"City Lord, it seems that this person is going to betray us. You should know what the final result will be if what we do fails."
Ye Gucheng held the famous sword in his hand, looked at Xu Yin and said, "I did underestimate you."
Xu Yin drew his sword and said, "I'm sorry for ruining many of your good deeds."
"Indeed, if I kill you, nothing will happen."
The two people were only ten feet away from each other, and they were extremely close. Once they took action, there would be absolutely no room for maneuver.
Xu Yin's Kongji Wuhen and Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal Sword, the two swords clashed with each other, collided, and tore apart.
Before the sword even rises, the battle of thoughts has already filled the entire space.
The dancers, eunuchs, kings, and nobles in the space, no matter how high or low their status is, are absolutely equal on the same line at this time, that is the line of death!
In the face of death, everyone is equal!
Everyone felt as if they were facing an abyss or going to hell. They didn't dare to move, and they even kept their breathing very light.
It seems that with just a slight fluctuation, the aftermath of the fight between these two peerless swordsmen will wipe out their corpses!
Just when the two men's sword energy, sword power, and sword intent were building up to the extreme, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Ye Gucheng! I know you are inside! It was obviously the agreed date for the duel, why did you lie to me!"
This was Ximen Chuixue's questioning voice. This voice directly confused Ye Gucheng's sword.
There was a flaw in his originally calm sword heart, and the masters fought over that small difference.
Therefore, Xu Yin's sword struck out first.
Ye Gucheng hurriedly drew his sword. Although in the eyes of others, this sword was already the best, most brilliant, and flawless sword in the world!
However, at the level of Xu Yin and Ye Gucheng, if you are slow by one step, you will be slow for a lifetime!
The sword tips touched each other, and Ye Gucheng's face turned pale. He already thought that he would be unjust.
He was suddenly very angry and felt humiliated.
Because he already felt that Xu Yin did not use his full strength with the sword, and as a peerless swordsman, it was a great shame and humiliation to be treated with mercy by the opponent without being killed by the opponent's full sword power.
In order to wash away this shame, Ye Gucheng didn't want to die.
Therefore, he did not rush forward against Xu Yin's Kongji Wuhen Sword, but took advantage of the situation to retreat. As soon as he retreated, he retreated more than ten feet, smashing the door wall, collapsing the pillars, and breaking the rockery.
Standing in the courtyard, under the bright moonlight.
In the courtyard, there are countless guards standing. Among the guards are several top-notch masters in the world. They include Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Mu Taoist, Honest Monk, Sikong Zhaixing, Gusong Jushi, Sima
Ziyi, Tang Tianzong, Wei Ziyun...
Their eyes gradually shifted from Ye Gucheng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, to the broken doorway, where everyone could see clearly.
Wei Ziyun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, shouted: "Your Majesty, I am late to save you, and I deserve death!"
Everyone knew that the one sitting in pajamas was the real emperor.
Because except for formal occasions like going to court, he usually doesn't wear dragon robes, especially now when he should be asleep.
All the guards knelt down at the same time. Except for the masters in the world, the only ones who were still standing were the rebels!
The crown prince and Liu Tong looked pale, while the middle official outside had been chopped into pieces with knives.
The emperor said slowly: "Except Xu Changqing, all of you should go out."
The prince said: "I am not willing to accept it!"
The emperor said: "God's will cannot be violated!"
The prince looked at Xu Yin with blood-red eyes, "You won't have a good death either!"
Xu Yin smiled calmly, "I only want the truth."
The situation was over, everyone left the emperor's palace, and only the two of them were left here.
Xu Yin sat opposite the emperor, waiting quietly.
The emperor was very curious and said, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
The emperor looked serious and said: "You are not innocent."
"I don't care about guilt."
"It is very likely that you will not be able to leave this place alive, even if you have me as a hostage."
"You can break into dragon pools and tiger dens, and you can penetrate deep into the palace and inner courtyards as easily as you can."
"Three thousand soldiers are not clay puppets."
"I have a sword that can serve as a million soldiers."
The emperor pointed outside, "The Lord of Baiyun City and Ximen Chuixue, if they combine into one, you will never be an opponent."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Only one of them can survive tonight. I will win against Ximen Chuixue."
The emperor also laughed and said: "Is that because Ye Gucheng has been injured by you?"
Xu Yin shook his head and said, "Before entering this room, Ximen Chuixue was injured by me."
The emperor said seriously: "It seems that both of them are not as good as you."
"No, the Sword God has vulgar feelings, so he draws his sword to kill himself. The Sword God has dirt in his heart, so he can't be clear. The people I fight against are not at the top, and they can't win with force."
"If that's the case, why must the Sword God win?"
"Because the Sword Immortal knew that he was bound to die, a proud man like him would never choose to live an ignoble existence. Instead of dying at the hands of the imperial guard, it would be better to die under the sword of the most respected opponent, which would not only help himself but also help his opponent.
"
The emperor sighed and said: "He should not have ended up like this."
Then he stared at Xu Yin again and said, "You shouldn't do it either!"
"Your Majesty, are you trying to persuade me to give up on pursuing the truth?"
"I can give you two choices.
If you give up searching for the truth, you will be my friend!"
Although the emperor's friends did not say any benefits, everyone knew that just the word friend was a huge benefit.
The richest people in the world will spare no expense to curry favor with him, and the bureaucrats will open the door to him as a distinguished guest. He is also aloof in the martial arts world. No matter whether there are good or evil, no matter how much hatred he has, they will definitely do it.
Put aside the past grudges and respect him as a famous figure in the martial arts world.
Even if he does nothing and looks like a useless person, he will still have countless wealth, reputation, and beauties coming to him.
Xu Yin shook his head, "Another choice."
"You will know the truth, and then you will be wanted all over the world and hunted by countless people. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you will never have peace."
Xu Yin looked up to the sky and laughed.
Lu Xiaofeng was outside, looking in through the hole Ye Gucheng had made, but he didn't know what was going on. He wanted to plead for Xu Yin, but the guards refused to let them approach at all, and he didn't even have a chance to speak.
Xu Yin said seriously: "I choose the second one."
The emperor nodded in admiration, "Very good!"
He waved his hand, and several deaf-mute men were separated from the guards to guard the hole, while the others were driven away.
"Where do you want to start?"
"Who ordered Qingyi Tower?" Xu Yin knew exactly what he really wanted.
The emperor said calmly: "Prince Taiping."
Xu Yin clenched his fist. He had already made a guess, but he needed a clear evidence, not just three words.
He wants revenge, but he doesn't want to become a tool for politics or vassal reduction.
