The Xuan Emperor had fainted from rage, and the place was in complete confusion.

The Fifth Prince and the Right Chancellor saw their chance and meant to slip away in the middle of it.

"Geng the Purple Coat. Seize the Fifth Prince and the Right Chancellor for me and put them in the Inspectorate's cells. They are to be guarded to the death, and nobody is to be allowed in to see them."

Geng Jing nodded.

"Old Pan, pass my order along. The whole city goes under martial law."

"Yes, my lord!"

The Fifth Prince screamed, "Ning Chen, without Father Emperor's order, what right do you have to arrest us?"

Ning Chen paid him no attention at all. He gathered up the Xuan Emperor and shouted, "Geng the Purple Coat, if they dare resist, cut them down. If there is trouble over it, I'll answer for it."

"Commander Nie, send for the Imperial Physicians, quickly."

Then, out of nowhere, the Fifth Prince screamed, "Guo Wuxiang! What are you still waiting for?"

There was a snapping sound.

Guo Wuxiang, in handcuffs and leg irons, tore the cuffs and the chain apart by main force and broke out of the grip of the two Ning'an Army men holding him.

It has to be understood that the chain between the cuffs and the irons was as thick as a thumb, and that even a first-rate fighter could not have snapped it by main force.

From the moment he was brought in until now, Guo Wuxiang's face had been full of terror and he had been shaking himself into a knot.

And Guo Wuxiang was thin and not strongly built at all.

Nobody had imagined he was anything like this dangerous.

Free of his bonds, Guo Wuxiang threw himself at Ning Chen like a bolt of lightning.

Feng Qizheng and Chen Chong, who had not left Ning Chen's side, went to meet him together.

Thud, thud!!!

Two dull impacts, and Feng Qizheng and Chen Chong were flung straight back through the air.

One exchange, and both men were beaten, and beaten completely.

Ning Chen…
