"How dare you! How dare you cause trouble in Yingdu County! Stop!"
A general who led troops to the Hottest Restaurant shouted at the two people fighting in the air.
The old man's eyes were fierce. Although he couldn't do anything to the masked man, Yingdu County was the home ground of the Xia Dynasty. He only needed to keep the other party occupied and wait for the palace's experts to come to help. By then, no matter how powerful the other party was, he would have to die.
Xia Wanan sensed the other party's intention. In fact, with the Great Way of Heaven's Evolution Scripture, she also sensed several strong Qis quickly approaching her. She fought with the old man only to increase her combat experience and didn't want to put herself in danger.
"Bang!"
Another palm strike pushed the old man back. Xia Wanan decisively used the Cang Dragon Cloud-swimming Steps to escape.
"Where do you think you're going?"
The old man didn't give up. He mobilized a large amount of spiritual energy and used a powerful martial arts technique.
"Mountain-crushing Fist!"
A torrential fist print bloomed in the night and smashed toward Xia Wanan like a meteor.
Xia Wanan's beautiful eyes were cold. She turned around and used the Buddha's Palm. Dozens of huge palm prints shot out and collided with the fist print.
"Boom!"
There was an earth-shattering sound. The strong air wave even overturned a few houses below.
The fist print was forcefully defeated. The old man flew backward with blood spurting out of his mouth. He crashed into the ground and created a huge hole. Smoke and dust filled the air.
Although Xia Wanan had the upper hand this time, she still didn't feel good. She felt that her internal organs were shaking. She forced herself not to spit out blood and escaped toward the west gate.
"Stop, don't run!"
A group of soldiers shouted at her back, and at the same time, arrows rained down on her, but not a single arrow hit her. They could only watch as she disappeared into the night.
At this time, a sharp voice suddenly floated over.
"Don't be arrogant, thief. I'll fight with you!"
A moment later, an old woman in gray appeared in front of everyone. Her voice had arrived before her body.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
There was a series of air-piercing sounds. Another five imperial consecrators arrived. They glanced around, trying to find the assassin.
"You're too late. The assassin has already escaped."
Elder Ge said helplessly as he staggered out of the pit with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"What? He ran away?"
The imperial consecrators were stunned. They landed in front of Elder Ge and asked in astonishment, "Even you can't stop the assassin?"
Elder Ge sighed and said, "That assassin's cultivation level is very high, and she also has an extraordinary movement technique. I can't do anything to her. In such a short period of time, I'm afraid she's already escaped from the Imperial Capital and can't be chased anymore."
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say. They understood that Old Ge was right. To an expert of this level, the blockade at the city gate was like a decoration. It couldn't stop the other party at all.
"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. That assassin returned empty-handed and fled." Elder Ge continued.
As they spoke, the imperial consecrators saw Xia Jiangyin walking out of the brothel with a group of guards. Their expressions couldn't help but become a little strange.
…
…
As Xia Wanan escaped from Yingdu County, she used the Great Dao of Heaven's Evolution Scripture to sense her surroundings. After confirming that there was no one following her, she flew towards the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum and finally returned to her residence.
It was the darkest moment of the night. The Imperial Mausoleum was dead silent. Even the soldiers on night watch were too lazy to move around. They lowered their heads and dozed off.
[Detected that the player is currently at the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you want to Sign-In here?]
[Sign-In at the Imperial Mausoleum successful. Player is rewarded with 60 years of cultivation.]
After digesting the 60 years of cultivation that came out of nowhere, Xia Wanan lay on the bed and her thoughts were in a mess. Her blood was boiling.
Tonight was the first time she fought to her heart's content with someone. After the fight, she couldn't calm down for a long time. Her mind was filled with excitement.
But then again, if she were to fight with that old man again, she wouldn't have such a difficult time. Instead, the outcome would be decided very quickly. After all, not everyone was like her, able to increase their cultivation by sixty years in such a short time.
"With that old man's strength, he must have an important position in the palace. He might even be a consecrator."
Xia Wanan secretly guessed.
After the battle with the old man, she had a rough understanding of her own strength. She was now considered to have officially stepped into the ranks of powerhouses, but there was still a large gap between her and the top powerhouses. If she was besieged by four or five cultivators like the old man, she would still be in a dangerous situation.
"At this rate of improvement, I'll be fearless in five days at most!"
Xia Wanan made a plan for herself and decided to go to the palace to assassinate Jia Nanfeng in five days. By then, if everything went well, she could also test what the powerhouses in the palace could do to her.
If she was already invincible in the world by then, she could flip the table with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty in advance and pull him down from the supreme throne. There was no need to wait for a month at all.
At the thought of being able to complete the test task given by the owner of the Internet cafe as soon as possible, she couldn't help but feel excited and eager for that day to come.
…
…
The Imperial Mausoleum was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, but there were turbulent waves in the palace.
It was a big deal that the Crown Prince was attacked by a mysterious powerhouse, and the imperial family immediately reported it to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty learned that Xia Jiangyin had been assassinated in the Hottest Brothel, he was immediately enraged and felt that he had embarrassed the royal family. Hence, he summoned Xia Jiangyin to the palace at night and scolded him harshly. In his anger, he even said that he would depose the Crown Prince, scaring Jia Nanfeng into pleading for his son.
In the end, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not depose the Crown Prince and merely said those words in a fit of anger. He grounded Xia Jiangyin in the East Palace and only allowed him to come out when he received his permission.
It was also very chaotic outside the palace. Although the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty knew that the assassin had fled far away, he still ordered the soldiers to put the entire city under martial law and search for the assassin's accomplices. Once any suspicious person was found, they would be killed without mercy.
…
"Mother!"
Before dawn, Xia Qi ran to the Palace of Ganquan anxiously. "I heard that Brother was attacked by an assassin! How is he now? Is he injured? "
Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said, "He's fine, the assassin was forced to retreat by Elder Ge."
"That's good."
Xia Qi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was her only biological brother.
When she first heard the news of Xia Jiangyin being attacked by an assassin, she was very afraid that something would happen to Xia Jiangyin and her father would appoint another prince as the Crown Prince. If that were to happen, her life in the future would not be easy.
"That assassin really deserves to die. Of all the people she could assassinate, she actually had the audacity to assassinate Brother. After we catch her, we must kill her and her entire family!"
Xia Qi said fiercely. Although she was young, she was extremely vicious and ruthless.
