Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Immortal! There’s an Immortal in the North Prince Mansion!_i

As Liu Yuan gave the order, the people of Blood Moon Tower immediately flooded into North Prince Mansion.
Just as the members of Blood Moon Tower arrived at the Training Ground, countless arrows came flying from the sky.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly, “Tower Master! We’ve been tricked!”
Watching the rain of arrows from the sky, Liu Yuan wasn’t the slightest bit panicked. He just snorted coldly and said, “It’s nothing but a last-ditch struggle!”
Ninth Grade Martial Artists couldn’t be killed by mere arrow rain, not to mention that he himself was a Half-step Grandmaster who could already project his Inner Strength externally.
These arrows had no way of hitting him, and even if they did, they couldn’t cause him any harm.
In his eyes, such ambush and sneak attacks were nothing but petty moves.
Liu Yuan immediately said, “Close in on me right now!”
Hearing this, the Blood Moon Tower’s members quickly turned back to back, then swung the swords in their hands non-stop, fending off the arrows raining down from the sky.
Lu Chen was completely stunned by this scene.
Damn it, so this is the world where Martial Arts exist? The last time he came to North City to pay tribute, he was inside the carriage and did not witness his trusted aides defending against the arrow rain.
The scene today was extremely shocking to him.
Without using shields, but just the swords in their hands, they actually managed to fend off the skyful of arrows?
Although some were unable to completely block and were shot dead, most of the people from Blood Moon Tower survived.
The scene today also made Lu Chen realize how important the fragmentary hand grenades the system gave him were.
If it weren’t for the grenades, they would probably have no way to deal with the assassins of Blood Moon Tower with the few people they had in the Prince’s Mansion.
At this moment, Lu Chen also felt a sense of relief, thankful that the newbie gift pack from the system included modern lethal weapons like grenades.
As the Prince’s Mansion soldiers finished shooting their arrows, Liu Yuan looked at the distant rooftops with scorn and said, “Is this the extent of arrows? Do you really think this will kill us? Is North Prince being too naive?”
Lu Chen had no intention of wasting words with Liu Yuan. He directly told Li Feng and the others, “Don’t bother with them. Just throw the grenades, pull the safety pins and wait for three breaths!”
Hearing this, Li Feng and the others quickly took out the grenades from their bosoms.
At this moment, the soldiers holding the grenades couldn’t help but tremble, as they had witnessed the power of this weapon.
They were terrified that they might accidentally fail to throw the grenades.
If they didn’t manage to throw them, they would likely be the ones to die.
Seeing the soldiers so nervous, Lu Chen said, “Don’t worry, it won’t explode on you!”
No sooner had Lu Chen’s words fallen than Li Feng pulled the pin off the grenade in his hand, and after holding it for less than two seconds, he forcefully threw the grenade into the crowd of Blood Moon Tower.
Though Li Feng was a Seventh Grade Martial Artist, he was also very nervous when using lethal weapons like grenades.
Originally, Lu Chen had wanted them to detonate the grenades in midair, as no one knew if those Martial Artists could kick the grenades back. If that happened, they would be the ones in trouble.
Fortunately, when Li Feng’s grenade landed among the crowd, Liu Yuan and the others thought nothing of it.
They even assumed it was just a stone thrown by the North Prince Mansion and easily dodged Li Feng’s thrown grenade.
Liu Yuan mocked again, saying, “Ha-ha-ha, has North Prince Mansion become so poor that they have no arrows and can only throw stones?”
However, as soon as Liu Yuan’s words finished, a huge blast exploded in the midst of the crowd.
Boom…
With a puff of white smoke, those around were either dead or injured, and the scene was filled with wailing.
After seeing this, the people from Blood Moon Tower were scared stiff, unable to react for a long while.
It was not until the second grenade exploded among the crowd that the Martial Artists of Blood Moon Tower started to flee in panic, as if crazed.
“My God! Heavenly Thunder!”
“Run, the North Prince Mansion has someone who can summon Heavenly Thunder!”
“An Immortal! There’s an Immortal in the North Prince Mansion!”
Watching the Blood Moon Tower members scatter, Liu Yuan clenched his broadsword tightly and roared with all his might, “Stop right there! Whoever flees, 1 will kill!”
Before Liu Yuan could finish speaking, a Prince’s Mansion soldier threw a grenade toward Liu Yuan’s position.
