Chapter 367: The Holy Emperor’s Throne Cannot Fall into the Hands of Outsiders
Xu Su stood in mid air, observing his subordinates progressing smoothly. He couldn’t help but frown as he sensed something was wrong.
“Isn’t the resistance from the Holy Emperor’s Palace a bit weak?” he remarked.
The King of Liaodong burst out laughing. “Southern King, you are worrying too much. That girl is probably scared out of her wits. Leaderless, what resistance can she possibly organize?”
Xu Su turned to Jun Aoshi and asked, “Third Prince, where is that Ye Xuefeng?”
Jun Aoshi used the Imperial Jade Seal and the formation’s connection to pinpoint Lin Fengmian’s current location.
“Ye Xuefeng is in the Red Wutong Garden, and Yunshang is there too,” he stated gravely.
The King of Liaodong couldn’t help but curse, “That bitch, with her father’s corpse still unburied, she’s already eager to serve another man?”
Despite the growing sense of danger in his heart, Jun Aoshi remained silent and headed toward the Red Wutong Garden.
Soon, the cultivators under their command landed at different points within the Red Wutong Garden, quickly forming a formation that enveloped the entire garden.
At the same time, the formation of the Holy Emperor’s Palace was activated, unleashing a powerful aura that pressed down.
Jun Aoshi and the others stood in the air, forming a triangular formation that completely encircled the Red Wutong Garden.
With this triple layer of protection, the King of Liaodong felt emboldened. He roared, “Ye Xuefeng, come out and die!”
The overwhelming aura of the three Void Realm experts enveloped the small Red Wutong Garden, whipping up a fierce wind.
The Wutong trees in the garden rustled in the wind, their maple leaves swirling endlessly in the gale, creating an apocalyptic scene.
The door creaked open. Everyone stood on high alert, but only Jun Yunshang emerged from the room alone, holding Zhenyuan in her arms.
She relied solely on Zhenyuan to withstand the overwhelming pressure of the powerful aura. Her slender body seemed so fragile and helpless against the raging wind.
At this moment, Jun Yunshang resembled a delicate flower swaying in the wind, on the verge of being broken.
The King of Liaodong snorted coldly. “Where is that boy? Let him come out and die!”
Xu Su’s heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally eased. It seemed like the boy had been bluffing all along.
He was undoubtedly severely injured, and wouldn’t let this girl face them alone.
Jun Yunshang held Zhenyuan close, looking at Jun Aoshi in the sky with disappointment in her eyes.
“Third Uncle,” she asked softly, “What are you doing?”
A flicker of reluctance crossed Jun Aoshi’s eyes, but he still said in a grave tone, “Yunshang, Ye Xuefeng killed your father, deceived you, and intended to seize control of the Junyan throne. He is a heinous criminal who deserves to die.”
“I have brought Seventh Uncle and the Southern King here to eliminate the traitor and restore order. Step aside or you will be hurt.”
The King of Liaodong snorted coldly. “Third Brother, why are you wasting your breath on this shameless woman?”
“My elder brother’s corpse is still unburied, and she’s already eager to serve that boy. It’s a disgrace to the Junyan Royal Family,” he spat.
Jun Yunshang’s face turned crimson with anger. “Seventh Uncle, I am the Holy Emperor of Junyan. Please watch your words!”
The King of Liaodong burst out laughing. “Interesting. You little girl really think you are the Holy Emperor of Junyan? Who appointed you? I disagree!”
Jun Yunshang clenched her fists and said coldly, “I am the rightful Holy Emperor of Junyan. You have no right to disagree.”
“Uncle, you are insubordinate and have entered the palace without my imperial decree, and you have forcefully entered the Holy Emperor’s Palace. Are you attempting a coup?”
Her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she asked coldly.
The King of Liaodong snorted coldly. “Coup? The real traitor is you, bringing people into the palace and plotting against your father!”
