I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: The battle of the night 4!
“Don’t you dare touch my Little Xue!” Ning Zhilian muttered her dagger, pierecing through the hand of Chen Luo.

Ning Xue opened her eyes when she heard the voice and looked at the woman standing in front of her “S-Sister Zhilian… *cough* I knew it…”

Yu Hua was also surprised to see Ning Zhilian ‘As I thought, that woman is not the real Lady Zhilian. I just recognized that the robes were also different.’

WHAT THE- Chen Buzi, Chen Luo, Lang Jian, Ming Shin, Xia Feng and ‘Ning Zhilian’ were shocked to the core to see the real Ning Zhilian standing in front of them.

“First… Princess?”

“How is she here?”

“I-Isn’t she dead on the night of the coup?”

‘Ning Zhilian’s’ eyes trembled in fear and shock, looking at the real Ning Zhilian and a mutter escaped her lips “Little… Zhilian?”

Huh? Little Zhilian? Ning Zhilian narrowed her gaze and quickly understood who is that woman who was acting like her.

“S-Sister.. Zhilian…”

Hearing the pain in Ning Xue’s voice, Ning Zhilian’s heart clenched in agony and her eyes welled up with tears as she gazed upon the distressing sight of her sister.

Because of the rebels she was fighting with until now on the battlefield, she didn’t notice Ning Xue until now.

She clenched the daggers in her hands and her eyes darkened “I know a woman… who is exceptional in illusions and poison.”

She glared at ‘Ning Zhilian’ in front of her and screamed in rage “WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO YOUR OWN NIECE? SECOND AUNT?”

Ning Xue’s heart shook in horror and a mumble escaped her lips “S-Second Aunt?”

“H-Huh? Lady Zhu?” Yu Hua was taken aback and looked at the fake Ning Zhilian standing in front of her.

“Tsk.” Ning Zhu clicked her tongue and the illusion began to wear off. The image of Ning Zhilian disappeared and a beautiful, mature face of a woman with black hair and purple eyes appeared.

“How the fuck are you still alive and you are even here?” Ning Zhu spoke in disgust, looking at Ning Zhilian’s face.

Ning Zhilian’s body trembled in anger and her eyes raged in crimson “Forget that… tell me, why are you doing this? Aren’t we a family? Why did you betray your own family?”

Ning Zhu narrowed her eyes and spoke “I had no other choice… It’s all because of the decisions taken by Brother.”

Father? Ning Zhilian and Ning Xue were confused. What did Father do?

Ning Zhu chuckled as she suddenly remembered the night of the coup 35 years ago “Do you know who initiated that coup 35 years ago?”

“It was me. I am the one who proposed that coup to the other sects and started the coup.”

H-HUH? Ning Zhilian’s eyes dilated in shock to hear the words from the same aunt, who adored them when they were young and took good care of them.

Looking at the kind-hearted woman, now standing in front of her like this…

Ning Zhilian’s voice trembled as she spoke, trying to make sense of the betrayal before her.

“Y-You started the coup…? W-Why? Isn’t he your brother? Why would you need to kill your own brother?” Ning Zhilian muttered in pain.

Ning Zhu’s glared at Ning Zhilian and lashed out “Brother? Has he ever thought of me as his sister? Huh?”

“I asked for nothing… but the throne for my son. My brother’s wife gave birth to three women and many were scared for the future of Zhenzhu.”

“That’s when I said… give the throne to my son. But he refused that and was adamant about passing the throne to you, Little Zhilian.”

Ning Zhu scoffed under her breath “Huff, his children should always rule, but me… my son always needs to bow in front of him?”

“And when you become the Queen, my son still has to bow in front of you? Huh? Am I not his sister? If he had ever thought of me as his sister… he would have given the throne to my son.”

“So, I thought of taking what rightfully belongs to my son. Who would want to get ruled under a woman?”

Ning Zhu bit her lips in frustration “B-But… during the coup, my son was also among the rebels and got killed that day.”

“So… I stayed in the Frozen Peak Sect till now and cultivated all these years so that I could finally get my revenge on you.”

Her eyes narrowed as she pointed the sword at Ning Zhilian “The miracle that day… it was someone on the Half-Empyreal stage right? Someone was hiding within the royal family and killed all the rebels that day.”

“So, I myself cultivated till the Half-Empyreal stage for 35 years so that I could kill you.”

“Now, call that ‘someone’ who helped you 35 years ago. Where is that miracle? Call that miracle now!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Only Ning Zhilian, Ning Xue, her father, and her mother know about Freya Everglade and about the High stars.

“You… did that all for the throne? Second Aunt! You killed your Brother, Sister, Mother, Father and other members of the royal family… for that throne?”

Hearing this, Ning Zhu smirked “If there are no other people from Royal family, then my son would rule.”

“Urghhh! *cough*” Ning Xue coughed as even more blood seeped out of her stomach and mouth.

Ning Zhilian quickly turned her head and saw teh critical state Ning Xue is in. If not treated, she would die of blood loss.

‘What should I do?’ Ning Zhilian’s eyes wandered around the people on the opposite and clicked her tongue.

‘Tch… they are on teh 9th level of the Monarch Astral Stage. The Second Aunt is Half-Empyreal stage and that guy too. I just need to escape from here somehow.’

*SWOOOOOOSSHHHHH* However, at this time, a horrifying aura instantly spread through the whole battlefield and the rebels and guards everyone, shivered in fear.

Ning Zhu’s body shuddered in dread and she instantly turned her head towards the palace. Huh? What is that?

On the balcony of Ning Zuiye’s room, Zhao Tian stood, a dark black energy bursting out from his body and his cold gaze fixed on Ning Zhu.

“Xue’er.”
