Chapter 232 [231] The Successor to the King

"There are assassins!!"

The screams broke the silence of the palace under the cover of night and echoed in every corner.

Wow~!

The imperial guards in the palace suddenly ran quickly, and the friction of their armor made strange noises.

Uh-huh! Huh~
The palace guards leaped into the air, climbed onto the walls and roofs, and flew quickly.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The masters of the Dragon Guard rushed into the night sky, breaking through the twilight.

The direction these people are heading is towards the same place.

The palace where the king, Fu Jintian, is waiting!

After successfully assassinating him, the people quickly merged into the mist and retreated outside the palace.

However, the king of the Fu family, who was guarding the palace, had already rushed over.

Looking at the rolling fog and sensing the abnormality in it, his face suddenly changed.

"Xiang Wansheng? You Xiang family are looking for death!!"

boom!
The loud noise ignited the night.

The body of the Fu family king drew the power of heaven and earth, transforming into a giant hand holding up the sky, grabbing the strange mist rolling around.

But it was counterattacked. The fog suddenly gathered into a ball and smashed out like a fist, making a dull noise, interfering with the change of airflow and producing large ripples.

Swish swish swish~
call!call!call!
The cold fog rolled in, and the giant hand holding up the sky disappeared and reappeared.

The pressure belonging to the king body realm burst out, filling the sky and the ground.

But there was another force of pressure from the king's body, which counteracted and offset it, forming an invisible collision.

"King's Body? Xiang Wansheng is so great that he has also been promoted."

The Fu family king roared in the air. His tall body and terrifying aura pressed the surrounding air outwards.

"But you think you can leave tonight after breaking through the King Body..."

"Oh no! The king is dead!"

A scream interrupted the low-pitched words of the Fu family king, causing him to stop abruptly, while anger surged up.

“Xiang Wansheng!!”

The angry shouts echoed throughout the palace and even outside the palace.

Without any further nonsense, the King of the Fu family opened up his domain, a silvery-white translucent sphere with water flowing inside like silver snakes, moving quickly like swords, piercing through the walls and the ground, and covering it with a surging thick fog.

Bang~!

The thick fog exploded, and the dark lines, like substance and spider webs, swept across quickly, condensing into a domain sphere and engaging in a head-on collision.

Inside the area, a demon with seven heads, more than a dozen arms and no specific shape opened its mouth and exhaled, releasing wisps of mist.

Chi chi chi~
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The pitch-black sphere and the silver-white sphere, the two realms collided and fought fiercely in mid-air.

On the ground, most of the dozen or so figures retreating were stopped and rushed into the crowd.

Screams, roars, and shouts.

The huge palace was suddenly bustling with activity.

……

In the northeast corner of the palace, where the treasury is located.

"You two should go over and help too."

Zhang Tao, wearing dark armor, walked out of the hall, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I am here, and there is a formation, so nothing will go wrong. But the murderer who assassinated the king cannot be let go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, the two deputies clasped their fists and saluted.

Then, it flew quickly into the air and pounced towards the direction where the fighting sound came from.

"You guys move too."

Zhang Tao looked at the other guards and said in a metallic, sonorous voice, "If you find anything unusual, report it immediately. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

A group of guards responded in unison.

The next moment, they split into four teams and started running.

Zhang Tao stood at the entrance of the hall, without moving, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the fight in the air.

The territories supported by the two king bodies collided with each other, and the pressure they exuded, although not affecting the treasury, was still so oppressive that it was like a mountain and made people feel stuffy in the chest.

As for the collisions in other corners, there were more screams than roars, and from the sound of weapons colliding, it could be heard that those who died were all imperial guards and palace guards.

"Xiang Family..."

After sensing it for a moment, Zhang Tao withdrew his gaze and sighed.

Immediately, he turned around and returned to the hall.

His responsibility is to guard the treasury, and the treasury comes first.

Even the king, Fu Jintian, cannot compare to the importance of the treasury.

After all, Fu Jintian is just a member of the Fu family.

Fu Jintian died, and others could replace him. If several valuable treasures in the treasury were lost, it would be a big problem. Because there is no replacement.

Slowly walking into the hall, Zhang Tao shook his head, lamenting the turbulent times.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and a strange feeling surged, about to explode.

Buzz~!

The void swayed.

An invisible force, like a mountain breeze, blew over Zhang Tao, covering his body and mind, making him stiff in place, unable to move, and daring not to move.

"..."

He opened his mouth and spoke awkwardly, "Senior...Senior..."

"Well!!!"

Suddenly, Zhang Tao's body shook violently, his pupils dilated, his eyes widened, there was a struggle in his eyes, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he could not speak effectively.

The Half-King's breath leaked out uncontrollably, disrupting the surrounding air and causing turbulence.

