Chapter 7

Zhao Hao, who was already feeling murderous due to the merged memories and humiliation, squeezed the King's Sword in his hand tightly.

"Come and save me….."

"Uncle Yong, help..."

Li Yao reacted quickly on noticing the mansion gates. He screamed loudly seeing a glimpse of hope.

Zhao Hao sneered and egged him on: "Scream louder, like the pig you are." As he shouted, Dong Zhuo's combat power condensed. The thunder on Li Yao's body became thicker and bigger, contracted tighter, and plunged deeper into his flesh.

Li Yao, who seemed to have suffered thousands of swords and slashes, screamed even more miserably, worse than a squeeling hamster. His screams were loud enough to scare the entire Marshal's mansion.

"Who is making a racket outside?"

"It's the young master. Someone tied the young master to the door to provoke the master."

"Who is so bold, daring to kidnap the young master of the Grand Marshal's mansion?"

Li Yao's screams caused chaos in the house.

Soon, hundreds of guards rushed out of the mansion, headed by a burly man, wearing a heavy black iron armor and dragging a long sword upside down. His aura burst from his body stirring the dust on the ground.

Li Yong, Li Tianba's cousin was the president of the inner court of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Li Yong was also a Tier 1 war emperor cultivator. He was one of the top ten powerful fighters in the current court.

"Quickly put down Li Yao."

Li Yong dragged a long knife and rushed out. When he saw that the oppressor had come with Zhao Hao, he stopped in shock and almost fell down. Obviously he was taken aback: "It's you...the puppet emperor controlled by the family?''

'This kid was usually too scared to sit straight when he saw the Li family. Who gave him the courage to dare to take the initiative to provoke the Marshal's mansion?' Li Yong wondered.

"Yes, it's me." Zhao Hao gestured, holding his head high enough such that some servants could spot his nostrils.

"War emperor level 1, huh!" Dong Zhuo moved to protect Zhao Hao, his voice full of contempt.

"I know this person, among those in power currently, he is considered to be a famous warrior." Zhao Hao smiled and asked, "Dong Zhuo, how confident are you that you can fight and defeat this person?"

"He is not worthy to fight with me." Dong Zhuo replied simply. The black flames on his huge body blazed, bursting into an astonishing aura, the air wave directly caused the sand to fly in all directions.

Being rushed by Dong Zhuo's aura, Li Yong's stabbed his long sword into the ground for support but it couldn't hold him in place against the ground, he could only stagger back and retreat.

The guards of the Li Mansion behind Li Yong were swept in the wave and sent flying. They only stopped after hitting the mansion walls and gate.

Everyone was shocked!

'No wonder Zhao Hao gained such courage, it turns out that there was such a strong cultivator backing him'

Zhao Hao watched the scene unfold and realized he had really underestimated the god generals summoned by the system. Compared with Li Yong's war emperor 1st rank, the combat power of Dong Zhuo was obviously different. They were incomparable.

'Zhao Hao, what's your reason for coming here?' Li Yong asked solemnly. Under Dong Zhuo's aura, he was secretly shocked. He raised his head and saw Li Yao who was still crucified on the giant sword, 'Sigh, such torture is worse than death!'

'I came to escort your young master home safely to ensure he doesn't get lost. In exchange I only request the emperor's Jade seal as payment." Zhao Hao didn't say that he wanted to destroy the Li Tianba and his nine generations but rather probed for the Jade seal.

"Oh~oh~"

Li Yao howled very again, just in time to aid Zhao Hao in the negotiations.

"You want to reposess the jade seal of the kingdom!" Li Yong's brows creased, and he immediately understood that the young emperor wanted to regain power.

"Why not? Your Li family seems to only have this son as the heir. Do you wish to cut off your lineage?" Zhao Hao's eyes flickered, and he added.

Li Yao groaned twice, he wished to say that his manhood had already been severed but he was afraid he would not be saved if he said that.

"This..." Li Yong's face sank, and he moved to pass on the jade seal of the kingdom. In the absence of Li Tianba , he was the one left in charge and had therefore been given the custody of the seal. Except for Li Tianba, no one in the entire mansion dared to make a decision on whether to abandon Li Yao and therefore he opted to hand over the seal thinking it could be recovered later.

Li Yong was secretly surprised, 'How did this waste of an Emperor become so aggressive.'

While passing the seal over to Zhao Hao, Li Yong hesitated as he heard a commotion nearby

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of armor and blades rubbing against each other became apparent.

Li Yong, who was at a loss, was overjoyed.

"Crap!" Zhao Hao turned his head to look, and was exasperated at the added nuisance.

The flames on Dong Zhuo's huge body burned instinctively.

Three groups of people rushed out from the three gates, of the palace and rushed towards the mansion.

A team consisted of about two hundred people each. The group rushing from the southern gate all wore gold armor and swords hanging from their waists; the people rushing out from the east gate all wore silver armor and held spears; while the group that rushed out from the north gate consisted of people dressed in court official uniforms and held large knives.

These groups were part of the three internal armies dedicated to guarding the palace.

The army of Divine Dragon Kingdom was divided into three external armies and three internal armies. The three outer armies refers to the infantry, cavalry, and navy forces that attack any enemies aiming to invade; the inner three armies specialized in protecting the imperial city. The dragon empire once had tens of millions of lions, but now it has been defeated. The inner three armies, had been reduced to 30,000 people ever since the defeat of the Divine Dragon empire. The inner army was likewise, loyal to Li Tianba.

Soon Zhao Hao found himself in an encirclement.

Zhao Hao sneered: "Heh, it seems that the three internal armies have turned into the three Marshal's armies and are no longer the three armies guarding my palace."
