Chapter 917: Ling Yue’s Resolution!
At the same time that chaos arose at the auction, a large number of human puppets also emerged in the whole imperial city and launched indiscriminate attacks at their surroundings. It was a massacre!
The garrison was the first to respond, fighting the human puppets while sending requests for help to the four great clans. Soon after, the private armies of the four clans poured in before the garrison sealed off the city. The bustling capital turned into a huge battlefield, and the supposedly peaceful night turned into a bloody one!
Therefore, no one at all had the energy to care about what happened at the auction venue.
Needless to say that Ling Yue had been put in a terrible fix. He had expected to just sit and wait for good news from Bai Xiaofei on the human puppet matter with them having passed the most difficult ordeal at the competition. Now, however, it seemed that the matter wasn’t as simple as he had thought.
“Gather everyone within the imperial grounds in one place to reduce the pressure on the Imperial Guard. Bring three brigades from the Imperial Guard to aid the garrison and tell them to keep the matter from spreading out. From this moment on, until there’s an order from me, no one is allowed to leave the city or send out any news!”
Ling Yue gave Tian Hai a series of orders. After the latter withdrew, he turned to his brother.
“Ling Ming, how is the situation outside?”
Sitting down on his throne, Ling Yue seemed to have aged several years in just a second. Although Ling Ming’s heart ached to see this, he still had to report truthfully.
“Third Brother has already taken his private army to aid the garrison. At present, there has been no news from him yet. He must have engaged with the human puppets.”
“Fourth Brother has returned with the situation on the Holy Puppetsmith Mountain. There are no human puppets there, but because of today’s material auction, the majority of their puppetsmiths are currently in the city.”
“Sixth Brother said he was going to find Brother Bai, but he hasn’t come back yet.”
Ling Yue’s expression grew heavier with every event reported. Enduring the headache, he asked, “Xiaofei should be at the auction as well, right?”
At the same time, Ling Yue realized that something was wrong. Bai Xiaofei had the ability to monitor the whole city. Even if it wasn’t constantly used, he wouldn’t completely turn a blind eye to the city’s situation. Therefore, the situation at the auction was definitely not simple!
“How… Ohh! I’ll have people call Sixth Brother back!” Ling Ming exclaimed and headed out. He reckoned that Ling Zong’s life was in danger.
“I’m going with you!” Ling Yue soon decided to follow. He’d go crazy if he sat doing nothing any longer. Moreover, his teleportation ability was quite important at this moment. No matter what, they had to save Bai Xiaofei first. Since he was in the imperial city but hadn’t made a move, this implied that he was trapped.
Both Ling Yue and Ling Ming had reached a tacit consensus that as long as Bai Xiaofei was rescued, the entire matter would be resolved!
Ling Yue’s private army had become the emperor’s personal guards and doubled in size, the members being all the troops once commanded by the First Prince, while the previous emperor’s personal guards had been transferred to the Imperial Guard.
At this moment, the new personal guards quickly surrounded Ling Yue and Ling Ming to escort them. After a flash of light, they disappeared directly from the palace and reappeared in the city.
