"The Fourth Princess is here to guard the mausoleum. Come quickly!"
Outside the carriage, Eunuch Liu shouted with a sharp voice.
Commander Yuan Fang, who was in charge of guarding the imperial mausoleum, had already received news that the princess was coming to guard the mausoleum. Thus, when he heard Eunuch Liu's commotion, he immediately led the soldiers over and knelt down in unison.
"Greetings, Your Royal Highness!"
The curtain was lifted, and Xia Wanan's exquisite face appeared in front of everyone. At first glance, everyone was so stunned that they almost suffocated.
After obtaining the Immortal Body of the Ancient God Emperor, Xia Wanan had changed greatly from the inside to the outside. Not only was her physique greatly enhanced, but her temperament was also extraordinary. She was as noble as a fairy.
"Rise."
She said lightly, looking at the magnificent Imperial Mausoleum in front of her.
Before this, she did not expect to receive such a great reward for checking in at the Imperial Mausoleum. It was even greater than the reward for checking in at the Throne Room. She felt that she could now compete with a powerhouse of the No Doubts State with her physical strength alone.
"It seems that I have to find more important places to check in in the future. There are many important places outside the palace, no less than in the palace."
She thought.
Eunuch Liu obviously felt that Xia Wanan was different from before she got on the carriage, but he couldn't tell what was different. In short, it was very strange.
Was it because she was about to get married that she changed from a young girl to a young woman?
This involved Eunuch Liu's knowledge blind spot. He abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and said respectfully to Xia Wanan.
"Since Your Royal Highness has been sent to the Imperial Mausoleum, we should return to the palace to report. When Your Royal Highness has finished guarding the mausoleum, His Majesty will send someone else to receive Your Royal Highness."
Xia Wanan nodded and watched Eunuch Liu and the others return.
She would go back by herself in a month and didn't need anyone to receive her.
"I am Yuan Fang, the commander of the Imperial Mausoleum. If Your Royal Highness has any requests in the future, you can tell me at any time." Yuan Fang stepped forward and introduced himself.
He had been guarding the Imperial Mausoleum for decades and had received at least a dozen princesses and infanta. However, he had to admit that the Fourth Princess in front of him was the most fairy-like princess he had ever seen. She must be one of the most favored children of His Majesty?
"Take me to my residence first," Xia Wanan said.
Xia Wan 'an said. She needed to find a secluded place to digest the changes the Immortal God Emperor Body had brought her.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Yuan Fang, Xia Wan 'an came to her residence in the Imperial Mausoleum. It was an independent tiled house made of bricks and stones.
Although this tile-roofed house was much simpler than Nagato Palace, it was much better than the barracks where other soldiers lived. Xia Wanan was not surprised. Since they came to guard the mausoleum, the accommodation conditions would naturally not be very good.
"Your Highness, please have a good rest. You'll have to wake up tomorrow morning to prepare for the mausoleum."
Yuan Fang reminded Xia Wan 'an before taking her leave.
…
Time passed slowly, and the stars in the night sky shifted. Soon, it was past midnight.
Other than a portion of the patrolling soldiers, most of the soldiers in the Imperial Mausoleum had gone into the barracks to rest. Everything was silent except for the faint roars of beasts in the distance.
The soldiers in charge of patrolling were not very alert. Some of them even dozed off because they knew that although the Imperial Mausoleum was built in the mountains, it was very safe. For decades, no thieves had dared to trespass into the Imperial Mausoleum. Most of the time, they were only there as decorations.
However, tonight's situation was different.
Three black shadows in night clothes were like ghosts. They moved and flashed in the darkness, accurately avoiding the sight of every soldier and quietly sneaking into the barracks.
In a low barracks, an independent brick and tile-roofed house was very eye-catching. It immediately attracted the attention of the three black-clothed men. They went straight to the tile-roofed house.
…
"They're here!"
In the tile-roofed house, Xia Wan 'an, who was lying on the bed as if she was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes.
Just as she expected, Jia Nanfeng dared to send people to assassinate her in the Imperial Palace. Now that she had left the Imperial Palace, she had no reason not to act.
After mastering the Great Way of Heaven's Evolution Scripture, Xia Wan 'an could absorb the Great Way's comprehension at every moment to increase her cultivation. Therefore, she could clearly sense that there were three figures rushing in her direction. The spiritual power contained in their bodies was surging. They were at least cultivators of the Standing Realm.
If she had faced the assassination of three cultivators of the Standing Realm last night, she would certainly have died. But tonight, she was different. Not only was she not afraid, she had an impulse to try.
She had obtained so many cultivation methods and martial skills today, but she had not yet tested their power.
"Pop."
There was a soft sound.
The window paper was pierced, and a white mist erupted from the bamboo tube and floated into Xia Wan 'an's nostrils.
Xia Wan 'an did not circulate her spiritual power to resist this white mist. She had signed in at the Imperial Garden during the day and obtained a physique immune to poison. She wanted to try whether she could resist the white mist.
The result did not disappoint her. After the white mist entered her nostrils, it felt no different from normal air and did not cause her the slightest discomfort.
Outside the tile-roofed house, the three people waited for a moment and felt that the poisonous smoke had almost played its role. They quietly used a dagger to pry open the door. A graceful figure lying on the bed was immediately imprinted in their eyes.
Unfortunately, the three people were not people who had tender feelings for the fairer sex. Without hesitation, they raised their swords and stabbed at the beautiful figure.
"Clang."
The three sharp swords were all caught by the jade-like white fingers. The two collided and actually made the sound of fine iron.
The three people were startled. Without waiting for them to recover, Xia Wan 'an slowly turned her head to face them and said coldly,
"Did Jia Nanfeng only send the three of you to die?"
The three people looked at the soul-stirring beautiful face in front of them, and a chill instantly rose from their backs. "You … Who are you!"
"You don't even know who the person you want to kill is?" Xia Wan 'an asked back.
A black-clothed man said in a trembling voice, "You are not Xia Wan 'an. Xia Wan' an is not as strong as you!"
In the information they received, Xia Wan 'an was only a cultivator who had just reached the Weak Crown Realm, but this "Xia Wan' an" in front of them gave them a mysterious and unfathomable sense of terror.
Xia Wan 'an disdained to talk nonsense with them. Her figure flickered as she used the Earth-level cultivation technique, Azure Dragon Traversing the Clouds. The three people only felt their vision blur as if they saw a huge dragon soaring into the sky. In the next moment, the sharp swords in their hands were all taken away.
"Raging Flame Palm."
Xia Wan 'an whispered and stretched out her right palm.
"Boom."
A flame bloomed from her palm and engulfed the two black-clothed men on the left.
Those two people didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly burned to ashes.
The only black-clothed man who wasn't engulfed by the raging flames was scared silly. At this time, he really wanted to question the person who provided him with Xia Wan 'an's information. You call this the Weak Crown Realm?!
If she's in the Weak Crown Realm, then the three of us are in the Weak Chicken Realm!
