I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

The ink cloud dispersed.

Returning to Lang Lang's universe, the moonlight fell into the clan's mansion.

"Quickly go out and see if that person has left?"

Li Lang, the crown prince of Changyang County, huddled in the side hall and urged his guards to go out and inquire about the situation.

The guards walked carefully along the wall and came to the main hall. Just as they were about to go out and take a look, they happened to catch a glimpse of the soul lamp enshrined in the main hall.

Only the royal family of the county king and above are qualified to leave a mark here. If an accident occurs, the masters in the palace can use their souls to predict the direction, bad luck, and even cast spells from the air.

The soul lamp enshrined at the top is naturally His Majesty...

The guard's eyes suddenly became dull, staring at the soul lamp at the top, which had been completely extinguished.

When the soul lamp goes out, there is only one possibility!

Emperor Jingtai passed away!

"ah--"

A scream frightened the guards hiding in the side hall.

Li Lang asked sternly: "What's going on!"

There was a cry in the guard's voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... collapsed!"

"What did you say?"

Li Lang's figure flashed and fell into the main hall. He looked up and saw the extinguished soul lamp, which was very dazzling among the many bright lights.

The guards came out with a roar, looking at the soul lamp, their legs could not help but tremble.

Li Lang's face changed, his mind was spinning, and he said: "Old Bao, go and find out if there is any movement in the palace..."

"yes!"

Lao Bao was once a royal guard of the county, so Li Lang could use him with ease.

Li Lang waved his hand and closed the main palace door, saying: "No one is allowed to go out, lest rumors cause trouble to the palace!"

The origins of the guards in the sect's mansion are mostly junior members of the royal family. They are influenced by their families and are better than monkeys.

After the death of the former prince, the prince of Changyang County got close to the third prince and supported his appointment as crown prince. If the news of His Majesty's death has not spread yet, the third prince leads his people into the palace...

The guards could not hide the changes in their thoughts from Li Lang.

Li Lang looked fearless. With his strength in the Qi Refining Realm and possession of a secret treasure, he could easily suppress everyone.

After a while.

Lao Bao returned to the clan mansion and said to Li Lang.

"Everything in the palace is normal, and there is no news of His Majesty's death at all!"

Li Lang nodded, took out a token, and said, "Take the seal and quickly go to the third uncle's residence and ask him to pay his respects to His Majesty."

Emperor Jingtai's meritorious deeds were involved in creation, and if the soul lamp went out, he might not be dead.

"clear."

Lao Bao did not dare to hesitate, and activated several talismans in succession, speeding up, and rushed towards the third prince's residence.

Li Lang summoned four more trusted guards and ordered them to keep an eye on the palace gate. If any other princes entered the palace, they would try their best to entangle them for a while.

Then he turned back to look at the other guards in the palace and said slowly: "Lao Bao just visited me. His Majesty is in good health. Please don't talk about his death anymore!"

When the guards saw Li Lang's murderous attitude, they would never recognize any distant relatives. If they dared to refute, they would become targets for establishing their authority.

So he nodded repeatedly and said that he would never step out of the clan's mansion.

…

East Palace.

study.

The emperor's grandson was reciting the Taoist scriptures when he suddenly frowned and thought for a moment and called out.

"Uncle, uncle."

Before the voice fell, a figure appeared in the study.

He has a square face and a medium build. His remaining left arm is always holding the handle of the knife, and his voice is cracked and hoarse.

"What's up?"

The emperor's grandson said: "Uncle, I must enter the palace as soon as possible. Grandpa Huang has passed away!"

This is the number one swordsman in the East Palace and the brother of the former Crown Princess. Now among the many retainers in the East Palace, the emperor's grandson only dares to trust Lin Heng.

"good!"

After Lin Heng finished speaking, his true energy swept up the emperor's grandson, turning into a stream of light and fleeing towards the palace.

Due to the innate abnormality, the true immortal descended and the entire imperial city fell silent.

Arrive outside the palace gate.

Lin Hengluo stood down, and the emperor's grandson showed his waist card and said that he had important matters concerning the true immortal to report to his majesty.

The general on duty did not dare to stop him and immediately gave the order to let him go.

At this time.

Four guards blocked the door, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Crown Prince..."

Before the ceremony was finished, the emperor's grandson said coldly.

"killed!"

A flash of sword light flashed, and the four guards cut into eight sections.

The general on duty frowned and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Lin is not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​the palace!"

"Uncle, please wait here. If those uncles come to see Grandpa Huang..."

The emperor's grandson glanced at the general on duty and said, "Send hello to them on behalf of my nephew!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng nodded slightly and looked at his nephew with a strange look.

The emperor's grandson is in the East Palace. Under the influence of Jingtai and the former prince, he has always been weak and has no ideas. However, tonight he encountered changes and acted so decisively.

That's good, my sister can rely on someone.

Lin Heng hid in the darkness, bowed slightly at the waist, and held the sword in one hand. His true energy was running to the extreme, and the sword's power was not released.

Not long after the Crown Prince entered the palace gate, he saw a group of people rushing towards him, including a middle-aged man in purple robes.

"General, open the city gate quickly!"

At first, a chamberlain shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty has a verbal order, please come to the palace to see me!"

The general on duty looked gloomy. He didn't know that something big was happening in the palace at this time. He glanced at the corner and waved his hand to open the city gate.

A group of people walked in a hurry and rushed inside before the city gate opened.

The third prince looked excited and had already begun to imagine that when his father died, there happened to be an imperial edict for his succession on the dragon throne.

As for the edict, the great scholar in the palace has just prepared it. All we need to do is confirm the father's condition...

At this moment.

A cluster of bright sword lights erupted, slashing directly towards the third prince's face.

The expression of the general on duty changed drastically. He never expected that Lin Heng would dare to assassinate the prince at the gate of the palace.

"Crazy Lin, stop!"

"There's an assassin!"

The personal servant reacted quickly, stepped in front of the third prince, and struck the assassin's chest with both palms.

"drink!"

Lin Heng roared loudly, and a bloody sword shadow appeared behind him, and its power increased sharply after blending into the sword light.

Phew!

The blade penetrated the chamberlain's chest, and the sword energy destroyed his internal organs, and he died in an instant.

Lin Heng also felt uncomfortable. The servant's palms hit his chest, and the footprints went down an inch deep, damaging his internal organs.

"See Your Highness!"

Lin Heng greeted the third prince across the corpse of his chamberlain: "Your Highness, please let me say hello to you!"

"Cough cough cough..."

The third prince was so frightened that he kept coughing. Half of the blade penetrated the servant's back, less than an inch from his chest.

"My king, I really underestimate my nephew!"

The third prince snorted coldly and walked away. The matter happened in a hurry and he was afraid of leaking the news. The only personal servant in the group was a martial arts master.

Seeing this, the others quickly protected the third prince and left, fearing that the lunatic would take action again.

The general on duty breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to stop the soldiers from attacking, and ordered.

"Enable the formation restriction. No matter who comes again, the city gate will not be opened!"

Lin Heng bowed his hands to the general on duty and sat cross-legged in the darkness to adjust his breath.

at this time.

Outside Fulong Palace.

The emperor's grandson knelt down and shouted.

"My great grandson, Li Xiao, pays homage to our ancestor! Something unexpected happened to the emperor's grandfather. The court cannot be without a king for a day, so we ask our ancestor to come out and take charge of the situation!"

The elders of the Dragon Guard Division kneeling in the outer hall had strange expressions on their faces. No one could have imagined that it was Taisun Huang who came first.

After a moment, an old voice came out.

"Come in!"
