Meanwhile, in the dead of night, a luxurious car drove straight into the Yin Country Palace from outside, but it was stopped at a checkpoint.

"We are guards under the Second Prince’s command, following his orders to return to the bedchamber. Why are you stopping us?" A guard from Yin Country spoke in the local language.

"It’s you, the Second Prince’s men, that we’re stopping!" A guard carrying a large sword sneered, "The Eldest Prince has ordered that Manluo Sha’s execution is tomorrow, to prevent any mishaps, we must keep a close watch on the Second Prince, ensuring he doesn’t have any chance to stir trouble in secret."

"Get off the car and have your identities checked!"

The four people in the car reluctantly got off, undergoing identity checks one by one.

"Oh, we have a beauty here?" One guard frivolously lifted the chin of one of the women, wearing a lewd smile.

"Smack—"

The next second, he received a hard slap across the face.

The guard was instantly furious, "You wretch dare hit me? Drag her away, punish her severely!"

As soon as these words fell, his men were about to step forward to drag Leng Baiyu away.

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, a murderous aura appearing.

At this moment, a subordinate of Tian Han spoke coldly, "You better be careful. This lady is an attendant beside Emperor Tian Han, and has a good relationship with him. If you dare touch her, suffer the consequences!"

"Pah!" The guard spat contemptuously, "The likes of Tian Han can’t even protect himself now, compared with our Eldest Prince, he is nothing but a pile of crap, so arrogant for..."

Before he could finish, Tian Han’s subordinate had already decapitated him with a single strike.

The other guards under the Eldest Prince were immediately enraged and drew their blades.

The man who had just swung the blade said coldly, "Although the Second Prince is now out of favor, he is not someone lowly guards like you can insult!"

"You are mere servants, and the Second Prince, irrespective of anything, is still a Prince! You better think carefully. If something really happens, will your Eldest Prince back you up to death?"

After these words, those guards halted, weighing the pros and cons, and eventually they merely confirmed Chen Xiao and others’ identities, cursing as they made way.

Only then did Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu drive straight in, entering Tian Han’s bedchamber.

Upon entering the bedchamber, the guard respectfully said to Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu, "Thankfully Mr. Chen and Miss Leng had already disguised themselves in advance, otherwise, our identities would have been exposed during the palace entry this time."

Chen Xiao shook his body, gradually returning to his original appearance, "If our identities had been exposed, then the battle would have started earlier, that’s all, it wouldn’t make a difference, just the commotion would be bigger."

He believed that in the face of absolute strength, any trick was merely a paper tiger.

Leng Baiyu asked casually, "Do you know what the Second Prince is trying to do?"

"Of course, we know." The guard smiled, "But our lives are given by the Second Prince, and even if sacrificing for him, we would be unflinching."

"Moreover, without any changes, we are just small guards for life. If we succeed, then it would be a meritorious achievement, soaring high!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded.

These guys are clearly not afraid of losing everything, ready to fight desperately.

After all, with Tian Han’s current situation, unless unexpected, he is already without hope for the Crown Prince’s position, and very soon may be faced with mortal danger. Those following him naturally won’t have a good end either. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Might as well take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Soon, Tian Han arrived, briefly explaining the deployment for tomorrow to the two of them.

"Currently, I don’t know where Manluo Sha is. They deliberately prevent me from inquiring, so we can only act when Manluo Sha appears at the altar tomorrow."

Regarding his deployment, Chen Xiao casually listened, as ultimately, victory or defeat depended on top-tier combat power, and Tian Han’s so-called deployment can only deal with ordinary people.

As for those like him and Leng Baiyu of this caliber, they can effortlessly weave through thousands of troops, taking just the enemy’s head, ordinary people have no way to stop them.

That night, Chen Xiao did not sleep but meditated to elevate his energy and spirit to the ultimate level, preparing for tomorrow’s battle.

Although he spoke dismissively of the opponent, tomorrow he would face two Martial Saints of the Human Realm simultaneously, which to him, still posed a slight pressure.

As night passed, the sky began to lighten; he slowly opened his eyes.

——

Within the Heavenly Prison, a soft sound signaled the unlocking of a door.

The prison gate was opened.

Manluo Sha opened her weary eyes, watching a group of people charge in.

They roughly dragged Manluo Sha up from the ground.

"Let go of me, I’ll walk by myself!" Manluo Sha struggled to break free from their restraints.

"Manluo Sha, you shameless wretch, didn’t expect you to have a day like this, did you?"

A young man in fine clothes entered, none other than Yin Country’s Eldest Prince Taylor.

He looked at Manluo Sha with a face full of smugness, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge!

After all, when Manluo Sha was chosen as the Holy Daughter, even the inconspicuous Prince Tian Han rose in favor, even threatening his position as Crown Prince, hence he deeply resented Manluo Sha.

Now, seeing Manluo Sha in distress, he couldn’t be happier inside.

"Taylor, you don’t need to humiliate me like this, your insults don’t affect me at all, just pointless chatter." Manluo Sha’s expression was indifferent.

"Still daring to be defiant!" Taylor raised his hand and delivered a slap.

The powerful slap knocked Manluo Sha to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

"You wretch! Filth!" With a face twisted with rage, Taylor kicked her hard several times, "Just like your mother, a shameless bitch! Strip her down, reward her to you all, after all she’s a wanton, you can have a good time today!"

"Eldest Prince, humiliating your sister like this, isn’t it excessive?"

The former Holy Daughter of the Holy Sect appeared once more.

Seeing the newcomer, Taylor could only restrain himself, grumbling, "In regard for the Holy Daughter, I’ll give her a bit of dignity today!"

With that, he sneered, "Bind her, take her out for execution, Father and the others are already waiting!"

Upon hearing this, the group of guards immediately dragged Manluo Sha out roughly...

——

Yin Country Palace, on the Great Altar.

The King of Yin Country appeared, surrounded by many, his face somber.

Following were the high officials of the Holy Sect.

Each wore a ghastly expression.

After all, Manluo Sha’s disgraceful act was absolutely unforgivable to them.

Their public punishment of Manluo Sha was firstly to preserve their own face, secondly, to provide an explanation to the Holy Sect Followers.

Soon, with traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, Manluo Sha appeared before everyone, forced onto the altar.
