In the Grand Xia Imperial Palace, golden palaces shone brightly under the blazing sun. The stone steps paved with white marble reached the heavens. The number of people in the palace was countless. The extremely powerful Xia Dynasty had reached the peak of what a dynasty could achieve. This was the highest point, but in the eyes of the hearts of the people, it was also a sign of the collapse of the palace.

Great Xia was too strong. This thousand years was Great Xia's thousand years. It shook the Divine Continent unparalleled. On the vast land of the Divine Continent, there were over a hundred dynasties. Only Great Xia stood tall for a thousand years, not falling for a thousand years, immortal for a thousand years, extremely prosperous.

It was an irreversible law that prosperity was bound to decline. The invincible Great Xia could not continue to be invincible. In the past hundred years, it had begun to show signs of decline. Ming Jun did not appear, and the virtuous officials withered. In addition, the Ancient Mongol Imperial Court in the north had become increasingly powerful. The Eternal Night Divine Religion, which had been silent for a thousand years, had reappeared in the world. The future of the Xia Dynasty was far from what it looked like today.

The Son of Heaven of Great Xia was not open-minded. He was not inferior to the few emperors who had expanded the territory of Great Xia in the past. Fortunately, the foundation laid down by the previous generations of Great Xia was deep enough. The current Son of Heaven was not so stunned that he was useless. Although he had made no great contributions, he had made no major mistakes.

The cavalry of the Ancient Mongol Imperial Court in the north had already crossed the boundary of the Northern Zhangyuan several times, treating Great Xia as if it had nothing to offer. The disputes between the Imperial Court and the Lord and Peace had become more and more intense, and Great Xia was getting older and more indecisive. Their attitude towards the Ancient Mongol Imperial Court had always been ambiguous, neither fighting nor reconciling.

However, compared to the Ancient Mongol Royal Court in the north, What troubled Great Xia the most was the revival of the Eternal Night Divine Religion. The Eternal Night Divine Religion had an unfathomable origin. It was a power feared by all the dynasties in the Central Plains. Back then, the ancestors of Great Xia had suppressed the Eternal Night Divine Religion to the point of annihilation. However, after a thousand years of silence and restoration, it was an inevitable calamity.

The strength of the Eternal Night Divine Religion was not only due to its terrifying faith that had lasted for thousands of years, but also because of its unfathomable strength. Back then, Great Xia was so powerful that the Divine Continent forbade martial arts and the world submitted to it. However, it still did not allow the Eternal Night Divine Religion to be annihilated and hid in the darkness for the time being, so that it could return to the world today.

Under the curtain of night, the Heavenly Oracle Palace was still as bright as day. San Gong was silent, and Zhu Qing was crawling. On the dragon chair of the Heavenly Oracle Palace, Great Xia Tian Zi's eyebrows changed several times, and his expression was unusually ugly.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. The northern soldiers' petitions are getting more and more intense. If the Imperial Court does not show any signs, they will endure it again and again, afraid that it will chill the hearts of those soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the country."

"No, once war breaks out, it will be out of control, causing the people to be displaced. Moreover, the Eternal Night Divine Sect has already appeared. If we seize this opportunity to attack, our dynasty will be enemies on both sides of the abdomen."

"Hmph, forbearance will only make the Ancient Mongol Imperial Court go even further. My son is a valiant warrior. How can he let others bully him just because of some Eternal Night Divine Sect?"

""

The debate in the hall was extremely intense. No one would give in to your words or mine. Only Sangong remained silent, silent, and speechless.

Since the founding of Great Xia, the three dukes had rarely discussed politics. It was not that they could not, but rather that they were unwilling. As long as there was no last resort, the three dukes would not speak. This was a consensus. Therefore, no matter how fierce the arguments between the various officials in the hall were, no one would ask the three dukes to make a decision.

Hesitation flashed through Da Xia Tian Zi's eyes on the dragon chair. It was not an easy decision to send out troops.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp silver light pierced through His Highness Zhu Qing and shot straight at Da Xia Tian Zi on the dragon chair. An arrow without warning dazzled everyone's eyes, and they didn't even have time to react.

The stunning arrow came silently and breathlessly. The hall of Heavenly Oracles and the officials of the Son of Heaven were all taken away by the arrow's sharpness.

However, it was this unstoppable arrow that was grabbed by a withered hand. Behind Da Xia Tian Zi, the old eunuch, who had always been unknown, walked to the front of the dragon chair at some unknown time and covered the sky with one hand, blocking all the wind and rain in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Assassin, capture the assassin!" At this moment, everyone in the hall finally reacted. Their expressions changed drastically as they shouted sternly.

The leader of the officials, San Gong, who had been quietly standing up, coldly looked in the direction of the arrow. What a huge burden. This was the first time in thousands of years that someone had assassinated the palace, and it was in front of them.

On the dragon chair, Great Xia Tian Han stood up angrily, his expression ashen as he viciously spat out two words, "Investigate!"

"Yes."

The Son of Heaven was enraged. The officials below were stern and their minds raced. The timing of this assassination was too delicate. It was really too inopportune.

