A series of footsteps could suddenly be heard from the outside and a loud shrill sounded, “Emperor… Emperor… things are bad…”

The two brothers were startled. They could hear that this voice belonged to Yu ManLou’s wife, the current empress! Just what would happen to make the usually steady empress so flustered?

With a loud bang, the door was flung open and a middle-aged woman dashed in with a gust of wind trailing behind her. With her speed, it is obvious that her martial arts weren’t weak either.

“Emperor… the eunuchs and maids are revolting!”

“What?” Yu ManLou’s body shook. How can this be possible? A bunch eunuchs and weak palace maids know how to revolt? It was both impossible and illogical!

Before Yu ManLou could even ask what was going on, he heard a commotion from the outside. In the imperial palace, a couple of places were smoking and on fire. Miserable shrieks, quarreling, and fighting could be heard all around.

Yu ManLou flew into a rage and roared, “I am going to take a look!” He then turned around and left.

“I am going as well!” Yu ManTian couldn’t be at ease and followed behind Yu ManLou.

Yu ManLou looked at him silently and didn’t say a thing. The two brothers then walked out one after another.

On the outside, the entire palace had already fallen into chaos. Fighting could be seen everywhere and those revolting eunuchs and maids all had a demented look on their faces. They did not have any weapons on their hands and they were fighting with their teeth and nails. They charged forward valiantly and faced the skilled guards of the palace as though they were mad. Perhaps it wouldn’t be appropriate to say ‘as though they were mad’ because they were truly mad!

“Their minds have been thrown into chaos!” Yu ManLou could tell with a single glance. At the same time, he had an inexplicable doubt in his heart. With the sheer size of the palace, who would have the power to bewilder the minds of so many eunuchs and maids together? Furthermore, their situation was so severe!

During this short moment when Yu ManLou was pondering, a large change occurred again!

While the situation was chaotic, the guards were able to easily suppress the chaos. After all, those creating the chaos almost had no strength whatsoever. All the eunuchs and maids were caught and thrown to the corner of the wall in a pile. If not for their numbers and crazed antics, the chaos would have long been suppressed. However, the situation was gradually getting under control.

Right at this moment, a change occurred.

Just when a guard pushed a maid down onto the ground, his body suddenly paused for a moment before he let out a roar to the heavens. His eyes turned red as though he had turned crazy and he turned around abruptly.

The guard beside him who was his brother of many years cried out, “Wang San, what’s going on?”

Wang San’s eyes were completely red and he did not respond to his brother. After struggling with himself for a short while, he suddenly unsheathed his blade and cleaved his best brother into two with a loud roar!

A series of gasps sounded!

That Wang San held up his bloodstained blade and looked at the fellow guards around him with a ferocious gaze. He then let out a loud roar and waved his blade around without bothering who was around him. In just a short while, there were many who were injured!

“Kill him quickly! He has gone crazy! Kill him without mercy!” Yu ManLou ordered.

A dozen of blades immediately flashed and Wang San burst out laughing without bothering to avoid the blades. At the same time,he swung the blade in his hand down and cleaved a nearby guard into two. At the same time, his own body was diced into pieces by the incoming blades.

All the guards panted heavily and were still in shock. They did not understand why something so queer could happen.

Amid the heavy panting, a few of them began an irregular panting as they gasped for air and their eyes turned red. Finally, they had also become deranged like Wang San and mercilessly attacked their companions!

After noticing their oddities, the guards around them already placed their guards up and thus these few deranged individuals did not cause much damage before being slashed down.

Very slowly, the irregular breathing began spreading among the guards like a plague…

Yu ManLou suddenly circulated all of his inner qi and with his face ashen, he let out an earth-shattering roar. When everyone present was shaken by the roar, Yu ManLou’s figure shot out. A series of banging sounds could be heard and all the guards were sent flying with a single palm. He used sufficient strength to ensure that they were rendered immobile without any threat to their lives.

Yu ManLou’s face was calm and he ordered the few XianTian experts behind him, “With this chaos being so widespread, there must be a problem with the water source. All of you must take control of the imperial kitchen. From now on, no one will be allowed to consume any food or water. At the same time, order everyone who has inner qi to gather over! All of you must act quickly! Gather all of the imperial physicians as well and ask if they have any plan to stop this mess! Hurry up!”

“Yes!” Knowing that no delay would be allowed, they sped away quickly.

