The Imperial City.
Wei Wei Manor.
Yan Qing said with a solemn expression," Recently, there have been raiders wreaking havoc outside the Imperial City, robbing and killing the people of the Imperial City. This has caused panic. Does General Zhao have any way to deal with them?”
The Left General of the Imperial City Guards, Zhao Qi, also frowned and reminded," Don't you think that this matter is strange, Lord Yan?”
Yan Qing's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
Zhao Qi continued," The Imperial City is guarded by the Imperial Preceptor. The experts of the other sects don't dare to act presumptuously, let alone the raiders. Now that these raiders are so rampant that they're robbing the imperial city, I'm afraid that there's something behind this!”
"Moreover, each family has held back their anger and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. Lord Yan must be aware of their schemes.”
……
When Yan Qing heard that, he clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked!
His eyes were burning with rage.
"This group of damned bastards, for the sake of a small profit, they even have ideas about the Imperial City!”
"Don't they know that once the Imperial City loses its dignity, their good days will come to an end!”
"Damn it!"
Yan Qing was furious.
It was difficult to vent the anger in his heart.
Zhao Qi also sighed bitterly." Although I have 10,000 guards, if I act without orders, Grand Marshal Chen will definitely make things difficult for me. He will take the opportunity to seize my military power.”
These 10,000 guards could be considered a portion of the military strength that the royal family could mobilize!
If all of this was taken away.
Then the royalists would be even more passive!
Yan Qing also understood this point.
"In addition, there are cultivators from the various sects among the raiders. Even if we mobilize the 10,000 guards, we probably won't be able to gain any advantage.”
Zhao Qi's words were shocking!
Yan Qing was shocked.
The cultivators of the sects were also participating!
"Forget it! Since the cultivators of the sect are all involved, let's wait for news from Lord Wang Zhan. We just need to protect the Imperial Palace and not disturb His Majesty!”
Yan Qing sighed helplessly, looking rather dejected!
Once the word 'sect' was involved, they could not afford to offend them!
It made one feel deeply powerless!
" This huge empire has no one to use. It's slowly…"
……
Yan Qing's eyes were filled with desolation.
With the empire in such a predicament, other than heartache, he could only watch helplessly.
He wanted to do something to change the situation!
But…
He was too insignificant!
That sense of powerlessness made him depressed and filled with sorrow and hatred!
"Lord Yan!" Zhao Qi smiled bitterly. I am a citizen of Great Qin and have received the favor of the royal family. I am prepared to die at any time, and I believe you are the same.”
Yan Qing sighed silently.
Looking up at the layers of dark clouds in the sky outside the hall, who had the ability to clean them up?
Your Majesty!
We are really powerless!
……
Outside the Imperial City.
The mountains meet the plains.
The bandits did not dare to move on the plains, so they could only hide in the Yang Mountain on the west side!
Yang Mountain and Shouyang County.
If the Imperial City's army attacked, they could retreat along the Yang Mountain and were not worried at all.
Yang Mountain, Fenghe Stronghold.
"This Imperial City is really f * cking rich. Just snatching a few people is enough for us to eat for several years!”
In a spacious room.
He saw a fierce bald man with his feet on the chair. He picked up the wine and took a big gulp. The wine came out of the corner of his mouth and spilled all over the ground.
Around them were seven or eight burly men, either standing or sitting.
Holding a hammer and carrying a knife!
The blood on the back of the saber had yet to dry, and many people had been killed!
"I don't know which lord is supporting us from behind this time. It seems that his status isn't simple!”
"Leader! It's very dangerous for the Imperial Advisor to be in charge of the dynasty. Why don't we take the opportunity to do a few more jobs and leave quickly? The waters of the Imperial City are very deep.”
Some were happy, while others were worried!
The bald man slammed the bowl on the table and waited for the bandits in front of him. He sneered and said," Are you stupid?!" Could it be that the lord did not know of the existence of the state preceptor? Since he dared to ask us to do this, it must be related. Perhaps that lord was the state preceptor himself!”
"If they exterminate us, how can they ask the emperor for money?”
……
"Chief, I'm just worried that I'll kill the donkey when I'm done!”
a bandit reminded.
Hearing this, the bald man began to think. He was not stupid and understood these principles.
"If everyone is worried about killing the donkey when it's done grinding, there's no need at all!”
A soft laugh rang out from outside.
Soon after, four young men in gorgeous clothes entered.
He had an imposing appearance.
One look and you could tell that he was an extraordinary person!
The invisible pressure caused the air to freeze!
"Greetings, Immortal Master!"
Seeing the four of them, even the bald man, who was burly and had the strength of a martial artist, was instantly suppressed to be extremely respectful!
This was because these four people were all cultivation experts.
Although he couldn't tell which sect they were from, he knew that they weren't simple, so he didn't dare to offend them.
Moreover, he dared to rob the Imperial City because he relied on them!
"Wind and Stronghold is only responsible for taking action. When the time is right, I will inform you to leave. In the future, if there is still a need for you, I will not make things difficult for you.”
The purple-clad young man in the lead laughed." As long as you're obedient, you'll get what you deserve!”
"With Immortal Master's words, I can rest assured!”
The bald man smiled, but he had a plan in mind.
Cultivators were so heartless!
How could those who roamed the martial world not have seen it before?
"You guys should move around more these few days and exert some pressure!”
the purple-clad young man reminded.
Only by making the Imperial City uneasy could the Emperor be forced to pay for the military expenses.
