Chapter 66 Oolong
The army became more and more scattered, but the Three Thousand Courts were almost completely unrestrained.

The entire southern section of the palace city wall, in addition to Yingtian Gate, also has Changle Gate and Mingde Gate, and there are three more palace gates going inward. Just now, they had used lightning speed to break through the palace gate that was right next to Yingtian Gate, leading the army completely into the palace.

Now the commotion has gotten really out of hand, with more and more imperial guards rushing over to suppress it, the situation is starting to become dangerous.

There was a lot of blood on the street, but there were very few corpses of the imperial guards. Most of the remaining ones were palace maids who were beheaded in the chaos.

However, there were still nearly a thousand Jinwu Guards and the Imperial Guards who were encircled and surrounded Li Zhen. They surrounded Li Zhen and fought their way in, directly arriving at the Xuanzheng Hall, which was used for regular court sessions.

In front of the Xuan Zheng Hall, there were already nearly a hundred imperial guards holding shields, forming a simple defensive formation.

Immediately, a general of the Jinwu Guard came forward and asked.

"The Dark Emperor Zhu Yougui has blocked the emperor's ears. We are following his orders to purge his entourage. Do you still want to resist?"

Li Zhen was held hostage in the army and felt his hands and feet were cold.

How did the fighting turn into "purging the imperial court in accordance with the imperial edict"?
But he had no right to speak at all, as several bad guys beside him were staring at him hungrily, as if they would behead him the moment he opened his mouth.

In front of the palace, one of the imperial guards responded, "Your Majesty is in the palace right now. We are all comrades. How could we have caused the current situation? Whether the Hades Emperor has isolated the emperor from hearing the truth or not, we will know everything when Your Majesty arrives!"

"Bullshit! Your Majesty has been controlled by the Xuanming Cult, how can he prove himself? You are clearly trying to delay time!" In the chaos of the army, someone shouted: "Brothers, charge in and rescue His Majesty, and you will all be rewarded!"

Li Zhen turned around angrily, wanting to see who was trying to sow discord.

But the morale of the rebel soldiers had already been aroused, so they didn't care about much else and immediately started shooting indiscriminately with their bows and crossbows.

Li Zhen had no choice but to be pushed into the army by the chaotic troops.

As for the Imperial Guards, since their bows and crossbows were in the treasury and on the city walls, they were unable to cause any harm to the rebel army formed by the Jinwu Guards. After leaving behind a few corpses, they retreated into the Xuanzheng Hall.

The rebel army began to attack the palace gate without any warning.

Li Zhen sighed and finally gave up.

"It's time to retreat."

Behind the army, Sanqianyuan pulled Xiao Yan's mount and saw that the chaotic army had already surged onto the long stone steps. He asked Duan Chengtian who had followed them, "How many people did Yingtianmen leave behind?"

"Not many, about ten people."

Sanqianyuan then looked at Xiao Yan and asked for his opinion: "What do you think? Should we withdraw or not?"

Xiao Yan frowned and turned his horse's head immediately.

"Take Li Zhen with you, and let's get out of here."

The Three Thousand Courtyards immediately selected soldiers and generals, "Attack here fiercely until the location of the Dark Emperor is found! There are not many people left at Yingtian Gate, and Situ needs to be in charge personally. This place is handed over to you. If the attack fails for a long time, you can temporarily retreat to Yingtian Gate!"

The assigned Jinwu Guard general had a serious look on his face, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he immediately bowed to Li Zhen.

"I will definitely live up to Situ's trust!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the Xuanzheng Hall was finally breached, and the rebel army rushed in.

Sanqianyuan immediately began to command all the bad guys gathered together to retreat.

But suddenly, a ghostly howl arose from all directions.

Suddenly, the chaotic troops that had just rushed into the Xuan Zheng Hall were blown away by the air wave.

Xiao Yan didn't even turn his head and urged his horse forward.

"We've got him, let's go."

Sanqianyuan also felt a cold wind blowing on his back. He grabbed Li Zhen who was beside him and rushed out of the door on his horse.

