Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

“Reporting to Your Highness, according to the Ice Group's monitoring last night, several princes' residences, as well as some forces in the imperial capital, had people infiltrating the imperial palace. However, after entering the imperial palace, all contact was lost...”

“This morning, the atmosphere in several princes' residences is very tense, and some forces in the imperial capital are showing signs of gathering towards the city gates. However, the Imperial Guards immediately sealed the city, trapping everyone inside the imperial capital. Among them, Wang Defa and others were escorted away by the Imperial Guards...”

The middle-aged woman reported.

“Oh?”

Xuan Xue sat upright on the throne, her eyes slightly narrowed.

“Has there been any understanding of what happened in the imperial palace last night?”

Xuan Xue pondered slightly and asked again.

The other princes were wary of the late Emperor's existence.

When the late Emperor was alive, they did not dare to extend their reach into the imperial palace.

But Xuan Xue was different. As a former powerhouse in the Supreme God and Demon realm,

a mere Saint Realm Completion was not in her eyes at all.

As the former Empress of the Ice and Snow Divine Dynasty, Xuan Xue naturally understood the importance of intelligence. Therefore, the members of the Ice Group she created had even infiltrated the imperial palace.

“Reporting to Your Highness, regarding the imperial palace, it is only known that His Highness the Third Prince has appointed two new Imperial Guard Commanders. This morning, an Ice Group member reported that the Imperial Guards captured many assassins who infiltrated the imperial palace last night!”

“But the specific situation is unknown as the Imperial Guards are guarding it very strictly!”

The middle-aged woman replied truthfully.

The appointment of the Imperial Guard Commanders may be a secret to the outside world,

but it is not a secret within the imperial palace.

Unless it truly involves top-secret matters, the Imperial Guards will prohibit it from being spread.

“Appointed two Imperial Guard Commanders...”

Xuan Xue's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

“It seems that this 'Third Brother' of mine has exceeded everyone's expectations!”

“Your Highness, what should we do next? The Imperial Guards sealing the city has caused panic among many forces!”

“Some Ice Group members have sent back messages from outside, hoping that Your Highness can take precautions and avoid this risk,” the middle-aged woman said with a worried expression.

“It doesn't matter. We didn't participate in this upheaval. As long as my 'Third Brother' isn't a fool, he won't actively provoke us.”

“However, this matter has aroused a trace of interest in him.”

Xuan Xue didn't take the middle-aged woman's worries to heart.

She really looked down on the struggle for dominance in this small place.

But at this moment, she was a little interested in Xuan Ming.

As the Empress of the Ice and Snow Divine Dynasty, one of the top powerhouses in the Central World,

there were very few things in the world that could escape her notice!

She wanted to see what Xuan Ming had that could keep her in the dark, so that she had no defense against Xuan Ming like an ordinary person.

“After this upheaval, I should take some time to meet this 'Third Brother' of mine again.”

“Perhaps I can use his power to search for Demon Lord Lin Ning.”

Xuan Xue muttered to herself.

Then, she looked at the middle-aged woman.

“Give the order to temporarily suspend the Ice Group's activities in the imperial capital for a while.”

“Also, contact the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce. If the Imperial Guards have any conflicts or negotiations with them, immediately report to me,” Xuan Xue instructed.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The middle-aged woman respectfully retreated.

As the leader of the Ice Group, she was completely loyal to Xuan Xue.

She would execute any of Xuan Xue's orders without hesitation!

Chapter 19: Arresting the Princes, Black Tiger Afu

............

At the same time.

The Imperial Guards of the imperial capital dispatched a large number of troops.

Based on the list provided by the Imperial Palace Guards, they began to seal up some residences and warn some forces.

A large number of people were taken away from their residences by the Imperial Guards, and the entire imperial capital fell into great panic at this moment.

Fourth Prince's Residence!

“Presumptuous! I am the Fourth Prince of the Divine Profound Dynasty, who dares to touch me?”

In the picturesque garden, which should have been peaceful and elegant, a large number of Imperial Guards barged in, surrounding a young man in a dragon robe.

Around him lay a group of residence guards who had already lost their lives.

