Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 232 Ambush on the Immortal Sect, Deacon Shuiyue

After a private conversation with the two elders.

Qin Wu directly ordered the 200,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to leave Shenwu Island.

They headed directly towards the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Meanwhile, members of the Zhou clan and the Immortal Sect who went to Shenwu Island also encountered assassination attempts.

Both groups suffered significant losses and were forced to flee, no longer heading towards Shenwu Island.

Upon receiving the news, the Immortal Sect Master was furious.

He truly hadn't expected that Qin Wu would dare to send someone to assassinate the envoy they had dispatched.

However, they had no way to deal with Qin Wu.

Now that they are being targeted by various forces, they simply don't have time to cause trouble for Qin Wu.

In the end, we had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.

They now need to find a way to deal with that despicable Huangji Sword Sect.

To this end, they secretly dispatched a powerful expert at the Land Immortal Realm.

During this time, they have been searching for the location of the Imperial Sword Sect.

They have a few leads now and believe they will find it soon.

What they didn't know was that it was a huge trap set for them by the Imperial Sword Sect.

Sure enough, after nearly two months of searching, they finally found the headquarters of the Huangji Sword Sect based on the clues.

"Is this where the Imperial Sword Sect is located?"

The middle-aged man with blue hair, who was at the head of the group, looked at the palace complex in the distance and asked in a calm tone.

"Yes, Deacon Shuiyue."

A grandmaster gave a respectful reply.

The man known as the Water Moon Deacon was a powerful terrestrial immortal secretly dispatched by the Immortal Sect, and was also a first-level terrestrial immortal.

Second-level deacon of the Immortal Sect.

"Now that we've found it, let's get started! We mustn't be discovered by other forces; I can't afford to be exposed."

Shuiyue spoke softly.

He wouldn't have been sent this time if it weren't to ensure everything went perfectly.

After all, now is not the time for him to make a move.

If it's discovered, then there will be big trouble.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, the Grandmaster immediately led his men into the Imperial Sword Sect's territory.

A thousand Grandmasters and thousands of Grandmaster-level experts stormed into the Royal Sword Sect's territory.

But when they all entered, they discovered something was wrong: there wasn't a single person left in the entire sect.

It was as if they had all vanished overnight.

A bad feeling rose in the heart of the Grandmaster-level expert.

"Searching."

He gave the order directly.

After everyone dispersed again.

A sudden feeling of impending death rose within him, and he was immediately alarmed.

"Everyone evacuate."

He immediately roared.

But it's too late.

An explosion was heard.

Then, a series of explosions rang out.

Starting from the outermost edge, explosions continued to occur, and their power increased with each explosion.

"escape."

I felt waves of terrifying energy emanating from it.

He roared in terror and then fled outside.

But the explosions were getting faster and closer, and their power was increasing.

It was no longer possible for him to escape.

"Lord Shuiyue, save me!"

Finally, having no other choice, he could only yell.

Shuiyue had already noticed the situation when the explosion began and had flown over there.

However, it's clearly impossible to save everyone.

They can only head towards the central area.

Then the water domain unfolded, protecting everyone within 500 meters.

The 500-meter distance was firmly protected.

Those Grandmaster-level experts who reacted quickly also survived under the protection of the domain.

After the explosion is over.

Of those who came this time, fewer than a thousand remained; all the others perished here.

"How is this going?"

Shuiyue asked with a grim expression.

He never expected that his mission to destroy the Huangji Sword Sect would encounter such a situation, especially with him in charge, resulting in such heavy losses.

Of the thousands, only one in ten survived.

“Steward Shuiyue, when we came in, we found that the entire Huangji Sword Sect was completely deserted.”

"I sensed something was wrong and prepared to retreat immediately with my men, but it was too late. If it weren't for the steward's intervention, we would all have perished here."

"This is probably a trap left for us by the Imperial Sword Sect."

The grandmaster spoke, his face ashen.

He truly hadn't expected that the Imperial Sword Sect would be so treacherous, setting up such a huge trap for them.

If it weren't for the sect sending Deacon Shuiyue, a terrestrial immortal, they would probably all have perished here.

Thinking about it now still makes me a little scared. The power of that explosion was terrifying. It was something that an ordinary grandmaster couldn't withstand. At least, he couldn't have resisted it.

"How come the Imperial Sword Sect has these things? Aren't these things only possessed by the Divine Martial King and that mysterious Third Watch?"

Shuiyue questioned him with an unpleasant expression.

He never expected that the Imperial Sword Sect would also have these things.

They have investigated and found that these items originally came into the possession of the Divine Warrior King.

Later, I don't know how that force called Sangeng came to exist. Now, not only do these two forces exist, but even this mysterious Huangji Sword Sect has one.

This is not good news.

"We don't know either. This Huangji Sword Sect is very mysterious. We haven't been able to find out their origins yet, and they've never used anything like this before."

"They used sword techniques in their previous battles, and they are a very pure sword-cultivation force."

The Grandmaster also wanted to know why the Imperial Sword Sect possessed these things.

"Could it be that this Imperial Sword Sect is related to that Divine Martial King?"

Shuiyue speculates.

In fact, it wasn't just Shuiyue; everyone present had this guess.

According to their investigation, the previous three times were very likely the death squad force trained by the Eastern Qin Divine Martial King.

However, there is no evidence to prove it yet.

Now that another sect, the Imperial Sword Sect, has emerged, they can't help but suspect Qin Wu.

"I don't know. We investigated before and couldn't find any connection between the two."

“When the Huangji Sword Sect became famous, the Divine Martial King was still stationed at the border, fighting against the former Northern Barbarians. Moreover, we have also investigated that the Divine Martial King had never left the Northern Border before returning to the capital.”

"At that time, the sword master of the Huangji Sword Sect was challenging several grandmasters in Dongqin."

The Grandmaster Deacon recounted all the information they had gathered.

If the Imperial Sword Sect and the Divine Martial King were connected, it would be impossible for them to have no information at all.

Is it possible that they have some kind of secret connection?

"This time, they might be plotting against my Immortal Sect together."

Shuiyue inquired.

He had a feeling that the Imperial Sword Sect was definitely related to the Divine Martial King.

Otherwise, how could there be anything belonging to the Divine Martial King?

He simply did not believe that they had no contact.

"I will send people to investigate. If it is really related to the Divine Martial King, we will make him pay the price."

The Grandmaster Deacon said fiercely.

He now harbors a deep grudge against the Divine Martial King.

"Investigate as soon as possible, and continue searching for the Imperial Sword Sect. I refuse to believe that they are so well hidden that even my Immortal Sect cannot find them."

"Also, notify all forces and tell them to search together. As soon as they find out, they should be wiped out."

Shuiyue said angrily.

He was furious that his team had been outmaneuvered this time, and he couldn't swallow his anger.

"Yes."

The Grandmaster-Deacon received the order.

Then, led by Shuiyue, they left the ruins.

Not long after they left, a person emerged from the distance.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Immortal Sect to actually dare to secretly send out a terrestrial immortal. But it's only at the first level. Isn't that underestimating my Imperial Sword Sect?"

Indeed, the newcomer was Qin Jian, now the Sword King of the Imperial Sword Sect.

After saying that, Qin Jian disappeared from the spot, as if he had never been there at all.
