When the second lightning bolt pierced the sky, almost everyone in the palace got up, and this extraordinary thunder and lightning made people feel a great sense of danger.

This is no ordinary thunderbolt.

It's someone who is going on a catastrophe.

What kind of person would choose to spend time in the palace?

The answer is about to come out, in the entire Xiyu Country, only one person will make such a choice, and that is the Emperor Wu Shengjie of the Xiyu Country.

Of course, although the place he chose to cross the robbery was in the palace, it was not the center of the palace, but in a secluded building in the mountain behind the palace.

However, they can guard quietly, but they can't help, because if they do, they will only attract more powerful thunder and lightning, in that case, they will not help the emperor, but harm the emperor.

All they can do is protect the Dharma for him and make sure that he is not disturbed by the outside world.

Since the place where the lightning struck was not the center of the palace, the impact was not too great, and it did not damage the main palaces in the palace, but only hit the building in the back mountain.

Although the palace is not the center of the lightning strike, the Ouchi guards and the Yulin army inside and outside the palace have already taken action one after another, and have begun strict protection work to maintain order, in case someone takes advantage of the chaos to loot and even launch a riot.

During the tense and orderly deployment of the imperial city, the thunder and lightning in the sky still hit the building one after another, the sound was amazing, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and it was stronger than the other, louder than the other, and by the time of the sixth loud bang, the roof of the building where Wu Shengjie was located had been broken through.

By the time of the tenth loud bang, the roofs were overturned, and by the twelfth sound, the entire building had been broken up, if it hadn't been for the heavy rain, maybe it would have burned, and the situation in the back mountain was very miserable, and the eight masters who were guarding the surroundings could only watch, but they couldn't do anything.

When the lightning passed and the thunder stopped, the eight masters immediately came to the building area that had become ruins as fast as possible, only to see that in the center of a ruin, a charred human figure, still sitting cross-legged, around him, there was a circular clearing, which seemed to be very clean, as if the broken wood and broken tiles that had been blown into pieces were blocked out by an invisible circular cover, providing a good protection for the person sitting in the center of the cover.

It's a pity that this invisible cover blocked the broken wood and broken tiles, but it couldn't block the attack of the super thunder and lightning, and the person sitting in the center was still struck by the lightning, burning the whole person into black charcoal.

Eight masters surrounded him, and he didn't need to get close to know that he no longer had a trace of life, and even his soul was gone.

The emperor of the West Rain Country, Wu Shengjie fell, and the eight of them silently knelt down in the rainstorm, saluted him, and then stood up, quickly disappeared into the dark rain curtain, and hid in several hidden corners of the palace.

As soon as they hid, an old eunuch and a large group of internal guards came outside, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wu Changhao led six people to come over, and after a while, the old eunuch seemed to react, and confirmed the fact that the emperor had died, so he announced loudly:

"The Emperor Died ——!"

The shrill voice pierced the night sky, pierced through the rain curtain, spread throughout the palace, and even floated outside the palace, shocking countless people.

When more and more people gathered, the back mountain had been completely blocked by the Praetorian Guards, and at this time, the heavy rain had stopped, and this torrential rain had washed away all the remaining snow in the palace, and in the cold air, an atmosphere of sadness was spreading rapidly, and everywhere was filled with gloomy clouds and mist.

The Chengming Hall where the second prince is located is also brightly lit, from the time the first lightning pierced the sky, he had already gotten up, and quickly gathered his cronies and subordinates to discuss the next move.

When the twelve thunderbolts passed, after a while, an old man who looked to be over seventy years old also secretly came to the Chengming Hall of the Second Prince, he looked like an old servant, but if someone was in the back mountain just now, it would be understood that he was not an ordinary servant, he was also one of the eight masters.

He was already a Heavenly Immortal-level cultivator.

When the second prince Wu Changkong saw him, he asked respectfully:

"Uncle Qi, what's the situation over there?"

The old man shook his head and replied:

"It's not appropriate to act tonight, the emperor has just left, the prince has been operating in the palace for many years, and now he is almost under his control, and in addition to another immortal-level master, there is also an earth-immortal-level person who is also on his side, they join forces, I can protect myself at most, but I have no time to take care of the safety of His Royal Highness, I should wait a little longer and choose a better time."

The second prince, Wu Changkong, said in a slightly anxious manner:

"However, if we wait any longer, maybe the crown prince will announce his accession to the throne, and then it will be even more difficult!"

The old man shook his head and said slowly:

"It won't be so fast, it will take three days at the earliest, during this time, the Second Highness should start an operation from outside the palace, and break through the inner fortress from the outside to the inside, so that there will be a glimmer of life, because the forces of the Second Highness in the palace are too weak, and it is difficult to win with the weak against the strong."

