"This is! ?"

The middle-aged Half-Saint's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Could it be that there are still powerful protectors around the Third Prince! ?"

"Or is this a hidden expert in the palace!"

The middle-aged Half-Saint's expression was extremely unsightly.

The aura contained in this grayish-white airflow made his mind feel terrified. Even with his Half-Saint cultivation, he couldn't see through the essence of these grayish-white airflows. He could only observe their appearance and recognize them as a kind of sword energy!

Moreover, it contained some extremely terrifying power.

More powerful than ordinary sword energy.

There was only one possibility for someone who could emit such sword energy: a Sword Dao Saint had taken action!

But how could such an existence be guarding the palace?

The middle-aged Half-Saint couldn't believe it.

"Tonight, among those who trespassed into the palace, you are the only assassin who got closest to the Xuanhuang Hall!" A voice rang in the middle-aged Half-Saint's ear.

The middle-aged Half-Saint instantly felt his hair stand on end.

He could clearly feel that the source of the voice was not far from him.

"Who exactly are you!" The middle-aged Half-Saint twisted his stiff neck and looked towards the source of the voice.

He saw an old man holding a sword, leaning slightly against a nearby wall.

At the base of the wall, a group of men in black were huddled together.

Judging by their attire, it was not difficult to guess the purpose and origin of these people.

Presumably, they were all assassins sent by various forces in the imperial capital!

But now, they had all been suppressed here by this person!

"Hiss!"

The middle-aged Half-Saint gasped in a breath of cold air!

............

That night, countless heads of forces throughout the imperial capital found it difficult to sleep.

Assassinating an emperor had occurred several times in the thousand-year history of the entire Shenxuan Dynasty.

But as those who had personally experienced it, these heads of forces who secretly issued the orders couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

Even though the target of the assassination was very weak.

Arguably the weakest emperor in history!

But after all, he was one of the emperors of the Shenxuan Dynasty. Even if he only sat for one day, he was a supreme being.

"Don't worry, the imperial guards in the palace aren't fools."

"They won't risk their lives for a weakling."

Countless people were comforting themselves in their hearts.

But the bright moon in the night sky gave them a sense of unease.

"That's not right! It's too quiet!"

"The palace is too quiet!"

Soon, some heads of forces noticed something was wrong.

The assassination of an emperor was a major event.

The assassins they sent had already entered the palace.

How could it be that there was still no movement at all?

For a time, those who knew about the events of tonight couldn't help but feel a tightening in their hearts.

Chapter 11: The Assassin Who Felt Fear, The Assassin Who Was Eaten by Dogs

............

"There shouldn't be any problems. There are no powerful guards around the Third Prince at all."

"And in the palace, we are all working for the prince, so the imperial guards shouldn't get involved."

"Moreover, the assassins we sent are extremely powerful. Even if the imperial guards intervene to arrest them, there should be some movement. It's impossible for it to be so quiet."

"The current silence is likely because the Third Prince knew about the crisis tonight and deliberately hid, causing the assassins to be unable to find his whereabouts!"

Countless people in the imperial capital couldn't sleep at night, staring intently at the direction of the palace.

It was a pity that the palace was heavily guarded. Although they were anxious, they simply didn't know what was happening inside.

However, thinking about the Third Prince's background, there shouldn't be any mistakes, and the anxious crowd couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wait! This matter can't be rushed!"

Afterwards, the heads of the major forces made a decision one after another.

They believed in the strength of the assassins they sent.

They also predicted that the Third Prince would not be able to escape this calamity.

............

Palace!

Training Ground Dungeon.

Under the bright beast lamps, the entire dungeon was brightly lit.

A group of imperial guards stared at the assassins imprisoned in the dungeon, and couldn't help but twitch their faces.

Tonight!

No less than three hundred assassins had infiltrated the palace!

This really made them feel a sense of absurdity!

What kind of place was the Shenxuan Imperial Palace?

It would not be an exaggeration to call it the most heavily guarded place in the Southern Continent.

However, under their guard, so many rats had infiltrated. If it weren't for the newly appointed Commander on duty tonight, I'm afraid they would have heard about the emperor's sudden death in the Xuanhuang Hall tomorrow morning!

For the imperial guards, this was definitely a naked humiliation.

It was a serious dereliction of duty!

"Speak, who is the master behind you!"

Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Qianxing, had a hint of coldness on his face.

If they couldn't find out the forces behind these people!

They, the little imperial guards, couldn't bear the blame if the emperor blamed them!

"What master? I just don't like the Third Prince, so I came to kill him!" The black-clothed assassin who was questioned smiled slightly.

As an assassin, not revealing the employer is the most fundamental bottom line!

Pfft!

Fresh blood spurted from the neck, and the sharp blade cut open the chest!

Dozens of imperial guards swarmed up and stabbed the black-clothed assassin to death with random knives!

The black-clothed assassin, died!

The bloody smell immediately permeated the entire dungeon.

Seeing this scene, the remaining two hundred and ninety-nine assassins couldn't help but frown.

However, most of the assassins kept their bottom line and remained calm.

From the moment they chose to sneak into the palace.

They had already planned to die.

"Bring a dog!"

Only, death was not over yet.

Lu Qianxing opened his mouth and said coldly.

When the late emperor was in power, no one dared to trespass into the palace.

But this did not mean that they did not have ways to torture assassins.

Tonight, even if nine-tenths of these assassins died, they had to know a part of the behind-the-scenes employers from these assassins' mouths.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain to their superiors!

What would die then would be them!

"Deputy Commander, the dogs are here!"

Soon, an imperial guard led a group of dogs and ran over.

"Clean it up." Lu Qianxing waved his hand and walked to the next assassin again.

And the imperial guard who led the group of dogs released the rope in his hand.

The dogs smelled the bloody smell, and in just an instant, they pounced on the corpse of the black-clothed assassin just now, and began to gnaw and tear. This change caused a slight change in the faces of a small number of the assassins present.

"What about you, answer me, who sent you to sneak into the palace?"

Lu Qianxing stared at the second assassin and said coldly.
