In all his anxiety and impatience, King Qi would never have been able to pick out the subtle difference between w.a.n.g Chong and his clone.

With one Energy Condensation Pearl, w.a.n.g Chong had made King Qi his plaything.

“w.a.n.g Chong, you’re truly as cunning as a fox, but what does it matter what tricks you have? Do you really think anyone will believe your words? This king will get you arrested, and when I announce that you were plotting rebellion and killed these Imperial Army soldiers, I’d like to see if anyone will speak up for you!”

King Qi gnashed his teeth in anger. Without a doubt, he had been played, but w.a.n.g Chong was dreaming if he thought King Qi would just give up.

“Everyone, arrest him at once!”

King Qi pulled out his sword and pointed it at w.a.n.g Chong. No matter what else happened today, he would have w.a.n.g Chong’s head.

“King Qi, you dare! You think that you alone can block the mouths of all the people of the realm?”

An elderly voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with righteous indignation came from outside the palace, and a moment later, the cavalry at the gates parted to allow a gray-robed elder escorted by ten-some Golden Guards to come through. He held a book in his left hand and a brush in his right as he slowly walked in.

His cold and sharp eyes glared at King Qi like sharp knives, burning with hatred and venom.

Yan Wenzhang!

King Qi’s pupils constricted as if he had been stabbed by a needle. This man topped the list of people King Qi didn’t want to see in this tense situation.

There was no one King Qi feared more amongst the officials than Yan Wenzhang. Although Yan Wenzhang was so weak that he couldn’t even truss a chicken, he was nevertheless the dreaded Grand Scribe!

The words that he put to paper were like firmly hammered nails, becoming history that not even King Qi could alter.

King Qi had claimed that no one would believe w.a.n.g Chong’s words, but if Yan Wenzhang served as a witness, not even the most eloquent arguments from King Qi would be able to save him.

Society might doubt his or w.a.n.g Chong’s words, but they would never doubt the Grand Scribe.

“Heh, King Qi, didn’t think of this, right?!”

w.a.n.g Chong grinned. In the end, King Qi had still lost this round.

“Right, I forgot to tell you that I wasn’t wasting my time outside hesitating about whether I should go in. It’s just that Grand Scribe Yan is old and can’t handle long journeys too well, so I was waiting for him to arrive!”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

King Qi clenched his fists, his eyes turning red.

“I’ll tear you to pieces!”

It no longer mattered that he had no evidence to charge w.a.n.g Chong with a crime. He just wanted him dead!

“Kill him! All of you, go and kill him already!” King Qi angrily roared, his face twisted in savagery.

“Three Elders of the Northern Sea, get up there!”

Following King Qi’s order, all his soldiers instantly bellowed and charged at w.a.n.g Chong’s men.

“Hmph, exactly what I wanted!”

w.a.n.g Chong sneered. The evidence that King Qi was trying to rebel was now clear. There was no denying the bodies of the Imperial Army soldiers on the ground.

He no longer needed to show any mercy to King Qi.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Chong rose up in a flash of light.

“Great Yin Yang Art!”

Two cracks of thunder rumbled through the sky, and then two spheres, one gold and one red, emerged on w.a.n.g Chong’s shoulders.

Buzz!

w.a.n.g Chong simply reached out with his arm, and a vast vortex of energy formed in a radius of several thousand feet around him. Cries of panic and alarm came from all around as the soldiers were swept into the air.

At the same time, w.a.n.g Chong shot like a bolt of lightning toward King Qi.

“Impudent!”

“Seize him!”

The Three Elders of the Northern Sea jumped from their horses and lunged at w.a.n.g Chong.

“w.a.n.g Chong, you’ve opposed this king at every turn. This king will see you dead no matter what else happens!”

King Qi’s eyes glowed with hatred as he followed the Three Elders of the Northern Sea in attacking w.a.n.g Chong.

“Protect King Qi!”

At the same time, all the other hired martial artists rose into the air toward w.a.n.g Chong.

Far in the distance, a golden-robed figure was watching all this transpire from deep within the Imperial Palace.

“Imperial Uncle failed…”

Standing atop a high wall, First Prince Li Ying shook his head, disappointment in his eyes. He had been looking forward to King Qi’s plan, but to his surprise, the plan had failed.