In the next moment, orders came out one after another. The palace was forbidden and the doors were tightly shut. The entire palace was surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial guards. Five steps a post, ten steps a sentinel. Not to mention living people, even a fly would be difficult to fly out of the palace.

"What happened"

Inside the palace, Ning Chen looked out the window at a group of guards passing by. He was puzzled, but when he thought of his fate, he was no longer interested.

Not far away, several teenagers who were similar to Ning Chen were also in a low mood. They were all children from poor families, so they had no choice but to take this step.

"Sigh, what should we do?"

Ning Chen leaned his right hand on his chin and pondered quietly. He might as well let him die as a eunuch. Although he had come safely, the difference between a strong young man and a weak young eunuch was too great.

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Ning Chen sighed softly. He wanted to escape. He only glanced at the pairs of palace guards that passed by from time to time in the distance and immediately dismissed the idea of courting death. He did not want to be chopped into meat paste. It was said that there was still a time of late, five-horse ripping, skin cramping, burying alive, car cracking--oh, no, a headache.

"Once you enter the palace gate, it will be as deep as the sea. From now on, all passers-by will be covered by

Ning Chen sighed softly, attracting numerous disdainful gazes. He raised his head and smiled bashfully. He almost forgot that everyone was in a bad mood.

The clanging sound of the armor on the imperial army's body grew louder and louder, indicating that more and more imperial troops were being mobilized in the palace. The assassination of the Son of Heaven was a matter of great importance. An order from the Heavenly Oracle Palace rushed past, and the Third Duke and Zhu Qing were all waiting for an outcome.

Seeing the youths standing in line in front of him being castrated and carried away, Ning Chen was as anxious as a cat. However, with so many imperial guards outside and comparing his thin arms and legs, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Heavens, you better hack me to death!"

Finally, the last youth was carried away by the two eunuchs. Ning Chen looked out of the window and shouted in his heart.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the pitch-black night sky above the imperial palace lit up. A dazzling bolt of lightning swept across the nine heavens. Immediately after, rumbling thunder could be heard. The sudden shocking sound frightened everyone.

"I--"

Ning Chen was also shocked by the thunder, "Heavens, it's just a talk, don't take it seriously!"

Rumble!

Another wave of loud thunder rang out, and then heavy rain fell. The torches the Imperial Army used to illuminate were instantly extinguished by the heavy rain.

In this short moment, a black figure flashed into the room from a corner not far away. Sword light flashed past, and the old eunuch who was cleaning the saber in his hand was stunned and powerlessly fell to the ground.

Ning Chen was the only one left in the large cleanse room who had been bored and dumbfounded. The assassin in black had the intention to silence him, but he had been injured by a hidden expert in the Imperial Army when he escaped earlier. He could only kill the eunuch closest to him with a single sword strike. As for Ning Chen, if he wanted to shout out loudly, he would no longer be able to stop him immediately.

"I can get you out of here."

Ning Chen blurted out as his eyes widened. The sudden words caused the black-clothed assassin to be stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the assassin was dumbfounded, Ning Chen hurriedly continued to say, "There are imperial guards outside. You can't escape. Furthermore, the imperial guards will soon find this place. It's impossible to hide. Both sides are dead. You have no way out."

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Ning Chen almost choked himself to death. He hurriedly took a deep breath and said, "You have no choice but to trust me."

"Who are you?" The assassin said in a cold voice.

Woman? Ning Chen was stunned and subconsciously said, "I am a eunuch."

Bah, what a crow's mouth.

After saying that, Ning Chen unconsciously looked towards the woman's chest. As expected … a flat river, did he tie his chest? Isn't it peaceful now?

Shua!

The sword light flashed and was so close that Ning Chen hurriedly withdrew his gaze. He fiercely despised himself in his heart. Since when did he still have the heart to think about this?

"Calm down, calm down. But before that, you have to do me a small favor."

After temporarily stabilizing the woman, Ning Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he took a few steps forward and took off the clothes of the old eunuch who had died on the ground. "Hurry up and change, otherwise it would be too late."

As he spoke, Ning Chen smeared half of the blood flowing out of the old eunuch's neck onto his trousers, especially the vital parts between his legs, which were drenched in blood. It looked very scary.

After doing this, Ning Chen blew out more than half of the illumination in the room. At that time, the entire room darkened. Although he could still see things, it was barely enough.

Not far away, the woman had already changed into the old eunuch's clothes. She glanced at Ning Chen's movements and did not say anything. She could tell that this brat was quite clever. Perhaps he could really help her escape this calamity.

She was not afraid of death, but if she could live, no one was willing to die.

Ning Chen turned around and saw the woman's face. Her eyes were so bright that they refused to leave. The blooming years were very charming, very feminine …

However, at this time, it was very troublesome to look like this.

Ning Chen thought for a moment. He wiped the blood stains on his body with both hands and rubbed against the ground. Then, he walked in front of the woman and smiled brightly. Then, he ruthlessly wiped the woman's face with his bloodstained and dusty hands.

Of course, Ning Chen greeted him with a warning gaze that carried a hint of complacency, pride, and pride.

The woman did not say a word. She indifferently tolerated the change in her beautiful face. It was horrible to see …
