Dire straits!

Wang Chong was truly in dire straits!

Putting aside Third Son Xuan, the numerous soldiers of the Imperial Army had tightly surrounded the area . Even if Wang Chong could escape alive, he and the entire Wang Clan would be cast into the abyss, becoming traitors of the Great Tang!

“Rebellious subject, did you really think you could escape?”

Third Son Xuan coldly laughed as he slowly paced toward Wang Chong .

“Hand over the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass and I can consider keeping you and your Wang Clan alive . ”

Cough, cough!

Wang Chong’s face was pale, and blood trickled from his lips as a consequence of his internal injuries, but surprisingly, he had a jeering smile on his lips .

“You still don’t know? I’ve already given you the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass!”

Third Son Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he stomped forward and coldly barked, “What do you mean?!”

Wang Chong chuckled and opened his right hand . All that was left of the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass was a few root hairs . The stem and leaves of the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass had disappeared .

Third Son Xuan was underestimating him too much . He knew that Third Son Xuan wanted to deal with him, but he had still confidently entered the Imperial Palace . Did Third Son Xuan think that this was merely because he respected imperial authority? Or he was one of those blindly loyal subjects?

Although he had the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass, he needed Third Son Xuan to willingly take it . Given their current relationship, this was even more difficult than ascending to heaven in a single step .

But Third Son Xuan’s sudden summons had given Wang Chong a rare opportunity . When that old eunuch stepped into his estate, Wang Chong had a sudden idea, at that moment knowing how to proceed .

This was why Wang Chong had not cared at all about the old eunuch’s derision .

Third Son Xuan had prepared a cup of poisoned wine and many experts lying in ambush, hoping to use this chance to seize Wang Chong, but he had no idea that Wang Chong had readied the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass for him .

When Third Son Xuan was compelling Wang Chong to drink the wine, Wang Chong had already placed the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass in his palm, ready to use his Stellar Energy to crush it into a fine powder that could mix into the air of Taiji Palace .

When the two of them clashed, Wang Chong had converted half of the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass into fine granules that entered through Third Son Xuan’s nose .

Though this would be far less effective than refining it into a pill, this was the best solution he could think of at the moment .

Third Son Xuan realized what had happened, his body erupting with anger . For Wang Chong to actually scheme against him was absolute treason!

“You treacherous subject! We will ensure that you die without a grave today!”

Rumble!

The ground trembled and the air boomed . Third Son Xuan’s eyes chilled as he once more unleashed his immense Stellar Energy .

This high-level Stellar Energy transformed into countless golden dragons that hurtled at Wang Chong . At the same time, the Dragon Guards who had broken free of the Nightmare Beast’s control unleashed their various attacks at Wang Chong .

Wang Chong was once more plunged into extreme danger .

It still failed!

Wang Chong’s heart sank, and he felt like there was a dagger pressing up against his back .

He appeared calm and unperturbed on the surface, but Wang Chong was keenly aware that when he stepped into the palace, he had begun his journey on a road that was as thin as a wire .

On one side of this road was a steep cliff, and on the other side was an endless abyss!

But if he did nothing and allowed things in the court to continue, the consequences would be even worse!

Wang Chong knew that this would be his only chance to suppress Third Son Xuan and get back the real Sage Emperor .

But even after he had taken this risk, shattering the dragon pearl and releasing the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass, Third Son Xuan still seemed to have control .

Wang Chong’s eyes dimmed, and his fingers clenched together as the sun and moon of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art began to manifest behind him .

Even if the plan had failed, he could never give up so easily!

Buzz!

Just when Wang Chong was on the verge of being heavily injured by Third Son Xuan again, Third Son Xuan suddenly froze, and those vast, golden torrents of energy similarly came to a stop .

It was like time had stopped .

“What’s going on?”

Third Son Xuan’s eyes flashed with shock as his face paled .

He immediately attempted several more times to unleash his energy, but he was still incapable of moving . At this moment, he felt like he had lost control of his body .

“Impossible!

“Bastard! What did you do?”

Third Son Xuan was both shocked and enraged, and he immediately blamed Wang Chong .

