By the time he arrived in front of Zhengyang Palace, he found the Imperial Guards and Ghost Guards gathered in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
The crowd immediately paid their respects to Xia Jiuyou.
"What happened?"
Xia Jiuyou asked coldly, with a killing intent rising within him.
At this moment, the palace doors were wide open.
A hundred Dead Soldiers' corpses were piled up in front of Zhengyang Palace.
Clearly, someone had broken in.
"Your Majesty, an hour ago, intruders breached the palace. They were Ling Chen, Liu Qingcang, and a cultivator suspected to be the Dark Night Lord. Among them are Kings of the Palace Mansion Realm, and we couldn't stop them!"
Commander Ye respectfully reported.
"Ling Chen?"
"The Dark Night Lord?"
"Liu Qingcang?"
Hearing these three terms, Xia Jiuyou trembled with anger.
Now, he finally understood.
The death of the State Preceptor was inseparably linked to Ling Chen.
The message from Ling Chen earlier was just a ruse to cast doubt!
