South City, the Imperial Guard barracks.
The once solemn, quiet barracks were now covered in signs of battle.
Many Imperial Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards lay dead in pools of blood. The casualties were devastating.
Even Yan Shisan, Cao Zhengchun, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, and the others had suffered injuries.
They stood waiting at the barracks gates, their faces grim.

Before long, hoofbeats sounded, and Yu Huatian arrived with his men.
Seeing the carnage, Yu Huatian frowned deeply, then walked straight up to Yan Shisan and the others. "What happened?"
Ma Jinliang's face was dark as he gritted his teeth. "Director, this was a trap. He already knew we were watching him. Just after you entered the palace, numerous experts suddenly appeared in the Imperial Guard barracks and attacked our men!"
"That man was immensely powerful, and his subordinates were highly skilled too. Especially a man and a woman among them-one wielded the Windward Flute, the other used the Rainbow Sash. They were the ones who wounded us!"
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "They sent Wei Zaode and those assassins into the palace to lure me away, then seized the chance to escape the Capital! It seems I underestimated them somewhat..."
Yan Shisan's face was rather pale, with blood still at the corner of his mouth. He said gravely, "That man's martial prowess was probably no less than Ye Gucheng's or Lei Hong's.

Yu Huatian nodded, unsurprised.
