Late at night.

Chirp!

The loud cry of birds sounded in the sky above the border of Haikou in Great Xia.

A huge red-feathered cloud eagle, flapping its wings more than ten feet, quickly pierced the night sky and went straight to the Great Xia King City.

Xia Linyuan, with a gloomy face, stood quietly on the back of a broad bird.

The undisguised eagerness in his eyes explained his mood at this time.

Tonight, he learned the information about the person who issued the bounty from his junior brother Bai Lihuan.

contacted Pang Jue immediately, wanting him to bring someone over to deal with it.

As a result, he heard a piece of news that frightened him, the palace was attacked, and dozens of masters who practiced qi above the seventh level attacked the palace at night.

Among them, there are even several powerhouses who practice qi at the ninth level.

His first reaction was naturally to ask about Yang Wenjin's situation, and when he learned that she was not in danger, he was a little relieved.

didn't care about listening to Pang Jue's words, so he directly cut off the contact and quickly found his master Shen Xiao.

He firmly stated that he did not plan to participate in this year's Inner Disciple Competition, and that he had to return to Great Xia immediately.

Yang Wenjin was attacked twice in a row, which made him have no mind to participate in any more inner door competitions, so he was bent on returning to her as soon as possible to protect her safety.

However, this inner door competition is not something that he can not participate in if he says not to participate.

Shen Xiao naturally did not agree.

After inquiring about the situation, Shen Xiao understood why he was in such a hurry.

Thinking about it, even if Xia Linyuan was left, his mind would not be on the inner door Dabi, and he would think left and right.

He came up with a middle ground.

Give Xia Linyuan five days and let him return to Great Xia immediately to deal with these matters.

He even went to find the head of Taixuanmen in person and borrowed his mount Red Feather Cloud Eagle.

This red-feathered cloud eagle is incredible, not only is it the mount of their Taixuanmen master, but also a high-level demon beast with Jindan stage cultivation.

With the help of this Red Feather Cloud Eagle, it only took him more than two hours to return to the Great Xia Territory.

"Cloud carving senior, can you be a little faster?"

"Junior, sit down."

The cloud eagle spoke, and then flapped its giant wings more than ten feet away, and the speed was a few points faster than just now.

After a while, Xia Linyuan, who was standing on the back of the cloud carving, could already see the outline of the royal city in the distance through the moonlight.

Chirp!

Another soft cry was heard far away in the silence of the night.

"What's that?"

The night guards on the upper floor of the royal city raised their heads the moment they heard the sound.

At this look, the whole person was stunned on the spot, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully.

"Demon... Demon Beast..."

"The monster has attacked the city!"

Then there was a terrified roar from his mouth, and in an instant, the whole city tower was in chaos.

A huge gong was sounded one after another to warn of it.

The guards in the city also moved in a hurry, quickly converging towards the city gate from all directions.

"There is no need to panic, this king is Xia Linyuan, you can all retreat."

Xia Linyuan, who heard the movement, roared with true anger.

"The seniors have worked hard, and the juniors still have some things to deal with, you..."

"You can summon this seat with red feathers when you're done."

"Thank you, senior."

After thanking him, Xia Linyuan jumped and landed steadily on the city tower.

The red-feathered cloud eagle turned around and flapped its big wings a few times, but in an instant, it had disappeared into the night.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yin."

The night guard of the city came out of the crowd and bowed down.

"See His Royal Highness King Yin."

The guards on the side also bowed down.

"Get up, this king still has important business, you get out of the way first."

With that, he hurried through the crowd and ran down the tower.

As he approached the palace, a very strong smell of blood penetrated his nostrils.

He frowned unconsciously.

Turning the street corner in front of him, he was stunned when he saw the Yinwang Mansion that was still lit.

At this time, the entrance of the palace was like Senluo Purgatory, full of stumps and broken remains, and blood stained the entire street.

In such a scene, the first thing he thought of was the tragedy of this battle, and the anger in his heart became thicker and thicker.

"Damn the Lei family, you wait for this king."

The Lei family in his mouth is the person behind the reward issued in the Blood Shadow Building.

"Lord Wang?"

The secret guard in charge of guarding at the gate of the palace found him as soon as possible, and they were all stunned.

"Hard work, you did a good job this time, go to Pang Jue tomorrow to receive the reward."

Xia Linyuan dropped a sentence and had already entered the palace, barely stopping at all.

"What people!"

As soon as he arrived at Qingyuan, Qiu Yue, who was in charge of guarding, immediately summoned his long sword and looked at the approaching figure vigilantly.

"It's me."

"Lord Wang?"

Qiu Yue was stunned, and some couldn't react.

Shouldn't the prince be in Taixuanmen? How can it be in the house?

Just when she was puzzled, Xia Linyuan had already approached and saw his appearance clearly, and Qiu Yue let down her vigilance.

"The slave failed to protect the princess, please punish the prince."

"Get up, Pang Jue has already told this king, you have done a good job this time."

Where does Xia Linyuan have the heart to punish her at this time?

Besides, this time it was a night attack on the palace, and there was no way to avoid it, and it was already a good job to ensure the safety of Yang Wenjian.

What is the reason for punishment?

"Is the princess okay?"

"The slave has already asked the imperial doctor to come and see her, the princess is not injured, but she is a little out of strength, and she can be recuperated for a few days, but..."

"Just what?"

Xia Linyuan frowned.

"It's just that the death of the red heart and the green girl has made the princess a little sad and excessive, and I am afraid it will take a lot of time to recover."

"This king knows, you go and find Pang Jue."

Qiu Yue answered and walked out of Qingyuan quickly.

Walking into Qingyuan, Xia Zhu, who was guarding the door of the room, also walked over quickly.

"Slaves and maids see the prince."

"This king goes to see the princess, you go to the door to guard, Pang Jue will come in a while, let him go to the side hall and wait first."

"Yes!"

Xia Linyuan walked to the bedroom with the door closed, gently pushed the door open, and walked in with his footsteps lowered.

came to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at Yang Wenjian, who was still frowning in his sleep on the bed, he felt indescribable guilt in his heart.

Especially her pale face, which made his heart throb for a while.

Reaching out and gently smoothing her frowning brow.

He sat quietly for a while before he got up and left.

Above the side hall, the three people who were waiting quietly and solemnly all turned their heads when they heard the footsteps at the door.

As soon as I saw Xia Linyuan, I bowed down together.

"Get up."

Xia Linyuan waved his hand, and walked to the top seat and sat down with an expressionless face.

"Lord Wang, the old slave is incompetent, let the princess be in danger, please punish him."

"Please punish the prince."

The three of them bowed their heads and bowed, but none of them stood up.

"Write down the punishment in advance, Pang Jue, you will tell this king in detail about today's events first."

Although he had already heard Pang Jue's report, his mind was on Yang Wenjin at that time, and he did not hear some details later.

After seeing Yang Wenjin, his heart is down-to-earth.

Pang Jue raised his head and quickly said everything that happened today concisely.

"Don't you know about what the princess has done today?"

Regarding Yang Wenjian's performance today, his heart was also full of shock and surprise, but on the surface, he was still relatively calm.

In fact, when he knew that Yang Wenjin was the third lady of Dingjun Houfu, he had already guessed that she had a secret.

That's why when Yang Wenjin married into the palace, he would explain to his subordinates, and he should not disclose a little about the princess to the outside world.

As for why he didn't ask, he just felt that Yang Wenjin must have her reasons.

He also believes that when he can let himself know, Yang Wenjin will naturally say that there is no need to ask more to make it difficult for her.
