The Yue Shen felt a pang of loss; she had gained her freedom, yet she somehow felt uneasy.
The Yue Shen couldn't help but look at her legs, which Xiao Tian had been using as a pillow. Her eyes were glazed over, and she vaguely saw a head. As the head turned, a Nightmare face was revealed, and the Yue Shen almost screamed, her heart filled with extreme fear.
"Don't think too much, we must leave Xinzheng City, leave Han State."
The next day, it was broad daylight.
The General's Mansion.
"General, the target we've been watching has been spotted."
Ji Wuye stared at Mo Ya, put down his wine cup, and asked, "Did you bring anyone out?"
"General, no, on the contrary, the target was following Commander Xiao around like a bodyguard while they were shopping," Mo Ya said with a strange expression.
shop?
Upon hearing Ji Wuye nearly had a brain fart and was completely stunned.
"Are you sure? She was shopping with Commander Xiao Tian from the palace?"
"General, you are right, and the target has immense respect for Commander Xiao."
Ji Wuye nearly vomited blood, unable to contain his anger as he exclaimed, "Those Yin-Yang School! They've repeatedly toyed with this general!"
"Pass down the order: if any members of the Yin-Yang School are found in Xinzheng City, arrest them immediately!"
Ji Wuye's eyes blazed with fury. Although he was wary of the Yin-Yang School, did Yin-Yang School really think he Ji Wuye, was an easy target?
" The Yin-Yang School?!" Mo Ya was shocked. The target was actually a powerful member of the Yin-Yang School. No wonder he was so apprehensive and dared not get too close, even feeling that he had been discovered.
"Yes, General! Then what about the target?"
"If you get the chance, capture them! Send out Hundred Birds! Remember, be extremely wary of the Yin-Yang School's methods! Since they like to play dirty Yin-Yang School, we'll play dirty tricks too! Living is best, but corpses will do!"
"Yes!"
On a narrow path through the water town, Wei Zhuang stood on a stone bridge, his eyes closed in deep thought for a long time.
"Boss Wei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Tang Qi, the Seven Absolutes Hall, arrived, looking energetic and radiant, with a bit of vegetable left on his lips.
"Boss Wei, the Hundred Birds have been mobilized, but we don't know who their target is. However, Purple Orchid Pavilion must be on guard."
" Nightfall, Hundred Birds." Wei Zhuang slightly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within.
"Also, Boss Wei, I have good news. The matter you entrusted to us has been followed up." Tang Qi handed Wei Zhuang an old-fashioned yellow book.
Wei Zhuang opened the yellowed notebook, read a few pages, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
" The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon."
Seven countries, seven secrets, seven treasures.
"If one masters the ultimate secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, one can control the heavens with a single hand and easily obtain the world... How truly intriguing."
Wei Zhuang closed the yellow-covered book, stared at Tang Qi, and said, "So, the Han State also has a secret."
Tang Qi nodded and said, "Boss Wei, this secret is probably only known to the royal family."
"No wonder Ji Wuye hasn't overthrown the royal family all these years; perhaps this is the reason." Wei Zhuang thought of the Huo Yu Treasure, which, according to Han Fei's speculation and the information he had, also seemed to involve the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
"I'll waive your protection fees for six months."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi's face lit up with joy, "Thank you so much, Boss Wei!"
At this moment, Xiao Tian, who was shopping, sensed a large number of informants, ten times the number he had seen before.
The Da Siming's lips moved slightly as she transmitted her voice telepathically. "My lord, we're being watched."
"It's alright." Xiao Tian put down the rattle drum on the stall, put his hands behind his back, and headed towards a less crowded area.
A moment later, in the slums of the west side of the city.
"Commander Xiao, please retreat and do not hinder our pursuit of the suspicious thief!" A city guard force of more than 300 men arrived first and surrounded Xiao Tian and Da Siming. Of course, there was also Yan Lingji, who was lurking in the void, in the shadows.
Xiao Heavenly Eye around and saw some people dressed in feathered, bird-like clothing appearing on the buildings in the slums.
" Hundred Birds of the Nightfall?"
Xiao Tian withdrew his gaze, stared at the deputy commander of the city guards, and grinned, "Then tell me, what crime have my subordinates committed?"
"A family of seven in the east of the city died under mysterious circumstances. An eyewitness identified the woman as the one who accompanied Commander Xiao. Commander Xiao would be better off avoiding trouble."
Xiao Tian was secretly amused. What was Ji Wuye up to, actually provoking the Yin-Yang School?
Xiao Tian and Da Siming exchanged glances, and Da Siming indicated that he had not antagonized Ji Wuye.
Xiao Tian was very puzzled.
"Get out of here, all of you. Let me tell you General Ji, my subordinates are not to be framed by him."
"Commander Xiao, then I'll have to offend you!" The deputy commander's eyes flashed with a cold light.
In an instant, more than 300 city guards formed an orderly and swift charge, encircling and annihilating the enemy from all sides.
Meanwhile, on other rooftops, members of the Hundred Birds Organization spread out a large black net and flew in from all directions.
As the large black net was unfurled, it covered an area of over 200 square meters.
Through his Tensei Jōgan and Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, Xiao Tian discerned that there was some material smeared on the black net, which explained why the members of the Hundred Birds Organization were wearing gas masks.
Clearly, they didn't care about accidentally injuring friendly forces.
In Xiao Heavenly Eye, the material smeared on the black net was being swept down by the wind, and some of the city guards were already showing symptoms of swaying and dizziness.
"My lord, the situation is dire." The Da Siming frowned.
"Although this net is of exceptional quality, difficult to damage with ordinary swords, and possesses the power to anesthetize nerves, causing vagus nerve dysfunction and respiratory shock, it's a pity they should have sent me away."
"Why?" As a large number of city guards fell unconscious, the deputy commander shook his head, swayed precariously, and finally collapsed as well.
As the black net descended, countless Hidden Weapon rained down from all directions. With the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan slowing down time around him, Xiao Tian discovered several possible escape points, but there was no need for them.
Golden dragon-shaped flames emerged from his palm, and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame condensed into a golden greatsword in Xiao Tian's hand.
As the golden sword rapidly grew larger and thicker, it ignited the black net with a hiss, causing the material on the net to burst into flames and resulting in a dust explosion.
boom!
Twenty or thirty members of the Hundred Birds Organization were instantly engulfed, unable to even scream, and were reduced to charred shells. The terrifying explosion and flames swept in all directions, and even the unconscious city guards on the ground could not escape.
"This..." Mo Ya, Bai Feng, and the others were a little dumbfounded.
"Is this considered courting death?" Mo Ya's lips twitched.
"Now, finding the body will be a problem."
The entire Xinzheng City was shaken by the explosion, leaving countless people terrified and bewildered.
The Da Siming was shocked. The Donghuang Taiyi was too powerful. The golden barrier that was visible to the naked eye blocked the terrifying explosion of light and flames.
"They're dead, aren't they?" Mo Ya, Bai Feng, and the others waited for the aftershocks of the explosion to subside.
A minute or two later, the smoke gradually dissipated, and Mo Ya and the others' expressions changed drastically. They saw a man and a woman inside the golden light barrier, completely unharmed and dressed neatly.
