Chapter 1781 Battle Outside the Headquarters

"We were attacked by the Empire's soldiers. I nearly died. My wife was poisoned and nearly killed as well. She..."

Long Huan continued broadcasting his side of the story while Whisker and Shan Wangjiu stood outside, ready for the imminent collapse of the barrier.

"We might actually end up dying now," Shan Wangjiu said as he looked up and counted the number of people. "Damn, when did it become 17? Weren't there just 12 not even a minute ago."

Whisker watched another person join in and start attacking the barrier. The barrier flickered on and off with many of the attacks slipping in through the cracks. Whisker had to use the three puppets with him to protect himself from the attacks that came past the barrier.

"King Alex's subordinate was killed by my father," Long Huan's voice rang through the sky. "And her only crime was that she dared to stop my father from killing me again."

"Damn!" Shan Wangjiu said. "Did that really happen? Did one of Master's subordinates die?"

"Yes," Whisker answered. "She died protecting brother."

"That sucks," Shan Wangjiu said. "She must have been an incredible woman for Master to—"

The barrier shattered entirely as specks of broken energy that formed the barrier showered upon Shan Wangjiu and Whisker.

The two of them looked to the sky with a look of both horror and acceptance as they saw the nearly 20 soldiers slowly descend down toward them.

Shan Wangjiu immediately took a record of them all and was sad to see that the weakest two of the group were the only ones he could possibly take.

And the possibility that he would get to fight only these two cultivators in a fair round of combat was incredibly slim. It was pretty much impossible.

"Well, time to pay back Master," Shan Wangjiu said and his sword glowed bright as he filled his giant sword with Sword Qi.

Whisker got into one of the three puppets which he brought back to protect the entrance to the second prince. The remaining two he immediately sent to fight.

The puppets jumped into the sky and punched toward two of the cultivators.

One of the cultivators managed to dodge out in time. The puppet quickly turned around to attack, but the momentum it could create while descending was nowhere near strong enough to make use of its Immortal grade.

Due to the lack of place to push itself off of, the puppet was near enough useless in front of all these high-ranking soldiers.

Seeing the situation, Shan Wangjiu thought he had some hope. However, that hope was lost the moment some of the cultivators began ignoring the puppets entirely and leaving their comrades to deal with them.

Shan Wangjiu prepared to fight, but he knew he would only die.

"Leave!" Whisker shouted at him. "Brother said to leave everything and run away if we are losing. Go."

Shan Wangjiu turned around toward Whisker while in a sort of dilemma. But survival quickly won over.

"I'm sorry," he shouted and ran away from the place, leaving Whisker alone behind with the puppets to deal with them.

Whisker let the two puppets fight them out and stop them from entering the door while he and the final puppet rushed into the room with Long Huan.

Long Huan turned to look at Whisker. "Is it time to go?" he asked.

Whisker nodded. "We must leave," he said.

Three soldiers managed to sneak through the door and arrived inside. They saw the prince and retrained their weapons a little while still showing hostility.

"Your Highness," the two said softly.

Long Huan's eyes showed anger and annoyance. He was so close to finishing it all. He just had the oath to speak to prove to everyone that everything he had said until now was true.

And yet, it was too late.

He pulled out the Ebony sword. "Let's—"

His words were drowned by a large explosive sound as dust filled the room they were in.

Sounds of more battle filled outside, and before the dust had even settled in the room, someone had entered.

"I'm glad I made it in time," an older voice spoke as the man turned toward Long Huan. "How have you been doing, Your Highness?"

Long Huan's face glowed up in surprise.

"Senior Yan!"
