Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1749: Chapter 137: His Majesty the Demon Emperor! Sorry for the disturbance

…

Although the battalions of Wang Fugui and Yun Mengyu are highly elite, their total strength is only about ten thousand men.

In the vast expanse of Xiang Ancient City, they are spread so thinly that it’s like sprinkling a handful of cilantro in a large pot, pitifully sparse. Once the pot starts boiling, it would easily turn the cilantro to mush.

At such times, one must act swiftly.

The Southern Yanzai Imperial Palace is a very ancient structure, its existence almost as long as the founding of Southern Yan, with a grand and majestic internal structure and countless spiritual realms inside.

If the Great Emperor and the Imperial Guard were stationed inside the palace, along with the palace’s Defensive Array, it would undoubtedly be a fool’s dream for Team Rich and Noble and Dream Feather Battle Team to capture it in a short time.

But now, Emperor Yan Yuanting and his Imperial Guard are being chased around like dogs by the Wang’s Civilian Corps and the Red Fire Heavy Rider of Emperor Qingyu from Liang Country, and the National Guardian Beast [Old Ancestor Qiu Kui] has become a prisoner of Wang Fugui.

With the top-tier fighters not present, how could the remaining eunuchs and eunuch guards inside the palace withstand the ferocious soldiers of Rich and Mengyu?

In less than four hours, the Imperial Palace’s Defense Array was smashed, and the eunuch guards resisted symbolically for a while before being completely captured.

At this moment, the Southern Yanzai Imperial Palace was like a bride with no strength to truss a chicken, completely at the mercy of Rich.

Half a day later.

After looting most of the visible treasure houses, Grand Eunuch Zhao Ninghai was brought to the scene of the looting.

As one of the grand eunuchs, Zhao Ninghai was sent to the palace at a young age and grew up through the layers of selection and training in the eunuch system, now already a highly respected Eunuch Treasurer of the In-Charge of the Treasury.

Among the many eunuchs, he is considered a rare prominent figure. When he leaves the palace, his status is no less than that of an ordinary Commandery Prince, so he is respectfully called “Old Uncle Hai” by countless people.

But now, the once prestigious Old Uncle Hai is unusually embarrassed, not only shackled hand and foot but also sealed with a Soul Lock blocking his Spiritual Platform Purple Abode.

“You heaven-damned robbers~~” Looking at the completely looted Celestial Treasury, as if locusts had passed, Old Uncle Hai felt as if his heart was being cut, and tears unknowingly flowed down, “Even the oil lamps of the Celestial Treasury and the Pixiu statues at the entrance are not spared. You are… don’t pry up those floor tiles! This old slave doesn’t want to live anymore! Be gentle! That palace lantern is a masterpiece, it’s very expensive! Boo hoo~ Please, have mercy on this old slave, give me a swift end~”

The Celestial Treasury is one of the treasure houses under Old Uncle Hai’s jurisdiction, and he has cared for it meticulously for over two hundred years, treasuring every item inside like ancestors.

But now, those “ancestors” he held in his palms have been looted clean by these “bandit soldiers” using violent means. What’s more, they are digging three feet deep, trying to find a secret chamber in the treasure house.

“Don’t cry, Eunuch.”

Just as Old Uncle Hai was crying bitterly, a young man, dressed in brocade and robes, with a slightly round face, walked beside him, bent down to hand him a handkerchief, and softly comforted, “The methods of my soldiers are indeed a bit rough, please endure, it will soon be over.”

The young man’s appearance was not the kind that would make one stunningly handsome at first sight, but exuded a warmth and nobility that made people instinctively feel close, at a glance, you could tell he was someone blessed.

This young man was none other than Wang Fugui.

When Wang Fugui was little, he also stayed in the Da Qian Palace with his grandmother for some time and met many eunuchs. They all served Wang Fugui with great care, and moreover, he was always accompanied and protected by Grand Eunuch Old Yao, so he does not resent eunuchs.

“Young Master~ There are none left! The two secret chambers of the Celestial Treasury have been opened, there are no more secret chambers!” Looking at the young man’s gentle expression, Old Uncle Hai cried even harder, “There really are no more~~~~”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Old Uncle Hai finished speaking, there was a sound of “yiyi yayaya” coming from nearby.

A tree, seemingly carved from Colorful Glass, leaped into a pit created by prying up a floor tile, waving its branches to signal that there was treasure below.

Seeing this, the soldiers searching for secret chambers were overjoyed and immediately picked up tools to start digging frantically.

Sure enough, shortly after, they unearthed another secret chamber, with nearly a million stored Immortal Crystals piled inside.

Previously, when Wang Fugui heard about millions or tens of millions of Immortal Crystals, he thought it was nothing special, but upon seeing them in reality, he realized they could actually pile into a small mountain.

“Uh…” Old Uncle Hai’s cries were choked, and he awkwardly glanced at Wang Fugui with wide eyes, “This, that… this old slave didn’t know there was such a secret chamber either.”

“No problem, no problem.” Wang Fugui amiably patted his shoulder, “Old Uncle Hai may continue to lie. However, for each lie, I’ll have someone cut off one of Jia Bao Princess’s hands or feet, you have four chances left to lie freely.”

Hearing this, not far from Wang Fugui, Jia Bao Princess, also restricted by various restraints, was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out: “You you you, what for cut my hand just because Old Uncle Hai lies?”

“Because I feel like it.” Wang Fugui said calmly.

“You you you… you fiendish Great Demon King! You bastard!” Jia Bao Princess cursed angrily, “If you have the guts, just kill me! If I, Qiu Daoyu, furrow my brow, I’ll take your surname.”
