Dance Of The Phoenix
163. Arrest Rebels!

"Miss, it looks like Alfonso will make a move tonight. The influence of soul stones was extremely powerful. It's a good thing you've been protecting Vale from being affected by the soul stone." Xiao Bai who had been lurking from a distance could not help but be stunned.

"Man is full of greed. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the influence. Plus, Miss strengthened that influence using soul force," Xiao Hei said.

Xiao Bai sighed. "Huh, I can only pray for Alfonso to strengthen his heart."

"Why pray to that pervert? You don't see him flirting with Miss and Vale at the same time? He even already had several concubines, but he still wanted two women at once! He was greedy and greedy!" Xiao Hei growled while hitting the table using his two legs.

"That's why I prayed for him. He must be a tiger locked in a hunter's trap, helpless." Xiao Bai seemed to be looking at the current picture of the future. Xiao Hei also snorted.

Gu Yuena only noticed the two cats discussing with each other in front of her. He propped his head up boredly on the table, while thinking about something and pensively pondering for a very long time.

Soul power could actually be used to exert a powerful influence on one's mental state. If Bai Youzhe did not tell, he probably would not have utilized the soul stone effect on the Emperor. He will use other, more careful means.

Bai Youzhe had integrated with the three soul stones, naturally knowing her overall strength. Even when he absorbed three soul stones, he was almost insane due to the effects of the soul stone. A person without strong soul force or strong will would experience fatal madness. Bai Youzhe was almost immersed in her own feelings back then. It was fortunate that his mentality was so strong to deal with such huge negative emotions.

Gu Yuena's soul power was extremely high since absorbing the demon monster and becoming a demon phoenix. That was why he was not exposed to the effect of the strengthened soul stone. An ordinary soul stone would have no effect other than a mysterious sense, but a soul stone raised using soul power would cause one to experience a deep obsession towards soul stones.

If thought about it once more, perhaps Bai Youzhe was not completely separated from the influence of the soul stone. It's just that he's not as crazy as what happened to the Emperor.

The soul stone would make one's deepest desires an obsession. Just then Bai Youzhe suppressed her feelings towards Gu Yuena and slowly deepened. When the soul stone stimulated it, it turned into an obsession. Although Bai Youzhe was pressuring him not to go crazy, he did not reject her either.

Gu Yuena felt like she had to take good care of her husband. The soul stone was too terrifying.

"Tonight will be very long" muttered Gu Yuena, then closed his eyes.

The magic circle in his eyes did not completely disappear. As long as he could still see, he could use his demonic eye ability to see the situation. The reason he always knew what was happening in this world, was always related to the eyes of the devil.

He could see what was happening out there roughly within a 50-kilometer radius. It will consume a lot of power due to the incomplete magic circle. However, it was worth knowing the movements of the enemy.

Outside the palace, there were many guards and warriors. Duke Elberg's troops hid around the palace, spreading out and disguising themselves until the time came to replace the palace's soldiers. They do very good surveillance.

Walk further to the city border. On top of the piling snow, an army approached the city gate and spread out. They used special armor to endure under the cold of the snow.

Gu Yuena's smile lifted. The soul stone effect was extremely powerful. Alfonso really has made a move tonight as well.

Normally, Alfonso would have to move in the near future, but not tonight to make thorough preparations. Unfortunately, the soul stone affected him too deeply. Alfonso wanted the throne, he was angry to see the Emperor infatuated with power and would not give up his throne while still alive. The soul stone stimulated his desire into an obsession to seize the throne faster. Coupled with Vale's encouragement.

Everything went perfectly.

Su Churan who was talking with Yun Qiao turned her attention outside. They also feel that something is going to happen soon.

Time keeps going.

Gu Yuena opened her eyes. His red eyes showed high enthusiasm and bloodlust. At the same time, the appearance of the Emperor attracted all attention.

The Emperor's appearance completely changed after absorbing the soul stone. Its aura was more sinister, with a black mist surrounding it like thin air dancing. His red eyes were filled with greed and bloodlust.

His arrival that was different from before left many people confused. The emperor was the center of attention at this time.

Vale came to Gu Yuena's side. He still looks innocent and stupid as always. But who would have thought, he took part in the scheme that Gu Yuena played to control Alfonso.

"Miss, did I do well?" ask Vale. He smiled shyly when he saw Gu Yuena. But when he saw Bai Youzhe, he immediately shrieked and bowed deeply. It was as if he had seen a ghost pass by.

"Very good." Gu Yuena praised.

At the moment when everyone was swarming in curiosity, Gu Yuena just sat quietly behind the crowd.

