The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

In the early morning, the sky was dim and the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist. The disciples of Tiandao Sect who had been guarding the gate all night were more or less tired.

A disciple standing at the front raised his hand and yawned. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to see a figure flashing in front of him. He was stunned, thinking that he was hallucinating because he was too tired.

"Tsk, look at me, I'm hallucinating after not sleeping for a whole night." The disciple raised his hand and rubbed his eyes while laughing and joking with others.

However, when he put down his hand and looked forward again, he actually saw a large group of people rushing up. He was shocked and wanted to shout that there was an enemy attack, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow pierced the air and pierced his throat with fierce momentum.

"Uh……"

The disciple's eyes widened and he lowered his head stiffly. When he saw the sharp arrow stuck in his neck, fear first appeared in his eyes, and then the light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

With a thud, he fell stiffly to the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

All this actually happened in an instant. By the time others reacted, a large group of people had already rushed up, accompanied by the "whoosh" sound of arrows being shot.

"Enemy attack! There's... uh..."

The disciple who was shouting was shot through the heart by an arrow before he could even finish his words and fell to the ground dead.

Soon, all the disciples guarding the gate were dealt with.

The large army led by Qi Daoxiu really caught the Tiandao Sect off guard. After he led a team of 3,000 people and rushed into the Tiandao Sect from the main gate, the other disciples and elders in the sect arrived late.

The people from Tiandao Sect who came out to fight were led by their second elder Yuan Zhen. He had been to the imperial capital of Longteng Empire before and recognized at a glance that the ones attacking Tiandao Sect today were the five major families in the imperial capital.

"Qi Daoxiu!" Yuan Zhen shouted angrily, glaring at the other party with angry eyes, and questioned: "You five major families openly broke into the Tiandao Sect and killed our Tiandao Sect disciples. Are you going to make us the enemy of Tiandao Sect?"

Hearing Yuan Zhen's question, Qi Daoxiu and others looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Your Excellency's eyesight is poor, can't you see?" Xie Boru pointed at the corpses of the Tiandao Sect disciples on the ground and said with his hands spread out, "Isn't it obvious what we did?"

Yuan Zhen was choked by Xie Boru's words. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, saying, "Alright, you five major families want to go to the Tiandao Sect to tear each other apart, that's fine, but there must be a reason, right?"

"The Tiandao Sect has been in seclusion for many years and has never done anything harmful to the world, nor has it offended your five major families. Why do you want to attack the Tiandao Sect?" Yuan Zhen asked with great sorrow.

He looked as if their Tiandao Sect had suffered a great injustice, which made Qi Daoxiu and others feel sick. If they had not known what the Tiandao Sect had done, they might have really been deceived by him.

"Bah!" Yang Zhenglin glared at Yuan Zhen with disgust and said disdainfully, "You know exactly what dirty deeds your Tiandao Sect has done."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhen frowned slightly. He looked at Qi Daoxiu, Yang Zhenglin and others with scrutiny, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

What did he mean by that? Could it be that they knew something?

Suddenly, Yuan Zhen froze as a thought struck him. Aren't the Young Master and his men in the Imperial Capital? Why didn't he send any news back when the Five Great Families were making such a big move? Could it be...

Thinking of that possibility, Yuan Zhen became more and more uneasy, and at the same time, there was a hint of anxiety and worry in his heart.

"Where is our Young Sect Master?" Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes, glaring viciously at Qi Daoxiu and the others, and demanded angrily, "What have you done to our Young Sect Master?"

After hearing Yuan Zhen's question, Qi Daoxiu and others were a little confused. They really didn't know how Wan Junchen was doing now. After all, the emperor only told them that the Tiandao Sect wanted to seize the dragon vein, and didn't say much else.

However, since Wan Junchen and others did not return to Tiandao Sect, they must have died in the palace.

"What happened to Chen'er?"

Before Qi Daoxiu and others could speak, a low and slightly anxious voice suddenly came from the air.

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a tall figure walking towards them. The man had a square face, a high nose bridge, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked loyal, upright and generous.

It’s a pity that beneath his loyal appearance, he has an evil heart.

"Greetings, Sect Master." Everyone in the Tiandao Sect bowed.

The person who came was Wan Junchen's father, Wan Tianming. Since the news of Wan Jiaojiao's death five years ago, Wan Weichuan has become much older. So, he passed the position of sect leader to his son, and retreated behind the scenes to become an idle old sect leader.

Wan Tianming walked straight up to Yuan Zhen and asked with a stern face, "Second Elder, what did you just say? What happened to Chen'er?"

"Master, I don't know either." Yuan Zhen shook his head. He pointed at Qi Daoxiu and the others and said, "Young Master has not been heard from since he went to the imperial capital a few years ago. I suspect they did something to him."

Hearing this, Wan Tianming looked in the direction of Yuan Zhen's finger. When he saw Qi Daoxiu and other people from the five major families, he was obviously stunned.

Wan Tianming frowned, but before he could speak, Tang Bojun started cursing at Yuan Zhen.

"Bah! Old man, this family master doesn't know where your young master has gone, so don't try to throw dirty water on us."

Looking at Tang Bojun's expression, he didn't look like he was lying out of guilt, and Yuan Zhen couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

Did I really wrongly accuse the five major families? Did the young master's disappearance really have nothing to do with them?

Tang Bojun certainly didn't feel guilty! Because he believed he hadn't lied. After all, he wasn't there when Wan Junchen went to the palace to grab the dragon vein, so of course he didn't know where he had gone!

Wan Tianming glared at Yuan Zhen, then turned to look at Qi Daoxiu and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care whether Chen'er's disappearance has anything to do with you. Now, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

As he spoke, Wan Tianming's cold gaze swept over the corpses of the Tiandao Sect disciples on the ground, and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.

"Master Qi, you five major families have trespassed into the Tiandao Sect and killed our disciples. What is your intention?" Wan Tianming's sharp eyes fell on Qi Daoxiu's face, and his tone was sinister and questioning. "Can this be understood as you five major families wanting to go to war with our Tiandao Sect?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Daoxiu and the others showed speechless expressions on their faces again. For the first time, they felt that the people of Tiandao Sect might not have very high IQs, otherwise, why would they ask such stupid questions!
