Chapter 174: Inviting the Emperor Father to His Death_3

Behind them,

there were Jinyi Guards, who had been ready for action, blocking their retreat.

Leading them was the Martial Saint of the Jinyi Guards, Zhangsun Xusheng.

Lastly,

there were twelve face-covered Death Guards.

"It seems the Emperor knew about today's incident well beforehand."

The black-robed monk's expression was grave.

These people were obviously pre-arranged to ambush them, merely waiting for their arrival.

Who leaked the information?

Zhang Lai Zi?

Impossible!

Zhang was clearly after the Grand Ancestor Relics, and with the Emperor's way of doing things, he would never share the Cao Family's possessions with others.

It didn't matter anymore.

The people who were presently before him

were all within the calculations of the black-robed monk.

It was just that the location for the decisive battle had changed, not at the temporary palace but in the sleeping quarters.

In terms of combat power, they still had the advantage.