The Emperor seemed to be filled with euphoria towards the power he had gained. His strength surged along with the pitch black fog, causing many people to be terrified. The aura around became cold and uncontrollable. The shield protecting the balcony was destroyed instantly, causing a gust of snow to enter the room and be blown violently.

Everyone was wondering what was with the current Emperor. The emperor looks crazy. His gaze was full of bloodlust and greed. The space behind him ripped apart, emitting out black mist tendrils that shot towards the crowd. At that moment, the nobles were aware of the danger that was happening in front of them.

The crowd split avoiding the sliding tendrils. However, other tendrils were formed and attacked several nobles and wrapped them into the air. The hall was filled with chaos. Screams everywhere and fear struck.

"Strength .. strength ...."

The emperor is absolutely crazy!

The soul force focused on absorbing one's soul. This is what the Emperor did. He became insane in strength and wanted to devour the souls of everyone within the hall. The soldiers hurriedly stopped when some nobles who had high authority gave orders to save the people.

The emperor destroyed everything and devoured everything in the darkness. He controlled his soul force to capture some people and devour them. However, before that happened, a sword shot out from a distance and severed the soul force wrapped around the people.

Alfonso appears as a 'hero' using his sword to fight the crazed Emperor. The troops behind him immediately entered the hall and surrounded on each side. No one knows when the army will arrive. They suddenly appeared and unsheathed the weapons while instructing the nobles to leave.

Fear runs rampant. Although there were some people who looked calm, most of them were frightened when they saw the Emperor experiencing such a state. He did not look like an Emperor, but a demon!

Alfonso snorted when he saw the Emperor who seemed like he was going to attack him. He used his sword skillfully to fend off the siphoning black tendrils. The light from the sword gleamed coldly as it shot out a huge sword shadow that shot out at high speed towards the Emperor.

His cultivation was at level 7. He is already very strong. The emperor had a level 8 cultivation and had joined the raging soul force and became bloodthirsty. He would be hard to handle, let alone just Alfonso advancing against him. Some nobles who wanted to help had been detained.

"The emperor was exposed to evil and crazed influences. In the future, the Emperor is no longer the same as we know him. I, as Prince, will put an end to the Emperor's suffering and restore the security and peace of Wyvernia!" Alfonso shouted excitedly. His words were supported by the nobles as well as the soldiers who helped him.

On the other hand, Gu Yuena almost let go of her laughter. In his ears, Alfonso's words sounded like a joke.

One did not know who had caused the Emperor to become like this. The Emperor should have been dead long ago since Alfonso learned that the Emperor was absorbing soul stones. It was only his physical body that had been controlled by soul force.

As a result, the soul force in the undigested Emperor's body went out of control, controlling his brain and becoming a death creature. The current emperor was a death beast that controlled soul power. A type of death creature that is more dangerous than a witch-controlled death creature.

Can Alfonso handle it?

This sheepfight plan is getting more exciting than it looks. Gu Yuena could not wait to see who won between them.

Whoever wins, will not be separated from the soul stone.

As it is happening right now. Overwhelmed with handling the Emperor, Alfonso absorbed the power of the soul stone to gain power and killed the Emperor a second time. He obviously didn't expect this kind of result, but things got better than getting the nickname rebel prince.

The power of the soul stone surged even stronger the moment Alfonso used it. The hall was filled with a dense black fog, while everyone was on guard.

The soul stone in Alfonso's control was more stable without external interference. While the Emperor was being held captive by Alfonso's forces, Alfonso absorbed a large amount of soul force and digested it right then and there. His figure was filled with darkness.

Soul power surged massively, creating a wave of dark energy that swept through the entire hall. Everyone was knocked down, including the Emperor. Some people flew out and the door of the hall closed by itself.

As a result of the soul force condensing and preparing to absorb the souls, Bai Youzhe immediately led Gu Yuena and Vale out of the hall. All three just disappeared.

Su Churan was unable to react properly when a surge of soul force surged towards her. He was not even aware, Yun Qiao withdrew his arm and disappeared as soul force shot out and struck the empty air. Both of them appeared on the roof of the building which was the safest place.

Alfonso was filled with dark power. The energy within his body surged extremely quickly and created an unbearable pain as dark energy leaked within his body. The pain lessened as the soul power gradually digested in dantian. The darkness that enveloped him shrank and the chaos became calmer.

However, it did not end the chaos in the hall that was now like a ship breaking apart. The emperor who was free from the warrior prisoners immediately shot towards Alfonso with the strength of his footprint wrapped in darkness.

