Chapter 230

Father and Son!

'Slap!'

Instantly, a deafening sound rang out. This single slap seemed to exhaust all of Emperor Shuncheng's strength. Nie Jinxuan was startled and wanted to step forward to check Yin Fengzhan's injuries, but she ultimately held back and didn't move!

After this slap, Emperor Shuncheng didn't give Yin Fengzhan a chance to catch his breath, raising his hand to strike him again.

With these two slaps, Yin Fengzhan's expression turned incredibly ugly. Before he could speak, Emperor Shuncheng roared as if he had gone mad:

"You beast! Who told you to come here?! Get out! Get out!"

With that savage scream, even Nie Jinxuan couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but whisper a plea:

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry! Fengzhan, he..."

Watching Yin Fengzhan being beaten, Nie Jinxuan felt terrible. But upon hearing her, Emperor Shuncheng turned his head. Seeing Noble Consort Ning exposed, he lunged toward her and shoved Nie Jinxuan aside.

"You get out too! Get out! All of you, get out!"

Continuing to roar, Emperor Shuncheng crawled onto the ground, picked up the motionless Noble Consort Ning, and while stroking her body, continued to scream:

"You are not allowed to touch her! Get out! Get out!"

……

Holding Noble Consort Ning like that, Emperor Shuncheng seemed truly insane! Watching him, Nie Jinxuan felt a pang of sorrow. Just then, Yin Fengzhan, who had been silent, suddenly shifted his gaze and looked coldly at the Emperor.

"Let go of Mother!"

Yin Fengzhan's voice was icy. Nie Jinxuan was stunned, and Emperor Shuncheng looked up, roaring with a twisted, savage expression:

"What did you say?!"

"Let go of Mother!"

"No! I won't! You are the ones who should get out! Get out! All of you, get out!"

In Emperor Shuncheng's eyes, Yin Fengzhan had become an enemy he hated to the bone! Seeing the Emperor's madness, Yin Fengzhan narrowed his eyes. Without a word, he stepped forward, pushed the Emperor away with one palm, and made a move to snatch Noble Consort Ning's body!

Seeing this, the already frantic Emperor lunged at him again as if possessed!

For a time, Emperor Shuncheng and Yin Fengzhan began to struggle. Nie Jinxuan, who had finally reacted, was startled and rushed forward to intervene.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Fengzhan, let go! Stop this! Fengzhan, let go quickly!"

Nie Jinxuan was frantic. On one hand, she feared Yin Fengzhan's stubborn temper would lead to disaster. On the other, she feared the Emperor couldn't handle the stimulation and would hurt himself while failing to best Yin Fengzhan. But Nie Jinxuan was only a woman; how could she be a match for the enraged Yin Fengzhan and the maddened Emperor? Within two moves, she was shoved aside in the chaos and fell to the ground!

Her hand scraped against a crystal shard, and she gasped in pain. Looking down, she saw a cut in the middle of her palm! But she had no time to worry about it now. She flicked the shard away and rushed forward again to pull the father and son apart!

But just then, before she could reach them, Yin Fengzhan pushed the Emperor again, took advantage of the moment to stretch out his long arm, and pulled Noble Consort Ning toward him!

Seeing Noble Consort Ning snatched away, the Emperor became even more frantic. Yin Fengzhan leaped to the side. Seeing that Noble Consort Ning had been taken and he was powerless to stop it, the Emperor roared like a beast, ran to the stone door, pressed two hidden buttons side-by-side, and shouted:

"Someone, come here!"

The Emperor's actions were puzzling. But shortly after, a sound came from outside, followed by another 'Boom'. The stone door opened, and a group of imperial experts rushed in!

……

It turned out that this stone chamber and the secret passage were equipped with the most sophisticated mechanisms. When entering from the outside, one had to disarm the traps step by step. That was why Yin Fengzhan had been injured in the leg when he broke in earlier without knowing the way.

Conversely, when one was inside the stone chamber and wanted to let someone from the outside in, one had to find the buttons to disarm the traps from within! Next to the trap-disarming buttons was another button to control communication between the chamber and the outside. The Emperor had just pressed both.

Seeing the dozen or so imperial guards suddenly appear in the chamber, Nie Jinxuan was startled. Gao Caiyong then came running out from behind the guards in a panic. Seeing the situation, his eyes widened in terror, and he rushed to the Emperor's side to soothe him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Take care of your health!"

