Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

It was also because of this that when the late Emperor was rumored to have died suddenly yesterday.

His identity token as the Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards automatically shattered, and he lost this position.

However, it has only been a day.

He didn't believe that the Imperial Guards in the palace would forget him.

With his cultivation at the peak of the Half-Saint realm.

As long as he expressed his stance to the Third Prince, returning to the position of Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards was only a matter of time.

Chapter 14: Ah Fu's Plan, The First Prince's Anxiety

............

After all, he was at the peak of the Half-Saint realm.

Leaving aside the Saints, he was one of the strongest people in the world.

With his protection, unless a Saint took action, no one in the Imperial City would be able to harm the Third Prince Xuan Ming under his watch.

And when the time came, he would use his identity as the Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards to openly assist the Third Prince Xuan Ming, while secretly controlling the Third Prince's actions, managing the world according to the late Emperor's will.

In this way, while the late Emperor was in a dormant, feigned death state, the world would continue to operate as he controlled it. When the late Emperor advanced to the God-Demon realm and awakened in the future, this world would be perfectly returned to the late Emperor's hands.

During this period, whether it was the Third Prince or the other princes, or even the court officials or the entire world.

They could only be considered as pawns laid out by the late Emperor.

Especially the Third Prince, who from beginning to end could only be considered a tool.

Thinking of this, Ah Fu's chest rose and fell slightly as he slowly headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Flying was forbidden in the Imperial City in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Ah Fu didn't make a big show of it, but instead acted like an ordinary pedestrian. Without careful attention, it was impossible to notice anything unusual.

However, the Imperial City was the center of the Southern Continent, gathering eyes from all over the world.

Even if Ah Fu concealed himself, he was still noticed by some gazes.

......

The First Prince's Residence!

The First Prince Xuan Yi woke up one night and found that the atmosphere in the entire residence was somewhat depressed.

This made him frown slightly.

"What's going on?"

The First Prince gently rubbed his brow and asked the beautiful maidservant who was helping him get out of bed in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Commander Sun has not returned all night!"

"The Prince's personal guards in the residence have already begun to investigate the entire Prince's residence..."

The beautiful maidservant bowed slightly and reported in a low voice.

A trace of unease flashed in her eyes.

The First Prince's Residence was where the First Prince resided.

Although it couldn't compare to the extraordinary status of the Imperial Palace.

When it came to other places, the First Prince's Residence was undoubtedly the most stable.

No one would risk offending the entire Imperial Dynasty to endanger the First Prince's safety. However, today, the First Prince's Residence had its first ever curfew.

Coupled with the fact that the Half-Saint level Grand Commandant of the residence had not returned all night.

She could guess that something had happened in the First Prince's Residence.

"There is such a thing!"

The First Prince Xuan Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

"Alright, you may withdraw for now."

"Someone, have Lin Xi Dan come to see me."

The First Prince waved his hand, signaling the maidservant to withdraw, and then sent someone to summon the Vice Commandant of the personal guards in the residence.

At the same time, he dismissed the people around him, leaving him alone in the hall.

Soon, Lin Xi Dan, a burly man in armor, walked into the hall.

"What happened?"

Xuan Yi's gaze narrowed slightly as he frowned and asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Grand Commandant decided to personally go to the Imperial Palace last night to ensure everything was foolproof."

"Before leaving, he instructed us that if he did not return for a long time, it was likely that something unexpected had happened, and instructed us to be more vigilant, impose a curfew on the entire residence, and ensure your Highness's safety."

"You were already asleep last night, so the Grand Commandant did not allow us to inform you of this matter."

Lin Xi Dan looked frightened and said with a bow.

The Grand Commandant was a Half-Saint existence. Assassinating a Third Prince who was not even at the Innate level was really a very simple matter.

Even he believed that the Grand Commandant's actions would definitely be foolproof.

It was also because of this that they agreed not to inform the First Prince.

After all, in their opinion, it was better to wait for the First Prince to wake up and inform him of the good news of the assassination, rather than something that could be resolved in a few hours.

But no one expected that they would all miscalculate.

After anxiously waiting until dawn without receiving any news from their Grand Commandant, Lin Xi Dan knew that something had happened.

Immediately, according to the Grand Commandant's instructions, he imposed a curfew on the First Prince's Residence to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to sneak into the residence.

"Lift the curfew!" The First Prince's face was filled with suppressed anger.

"Your Highness, but..."

"Hurry up and do it." The First Prince's eyes turned cold.

"Yes." Lin Xi Dan immediately left the hall.

After he had completely withdrawn.

"Damn it!" The First Prince cursed inwardly, suddenly stood up, and paced back and forth in the hall.

In fact, the fact that his personal guard Grand Commandant personally assassinated the Third Prince Xuan Ming.

Was within his expectations.

It was just that his failure to return all night made the First Prince Xuan Yi feel caught off guard.

He knew his personal guard Grand Commandant's personality very well.

If something hadn't held him back, it would have been impossible for him to waste time outside.

And what could hold back a Half-Saint level Commander Sun?

Especially in the situation of entering the Imperial Palace to assassinate the Third Prince Xuan Ming?

The meaning contained in this made Xuan Yi's heart feel slightly cold.

"In the Imperial Palace, there was Father Emperor previously, and there were not many strong people inside. The only one who could contend with Commander Sun or surpass him was Father Emperor's Imperial Guard Grand Commandant Ah Fu."

"It's just that if Father Emperor has passed away, it's impossible for Ah Fu to still exist inside the Imperial Palace. Even if Third Brother reappointed the other party as his Imperial Guard Grand Commandant, it wouldn't be so fast."

"But if it's not Ah Fu, why hasn't Commander Sun returned all night?"

Xuan Yi frowned tightly, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.

Commander Sun, as a Half-Saint, was one of his greatest trump cards, and could be called his right-hand man.

If something went wrong because of this, it would be tantamount to losing an arm for him.

Just as Xuan Yi was thinking about the changes.

A slightly hurried figure trotted into the hall.

"Your Highness, this subordinate discovered the figure of the former Imperial Palace Grand Commandant, Black Tiger Ah Fu, on Chang'an Street."

"Seeing that his direction of travel is towards the Imperial Palace."

"After this subordinate discovered his trail, I sent a few brothers to follow behind him, and this subordinate immediately returned to report."

The figure who ran in knelt respectfully on the ground and said.

The Imperial City was extremely important.

Xuan Yi, who was determined to win the throne, had placed his own spies in the Imperial City to observe the movements of other princes and even some court officials.

This method had once brought great benefits to Xuan Yi.

"Ah Fu? Why would he appear on Chang'an Street?"

Xuan Yi's spirit shook slightly.

This was slightly different from what he thought.

"Take me to see him." Xuan Yi didn't hesitate too much and immediately ordered.

In his mind, his own Grand Commandant had not returned all night, and it must have been Ah Fu who had secretly taken action, but now that the other party had appeared on Chang'an Street, Xuan Yi was a little confused.

The Imperial City was extremely large and naturally divided into countless blocks.

Among them, Chang'an Street, Xianyang Street, etc., were the names of the Imperial City's main roads.

And Chang'an Street was the farthest from the Imperial Palace.
