The Imperial Guards dispersed, leaving behind a few injured who were howling in pain on the ground. This calmed Lin Muyu down. She mounted her horse and ordered, "Two of you stay behind to treat the injured. The rest of you, follow me to escort the girls out of Lanyan City."
Wei Chou cupped his fists and said, "Yes, General. However, these girls are penniless. What should we do?"
Lin Muyu searched her pockets and found some Gold, Silver, and Diamond coins. She took out a diamond coin and handed it to a soldier, saying, "Take this and exchange it for Gold and distribute it to these girls. Each of them will get five coins. If there's not enough, I'll make it up to you later."
Wei Chou took out a bag of Gold and said, "What are you saying, General? I've already given them the money. How can I let you make up for the lack?"
"The Imperial Guards will be here soon."
Lin Muyu looked outside the hall and said, "We must hurry. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave once the Imperial Guards arrive."
"Yes, General!"
… …
Soon, nearly 200 prostitutes came out of the Recuperation Hall in ragged clothes, including the girl who had just lost her virginity. When she finally walked out of the Recuperation Hall, a trace of life finally appeared in her eyes. In fact, being able to live was more important than anything, even more important than chastity. Sometimes, human nature was like this.
Lin Muyu escorted these girls out of the city. She had a patrol token on duty, so she didn't encounter any obstructions when she left the city.
The autumn wind was warm outside the city. The group of girls each took out a Gold and knelt by the side of the road, thanking her sincerely. Some of them even hugged their heads and cried.
Lin Muyu sat on her warhorse and closed her eyes. Through the Spirit Pulse Technique, she could feel the sound of hooves in the distance. She pointed to the south and said, "There's a village about three miles south. Go live there and don't come back."
"Thank you, sir, thank you …" The women cried and supported each other as they left.
In less than five minutes, the heavy sound of iron hooves could be heard, and a large group of imperial soldiers rushed out of the city. There were at least a thousand of them, but Lin Muyu recognized the leading general. It was Luo Lie, the chiliarch who had brought him into Lanyan City for the first time.
"Yu!"
Luo Lie's sword-like eyebrows furrowed as he urged his horse forward. "You're really too reckless. Do you know how much trouble you've caused? Letting two hundred concubines loose is a capital offense in the army! "
Lin Muyu said apologetically, "Lord Luo Lie, I'm really sorry … This time, I injured a soldier of the Imperial Guard. I was indeed too rash, but … I really can't bear to see a girl being humiliated in front of me. If I can endure all of this, then I don't deserve to wear this white robe. I'm sorry …"
"Sigh …"
Luo Lie let out a long sigh. "The Nursery Hall is where the Imperial Army gathers the concubines in Lanyan City. It's directly under the jurisdiction of the Divine Marquis Constabulary. You've destroyed the Nursery Hall this time … the Divine Marquis Constabulary will definitely not let you off. Based on Divine Marquis Zeng Yifan's attitude towards you, there's no way he'll let you off this time. What do you plan to do?"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I'll go to Ze Tian Palace myself to see His Majesty and accept my punishment."
"Mm."
Luo Lie nodded. "We'll split into two groups. I'll leave 500 cavalrymen to escort you to Ze Tian Palace. You must be careful. Before you reach Ze Tian Palace, don't fall into the hands of the Divine Marquis Constabulary or the Military Police Battalion. Zeng Yifan and Xiang Yu aren't easy to deal with. I'll immediately look for Lord General Feng and Lord Qin Lei. With their pleas, perhaps His Majesty will be lenient."
"Mm, thank you, Lord Luo Lie!"
"Let's go. The Imperial Guard will have to confiscate your weapons first. Is that alright?"
"Mm."
… …
After handing over the Burning Prairie Sword and Pear Blossom Spear, Lin Muyu dismissed Wei Chou and the rest of the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards, allowing them to return to the Patrol Station to hand in their orders. Wei Chou was extremely unwilling, but in the end, he could only leave indignantly and watch as Lin Muyu was escorted by a group of Imperial Guards to Ze Tian Palace.
Skyspan Street was extremely lively. The commoners surrounded the two sides of the street and looked at the Imperial Guard's formation from afar. They were pointing and discussing something.
After traveling for a short distance, a troop of soldiers galloped over from afar. Their armor was bright, and there was a golden eagle insignia embedded on their chest plates. They were from the Military Police Battalion. The Bloodbath Spear in Xiang Yu's hand drooped down, suffused with a blood-red luster. He abruptly raised the spear and shouted in a low voice, "Audacious Lin Muyu, how dare you defy the empire's military law and wreak havoc in the Nursery Hall? Men, arrest him and bring him back to the Military Police Battalion!"
Lin Muyu's brows were tightly knitted. The Imperial Guard's centurion cupped his fists and smiled, "This general greets Lord Xiang Yu. Lin Muyu has already been arrested by this general. The Imperial Guard will escort him to Ze Tian Palace to await His Majesty's punishment. There's no need for Lord Xiang Yu to worry!"
"Is that so?"
Xiang Yu's arm trembled slightly, and raging flames surged onto the spear, transforming into a ferocious tiger martial soul. It was a first-grade martial soul — Trampling Fire Tiger. His arm lowered slightly, and he urged his horse to gallop over. The Bloodbath Spear was covered in raging flames as he laughed, "There's no one I, Xiang Yu, can't capture if I want to!"
