Chapter 948 - Struck First to Gain the Advantage (2/2)

“Originally, we wanted to wait for Yu’er to ascend the throne before killing you. However, I can only send you on the road to hell ahead of time now.”

After speaking, she took out a drum from her pocket and started beating on it to spur the maggot hidden in the bone marrow.

Wu Yuenian didn’t want to kill Zhao Xianlong but wanted to force him to submit. However, after knocking for a long time, Zhao Xianlong still looked calm and didn’t respond at all.

“This… what’s happening?” Wu Yuenian looked at the drum in her hand and wondered what had taken place.

In the past, she had tried this method hundreds of times Why was it useless today?

Zhao Xingyue said, “Don’t bother. My Big Brother Qin has taken out the maggot. It’s useless even if you break the drum.”

Wu Yuenian yelled furiously, “Impossible, absolutely impossible! There’s no cure for the maggot hidden in the bone marrow. How could it possibly be taken out?”

Zhao Xianlong took out a small glass bottle from his pocket. “The medical skills of my good son-in-law are amazing. Nothing is impossible.”

Seeing the maggot wriggling in the glass bottle, Wu Yuenian’s eyes flashed with despair. Then, she gnashed her teeth and looked at Qin Haodong, saying, “Qin Haodong, you’re the one who ruined my plan time and again. Just wait and see. My man will not spare you.”

Zhao Xianlong gloomily said, “You bitch, just wait for me to kill Zhangsun Chengdu and then I’ll send your family of three to hell to be reunited.”

Wu Yuenian cried, “That’s impossible. Zhangsun Chengdu is the most powerful person in Tortoise Kingdom, a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. None of you are his match. If it weren’t for my son’s throne, he would have killed you long ago.

“I advise you to release me as soon as possible. Otherwise, my man will not let you go.”

“Grand Completion Realm?” Zhao Xianlong sneered. “I forgot to tell you. Haodong just helped me to improve my cultivation to the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.”

“You… it’s you again… I’ll fight you to the death!”

After her plan was ruined by Qin Haodong one after another, Wu Yuenian completely lost her mind. She pounced crazily on Qin Haodong. However, she only took a few steps before she was kicked to the ground by Zhao Xianlong.

“Lock her up. After I capture Zhangsun Chengdu, I will deal with her as well.”

Zhao Xianlong waved his hand. Then, Si Baokun, with his men, immediately locked Wu Yuenian up.

Zhao Xingyue asked, “Father, what are you going to do?”

Zhao Xianlong looked at Qin Haodong and said, “Haodong, what do you think we should do next?”

Qin Haodong said, “Wu Yuenian has been operating in the palace for so long, so it’s inevitable that she has trusted followers. As time passes, it’s easy for the news to leak out.

“I think there’s no time to lose. It’s better to strike first to gain the advantage. We should kill Zhangsun Chengdu now.”

Zhao Xianlong said, “You’re right. We’re gonna do it now.”

After that, he said to Shangguan Qiong, who was standing next to him, “Close the palace gate. Don’t let anyone out of the palace. Immediately mobilize 10,000 soldiers of the Royal Guard to surround Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion.”

Over at Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion, Zhao Yu said to Zhangsun Chengdu, “Imperial Preceptor, can you think of a way to let me ascend the throne as soon as possible? At that time, I will definitely kill Zhao Xingyue and Qin Haodong to avenge my mother.”

Zhangsun Chengdu shook his head and said, “It is Zhao Xianlong’s stipulation that handing over the throne will be two years later.

“No hurry. Haste makes waste. You are the only Prince in the entire Tortoise Kingdom now. The throne will be yours sooner or later. No one can take it away.”

Zhao Yu said, “But I wish I could kill Qin Haodong right now and take all his women from him.

“Imperial Preceptor, you have many masters. Send people to kill him now.”

That was his actual goal. After meeting Qin Haodong today, he was immediately fascinated by Tu Jiaojiao, Yun Qianqian and all the other beautiful women.

Although he was a Prince and was surrounded by beautiful women, he didn’t have any super beautiful women like them yet.

When he talked about arranging an assassination, Zhangsun Chengdu immediately frowned. He had already sent out the Four Great Vajrapanis before. However, after a day’s wait, not only was there no news but he couldn’t even locate the Four Great Vajrapanis.

He was full of doubts. Where did the Four Great Vajrapanis go? The most important thing was that the man he wanted them to kill was still alive and well.

He would never believe that Qin Haodong could quietly kill these four people. Those were four masters at the stage of the Combination Realm. Even if Qin Haodong ate the Great Energy Explosion Pill, he could not do it.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Yu shouted again, “Imperial Preceptor, what are you hesitating for? Qin Haodong must die.”

Zhangsun Chengdu said, “Well, I’ll find a few more people to go and have a look right away.”

Anyway, Qin Haodong was also a troublesome person for him in his plan. He had to kill him first.

However, before he could go out to call for his men, the housekeeper rushed in and said, “Master, something bad has happened.”

Zhangsun Chengdu frowned. “What’s the big deal?”

The housekeeper said in a panic, “Master, we have a big problem. Our Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion has been completely surrounded by the Royal Guard.”

“What did you say? How is that possible? Are you mistaken?”

Zhangsun Chengdu grabbed the housekeeper’s collar.

The housekeeper said in a panic, “No, I’m right. I am sure. It’s the Royal Guard that surrounded Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion. The leaders are the chief steward Si Baokun and the Vice Commander Shangguan Qiong. Even His Majesty has come in person.”

Zhangsun Chengdu was shocked. Zhao Xianlong personally led a team to surround his mansion. What was going on? Had his plot been exposed? It was absolutely impossible.

Just then, a booming voice rang out in midair. “The culprit Zhangsun Chengdu! Get out and face your death!”

Zhangsun Chengdu strode out of the room and saw that the entire Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion had been surrounded. The walls were lined with the Royal Guard. All of them held God-killing Arrows. The entire mansion was totally blocked.
