Chapter 1347: Chapter 1349: The One That Got Away (Third Update)_1 Chapter 1347: Chapter 1349: The One That Got Away (Third Update)_1 At Lin Zhigao’s command, numerous soldiers immediately drew their swords.
These soldiers were Hu Zheng’s personal guards and the Emperor’s Imperial Forest Army.
Even the ordinary soldiers were at the War God Level as their captains were Star Realm Experts, all ruthless killers.
It seems that the Parallel King Mansion was doomed to face a catastrophe today!
Lin Xia felt a chill running down his spine.
He had never imagined the situation would suddenly turn to this.
The other party obviously didn’t plan to give him any chance to fight back.
…
The personal guards and the Imperial Forest Army were both in ready action.
The Emperor, the chancellor, the Grand Marshal, and the vice dean of the academy were all present.
With all these heavyweights present, he had no chance of reversing the situation.
Lin Xia shuddered, turning to Lin Zhigao with a trembling voice: “Your Majesty…
did you plan all of this?”
Lin Zhigao’s face was frosty: “There was no plan.
The wicked will perish by their own schemes, Lin Xia, you deserve this.”
“But…but all I wanted was to let my son pass his graduation exam.”
“He who should not pass, will not pass, Lin Xia.
Stop trying to make excuses!”
Lin Xia turned to Kong Fang: “Chancellor, was your agreement intentional?”
Kong Fang spoke righteously: “Your mansion has risen to power over the years.
If we didn’t choose today, how could we have easily wiped out all of you?
Lin Xia, blame your own sins, and also the fact that you fathered an incompetent son.”
The spectators dared not speak.
The matter had obviously involved a power struggle but from the looks of it, the mansion had undoubtedly come to deserve it.
The people didn’t feel sympathetic for him.
Especially because the mansion owner didn’t originally bear the surname Lin but was honored with it, an act that was bound to incite jealousy.
The mansion’s people tensely gathered at the center of the stage, surrounded by soldiers ready to pounce at any moment.
If Lin Xia and others did not surrender, a massacre was likely to start.
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, just as he was about to speak, a figure walked in from outside the mansion gate.
“Stop!”
The voice was clear and melodious, resembling the sound of an oriole singing from the valley.
Everyone knew it must be from a lady.
Everyone turned around to see Zi Ying walking in.
Lin Zhigao chuckled: “Little Princess Zi Ying, what brings you here?
You should hurry back.”
Zi Ying had a stoic face: “Lin Zhigao, since you know I’m a princess, you should also know that the entire Andromeda Galaxy is under the Fairy Empire, under Empress Zi Qianxia’s jurisdiction.
Wanghai Star may be remote, but it’s due to be integrated into the empire.
Now, order your troops to retreat, absolve the Mansion of its crimes, and let Lin Zhen pass his graduation exam.
When the empire’s rule arrives, I will put in some good words for you, letting you become a Lord.”
After she finished, Zi Ying stood there with her hands on her back.
Despite her young age, she had a powerful aura.
Lin Zhigao glanced at Zi Ying a few times, before bursting into a hearty laugh.
“Hahaha!
Give you an inch, and you really went a mile!”
He flung back his cloak, rising to his feet: “The Empress of the Fairy Empire is indeed Zi Qianxia, but it is well known that she has never married.
You came to Wanghai Star under the name of a princess of the empire.
I’m very curious, this princess…
where did she come from?”
Zi Ying was left speechless.
Her princess identity was indeed a falsehood.
Her real identity was that of the Fairy Empire’s empress.
But due to cultivating a peculiar technique, she had returned to her young girl’s form.
Although there was a chance of making further progress in the future, right now, to the public’s eyes, she was merely a young maiden.
Moreover, her strength had dramatically decreased.
Choosing to cultivate in a remote location like Wanghai Star was supposed to allow her to constant peace, given few people are strong enough to threaten her.
But peace was hard to come by even here.
“You…
didn’t you get the notification from the Empire?” Zi Ying challenged Lin Zhigao.
She had arranged for her confidante to send a notification when she came.
How else would she dare to appear claiming royal lineage?
Lin Zhigao sneered: “Of course, I got the notification.
To be wary of you, the impostor!”
“Lin Zhigao, you dare to behave so audaciously!” Zi Ying was furious, she hadn’t expected Lin Zhigao to act in defiance, openly lying.
“I am of the opinion it’s you who is audacious!
Daring to cause a commotion in front of the Lins.
Forget about being a princess, even if Zi Qianxia herself came here, would she dare to lay a finger on my Lin family?” Lin Zhigao was even more outrageous, hitting straight back at Zi Ying.
Zi Ying was left speechless once more.
She had no desire for power or territory, she had intended to hand over the empire to the Lin Family eventually.
But she didn’t expect Lin Zhen’s descendant to behave so insolently.
“Hahaha!
Left speechless, have you?
Today dealing with the mansion is one matter, and baiting you into the trap is another.
Now that things have come to this, let’s just catch all in one net!”
No sooner had Lin Zhigao finished his statement, a couple of people could no longer bear it.
Hu Feng and Kong Qianqian.
They were top two students of the academy, already famous among the group, and naturally wanted to make a name for themselves.
Seeing Zi Ying’s great beauty, Kong Qianqian was especially jealous.
Now, seeing Zi Ying with no way out, she wanted to show off her skills.
“Your Majesty, why bother talking with this young brat, let us capture her for you!” they said.
With that, Hu Feng and Kong Qianqian charged directly at Zi Ying.
Hu Feng’s Dantian energy erupted, revealing his War God level strength.
Zi Ying, on the other hand, stepped on her flying shuttle, appearing like a celestial being in mid-air, displaying the power of a Silver Mind Master.
With their first hand, there were plenty of people cheering for them.
Being academy students, they were the top two, capturing an unknown entity like Zi Ying should take little to no effort.
But what no one could’ve imagined happened.
Zi Ying looked annoyed as she watched Hu Feng and Kong Qianqian charge toward her.
Their action was laughable, like an elephant seeing an ant’s feeble attempt to hurt it.
Raising one hand, she suddenly slapped it horizontally!
“Out of my way!”
“Boom!”
Hu Feng and Kong Qianqian’s bodies were hit and sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into a flower wall nearby.
Blood spattered, and dust filled the air.
They fell to the ground in a wretched state, but the look in their eyes was one of incredulity, staring at Zi Ying as if they had seen a ghost.
They couldn’t believe that the two of them, working together, hadn’t been able to withstand even a single move from Zi Ying and had been batted away like flies.
Zi Ying’s icy gaze fell on the two, “Clowns need to be aware of their place, the likes of you two, I didn’t deem worthy of even a glance even five thousand years ago!”
When she spoke, her gaze strayed onto Lin Fan.
He was calmly standing throughout the ordeal, looks as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Lin Fan’s demeanor, Zi Ying felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart.
Turning to Kong Qianqian, she said, “You’re the stupidest woman I’ve ever met in my life.
You may never understand what a great opportunity was placed right in front of you.
Now you’ve squandered it with your very own hands.
Since you choose this fool, Hu Feng, you two may just as well live and die together.
