Chapter 5384

Wu Hao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. “Thank goodness Daoist Chen returned in time, otherwise I would have really fallen for Liu Kun’s scheme. What should I do now? The princess is still in his hands, and he might have ambushed me in the Divine Capital.”

“Lord, the most urgent task is to return to the Divine Capital immediately and take control of the situation.”

Kai said, “Since Liu Kun planned all this, he must have laid a backup plan in the Divine Capital. If we delay our return, he will likely seize the opportunity to seize control of the Divine Capital. As for the princess, we can first send someone to secretly investigate her whereabouts and then find a way to rescue her.”

Wu Hao nodded: “Okay! Let’s do as Fellow Daoist Chen said! Pass the order down, turn around immediately and return to the Divine Capital!”

The imperial guards did not dare to delay and immediately turned their horses around and galloped towards the north gate of the capital.

Kai and Zi Yuan followed Wu Hao, always alert to the movements around them.

Soon, the north gate of the capital was in sight.

However, when everyone approached the north gate, they found that it was closed and the city wall was full of soldiers from the National Defense Corps, led by Liu Kun’s trusted deputy general.

“The king is back! Open the city gate quickly!” Ao Lie, the commander of the imperial guards, shouted loudly.

The deputy general on the city wall sneered, “Lord? The capital of the gods is now under the control of the Prime Minister. No one is allowed to enter the city without the Prime Minister’s order!”

“What?”

Wu Hao’s expression suddenly changed, “How dare Liu Kun betray me!”

“Lord, at this point, are you still stubborn and unwilling to change your ways?”

The deputy general said, “The Prime Minister is destined to rule, and sooner or later he will control the entire Sixth Heaven. You’d better surrender obediently, and the Prime Minister may even spare your life!”

“fart!”

Wu Hao shouted angrily, “Liu Kun has evil ambitions and has betrayed the Kingdom of God. He must be killed by everyone! If you know what’s good for you, open the city gates immediately and surrender. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“You’re welcome?”

The deputy general sneered, “Lord, do you think you still have a chance? The State Guarding Corps has already taken control of every gate and key department of the Divine Capital. The Imperial Guards are no match for us. If you know what’s good for you, surrender immediately, or we will not be polite!”

Wu Hao was so angry that he was shaking all over and was about to order an attack on the city gate.

Kai quickly stopped him, “Lord, don’t be impulsive. The National Defense Corps occupies a strategic position. A forceful attack will only result in casualties. We should retreat to a nearby town, gather our forces, and then attempt to recapture the Divine Capital.”

Wu Hao also knew that Kai was right, so he could only suppress his anger: “Alright! Let’s retreat first! Liu Kun, I will avenge this!”

At this moment, the deputy general on the city wall suddenly ordered: “Shoot!”

Countless arrows shot towards the Imperial Guards, who quickly formed a shield around themselves.

Kai and Zi Yuan immediately protected Wu Hao, using their spiritual power to block the arrows shot at Wu Hao.

“Retreat!” Wu Hao shouted loudly.

The imperial guards fought and retreated, fleeing towards a distant town.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the National Defense Legion on the city wall did not pursue them, but simply closed the city gates again and strengthened their vigilance.

Wu Hao led the imperial guards to retreat to a town called Qingfeng Town before stopping.

At this moment, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

The capital of the gods was occupied, the princess was abducted, Liu Kun rebelled, and a series of changes made him extremely anxious.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, what should we do now?” Wu Hao looked at Kai, his eyes full of anticipation.

Kai pondered and said, “Lord, although Liu Kun controls the Divine Capital, his rebellion is unpopular. There must be many people in the National Defense Corps who are unwilling to follow him.

Moreover, once his conspiracy to kidnap the princess and obtain the sacrificial treasure book spreads, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people of Shendu and other forces.

What we need to do most now is to stabilize the morale of the army, unite with forces loyal to the Kingdom of God, and then wait for an opportunity to retake the capital.”
