"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
"Intrude! Intrude! "
The sound transmitted by the soul of Ming was no longer transmitted within a certain range, but began to reverberate above the entire Xuan Jun City.
Xuan Jun City was located in the northwest of Xuan Jun Empire, not far from the border of Qing Feng and Chang Feng Empires. No matter which country the war broke out, Xuan Jun City would easily become the frontline. But from another perspective, no matter which country the war broke out with, Xuan Jun Empire could also gather the strongest force in the shortest time possible and directly attack the root of the problem. Setting the capital here reflected the strong character of the Xuan Jun Empire.
So from the day the capital was changed, Xuan Jun City didn't think of peaceful days. This kind of sound that resounded throughout the city was developed and the whole city would often carry out drills on some special days. But this time, someone really triggered this city-wide alarm.
The civilians who had experienced many drills knew what to do at this time. No one was particularly panicked, but instead they were more curious. But no matter how curious they were, the moment the alarm sounded, everyone had already hidden in their houses and closed all the doors and windows. It was a bustling city, but in just a few minutes, it had become lifeless. Even the sky seemed to have darkened.
Black armored soldiers began to walk on the streets, the number of practitioners who flew or jumped on the roofs also increased. They all received their orders and began to carry out their respective tasks. Among them, the first to bear the brunt was naturally the Nine Gates Patrol Division who was in charge of the defense of Xuan Jun City.
The patrol division had already lost one point when someone broke into the city and triggered the city-wide alarm. When Nine Gates Commander Wei Ping received the report, he directly flipped the table.
"Which trash was directly broken into, ask him to bring his head to see me!" Wei Ping roared.
"It's … Nanjiang Estuary." The subordinate hesitated for a moment and didn't say the name of the commander in charge of this area, as if he knew that he didn't need to say it.
"Nanjiang Estuary …" Wei Ping was stunned when he heard this, he didn't seem to be as angry as before.
"Where's Wei Liang? Ask him to see me immediately. " Wei Ping said.
"Commander Wei Liang … has died in the line of duty." The subordinate replied.
"What?" Wei Ping was stunned. When he found out that the enemy broke in from the mouth of the Nanjiang River, the first thing he thought of was how to make up for his nephew's mistake. Who would have thought that there was no need for him to worry at all, this nephew of his had already made the best arrangements.
After a moment of silence, Wei Pingyi's expression was no longer as furious as before. Instead, it became as cold as winter.
"Raise the Nine Battalions. Chase down the intruders. Kill anyone who resists," Wei Pingyi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The subordinate accepted the order and immediately went to gather all the men of the patrol office. Wei Ping sat back down and muttered to himself for a moment before hurriedly walking out.
Wei Mansion.
As an illustrious family on the continent, the Wei Family had a large number of people. Naturally, it was impossible for the Wei Family to have a single bloodline. Naturally, it was the residence of the current head of the Wei clan, Wei Pingqian.
In Wei Pingqian's generation, there were four famous brothers in the Wei family: Wei Pingyi, Wei Pingshi, Wei Pingbai, and Wei Pingqian. They all held important positions in the Xuan Army Empire. Among the four brothers, Wei Pingyi was the eldest, while Wei Pingqian was the youngest. However, the current head of the Wei family just had to be the youngest. It was clear how top-notch Wei Pingqian's abilities and strength were.
The Wei Mansion had naturally received the news of the city-wide curfew. However, such matters would naturally be handled by the relevant departments. There was no need for a family like theirs to interfere. Wei Pingqian did not take it to heart. Only when a servant came over to say that Wei Pingyi had come did his expression change slightly.
"He still has time to come at this time?" Wei Pingqian was naturally surprised by this, but he did not ask much. In the blink of an eye, Wei Pingyi was already in front of him.
"What happened?" Wei Pingqian asked.
"The intruders forced their way in from the mouth of the Nanjiang River." Wei Pingyi said.
"Oh? Liang 'er's territory? What did he do? " Wei Pingqian frowned slightly. He was also dissatisfied with Wei Liang's dereliction of duty. Then he thought about how to reduce the responsibility. But if it was like this …
Wei Pingqian suddenly looked at Wei Pingyi. If it was just like this, Wei Pingyi was enough to handle it. Why would he need to personally come over to discuss it? The matter was not as simple as he thought. Wei Pingyi's ugly expression was sufficient to explain this.
"What happened?" Wei Pingqian asked.