This treacherous subject who had no regard for his sovereign had broken the dragon pearl and then mixed Rainbow Glass Divine Grass into the air so that he breathed it in, and there was no telling what other treasonous acts he had gotten up to!

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

The Dragon Guards and servitors sensed the change in Third Son Xuan’s condition and instantly converged around him, confused as to what to do .

Wang Chong, who had been preparing for a fight to the death, was even more shocked than Third Son Xuan .

He had not done anything besides break the dragon pearl and spread the Rainbow Glass Divine Grass .

However, none of this was important .

What was important was that a dazzling golden light had gathered behind the frozen Third Son Xuan, and Wang Chong could see another figure in the light .

It was a tall, majestic, and divine figure . Wang Chong couldn’t see his face, as it was rendered blurry and indistinct by the golden light, but the moment it appeared, Wang Chong sensed a familiar energy, one that he had not sensed for some time .

Wang Chong trembled in shock as he blurted out in agitation, “Your Majesty!”

Even though it was extremely sudden, Wang Chong had still instantly recognized it .

“Wonderful!”

Wang Chong found it hard to describe his excitement .

He finally understood that all of his efforts had paid off .

The one who had stopped Third Son Xuan’s attack was none other than the Sage Emperor!

“唉……”

“Haaaa…”

At this moment, a long sigh filled with many conflicting emotions echoed through the hall .

The furious Third Son Xuan felt his body go numb, and he went still in understanding .

“This, this, what is…”

No one was more confused than the servitors and Dragon Guards . They looked hesitantly between Third Son Xuan and that golden figure in the air .

The development was sudden, but no one in this hall was a weakling .

Many people could see that the golden figure in the air had emerged from Third Son Xuan’s body .

There was something strange going on in the background of this scene . More importantly, they could sense a familiar energy from this golden figure .

“His Majesty! It’s His Majesty!”

A cry of delight rang out in the hall . The heavily armored General Li had yelled out in extreme agitation .

He was the leader of the Dragon Guards, and in this assault against Wang Chong, he was faced with the greatest dilemma . Wang Chong was a pillar of the empire, and there was no reason for him to die here, but the Sage Emperor’s orders could not be defied . General Li found it difficult to choose .

Fortunately, the Nightmare Beast’s attack had given him an opportunity .

The Nightmare Beast had quickly taken control of General Li and caused him to fight with the other Dragon Guards . A significant portion of the Dragon Guards’ attacks had been intercepted by General Li .

Although the golden figure had appeared abruptly, General Li had still recognized it instantly .

Many things had changed in the palace, and not even General Li knew the truth . But there was no doubt that the Sage Emperor had experienced a major personality shift, making him seem like two different people .

General Li had been very confused, but when that golden figure appeared, General Li instantly understood that this was the real Sage Emperor whom he had sworn to follow to the death .

Everyone grew even more hesitant .

How could that figure be the Sage Emperor?

If he was the Sage Emperor, who was this other man?

And why would the Sage Emperor take this form?

But General Li had no reason to lie!

All the Dragon Guards knew that General Li was devoted to the Sage Emperor, and he would never make this sort of mistake .

“This lowly subject pays respects to the Sage Emperor . ”

With clattering armor, General Li got down on both knees and prostrated .

General Li prostrating caused the other Dragon Guards to hastily kneel . The servitors were still confused, but after seeing the Dragon Guards kneel, they soon decided to kneel as well .

Regardless of which one was real, the Sage Emperor was here, so there was nothing wrong with prostrating .

Whoosh!

In just a few moments, Wang Chong, Third Son Xuan, and that golden figure in the air were the only ones left standing .

All was quiet as the Dragon Guards and servitors prostrated, not daring to raise their heads .

Hear no evil!

See no evil!

For two Sage Emperors with different energies to appear in Taiji Palace had exceeded the bounds of their imagination .

Even the slowest, most politically illiterate person could understand that this matter probably involved some shocking secret of the empire .

This matter involved the supreme Sage Emperor, and no one wanted to willingly throw themselves in . If they made the wrong choice, they might end up in some conspiracy that could up with their heads separated from their necks .

They were all treading on thin ice and couldn’t help but be panicked and afraid .
