Hong Sixiang, who was suspected to be a grandmaster, died!
One third of the roof of the Hanging Temple was cut off, and the cut-off part fell down in full view of everyone.

The hearts of the civil and military officials standing in the Hanging Temple sank completely at this moment.

They looked at the doomsday scene before them and felt completely hopeless.

"The Grand Master is dead?"

Many dignitaries have used various channels to guess who the great master in the Qing Palace is.
This is extremely important to them.

For them, if they accidentally offend the grandmaster, will they still be able to survive in the future?
It is precisely because of such concerns that they want to find out the identity of the hidden grandmaster?

As long as they investigate, as long as they are willing to spend some effort, they will come to a conclusion.

The person most likely to be the grandmaster is the ancestor of the eunuchs in the imperial palace, Hong Sixiang, who has been protecting Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager for many years.

It is said that this eunuch Hong has terrifying strength.

Not only could he hear the voices of people outside the wall, but even mosquitoes didn't dare to get close to him within ten feet.

Many ministers who had been with Hong Sixiang also had personal experience. As long as they stood next to Hong Sixiang, they felt that the air around them was cold.

Based on these reasons, many people firmly believe in it in their hearts.

In the Daqing Imperial Palace, the most mysterious grandmaster is Hong Sixiang.

Even the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess, and Prime Minister Lin Ruofu all thought so.

Not to mention other people...

But now, they witnessed with their own eyes that the great master Hong Sixiang was cut in half by a sword.

Not only that, the power of that sword was so great that it cut off half of the roof.

If an assassin wants to kill the king, who can stop him?

You should know that the war god of Daqing is not here now. Another great master, Ye Liuyun, is traveling around the world and is said to be in the Jiangnan area.

unstoppable!

"It's over. Daqing is in danger! Your Majesty is in danger!!"

Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are also those who are loyal to Daqing and Emperor Qing.

At this moment, they felt that the whole world in front of them had turned gray.

They believed that there was no hope for themselves and the entire future of Daqing.

More timid...

Even though they knew there was little hope, they still fled in a panic and ran down the ladder.

There were so many people running that they were stuck in traffic for a while.

The escalator of the Hanging Temple is reinforced, but after all, it is made of wood.

It doesn't matter if more than a dozen people stand on each section of wooden ladder at the same time, as it is still within the load-bearing range of the ladder.

But dozens or even hundreds of people have to stand at the same time.

The escalator has limited bearing capacity, how could it possibly withstand it?

The escalator was crumbling and the civil and military officials were in danger.

"What a disgrace! Come back here!"

"My dear colleagues, in this critical moment, we must not lose our composure."

Lin Ruofu and Fan Jian saw that these ministers were about to commit suicide, so they quickly spoke up to stop them.

If these idiots continue like this, the stairs will definitely collapse.

Once the stairs collapse, the entire load-bearing capacity of the Hanging Temple may be in trouble.

By then, what might fall down might not be the roof of the Hanging Temple, but the entire Hanging Temple.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are waiting..."

There was anxiety in the ministers' eyes.

"Line up in order. The ministers of each department go first, followed by the vice ministers and the chief ministers. We will stay at the end to support the other ministers."

Lin Ruofu spoke immediately.

"Where is your Majesty?"

"Trust in the guards. They will protect your majesty regardless of their own safety."

Lin Ruofu lied with his eyes open.

How could those ordinary guards possibly be a match for the Grand Master?

But even if they went up, it would not have any effect. The ministers finally gritted their teeth and began to rush down in the order ordered by Lin Ruofu.

"Prime Minister Lin, you are really courageous!"

Fan Jian stayed with Lin Ruofu.

"Your Majesty's safety is of course important, but the country and the people cannot be neglected either. If anything goes wrong, I will pay with my head."

Listen to what Lin Ruofu means.

Even if Emperor Qing and several princes met with accidents at the same time, they could not ignore the operation of the court.

Daqing will continue, and the laws of the court will remain the same.

"I admire you!"

Fan Jianchong bowed to Lin Ruofu.

He is now the Minister of Revenue, and is considered an important official in the court. Because of this, he has the opportunity to stay with Lin Ruofu.

