Liu Futong and Chen Jie devise a plan to create chaos and rescue the Little Ming King. While Liu Futong rallies his men to enter the palace, Chen Jie instructs his followers to set fires and cause destruction. Chen Jie also interrogates an imperial guard to locate the Inner Treasury, aiming to steal a valuable item for himself.

"What!"

The Emperor suddenly climbed out of bed, looking at the little eunuch tumbling over himself, "What did you say?"

"Re-rebels have entered the Imperial City."

"What, rebels?"

The Emperor looked bewildered, and the little eunuch said, "Yes, they are now setting fires in the palace, and our Guard Team has been beaten badly. It seems there is another troop coming straight here, shouting slogans as they come."

"What are they shouting?"

The Emperor glared at the little eunuch, who said, "Kill, kill the Emperor!"

Hearing this, the Emperor immediately jumped up and dashed out barefoot, seeing this, all the palace maids behind him immediately shouted, "Your Majesty is exposed!"

A palace maid tried to put shoes on the Emperor, but the Emperor pushed her aside and rushed out the palace door, right away seeing the entire Imperial Palace ablaze, flames shooting towards the sky.

Outside, rain was pouring down, thunder and lightning cracking, startling the Emperor. Amidst such a violent scene, the front courtyard was still burning fiercely, flames reaching the rooftops, leaving everyone slack-jawed.

A group of palace maids was so frightened they didn’t dare breathe, while the shouts continued outside, and the Emperor could clearly hear: "Kill the Emperor, kill the Emperor!"

Hearing these words, Emperor Shun’s face turned pale.

Then the Emperor immediately shouted, "Quick, find the front hall guards, who is on duty today?"

"Your Majesty, it is National Guardian General Mu Hade!"

"National Guardian General?"

"Where is Master Dharma Ba?"

The Emperor shouted angrily, realizing that his palace had always relied on the Qincha Eight Guards, especially with Dharma Ba overseeing, allowing him to sleep peacefully. Now, when they’ve breached the gates, you’re telling me the Master isn’t here, what does that mean?

The little eunuch replied, "Master was invited away by Lord Tuo Tuo, and these days it’s been the National Guardian General guarding the palace!"

"What, Tuo Tuo invited my Master away? This is outrageous! Is the Master my guard or his?"

The Emperor roared furiously, his voice filled with wrath.

Tuo Tuo’s influence had become too extensive, taking away all his palace guards. Does he even regard me anymore?

Especially now, with the enemy already inside, it’s a critical moment.

The little eunuch listened to the approaching shouts and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry; if you don’t run, it could be too late!"

Upon hearing the little eunuch’s words, the Emperor said, "To the Ancestral Temple!"

The Ancestral Temple is the palace’s last line of defense, a temple dedicated to the emperors of Daqian’s past, a place filled with Imperial Dragon Energy. Being there should be safe for a while.

As long as Daqian doesn’t fall, the Ancestral Temple should remain secure for the time being.

Thinking this, the Emperor immediately ran toward the Ancestral Temple, while instructing the little eunuch, "Light the Panlong Smoke to call for help within the city, and immediately send someone outside to invite Boluo Timur into the city to quell the rebels."

"Also, send someone to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to invite Dharma Ba to assist."

The little eunuch replied, "Yes, I’ll go do that, but Your Majesty, these two might be too far to solve the immediate need. Additionally, this time, the attack is led by Yushan Shangren of the Zoroastrian Sect, the seventh-ranked expert on the Heavenly List, and there might be numerous Jianghu killers lurking unknown. I’m afraid these two can’t rescue in time."

The Emperor heard this and understood the situation was urgent. He took out a Jade Pendant from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch, "Take my Dragon Jade Pendant and immediately send people to the Great Buddha Temple to invite the Living Buddha to assist!"

"Yes, I will do so now."

The little eunuch took the Dragon Jade Pendant and immediately rushed out the door.

Now, the Emperor was terrified, running toward the direction of the Ancestral Temple, while the palace maids in panic followed half-clad.

Meanwhile, Liu Futong had already reached near the Inner Court, encountering the National Guardian General, Mu Hade, an existence at the Molten Furnace Realm. Leading three hundred Forbidden Guards, he pointed and rushed at Liu Futong, shouting, "Where do you thieves come from, daring to breach the Imperial Palace, courting death!"

These words charged directly at Liu Futong, and with just a glance, Liu Futong decapitated him.

In usual Jianghu martial competitions, a Molten Furnace Realm might withstand a few moves against a Melt God Realm expert, but facing a genuinely raging Melt God Realm warrior, there was but one path—to surrender completely.

Thus, with just a glance, the National Guardian General died on the spot.

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding guards were terrified, kneeling in surrender, while Liu Futong grabbed one and interrogated, "Where’s the Emperor?"

The guard pointed toward the rear courtyard, "In the rear courtyard."

Hearing this, Liu Futong tossed the guard to the ground, then led his men directly to the rear courtyard.

"Quick, close the door, activate the Dragon-breaking Gate, quickly!"

In panic, the Emperor rushed to the Ancestral Temple, immediately instructing everyone to start the temple’s mechanisms.

After a series of operations, soon, iron slabs crashed down, enclosing the six-sided ancient tower in front.

Meanwhile, a purple National Fortune Dragon Pearl atop the ancient tower began to rotate, absorbing Daqian Destiny to defend.

Such is Daqian’s Ancestral Temple, where the Grand Ancestor Emperor had once spent countless resources inviting the then-world’s foremost Array Master to set up this world’s greatest defensive array.

Why is this called the world’s greatest defensive array?

Because this Ancestral Temple is a massive Defense Treasure, with an orb found by the Grand Ancestor atop it.
