With this, the seventh hall master and Liu Yue who were both in the air went separated. The seventh hall master went to intercept one of the assassins whereas Liu Yue flew towards the emperor.
In mid air, the seventh hall master struck the assassin with his Poisonous Sand Palm.
Behind him, Liu Yue landed softly besides the emperor and quickly helped the very afraid emperor up.
The royal guards quickly surrounded the two in order to protect them.
Their movements were very quick and precise. There were no room for error.
After surrounding the two, they unsheathed their swords and held them up high. Inside the encirclement, only Liu Yue and the emperor were present.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, assassins flooded into the hall from every direction.
Miserable cries and calls for help filled the entire room.
The ministers, high ranking officials and noblemen lumped together in a panic.
Most of the officials and noblemen did not know martial arts at all, so when something like this happened, they all lost their minds. All they can do now is crawl and beg for help like a dog.
The ministers who knew martial arts kept calm. They drew their swords and defended themselves.
This wasn’t that surprising actually. The emperor had shown himself out in the open. There are many people who are willing to take this chance to assassinate him. The emperor had experienced something like this back when he was younger.
What they didn’t expect was that this group of people dared to attack even though there were so many people present.
Did they think that the Hou Jin Empire, Liu Yue and West Cliff were herbivores?
In an instant, the hall that was filled with happiness turned very bloody.
The seventeenth princess had already fainted from the shock.
“Liu Yue! Protect my father.”
Standing on the side, the crowned prince Chen Fei’s face sank. Being protected by the sixth hall master, he turned towards Liu Yue and yelled.
Although, with Liu Yue, a great martial artist, by his father’s side, he didn’t have to worry about anything. But he still could not keep his cool.
Seeing that Liu Yue and the emperor were both protected by the royal guards, he calmed down a bit.
At the same time, the sixth hall master began to whistle.
In the span of a few seconds, dozens of West Cliff’s hidden guards came rushing in.
