Xianyang City, in front of the North City Gate.
"This …!" Facing Yu Haoran's question, Qin Fengqu was speechless and did not know how to answer.
"Who is on duty in the City Guard Army?"
Knowing that Qin Fengqu would not answer his question, Yu Haoran immediately looked at a middle-aged man in soft armor kneeling beside the city gate.
"Zhang Yihai greets the Prince Consort!" Seeing Yu Haoran looking at him, the middle-aged man in soft armor had to take the initiative to stand up and greet him.
"Lord Zhang, I ask you, what is the punishment for not greeting the Emperor?" Yu Haoran asked again, shaking the jade pendant in his hand at Zhang Yihai.
"According to the law, beheading!" Zhang Yihai secretly glanced at Qin Fengqu and found that he was clenching his hands and bowing his head in silence. He could not give him any hint, so Zhang Yihai could only answer truthfully.
"That's good!"
After hearing Zhang Yihai's answer, Yu Haoran nodded with satisfaction and then ordered loudly.
"Zhang Yihai, listen to my order!"
Zhang Yihai, who was startled by Yu Haoran's loud voice, responded subconsciously, "Yes, sir!"
"This lowly person offended his superiors and despised the Emperor. I order you to take him down and hand him over to me for investigation!" Yu Haoran ordered, pointing at the old man in plain clothes.
"This …!"
Facing Yu Haoran's order, Zhang Yihai was suddenly in a dilemma.
If he obeyed Yu Haoran's order and went forward to arrest the old man in plain clothes, not to mention himself, even if all the soldiers guarding the city gate in the North City were to attack together, they would not be able to withstand the old man in plain clothes.
If he did not obey Yu Haoran's order, it would be a violation of the Emperor's order. After that, Yu Haoran would report it to the Emperor. Not only would he be beheaded, but he was afraid that his family would be implicated.
Because according to the law of the Great Emperor Qin's Kingdom, those who violated the Emperor's order would be executed together with their whole family.
After much consideration, Zhang Yihai, who valued family ties, finally chose to listen to Yu Haoran's orders.
"Soldiers, take him down!" Zhang Yihai turned his head and called out to the dozens of soldiers at the city gate. He took the lead and charged towards the old man.
Seeing Zhang Yihai charging over, a cold glint flashed across the old man's eyes. He secretly activated the Law of Speed.
Then, everyone saw an incomparably shocked expression. Zhang Yihai, who had rushed less than three meters away, suddenly had a spin in his head, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang, dead.
The old man's body only swayed slightly.
Seeing the plain-clothed old man easily kill Zhang Yihai, not only did Yu Haoran's expression change, he subconsciously took a few steps back. Qin Fengqu, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly paled.
This was because he knew that the matter was completely out of control. If he didn't handle it properly, it would even implicate the Vice Minister's Residence.
"Insolent madman, Lord Zhang is still a pillar of our Emperor Qin's Kingdom. You dared to kill Lord Zhang on the street, which means you intend to become an enemy of our Great Emperor Qin's Kingdom. As a loyal subject of the Empire, how can I, Qin Fengqu, allow you to be so rampant?"
How could he prevent the Vice Minister's Residence from being implicated? The only way was to let the old man who killed Zhang Yihai escape.
As long as there was no conclusive evidence, no one could do anything to the Vice Minister's Residence, which was deeply entrenched in power.
Thus, Qin Fengqu righteously rebuked while bitterly pleading with his divine sense.
"Uncle Li, you've caused a great disaster. You might even implicate my father. Right now, you can only flee far away from Xianyang City and have my father think of a way to quell today's disaster.
"So, your nephew begs you. Quickly leave Xianyang City!"
Hearing Qin Fengqu's pleas, the old man couldn't help but frown. He then raised his head and glanced at Qin Fengqu.
Seeing the pleading look in Qin Fengqu's eyes, the old man softly sighed and decided to listen to his suggestion and temporarily leave Xianyang City.
However, when he saw Yu Haoran and Hei Xiong from the corner of his eye, a cold light flashed through his eyes.
Afterwards, he decided to kill Yu Haoran and Hei Xiong. After removing a great threat from the Vice Minister's Residence, he would leave Xianyang City.
Using the Law of Speed, the old man used almost instantaneous movement to appear in front of Yu Haoran. He planned to use the same method to snap Yu Haoran's neck.
But just as he raised his hands, a terrifying power that made him tremble surged out from Yu Haoran's body.
"You're courting death!" Yu Haoran's face instantly flushed red, and his voice was hoarse as he looked at the old farmer and roared with a ferocious expression.
Afterwards, he pointed at the old farmer and softly muttered, "Flourishing Curtain!"
As a strange energy shot out from Yu Haoran's finger, the old man discovered to his horror that his life force was flowing out of his control.
In the eyes of outsiders, the old man's silver hair was visibly turning white. In the blink of an eye, he had turned completely white.
What was even more frightening was that the old man's originally robust body was rapidly aging at an unimaginable speed.
"Yu Haoran, that's enough. If you continue to use the Law of Flourishing Curtain, that old man will die and your foundation will completely collapse." By the time the old man's sea of consciousness and dantian had shrunk to the point that he could no longer stand, the Thaling that had fused into Yu Haoran's body hurriedly reminded him.
Withdrawing his finger, the Thaling instantly left Yu Haoran's body and returned to the jade bed on the top floor of the Víctor Pavilion.
After instantly losing his massive amount of soul energy, Yu Haoran was just like the old man, unable to stand on his own.
Fortunately, the black bear had long since sensed that something was wrong with Yu Haoran and immediately supported him.
"You, you, how did you comprehend that kind of Law? How did you control that kind of Law?!" the old man asked in shock as he sat on the ground.
Facing the old man's shocked question, Yu Haoran's heart was also in a state of shock.
Actually, when he discovered that the old man had ignored the Great Qin Empire's laws and directly snapped Zhang Yihai's neck, Yu Haoran knew that the old man was still a fugitive.
No one could predict the actions of a fugitive!
As such, in order to avoid being ambushed by the old man using the Law of Speed, Yu Haoran took the risk of using the Possession Technique that the Thaling had mentioned before. He allowed the Thaling's soul to forcefully fuse into his body. Through this, he possessed one percent of the Thaling's strength, which was the cultivation of a peak seventh stage Martial Saint.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation and physical body's grade had increased rapidly recently, or perhaps it was because of the One Qi Into Three Purities cultivation technique that allowed his two clones to simultaneously withstand the power of the Possession Technique.
