Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 253 Assassination of Qin Wu, Qin Wu's Scheme

Under the investigation of the Immortal Sect.

The results came quickly: after the Immortal Sect reinforcements landed, everything they encountered along the way was orchestrated by the Eastern Qin.

Upon receiving this result, Qi Zongzhu was so angry that he almost wanted to personally lead an attack on the Eastern Qin army.

Fortunately, Elder Gu stopped them, otherwise the Immortal War would have started immediately.

They did not want to be the ones to start the Immortal War prematurely.

After all, the Central Region is already in chaos, and the fact that the Central Continent is in turmoil at this time is very disadvantageous for them.

But they simply couldn't swallow this insult.

They then began to plot to have the four ancient clans or the loose cultivator alliance break the rules first.

That very night, a group of Grandmaster-level assassins infiltrated the Divine Martial Army camp and headed directly towards Qin Wu's location.

They wanted to assassinate Qin Wu, though they knew the chances of killing him were slim.

However, whether or not they can kill Qin Wu is not important. Their goal is to severely injure Qin Wu, so that he will become enraged and recklessly initiate the Immortal War.

Then they will be able to act without restraint.

The assassins were exposed when they entered the military camp.

However, Qin Wu also wanted to see what they were up to, so he deliberately let them in.

Meanwhile, the secret guards were also lurking in the shadows, following them.

They all wanted to see what these ants at the Grandmaster level were up to.

They were within a thousand meters of Qin Wu's royal tent when...

The eleventh elder and others arrived at Qin Wu's royal tent.

"Boy Wu, did you let those ants in on purpose?"

The eleventh elder looked at Qin Wu, who was drinking alone, and asked with a smile.

They all realized that although the group was quite large, the strongest among them was only a Grandmaster of the Ninth Realm.

What they want to do here is a complete joke.

"Well, it's rare for someone to come and have some fun, how can I miss it?"

Qin Wu said with a smile, while gesturing for his personal guards to bring out the wine.

Enjoying wine and watching the fun together is also a good idea.

The group didn't stand on ceremony; Qin Wu's wine was a fine product, made from rare and precious ingredients.

They've been craving it for a long time.

Now that such a good thing is happening, they don't want to miss it.

Of course, with fine wine comes delicious food, and sure enough, the delicious food arrived shortly after the wine.

While enjoying the food and wine, everyone's consciousness wandered outwards, focusing on the group of clowns and watching their movements.

These people were still heading towards the royal tent, and soon they reached the outside of the tent and surrounded it.

The leading Grandmasters of the Ninth Realm immediately made a hand gesture.

The crowd then prepared to attack the royal tent.

Just now.

A group of soldiers in black armor appeared.

"Everyone, do you need help?"

The black-armored general at the head of the group spoke up, his words full of sarcasm.

This sound also made the group of assassins stop.

They then realized they were surrounded.

Everyone was immediately alarmed, but they also realized that they were surrounded and their whereabouts had been exposed.

Suddenly, they felt like clowns. Their infiltration had gone smoothly, and they thought the Divine Martial Army was nothing special, just relying on their cannons.

Now it seems that the Divine Martial Army deliberately let them in.

Let's trap them like turtles in a jar.

"What, are you all silent? Have I disturbed you?"

The black-armored general continued his taunts.

At the same time, the domain expanded, enveloping them all within it.

An aura of pressure emanated from him, forcing all the assassins to their knees.

"You're no good! What happened to the Immortal Sect? Why did they send you here? Are they looking down on our Prince, or do they think you've lived too long and are sending you to your deaths?"

The mockery continues.

Every word he said was like a knife, stabbing into the hearts of these people.

"If you don't speak up, it means you've resigned yourself to your fate."

"Take them down!"

Seeing that none of these people were speaking, the black-armored general didn't want to waste any more time.

They were ordered to have their cultivation completely destroyed and then taken away.

He went directly into the royal tent.

"Your Highness, capture them all."

The black-armored general reported back to Qin Wu.

"Yes, interrogate them thoroughly, don't let them die. After the interrogation, erect a pillar outside the military camp and hang the bodies on it. If they dare to send people to assassinate me, then don't blame me for humiliating them."

"By the way, tell Qi Ye to give the Immortal Sect army a good beating tomorrow, so they can vent their anger."

"Publicly declare that I am seriously injured and unconscious. I want to see what the Immortal Sect will do next."

Qin Wu slowly issued the orders.

As soon as he gave the order, the black-armored general immediately understood what Qin Wu was going to do.

This is going to screw over the Immortal Sect again!

"Yes, I will do it right away."

The black-armored general left.

Subsequently, the imperial guards placed King Wu of Qin's tent under strict protection.

Furthermore, healers from the Poison Doctor Valley in the army were constantly going in and out of the royal tent, and blood-stained gauze and bloody water were constantly being brought out.

It was as if Qin Wu was truly seriously injured.

But no one knew that Qin Wu was actually slaughtering sheep and cattle in his royal tent, preparing to roast them.

"Your Highness, someone has indeed spread the news that you were assassinated and seriously injured."

"According to the intelligence we intercepted, these people are not only from the Immortal Sect, but also from our Eastern Qin. Several princes have placed people in the army."

Liu Feng entered the royal tent and reported to Qin Wu.

"Oh, it seems my royal brother and nephews are about to start causing trouble again!"

"Besides them, are there any other forces involved?"

Qin Wu sneered.

He never expected that these people would have the audacity to plant spies within the Divine Martial Army; they were truly bold.

"Yes, but they are not planted in the Divine Martial Army, and there are quite a few of them."

"Some people have even started spreading rumors in secret, trying to throw the army into chaos."

Liu Fengbing reports.

"check."

"Send a message to the Princess, instructing her to personally teach my elder brother and nephews a lesson, so they understand that some thoughts are not to be entertained."

"As for the other forces, kill them and feed them to the dogs."

Qin Wu coldly gave the order.

This is a good opportunity for him to reorganize his large army.

Let's also see which forces are blind to the danger and have overreached.

This time, we'll gouge out their eyes and chop off their hands.

"Yes."

Liu Feng accepted the order and withdrew.

"Young Wu, you deliberately claimed to be seriously injured and unconscious this time, so you wanted to eliminate the spies in the army!"

The eleventh elder and the others finally understood why Qin Wu had pretended to be seriously injured.

I didn't understand it before, but now I do.

"They're just incidental; you'll understand in a few days."

Qin Wu's words clearly showed his disdain for that group of people.

These people weren't the ones he was really after.

After thinking for a while, everyone had their own guesses.

Although they are not good at scheming, they are not fools, and Qin Wu's calculations are probably even greater.

It's highly likely they're plotting against the Immortal Sect.

Their guess was correct; Qin Wu was indeed plotting against the Immortal Sect.
