My apologies, I was delayed by some matters. The sixth chapter might be late, or I might have to push it to tomorrow!
Xianyang City, in front of the Imperial Clan Court!
Dressed in armor forged from Deep Sea Xuan Iron and wielding sabers forged from celestial stone, the ten thousand well-equipped soldiers of the City Guard appeared in front of the palace of the Imperial Clan Court.
Then, under the command of their respective commanders, the ten thousand well-equipped soldiers formed a 'zigzag' formation to protect the Imperial Clan Court.
At the head of the 'zigzag' formation stood a commander wearing silver-white armor forged from starlight stone. He was a peak ninth-grade Martial Saint.
In the air above the Imperial Clan Court:
Emperor Qin's expression darkened when he saw that the city guards he had painstakingly raised to protect the imperial capital could be so easily mobilized by the Imperial Clan Court.
"Your Imperial Majesty, fifteen years ago, I told you not to give the imperial clan too much power. Otherwise, with their wild ambitions, they will cause trouble sooner or later."
Meng Zhengkai, who had also noticed the ten thousand city guards in front of the Imperial Clan Court, complained to Emperor Qin with great dissatisfaction.
"Now, Your Imperial Majesty has seen it!"
His dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that many of the city guards in front of the Imperial Clan Court were members of the Meng Clan.
And with Yu Haoran's lawless personality and unfathomable strength and methods, not many of the ten thousand elite soldiers in front of the Imperial Clan Court would remain!
"When We first ascended to the throne, We were only able to quickly take control of the court and suppress the rebellion in the army because of the Empress Dowager's assistance."
In the face of Meng Zhengkai's complaints, Emperor Qin was not angered. Instead, he began to recall the events after his ascension.
"Thus, We were grateful to the Empress Dowager and did not wish to go against her wishes."
At this point, Emperor Qin's tone gradually grew heavier.
"But We never imagined that some people would take advantage of Our respect for the Empress Dowager to commit such treacherous acts.
"It seems that if we want to resist foreign aggression, we must first pacify our internal affairs!"
Meng Zhengkai nodded in agreement with Emperor Qin's decision to punish the Imperial Clan, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he focused on Yu Haoran, who had already arrived in front of the Imperial Clan Court.
"Brother Yu, things are a little troublesome!" Zhai Xing couldn't help but frown as he looked at the ten thousand elite soldiers in front of the Imperial Clan Court.
Although most of the 10,000 elite soldiers in front of him were only Martial Kings and Martial Emperors, and were far from being comparable to the Martial Sage puppets in the military camp in Mizang Cemetery, they were different from the puppets that were refined using the debris of the stars. They were all living people.
Moreover, it was a group of people with deep backgrounds.
If all ten thousand elite soldiers were killed by the five of them, not only would it create a boundless sin, it would also offend countless generals of the Emperor Qin Kingdom, as well as many aristocratic families.
For a rogue cultivator like him, this was definitely a disaster that would bring him endless trouble!
"Brother Feng, there is no need for you to deal with 10,000 elite soldiers."
Hearing the fear in Zhai Xing's tone, Yu Haoran knew what he was worried about.
Therefore, after guaranteeing that there was no need to deal with the elite soldiers, he pointed at the commander in silver armor standing at the front of the formation.
"You just need to kill that commander for me in the shortest time possible."
In fact, even if Zhai Xing didn't take the initiative to express his fear of killing 10,000 elite soldiers, Yu Haoran wouldn't have let them do it.
This was because he knew the real reason why Qin Baijun had arranged for these elite soldiers, who were only Martial Kings and Martial Emperors, to guard the Imperial Clan Court.
It was nothing more than the hope that when they faced the elite soldiers guarding the Imperial Clan Court, they would be able to kill without restraint.
That way, they would be able to arouse the strong disgust of Emperor Qin and prevent him from interfering in the upcoming life-and-death battle. At the same time, they would also provoke the aristocratic families behind the elite soldiers.
After hearing Yu Haoran's orders, Zhai Xing secretly sighed in relief. At the same time, he didn't want Yu Haoran to mistakenly think that he was afraid of Emperor Qin's imperial might and wanted to retreat.
Therefore, Zhai Xing spoke confidently as he stared at the commander in front of the formation.
"Although this armor is made of starlight stone and its defensive strength is equivalent to a high-grade emperor defensive artifact, it relies on the power of starfall laws to increase its speed and attack power."
"Ten seconds!"
"I only need ten seconds to chop off this person's head."
Yu Haoran nodded at Zhai Xing's confident reply. Then, he rose into the air and took out thirty-six black and white chess pieces from his storage ring.
Then, he tossed the chess pieces into the air above the 10,000 elite soldiers and formed a seal with his ten fingers. "Formation!"
Following the seal and his command, the chess pieces instantly transformed into soldier puppets at the peak of first-grade Martial Saint.
"This, this, this is the long-lost secret technique of casting beans into soldiers!"
After seeing the thirty-six black and white chess pieces transform into soldier puppets, Prince Yi Feng, who was fond of traveling and collecting mementos from different eras, cried out in astonishment.
After hearing Prince Yi Feng shout out the technique Yu Haoran had just used, Emperor Qin and Meng Zhengkai immediately looked at each other and discovered that their eyes were filled with the desire to possess the technique.
As a secret curse technique that shook the ancient, middle, and late ancient times, although no one present had seen it before, they had all heard of this heaven-defying secret technique that was most suitable for the battlefield.
If they could obtain the secret curse technique of casting beans into soldiers from Yu Haoran's hands, then it would be an unimaginable heaven-defying aid to the ongoing battle.
However, when he thought of how he had stood by outside the Qingyuan Hall without doing anything, the fire in Emperor Qin's eyes immediately subsided.
After the 36 black and white chess pieces were all transformed into soldier puppets, Yu Haoran took a deep breath and immediately integrated the 36 Heavenly Dipper Array, which was famous during the Middle Ages, into the energy source of the soldier puppets by marking them with his Divine Sense.
According to the formation that had been fused with the energy source, the thirty-six soldier puppets at the peak of first-grade Martial Saint fell into different square formations of the elite soldiers with their powerful cultivation.
Then, the experts in the air and the spectators outside the Imperial Clan Court were shocked and puzzled to discover that the 10,000 elite soldiers who had been waiting in formation all had confused expressions on their faces.
Then, some of the hot-tempered elite soldiers began to kill and roar on the spot, as if there was an enemy attacking them in front of them.
As time passed, more and more of the elite soldiers began to become irritable.
However, there was something that made everyone even more puzzled.
Whether it was the elite soldiers of the Martial King Realm or the generals of the Martial Saint Realm.
Regardless of whether they swung their sabers or used profound martial techniques, their feet did not leave the ground, nor did they use the slightest bit of soul power or yuan qi.