Boom~
The turbulent flow swirled like a tornado, circling in the hall and rushing towards the gate, making a dull sound.

"what's the situation!"

"It's at the entrance of the main hall!"

Outside the door, the guard who was patrolling around heard the noise and ran over quickly.

The sound of armor plates rubbing against each other, mixed with the sound of heavy footsteps, gathered at the entrance of the hall.

"grown ups……"

"I'm fine!"

Zhang Tao restrained his breath, controlled his restless mind, and his eyes became clear again.

He slowly turned around and faced the guards outside the door. As usual, he spoke calmly, "It's all right here. We just dispersed some of the fog that drifted in. You all can go about your business."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Tao was the only one in the entire hall.

Brightly lit, nothing else exists.

The guards had no doubts, bowed, and quickly retreated, continuing to disperse and patrol the surrounding area.

After everyone left, Zhang Tao exhaled slightly, turned around and faced the void behind him, and saluted respectfully, "Zhang Tao, meet the master!"

"Zhang Tao?"

In the area where the void was, Gu Zheng did not reveal his figure, still wearing the invisible cloak, with a mysterious aura, and sent a message to Zhang Tao, "Are you not a member of the Fu family?"

The Seal of the Dark Heart Slave!

Just now when Zhang Tao turned around, Gu Zheng performed the slave seal on him from close range.

Zhang Tao, who was at the half-king level, was frightened before he could even roar. He resisted for a while with all his heart, but ultimately failed to escape.

Of course, the fall was certain. The key point was that no big commotion was caused during the slave printing process.

"My lord, I am indeed not of the Fu family bloodline." Zhang Tao straightened his body and replied in the same magical voice.

"Then how can you guard the treasure house?" Gu Zheng was curious, "Does the Fu family trust you so much?" "Because I am a rootless person." Zhang Tao replied calmly, "And I am alone. The Fu family has saved my life many times. Over the years, I have become a confidant of the Fu family."

A confidant is naturally the person in charge who can guard the important treasure house. If he is not a confidant, how can you be at ease?

But the rootless people...

Well, Zhang Tao was a eunuch, and Gu Zheng had never discovered it before.

The main reason is that Zhang Tao is a half-king, his aura is mixed and integrated, he is upright and fierce, stronger than most men.

Unlike ordinary eunuchs, they always have a smell of urine and a smell of medicine to cover it up.

He was a eunuch and had no family, and was rescued by his family members many times.

After a long time, he will become the most loyal subordinate.

To some extent, Zhang Tao is safer than the Fu family's own people in guarding the treasure house.

"I see."

Gu Zheng transmitted his voice in a mysterious way, returning to the main topic, "Will it make a big noise if the treasure house is opened?"

"Master wants to enter the treasure house?" Zhang Tao asked. "Use the mechanism to open it. It won't make much noise."

"Mechanism? Isn't it a formation?" After the words fell, Gu Zheng reacted, "There are two ways to enter the treasure house?"

"Yes, Master." Zhang Tao replied, "The formation is a protective shield on the surface. Only the Fu family knows the hidden mechanism. Take another route, there will be less noise."

"Then we'll take the path of the organ." Gu Zheng ordered calmly, "I want to go into the treasure house and take something."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tao didn't ask what he wanted. He responded respectfully and looked outside the door.

After sensing for a while and making sure that no guards were coming, he quickly rushed to the corner and entered the side hall. Behind a beam, he pressed a mechanism to open a screen wall, causing it to move and revealing a staircase leading downwards.

"Master, wait a moment."

Standing at the stairs, Zhang Tao said quickly, "There is a restriction in the corridor below the stairs. You need to wait for a cup of tea for the restriction to automatically close before you can go down."

"Quite cautious." Gu Zheng smiled.

This kind of triggering ban can easily be triggered if someone rushes in without knowing it.

Gu Zheng waited for a moment, and Zhang Tao said, "Okay, Master."

"Wait here for a moment."

Gu Zheng nodded, gave an order, and then he walked up the stairs and entered the tunnel.

With the five orifices opened, the environment in the corridor instantly flooded into his mind. The distribution of the entire underground treasure house was also described and presented as Gu Zheng walked.

The Shanbei Ding is located in the central hall of the underground treasury.

According to the information fed back, the entire treasure house consists of more than a dozen stone chambers, three of which are closed.

The central hall is the largest.

Gu Zheng flew in and saw boxes and shelves with many good things placed on them. Of course, they were of little use to Gu Zheng now.

Including true skills, elixirs, and source fruits.

Gu Zheng didn't move at all, he just took the Shanbei Ding placed in the corner.

Then, turn around and leave, returning along the same path.