"Minister Fan, you are too polite. We are relatives..."

At the critical moment, Lin Ruofu, after giving command with confidence, did not forget this relationship.

Fan Jian instantly became alert.

Could this old fox have thought of something?
Having said that, Fan Jian didn't say much.

Below the Hanging Temple, civil and military officials began to retreat in an orderly manner under the command of Lin Ruofu.

Although those officials were all extremely anxious.

But they are not stupid. If they really try to escape the way they did before, none of them will be able to escape.

In this case, those who stay behind may be in danger.

But there is still a chance of escaping...

Comparing the two, these smart people ultimately chose the latter.

No fool would dare to step forward at this time.

As the head of all officials, Lin Ruofu's officials were naturally very aware of his methods.

If they have other ideas and try to come forward at this time, then their prime minister will definitely not mind killing the chicken to scare the monkeys at this time.

All the officials retreated in a hurry, like dogs that had lost their homes.

Even they, who had not even seen the aftermath of the battle, were stunned at this moment.

Not to mention those people on the rooftop who watched helplessly as the roof of the hanging temple was cut off by nearly half.

It was as if a huge skylight had opened above their heads.

They watched as the legendary grandmaster Hong Sixiang was cut in half by a single sword strike.

This is not finished.

The man who had just killed Hong Sixiang did not leave.

Instead, he stood on the broken wall, looking down at them.

The man was wearing clothes from Dongyi City, holding a seemingly ordinary long sword in his hand. He wore a mask with a ghost face on his face, as if to cover up something.

"Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian!!!"

The people on the top floor were all trembling in their hearts.

Now that Daqing's God of War Fan Bin is not here, they have to rely on themselves to deal with the powerful enemy before them.

How could they possibly win?

However, even so, Crown Prince Li Chengqian still stumbled and came before Emperor Qing.

"Father, Father, please go first!!"

Even in such a desperate situation, Li Chengqian did not forget his duty as an actor.

He is a well-deserved best actor.

In comparison, the eldest prince is much more sincere.

He stood in front of Emperor Qing, saying nothing...

The second prince hid obediently aside, while everyone's attention was focused on the assassin in white.

He picked up the glass again and drank it all.

This is a man who never forgets to have a drink before he dies.

Fan Bin pretended to be Si Gu Jian and took in all the little movements of everyone.

It must be said that Emperor Qing's family is indeed a weirdo. Just now, he chopped off the roof with a sword and killed Hong Sixiang.

Those guards were all trembling.

They were just standing there with difficulty, but they were actually extremely scared.

Not to mention those little eunuchs and palace maids.

At this moment, their bodies were curled up into a ball, and their bodies were like sieves.

Let’s look at Emperor Qing’s family.

Although they were also shocked and frightened...

However, the princes were relatively calm.

Not to mention Emperor Qing.

At this moment, Emperor Qing looked at the eldest prince and the crown prince standing in front of him and curled the corners of his mouth.

Although he didn't like the eldest prince because of his bloodline. Although he felt that Crown Prince Li Chengqian was a little too much like him, mean and ungrateful.

But in the end, these two people did not abandon him when faced with danger.

But stand bravely in front of him.

This is enough!

"Are you going to assassinate me?"

Emperor Qing pushed the eldest prince and the crown prince aside and looked at Fan Bin calmly.

"Father, you must not do this!"

"Father!"

The Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince wanted to stop him, but Emperor Qing ignored them.

He just looked up and stared at Fan Bin.

"Not just you, everyone will die!"

Fan Bin did not deliberately imitate Si Gu Jian. He didn't even know Si Gu Jian, so naturally he had no way to imitate him.

He just said in a hoarse voice.

Does the other party really want to kill me?

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Although when they saw the person disguised as Fan Bin, they knew in their hearts that it would be difficult for them to escape?
But actually facing death.

That feeling is still different.

Their hearts were filled with extreme anxiety and fear...

Fortunately, those who are standing now are not ordinary people.

They knew in their hearts that even if they knelt down and begged for mercy, it would be of no use.

In this case, they might as well be brave.

What if?
I have to say that Emperor Qing has good genes.