Whoos.h.!.+

At this moment, a rock eagle descended from the skies.

“Your Highness, we’ve just received word that General Zhang Zheng’s Beiting Protectorate army has pa.s.sed Gold Bull Mountain and is on its way to the Imperial Palace. It will arrive in about one hour!” Kim U-Seok’s excited voice came out of the darkness, unable to contain the joy he had felt upon reading the report.

“Hmph, he’s finally here!”

The First Prince coldly laughed and turned around.

“Tell the Ghost King that the time is here! Let’s get started!”

The First Prince began to descend from the wall.

“Ah!”

Kim U-Seok was taken aback.

“But, Your Highness, King Qi…”

“Leave Imperial Uncle be. This prince can no longer wait for him!”

The First Prince’s cold and callous voice faded into the darkness.

The sounds of fighting could still be heard from the palace gate, but the First Prince no longer cared.

……

Bang!

In bursts of light and whirlwinds of gravel and debris, the battle at the gates ended much faster than expected.

“Vast Heaven Earth Art!”

w.a.n.g Chong thrust a palm forward, and a terrifying energy that made the entire world tremble erupted out of the void. Boom! “Ah!” In a golden explosion of light, the Three Elders of the Northern Sea and all the experts King Qi had hired were sent flying.

These people were simply too weak in front of w.a.n.g Chong’s Subtle realm strength. He didn’t even need to go all-out to deal with the Three Elders of the Northern Sea.

“King Qi, you’ve lost!”

After pus.h.i.+ng back the three elders, w.a.n.g Chong appeared in front of King Qi and wrapped his hand around King Qi’s neck.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I’ll never concede! w.a.n.g Chong, kill this king if you’ve got the guts!”

King Qi was under w.a.n.g Chong’s complete control and couldn’t even move, but he continued to savagely glare at w.a.n.g Chong, wanting nothing more than to eat him alive.

Although he had been defeated, he would never concede to w.a.n.g Chong!

“Is that so? You think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

w.a.n.g Chong coldly smiled. Even if he didn’t do the deed himself, given what King Qi had done, he would find it very difficult to escape death!

Buzz!

w.a.n.g Chong’s fingers were just about to clench…

Rumble!

The earth suddenly began to sway, and the Imperial Palace fiercely trembled. Roars of fighting came from deep within the palace, and the light of fires illuminated the darkness.

Creee!

A sharp cry came from high up in the sky, and then a rock eagle plunged to the ground.

“Little Sha!”

Zhang Que’s eyes flashed with grief, but without a second thought, he began to rush toward w.a.n.g Chong’s side.

“Your Highness, the First Prince has made his move!” Zhang Que said through his suppressed grief.

Upon hearing Zhang Que’s words and the commotion in the palace, King Qi began to brazenly laugh, his eyes staring at w.a.n.g Chong in scorn.

“Hahaha, w.a.n.g Chong, don’t get too c.o.c.ky! You haven’t won this battle yet! When the First Prince succeeds, your w.a.n.g Clan will be dust! This king will wait for you!”

What did it matter that he had lost? Tonight’s main act was just getting started, and all w.a.n.g Chong was doing right now was celebrating too early.

“That has nothing to do with you!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s expression chilled as he tightened his grip, knocking King Qi out.

“King Qi has been defeated! Put down your weapons or be executed!”

w.a.n.g Chong turned around and raised the unconscious King Qi into the air.

His entire body exuded an intimidating aura that made everyone else seem like insignificant ants.

This was the power of the Subtle realm!

Whoos.h.!.+

The two armies had been fiercely battling at the palace gates, but a moment later, all of King Qi’s men threw down their weapons.

King Qi had been captured, so they naturally no longer had the will to fight.

“Cheng Sanyuan, I leave King Qi to you. I’ve already sealed all his energy channels. Put him in the cell within the residence and keep a close eye on him,” w.a.n.g Chong said.

King Qi was still a member of the imperial household, and his crimes needed to be judged by the Imperial Clan Court and the Sage Emperor. Moreover, given what he had done, killing him would be too much of a mercy.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Cheng Sanyuan bowed.

After handing over King Qi to Cheng Sanyuan, w.a.n.g Chong turned to face the blazing Imperial Palace.

His face instantly turned grim and solemn.
