A Forceful Invitation

Pighead was rather pleased with this chapter!

The Sand-Hidden Spirit Fox—the Desert Fox Family was just like this. Their individual strength might not be all that formidable, but they came and went like ghosts; you could never fathom what trump cards they held!

There would be an update at dawn. Pighead was recovering his vitality, and October's updates would definitely be more frequent than September's!

Sha Xinyue ignored Ying Qin's words, following behind Lin Qi toward Guard City's gates as if she had heard nothing.

But a squad of Imperial Guards in golden armor immediately blocked their path, drawing their swords halfway in perfect unison. With a ringing clang, the guards' blades gleamed brilliantly beneath the sunlight. Ripple-like cloud patterns could be seen along their edges, along with feather-like lines running across the blades.

Between those watery cloud patterns and feather-like markings lay rune formations as fine as hairs. Without question, every one of those swords was a high-grade magical artifact. Each could cut through iron as though it were mud, and naturally, they were first-rate weapons for chopping off heads as well.

Lin Qi looked at Ying Qin in surprise. "Your Highness, may I ask which law we have violated to warrant this?"

Beside them, Xiong Qianjin laboriously raised his head and rasped, "You assaulted imperial kin! That is a capital crime!"

Lin Qi promptly shoved Xiong Wanjin forward. "Imperial kin beating up imperial kin—that's a dispute within your own family. What does it have to do with us?"

Yet Ying Qin did not even spare Xiong Qianjin a glance. Although Xiong Qianjin was the very person he had brought so many Imperial Guards to Guard City to receive, truthfully, he had never thought much of him.
