But they were different, not only burdened with families but also isolated and without assistance.
If the time dragged on too long and the imperial court discovered them, even if they eventually escaped the imperial capital, they would likely lose members of their clan.
And these clan members were all direct descendants; losing any one of them would be a great blow to their hearts.
"Now!" Hearing Wang Niuma's urging, Li Qianqiu took a deep breath and said.
............
East of the city!
Spirit Lake Garden!
Since being purchased by powerful nobles,
very few people have appeared in this place.
In addition, as Li Qianqiu prepared to depart, the ordinary noble clansmen responsible for monitoring the periphery began to gather towards the inner perimeter.
This allowed the Imperial Guards to quickly surround the area.
"Kill your way in!"
Wuming waved his hand slightly.
Hundreds of Imperial Guards and thousands of Imperial Army soldiers behind him infiltrated the lake forest at the fastest speed.
They quickly surrounded the entire garden, cutting off all exits.
"Hmm?"
The aura fluctuations generated by the appearance of the Imperial Guards and Imperial Army were instantly detected by Li Qianqiu, who was preparing to leave, and a trace of disturbance appeared on his face.
"Envoy, what's wrong?" Wang Niuma, who was only thinking about leaving, was not very alert to what was happening behind him. Seeing Li Qianqiu's sudden change in expression, he couldn't help but ask.
"We are surrounded!"
"It seems the imperial court discovered us long ago," Li Qianqiu said with a slight frown and a wry smile.
Although he wasn't afraid of being discovered by the imperial court,
that didn't mean he wanted to be discovered by the imperial court.
Such a situation meant trouble!
"What!?" Wang Niuma's pupils contracted!
His gaze suddenly turned to the surroundings of the garden. Sure enough, the faint sounds of footsteps and whispers of panting permeated the entire outer perimeter of the garden. They were indeed surrounded.
Wuming walked slowly into the garden with his hands behind his back.
Lü Qianxing, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army, followed respectfully behind him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Who are you people!?"
Some of the noble clansmen on the outer perimeter, seeing Wuming intrude, subconsciously drew their swords and stood in front of him.
However, before he could finish speaking, Lü Qianxing killed him on the spot with a single strike!
............
Chapter 34: No wonder the assassination failed. It turns out the Commander of the Imperial Guards is a Saint Realm expert.
............
Commander Wuming's strength far exceeded his own.
In comparison, it was impossible to injure him.
But Lü Qianxing had lived in the Imperial Guards since he was young, and he knew better than anyone what his duty was.
Moreover, these people were supposed to be executed.
Naturally, Lü Qianxing did not hesitate to attack.
With Lü Qianxing's strike, the smell of blood instantly filled the entire garden, causing everyone present to change their expressions drastically.
"It's the Imperial Guards! The new emperor's lackeys are here!"
"We are surrounded!"
Someone shouted, and everyone present showed panic on their faces.
At this moment, in the entire dynasty, there was no one more afraid of the Imperial Guards than them.
Now, hearing these words was undoubtedly the same as hearing their death sentence.
"The assassination of the emperor was their doing alone. We knew nothing about it. Now that they are dead, why must you kill us all?" The ancestor of the Tianhe family looked coldly at Wuming and asked in a cold voice.
With his mid-stage Half-Saint cultivation, he keenly sensed Wuming's extraordinary nature.
Without a doubt, the other party was the mysterious Commander of the Imperial Guards who had become famous in the imperial capital recently.
"Your strength is at the Half-Saint Completion stage. There is no such person as you in the imperial capital. I presume you are the owner of this garden?" Wuming's gaze fell on Li Qianqiu from the very beginning.
The Saint Realm was the strongest in the Southern Continent.
The Half-Saint Completion stage was second only to the Saint Realm and naturally not a common figure.
There were only a handful of Half-Saint Completion experts in the imperial capital.
Wuming had learned everything about these people during the past two days of investigation.
Therefore, Wuming predicted his identity at the first moment.
The owner of this garden was a strongman from outside the dynasty's territory.
The ancestor of the Tianhe family saw that the other party had no intention of answering his question and could not help but feel a trace of annoyance on his face.
The Tianhe family was at least one of the four major families in the imperial capital that had prospered for hundreds of years.
As the Tianhe ancestor, everyone in the imperial capital usually gave him some face.
Now, he had fallen to this point, making him feel a trace of humiliation.
He immediately looked at Wang Niuma standing next to Li Qianqiu, his meaning self-evident.
"Envoy, if you don't take action now that the Imperial Palace Guards are besieging us, and a large number of Imperial Army soldiers are drawn here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape," Wang Niuma said to Li Qianqiu with a bow, even more anxious than the ancestor of the Tianhe family.
Although they were also Half-Saints, the difference in strength between them and a Half-Saint Completion expert like Li Qianqiu was not just a little bit.
In addition, there was the unfathomable Commander of the Imperial Guards and many Imperial Guards.
If Li Qianqiu didn't take action to kill the other party, they probably wouldn't be able to escape after a long time, after all, this was the imperial court's territory.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was immediately moved.
They should know that the reason they gathered here, hoping to escape the imperial capital, was because of this mysterious envoy.
Their hopes could be said to rest on this person.
If the other party took action......
However!
The next moment.
What Li Qianqiu said shocked everyone present.
"I didn't expect the mysterious Commander of the Imperial Guards, who has shaken the imperial capital, to actually be a Saint Realm expert!"
"If I had known of Senior's existence, this junior would not have dared to gather these people. I'm afraid I wouldn't even have dared to enter the imperial capital," Li Qianqiu said with a trace of helplessness, bowing slightly.
As early as the moment Wuming entered the garden and his gaze fell on him.
He was incomparably shocked.
Because he discovered that he could not see through Wuming's realm.
And there were no fluctuations of any strange treasures on Wuming's body, which meant that his inability to see through Wuming was definitely not due to the concealment of any strange treasures.
But rather, Wuming's own cultivation surpassed his own.
Only in this way could it be explained.
This made him feel a trace of horror.
There were a total of seven Saints in the world.
After the death of the late emperor of the Shenxuan Dynasty, there were only six left.
Among these six, apart from the leader of his own Holy Church and the Barbarian Saint of the barbarians.
The entire Shenxuan Dynasty only had four.
According to the information he knew, these four Saints had been ordered by the late emperor to sit in the four prefectures of the dynasty, resisting the invasion of fierce beasts and foreign enemies. It was impossible for them to appear in the imperial capital.
However, cultivation could not be faked.
The Commander of the Imperial Guards in front of him was a Saint!
At this moment, Li Qianqiu completely abandoned his initial confidence.
He lowered his posture to the lowest.
Because he understood that no matter what he did, he would not be a match for a Saint.
If gods and demons were the gods of the world.
Then Saints were existences second only to gods.
Although they still belonged to mortals, they possessed a portion of the power of gods.
This portion of the power of gods could allow Saints to retreat unscathed from a million soldiers. In comparison, Half-Saints could not do it at all. At most, they could contend against ten thousand soldiers before having to escape, otherwise, they would die from exhaustion!
"What!? A Saint!"
At the moment when Li Qianqiu bowed down, everyone present suddenly gasped.
A trace of despair appeared on everyone's faces.
With a Saint Realm expert leading the way to kill them, they had no qualifications to escape at all.
"No wonder......"
The Great Elder of the Wudang Sect murmured in his heart.