Zhang Tao was the person in charge of the treasury.

If the things inside were lost, Zhang Tao would be responsible.

Gu Zheng didn’t want to waste the Half-King’s seal slave after using it only once.

If only one Shanbei Ding was taken away, the Fu family would not notice it in a short period of time unless they specifically checked it.

Even if they noticed it, it would be difficult to suspect Zhang Tao.

This is enough.

……

Follow the passage and fly back to the entrance.

Coming up from the corridor, Gu Zheng transmitted a miraculous message, asking Zhang Tao to close the screen wall.

Zhang Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gu Zheng to come back so soon. However, he didn't think much about it. He quickly closed the screen wall, restored the mechanism, and stepped back to the side.

"Tell me about the situation of the Xiang family."

Without leaving in a hurry, Gu Zheng asked Zhang Tao through a mysterious voice transmission, "The Xiang family, as I remember, is a family of assassins. How come they are enemies with the Fu family?"

The previous situation did not seem like a simple assassination.

Wang Ti of the Fu family clearly called out the name of the person who came, Xiang Wansheng!

"I don't know the specific situation."

Zhang Tao replied in a mysterious voice, "What I know is that the Xiang family and the Fu family are indeed enemies. As for how they became enemies, it can be traced back to the last change a thousand years ago. It is said that a thousand years ago, the Xiang family and the Fu family were close partners, but someone did not know what happened later, which led to the two families becoming enemies. Oh, and it seems that the Fu family felt guilty towards the Xiang family first."

"The Fu family feels guilty about the Xiang family first?" Gu Zheng smiled, "Interesting."

Zhang Tao was silent.

After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng asked again through magical transmission, "Fu Jintian is dead. Who in the Fu family is most likely to take the throne and be elected as the king?"

"Red Elephant King, tie up the Brocade Dragon!" Zhang Tao replied.

"Fu Jinlong?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. He had seen this Fu Jinlong in the Nine Heavens Shadow Domain.

"Yes." Zhang Tao nodded. "After Fu Jinlong, there are White Elephant King and Fu Jinsheng. After Fu Jinsheng, there is Fu Yu. He is the king body that is fighting Xiang Wansheng in the air right now."

"The one who attacked from the air is called Fu Yu. He is at the King Body realm. In terms of replacing a country leader, he is ranked so low." Gu Zheng smiled.

But halfway through laughing, something suddenly moved in my heart.

After Fu Jinlong, it’s King Baixiang and Fu Jinsheng?

The man who tied up the long eagle?

"Is Fu Jinlong in the palace?" Gu Zheng asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed a familiar breath coming from outside the palace gate and quickly flying into the palace.

The one who came was Fu Jinlong!
This Red Elephant King is obviously in the royal capital.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the palace, he hurried over.

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

Gu Zheng chuckled and sent a mysterious message to Zhang Tao, "You continue to guard the treasury. After this incident, find an opportunity to change your position. It would be best if you could lead the Dragon Guard or the Imperial Guard."

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhang Tao clasped his fists and saluted.

"I'm leaving first." Gu Zheng said, and flew out of the door.

Outside, the guards were still patrolling.

In every corner, the fighting between the Xiang family and the Imperial Guards, the Palace Guards, and the Dragon Guards continued.

Fu Jinlong, who arrived in a hurry, first ran to where Fu Jintian was.

Confirming that Fu Jintian was really dead, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Fortunately, he reacted in the next second, covered up the past, and showed grief on his face.

"Damn Xiang family!"

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and growled, Fu Jinlong's eyes were red and murderous intent surged.

Call ~
With a flash of his body, Fu Jinlong jumped over the heads of many palace guards and pounced towards a misty figure not far away.

"Xiang Mingquan? All of you Xiang family members, go to hell!"

Buzz~!

The void shook, and a vortex appeared. The shadow of a dragon-shaped giant hammer emerged from the void, carrying a terrifying momentum, and fiercely smashed towards the misty figure that was charging.

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
The phantom of a dragon-shaped giant hammer descended across the air. Several Dragon Guardian masters who surrounded the misty figure quickly retreated to make room.

When the Sky-Splitting Dragon Hammer comes out, the first thing it locks onto is space, making it impossible to dodge and the only thing one can do is to resist!
The figure in the mist was about to sprint, but he felt the space around him sink and was blocked.

The misty figure, who was already injured, had a weak breath, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth. He immediately growled and was about to fight...

laugh!
Suddenly, a blade that was so fast that no afterimage could be seen streaked across the night sky and slashed into the blocked area of ​​space.

First, it smashed the phantom of the dragon-shaped giant hammer, then tore through space and descended on the top of the Binding Jinlong, splitting the Binding Jinlong in half from head to toe! (End of this chapter)
