However, in front of the creatures of the Common People's Realm, he did not dare show the slightest bit of emotion.
No matter how angry he was, his face was filled with fear. "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
He crawled up and apologized to the Saint Maiden.
"What are you blabbering about? Hurry up and tell me! " The Saint Maiden was overjoyed. She had kicked the Triple Crown Emperor alive, and the other party had no choice but to beg for mercy.
Manager Zhang hurriedly knelt in front of the city general. "Reporting to the general, I was chopping firewood in the valley half a day ago. I did see a man in purple and a man in blue flying overhead."
"You saw it too?" the city general asked Wang Ying.
Wang Ying hated the Baiyue Sect Leader to the core, but on the surface he nodded hurriedly. "Yes, I saw it too. They were very powerful. In the blink of an eye, they flew toward the Imperial City and disappeared."
Hearing this, the city general became serious.
"Not good! Those two people are probably disguised as our people, trying to sneak into the Imperial City! "The city general immediately urged his horse forward." Quick! Return to the Imperial City and report to the imperial family. There are unknown people sneaking in... "
After a slight pause, the city general said, "Bring the four of them here as well. Point out the two suspicious people at any time."
"Yes!"
Hence, Su Yu and the other three were shoved into a military carriage by the patrolling soldiers. The carriage sped toward the Imperial City.
When there were only the four of them in the carriage, Manager Zhang and Wang Ying, who were filled with fear and trepidation, stared at Su Yu and the Saint Maiden unkindly.
Su Yu smiled apologetically. "The two of you, please do not hurt our friendship. That was just a temporary measure. I hope the two of you can look at the bigger picture and not take it to heart."
The Saint Maiden smiled sweetly. "Elder Zhang, I am sorry. I had no other choice. I had no other choice!"
No other choice? Was he taking the opportunity to take revenge?
Under those circumstances, a scolding would have sufficed. Kicking him to the ground was completely unnecessary.
Wang Ying stared at the Baiyue Sect Leader. He did not understand how he had offended the Baiyue Sect Leader.
"Humph! There will be no next time! "Manager Zhang grunted, swallowing his anger.
The Saint Maiden smiled lightly.
After two days of travel, they finally arrived at the camp outside the Imperial City.
The invasions of foreign enemies in the past few days made the royal family extremely nervous.
In particular, the last time they forced their way into the Imperial Palace, it gave the Imperial Family a false alarm. They mobilized a large army to guard the Imperial City and the surroundings of the Imperial Palace.
If any outsiders were to barge in, the will of the people gathered by the army of a hundred thousand would be enough to kill them all in a short period of time instead of blocking them outside.
Seeing such a lineup, Bank Manager Zhang and the others gasped and became even more cautious.
If they were seen through, they would have no chance of escaping.
The city general rode his horse into the barracks and went alone to report. Not long after, all the soldiers and horses in the barracks were mobilized to seal off the gates of the Imperial City and interrogate everyone who entered and left.
Not long after, the city general returned and hurriedly said, "The four of you, follow the army to each city gate and are responsible for pointing out suspicious people."
The Imperial City had four gates: North, South, East, and West. Each of them had a gate.
Su Yu and the others shuddered slightly. Should they disperse?
This was good as well. Whoever could enter the palace first and obtain the item would earn a merit.
Su Yu was assigned to the Southern City.
Compared to the other three city gates, the Southern City had always been remote. There were very few people coming and going, so he was happy to be at ease.
He was patient and cooperated with the soldiers guarding the gate to point out the people coming and going.
"Sigh, I really don't know what those foreign immortals are thinking. They just had to barge into our place. What do we have that is worth them snatching?"
"The most hateful thing is that they are killing the innocent, right? They just came in and used the spells of the immortals without hesitation, killing and injuring many. They do not regard our lives as valuable at all! If not for this, we could still have a good talk with them. But now, humph, it looks like those immortals are very afraid of us. As long as we are not willing, they will be blocked outside and even killed! "
Hearing this, Su Yu secretly sighed.
He was also curious as to why the living beings of the Common People's Realm would reject them.
The two sides had never crossed paths before. Perhaps it was more out of curiosity?
It turned out that the first batch that entered did not regard the living beings of this place as anything. They thought that it was like the outside world, where the living beings were like grass and could be killed at any time.
In the end, they had killed their way into big trouble!
"A bunch of incompetent fellows!" Su Yu was secretly annoyed.
"Sigh, Mister Lian, do you really know the immortal who barged in?"
Su Yu hurriedly said, "I have indeed seen him."
The soldier who asked the question smiled. "It would be great if you could point him out. Our Emperor is very interested in the immortals. The bodies of the two immortals he killed were sent to the depths of the palace for research. However, His Majesty sighed and said that it would be great if he could catch one alive for research."
Su Yu was stunned. "Why would he research the immortals?"
"His Majesty is very curious about the legendary immortal's ability to bring the dead back to life. He hopes to catch one alive and dissect it on the spot."
This …
Su Yu's mouth was slightly bitter. His Majesty sounded a little dangerous!
At this moment, a handsome horse, followed by many strangely dressed imperial guards, arrived in a mighty manner.
When the soldiers at the gate saw this, they all got rid of their laziness and stood up straight.
