"How dare you, Zhao Li? "If you step down now, I can still consider being lenient with you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless as an uncle!" The Shangguan family on the dragon throne were a hundred meters away as they pointed at Prince Gong's nose.

It was just that the Shangguan family was used to being kind, so when they scolded, they didn't have much of an imposing manner.

"Royal Uncle, if you were willing to abdicate the throne and give up the throne, you would still be the lonely royal uncle. If Zhao Li pulled you down, things wouldn't be so simple."

Their gazes met in the air, neither willing to show weakness.

Within the great hall, a few officials and officials stood up one after another to denounce Prince Gong. Some of them had their heads lowered, not saying a word.

It would have been fine if he did not succeed, but if he did, wouldn't it be courting death to accuse him now?

There were pedantic people, but there were often more smart people.

Prince Gong didn't care about those accusing voices. He turned around and said to Li Dao, "Sir, sorry to trouble you!"

Li Dao and the old eunuch looked at each other with a solemn expression. This was the expert with the highest martial arts skills that he had ever met.

Even Old Demon Huang and the rest paled in comparison when compared to the old eunuch in front.

Li Dao's blood began to boil as his eyes glowed with electricity. He nodded and replied, "I will not let you down."

He turned around and said to Xiao Long and Nü, "After I fight with the old eunuch beside the emperor in a while, Zhenzi, Brother Jing, you two go kill the emperor. Long'er, protect Prince Gong well. "

The few of them nodded their heads to show that they understood.

Li Dao pointed his sword towards the old eunuch and said, "Old senior, come. Let this junior witness your profound martial arts."

The eunuch was expressionless, his expression calm.

He casually threw down the horsetail whisk in his hand and said, "Our family is not some senior. We are just a eunuch. Our main mission is to protect the Guan family's dragon body from harm. We cannot be addressed as senior."

The old eunuch's voice was masculine and grand. If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, he wouldn't have seemed like a eunuch. On the contrary, he looked just like a sage.

Li Dao had no interest in bickering with him. With a tap of his feet, a white silhouette flashed as the longsword pointed straight at the emperor on the dragon throne.

With a clang, a rigid needle pressed against the tip of the sword, emitting an ear-piercing sound as it grinded its teeth.

Li Dao wasn't surprised. If he didn't defeat this old eunuch, he wouldn't be able to kill the Emperor.

He sheathed his sword, flipped his wrist, and with his sword hanging upside down, he ruthlessly slashed at the old eunuch.

It was still that steel needle that the old eunuch had gripped between his fingers, blocking the longsword and preventing it from moving even an inch forward.

He carefully observed this old eunuch, his hair fluttering in the wind, the skin on his face puckered up in deep furrows, his loose robes fluttering in the wind, and his well-developed and pure true qi.

Li Dao narrowed his eyes. This old eunuch's cultivation base was at least 90% of the Houtian realm. Moreover, he was not at the ordinary Houtian ninth stage. Otherwise, he would not be able to block his long sword.

Putting the needles away, the eunuch suddenly moved, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Li Dao felt a chill run down his spine. Without any hesitation, he used his sword to slash backwards. The long sword carried a cyan colored Sword Qi as it collided with the blood-red steel needle.

The eunuch moved like a ghost, his speed so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Ding! Ding! Ding! The metal needles and long sword collided, and the crisp sound of metal striking metal could be heard.

Li Dao's face turned ugly as he spat out two words, "Sunflower Grimoire!"

With a flash, the old eunuch stopped and looked at Li Dao. "Our family's martial arts does not have a name yet, but I like the name of your Sunflower Grimoire."

With that, the old eunuch disappeared like a ghost once more.

Li Dao focused all his attention on sensing the old eunuch's trajectory. He swung his sword, and the image of a green lotus appeared.

Gong Wang who was at the side frowned as he cupped his hands towards Sun Zhenzi and Jing Tong, "I'll have to trouble the two of you!"

Jing Tong and Sun Zhenzi looked at each other and simultaneously rushed towards the dragon throne.

The personal guards of the Son of Heaven could not let them do as they pleased. They quickly formed a human wall in front of the Dragon Throne.

Within the throne room, besides a few stubborn old officials, the rest all ran out.

The emperor's safety, the rivers and mountains, how could these things be more important than his own little life?
