goes to stop them will only end up defeated and killed.

Luo Ziyan's move seemed to be to reward Chu Feng for helping her come up with a plan, but in fact it pushed him into the fire pit.

Chu Feng's face turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect that his impulsive statement would lead to such a result.

Although he felt regretful in his heart, he lost the courage to refute when he saw the many Rong family soldiers surrounding him.

After all, bringing this team of elite Rong family members to stop Zhou Yiqiao and others sounds like there is still a glimmer of hope, but if he refuses now, he will definitely be executed on the spot by Luo Ziyan.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Chu Feng responded with a slight tremor in his voice, and it was obvious that he was extremely frightened.

Luo Ziyan didn't seem to notice Chu Feng's abnormality. She continued to give orders and mobilized all the forces in the camp to prepare for the attack from Luo Lishang and others.

Under Luo Ziyan's command, the rebels in the camp began to get busy. They were either strengthening their defenses or preparing spells and magic weapons. The entire camp was caught up in tense pre-war preparations.

......

At the same time, at a sentry point fifty miles away from the camp, Zhou Yiqiao and others had killed the last monk who attempted to resist and completely took control of the sentry point.

"I didn't expect these rebels to be so powerful. There are actually two cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refining Stage at one of the guard posts."

"Fortunately, we were fully prepared, otherwise we would have been bitten back by them."

Luo Qingwu dusted herself off, with a hint of relief in her tone.

As one of the Eight Pillars of the State, she spent a huge amount of money in the battle to eliminate Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu.

Ever since Zhou Yiqiao and others left Luo Xingyu's secret base, Luo Qingwu had been leading the way with the Luo family's secret guards. Before everyone arrived, they had cleared out a lot of spies planted on the road by Luo Ziyan for everyone.

"Indeed, Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu are risking everything this time. They have deployed all their forces in Canglong Ridge, waiting to defeat the crown prince in one fell swoop and force the Immortal Emperor to appoint the descendants of the Sheng and Rong families as the crown prince."

Zhou Yiqiao stood on a high hillside, looking into the distance, as if thinking about his next plan of action.

"Mr. Zhou, what should we do next?"

Luo Lishang walked to Zhou Yiqiao and asked softly.

Zhou Yiqiao withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.

"We have weakened Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu's power a lot, but their core strength should not be underestimated."

"I always feel like they won't give up so easily."

"Of the two, Luo Ziyan has been forbearing for many years, but she suddenly exploded today, almost subverting most people's imaginations, while Luo Shanhu is a completely crazy character, and his actions cannot be judged by common sense."

"In short, neither of these two princesses is a simple character, so we should be careful."

As if to echo Zhou Yiqiao's guess, suddenly, a burst of urgent horn sounds came from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, an arrogant voice sounded from above everyone's heads, and a young man led dozens of monks down from the sky.

They were wearing uniform armor with the Rong family emblem engraved on it. They were obviously Rong family soldiers under Luo Ziyan's command.

"Luo Lishang, Luo Xingyu, you two rebels actually dared to hold the Crown Prince hostage. Today, I, Chu Feng, will take your heads on behalf of Princess Luo Ziyan!"

The young monk shouted loudly, putting a big hat on Zhou Yiqiao and others. Then, without listening to Zhou Yiqiao and others' rebuttal, he led many Rong family soldiers and charged into this temporarily formed team.

It must be mentioned that although Chu Feng's team was far inferior to Zhou Yiqiao and his team in strength, they actually caused considerable trouble to everyone for a while because of their surprise victory.

But such trouble did not affect everyone's fighting rhythm at all.

Zhou Yiqiao flipped his wrist, and the long sword turned into a silver-white color, leaving a dazzling trail in the air, cutting off the enemy's blade, splitting it into two, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Everyone, you are just a bunch of deadpools trying to delay time. Don't lose your composure!"
