"Good-for-nothing! You're all a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
In the main hall, Ying Zheng was roaring.
"The imperial prison is so tightly guarded, how did Sheng Qi escape?”
"Why did the guard die inexplicably? Investigate, investigate for me!”
Zhao Gao bowed at the side.
"Your Majesty, the network has already sent people to investigate. It should be Sheng Qi's accomplices who infiltrated the imperial prison and rescued him.”
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
"A bunch of trash!"
His gaze slowly swept across the many officials below the hall.
"There are so many Qin soldiers in Xianyang City, but they still can't catch Sheng Qi?”
Li Si stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I've already ordered the yamen to investigate strictly. I believe there will be news soon.”
"I don't care about this!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve.
"Three days later, I want to hear the news of Sheng Qi's arrest.”
……
Orchid Pool Palace.
Lu Xuan was cultivating.
Ever since he stepped into the first realm of Heaven Man Unity, his improvement speed had clearly slowed down a lot.
Currently, Lu Xuan's mastery of the Legacy was only at 84%, and he could no longer increase it.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, such progress was already unimaginably fast.
But in Lu Xuan's heart, it was still a little slow!
"Looks like I still need an opportunity to break through.”
Lu Xuan understood.
At this moment.
The system's mechanical and cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding! Dark Swordsman Sheng Qi has escaped from the prison.
Ding! Please choose:
[Option 1: Ignore this matter and stay in the residence to cultivate. Reward: Heavenly Sword!]
[Option 2: Head to the yamen and assist in capturing the black swordsman Sheng Qi. Reward: Divine Weapon Dragon Slaying Saber!]
[Option 3: Act alone and find the black swordsman Sheng Qi. Capture or kill him. Reward: Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber!]
Lu Xuan thought.
Sheng Qi had escaped, so he could use him to test his sword!
"I choose three!"
Lu Xuan said without hesitation.
Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber were both peerless divine weapons.
It would be good to get any one of them.
But since he could take them all, why not?
Ding! Selection successful. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible.
The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately left.
Ever since the Wangyi Palace banquet, Zhang Han had become his subordinate. The Shadow Secret Guards no longer monitored him.
This also showed that Lu Xuan had gained Ying Zheng's trust.
"Where did Sheng Qi escape to?"
Lu Xuan's mind spun as he left the mansion.
There was already a sentry post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps in Xianyang City. There were people investigating everywhere, so Sheng Qi would most likely not stay in the city.
Xianyang City only had palace walls and no city walls.
Although the security was tight, Lu Xuan believed that it would not be able to trap the black swordsman Sheng Qi.
Thinking of this, he used his lightness skill and flew out of the city.
As soon as the Floating Wave Void was unleashed, the surrounding commoners and soldiers could only see an afterimage.
"What a fast figure!"
"Who is he? Why are you flying faster than a bird?"
"You don't know about this, do you? That was the Divine Immortal Marquis that His Majesty had recently conferred. He was the disciple of an immortal!”
"So you're an Immortal's disciple. No wonder you can fly in the sky.”
The commoners in Xianyang City discussed animatedly.
Lu Xuan's figure had long disappeared without a trace.
There seemed to be many roads out of the city, but the west and south were all within Great Qin's territory, so Sheng Qi would definitely not go to these places.
To the north was where the Xiongnu Royal Palace was located, and Great Qin had a large army gathered in the north, which was heavily guarded.
Only to the east was the old land of the six states.
Even though Great Qin had unified the world, the hearts of the six countries had not been completely subdued.
He still needed time to slowly assimilate them.
After all, the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had lasted for hundreds of years.
A country could be destroyed and pacified with a single war.
People's opinions could not be changed overnight.
Once Sheng Qi escaped into these places, he would be like a dragon entering the sea or a phoenix ascending to the sky.
Therefore, Lu Xuan also aimed at this place.
This was a road that led to the east. People came and went. Although it was not as dense as the city, it could be said that there was an endless stream.
Lu Xuan followed the path and observed as he walked.
Suddenly, a terrified scream was heard.
"Help! Someone come quickly! Help!"
It was the voice of a young girl.
Lu Xuan quickly activated his Light-body Technique and chased after the sound.
In a mountain valley not far from the road, a burly man with dark skin and a rough and bold appearance was laughing sinisterly.
Not far away from him, a young girl was lying on the ground, looking at the burly man with fear.
Many parts of the young girl's clothes were torn, revealing her proud figure.
Her body was trembling in fear.
"Scream! The louder you shout, the more I, Sheng Qi, like it!”
Sheng Qi had many scars on his face and body, as well as a dozen tattoos.
His eyes were filled with fiendish light, like a ghost from hell.
"This is really something that you can find without any effort.”
Lu Xuan could not help but smile.
"Originally, after Sheng Qi escaped, he would immediately find a place to hide. If that was really the case, it would really be difficult to find him.”
"I didn't expect that he would dare to commit murder on a young girl in public. He's really audacious!”
Lu Xuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Sheng Qi.
His gaze was fixed on Sheng Qi, but from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the young girl who had fallen to the ground.
"Eh…she's actually so good-looking?”