"Is Lian Qing here?" A fair-skinned woman dressed as a man sat steadily on the handsome horse and lightly shouted.
Su Yu stood up. "I am here."
"Pass on His Majesty's orders. Enter the palace immediately to see him!"
Su Yu was slightly startled, and said, "I need to identify …"
"No need!" The woman waved her hand. "His Majesty has already caught one and summons you to the palace to identify him!"
Caught one? Who?
Could it be that someone else had tried to barge into the palace in the past two days and failed?
With Fu Bingyu and the Sword Alliance Master's cautiousness, they would not do something so foolish.
Could it be that someone else had barged in?
But Su Yu had no other choice. As a citizen of the Common People's Realm, he could only obey the Emperor's orders.
Amidst the envy of many soldiers, Su Yu rode the palace's white horse and entered the palace.
Su Yu was brought to the palace's Chengde Hall.
The hall was empty. There was only an 18-year-old palace maid standing quietly in the hall, ready to serve the guests.
Su Yu entered, smelling the fragrance of the incense burner as he waited quietly.
Ding —
The palace maid served a cup of hot tea. "Mister Lian, please enjoy."
"How do you know my surname?" Su Yu looked at her in surprise.
Nervousness flashed across the palace maid's pretty face. She said weakly, "I heard it from Eunuch Chen."
Eunuch Chen … was he the one who summoned Su Yu into the palace?
"Oh." Su Yu paused. "What did the Celestial Being that Your Majesty mentioned look like?"
The palace maid's eyes lit up. "I heard that it was a middle-aged Celestial Being with a red face and a big belly. He tried to sneak in but was discovered by the imperial guards …"
As she was speaking, a group of people walked into the hall.
The first was a woman in her twenties dressed in a yellow robe. She was extremely beautiful. Most importantly, the crown on her head was the symbol of the monarch.
The Empress? And so young?
No matter how one looked at her, she was only in her twenties.
But thinking about it carefully, the members of the royal family had always been immortal. She looked like she was twenty, but her actual age was unknown.
"How dare you leak secrets. Guards, drag her out and behead her!" The Empress stared coldly at the palace maid, showing no mercy.
The palace maid was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. She kowtowed repeatedly. "Spare me, Empress! Please spare me! I won't do it again! "
However, the Empress's eyes were indifferent. She didn't care about the little palace maid at all.
Two imperial guards with imposing auras strode forward, grabbed him, and dragged him out.
The palace maid's face was pale. She was desperate as if doomsday had come. She could only beg.
Seeing this, Su Yu struggled a little and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. If you want to blame someone, blame me for asking too much. It really has nothing to do with this palace maid."
The Empress looked over, and her eyes flashed with coldness. "How dare you obstruct my orders? Believe it or not, I will drag you out and behead you too! "
At this moment, if Su Yu angered the Empress even a little, it would be difficult for him to get away with it.
However, the palace maid had indeed been implicated because of Su Yu.
Watching her being executed was not in line with Su Yu's principles.
Therefore, he argued. "Your Majesty, everything has its consequences. If Your Majesty insists on killing the innocent, how can a Majesty like you convince the people of the world?"
The Empress's eyes were sharp and cold. "You dare disobey me?"
"No, I just don't want to implicate the innocent!"
The Empress stared coldly at Su Yu for a long time. She flicked her sleeves and turned around. "Humph! Seeing that you are still of some use, I will spare you this time! "
She waved her hand, and the palace maid was lucky enough to escape.
"Follow me." The Empress did not even look back as she walked out of the hall.
Su Yu followed. When he passed by the palace maid who was paralyzed with fear, he helped her up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
The palace maid wiped her tears and said gratefully, "Mister Lian, why do you have to offend the Emperor for a lowly servant like me?"
Su Yu said indifferently, "There is no distinction between the noble and the lowly. Moreover, I was the one who harmed you, so I naturally have to take responsibility! Don't worry. "
As he spoke, he got up and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the palace maid pulled him back and took out a handkerchief with delicate handwriting. She blushed. "Mister Lian saved me today, and I cannot repay you. This is my personal handkerchief as a token of my sincerity. I hope Mister Lian will accept it."
This … Su Yu was startled. He had captured the heart of a young girl with a few casual words?
Wasn't the woman here too straightforward?
He did not know whether to reject it or accept it. In an awkward moment, he braced himself and accepted it. "Take care," he said.
He casually put the handkerchief into his chest pocket and hurriedly followed the Empress.
Anyway, he would never have the chance to meet the palace maid again, so he might as well accept it.
Under the guidance of the Empress and the imperial guards, they came to a dark hall.
Even through the doors and windows, they could smell the strong smell of blood.
It was the smell of divine blood!
As expected, someone had been captured!
"Say, why do you think the deities can live forever?" The Empress walked in front and suddenly turned her head to ask Su Yu thoughtfully.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "The Empress has an immortal body, I dare not speak nonsense."
The Empress did not say a word. She came to the front of the hall, and with a gentle push of her slender jade-like palm, the door of the hall was slowly pushed open. Her lips curled into a cold smile, and she said slowly, "Mister Lian, there is something I forgot to tell you. In fact, it was not just one deity who was captured, but … three!"
Three?
