Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 388 - 398: Breaking Out of the Royal Capital

"But this Royal Capital is under heavily guarded, with strict vigilance. With your identity as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, you can come and go as you please. I, however, cannot leave!" Miss Qiao had no idea of Chu Feng’s current status.

If she knew that her brother-in-law had already been promoted to True Disciple, she probably wouldn’t think so.

"Sister-in-law, pack up the important items and follow me immediately. Anyone who dares to stop us will be beheaded!" Chu Feng’s killing aura was intense.

Mo Shang and Chu Danzi, looking at the overwhelmingly powerful Chu Feng, came forward to prostrate themselves in respect.

As servants of the Prince Manor, their fates are closely linked to the Sword King Mansion.

Of course, if they chose to betray, it would also be a decent way out. Not only could they save their lives, but they might even get a reward from Prince Jianyun, like a promotion.

However, Mo Shang and Chu Danzi, among others, did not choose to betray but instead chose the most difficult path.

To live and die with the Sword King Mansion, to advance or retreat together.

This also made Chu Feng highly appreciate them. He believed that in the near future, they would feel fortunate for their decision.

...

Soon, Chu Feng, along with his sister-in-law and others, broke out from the back door of the Sword King Mansion decisively.

A carriage was already waiting not far away, specifically prepared for his sister-in-law.

To avoid revealing all their strength too early, he only brought True Disciples Qiu Tai, Zang Jianfeng, Pu Fazheng, and Sima Zhen. With these four Sword Saints, it was more than enough.

The Poison Eye Dragon King and others were scattered around the outskirts of the Royal Capital for assistance.

"Stop them!" one Forbidden Army soldier from the Jianyun Dynasty yelled.

"Kill!"

Qiu Tai and the others were merciless and powerful.

They cleared the way ahead.

Chu Feng followed closely behind with his sister-in-law and the rest.

It is estimated that Prince Jianyun did not expect Chu Feng to bring so many powerful figures into the Royal Capital. The Sword King Mansion was inherently weak, and sending just a small team of the Forbidden Army to guard it seemed very secure already.

The hairy-faced military general whose arm had been severed by Chu Feng was being carried with one hand by Han Dong.

To completely overthrow the Jianyun Dynasty, it was necessary to create momentum.

This evil, hairy-faced military general was the perfect candidate to be made an example of.

"You can break out from the Western City Gate, where everything has been arranged!" The figure of Bloody Beard appeared, guiding Chu Feng towards the direction of escape.

Along the way, members of the Blood Sword Gang provided covert assistance.

Qiu Tai and the others silently praised Chu Feng’s capabilities. The rumour that the Sword King Mansion had fallen into such decline that they couldn’t even afford food was total nonsense.

It turns out Chu Feng was actually able to control the most powerful underground faction in the Royal Capital for his use. Even along the way, there were other unidentified masters helping them. The path was clear, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the Western City Gate.

"Stop them!"

The military general guarding the city gate had a square face with big ears and bellowed commandingly.

He really had no shortage of soldiers under his command.

After all, this was one of the city gates of the Royal Capital, which would typically be manned by at least a guard battalion.

The troops on duty numbered a thousand. In the event of an enemy attack or other emergencies, an entire guard battalion would be mobilized, usually amounting to five or six thousand men.

As powerful as Chu Feng and his group were, escaping through the blockade of thousands of troops with his sister-in-law and others would not be an easy task.

Just as everyone was preparing for a fierce battle, something happened that shocked everyone.

It turned out that the military general on duty did not point his sword at Chu Feng’s side.

But at another side.

There, several masked men in black appeared quite suddenly.

"What’s this?"

Chu Feng was very puzzled.

"Master need not be surprised. The Han Family still has some strength. Although it’s inconvenient for the Han Family to appear openly, it’s not difficult to provide secret assistance. Those masked men in black are from our Blood Sword Gang," freewebnoveℓ.com

"And the military general guarding the city gate is also one of the Han Family’s men."

Bloody Beard smiled and winked at Chu Feng, urging him to hurry and escape the Royal Capital with Miss Qiao and the others.

After all, neither the Han Family nor Bloody Beard could contend with an entire nation.

"We’re leaving the city!"

Chu Feng waved his hand and swiftly led his people, guarding the carriage carrying his sister-in-law, and escaped from the Royal Capital.

Only after they had crossed the moat outside the city gate did the military general realize what had happened.

"Those people are suspicious, chase them!"

A large force of soldiers immediately pursued Chu Feng and his group.

What does it mean to put on airs? This is the perfect example. Even if Prince Jianyun himself were here, he could only jump with urgency without being able to blame anyone.

...

After escaping the Royal Capital, Chu Feng led his men straight to Blood Sun City.

When Prince Jianyun learned that Chu Feng had rescued Miss Qiao, he threw a fit. He executed several soldiers who were guarding the Sword King Mansion.

And that was all.

In Blood Sun City, Chu Jianlan was leading his soldiers in a desperate defense. If the city fell, they would all die.

At this moment, they were besieged on all sides, with disaster looming by nightfall.

A cloud of gloom hung over Blood Sun City, a sight of immense sorrow.

Chu Jianlan stood atop the Reef Tower, looking into the distance. He couldn’t help but lament internally that it was a matter of time and fate. He had believed that his rebellion would be victorious and that he could overthrow the Jianyun Dynasty in a single blow.

But, unexpectedly, they encountered setbacks right from the start.

No sooner had they taken action than Minister Wu’s forces suffered a crushing defeat. He was captured, beheaded, and his head hung on the walls of Royal Capital for all to see. Prince Jianyun issued a proclamation calling on all the citizens, officials, and soldiers of the Jianyun Dynasty to take up arms and eliminate the rebels.

Chu Jianlan, having gained no fame for his cause and further burdened by Minister Wu’s downfall, had already lost the initiative.

The common people of the Jianyun Dynasty, after all, were only interested in a peaceful and prosperous era. With enough food to eat, clothes to wear, houses to live in, and the ability to enjoy life with their families, they were content.

The governance of the Jianyun Dynasty was not bad.

The days of the common people were bearable, so naturally, they were unwilling to join Chu Jianlan in his rebellion.

Instead, the calls to quell the rebellion and restore peace and prosperity to the Jianyun Dynasty were even louder.

"Once Prince Jianyun calls in the border army, Blood Sun City is bound to fall!"

"Alas, all these soldiers who fought life and death battles with me, they will all have to suffer too!"

Chu Jianlan swept his gaze over the soldiers defending the city ramparts, each of them bearing varying degrees of injury, their battle armor bloodied and in a dire state. The enemy forces continued their relentless attacks, the shouts and cries of battle resounding non-stop.

Arrows and cannon stones ceaselessly bombarded the city’s ramparts.

Several sections of the city wall had already collapsed. The soldiers stationed atop the walls, without the protection of arrow towers, faced even greater danger.

Lacking food and other essential military supplies in the city, let alone managing continuous enemy assaults. The damaged walls were difficult to repair in time. To fix the arrow towers on the walls, Chu Jianlan had no choice but to use locally sourced stones.

Many residential buildings had been dismantled, upsetting the city’s residents.

He was at his wit’s end, filled with despair.

"Great General, at the eastern city gate, a young man leading a few hundred men has reached the drawbridge. The enemies on that side were all slain by his troops."

"He claims to be Chu Feng, the Third Prince from Sword King Mansion, saying he has come to reinforce his brother!"

A colonel rushed over to report to Chu Jianlan.