"Liang 'er … died in the line of duty." Wei Pingyi seemed to use all his strength to finally say this. Wei Liang was his nephew, but they could not be considered close. But his younger brother in front of him, who carried the Tiger Tally that could mobilize one-third of the world's military, was Wei Liang's biological father, whose blood was thicker than water. Who in the residence didn't know his love for Wei Liang?
As expected, after Wei Pingyi tried his best to say this news, the room instantly became extremely quiet. A murderous intent spread out like cold air. A moment later, he heard Wei Pingqian ask coldly, "Who is it?"
"It has not been confirmed yet, but there should not be many people in the world who would dare to do this." Wei Pingyi said. On the way to the Wei Residence, he had already understood some of the specific situation at the southern mountain pass. The intruder had jumped directly onto the city wall from the boat on the river. The wall had been pierced through, and Wei Liang had been killed the moment he attacked. The entire process did not take more than three seconds.
He had charged directly into the capital of the Xuan Army Empire, causing the entire city to be put on lockdown.
He had been killed in one blow by a member of the Wei family.
With such courage and strength, who could it be?
After listening to Wei Pingyi's detailed explanation, Wei Pingqian fell into deep thought. He was not completely swayed by the grief of his son's death.
"Could it be that he is targeting the Wei family?" Wei Pingyi saw that Wei Pingqian's mood was still good for conversation and immediately asked.
"Probably not." Wei Pingqian shook his head. "This kind of action is practically targeting the entire Xuan Army."
"I will find out this person's identity and whereabouts as soon as possible." Wei Pingyi said.
"Mm, go do what you need to do." Wei Pingqian said as he stood up.
"Pingqian …" Wei Pingyi called out. In private, the brothers would not address each other by their official positions.
"I will go report the news of Liang 'er's death to the people behind me." Wei Pingqian's tone was extremely calm. There was almost no grief in his voice. As to the people behind him, they naturally referred to Wei Pingqian's family.
Wei Pingyi nodded and followed Wei Pingqian out of his study. Then, one went forward, the other went back. When he stepped out of the residence, Wei Pingyi's sensitive ears heard the sound of crying coming from the backyard.
This person had come for the Xuan Army Empire. But this grudge had landed on the head of the Wei family first. Wei Pingyi thought so and hurriedly left the Wei Residence. As the Nine Gates Inspector, he would be very busy.
But other than his Nine Gates Patrol Division, all the departments in Xuan Army City that had combat power were not idle at this time. Even the unrelated department, the Botanical Division, was in chaos — according to the news from the frontlines, the intruder's springboard into the city was the official ship of the Botanical Division. It was their ship that had brought this person over from an unknown place.
"Investigate, hurry and investigate!"
"Investigate his identity, investigate his tracks, find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
The orders given by all the departments were mostly the same. Just like what Wei Pingqian said, the act of barging into Xuan Army City was not a challenge to a family or a person, it was a challenge to the entire Xuan Army Empire. The Xuan Army City that was built here and claimed to guard the gates of the empire for its citizens was now being barged in by a single person. Where was the dignity of the Xuan Army? Everyone knew that the palace had not given any orders yet, but this matter had definitely reached the ears of the Xuan Emperor. Currently, the Protectorate Nation's movements were not too big. Once the Protectorate Nation started to attack, it would be the Xuan Emperor who gave the order personally. This would also show how useless they were.
How many soldiers were there in Xuan Army City? How many experts were there in each department? Currently, there was only one intruder. If they couldn't even deal with this, what was the point of keeping them?
"The intruder is confirmed to be in the direction of the West East Pier."
"Eyewitnesses at the West Pier said that the intruder was heading north along the coast."
"There are traces of intruders along the coast of the River East."
"Old Chen's Miscellaneous Shop has a discovery."
"Xu Ji Scissors Shop has a discovery."
"Rui Xiang Satin Shop has a discovery."
This fellow …
Continuous reports of the intruder's whereabouts were sent to all the departments like snowflakes. All the big shots who thought that they would have to dig three feet into the ground suddenly realized that this intruder did not hide or hide. He charged into the city, landed on the ground, and walked along the main road while causing casualties …
That's right, after the continuous reports of his whereabouts, there were continuous reports of casualties. The ordinary citizens were already under martial law, but the experts of each department were all contributing their strength. Among them, there were soldiers from the Nine Gates Patrol Department, and even a few outstanding students who ran out from the schools to help.
Most of them were cultivators with varying levels of cultivation. The only similarity was that they all ended up in a fight with the intruder.
Defeat!
All of them were defeated. As for whether they were injured or dead, it all depended on luck. The intruder did not seem to have the intention to kill them all.
And the identity of the intruder was finally confirmed after comparing the information from various sources.
