After killing all the killers, the two men finally felt a lot more relieved. They touched the top of the city gate, took out a crystal lamp and waved it outside until they saw another swaying crystal lamp appear in a dark shadow not far away.
"They are already here, let's go down and open the city gate!"
Zhen Youdao said to Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded, and hurriedly left the city wall with Zhen Youdao and went down to the inner city gate.
The city gate was very heavy, and Ye Li and Zhen Youdao quickly found the noose to open the door.
The two men shook the noose, and the city gate made a slight "creaking" sound and then opened wide.
Outside the city gate, all the members of the Skyfire Clan gathered here, with Skyfire Talisman Saint standing at the front.
Ye Li noticed that Li Rushan was not in the team behind. There was a stranger in the team who was wearing a robe, a hat and a scarf on his head.
This person is not Li Rushan. Ye Li feels that the figure is somewhat familiar, but he can't remember who it is for a moment.
This was not the time to ask questions, so everyone quickly entered the inner city and closed the city gates again.
"Hurry up, the situation here will be discovered soon. Let's start with the guards on the periphery and eliminate them one by one.
After all, if the fight really breaks out, these guards will also join in the fight, so it would be better to get rid of them in advance and save us a lot of trouble."
The Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint spoke.
He is the strongest person in the team, and no one has any objection to him taking command.
A group of fifty or so people began to disperse in an orderly manner. After Ye Li left in the afternoon, Jin Shanshan had already obtained the general route map of the guards in the palace.
While everyone was memorizing, they were also discussing the battle plan, and finally decided to split into three groups to eliminate the guards.
Fortunately, Ye Li followed the group of Skyfire Talisman Saint and the man with the mask and rushed directly towards the imperial palace.
The three groups of people moved quickly, and the first group of guards they encountered were quickly dealt with.
However, after all, they were numerous, and the defense of the core area of the inner city was much stronger than that of the periphery, so their actions were exposed before long.
Everyone stopped hiding their feelings and started fighting openly with swords and guns.
Moreover, after their insider in the palace provided information and confirmed that Li Rushan was located in the main hall, the three groups of people joined together and marched towards the main hall in a mighty manner.
… … …
In the main hall, Li Ruhai was discussing government affairs with some ministers when suddenly an urgent report came.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. A group of powerful strangers suddenly appeared in the inner city and started to rush towards the hall. It seems that their target is your Majesty!!!"
A guard knelt on the ground and spoke to Li Ruhai with a panicked look on his face.
Li Ruhai was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are they? Why are they in the inner city? Are all the guards dead?!"
"Your Majesty, the guards at the inner city gate were all eliminated silently. They should have entered through the inner city gate.
According to reports, among these people there is the national scholar Zhen Youdao, so we estimate that someone dismantled the defense of the city gate from the inside, allowing these people to sneak in quietly. "
The guard said with his head down.
Hearing his words, Li Ruhai's heart suddenly shook, and he shouted: "Zhen Youdao... He actually dared to stand against me blatantly.
I knew he had been doing small things behind my back, but due to his status, I hadn't decided to take action against him for a while. I didn't expect him to be so bold as to lead people to attack the palace directly.
Organize people to defend the palace right away. I want to see with my own eyes how that bastard Zhen Youdao dies."
The ministers in the palace were not all Li Ruhai’s confidants, many of them were just ordinary high-ranking officials.
Today was also an emergency situation. Li Ruhai summoned them to discuss important state affairs, but he did not expect to encounter such a situation suddenly.
This group of ministers were originally relatively neutral, neither leaning towards Li Rushan nor Li Ruhai, and they were all relatively honest people.
It didn't make much difference to them who was the emperor. They just served in the court with an attitude of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Hearing that a large number of masters were coming here under the leadership of Zhen Youdao, these officials could not help but be shocked. Many of them could barely be considered Zhen Youdao's students, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared on their faces.
In just half an incense stick of time, most of the defensive forces in the inner city had gathered outside the hall. Tiankui Fu Sheng also sat up straight, staring at the entrance of the hall with eyes as sharp as torches.
"Boom..."
A loud roar was heard, and the guards at the palace gate stood together with the newcomer.
Many court officials in the hall stood aside nervously at this moment. After all, not all of them were proficient in fighting, and many of them had very low cultivation levels.
On Ye Li's side, the three groups merged together and began to attack the hall in unison. They had received news that Li Ruhai had summoned a group of ministers and was discussing important state affairs.
The Skyfire Clan has about fifty people, all of whom are masters of both wind and fire. Their fighting method is very direct, using wind to assist the fire and burning the enemy madly.
Dozens of fire tornadoes connected to the city, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, they crushed towards the palace guards.
This was the first time that Ye Li saw the Skyfire Clan's fighting method. The talismans practiced by all of them were exactly the same, and they could also combine together to unleash even more powerful power.
With the joint efforts of dozens of experts, the scale of this wind and fire tornado has clearly exceeded the limits of ordinary talismans in the Nine Souls Continent.
Even the extremely heavy spiritual energy of wind and fire, with everyone's concerted efforts, was gathered into a huge ball, which supported the consumption of the offensive in front of them.
The talismans they used were basically the same, all of which had wind and fire attributes. They kept disappearing and flashing in the wind and fire tornadoes, making it impossible for the palace guards to defend themselves against them.
There was only a loud roar, and the wall of the main entrance of the hall was completely destroyed by the joint attack of the Skyfire Clan.
The guards were also forced into the hall, and the exact scene of the battle was exposed to everyone in the hall.
"It's someone from the Skyfire Clan!"
As soon as Tiankui Fu Sheng saw the wind and fire in the sky, he immediately recognized the person and said softly.
And his gaze was fixed on the Skyfire Talisman Saint, who had not taken any action.
