Chapter 54 Palace Coup, The Nightwalkers Strike!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the throne room was stunned. The second princess, Qing Fuyun, was particularly affected; her face darkened instantly.

The Star Commerce was the economic backbone of the Star Kingdom. Over a third of the kingdom's revenue came from this commerce, which was a testament to its importance.

But in just a moment, Qing Fuyun calmed down. The task Princess Leona had promised was simply impossible. Even if her father promised such a reward, could Leona achieve it? No way! Instead, Leona would lose her candidacy for the throne.

"Yes, Father, I will not fail you," Leona bowed respectfully.

Qing Fuyun sneered, "Sister, then I'll congratulate you in advance on becoming the head of the Star Commerce."

Though she said this, the mockery in her voice was unmistakable.

"Thanks!" Leona didn't even glance at Qing Fuyun, bowing again to King Aberla on the throne. "Father, I'll go and prepare now."

"Go ahead," he said.

Leona took her leave and headed straight for the respawn point of the Green Poison Spiders. As soon as she arrived, she saw Lin Tianhao effortlessly dodge the venomous attack of the Green Poison Spider King with a well-timed move, then shoot an arrow that pierced through its mouth and exited from its back.

"Ding, you have overleveled and killed the Green Poison Spider King. Experience +17,658. Blood Snow Guild Achievement +200."

"Ding, you have reached level 12. Free attribute points +5."

"Ding, you have completed the first kill of the Green Poison Spider King. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"

"No."

"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Blood Emperor for completing the first kill of the Green Poison Spider King. Special announcement. We hope all players will continue to strive."

"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Blood Emperor for completing the first kill of the Green Poison Spider King. Special announcement. We hope all players will continue to strive."

The server-wide announcement rang out. Lin Tianhao was already used to it. He looted the corpse while asking, "How about it?"

"I've said it," Leona replied concisely. "And I've guaranteed it. If I can't do it, I'll give up my candidacy for the throne."

"In a day."

"What do you mean, in a day?" Leona was a bit confused.

In a day, the Demon King's son, Greylinson, will die. The sound of his death will echo throughout the Star Kingdom," Lin Tianhao said calmly.

Leona's eyes widened in disbelief. In a day? To kill Greylinson, who was sealed? She was starting to think that Lin Tianhao was deliberately playing her. But she couldn't think of a reason why he would do that.

"Alright, if you can do it, I will get a huge reward, and so will you," she said.

"Go back and wait for the sound of Greylinson's death to echo throughout the Star Kingdom," Lin Tianhao said.

Leona nodded. She had chosen Lin Tianhao over the village head in the newbie village. This time, with such a daunting task, she decided to trust Lin Tianhao again, putting all her faith in him. Now, she had no way back.

Or rather, having spent so much time in the newbie village, if she wanted to compete for the throne, she had to take a gamble!

After Leona left, Lin Tianhao quietly took out the Book of Life and Death and wrote Greylinson's name on it.

In the Star Kingdom, beneath the Shattered Star Well, the Demon King's son, Greylinson, was sealed. The seal had already developed cracks. Two robed elders guarded the place. They were the kingdom's top array masters, constantly reinforcing the seal. But it was to no avail. The original demonic power from Greylinson's bloodline kept eroding the seal. The fact that they had held on until now was already remarkable.

Leona came here after parting with Lin Tianhao. She wanted to see how he would kill Greylinson, who was sealed.

She had just arrived when Qing Fuyun, not far away, walked over with a smile. "Sister, you're here? I want to see how you're going to kill Greylinson."

"Then keep your eyes wide open," Leona said, sitting down and closing her eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Qing Fuyun snorted coldly and sat cross-legged not far away.

In the shadows, there were also pairs of eyes watching. Greylinson was like a sword hanging over the Star Kingdom. Moreover, this time Greylinson's matter was linked to the throne competition. Anyone with a bit of sense knew that Leona wouldn't be so foolish as to risk her candidacy for the throne. So, she must have been confident. However, even King Aberla couldn't think of how Leona could use some means to kill Greylinson, who was sealed. Therefore, they were all watching to see what Leona would use.

Suddenly, the faces of the two robed elders changed abruptly. The sealing formation began to tremble slightly! An angry voice came from beneath the Shattered Star Well. "Damn it, I hate you. What did you do to me? Why is this happening?!!"

Greylinson, who was sealed, was already in a weak state. His health bar was less than a third of its peak. Moreover, in the sealed state, he couldn't use his skills, and his passive healing couldn't be triggered. He had been thinking that as long as he used his original demonic power to erode the sealing formation and break through the seal, he could wreak havoc. But now, he started to lose blood.

-14,654.

-14,654.

...

The blood loss was very stable. He lost over fourteen thousand health points per second, over eight hundred thousand per minute, and over fifty million per hour! With his current health bar, he couldn't last half an hour before he would die.

"Ahh!!"

"Who the hell are you? Come out! I'll tear you into pieces!!"

Greylinson roared in anger. But in the sealed state, he couldn't fight back and could only watch his health bar drop helplessly.

Greylinson's roar was heard by many people around. A lot of eyes focused on Leona. There was shock, disbelief, and anger! As for those who were angry, of course, they were those who had interests in conflict with Leona, such as... Qing Fuyun. Moreover, there were... the nightwalkers lurking in the palace. They were all very angry when they heard their Demon King's son roar. However, the nightwalkers, who were lurking in the palace, tore off their disguises and began to act after hearing Greylinson's roar. Not far away, a soldier suddenly stabbed his comrade in the waist from behind. The soldier who was stabbed widened his eyes in shock. The injury and the sudden change made him extremely shocked. But it was during this moment of shock that the soldier chopped off his head with a sword!