Wu Changkong thought for a while, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and said in a low voice:

"Then I'll go over and see my father off now."

The old man immediately said categorically:

"By all means, the second highness enters the palace at this moment, it is tantamount to throwing himself into the net, the prince seems to be polite and polite, but in fact, his heart is decisive and ruthless, if the second prince enters the palace at this moment, it is likely that he will not be able to come out, even if he does not kill the second highness for the time being, he will definitely put the second highness under house arrest in the palace, until he successfully ascends the throne, and after the overall situation is stable, the second highness will be assigned to the frontier, seal a small throne, and let the second highness guard the frontier."

Wu Changkong suddenly woke up to the fact that with the prince's means, once he entered the palace, he would never have a chance to turn over.

So, after Wu Changkong made detailed arrangements for his subordinates, he quietly left the palace at night, preparing to attack from outside the palace.

On the prince's side, when the situation in the palace was temporarily stable and all the arrangements had been arranged, he issued several orders overnight and began to activate the forces outside his palace, preparing to quickly control Yong'an City, and speed up the deployment of the imperial city to prevent accidents.

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Wu Changkong transferred the army loyal to him outside the city, and coincidentally, the army loyal to the prince also came outside the city.

The positions were different, and the two sides fought before they had even entered the city.

The crown prince's succession to the throne is justified, and there are naturally a lot of troops under his control, and many generals are loyal to the Xiyu Empire, so they do not hesitate to stand on the prince's side; However, Wu Changkong has been operating outside the palace for many years, and he has also rebelled against many troops who are loyal to him, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Because it was transferred in a hurry, both sides could only mobilize the troops near Yong'an City, so the number was not too much, the prince issued an order, and the first batch of troops transferred back had 150,000, and the second prince Wu Changkong had been in business for many years, had already prepared, and was personally commanded, so the army transferred to it was 200,000, which was advantageous in terms of numbers, and also had an advantage in combat effectiveness.

When there was a war outside the city, it was inevitable that the city would be involved, and the prince immediately sent out the Praetorian Guards in the city to support his army.

However, the Praetorian Guards were not all the prince's people, and some of them were also loyal to His Royal Highness, so the Praetorian Guard was also divided into two factions, one faction went to support the prince's army, and the other faction went to support the second prince's army.

The Praetorian Guard had a total of about 200,000 people, and during the emergency, only 50,000 were left in the city, and the remaining 150,000 were sent outside the city.

Ninety thousand of the 150,000 people are loyal to the crown prince, and only 60,000 are loyal to the second highness Wu Changkong, so that the comparison of the number of people outside the city becomes 240,000 for the crown prince and 260,000 for the second prince, and the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard is higher than that of the army outside, so that the strength of the two sides is actually basically equal.

At this time, Wu Changkong did not hesitate to let the Burning Sun Sect participate.

At this time, he had already torn his face and officially started the fight, Wu Changkong had no scruples, he just wanted to race against time, the longer the time passed, the more unfavorable the situation would be for him, because there were not many reinforcements behind him, but there were still many people who were loyal to the country and the prince, and the more the situation went on, the more favorable it would be for him.

The addition of the Liesun Sect quickly changed the situation of the battle outside the city, and in just two hours, the battle outside the city of Wu Changkong was victorious, plus the surrenderers, he still had a total of 120,000 people left, so he took advantage of the situation to break through the city and attack the inner city of the palace.

The 50,000 Praetorian Guards defending the city could not hold it at all, so they surrendered after a simple resistance, and after eliminating those who died in battle, Wu Changkong's army increased to 150,000.

At this time, there were about 30,000 Yulin troops in the inner city of the palace, and there were only more than 40,000 people in the Ouchi guards, less than 50,000 people, although they all had higher combat effectiveness, but it was almost impossible to defend the inner city, because they also had to devote their energy to protect the safety of the prince and some officials in the inner city.

The crown prince immediately made a decision, and even took the remains of the civil and military officials and the emperor, under the protection of the Yulin army and the Ouchi guards, withdrew from the west gate and abandoned the city.

Of course, Wu Changkong would not stop there, and immediately led the army to pursue it, Wu Changhao left part of the Yulin army to block, and then rode quickly, and finally met his own reinforcements thirty miles outside the city, and then successfully withdrew to Yulan City.

When he stepped into Yulan City, Wu Changkong's army was no longer able to attack the city, because Yulan City was loyal to the prince, and with the addition of reinforcements, the prince's power there had surpassed Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong had no choice but to retreat to Yong'an City, and announced his ascension to the throne that night and became emperor.

Wu Changhao was not far behind, and announced his ascension to the throne in Magnolia City the next day.

At this point, there are two emperors in the West Rain Kingdom, and the situation seems a little confusing for a while, who can become the real Emperor of the West Rain Country?
