The situation inside the kingdom is now chaotic after the discovery of dozens of soldiers killed without knowing who did it. Almost everywhere the torch-wielding soldiers are conducting investigations and searches. Security around the palace and the defensive walls were tightened, and the entrance to the government area was also closed.
Most of the soldiers guarding around the palace were first-rate soldiers, their lowest abilities were at the Swordsman King stage and the rest were at the Emperor Swordsman stage.
Their purpose was all one, that of protecting the security of the royal higher-ups who were in the palace.
The situation forced some commanders to intervene in the search, while King Zhou Lun and the royal family were advised not to leave the palace, for security.
Meanwhile, in the basement room not far from the garden behind the palace, the intruders from the black faction were still meeting.
Tak... Tak... Tak...
There was the sound of footsteps walking towards the meeting room.
Everyone inside the meeting room stared at the door, waiting for who would enter.
Shortly afterwards there was a sound of the door on the knock six times, then there was a sound of footstroke twice. It was a code.
Kriekk..
It was only after the door opened that someone dressed as a soldier appeared from behind the door.
The person who had just entered immediately knelt down, saluting. "Sorry sir, I have come to bring important news."
General Luo Jing nodded, gesturing for the person to relay the information he was carrying.
"The situation outside is currently chaotic, many soldiers were found dead, but strangely all the soldiers who died were all our members."
General Luo Jing's face went bad, as did the expressions of everyone inside.
"Have you investigated who did it?" Minister Yihong Duan asked, looking at the soldier kneeling before the door with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Sorry sir, I can't confirm it yet. But it does not rule out the possibility that the royal people already know the true identity of our members."
General Luo Jing got up to his feet, he cupped his hands towards minister Yihong Duan, "Elder, I will come out to investigate this matter."
"Be careful, I'm afraid that your identity has also been revealed." Minister Yihong Duan looked at all the soldiers, the servant girls, and the commanders. "You better get out, find the killer! If indeed the people of the kingdom have known our identity, then immediately tell everyone to move to attack."
Now in the room only Minister Yihong Duan and three other ministers remained.
"Why do you keep delaying the attack? What are you guys really worried about?" Ask one of the ministers who was fat and thick-lipped. His name is Huang Kun.
"I'm waiting for orders from the Patriarch. Moreover, our members who are in the kingdom of Goading and Dasha have not moved to attack." Answer Yihong Duan.
"Then why would you seek help from us if only to continue waiting and waiting like this. I can't wait to drink that girl's blood." Said the thin-bodied man, pale-faced and thick-moustached. That person was the land minister named Cao Song.
Yihong Duan smiled wryly, he knew who the girl intended to be. The girl was none other than Princess Zhou Jing Yi. According to what he knew, Princess Zhou Jing Yi had pure blood known as white antelope blood.
The blood of the white antelope is very special to the demon beast nation, drinking it can increase cultivation very quickly. In addition, white antelope blood can also make them immortal and immune to all kinds of toxins and light elements that are indeed their biggest weakness.
Yihong Duan was about to open his voice before suddenly the three people who were with him got up.
"Demon aura! Do you feel it too?" Huang Kun looked at the two friends standing beside him.
Cao Song and one other person named Chai Yan nodded, their gazes fixed towards the door.

"I feel that there are still many dark auras and auras of demonic beasts roaming around here. You go yourself to the basement, I'll take care of them." Honglong said confidently, with a thin grin on his lips that was still in its original form. An adorable little squirrel also sucks.
But before Honglong was about to dart down, Hulao was already grasping his body so that the body of the little squirrel was completely inside Hulao's hand.
"Master told the two of us to go to the basement, so not only should I go there, but you should also come with me the rancid squirrel."
Finished saying so, Hulao immediately shot towards the large building that was at the end of the garden behind the palace.
Honglong seemed annoyed, "Say you're afraid to go there alone. You coward." He tried to escape while trying to escape.
Among the trees that are not too thick, from the darkness seen some people walking seemed to settle, then split apart.
"Hey wait! Looks like those guys just got out of that building." Honglong exclaimed as he turned his head trying to stare at Hulao.
Hulao himself already knew the whereabouts of those people, yet he looked indifferent and continued to fly towards the building that had little illumination. In front of the entrance of the building, there were several soldiers standing guard.
With his incredible speed, Hulao killed all the guards there in just one blink of an eye. He walked into the door of the building.
"Hey, let me go. We're here, why do you still treat me like this." Rutuk Honglong while trying to wriggle his body which is still in Hulao's fist.
"I'll let you go after we find the basement that was meant to be."
It took time for Hulao to finally find the statue that Arya meant. So without wasting any more time, he also began to move one by one the statue in the room.
Sreekkt..
Along with the sound of the statue being shifted, the floor behind the statue was split. There was a dark hole that jutted inward, the dark hole looked like a well.
Hulao walked to the edge of the hole on the floor, observed it for a moment and then plunged into it. It turned out that the hole was quite deep, so that only people who had the ability to lighten the body high, who could go in and out of this hole.
Arriving at the base, Hulao could see around the wall of the hole there was a very dark hallway. So wherever he entered it, it was not difficult for Hulao to see in the darkness.
At the end of this underground passageway, they saw a light on the sidelines under the door.
"It seems they already know of our arrival." Right after saying so, Hulao stomped his left hand forward, as a howling wind smashed through the door at the end of the passageway.
Braakk...
The shattered wooden door fragments crashed, partly leading to the place of the people who were inside.
Huang Kun flicked his hand, the flames from the sweep of his hand shot towards the wood chips heading towards them. The pieces of wood burned in the air before disappearing into ashes.
"What business do demons like you come here, interfere in the affairs of the kingdom!"
There was a clashing sound from within, the one who snapped was Cao Song.
Without saying anything, Honglong who had slipped out of Hulao's grasp immediately flashed into the room, launching an attack.
Duars...
The energy clash from Honglong's punch struck one of the men there, a loud explosion shaking the entire basement.
The torch flame that became the lighting of the room immediately extinguished, now the atmosphere became dark gripping. The sound of the blast of energy was still reverberating repeatedly disturbing hearing.
