Chapter 4498: Execute them on the spot Editor: Misty Cloud Translations “Your Majesty!” “Your Majesty!” The Abbot as well as Pan Ning’s face changed and exclaimed in shock, while the Emperor did not expect that demonic creature to suddenly come towards him. He instinctively shrunk back and wanted to avoid it, but his body couldn’t move as if it was controlled by a force. At the same time, the old man beside the Emperor swept forward desperately, the sword in his hand slashed at the golden toad, but there was only a clang as the sword in his hand was flicked away at the same time and he was sent flying out. “Bang!” The old man flew back and crashed into a corner and when he looked up, he saw that golden toad hugging the Emperor’s body, and in the next moment, letting out an insidious laugh, he suddenly turned into a ray of light and disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes. “Your Majesty!” The old man was startled, holding onto the wall and standing up, when he saw the Imperial Guards outside rushing in, and the Commander of the Imperial Guards roared in a deep voice, “Who dares to commit an assassination in the palace! Arrest him!” “Stop!” Pan Ning shouted sharply, hurriedly blocking Hao’er behind him, facing the Commander of the Imperial Guards, saying, “Misunderstanding, it’s just a misunderstanding!” “No one has committed an assassination, you all stand down!” The old man wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and commanded the Commander of the Imperial Guards. Seeing that old man speak, the Commander of the Imperial Guards hesitated for a moment and was about to retreat when he heard the Emperor’s voice. “Heh heh heh heh …” That laughter, which was a bit eerie, caused the hearts of the people in the hall to lift inexplicably, especially the few people who had previously seen that demonic creature pounce on the Emperor and disappear into his body, their faces were unusually grave. “It’s not a misunderstanding, these people are sure that they are trying to assassinate This Emperor, arrest them!” That Emperor who originally had his eyes closed opened his eyes and spoke in a sinister manner, the look on that face carried a few moments of strangeness and excitement, causing Pan Ning, the Abbot as well as that old man’s heart to sink. Was the Emperor being controlled by a demon? However, before they could slow down from that unbelievable shock, they heard the Commander of the Imperial Guards behind them respond respectfully, “Yes!” “Arrest them all!” With a command, the Imperial Guards surged out and quickly brought Abbot and Liao Wu under control, as they approached Pan Ning, the Imperial Guards were repelled by Pan Ning, and droned in a deep voice, “Things are not as you see them!” “They won’t listen to you, the only one they’ll listen to will be the Emperor, only, the Emperor is possessed and controlled by that demon.” Hao’er said calmly, his cold little face was indifferent, but he was holding a sword across the body of his siblings, while his mind was rapidly thinking of ways. “You guys back off!” The old man sank his voice and roared, telling the Imperial Guards to stand down. The old man was the Emperor’s confidant and usually spoke with heavy weight, but at this moment, the commander of the Imperial Guards hesitated. “Leave those two little ones alive, the others, execute them on the spot!” The Emperor’s gloomy voice sounded at this moment, undoubtedly making the atmosphere in the hall, which was already tense, more tense with each passing moment. “Yes!” The Commander of the Imperial Guards no longer hesitated, drawing his sword and attacking towards Pan Ning and the others in the hall. Even though there were doubts, but, a direct order was an order from the Emperor, they only needed to carry it out, no need to question it! Seeing the sword coming towards him, Pan Ning drew a breath of cold air, he had no weapon in his hand, at this time he could not resist, he could only retreat, but then bumped into Hao’er behind him. Hao’er pursed his lips, the sword in his hand swung, a sword qi slashed out and the Imperial Guards were all sent flying back. He turned back, looked towards the Emperor, as he looked at him with mockery and disdain, “Hmph! Do you really think that I can’t kill you if you hide inside?”
