Chapter 934: Chapter 588: Chu Emperor Dies! Thirteenth Prince Dies! Lu Wanshi Dies!

On the way back to the city from outside, Lu Lin asked what these Flame Dragon Guards were doing outside.

Xiang Ruofeng laughed and said, they were there for a woman from a small sect.

The Thirteenth Prince, Xiang Ruojun, who had the best chance of inheriting the throne, once met a woman during his travels and fell in love at first sight. Now, as he is about to enter the Star Emperor Boundary, Xiang Ruojun, due to issues with his mindset, wants to bring that woman into his mansion as his queen.

No one in the Chu State actually said anything about this, but everyone’s opinion of Xiang Ruojun lowered because he allowed himself to be hindered by a woman, preventing his cultivation from progressing.

The key issue is that the woman is fiercely independent, and after two months of attempts, Xiang Ruojun hasn’t achieved any results.

Even today, the bodyguards assigned to watch over the woman were all knocked unconscious.

Even a chief eunuch at the Star Emperor Boundary silently fell for the trap.

As for Xiang Ruojun, who went to gather information on a whim, he fell into a drowsiness without any ability to resist.

When the Chu Emperor heard of this, he was extremely enraged, and thus during midnight, he dispatched General Mo Xingchen of the Flame Dragon Guards to track down the "culprit."

The Ministry of Justice wasn’t dispatched because the incident occurred outside the city.

It wasn’t under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and since the matter involved Prince Xiang Ruofeng, Xiang Chu had his calculations and naturally didn’t want the issue to escalate.

Upon hearing Xiang Ruofeng’s explanation, Lu Lin was taken aback.

Wasn’t this matter done by himself?

So, the reason Sun Xiaorui was cold towards Lu Lin wasn’t due to not loving him but because of Xiang Ruojun’s interference?

Although Lu Lin didn’t intend to kill Xiang Ruojun to win back Sun Xiaorui’s heart, it didn’t mean he could swallow his anger.

Earlier, when drinking, Xiang Ruofeng mentioned his dream was to become emperor.

Lu Lin had a thought, How about...

...

Lu Lin disguised himself as a subordinate and followed behind Xiang Qi’s family to the outside of the Chu State Imperial Palace.

However, the Imperial Palace didn’t allow bodyguards to enter, so Lu Lin and the other subordinate bodyguards could only wait outside the palace gates.

But, this was enough for Lu Lin.

Spiritual Strength instantly covered the entire Imperial Palace, finding the Chu Emperor, Xiang Chu, who was in the Golden Palace meeting with the twelve Flame Dragon Guard leaders.

These twelve and Xiang Chu were all Lu Lin’s targets.

From Xiang Ruofeng, Lu Lin learned that although there were quite a few members in the previous generation of the royal family, only two truly had the ability and hope to inherit the throne: Xiang Qi and Xiang Chu.

If the Chu Emperor were to die, the Chu family would definitely elect a new emperor quickly.

The choice would be between Xiang Qi and Xiang Ruojun.

Of course, they couldn’t choose Xiang Ruojun. After all, no one would choose a dead man to be emperor.

So, it would have to be Xiang Qi ascending to the throne.

Now, Xiang Qi, who was slowly walking towards the inner palace, probably never expected that even after giving up hope, such an opportunity to become the emperor of the Chu State would present itself.

Among Xiang Qi’s offspring, only three were considered outstanding: the big brother, the second brother, and Xiang Ruofeng.

Although Lu Lin would lend Xiang Ruofeng a hand while seeking revenge, he wouldn’t be a babysitter, directly placing Xiang Ruofeng onto the throne.

Whether he could achieve his dream afterward was ultimately up to Xiang Ruofeng himself to work for.

Lu Lin was only lending a hand in passing.

Throughout the Xi Chu Empire, the truly loyal and absolute core people to Xiang Chu were only the thirteen Flame Dragon Guard generals.

These thirteen followed Xiang Chu since his days as a prince, fighting in battles and earning great achievements. They were the most trusted by Xiang Chu.

As long as they were killed, there would be scarcely any obstacles for Xiang Qi to become emperor in the future.

After all, most of the courtiers, except people like Lu Wanshi, only did their jobs and rarely got involved in the struggle among princes.

Whoever became emperor didn’t have a significant impact on these courtiers.

So now, Lu Lin’s task was to eliminate Xiang Chu and the twelve Flame Dragon Guard leaders.

"Boom——"

The Spiritual Strength at the fourth-stage transformation was something ordinary people couldn’t withstand.

Even in the Holy Land, the number of cultivators at this level was few, let alone in a small power like the Xi Chu Empire.

The twelve Flame Dragon Guard generals had no resistance the moment Lu Lin’s Spiritual Strength attacked, their Soul Power shattered, and they silently collapsed to the ground.

Deaths.

Xiang Chu was just about to exclaim in shock when he felt a terrifying Soul Power pressing down on him.

"Who is it!"

Xiang Chu shouted inwardly.

The blue muscle on his forehead bulged.

A black, bowl-like treasure with golden edges suddenly appeared.

This was his treasure hidden at the bottom of the box.

A treasure passed down through generations of Xi Chu emperors, specifically used to protect Soul Power.

With this treasure, the "Xuanhun Bowl" and another item, the "Cast Gold Armor," during the thousands of years of the Xi Chu Empire, no emperor had ever died due to assassination.

Those assassins had to break through layer upon layer of checks and verifications, and even if they appeared before the Chu Emperor, they faced no fewer than a hundred elite bodyguards, along with seemingly unremarkable palace eunuchs waiting. Attempting to assassinate the Chu Emperor was exceedingly difficult.

Even if they broke through numerous barriers and could close in for an assassination, nobody was aware of the strength of the Cast Gold Armor and Xuanhun Bowl.
