Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 414 Hai Palace (1)

Hou Liang frowned, but he knew that he couldn't stop what Feng Ao Kuai wanted to do. "Be careful."

"You too."

Feng Ao Kuai gave a brief nod before rushing down using the narrow staircase. He was not using the other one because row of soldiers from Nan Family was going up right now.

On the other hand, Hou Liang rushed to the top of the wall where Commander Hai was busy killing the soldiers around him. It was clear that the commander no longer cared whether the one he killed was friend or enemy.

He just wanted to kill them all.

"You have turned crazy by now." Hou Liang looked at the commander before him and sighed. The two of them entered the battlefield around the same time, so Hou Liang had known this commander for some time. They met occasionally.

Who would have thought that the Hai Family would be so ambitious that they even staged a rebellion with the Second Prince?

"You're here."

Commander Hai stopped his massacre. His body emitting the thick bloodlust as he looked at his old rival. There was a faint smirk on his face. "Are you here to laugh at me?"

"My task today is to kill you."

"Kill me?" Commander Hai laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Try it if you can."

"If you wish."

Swish!

Within a moment, Hou Liang had rushed over to Commander Hai's front. His sword swung at breakneck speed, not allowing ordinary people to see his speed at all. What they could see was nothing more than the afterimages.

Ding! Crack! Slash!

The two blades met with each other. With one attack, the sword on Commander Hai's hand was broken into two and the sword sliced across Commander Hai's body.

"Impossible…" Commander Hai's eyes widened in disbelief. He could never believe that Hou Liang's sword was sharper than him to the point of destroying his sword. Looking at the confident and calm look on Hou Liang's face, Commander Hai seemed to realize something.

This person…

"Why…?"

Hou Liang looked at Commander Hai for a moment. "I don't need it."

Commander Hai was stunned but then his eyes flashed with understanding. It seemed that everyone's dream was different and what he valued a lot was actually nothing for Hou Liang.

To think that he used to underestimate this person in the past.

With that, Commander Hai breathed his last.

"Commander Hou!"

"Clean up the soldiers here. Leave some for interrogation," Hou Liang paused for a moment. "It's preferable if you can get the higher ranked ones."

"Yes, Commander!"

Below the wall.

"Grandfather!" Nan Luo was overjoyed when he saw his grandfather coming on top of the horse. He ignored the pain in his right hand as he stretched both of his hand as if he was asking for permission to ride the same horse as his grandfather.

Old Master Nan was both amused and annoyed at his grandson's antic. He had the feeling that he would never have a peace with his grandson around him in the future following him around on the battlefield.

Oh, let it be.

He could afford taking care of this little troublemaker.

"Luo."

Old Master Nan allowed Xiao Yan to help Nan Luo to ride on his horse. He looked at the group of soldiers in front of him and nodded his head in approval. "You did good in convincing the soldiers."

"Eh Hehehe. It's not really my plan, though." Nan Luo was only in charge of executing it. The one who thought this plan was actually Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai. In fact, their plan did change midway because of the interception from Dark Moon Organization.

Old Master Nan looked at his grandson as he led his horse to move faster. "It didn't matter who pop the idea. You did well."

Hearing the rare praise, Nan Luo beamed. He was happy that his grandfather acknowledged him for what he had done.

"Grandfather!" Feng Ao Kuai called as he ran with Si Kang. "The palace is this way."

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Old Master Nan looked at the palace in the distance, wondering whether the people there were safe or not.

…

In the Hai Palace

Slash!

Another guard fell to the ground.

Running around the palace, Nan Hua had memorized the layout. There were a lot of places that the Hai Family used to gather the children and the officials. She didn't really like the job of cleaning, but it seemed that it was necessary.

"Mr. Nan."

Nan Hua turned around to look at the captain of the guard who came with Prince Yang Lu. His clothes were dyed with blood, the result of him eliminating the guards around them swiftly.

With the help of the few soldiers that Prince Yang Lu brought, it didn't take long for them to kill the guards around the main hall.

"What is it?" Nan Hua asked in a low tone. She had purposely changed her voice because it would risk getting her identity known if they ever heard Nan Hua's voice.

"We won't be able to survive if this continues." The captain pointed at the back.

Even though the poison was already purged, they were slowly approaching the limit of their physical abilities. After fighting and guarding for so long, most of the were already so tired that they could sleep while standing.

Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin were not exception. They were only struggling on sheer will because they didn't want to die yet.

"It wouldn't take long."

The guards hadn't rested for the night because they were standing guard in order to protect Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin. Right now, they were all tired.

Nan Hua herself was also tired, but this was not the first time.

"How long?" the captain asked.

"It'll depend on how long it'll take for them to breach the gate and enter the city." Nan Hua could see that the battle was getting heated at the gate, but she didn't know how much time would it take.
