When the elders of Qingshan fought with the masters of Shangshu Mansion, even though it only took a blink of an eye, the city guards patrolling nearby had already noticed it.
At the same time, Xu Ying, who had left his body at Xiang Que, also noticed it.
For a time, a total of two teams of city guards issued warnings as they gathered, and harsh whistles resounded one after another in the silent night sky of the Imperial City.
In other places, when the people in charge of Qingshan and Qingyun Sect saw this, they realized that someone somewhere had made a mistake and alerted the snake. At the beginning, they had a plan, that is, once the imperial city guards were alerted, they would not care.
Is it successful or not, even if the sword is already placed on the person's neck?
They must retreat immediately, and then all leave the imperial city. After arriving outside the city, they will disperse and disappear as soon as possible. They must not fall into the hands of Dashang, otherwise the status of Qingshan and Qingyun's disciples will definitely be lost immediately.
If exposed, the whole plan will be in vain.
At that moment, the disciples of Qingshan and Qingyun sects all quickly flew out of the city after showing up, without even covering their bodies. They just wanted to move quickly and not fight.
Dashang Imperial City does not have a large formation covering the city, so it is actually very easy to leave.
However, at this time, many of the city guards' masters flew into the air and intercepted the disciples of the two sects.
On the other side, Elder Qingshan was blocked by a strong man from the Great Dao Stage. He quickly used all his cultivation to kill the opponent as soon as possible, but there was a serious problem. He did not dare to use the Qingshan Sword Formation, which was too conspicuous.
technique, otherwise he might directly tell the other person who he is.
"Whoa!" Just when he hesitated, a figure suddenly shot out from a distance behind him.
"Let's go, I'm stopping you here..." Xiang Que's voice fell on the elder's ears. He was startled and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Que's Xuying wrapped in thick sword energy rushed towards Elder Qingshan.
behind.
"Boom!" Xiang Que's Xuying held the Qingshan Sword in his hand. When he slashed through the air, there was even a harsh whistling sound, and the sword light extending from the billowing sword energy was three feet long.
This is not the Qingshan Sword Formation, nor is it the Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique, but the Heaven-facing Sword that few people in the Qingshan Sect have mastered. Xiang Que estimates that the opponent may not have the knowledge to recognize this technique.
When the strong man in the Great Dao stage first saw Xiang Que's Xu Ying approaching, he was not very afraid. He could see at a glance that this was just the realm of Xu Ying, and he was a bit far away from his cultivation in the Great Dao stage.
, naturally he would not think that there was a possibility of him hurting someone with his sword.
But when the sword toward the sky appeared, the strong man's heart suddenly "thumped". The strength of this swordsmanship was far beyond his expectation, and he even felt that he might be injured by the sword.
The opponent hurriedly raised the two swords in his hands to face him, but because of a misjudgment, he was a little late to stop him. The sword light of the sword pointed towards the sky actually broke through the sword energy in front of him, and then hit him right in the middle.
on his chest.
"puff"
"Crack"
With just one strike of the sword, the opponent's sternum suddenly shattered, blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he staggered and fell softly toward the ground.
"Pfft" Although a strong man in the middle stage of the avenue was a little careless, the fact that he fell down because of Xiang Que's sword was really an exaggeration. Even the elder Qingshan who had flown far away was really surprised.
Is our Lord Swordsman too arrogant?
At this time, there was already some chaos in the city. The disciples of Qingshan and Qingyun sects were all galloping away from the city quickly.
The city guards and imperial guards who were not alarmed took to the air to intercept. For a while, various magic spells in Dashang Imperial City flashed one after another, and the momentum gradually attracted attention.
In the direction of the Dashang Palace, people rose into the air at the four corners at the same time. Then they crossed their arms and looked cautiously in all directions. However, they looked at the surrounding scene without any intention of taking action or moving. These were guards specifically responsible for the safety of the palace. Regardless of
Whatever happens in the city, they won't care as long as it's not close to the palace.
After Xiang Que succeeded with a blow, Xuying held the Qingshan Sword and began to assess the situation and watch the situation above the city. He felt that someone was being blocked somewhere, and he had to try his best to rescue them and send them outside the city.
However, judging from the current situation, the disciples of the two sects do not seem to have a big problem, because where are the cultivation levels of the City Guards and Imperial Guards? The commanders of the City Guards and Imperial Guards are only in the Great Dao and Out-of-body Stages
They are only in the realm of Xuying or Wenshen. With this level of cultivation, there is no way to intercept the disciples of Qingshan and Qingyun Sect in Rucheng. The difference is really far.
At the same time, in the eldest prince's residence, Yan Zhenming quickly walked out of his room with his clothes on, looking up at the figures passing by in mid-air, fighting each other.
The guards from the Prince's Palace also rushed over, and there were also people from Taixu Palace who stayed here.
"What's going on..." Yan Zhenming asked with a frown. At this time, he didn't realize that someone was intercepting and killing his people.
"I don't know, there was a sudden conflict in the city. There were people fighting in several places." A guard shook his head and said.
"Huh?" Yan Zhenming asked doubtfully, and Liang Jingyu from Taixu Palace behind him also walked out, and then said in a deep voice: "Look at where the killings are, making such a big noise at this critical moment,
This is not an ordinary situation. In extraordinary times, you have to pay attention to everything."
"Whoa, whoa!" Immediately, everyone in the prince's residence jumped into the air, and then surveyed the surrounding situation.
The first thing they saw was that all the guards from the Shangshu Mansion jumped out, and then they heard someone shouting: "Master Cao is dead..."
As soon as the words here fell, people who were alarmed in several other places found that their master suddenly died suddenly. These people immediately realized that it must be related to the sudden chaos tonight.
So some people shouted: "Secretary Zuo is dead"
"Master Zhou, the Minister of War, is dead..."
As soon as these people tipped off the news and heard it in the ears of the eldest prince Yan Zhenming, he was greatly surprised at first, and then his face became extremely gloomy.
He has realized that the people who died tonight are all from his lineage.
Someone is deliberately assassinating the officials of his eldest prince's lineage.
There is no doubt that this is a ploy by someone to usurp the throne.
The eldest prince controlled the two forces of the city guard and the imperial guard, which were the teams responsible for the security of the entire Dashang Imperial City. So Yan Zhenming floated in the air and ordered with a cold expression: "City guard, imperial guard, listen to the order
, From this moment on, whenever you see someone appearing in the imperial city, you don’t have to ask, they will all be captured..."
