The people that the Jin Emperor sent to kill must be the most important figures of the four great clans. Moreover, they would definitely affect the interests of the imperial clan. Ordinary people couldn't enter the Jin Emperor's eyes at all. If the Jin Emperor wanted to deal with the four great clans, it wouldn't be as simple as killing three people.
Of course, this also proved how powerful the attendant was. Ordinary people couldn't kill people on behalf of the emperor.
Even if they knew that the Imperial Seal was in the attendant's hands, they still wouldn't be able to take it.
Feng Feiyun stood outside of the palace on top of a jade staircase and gazed at the imperial city in the distance. He saw that the gates were closed with a fiery formation protecting it.
Outside of the imperial city, the flames of war raged in the sky.
Warbeasts and spirit treasures flew in the sky. Occasionally, one could see people falling down from the clouds.
Two rays flew out of the palace and fought at the same time. They looked like two meteors soaring into the sky. Feng Feiyun clearly saw that they were Divine Consort Hua and Divine Consort Beiming. They have disappeared into the horizon.
"How many people do you have in the imperial city right now?" Feng Feiyun suddenly asked.
The princess slightly frowned: "Because of the suddenness of this matter, experts above the half-step level have been sent out. What do you want?"
Feng Feiyun's frown deepened: "I was planning to capture the leader first."
The princess understood his meaning. If she was strong enough, she could directly kill her way into the palace and kill the crown prince. This way, Beiming Moshou wouldn't be able to cause any trouble no matter what.
However, this incident happened too suddenly. Both sides were unprepared and had to adapt at the last minute. Her forces were quite weak right now and couldn't fight against the crown prince, let alone kill him.
Only an hour has passed since the incident, but the flames of war have been ignited at the capital. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to react to such a drastic change in such a short amount of time. However, the princess was able to calmly deal with it in an orderly manner. One could see how wise she was.
"In that case, we must leave the Imperial City immediately." Feng Feiyun quickly made up his mind.
Luofu replied: "Are we going to hand the imperial city over to Long Shenya?"
Feng Feiyun was decisive: "First, as long as Beiming Moshou's men don't occupy the imperial city, even if we give it to the crown prince, he won't be able to do anything by himself."
"Secondly, the Crown Prince only has a limited number of people under his command. It's impossible for him to seize the Dragon Spirit Stone and Imperial Insignia."
"Third, there is an expert of the Giant level by the crown prince's side. If we continue to stay here, we will only become food for them.
Luofu, perseverance is indeed important, but in the grand scheme of things, sometimes giving up is a different kind of offense. "
"Fourthly, don't you want to find the imperial edict and the Regal Dragon Robe?"
In the end, the princess was convinced by Feng Feiyun. She took out the Eight Steps Dragon Carriage. It looked like a magnificent palace. Eight dragon souls rushed out from the front of the carriage. They were more than ten meters long with wriggling bodies and thunderous roars.
The carriage was the fastest carriage in the world. Even a Giant wouldn't be able to catch up to its speed.
Right when Feng Feiyun was about to board the carriage, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure jumping out from the palace's wall. He bent his back and straightened his chest before doing a 720 degree turn in the air. His legs were perfectly straight and his back was straight. He landed on the ground without moving. This entire series of wall flips could be considered beautiful and practiced.
After landing, Bi Ningshuai's beady eyes glanced around. After making sure there was no one around, he slipped into a palace alley like a wisp of smoke.
"Bi Ningshuai!"
Feng Feiyun's body moved and disappeared from the outside of the palace. In the next second, he landed in front of Ningshuai.
Ningshuai looked up and saw Feng Feiyun, so he quickly turned around and ran back.
"Whoosh!"
Princess Luofu also descended from the sky and landed on the other side of the alley, cutting off Ningshuai's path of retreat.
Ningshuai had to stop and straighten his back. He turned around and clasped his hands together before smiling: "So Brother Feng and Her Highness are flirting here. Ahem, I won't disturb you two any longer, I'll be going first."
Ningshuai swaggered past Feng Feiyun.
Feng Feiyun reached out and stopped him: "Old Bi, what's that in your chest?"
"Nothing!"
Ningshuai covered his clothes with both hands like a wife afraid of being raped. He shook his head and said: "There's really nothing!
Absolutely nothing! "
This guy sneaked out of the Thearch Palace, he must have gotten his hands on some good stuff!
Moreover, Feng Feiyun clearly saw a big bulge in his chest, almost bursting out. It would be strange if he didn't steal something good from the imperial palace.
Ningshuai's hands and feet had always been dirty, so it was normal for him to take advantage of the chaos at the capital to sneak into the imperial palace.
Princess Luofu directly took out a sword with a murderous glint. She slowly walked forward and coldly uttered: "The Divine Consort's death must have been caused by you, you thief. I will take your head right now as an offering to the Divine Consort."