Alfonso was unprepared for the attack until the footprint landed on his chest. The two of them crashed through the wall and were thrown out of the building after breaking through the pillars until they were destroyed.

The emperor withdrew his hand and landed solidly on the ground. While Alfonso fell due to a tread attack and rolled. He used the sword that was holding in his hand to stick it on the ground and hold his body. On his lips had a trickling stream of blood.

Everyone is automatically protecting themselves. There were not too many casualties thanks to Duke Elberg swiftly bringing his people to evacuate. He had not expected the conditions to be this terrible. But luckily Gu Yuena's plan to smuggle troops between the servants and guards was to help faster.

In addition, they also have other tasks that are more important. It's just waiting for the code from Gu Yuena.

Duke Elberg found Gu Yuena standing safely while watching the quarrel between father and son. The woman watched while eating the colorful chocolate that Bai Youzhe had given her.

Seeing how calm Gu Yuena was, Duke Elberg almost vomited blood. The situation here was very bad and alarming, but Gu Yuena was still calmly watching? He's so confident!

"Valentina, is there any other direction from you? Troop-"

Gu Yuena glanced at the Duke, salutely pointing towards the Emperor. "Help him."

"What?"

"Prince Alfonso intends to rebel and wants to kill the Emperor, will you just shut up? Besides, protect Prince Childe." Gu Yuena said indifferently. Those two people were nothing in his eyes. What he had to treat seriously was still not forthcoming.

Duke Elberg finally understood Gu Yuena's overall plan. Previously Gu Yuena had said to help the Emperor no matter what. But when they saw the madness of the Emperor, they doubted whether to help him or not. The current Emperor clearly did not look like the Emperor they knew. He is a monster!

Gu Yuena wanted to stand by the Emperor's side, supporting him. Moreover, it was he who gave the Emperor a soul stone. Duke Elberg will come against Alfonso who wants to kill the Emperor and execute the rebels. At the same time, the Emperor could not be saved.

Currently Alfonso proclaimed himself a 'hero' and wanted to protect the country from the Emperor who was crazed and influenced by evil forces. While the soul force within the soul stone was within Gu Yuena's control. Automatically, the current Emperor was only Gu Yuena's puppet. The emperor would be 'conscious' and bring in palace soldiers to punish Alfonso who was considered rebellious.

The current Emperor's strength was approaching level 9 with a raging soul force. While Alfonso just broke through level 8. There is a big difference between the two.

If Alfonso succeeds in killing the Emperor, the Duke will execute him as punishment for the rebels. However, if Alfonso were to be killed, the Emperor would only need to die properly from being devoured by soul force. All circumstances would side with Gu Yuena.

Alfonso's consciousness was relatively stable. He fended off the Emperor's uncontrollable ramshackle attack. Alfonso's abilities were excellent among the other princes, he had pure talent and could create a firelight at a young age. So when fighting the chaotic Emperor, he was not completely depressed.

It was different that the Emperor had his original consciousness.

The current conditions are too extreme. No one dared to decide who would support whom so help did not come. The strong cultivators had come at this moment, but could not help much.

The situation reached a deadlock.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly. "Now."

Duke Elberg immediately ordered his troops to come besieging the place. More than 20,000 troops came, while the undercover soldiers immediately came to their appearance and replaced the palace soldiers and clashed directly with the troops belonging to Alfonso.

Alfonso growled furiously when he saw Duke Elberg leading an army against him. "Duke, are you blind!"

Duke Elberg smiled coldly. On the other hand, the Emperor's empty eyes returned clear and filled with consciousness. He was confused for a moment, then his look became full of anger when he saw Alfonso pointing a weapon at him with killing intent. Alfonso had also stolen the soul stone and tried to commit murder against it.

The hall of darkness around the Emperor shrank instantly. Everything is back to normal. When looking towards Duke Elberg, he nodded his head at a glance and looked towards Alfonso angrily.

This sudden condition made Alfonso frown deeply. Something was wrong from the beginning.

"Catch rebels!" The Emperor gave the order with a terrible furious roar. The aura within his body once again surged, making the soldier immediately besiege Alfonso and restrain his troops.

Alfonso remained silent for a while. How did the Emperor regain his consciousness? He should be dead!

The emperor was supposed to die and he would inherit the throne as the first son. But who would have thought the Emperor would go crazy and become a monster. Alfonso thought of becoming a hero by killing the Emperor who became a monster so that it would not be branded a rebel. However, Duke Elberg suddenly came besieging, the Emperor gaining his consciousness and calling him a rebel.

It's trap!