“What powerful means!” Yu ManLou’s face was ashen, “They were actually able to cause so many to fall prey to their means without anyone noticing.”

Yu ManTian was completely dumbfounded. With his brain, he still could not figure out what was going on, “Big brother, what is going on?”

“What is going on?” Yu ManLou glared at him, “If I am not wrong, the entire imperial palace has fallen prey to a strange medicine. The guards have martial arts and so the effects are delayed. Thankfully this started happening with those who didn’t have martial arts so we have some buffer time. If not, there wouldn’t be a Yu Family tonight!”

“It is actually so serious!” Yu ManTian gasped in shock.

“Are you still suspecting me? Look over there?” Yu ManLou bellowed, “That Wang San lost his mind and actually killed his own brother! If both me and you also fall into such chaos, will the Yu Family still exist?”

Yu ManTian was dumbfounded and could not say a thing.

Yu ManLou remained calm and he gave a series of orders. He knew that time was tight. The moment there was a delay, there would be no turning back!

His methods were resolute. The moment he noticed something was wrong, he immediately knocked out all of the guards and gathered the experts of the Yu Family. They then began treating the injured ones.

After all of the orders were given, Yu ManLou let out a long sigh. Currently, the only thing left to do was wait.

Yu ManLou then looked at his third brother with a complicated gaze, “Third brother, do you see all of these? These are the methods others have employed on our Yu Family. What do you think about these methods? Are they righteous?! This is war! A battle where no method would be spared!”

“…” Yu ManTian opened his mouth but could not say a single word. At this moment, Yu ManTian still could not react to what had just happened.

“It is impossible to attain such a frightening effect by relying on outside forces alone. There are definitely spies in the Yu Family!” Yu ManLou snorted coldly. The more complicated things were, the calmer Yu ManLou would be. He then took two steps forward and said, “Close the city gates. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the city!”

A White Jade expert beside him acknowledged the order and left.

At this moment, the entire palace was filled with silence with the smell of blood all around. Despite it being in the bright daylight, the place seemed extremely creepy.

On the outside, the chaos gradually spread in all directions and the whole Bright Jade City fell into a mess. Fire could be seen all around from all over the city as though the end of the world had arrived.

Yu ManLou approached the window with his face cold.

As the commotion approached the palace, fighting could suddenly be heard outside the palace.

A yellow dressed leader sprinted in and knelt on the ground, “Reporting to your majesty, for some reason, the second prince deployed his troops and is attacking the palace!”

“What?!” Yu ManLou, Yu ManTian, and the empress cried out in surprise!

Yu ManLou had ordered that all the guards with a cultivation beneath the Blade Jade grade to be tied up and await treatment. In the palace, there were less than a hundred guards at this moment. Why would there be a revolt at this time?

Yu ManLou turned around with frightening killing intent in his brows! It wouldn’t matter if this was anyone else, but to think that his own son would also revolt! At this moment?!

Yu ManLou did not say a word and walked out.

A figure flashed and the empress spread out her arms to block him, “Your Majesty, you know that the prince… he may have been drugged… he isn’t in the right frame of mind!”

“He can attack the palace because he isn’t in the right frame of mind? He can attack his father? He is truly capable!” Yu ManLou’s face was frosty. “If not for his mind being set on the throne, why would he attack the palace at this moment? Hmph! Not in the right frame of mind? The more he isn’t in the right frame of mind, the more unforgivable his crimes! Move aside!”

Seeing the empress still blocking him, Yu ManLou’s face remained cold. All of a sudden, his palm struck out on the empress’ cheek and sent her flying thirty feet away. Yu ManLou then continued walking towards the exit of the palace!

“Stop big brother!” Yu ManTian quickly flew forward to block the way, “How can you be so rash in this matter? You know that this isn’t the character of my nephew! Are you going to punish him?”

Yu ManLou looked at Yu ManTian with the blazing flames of rage in his eyes, “The entire world can go against me or kill me apart from a few individuals! You and second brother cannot! My son… all the more cannot!”

“But even if you want to punish him, you have to first cure him of the poison!” Yu ManTian had already forgotten about his previous displeasure and was anxious to the point his head was full of sweat, “If you… if you…” He was shocked by the words that were about to come out from his mouth. Even with his carefree personality, the words ‘kill him’ truly shocked him!

That was his big brother’s biological son!
