The empress was fed up with these women who didn't know how to stop arguing. She shouted coldly, "All of you, shut up!"

Her voice was as sharp as a broken sword, and it immediately stunned both Noble Consort and Princess Chengping. Only then did Emperor Xuanwu recover from the ruckus did he have the bearing of a ruler of a country, and without talking about the traitor, he started to instruct her clearly, "Disobedience Marquis, you will be in charge of transferring the unconscious; Duke of Zhenguo, you go contact the Yuelin Army leader, and come forward to protect him; Chen Er …"

Before he finished giving out his orders, a group of men in black clothing appeared from all directions. They were powerful martial artists, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the balcony.

"Protect the emperor!"

The officer led by Disobedience Marquis and Duke of Zhenguo erected a human wall to protect the place, blocking the people of Emperor Xuanwu, Empress and the others behind him. Murong Ling hid behind the person and watched the assassin's movements, her heart gradually coming to a conclusion.

The people from the Immortal Alliance were lingering around like ghosts. Previously, Murong Ling and Li Cangmin had exterminated a large number of assassins and ten cultivators, but they did not seem to have caused any injuries, and this time, more than fifty assassins appeared, all of them were experts of the seventh level or higher. Even with generals guarding them, they were unable to defend against all four fists, and their defenses were slowly being broken through.

Murong Ben was a master at the peak of the Tenth Floor of the Postliminary Realm, with profound cultivation, sharp skills, and the most number of assassins, the Disobedience Marquis protected the Emperor Xuanwu the most, as well as parrying the blade and sword of the assassin. For some reason, his body suddenly stiffened, he was unable to dodge the enemy's attack.

"Protect the emperor!"

When Emperor Xuanwu thought that he had lost his life, Noble Consort suddenly pounced on him and anxiously shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Emperor Xuanwu's face was filled with gratitude and joy. He did not expect that she would ignore his life and save him, but he suddenly had the strength to hug her and take a few steps back. He did not realize that the assassin turned around and charged towards the Queen at the same time Noble Consort pounced on him.

As the previous Palace Lord of Burying Flowers Palace, the Empress's martial arts inner force was not weak, but she had been poisoned for many years, and her meridians were completely crippled. Even though she had already fully recovered, she was now just a mortal who did not know any martial arts.

"Queen Mother, be careful!"

The final person to save her was Li Cangmin who had been guarding by her side the entire time. Taking advantage of the chaos, he took out his Frost Sword and blocked with the tip of his sword, blocking the assassin's blade, and kicked him away.

As soon as he appeared, it was as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest. All the attacks came at him, and the chaotic and powerful internal energy even caused a small convection, causing the surrounding area to be flipped upside down!

"Min'Er! Men, come quickly, protect Prince Qin!

Emperor Xuanwu's heart almost jumped out as he grabbed onto Li Fuchen's hand in panic, "Chen Er, quickly, quickly go and save your big brother."

"Your Majesty, Chen Er only has three feet of kung fu, how can he compare to those random bandits?" Noble Consort immediately stopped her, and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you have the body of one thousand, you cannot be placed in a dangerous situation, let Chen Er protect you."

Li Fuchen also nodded his head anxiously, he even blocked the assassin's attack at the same time. In a situation where the various officers were unable to handle the situation, he could indeed play a role as a bodyguard.

When he saw that Li Cangmin was able to easily destroy the assassins who were charging towards the Queen, he thought of an idea. "Your Majesty, it's not good to stay here any longer, since the assassins are already blocked, you should leave for now."

"What my beloved concubine says is true." Emperor Xuanwu listened to Noble Consort's advice and looked towards the Empress, "Lan'er, quickly, leave with us."

Indeed, he did not stay for long. The Queen did not refuse, but looked at Li Cangmin with some concern, and was grabbed by his hand, consoling him softly, "Queen Mother is at ease, the Prince is already an Innate Ranker, these assassins cannot do anything to him."

The empress's eyes flashed with surprise, but she was completely relieved. She left the platform with the emperors, escorted by the military officials. The long staircase meandered down, and halfway down, someone stepped on her dress.

"Empress!"

"Queen Mother!"

Noble Consort's face still had a smile on it, but she suddenly felt a pain in her knees, and immediately knelt down. However, there was a slanted staircase in front of her, and she unavoidably tumbled down, unlike the Queen who rolled on her side, she fell on her head, flipped the sky and earth, and sprawled on her back.

Murong Ling disdained her even more. With a flick of her fingertips, the speed of the fall of the Noble Consort increased, to the point that even Li Fuchen, who had the help of Qing Gong, was unable to catch her. She watched as she quickly rolled down the stairs, her head knocked on the ground, blood flowing all over her body, and then she lost consciousness.

"This Palace stepped on his skirt?"

At this moment, the empress was supported by Murong Ling. Although her body had traces of being hit, it was because Murong Ling had rescued her in time. She was fine, it was just that there was some lingering fear in her heart.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes." Murong Ling never thought that the Noble Consort would use such a small trick and was caught unawares by her. She used a method on the Queen, causing her to receive retribution.

The Queen also guessed that Murong Ling had avenged her, and was just about to thank him, when she suddenly felt her body becoming stiff, her face becoming stern, as though she was facing a great enemy. She immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Murong Wan didn't bother replying. She hastily put her down and saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face and graceful bearing, looking like a gentle and refined martial artist. His eyes, however, were like the icy gaze of a crescent moon, bringing a chilling aura as he stared straight at Murong Li's group.

"Ye Zhentian!"

The empress cried out the name of the man on the wall. In the blink of an eye, the man reached her, her fingers forming claws as she tried to capture her. The first thing Murong Ling did was to activate the Ghost Vine seed, instantly growing vines and pulling people out, blocking in front of the Queen.

Ye Zhentian was forced to stop, he looked at his right hand that had started to turn green, and immediately frowned, his gloomy and cold eyes looked straight at Murong Ling, laughing coldly, "So it's the Princess Qin, it's better to see than to see, as expected, your skills are impressive, no wonder the group of trash under my command were unable to do anything to you."
