Chapter 506: House Fight Turns into Thriller 45
The Netherworld leader was not to be outdone, he waved the black robe in his hand and started a fierce battle with the god. The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and the lightsaber and the black robe intertwined in the air to form a strange picture.
The princess and the others watched this thrilling battle, and they couldn't help but sweat for the gods. They knew that this battle was not only about their own survival, but also about the safety of the entire capital.
However, at this moment, a shocking news reached their ears.
"Princess! It's bad! Almost all the guards in the princess's mansion were killed!" A guard covered in blood stumbled over and shouted loudly.
The princess was struck by lightning when she heard this. She looked at the soldiers falling around her, and her heart was filled with sorrow and despair. She had never expected that this victory would come at such a heavy price.
"No! I can't let them die in vain!" The princess shouted. She waved the sword in her hand and rushed towards the Nether Lord again.
However, her strength seemed so small in front of the Nether Lord, who knocked her to the ground with just a wave of his hand.
"Humph! You think you can defeat me? You are just daydreaming!" The Netherworld Cult Master sneered. He looked at the princess and the others lying on the ground, his eyes flashing with cruelty.
At this moment, the god suddenly launched a fierce attack. He swung the lightsaber in his hand and instantly injured the Nether Lord. The Nether Lord screamed, and his body was covered by the lightsaber, as if it was burning.
However, the Netherworld Cult Master did not give up. He endured the pain and waved the black robe in his hand again, launching a counterattack against the God of Heaven.
The battle between the two fell into a stalemate again. The princess and others watched this thrilling battle, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness. They knew that if the gods could not defeat the Lord of the Netherworld, then they would all die.
However, at this moment, a miracle happened.
The god suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened his eyes. There was a golden light flashing in his eyes, as if there was an infinite power surging.
"God has come! All things return to their origin!" the God shouted. He waved the lightsaber in his hand and instantly defeated the Nether Lord. The Nether Lord wailed and struggled under the golden light, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the night sky.
The princess and the others watched this scene and couldn't help but cheer. They knew that they had finally defeated the Netherworld Cult and saved the safety of the capital.
However, when they were ready to celebrate their victory, they found that the situation around them was still not optimistic. Almost all the guards in the princess's mansion were killed, and the entire princess's mansion was in a mess.
The princess watched this scene with grief and self-blame in her heart. She knew that although this victory was hard-won, it came at a heavy price. She decided to properly bury the fallen guards and erect a monument to commemorate them.
So the princess and her companions began to get busy. They cleaned up the ruins of the princess's mansion and buried the fallen guards in a quiet place. Then, they erected a monument for the guards, on which were engraved their names and heroic deeds.
However, despite their best efforts, the battle still left an indelible shadow on them. The Princess's Mansion suffered heavy casualties, and many people lost their relatives and friends. Their hearts were filled with grief and anger, and they decided to work harder to practice martial arts and magic to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
The princess also grew up a lot in this battle. She became stronger and braver, and she decided to lead the people in the princess's mansion to rebuild their homes and avenge the guards who died in the battle.
The reconstruction of the Princess's Mansion was slow and difficult, but the princess and her followers never gave up. They worked day and night, watering the seeds of hope with their sweat, looking forward to the new Princess's Mansion rising again and becoming the pride of the capital.
However, the news of the princess' death was like a bolt from the blue, causing a great uproar in the capital. The news quickly spread to every corner of the capital, and every household fell into panic. People speculated whether the brave princess had unfortunately died in the battle with the Lord of the Underworld, or had encountered other unforeseen disasters.
In the palace, the emperor and the queen mother turned pale when they heard the news. They knew the princess's status in the hearts of the people of the capital, and they knew how much her death would shake the whole country. The emperor clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness; the queen mother covered her face and cried bitterly, she could not accept that the granddaughter she regarded as the apple of her eye had left her like this.
"How could this happen? She clearly defeated the Lord of the Netherworld, why would she still..." The Queen Mother choked up, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Perhaps the Netherworld Cult Leader used some evil spell before she died, or perhaps she was irreparably injured in the battle. But no matter what, we can't let this news continue to spread, otherwise the capital will fall into chaos."
The Queen Mother nodded, she understood the Emperor's concerns. So, they began to deal with the princess's body in secret, and announced to the public that the princess was practicing in seclusion to deal with possible crises in the future.
However, the truth will eventually come out. One day, a servant who used to work in the princess's mansion accidentally saw the place where the princess was buried. He was shocked and told the secret to the people around him. Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and the people of the capital fell into panic again.
Every household closed their doors, fearing that they would displease the emperor and the queen mother. On the streets, people were talking about the real cause of the princess' death and what might happen next. Some people even began to doubt the emperor's ability to rule, believing that he could not protect his daughter, let alone the entire country.
Inside the palace, the emperor and the queen mother also felt the pressure. They knew that if they could not calm down the turmoil as soon as possible, their ruling status would be seriously threatened. So they decided to hold a court meeting to explain everything to the ministers and seek their support.
At the court meeting, the emperor solemnly announced the princess' death and frankly told the ministers that the princess died heroically in the battle with the Nether Lord. He emphasized that the princess gave her life to protect the safety of the capital and the people, and her sacrifice was great and glorious.
However, the ministers were not convinced. They questioned the emperor's attempt to shirk responsibility by blaming the princess' death on an enemy who no longer existed. They demanded a reasonable explanation from the emperor, or they would no longer support his rule.
