C671 His Hands and Feet Were Torn apart

The soldiers quickly poured oil on the red-painted wooden door.

Zhu Yuan was well prepared. He took out fifty beast skin bags filled with oil from the storage bag. With the oil, the soldiers poured the oil on top of the red-painted wooden door. There was even some leftover. Under Zhu Yuan's command, the soldiers tore off a piece of cloth from their bodies. After soaking it with oil, they tied it to the bow and arrow. After igniting it with a flint stone, they shot towards the Purple Gold Palace.

Even though it was winter, the weather in the capital was still dry. A large amount of oil was poured onto the palace gates and even the city walls. After the flame fell, it began to burn.

The soldiers on the city walls did not have time to resist before the flames began to spread towards them. The cultivators with higher cultivation levels tried to use Spiritual Force to block the spreading of the flames, but the soldiers with lower strength could only turn around and escape.

Although the oil was partially sticky due to the weather, it was currently in a half-viscous state. However, after the flame burned, the oil quickly melted. It flowed in all directions. In an instant, the front of the palace gates of Purple Gold Palace had turned into a huge sea of fire.

"All of you, stop!"

Following a loud shout, a man covered in golden light flew out from the Purple Gold Palace. Zhu Yuan looked over and found that the man was none other than Wai Yu.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuan hurriedly bowed to Wai Yu and asked respectfully. Wai Yu's expression was a little gloomy, which made Zhu Yuan nervous. At this moment, Wai Yu suddenly slapped Zhu Yuan's face with his palm. Zhu Yuan immediately covered his face and retreated.

Wai Yu pointed at the burning gate of Purple Gold Palace and said to Zhu Yuan with an unfriendly look, "This is the place where I will live in the future. Why did you set my house on fire?"

"Yes, I admit my mistake."

A malicious light flashed through Zhu Yuan's eyes, but he didn't dare to resist. Although Wai Yu had let him go once, that was the result of Zhu Yuan giving up all of his wealth in exchange for it. Besides that, Wai Yu had also placed a restriction on Zhu Yuan. This also meant that as long as Wai Yu was willing, he could take Zhu Yuan's life at any time.

Although Zhu Yuan was unwilling to accept this, he didn't dare to act out. He could only order his subordinate, "Quickly extinguish the fire. Don't let it reach His Highness' home."

"No need. Let him burn it. Someone will naturally come to put out the fire."

Wai Yu reached out his hand to stop Zhu Yuan and said in a flat tone. Zhu Yuan looked at Wai Yu with doubt and carefully asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"What do I mean? It was very simple. "

Wai Yu smiled and turned to Zhu Yuan. "You have been here before. You must know that on the road to the throne, it's not just flowers, it's blood. What is presented in front of you will soon belong to me. However, before that, I want to get rid of these people who are obstructing me."

Zhu Yuan didn't dare to speak anymore. Although Wai Yu didn't express it explicitly, he already knew what Wai Yu was thinking.

Soon, someone rushed out from the Purple Gold Palace.

"Imperial Brother, don't be afraid. I will come and save you now."

The gate of the Purple Gold Palace was opened from the inside. A young man in an apricot colored robe holding a long sword walked out from the Purple Gold Palace. Behind him were thousands of royal guards holding long spears.

This man was the fourth son of Emperor Wai, Wai Feng. He looked more like a businessman than a merchant. His face was full of determination. He walked towards Zhu Yuan with a long sword in his hand. The tip of the sword was pointed at Zhu Yuan as he shouted, "Who are you? How dare you kidnap the prince? Surrender now!" Behind Wai Feng, the royal guards were also staring at Zhu Yuan and the rebel army behind him like tigers eyeing their prey.

At this moment, Wai Yu was standing at the front of the rebel army. Zhu Yuan was standing behind Wai Yu. It looked like he was holding Wai Yu hostage and threatening them.

Zhu Yuan carefully looked at Wai Yu and did not dare to speak. The combat strength of the Royal Guards was very strong, so he had to be careful. He did not dare to move lightly. However, the person who was most anxious in his heart right now was Wai Feng. He also wanted to help out when the ghost cultivators attacked the capital. However, his current strength was only at the Third Stage. Even if he were to rush out and fight the ghost cultivators with his life on the line, it's just suicide.

However, just as he gathered the Royal Guards and walked out of the palace, he encountered the rebel army led by Zhu Yuan.

Wai Yu's lips moved slightly. He whispered something to Zhu Yuan via secret sound transmission. Zhu Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded.

After that, something that shocked Wai Feng happened. Zhu Yuan suddenly put on a frightened expression and said to Wai Feng, "Your Highness, I will return your Imperial Brother now, but you have to promise that you won't kill me."

"What?"

The sudden change made Wai Feng unable to react for a moment, but after a slight frown, he still said to Zhu Yuan, "Yes, as long as you are willing to banish the ghost cultivators with us. I guarantee with the dignity of the imperial family, after you release my imperial brother, I will definitely not make things difficult for you. After that, I will even reward you for your contributions. "

"Alright, I promise you."

Zhu Yuan hastily shouted and pushed Wai Yu towards Wai Feng. With the help of the fire, Wai Feng could see the joy on Zhu Yuan's face. However, he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that Zhu Yuan was afraid of what he said. He was convinced.2

Wai Yu was pushed away by Zhu Yuan, but his expression didn't change at all. However, that was his brother who grew up with him. Therefore, Wai Feng didn't have any doubts about it.

However, when Wai Yu was only half a step away from Wai Feng... Wai Yu suddenly stopped. A short dagger had appeared in his hand. Wai Yu's arm moved and a silver light flashed. When Wai Feng reacted, he felt a chill on his neck.

Wai Feng looked at Wai Yu in disbelief and opened his mouth. However, he didn't say anything. He felt some warm liquid flowing out of his neck. He touched it with his hand. The place where he touched it was sticky.

"Good brother, you can't do this. People often say that there is no business but there is no evil. You call yourself a born businessman. If you are too honest, you will suffer in the future. Why don't I teach you a lesson right now! After you go underground, you won't be at a disadvantage anymore."

Wai Yu revealed a seemingly gentle smile and said to Wai Feng indifferently. But at this time, Wai Feng's neck had already been slit open by Wai Yu using a short dagger. Fresh blood flowed out from within. It made him lose the ability to speak. He pointed a finger at Wai Yu and opened his mouth. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred.

"Good little brother, remember to be a good man in your next life."

Wai Yu whispered into Wai Feng's ear. At the same time, the dagger in his hand stabbed into Wai Feng's heart. It stirred inside Wai Feng's body before it was pulled out.