In the rear, the shout of the Jinwu Guard Langjiang was heard.

"Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui!? Capture him and there will be a huge reward!"

At the entrance of the palace, a dwarf figure walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Li Zhen?"

"interesting."

But before he could think about it, nearly a thousand soldiers swarmed over from the long steps.

…………

Dozens of riders rushed out from Yingtian Gate.

Li Zhen's face was constantly cut by the cold wind, and he suddenly realized it belatedly and became terrified. "You have such sinister thoughts, you actually want the Hades Emperor and the Imperial Guards to fight to the death!?"

"Situ really talks a lot."

Sanqianyuan laughed, but looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Leaving the Imperial City?"

"It's almost time."

They did not stop, leaving behind an unguarded Yingtian Gate and headed straight for Zuoyemen Street.

……

Ghostly energy flew out from within the palace city. Wherever it passed, the soldiers who came into contact with it became like being haunted by ghosts. They instantly turned black and purple in color and fell to the ground dead.

There was almost no blood on the long steps, but they were filled with fallen corpses.

The rebel army was finally frightened and not only did their offensive slow down, but even the imperial guards who had been dragged in began to flee.

Slowly, more and more imperial troops appeared to suppress the riots.

The Jinwu Guard general also felt a dry throat, and seeing that the defeat was completely unstoppable, he was about to run away.

Zhu Yougui laughed shrilly, and his body moved without wind, floating out at a rapid speed.

His feet barely touched the ground, but he instantly reached the back of the chaotic army.

The general's eyes narrowed and he was thrown off his horse by a ghostly aura.

Immediately, an invisible hand clamped his neck and lifted him up in an instant.

"It's you who wants to take me down?"

"Xuanming Sect, treason..." General Lang covered his neck tightly, and finally couldn't hold on any longer, and said in a hoarse voice: "It was all Li Situ's idea..."

Zhu Yougui smiled grimly, stretched out his hand and grasped the air, and Lang Jiang's head instantly turned to ashes.

All the rebel troops retreated in fear.

He raised his hand, and his dark purple face looked extremely gloomy in the firelight.

But before he could say anything, there was another noise coming from the Xuanzheng Hall.

Several palace servants nervously held palace lanterns, lighting up the dark hall a little.

Zhu Wen, with a gloomy face, strode out surrounded by several generals of the imperial guards and the Ghost King.

In his sight, Zhu Yougui was floating in the air like a god, and nearly a thousand soldiers below were looking up at him, which surprisingly seemed extremely majestic.

Of course, to Zhu Wen, this second son who was known as the "Emperor of the Underworld" seemed particularly disgusting at this time. His appearance, which was neither human nor ghost, made him extremely disgusted.

"Evil creature, do you want to rebel and kill your father?"

Zhu Yougui was frightened by this shout and immediately knelt down and said, "Father, why do you say that? I am here to quell the rebellion for you!"

"You bastard, do I need you to quell the rebellion?!"

Zhu Wen felt a surge of anger and pointed at the rebels: "Why are you causing chaos?"

"Yes, we heard that the Xuanming Sect was plotting a rebellion. For the sake of your majesty's safety, we will kill the Dark Emperor and clear the court..."

At this time, all the rebel troops fearfully laid down their weapons and saw the situation clearly.

Zhu Yougui was so angry that his blood boiled, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, but after a moment, he still kowtowed heavily and said: "My son's loyalty and filial piety are truly witnessed by heaven and earth. Father, please don't listen to the slander..."

"Today's disaster was all caused by Li Situ. Once I capture him and bring him before the emperor, everything will be revealed!"

"I don't need you to remind me!"

Zhu Wen looked unhappy, but he didn't think Li Zhen could accomplish such a big thing.

But the entire palace was still in turmoil, and there were many small groups of rebel troops looting in the palaces, which made him very angry.

At this time, a general of the imperial guards walked through the crowd and hurried up the long steps.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Taichang Temple..."

"Li Situ led his men to take the Prince of Jiyin away two hours ago."