Liu Yuan wasn’t a fool, he had realized that this thing was what caused the explosion just now. Although he didn’t know why it had such great destructive power, he was very clear that it was dangerous.
Liu Yuan quickly pushed against the ground with his legs, and his body retreated ten steps back.
Still, when the grenade exploded, a shrapnel grazed past his leg, blasting flesh and blood from his limb.
Liu Yuan was considered one of the luckier ones, as the Ninth Grade Martial Artist closest to him had collided directly with a hand grenade, instantly blown open with more than a dozen bloody holes.
Upon witnessing this scene, Liu Yuan’s body started trembling uncontrollably.
Without a doubt, he was scared.
He had never seen such a strange weapon before.
It looked just like a stone, yet when it exploded, it was able to kill a Ninth Grade Martial Artist instantly.
This completely overturned his understanding!
He had never heard of such a weapon!
How could such a weapon possibly exist in this world!
If that dynasty possessed such a murderous tool, they would have likely unified the world a long time ago!
At the same time.
In the back courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion.
When Wang Qingci and the people of Hundred Flowers Tower arrived at the back courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion, they too heard the thunderous explosions.
Upon hearing those sounds, Wang Qingci paused momentarily.
At that moment, Chen Yu said beside her, “Saintess, it looks like it’s going to rain soon, which should help cover our movements.”
Chen Yu thought the rumbling was thunder, but Wang Qingci clearly thought otherwise.
Although the night sky was indeed overcast with heavy clouds, the sound was clearly not coming from the heavens above, plus there was a significant echo.
Something must have happened in the front courtyard.
It seemed the North Prince had quite a few secrets.
At this moment, one of the Assassins from Misty Pavilion suddenly alerted, “Saintess, there are people!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from Hundred Flowers Tower became instantly alert.
They had come to the back door of the Prince’s Mansion mainly to block the North Prince’s escape route, so the presence of people at the back door meant that North Prince and his party were planning to flee.
Just as the people from Misty Pavilion thought they were about to see the underlings of North Prince Mansion making their escape, they saw a beautiful woman dressed in a green Cloud Attire with her hair done up in a Cloud Bun, slowly walking to the back courtyard door.
The people from Misty Pavilion immediately recognized the woman, who was none other than the Ninth Grade expert Chu Yuqin of North Prince Mansion.
Seeing Chu Yuqin appearing in the back courtyard, Chen Yu and the other Assassins from Misty Pavilion were dumbfounded.
A Ninth Grade expert like Chu Yuqin not protecting the North Prince at his side, what was she doing running to the back courtyard at a time like this?
What was going on?
Suddenly, a bad premonition surged in everyone’s hearts.
Chu Yuqin asked coldly, “It’s so late, where does Miss Wang plan to go?”
Wang Qingci replied with a beaming smile, “This servant came to North Prince Mansion, of course, to attend to the Prince.”
Chu Yuqin snorted coldly and said, “Does attending to Chen’er require so many people?”
At this point, Chen Yu stepped forward proactively. She quickly moved in front of Wang Qingci, “Saintess, you should go to the front courtyard to see what’s happening! I have a bad feeling, let me hold her off…”
Before Chen Yu could finish her sentence, she felt a chill on her back, followed by a piercing pain that swept through her entire body.
Chen Yu looked down slightly, hardly believing the sword blade embedded in her chest.
She turned her head only to find out that it was Wang Qingci who had attacked her!
“Saintess… you…”
Wang Qingci then pulled out her sword, and before Chen Yu could finish speaking, she fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing this, the Assassins from Misty Pavilion were dumbstruck.
In their wildest dreams, they never imagined their Saintess would turn on their own at a time like this.
At this moment, Wang Qingci spoke again to Chu Yuqin, “Madam Chu, I will have to trouble you to help this servant get rid of these people and not let them escape.”
Hearing Wang Qingci’s words, the Assassins of Misty Pavilion weren’t fools, and they quickly realized that Wang Qingci had betrayed Prince Lu Shuyun!
One of them shouted loudly, “Everyone, run! We must spread the news of the Saintess’s betrayal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Assassins of Misty Pavilion fled in several directions.
At that moment, Chu Yuqin merely cast a cold glance around.
Soon, there were over a dozen additional corpses at the back door of the Prince’s Mansion..
