Chapter 737: Chapter 610: Succeeding to the Throne of the Jin Dynasty (Climax, asking for Monthly tickets)_1

At the very moment when Prince Xiang’s mansion was rocked by a tremendous explosion, Luo Yan instantly transformed herself into a bolt of purple-gold lightning, speeding towards the depths of the mansion.

The focus of this operation was to be as ’fast’ as possible, to take control of the situation before the people of Prince Xiang’s mansion could react, leaving them no time to destroy any evidence.

To achieve this, Leng Yurou utilized thirteen thousand kilograms of explosives and as many as thirty ’Red General Cannons’, in addition to the ’Meteor Fall’ spell that Xue Yunrou been preparing for a full two hours, along with the formidable power of the high-grade ’fumo sword’. Their aim was to incapacitate the mansion’s protective array with a single blow.

And just as the blast set off, the mighty warriors invited by Li Xuan—Helian Fulong, Dongfang Liang, Lu Xue, Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Hanyun, and Ao Shuying—like fleeting shadows, infiltrated within.

Their only task was to dismantle all the resistance within Prince Xiang’s mansion in the shortest possible time, and prevent anyone from escaping from within.

Ao Shuying transformed into a colossal black dragon and fell from the sky. With her dragon roar, her majestic dragon-like aura immobilized everyone below the fifth house level of cultivation within the mansion, plunging them into unconsciousness.

Luo Yan headed straight for the eastern courtyard. Her speed was like lightning, surpassing several heavenly levels, second only to Jiang Yunqi. Right behind her was Xuanchenzi, whose style speed was only fractionally slower than Luo Yan’s.

The two of them arrived within a mere thirtieth of a moment’s notice. Then Luo Yan’s stlye light crashed like a meteor into one of the side rooms.

The person in her line of sight was a woman of about forty, dressed in a black Taoist robe, with an ordinary countenance, disguised as a middle-aged taoist woman.

Upon seeing this woman, Luo Yan immediately felt relieved and elated.

This woman was indeed hiding here.

This woman was hiding within Prince Xiang’s mansion, even the Xiuyiwei would find it difficult to trace her whereabouts.

"Master Xinhuan, you’re out of luck! On the orders of the Marquis of Guanjun of the Jin Dynasty, I, Luo, am here to bring you in."

While speaking, Luo Yan’s pair of Hongxiu Knife had already swung into action. The purple-gold edges of the knives nearly submerged the middle-aged woman.

Less than two breaths in time, there were several wounds inflicted on the middle-aged woman.

And within these two breaths, their illusion techniques had gone back and forth almost twenty rounds, nearly deadlocked.

However, Luo Yan’s Yi of the sword had already infused into the wounds of the woman, vigorously destroying her meridians, the mana, and the Dao sources.

Luo Yan’s goal was not to capture the other party, nor to kill this ’Master Xinhuan,’ but to prevent her from inflicting wounds on herself or blowing up her body—especially the latter.

Even if the woman died, it didn’t matter. As long as they could carry ’Master Xinhuan’s’ body out of Prince Xiang’s mansion, it would be undeniable evidence!

But after two breaths, a greenish-black color appeared on Master Xinhuan’s face. It was a deadly poison, spreading over her body.

Luckily, in the next moment, Helian Fulong arrived just in time and with one hand, he froze her entire body from inside to outside in ice.

Seeing this, Luo Yan immediately smirked at the corner of her mouth, thinking that there was a live captive now.

The poison on ’Master Xinhuan’s’ body was extremely lethal, but they had plenty of time to identify, analyze, and dissolve it.

"Finally, we didn’t fail the mission!" Helian Fulong gasped, and then looked behind him.

He found that Jiang Yunqi had already stood behind them in the yard, his task was the Gumu. This woman was also frozen in the ice, hovering one meter behind Jiang Yunqi.

Next, Helian Fulong shifted his gaze further to the south, through layers of obstacles, looking towards the study room of Prince Xiang’s mansion.

In Li Xuan’s plan, this study room was also of utmost importance, it possibly held the key evidence of Prince Xiang’s conspiracy.

Just as this thought arose in Helian Fulong’s mind, he heard Xuanchenzi’s delicate voice saying, "The study has been seized! All letters, documents, etc., are intact!"

Helian Fulong’s spirits lifted immediately, thinking that with these two live witnesses, and all of Prince Xiang’s letters and documents, they could certainly nail this case.

Then, the one with a wolfish ambition, the wicked and cruel so-called ’Xian Emperor,’ would have no chance of escaping guilt!

※※※※

At the same time, in the Yizheng Hall at the Taihe Gate, the spacious hall was as silent as death, quiet enough to hear a pin drop, and the only sound was the patter of the heavy rain outside.

Everyone was waiting for the result of the raid on Prince Xiang’s mansion. However, of the over six hundred officials who had knelt down earlier, more than half had quietly returned to their original lines.

Most of these court officials were Jinshis and were very clever; even the military ministers were experienced individuals. At this moment, they all saw that the situation was not right.

Just now, Prince Xiang’s Yu Zhanshi was roaring at Li Xuan’s plan of attacking and forcibly searching his mansion, he was unable to control his emotions for a long time.

This kind of behavior was seen as an act of guilt.

Compared with Yu Zhanshi, Prince Xiang’s usual demeanor of graceful entry and exit, wisdom, decorum, and dignity was quite the opposite.

As time passed, only seventy-four people were left in the middle of the hall, all showing silent expressions, their faces as pale as paper. Some people were deeply kneeling on the ground, maintaining an apologetic posture, cold sweat dripping from their forehead and their bodies trembling like a sieve.

They were all deeply involved in today’s coup, and they couldn’t escape no matter what.