The bald man said," I've already sent people to the city to investigate the situation. When he returns, we'll make our move. We definitely won't disappoint the immortal master.”
"That's good! It was just that the emperor was pitiful. Even though he was in charge of the world and had high authority, he was still played in the palm of his hand!”
Beside the purple-clad young man was a handsome man wearing a silver crown.
He liked this feeling.
He could easily toy with the emperor of an empire.
It was as if they had played a fool of the entire Great Qin Empire.
The bald man and the other bandits didn't say much because this was the power of the immortal cultivators and the sect. The emperor was just a tool!
This empire was finished!
"Leader!"
Not long after.
A voice came from outside.
"I'm back!"
The bald man turned to look outside.
A man with a sharp mouth and ape-like cheeks walked in quickly. When he saw the four young men, he bowed respectfully.
"How's the situation?"
the bald man asked.
"There's no movement in the Imperial City! There was no mobilization of the army. It should be that the emperor had not issued a decree yet. It was estimated that the decision would be made tomorrow morning.”
……
"Then I'll urge him today!"
The man with the silver crown had a cold expression as he said casually," Killing more people should be able to attract their attention!”
The bald man's eyes turned red when he heard that someone was going to kill him.
He had killed too many people and was addicted to killing. Human lives were cheaper than grass to him. Money, resources, and women were the most important.
However…
However, they did not notice that the light outside the door had become abnormally bright.
Suddenly.
Puchi!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the heart rang out. A bloody sword tip suddenly drilled out of the chest of a tough bandit who was carrying a saber and pierced through his heart.
The sudden turn of events, right in the middle of the electric sparks, stunned everyone!
He did not understand the situation at all.
They all turned to the back of the bandit.
A shadow was flickering.
"Not good!"
The purple-clad young man's expression changed drastically. He was the first to react. He threw out a wave of energy from his sleeve toward the shadow. The powerful cultivation of the third level of the foundation establishment realm tore the table into pieces.
He rushed out of the room at high speed.
However…
He had only taken one step.
The light at the door continued to condense, as if it had run in and quickly filled his pupils.
The moment he reacted.
His legs were instantly cut off.
She fell on the threshold.
" Ah!" The purple-clad young man let out a miserable cry.
The silver-crowned youth and the other two were also in disbelief as they quickly retreated.
However, the shadows behind them followed closely behind. Sword lights flashed out from the shadows behind them, and one of their feet was cut off as well, causing them to roll on the ground!
"What the hell is this thing?”
The bald man was dumbfounded!
There were so many killers hiding in such a big house, but he didn't even notice them.
It was as if he had encountered a ghost!
No, it was like a shadow, without a trace, appearing and disappearing like a ghost!
He seized the opportunity and prepared to escape from a corner.
However…
In a dark corner, a shadow flashed out. The sword pierced through the bald man's throat and nailed him to the ground.
This time.
The bald man's pupils constricted. He finally saw it clearly!
That's right, it was a shadow.
A shadow that was one with the darkness and could hide in the light, this…!
Puchi!
Puchi!
A one-sided massacre in the house.
In just a dozen breaths, the bandits were slaughtered in an instant without any strength to fight back!
"Ah…!"
The silver-crowned youth and the others who were not slaughtered screamed and looked back at the room in horror!
Eight figures stood tall!
It was real yet illusory!
" Who are you?" One of the light and shadow attribute soldiers stepped forward and stared at the purple-clad young man as he said coldly," Tell me your identities and who instructed you to do it?"”
The purple-clad young man's face twisted in pain, and his severed legs bled nonstop.
He was terrified.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
These 'people' were too strange and terrifying. Not only could they hide in shadows, but they could also hide in light. This had already subverted his understanding!
Faced with such an unbelievable method, even if he was in the Foundation Establishment realm and was an immortal in the eyes of the secular world, he would still be crushed like an ant!
"We are disciples of the Taiji Sect. Please spare our lives!”
The purple-clad young man saw the difference in strength with a single glance!
He could not move at all.
Because he didn't even know how many of these 'ghosts' existed!
"Who instructed you to do this? Who was the person you contacted in the Imperial City?”
The light and shadow attribute soldier was interrogated.
"It's Grand Servant Yu and the people from the Imperial Preceptor's Residence! Spare my life!"
The purple-clad young man begged for mercy.
The light and shadow soldier ignored them. After receiving the message, he instructed the two of them," The two of you cut them into pieces. The rest of you continue to clean up the bandits. His Majesty's order is to cut them all into pieces!”
" Your Majesty…!!"
The purple-clad young man's pupils constricted when he heard that.
The one from Great Qin?
Were these terrifying spirits sent by him?!
The six light and light-attribute soldiers left the room and fused with the light. The purple-clad young man and the others were stunned.
"No, ah…"
"Ahhh…"
"Give me a quick death!"
" I'm a disciple of the Taiji Sect. No…Ah!"
All of a sudden, miserable and desperate screams sounded in the room. It was heart-wrenching.
The young man with the silver crown grabbed the threshold with one hand and was about to climb out when five of his fingers were cut off by the sword. He let out a miserable scream and was no longer as calm as before.
Yangshan's miserable cry followed.
An hour later.
There was no living thing in Fenghe Stronghold.
Eight light and shadow attribute soldiers stood in front of the village gate, looking at the Imperial City.
Behind him.
Gu Lin was cut into a tree stump.
Seven to eight hundred bloody bandits were pierced through and skinned!
But none of them died.
He would only suffer a pain worse than death!