The Imperial Guard's centurion was stunned, and he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword. Xiang Yu had long stepped into the second level of the Heavenly stage, and was a Heavenly King powerhouse. With such a huge disparity in strength, how could a mere centurion dare to fight with Xiang Yu?
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Muyu abruptly urged her horse to knock the centurion away. She opened her palm, and the Black Tortoise Shell and Dragon Scale Wall instantly condensed, taking on Xiang Yu's determined attack head-on!
"Peng!"
The Trampling Fire Tiger roared incessantly, and the Bloodbath Spear produced a whirling force, piercing through the Black Tortoise Shell like an awl. Xiang Yu roared, and his tiger eyes were filled with rage, "Break for me!"
Another loud sound, and the Dragon Scale Wall was also pierced through, and the Bloodbath Spear pierced towards Lin Muyu's neck with a biting cold flame.
"Hua!"
At that critical moment, Lin Muyu dodged to the side, and the Bloodbath Spear left a bloody mark on his neck. He flipped off his horse, and with a quick stride, he arrived beside the Swordsman Lieutenant. He opened his palm slightly, and the Prairie Fire Sword was unsheathed. As soon as he turned around, he saw the blazing Bloodbath Spear flying towards him like lightning. He had no time to dodge, and could only use the Prairie Fire Sword to block.
"Keng!"
Sparks flew everywhere. Xiang Yu's strength was just too strong, and he was sent flying backwards, crashing into a wall behind him.
"Struggle before death!"
Xiang Yu laughed coldly, and suddenly lifted his left arm. Flames swirled around his fist, and he roared, "Fire Cloud Fist!"
The whistling fist carried with it a monstrous power. Lin Muyu gritted his teeth, and hurriedly raised both his palms, instantly raising his dou qi to the maximum, and the Dragon Scale Wall + Black Tortoise Shell was formed once more!
"Bang!"
The flames formed a shockwave, pushing a group of Imperial Guards and Military Police back again and again. As for the citizens of Lanyan City who were watching from afar, they all covered their eyes and lowered their heads to avoid the impact of the shockwave.
The person who felt the most uncomfortable was none other than Lin Muyu. Xiang Yu's punch was very strange, and the layers of flames rippled. Lin Muyu used his dou qi to strengthen the walls of the gourd, and blocked three layers of the force. However, he didn't expect that there would be three more layers of force, each stronger than the one before. This was the marvel of the "Fire Cloud Mantra" that Xiang Yu had cultivated for many years. Many experts had been defeated by this punch!
"Bang!"
The moment the walls of the gourd shattered, Xiang Yu's punch landed on Lin Muyu's chest armor, directly shattering the golden star insignia of the Sacred Temple Sparring Master. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu concentrated the rest of his dou qi on his chest to withstand this blow. "Bang!" He slammed into the wall, and terrifying cracks appeared on the brick wall behind him.
Fortunately, he wasn't too seriously injured. His blood and qi were surging, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Heh!"
Xiang Yu sneered, and the Bloodbath Spear thrust forward like lightning. He was obviously going to kill Lin Muyu, and not bring him back to the Military Police Camp for interrogation!
Lin Muyu knew how strong the person in front of him was, but there was nothing he could do. His strength was completely suppressed, and his dou qi was almost exhausted in an instant. He couldn't summon his strength for a moment, and he couldn't even use the Seven Luminaries Profound Energy. Looking at Xiang Yu's spear thrust forward, Lin Muyu had a feeling that death was approaching.
She never thought that she would actually die here. This was probably the shame of thousands of transmigrators, right? Moreover, it was such a worthless death. Dying for 200 camp girls? Those transmigrators had all made great contributions, and their names would go down in history …
In an instant, Lin Muyu's mind was full of thoughts.
At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound in the air, and a broad saber carrying a majestic dou qi fell from the sky. It was the Windcutter Saber. Feng Jixing was here!
Clang!
Xiang Yu's sure-kill spear was directly repelled by Feng Jixing, and a cyclone surged between the two. Feng Jixing held the Windcutter Saber, and his face was filled with battle intent and anger as he said, "Lord Xiang Yu, Lin Muyu is a Royal Guard. You want to kill him? Do you know that the Royal Guard is a title bestowed by the Emperor? Do you have the qualifications to kill a Royal Guard? "
"Heh …"
Xiang Yu raised the corner of his mouth with some disdain. The Fire Cloud Art on his arm surged as he said indifferently, "Feng Jixing, I know you have a personal relationship with Lin Muyu. If you want to help him, then come at me together. I, Xiang Yu, am unparalleled in the world. So what if I fight the two of you alone?"
Feng Jixing said, "You really aren't willing to let Lin Muyu off today?"
"That's right." Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, "He destroyed the Nurturing Hall and openly challenged the empire's military law. This is already equivalent to challenging the dignity of the god of war, Xiang Wentian. As Xiang Wentian's descendant, how can I allow such a person to live in this world?"
Lightly swinging the Windcutter Saber, Feng Jixing said indifferently, "Lord Xiang Yu, I, Feng Jixing, have always respected you as a hero. But if you insist on killing Yu today, then you'll have to step over my, Feng Jixing's, corpse."
As he spoke, Feng Jixing raised his saber and shouted, "All Imperial Guards, listen up! This is a personal grudge between me and General Xiang Yu. None of you are allowed to make a move, even if I, Feng Jixing, die in battle."
Xiang Yu sneered, "You're courting death. I've killed many heavenly realm powerhouses, but I've never killed an empire's commander. Then I'll start with you!"
