After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Jiang Xue Ning did not feel that the hug was warm, but rather cold and disgusting.

Now that they were the only two in the room, it was the best time.

"If you are tired, just take a rest and sleep forever underground!"

The dagger hidden in the wide sleeves of the wedding dress suddenly stabbed into Helian Xuan's abdomen.

She said softly with a blank expression, "This knife is for the entire Gu family."

Without any mercy, he stabbed him a second time.

"This knife was stabbed for the unborn child."

With the last cut, she used all her strength and stabbed deep to vent all her anger.

"I stabbed myself with this knife."

Helian Xuan covered his bloody abdomen, fell on her shoulder, and still smiled.

"Haha, they all covet the throne and want me dead. Dying in your arms is the final destination I have chosen for myself."

Jiang Xue Ning pushed him away and looked at him coldly, "Even if I don't kill you, you are destined to be the king of a fallen country. Don't talk so nicely, as if you have a choice."

She ruthlessly tore off his last fig leaf and watched him fall to the ground like a dead dog, blood flowing from his abdomen, staining the bright yellow dragon robe red.

Helian Xuan looked up at her, his eyes gradually becoming blurred, "It's good to die like this..."

He could not accept being the king of a fallen country, and he did not want to be pulled down by Xiao Linfeng and Helian Xuan. It was tiring to live by relying on magic powder to numb himself every day.

"It's too easy for you to die like this. People like you should be cut into pieces!"

Jiang Xue Ning tore open the bright red wedding dress, revealing the white mourning clothes underneath, and said coldly, "The era when Xiling belonged to the Helian family has come to an end!"

She drew the soft sword from her waist and stabbed him in the heart again, "Go to hell and atone your sins!"

The person on the ground had gradually dilated pupils and waved his hands as if trying to catch something.

She stepped over his body and flung the door open.

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside were trembling with fear when they saw Helian Xuan lying in a pool of blood.

Only Eunuch Zhou knelt down with a thud and presented her with the imperial seal with both hands, "Your Majesty has said that after his death, the Queen will take charge of the Western Mausoleum."

Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "He is good at calculating."

Helian Mu's army should have been marching towards the capital, and Xiao Linfeng was no pushover. Her foundation was not here at all, and handing the jade seal to her was like putting her on the spot, fearing that they would not be able to fight.

But he originally owed her the jade seal, so Jiang Xue Ning took the seal and walked out.

Eunuch Zhou didn't care what was happening outside and walked straight in to collect Helian Xuan's body.

As soon as Jiang Xue Ning walked out of the hall, she ran into Zhong Qiu who was hurrying away.

"There's a fight going on in the palace. It's completely chaotic, and it's a melee between several forces."

She looked outside and saw that a fight had indeed begun. Without any hesitation, she said, "Let's retreat quickly and head to the Star Picking Tower."

She entered the palace with only one purpose, to kill Helian Xuan with her own hands. She had no intention of getting involved in the battle for the throne, and she was very clear about her own shortcomings.

And even if they win, they may not be able to keep their seat. The chaos and division of Xiling is inevitable.

What she had to do was to leave the capital as quickly as possible and return to her own territory.

Zhongqiu grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me."

She was naturally familiar with the roads in the palace, and had already selected and planned the road from here to the Zhaixing Tower.

She took her on secluded paths, and when they occasionally met people, Wu Sa and Wu Jin would kill them all with one sword.

The various forces involved in the melee had already rushed in and discovered that Helian Xuan was dead, and Eunuch Zhou was changing his clothes.

"Where is Jiang Xue Ning?"

Eunuch Zhou pointed casually outside and said, "He ran out."

"Capture Jiang Xue Ning. The master has said that if you capture Jiang Xue Ning alive, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"Catch Jiang Xue Ning!"

In an instant, everyone's emotions were aroused, and they were fighting while looking for her everywhere.

And Citang, who was brought in by her, ran out of the palace maids' resting room, looking anxious.

At that time, Helian Xuan asked everyone to leave, and she was pulled out by Qinghe. "Let's take a break and have a cup of tea first. Now is not a good time to take action."

She didn't feel anything was wrong. If she suddenly jumped out, she would probably die without a burial place.

Unexpectedly, the incident happened so quickly. She drew her sword and looked around in confusion. Helian Mu's order to her was to kill Helian Xuan and then kill Jiang Xue Ning.

The palace was in complete chaos, with several factions fighting each other fiercely. However, the Zhaixing Tower, which stood independently in the northwest, was as quiet as ever.

Jiang Li was looking anxiously from upstairs, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them running over.

"Give the signal."

With a "bang", green fireworks exploded in the sky. The person who had been preparing to lie in ambush took out the fire starter in his arms and started to light it.

The people who sneaked in and hid in Zhaixing Tower, according to the map of the palace given by Zhongqiu last night, each of them took a bucket of kerosene and went to the red marked areas, poured oil and prepared to start the fire.

Zhongqiu picked all the places in the palace that were usually sparsely populated, remote and inconspicuous, and then transferred all the people away on the grounds that there were not enough people for the emperor's wedding.

After entering the Zhaixing Tower, Jiang Li asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Retreat quickly, don't fight any more."

Jiang Xue Ning said in a cold voice. Although she knew that she was not the only one who took advantage of the wedding day to cause trouble, she did not expect it to be so chaotic.

"Follow me, we'll go through the secret passage."

Sikong Ling was straightforward and told everyone about the secret passages that the Sima family used to escape in case of an emergency.

The secret passage was hidden in the peach forest where he had set up the Bagua formation. This was where he practiced daily and was a forbidden area of ​​the Zhaixing Tower. Usually, few people entered except for his trusted followers.

There is a spring deep in the peach forest, and the secret passage is ingeniously located in the water.

Everyone went into the water. Jiang Xue Ning followed Sikong Ling's instructions and dived into the water, quickly finding a protruding stone wall.

Turn to the left three times and then to the right twice, and a hole that is only wide enough for one person to pass through will appear on the stone wall.

They swam in like fish, and after walking for a while, the water gradually disappeared.

They stood on dry ground, waiting for others to come in from behind.

While wringing the water out of his clothes, Wu Sa couldn't help but say, "As expected of a high priest, he actually set up a secret passage in the water."

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "Those who engage in divination and metaphysics have dabbled in these things."

They waited for half an hour until almost everyone had entered. The group walked out silently.

At this time, in the palace, there was chaos, fires were breaking out in all directions, and ghosts were crying and wolves were howling.

Fortunately, the palace was large enough and the fire started in a remote place, giving the palace maids and eunuchs time to escape.

Tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs fled. Some died under the sword, and more escaped.

The center of power, which symbolized imperial authority, was shattered and devoured bit by bit by the fire.
