In the brief moment Ye Zhen exchanged a sentence or two with Heavenly Patrol General Feng Jiumo, half of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters had rushed behind Gu Tieqi. Just as they were preparing to spread out and seal off the Ancient Teleportation Array, the merchants, martial artists, and passersby waiting nearby for the array surged forward in a swarm.
"After waiting so long, it's finally our turn!"
"We can finally get moving. Waiting has been utterly exhausting!" Amid the clamor, the crowd rushed over in a flood.
Gu Tieqi and the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters paid it no mind. With a wave of their hands, they spread out to meet the surging crowd, producing the Heavenly Patrol Division's distinctive command tokens.

"Careful!"
"Careful!"
Ye Zhen and Heavenly Patrol General Feng Jiumo shouted at the same time. Almost in that very instant, the expressions of those leading the surging crowd became incomparably savage.
With a flip of their palms, all manner of immensely powerful talismans rained down upon the more than twenty Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters blocking their way.

They had evaded it, but over a hundred people charged like lightning toward Ye Zhen and the others at the center of the Ancient Teleportation Array.
Heavenly Patrol General Feng Jiumo's expression changed. He roared, "Protect my lord!"
If Ye Zhen, the Wind Patrol Envoy, were assassinated right