Not only Fan Xian, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are also very smart.

When they saw that Hong Sixiang couldn't even block a single move and died tragically instantly.

They were also startled.

But the two soon realized that even if the assassin was really Si Gu Jian, there was no way he could take down a grandmaster so easily.

Hong Sixiang’s tragic death can only mean that this guy was not a true grandmaster.

Who is the other grandmaster hidden in the palace?
Let’s look at Emperor Qing’s reaction.

Although their father seemed to be in a bad mood, he was not afraid.

Why is this again?
"Come over here if you dare!"

"If you want to murder my father, you have to step over my dead body."

The performances of the Second Prince and Crown Prince Li Chengqian at this moment can both be called best actors.

If Fan Bin, who was standing on the broken wall, did not have a God's perspective, he might have thought that Emperor Qing was well-educated.

You know, they are facing a grandmaster.

And if they are not careful, they will lose their lives here.

However, these two noble men remained calm in the face of danger.

"Well, I will grant you your wish."

Fan Bin stopped talking nonsense and directly slashed out with sword energy.

He knew Emperor Qing's personality very well.

What if Fan Bin's target at this time was not Emperor Qing? But anyone else in the room, including the prince that Emperor Qing tried so hard to cultivate?

Emperor Qing might choose to stand idly by.

Not only will he not rescue Fan Bin, he may also take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Fan Bin.

Fan Bin did not give him this opportunity, he directly aimed at Emperor Qing.

When the Grand Master made his move, warriors below the ninth rank didn’t even have time to react.

The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the other people in the room felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the sword light.

They could feel that death was waving at them.

And they themselves were unable to do anything to stop it and could only watch.

The sword flashed, and everyone was about to die.

Emperor Qing, who had been hiding his strength, finally couldn't help it.

"I thought that as long as I didn't provoke you, you would behave yourself. Now it seems that I was wrong. You have already advanced to become Grandmasters and have long disregarded the rules and regulations of the mortal world. You are truly lawless!"

While speaking, Emperor Qing extended a finger.

He didn't make any unnecessary movements, he just stretched out that finger.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Emperor Qing did nothing. But in Fan Bin's eyes, the Emperor Qing in front of him had already changed.

The huge vortex of true energy was already as solid as a substance. Endless true energy gathered on the finger in Emperor Qing's hand.

The true energy on the fingers poured towards Fan Bin.

Cross half the lake with one finger!!!

Feeling the true energy condensed on his fingers, Fan Bin no longer dared to hesitate.

He dodged and stepped back.

But Emperor Qing obviously didn't want to let him go just like that. He took a step forward, and when Fan Bin was resisting the massive amount of true energy, he followed up with a punch.

The Fist of Kingly Way!!
If that finger was a huge threat to Fan Bin.

The damage caused to Fan Bin by Emperor Qing's Kingly Fist was only average.

Fan Bin's defensive ability is even better than that of Grandmaster Ku He.

But the power of the Kingly Fist is not to defeat Fan Bin with one punch.

Emperor Qing's real purpose was to force Fan Bin to the point where he could not move. This way, he would have no way to dodge the finger that was like a black hole.

Fan Bin felt as if his entire body was stuck in a quagmire.

Emperor Qing knew that he lacked experience and was not fast enough.

In this situation, if he wants to deal with other grandmasters, he must kill them with one blow.

Otherwise, once the other party becomes alert, they will keep their distance.

Even if Emperor Qing is stronger than other grandmasters, he can't do anything to them.

This is still referring to the other three masters.

If he was facing Fan Bin, Emperor Qing couldn't even touch the corner of Fan Bin's clothes...

So Emperor Qing didn’t want to reveal his strength just now.

When he saw Fan Bin, he realized that his strength could no longer be hidden.

He was just looking for an opportunity to trap the opponent in front of him, and then use a huge amount of true energy to burst him, or crush him...

By the time Fan Bin realized this, he seemed to have been pulled into Emperor Qing's Qi vortex.

However, at this time, the most shocked people were not Fan Bin, but Emperor Qing’s two sons.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince’s eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Their father is actually the most mysterious grandmaster in the palace?

They had never dreamed of this before.
