"Let's see what they're going to do."
Xia Wanan was curious about the origin and purpose of these men in black, so she followed them in the direction she sensed.
The result was as she expected. Their target was the imperial palace. In a short time, the men in black arrived at the tightly closed Meridian Gate.
They didn't hide their tracks at all. They were discovered by the guards when they were hundreds of meters away from the Meridian Gate. The guards pulled out their swords and shouted, "Who are you!"
The men in black didn't say a word and didn't slow down at all. They plunged into the crowd.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! "
This was a one-sided massacre. The defending generals whose cultivation ranged from No Doubts State to Weak Crown State were no match for the black-robed men at all. They were all killed in one move, and no one was left alive.
"Boom!"
In the end, the leader of the men in black smashed the Meridian Gate with one palm and rushed into the imperial palace in an extremely powerful manner.
"They actually broke into the imperial palace like this?"
Xia Wanan, who followed them all the way, was a little surprised. She didn't expect these men in black to be so arrogant. Were they so confident in their cultivation?
She grew up in the imperial palace. The imperial palace gave her an impression of both coldness and power.
Su Feng also told her that there were countless powerhouses in the imperial palace. In addition to the imperial consecrators, there were many forbidden magic circles. Even her grandfather, who was called the Martial Sage, didn't dare to break into the imperial palace alone.
Based on the deep-rooted powerful impression of the imperial palace, Xia Wanan only wanted to sneak into the imperial palace to assassinate Jia Nanfeng even if she had thousands of years of cultivation. She didn't dare to break in openly.
"Well, you can be my vanguard and test the imperial palace's background."
Xia Wanan thought to herself and continued to follow the men in black.
In fact, she had already guessed their origin. The Four Empires just declared war on the Xia Dynasty during the day, but assassins broke into the imperial palace that night. Wasn't the identity of the assassin obvious enough?
…
…
At the same time, deep in the imperial palace.
A figure landed outside the bedroom of the Palace of Ganquan and reached out to push the door open.
Jia Nanfeng, who was on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and was about to question the other party —
"It's me."
The figure spoke first.
Jia Nanfeng was stunned and then surprised, "Father? You're done with your closed-door training! "
The figure nodded. He was the Headmaster of the Northern Sea Sect, Jia Youde. Under the hazy moonlight, his face was thin and he had a small goatee.
"To be precise, I came out of seclusion this morning. After more than half a month of life and death seclusion, I finally broke through to the Old Age Realm," Jia Youde said, sighing with emotion.
Jia Nanfeng was even happier when he heard the good news of his father's breakthrough. He hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Congratulations father for successfully breaking through and becoming the number one expert in the Cangxuan Continent!"
Jia Youde shook his head. "I'm not worthy of the title of the number one expert in the Cangxuan Continent. Do you really think that the five empires don't have any old ancestor overseeing them?"
"After reaching the Old Age Realm, I saw sceneries that I had never seen before in my life. I also understood even more clearly how powerful Su Changzun was back then. Although my cultivation realm was the same as his, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth. I wonder if I will be able to become a Martial Saint in my lifetime."
Jia Nanfeng seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Father, I know a secret related to Su Changcun!"
"What secret?"
"Su Changzun's granddaughter, Xia Wanan, has been very strange recently. Not only is there an expert protecting her, but the Great Zhou Empire also values her very much. I suspect that she has the treasures left behind by Su Changzun …"
Jia Nanfeng then told Jia Youde about her repeated failures in assassinating Xia Wanan, as well as the marriage request of the Great Zhou Empire.
After hearing the whole story, Jia Youde fell into deep thought. He slowly said, "According to what you said, Xia Wanan is indeed very mysterious. After all, she is the descendant of Su Changzun. If she really has the secret of the Great Snow Mountain secret realm, it will be very beneficial to my future cultivation. I must get it too!"
"Father, don't be in a hurry to explore the secret of Xia Wanan. She is now guarding the imperial mausoleum. It's not too late to kill her. Currently, the most urgent matter facing the Great Xia Empire is the alliance of the four empires. Qing Shan (the name of the Great Xia Emperor) is so worried today that he can't eat. Father, can you think of a way to help him?"
Jia Youde was silent for a while. Then, he said, "I heard about the alliance of the four empires after I came out of my retreat today. I tried to contact the leaders of the other sects and asked them why the four empires formed an alliance."
"What's the reason?" Jia Nanfeng asked eagerly.
Jia Youde sighed, "The leaders of the other sects seemed to know the inside story, but all of them kept it a secret. They refused to reveal a single word to me. The leader of the Fireworks Valley and I are sworn brothers. Even he only told me that the fall of the Great Xia Empire was a foregone conclusion. This is the general trend of the world and cannot be changed. Not to mention that I have broken through to the Old Age Realm, even if Su Changzun is resurrected, he can't do anything. He even advised me to protect myself and cut ties with the Great Xia Empire."
When Jia Nanfeng heard this, it was as if he had been hit in the head by a stick. He was stunned.
"How … how could this be …"
When Jia Youde saw his daughter in such a daze, he couldn't bear it. But he still hardened his heart and said, "Based on my relationship with the leader of the Fireworks Valley, he wouldn't speak without thinking. The Great Xia Empire must have violated some kind of taboo for him to say that. Under the general trend, I can't help Qingshan."
"If even father can't help him, who can?" Jia Nanfeng asked in a daze.
Jia Youde shook his head slowly, "No one can help him. I came to the palace tonight to take you away. You don't have to die with the Great Xia Empire …"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused. He looked up to the west and said solemnly, "Someone is coming. The person is at least a master of the Old Age Realm!"
Before Jia Nanfeng could react, an earth-shattering roar exploded in the air.
"Jia Nanfeng, accept your death!"
A huge palm print of dozens of feet fell from the sky, crashing down on the Palace of Ganquan like Mount Tai.
"Hmph!"
Jia Youde snorted coldly. He raised his hand and slashed out a sharp sword light, colliding directly with the palm print.
"Boom!"
The Palace of Ganquan suddenly exploded into pieces. The shock wave spread in all directions.
…
…
A quarter of an hour ago.
Xia Wanan followed the group of men in black into the depths of the palace.
These men in black seemed to know the layout of the palace like the back of their hands. After entering the palace, they kept moving forward. The guards who dared to intercept them along the way were all killed. When they reached a certain area, they suddenly divided into three groups and flew in three different directions.
Xia Wanan was not familiar with the layout of the palace, but she once used the Soul-Searching Technique on a disciple of the Beihai Sect and obtained all his memories. His memories included a topographic map of the palace.
Therefore, Xia Wanan recognized that the three directions the men in black were moving in were the Heart-Nurturing Palace where the emperor of the Great Xia Empire lived, the Palace of Ganquan where Jia Nanfeng lived, and the East Palace where Xia Jiangyin lived.