Due to fierce resistance, the Imperial Guards killed these non-staff members without any status on the spot.

“I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, but this is by His Majesty's decree.”

“Fourth Prince Xuan Aote, you incited your subordinates, who were assassins in the Perfected Acquired Realm, to break into the imperial palace at night, intending to plot rebellion. From now on, you will be押入into the imperial palace dungeon to await trial!” Imperial Guard Deputy Commander Liu Chang said calmly.

“You should have been content with being a carefree Prince, but you insisted on plotting rebellion.”

“Fourth Prince, you should have known such an ending.”

“Take him away!” Elder Liu waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to take away the terrified Fourth Prince Xuan Aote.

“Presumptuous, I am the Fourth Prince...”

“We know you are the Fourth Prince, otherwise we wouldn't have come looking for you. Please.” Two Imperial Guards in the Acquired Realm interrupted the Fourth Prince, then tightly wrapped his arms.

They took him away from the garden, following the Imperial Guards towards the imperial palace.

Second Prince's Residence!

“It seems that my Third Brother has deceived all of us.”

Second Prince Xuan Xue shook his head slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly as he watched a large number of Imperial Guards barge into his residence.

Since he learned early this morning that the assassins he sent had not returned,

he had vaguely realized something was wrong.

Now, facing the intrusion of the Imperial Guards, how could he not guess that the assassination of the Third Prince Xuan Ming had failed, and the other party had reacted and ordered the Imperial Guards to counter him!

However, what Second Prince Xuan Xue never expected was that,

how did the Third Prince Xuan Ming escape the assassination of countless assassins last night!

“You will meet your assassins after you go to the dungeon. At that time, you will understand everything.” The Imperial Guard soldier responsible for escorting the Second Prince answered the Second Prince's question.

At the same time.

First Prince's Residence!

Imperial Guard Commander Chen Ming walked out with a solemn expression.

“Commander, the entire Prince's Residence has been searched, and no trace of the First Prince has been found.” Behind him, a soldier cupped his fist and reported.

“Where could the First Prince have gone?”

“Could it be that he left the imperial capital before we sealed the city!”

Chen Ming's expression changed slightly. He was afraid of this point if he couldn't find the First Prince's trace. If the First Prince ran away, then his position as the Imperial Guard Commander would probably have to be replaced.

Just as Chen Ming was about to order a search of the entire city,

an Imperial Guard squad leader quickly approached from outside the First Prince's Residence.

“Commander, this subordinate found the First Prince's trace on the top floor of Heavenly Character Number One Building!” The squad leader said, panting slightly.

There was still a trace of excitement in his eyes.

When searching Heavenly Character Number One Building, he never expected to see the First Prince's figure. You must know that his commander had personally gone to the First Prince's Residence to arrest him.

But now, he found the First Prince in Heavenly Character Number One Building!

Obviously, his commander must have drawn a blank there.

Thinking like this, he reassured the owner of Heavenly Character Number One Building not to disturb the First Prince, and he immediately came to report.

“Oh? Quickly take me there!”

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Ming's eyes. He nodded at the squad leader and urged him.

Soon, a large number of Imperial Guards headed towards Heavenly Character Number One Building.

............

Eastern part of the imperial capital.

There is a seven-story pavilion.

It is the famous Heavenly Character Number One Building in the imperial capital.

Delicious and affordable, it is a place often visited by dignitaries in the imperial capital. People coming from other places often have to eat a meal here before leaving with satisfaction. Its reputation has faintly spread throughout the entire Divine Profound Dynasty.

With a well-known reputation, even if it is not mealtime, Heavenly Character Number One Building often has a situation where guests are full.

But now, a large number of guests were shocked by the scene in front of them.

I saw batches of Imperial Guards stationed in Heavenly Character Number One Building, with a solemn aura, and the knives and guns in their hands exuded a cold light, which was terrifying.

“I really didn't expect that you weren't on duty in the imperial palace last night!”

“Then how did my Third Brother block so many assassin attacks!”

The First Prince Xuan Yi leaned slightly on the chair, a hint of gloom in his eyes.

He learned from Black Tiger Afu that he was not the one guarding the imperial palace last night.
