Chapter 506 Tianwu's Obstruction Delays Military Operations
Tianwu, one of the ancient demon gods, has eight heads and eight tails, and his body is entirely blue and yellow. He is known as the "Water God". Once this form manifests, a water-attribute spiritual power ripples endlessly within the palace, and a rainbow suddenly appears in the sky.

As water and fire clashed, the great formation within the palace was immediately stimulated to the maximum extent, with streaks of spiritual light flashing.

The formations in the Qin Zheng Hall, Ming Tang, Ci Ning Palace, Tian You Palace, Di Ning Palace, and other places were activated one by one, and a deathly aura condensed in the sky.

The Vermilion Bird of the South corresponds to the celestial stars above, and immediately summons the celestial power of the Zhou Tian stars to descend.

Among the seven southern constellations, the constellations of Ghost, Well, and Willow unleashed their intense deathly stellar power. Su Che could even sense the low, hoarse cries of birds, as if some ancient ferocious bird was about to awaken.

Tianwu's body was surrounded by swirling waves, within which countless spiritual beings manifested, and his sixteen eyes revealed a natural compassion.

The eight human heads stared at Su Che before them.

"It's too late for you to leave now."

Su Che exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly took out a bead from his sleeve.

Shen should not run anymore; he ran with all his might.

Misfortune has struck.

The changes in the formation within the palace behind him could not be hidden from those who were interested, let alone Shen Yingbu, who was right beside him.
As a core member of Su Gui's team, Shen Yingbu, although unaware of the detailed steps of Su Gui's plan, had a general idea of ​​its overall picture.

The first step was to take control of the palace.

Feng Buxing led the Wuyun Iron Cavalry to seize control of the palace gates, while Cheng Buyi led the Northern Army Guards to directly seize the palace city.

The most crucial step in this process was Old Su himself.

Su Gui needs to take control of the palace formation himself.

As for how to control it, Shen should not know.

However, now that the formation within the palace has been activated, can Lord Su still take control of the palace formation according to the pre-arranged plan?

What's more, Su Che is also inside.

The Su family line is small, which was not apparent a few years ago. Now, the most talented member is this third young master Su. If anything unexpected happens, not only will Su Gong be held accountable, but even if Huang Tiandao were to question him, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

Shen Ying didn't run as fast as he could, but several Iron Feather Guards dressed in black tight-fitting clothes followed him out of the streets and alleys, each carrying a strange weapon on their back, clearing a path for him around.

Above the south gate of Jiankang, there were already many armored soldiers in full helmets, robes, and belts. They were all wearing dark iron armor, and the red tassels on their lion-headed helmets looked like flickering wildfires.

Feng Buxing was wearing a brocade robe and carrying a nearly six-foot-long blade on his back. His eyes and brows were filled with undisguised murderous intent.

At this moment, the red flag that had been hanging high had been carefully replaced, and a black flag was fluttering in the wind, with the shape of the sun and moon carefully embroidered on it with fine gold thread.

"No, what's the situation on your end?"

Feng Buxing saw Shen Yingbu rushing down from the north from afar, frowned, and asked in a broken voice.

"Something terrible has happened! The Third Young Master has entered the palace and is already fighting with someone."

Shen gave a low growl and climbed onto the city wall.

"Quickly, quickly, inform Lord Su, or something might happen if we delay any longer."

"You've done a thorough job! Why didn't you stop the Third Young Master when he came to Jiankang?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Buxing's eyebrows nearly snapped.

"I also need to have the means and supernatural powers to stop them."

The rebuke from his colleagues put Shen Yingbu in a difficult position. He could only retort, "Where is Lord Su now? If something happens to the Third Young Master, how can I explain it to you?"

"So the movements within the palace indicate that the Third Young Master is engaged in combat?"

Feng Buxing observed the changes within the palace before him.

The array shifted, the Vermilion Bird rose, and the gradually accumulating clouds above the palace were a sign of the interaction between heaven and man. Clearly, at this very moment, the layers of arrays that had slumbered within the palace for so long were unfolding. "According to earlier intelligence, Zeng Mozhou should be in the palace right now."

Shen Yingyi sighed.

"You really are a man of action."

Among those still loyal to the emperor, aside from those elusive and mysterious figures, the strongest force on the surface is this Jingye Division leader with the cultivation level of Buxu. What exactly was Shen Yingbu thinking that led the Third Young Master Su to run into such a person?
Feng Buxing suddenly waved his hands downwards.

The eunuch whispered to his colleague, "Lord Su is about to enter the city, you should hurry up."

Shen Ying nodded slowly.

"Men, mount your horses, let's head straight for the South Gate and pay tribute to Su Gong."

The armor plates clanged, and the black dragon steed galloped forward. Feng Buxing drew the giant blade from behind him and swung it forward.

"Run it for me."

The armored cavalry, as dark as a cloud, galloped forward along the main road of Jiankang.

Shen Yingying led the Iron Feather Capital's assassins back to the rear.

The streets have now been completely cleared, and the bustling pedestrians and merchants of Jiankang have been dispersed by the changing winds and clouds.

A chilling stillness permeated the air, the cold morning air mingling with the murderous intent of the celestial stars above, casting a deathly shadow over everything in the city.

Su Gui was dressed in a white robe, plain clothes, with no armor or weapons visible.

This powerful figure from the Southern Dynasty, who single-handedly pushed for the change of dynasty, now resembled a scholar who had just sobered up.

He rode atop a magnificent white horse, followed by twenty-eight riders, all clad in heavy armor and wearing iron masks. Behind them were four banners, each painted with the image of a dragon and a tiger.

"Mr. Su..."

Upon seeing this person, Shen Ying could only quickly bow and acknowledge him.

"That shouldn't be the case. Has something happened in the palace?"

Su Gui's eyes were clear, and he seemed not to care about this change.

"The Third Young Master has moved faster than we expected and has already entered the palace..."

"Why panic?"

Su Gui looked at Shen Yingbu below and said, "I gave you three thousand elite soldiers from the Iron Feather Guard to keep a close eye on all the changes in the palace. You rushed to see me in such a panic because Che'er entered the palace alone?"

A single question made Shen Yingbu involuntarily lower his head.

"With three thousand elite warriors of the Iron Feather Capital, plus a fifth-rank expert like you, even a fourth-rank Void Step fighter could hold them off for three quarters of an hour."

Su Gong's voice was devoid of emotion, yet it stirred a deep sense of guilt within Shen Yingbu.

"With these three quarters of an hour, I can suppress all parts of the city and kill Zeng Mozhou outside the palace. The emperor originally had to sacrifice a fourth-rank official to accomplish this, but because you panicked, my three thousand Iron Feathers are as good as gone."

"Lord Su...I...I..."

"If you were under Commander Wei, you would have already suffered a loss, so you shouldn't have done it."

Su Gui looked at him and said, "However, you can redeem yourself now. Go back and take Tie Lingdu with you to take control of the armory. I originally wanted to go by myself, but it seems that's not possible now. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to take over the armory, so as to avoid any unexpected trouble."

"Go."

With that, Su Gui pulled on the reins, and the white horse soared into the sky, heading towards the palace.
