Fei Yan thought about it for a long while but was still unable to come up with any relevant information. He had not been in the Fire Country for very long and the information he knew was not that comprehensive. Being able to find out about the missing Emperor of the Fire Country was already a great achievement.
As they were conversing, the skies had already turned bright and the Imperial Capital was gradually returning to its usual bustle. The innkeeper of the Immortals' Loft asked Jun Xie and the others if they wanted to report the matter of the assassins to the Imperial Capital's yamen but was politely rejected.
Ye Sha had set the bodies of the assassins on fire, completely burning them up.
No matter what kind of secret was hidden within the ring, it was a fact that Lei Fan and the Empress had harbored the intention to kill Jun Xie. After not getting any results this time, they would definitely strike again.
However, just as everyone was thinking about how they should deal with the matter at Lei Fan's side, a team of heavily armoured soldiers came roaring through the streets of the Imperial Capital, heading straight towards the Immortals' Loft.
"What's going on?" A commotion broke out outside the Immortals' Loft and the few people who were in the midst of their conversation immediately noticed the commotion outside. Qiao Chu immediately walked over to the window and saw a team of soldiers surrounding the Immortals' Loft.
"There are so many soldiers coming from below and they have completely surrounded the Immortals' Loft." Qiao Chu immediately turned his head to say to his companions.
"Could it be people sent by Lei Fan again?" Fei Yan asked with a frown on his face as he walked over to the window to look. But he quickly realized that he had guessed wrongly.
"It's not people from the Prime Minister's Residence. It's the Imperial Guard Army!"
"Imperial Guard Army?"
The Fire Country's Imperial Guard Army was under the control of the Commander of the Imperial Guard Army and the Commander of the Imperial Guard Army only took orders from the Emperor alone. It was obvious that the mobilization of the Imperial Guard Army had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Residence in the slightest, but was an order from the Emperor himself.
"Why would the Emperor send the Imperial Guard Army here? Could it be that the Grand Adviser's words have really come true? That old Emperor, is really going to strike Little Xie just for a ring? "Rong Ruo immediately stood up, her brows creased up, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
The speed at which the Imperial Guards arrived was too fast. It had only been a few hours since the end of the palace banquet, yet the Emperor had already sent out the Imperial Guards. Such an urgent action made it difficult for one to have any optimistic conjectures.
The mobilization of the Imperial Guards had not only alerted Jun Xie and the others, it had also attracted the attention of many people in the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Guards were responsible for the security of the Imperial Palace and they rarely appeared in other places in the Imperial Capital. Today, they had mobilized so many people and it was a very rare situation.
Many commoners were curious when they saw the Imperial Guards moving out. They followed the Imperial Guards all the way, only to discover that the Imperial Guards' destination was actually the Immortals' Loft!
Speaking of the Immortals' Loft, if it had been any other day, it might have just been an ordinary inn. But within the Immortals' Loft, resided a bunch of people from the Zephyr Academy, the true victors of this year's Spirit Battle Tournament. Previously, the six disciples from the Zephyr Academy had snatched the top six positions in the Spirit Battle Tournament and they had been highly regarded. But besides that, the Immortals' Loft was also a place where many things happened.
Not too long ago, before the battle for the top ten ranks of the Spirit Battle Tournament had even begun, the Imperial Capital's yamen had sent people to bring Jun Xie away from the Immortals' Loft. Although the incident was later proven to be a misunderstanding, it had still made people feel rather uncomfortable.
And now, the Fire Country's Imperial Guards had actually come here as well. Looking at their aggressive demeanor, it was obvious that they were not here to congratulate them.
