It was noon, and the early morning had already retired.
Zhao Yingxin and others sat down in the Arctic Hall and were treated as honored guests by the new Arctic Lord.
In any country, bloodshed is inevitable at every transition of imperial power.
Even if the late emperor had written a suicide note, what's more, what's more, Bei Muran disappeared quietly, leaving a big mess behind?
The old ruler of the North Pole fathered a total of thirty-three princes.
Except for the seven people who were too young or whose own power was too weak and chose to rely on other princes, there were still twenty-seven.
During the fight, several people saw that the situation was not good and chose to retreat and live in seclusion to avoid disaster.
In the end, after a battle for imperial power, the eleventh prince Bei Huanfeng was the only one left alive in the imperial capital.
Bei Huanfeng defeated all the princes in a battle and successfully ascended the throne. This should have been a great event worth celebrating. But now, Bei Huanfeng is not happy at all——
Because he discovered that the treasure trove inherited by the Arctic Kingdom royal family for thousands of years, including countless gold coins, spiritual stones, mysterious crystal materials, etc., had been emptied out long ago.
The new emperor ascended the throne, but none of the treasure trove he was supposed to inherit was left. This made Bei Huan Feng gnash his teeth in hatred and almost go crazy!
Throughout the history of the country, such a bizarre incident has never happened to him. This guy cursed his father and brother in private.
He thought that it must be one of the two people who secretly took away the treasure in the secret vault; or simply that the two of them conspired together to "take the money and escape" together——
After all, Bei Mulan and Bei Lieyang disappeared on the same day, and they each held the Yin and Yang Dual Keys, so it was easy for people to connect them with the theft of the royal treasury.
In this way, Chen Shen was completely freed from suspicion, but he unintentionally cheated the Arctic Kingdom royal family.
It is said that this is also the cause and effect of heaven, and retribution is not good.
If Bei Mu Ran, the head of the royal family, had no harmful intentions, his heirs would naturally not end up like this...
"Senior Brother Chen Shen, why haven't you come yet? If I had known, I would have walked around a little longer."
"The Candy Road in Xihua Street is full of candy sellers. There is an old lady who makes candied haws of apples that are so delicious!" When the porcelain doll Liu Susu said this, she subconsciously licked her lips.
"You!" Zhao Yingxin smiled.
"High disciple of Qingyun Sect, Chen Shen has arrived!" Suddenly, the young eunuch outside the palace sang loudly.
"Squeak——"
The palace door opened wide, and a young man in scantily clad clothes strode in: "I'm sorry I'm late."
The person who came was Chen Shen. He changed back into the gray robe of a servant disciple of the Qingyun Sect. In order to pretend to be injured, he had made holes and scratches by himself. People who didn't know it thought this guy was...
Where did the beggar come from!
"Oh, you've finally arrived." Liu Susu put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you're not ashamed to let us beauties wait for you for so long?"
"Uh...Senior Sister Zhao only said that we would be reunited today, but did not mention the specific time. I thought that as long as we rush back to the Imperial City before midnight, it would not be considered overdue."
Zhao Yingxin smiled faintly: "Senior Brother Chen, I can't afford to be called senior sister now. It's time for you to change your words."
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get on the road."
After saying that, this beauty in white clothes stood up gracefully and said to the young man in dragon robe on the throne: "Please also ask His Highness the Lord to activate the teleportation array for us."
Bei Huanfeng hurriedly stood up and nodded: "Okay, Xiao Wang will open a teleportation array for you now."
"I would also like to trouble you all the disciples of the sect to say a few kind words for our Arctic royal family, and I will make a sacrifice at the end of this year..."
Zhao Yingxin interrupted calmly: "I will report the matter to the sect truthfully about the theft of the royal treasury, the disappearance of the old emperor, etc. You can rest assured."
"But whether the sect's senior officials are willing to reduce your country's offerings for this reason is beyond my control, as an outer disciple."
"This... okay! I'll thank you all for that!" Bei Huanfeng sighed heavily.
Just when he lowered his head, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Here comes someone, activate the teleportation array!"
"Buzz!"
Just as Bei Huanfeng shouted, an energy barrier suddenly rose outside the hall.
The formation was activated, but it was not a teleportation formation that sent Chen Shen and others back to the sect, but a palace-protecting formation that was activated by many close ministers outside the palace sacrificing their own profound energy!
At the same time, dozens of generals sitting with him in the Arctic Hall suddenly became angry.
They all wielded sharp weapons and attacked the Qingyun Sect disciples without any explanation!
"Um?"
"You, you dare to plot against us, you are going to rebel!"
Liu Susu and others were immediately horrified, and hurriedly used their body-protecting Xuan Qi to deal with dozens of high-grade Xuan Masters, and even seven low-grade Xuan Kings and two generals in the middle-grade Xuan King realm.
Bei Huanfeng smiled sinisterly: "Hey hey hey, you were killed by the monster in the Lion's Mouth Cave due to unfavorable performance of your mission. What does it have to do with my Arctic Imperial Court?"
"Damn Shuzi!"
Han Yuankui was furious: "Do you think that by killing us and throwing the bodies into the Lion's Mouth Cave, you can hide it from the sect's detection?"
"Hmph! Bei Huanfeng, you underestimate the methods of the Xiujie Sect!"
Liu Susu also hurriedly spoke: "That's right! Stop now if you are wise, and we may be able to take the punishment lightly. Otherwise, if anything happens to us today, you and your family will not be able to escape the fate of being massacred in the future!"
When Bei Huanfeng heard this, he was not surprised but became angry: "Humph! You are so alarmist!"
"Even if I return you to the sect, how can you really say good things for our Arctic Kingdom? According to the Qingyun Sect's behavior, they will not care about the national crisis in our Arctic Kingdom."
"And all the envoys of the Qingyun Sect have always been willing to accept bribes before doing things."
A general took over and said: "That's right! Now my treasury is empty, and you guys haven't benefited from anything. It's strange that you can sincerely contribute to my Arctic Kingdom!"
"Hmph, if we can't pay the tribute in a year, our country in the Arctic will be hit by a disaster sooner or later."
"It's better to kill you, then kill the next few groups of disciples from the Qingyun Sect who will come to carry out the mission, and use the contents of your Space Mysterious Ring to fill this hole."
"If you want to blame it, blame it on your Qingyun Sect's historically mean behavior! Kill me!"
"Kill ah ah ah..."
For a moment, in the Arctic Hall, which was surrounded by a mysterious energy barrier, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and mysterious energy was everywhere.
The killings, bloody light, wailing, and painful cries caused the entire hall to be submerged in endless evil energy. Outside the hall, because of the mysterious energy barrier, no one knew what was going on inside...
"Looking for death!" Zhao Yingxin's eyebrows were furrowed, and her water-type profound energy kept fluctuating: "Frozen mountains and rivers!"