Gao Caiyong looked distressed. But the Emperor stared unblinkingly at Yin Fengzhan in the distance, pushing the worried Gao Caiyong aside.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Pointing at Yin Fengzhan, the Emperor roared with a twisted expression. Hearing this, the guards turned to look. Seeing that the person the Emperor wanted them to kill was Yin Fengzhan, they were also shocked.

After all, in their eyes, Yin Fengzhan was still an imperial prince, the Emperor's son. If they really took action and hurt him, and the Emperor came to his senses later, wouldn't they be in huge trouble?! Thinking of this, the guards hesitated, unsure whether to act!

Seeing their hesitation, the Emperor became even more enraged. He snatched a saber from the nearest guard and decapitated the hesitant man!

"Kill him! Or I will kill you!"

Driven to the point of madness, the Emperor seemed to have found a demonic form of rationality. Seeing the corpse of their companion on the ground, the dozen guards were terrified and rushed toward Yin Fengzhan without a word!

Instantly, the small secret chamber was filled with the flash of blades. Yin Fengzhan set Noble Consort Ning aside, leaped up, and struck the first guard with his palm, sending him flying against the wall!

'Bang!' A muffled sound echoed, and the guard fell to the ground like a broken puppet. No one cared if he lived or died. Having sent him flying, Yin Fengzhan dodged the attack of the second guard, used a hand-blade to strike the man's wrist, took his saber, and killed him with a backhand strike!

In two moves, Yin Fengzhan had dealt with two guards with overwhelming strength. Seeing this, the remaining guards were panicked, but they rushed forward together!

In an instant, the stone chamber turned into a slaughterhouse. Yin Fengzhan's blade rose and fell, and before long, he had seized the initiative. Seeing this, the Emperor's expression grew even more sinister and frantic, and he returned to the stone door to order more guards inside!

Nie Jinxuan didn't know how many guards were outside, but she knew Yin Fengzhan was only one man! Seeing the second wave of guards rushing in, she found courage and strength from somewhere, stood up, and rushed in front of Yin Fengzhan, spreading her arms to face the guards and the Emperor.

"Stop!"

As if using all the strength she had in her life, Nie Jinxuan let out a massive roar. The sheer volume of her voice stunned the people who were already on the verge of bloodlust. Seeing it was Nie Jinxuan, the maddened Emperor widened his eyes and roared without thinking:

"Get out of my way! Or I will kill you too!"

"Then kill me along with him! I want to see, Your Majesty, if you kill her biological son in front of Noble Consort Ning, whether she will be happy, and whether she will thank you from the afterlife!"

Seeing things escalate to this point, Nie Jinxuan was also annoyed. Hearing this, the Emperor was indeed stunned, but then he roared:

"No! He is not my son, he is not! He is not Wan'er's son either, he is not!!"

"Not?! Your Majesty, are you sure?! If he isn't, then who is he?!"

"He is a demon! A demon!"

As he spoke, the Emperor prepared to order the guards again. Yin Fengzhan, standing behind Nie Jinxuan, let out a cold snort, pushed her aside, and prepared to charge!

Neither the Emperor nor Yin Fengzhan showed any sign of backing down. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan finally lost her temper and roared again:

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

Nie Jinxuan was shaking with anger as she shouted. She pushed Yin Fengzhan aside and stood before the guards and the Emperor, yelling:

"Your Majesty, please open your eyes and look! Look at who he really is! A demon?! If he is a demon, then what are you?! And you lot, are you idiots?! He is Prince Chen, do you even dare to touch Prince Chen?! Are you not afraid that when the Emperor comes to his senses later, he will have your entire clans executed?!"

Nie Jinxuan no longer cared about anything. The guards were indeed stunned. Taking advantage of this, Nie Jinxuan rushed to the Emperor, grabbed him, and dragged him to the corner in front of Noble Consort Ning.

"And Your Majesty, look closely! Look closely—is Noble Consort Ning really happy to see you like this?"

She shouted at the Emperor. Looking at Noble Consort Ning before him, the previously frantic Emperor quieted down. He reached out, pulled Noble Consort Ning into his arms, and couldn't help but let out a roar:

"Ah—"