Ningshuai's legs became weak from fear. In the end, Princess Luofu was a real princess of the imperial family. Earlier, he entered the imperial palace to steal a large amount of treasures, so he immediately felt guilty after seeing her.
Ningshuai hid behind Feng Feiyun and timidly said: "Feng Feiyun, we've been through thick and thin together. Tell Her Highness that I'm innocent, I've never killed anyone before."
Feng Feiyun naturally knew that the princess was just scaring him, so he smiled and said: "Umm … I can't be a witness. After all, we all saw you come out of the imperial palace with our own eyes. If you didn't go to kill someone, then did you go to a birthday celebration?"
"I just happened to be there … Motherfucker, you two are ruthless. Nothing good ever happens to me, Feng Feiyun. Take as much as you want."
Ningshuai gritted his teeth and took out a spatial pouch. He opened it and placed it in front of Feng Feiyun.
This Cosmos Sack was a Spirit Treasure, and the space inside it could contain a hall that was a hundred meters long. Now that this Cosmos Sack was filled to the brim with colorful light, it was unknown how many treasures it contained.
Feng Feiyun didn't even bother looking at these treasures. Instead, he stared at the square piece of black metal in Ningshuai's hand. Most of it was hidden by the spatial pouch, but a corner was still exposed.
The material of this black metal was very special, exactly the same as the King's Order.
"Give me the King's Order." Feng Feiyun reached out his hand.
"You're talking about this? This isn't the Divine King's Order, it's a rare metal treasure. I don't know what kind of special power it has, but I can't even put it into my cosmos pouch." Ningshuai took out the black metal from the pouch and revealed its full appearance.
This was a black seal half a foot wide with the same material as the King's Order. Earlier, only a corner was revealed, so Feng Feiyun mistook it for something else.
"This … this is the Imperial Seal."
Princess Luofu's eyes were full of joy as she directly took the black seal from Ningshuai's hand.
She held the seal and a golden draconic energy appeared in her palm. After sensing this energy, the black seal immediately emitted a blinding brilliance. A layer of mysterious runes containing the laws of the grand dao emerged along with an earth-shattering imperial aura.
Ningshuai's eyes almost fell out of their sockets as he fell to the ground from the imperial aura.
Princess Luofu quickly recalled the energy and the seal returned to its original appearance. She breathed heavily and couldn't calm the excitement in her heart. This was her dream item, one that represented supreme authority. Now, it was finally in her hands.
Anyone could lose their mind because of authority. This was the power of authority.
Feng Feiyun quietly stood to the side and watched all of this. The princess' eyes were very similar to Shui Yueting's after she killed him with one slash. Both women thirsted for power.
Too similar.
Feng Feiyun wasn't too interested in the Imperial Seal. After finding Nangong Hongyan, he would finish a promise to someone else before leaving the Jin Dynasty. There was no longer any nostalgia for this place, so he remained silent at this moment.
The princess took a deep breath and calmed down before asking: "How did you get this Imperial Seal?"
Ningshuai wanted to cry. He actually stole the Imperial Seal of the Jin Dynasty. If news of this were to spread, it would shake the entire thieving world.
Alas … the reality was that he just missed the opportunity to obtain it.
'Motherfucker, can't see the golden inlaid jade. If I knew this iron lump was the Imperial Seal, I wouldn't have taken it out no matter what.'
Ningshuai thought to himself, but he still answered honestly: "I took it from an old eunuch."
"What does that eunuch look like?" The princess was in disbelief.
"White brows, black breathing, no Adam's apple, a big mole between his eyebrows, and hands like iron hooks." Ningshuai answered.
The princess and Feng Feiyun glanced at each other. This was the Central Attendant. Who would have thought that someone as powerful as him would still be robbed? Even the Imperial Seal was stolen.
A loud shout came from the depths of the palace, shaking the firmament. It was accompanied by an ominous voice: "Thief, where are you running to?"
This was the voice of the Central Attendant. The princess must have used her dragon energy to activate the Imperial Seal earlier, allowing its aura to spread out. This caused the attendant to notice it, so he quickly rushed towards the imperial city.
It came very quickly. That aura was like a giant pouncing on him.
Feng Feiyun grabbed Ningshuai's shoulder and threw him into the carriage. The princess and Feng Feiyun also quickly jumped in. The eight dragon souls immediately flew up and broke through the Sky Curtain Formation above the imperial city. They dragged the carriage and turned into a golden ray to soar into the sky.
In the Thearch Palace, a huge palm that was dozens of meters long came crashing down. The force of the palm wind directly caused the Sky Universe Palace to collapse, turning it into ruins. A huge palm-shaped pit appeared on the ground. It was where the Eight Division Dragon Carriage had been previously parked.
If the Eight Dragon Palanquin had flown out a split second later, it would have been crushed into a golden pancake.