Jun Aoshi looked at him and said seriously, “Seventh Brother, be careful with your words. She is still the daughter of our brother, the Holy Emperor of Junyan.”
He looked at Jun Yunshang with the same warmth as always. “Yunshang, step aside. Ye Xuefeng will die, and the Holy Emperor’s throne cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.”
Jun Yunshang asked with a hint of amusement, “The throne cannot be passed on to others, but what about the position of emperor?”
Jun Aoshi solemnly said, “Yunshang, this throne is not suitable for you. Announce your abdication tomorrow.”
Jun Yunshang let out a self-deprecating laugh. “And how are you going to deal with me, Third Uncle?”
“Yunshang, rest assured that I will not kill you. After all, you are her daughter,” Jun Aoshi said calmly.
“As long as you are obedient, you will still be Princess Yunshang and you can continue to live a carefree life as before.”
Jun Yunshang shook her head in disappointment. “Uncle, there is no turning back. From the moment you entered the palace, there was no going back.”
The Southern King suddenly noticed the silence around them. He said seriously, “Third Prince, don’t waste your breath on this girl. She’s stalling for time.”
“Hurry up and deal with that boy. Reclaiming the Honored Position is the priority, otherwise we might have sleepless nights.”
The king of Liaodong also realized that the situation was not right. He coldly said, “Little girl, step aside or I won’t be polite!”
“Unpolite?”
Jun Yunshang slowly raised her arm and calmly said, “Uncle, the situation has reversed.”
With an earth-shattering roar, the auspicious clouds of Junyan surged like a tidal wave, forming a gigantic dragon shadow.
A colossal dragon emerged from the Auspicious Clouds of Junyan, its powerful dragon roar echoing as it circled around Jun Yunshang.
At that moment, Jun Yunshang regained control of the Holy Emperor’s Palace Formation. The formation surrounding the Red Wutong Garden instantly disappeared.
The Holy Emperor’s Palace Formation turned against Jun Aoshi and the others, trapping them as if in quicksand.
At the same time, streaks of light streaked across the sky like meteors.
A large number of cultivators clad in golden armor descended from the sky, passed through the Holy Emperor’s Palace formation, and landed on the ground.
The dazzling heavenly radiance rained down, imbuing the golden-armored cultivators with immense power.
With incantations on their lips and feet planted at strategic points, these heavenly warriors swiftly formed a massive formation, encircling Jun Aoshi and his companions.
“Not good!”
King of Liaodong and Xu Su shouted in unison, deciding to attack Jun Yunshang at the same time.
Jun Yunshang roared, her dragon aura surging. Her phoenix wing robe activated, creating a brilliant curtain of light.
At the same time, Zhenyuan trembled in her arms, unleashing a powerful sword aura that sent the two men flying back.
Bathed in the brilliance of a thousand stars, Jun Yunshang was surrounded by a colossal dragon, her skirt billowing and a radiant glow enveloping her, resembling a celestial fairy descending to earth.
“Protect the Empress!”
Two booming shouts echoed as two streaks of light, one golden and one black, descended from the sky and landed on either side of Jun Yunshang.
Zhao Ban and a burly general clad in golden armor stood guard, their eyes fixed on Jun Aoshi and his group.
Without turning around, they spoke in unison, “We, the guards, are late. Please forgive us, Your Majesty.”
“It’s alright, General Wei, Eunuch Zhao. How is the situation now?” Jun Yunshang inquired.
The general was the leader of the Golden Feather Guards, Wei Ting.
He said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, most of the rebels in the city have been eliminated, and the remaining Zhao family’s Qingyu Guards are hunting them down.”
Eunuch Zhao also said respectfully: “Except for these remnants, everyone else in the palace has been executed, and all the lost palace gates have been recaptured.”
Jun Yunshang nodded, not surprised by the outcome.
After all, it wasn’t her who was playing against Jun Aoshi and the others, but Jun Lingtian. How could they possibly win?
She turned to Jun Aoshi: “Uncle, your time is up. Surrender.”
