Chapter 306: 306. I don’t believe I can’t kill you.
Xuan Ling looked at Zhao Luofei with a bit of frustration, feeling like she was wasting her talents. This woman had the luck of a dog, lying in bed with Fang Zhou for several days but doing nothing, such a waste of a great opportunity.
If it were her, she would have long taken advantage of the situation to overpower Fang Zhou, making that arrogant man cry his heart out and show him her prowess.
After listening to Zhao Luofei’s adventure, Yu Qing was thoughtful. She had already suspected that the person who sent the note was Fang Zhou, and now she was certain.
But thinking of how Zhao Luofei could actually sleep in the same bed with Fang Zhou for several days, Yu Qing felt a bit jealous although her heart was slightly sour.
Unfortunately, she had great respect for Fang Zhou, and being shy, she really didn’t dare to make any improper advances towards him. Holding hands was already the greatest courage she could muster.
Gou Cheng, on the other hand, stood there pondering as well, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Everyone! We probably don’t have time for small talk now."
Qiao Sen suddenly spoke up, her face full of seriousness.
She had felt something was amiss before, as if something important had slipped her mind.
It was only when she heard Zhao Luofei talk about hiding in Di Ao’s mansion that Qiao Sen suddenly realized.
Di Qingying was closely connected to Di Ao in private, and Di Qingying could possibly stage a military coup and rebellion.
She had sent Zhou Tong to capture Di Ao, but Di Ao escaped, and she thought it was no big deal; a wanted notice could be issued tomorrow.
But now Qiao Sen realized that there was a great possibility Di Ao would go to Di Qingying. If Di Qingying really intended to rebel, Di Ao’s escape would essentially inform Di Qingying in advance, prompting her to initiate the coup early.
Of course, this was just Qiao Sen’s speculation; Di Qingying might not know she has been exposed and might still continue to hide.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Qiao Sen was about to share her speculations with them when...
"Boom—"
A sudden loud noise came from afar, like a thunder strike, shocking everyone’s heart.
"The direction it’s coming from is the city gate."
Here, Yu Qing’s strength was the greatest, and she immediately pinpointed the source of the sound.
Qiao Sen’s expression changed drastically; the explosion and Yu Qing’s assessment confirmed her suspicions.
As expected, Di Qingying had instigated rebellion ahead of time.
Qiao Sen stood up abruptly, rushed to the desk in a few steps, took half of the Tiger Talisman from the table, and threw it to Zhao Luofei.
"General Zhao, Di Qingying has rebelled. I command you to go to the right camp to take over the Long Xiao Guards and bring troops to protect the capital."
The capital’s guards consisted of two groups: the Dragon Guard and the Long Xiao Guards, defending the capital on both the left and right.
Di Qingying has been the Dragon Guard’s Great General for over twenty years; she has likely fortified the Dragon Guard to the point where it is solid as a rock, and would rebel with them if she chose to rise up.
The only immediate rescue is from the right camp’s Long Xiao Guards. Although there are quite a few disciples and former subordinates of Di Qingying in the Long Xiao Guards, Qiao Sen believed Zhao Luofei, with the Tiger Talisman, could handle it.
Qiao Sen’s words turned Zhao Luofei’s face pale, but she wasted no time asking questions; Qiao Sen had made it very clear with one sentence.
She took the Tiger Talisman and prepared to accept the order and leave.
Xuan Ling suddenly said, "Let me give you a lift."
The right camp was still some distance from the capital, and Zhao Luofei couldn’t fly. The round trip would take an unknown amount of time.
Zhao Luofei nodded gratefully, thinking Xuan Ling was going to take her personally. Unexpectedly, Xuan Ling’s belt split off a section, gently wrapping around Zhao Luofei’s waist and taking her flying away.
Qiao Sen’s expression was grave. Apart from the right camp’s Long Xiao Guards, there were also quite a few stationed troops within the capital, but they were all disciples from wealthy families who paid to gain status; relying on them was as useful as relying on the two dogs kept in the Imperial Palace.
Of course, there was also a special troop in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Army, specifically protecting the palace. Although they were all elite, their numbers were few and couldn’t be sent out to battle the enemy forces.
Before Zhao Luofei could bring the Long Xiao Guards here, Qiao Sen could only rely on Yu Qing and the other two to protect the Imperial Palace.
After Qiao Sen explained the situation clearly, Yu Qing and her companions never expected things to take such a dramatic turn.
However, their visit was to aid the Qiao family, which naturally included protecting Qiao Sen’s safety, an unquestionable duty.
...
Time rewinds to before.
Fang Zhou chased after Li Xian out of the Di Mansion, not bothering with Zhao Luofei anymore.
He knew that once Zhao Luofei returned, she would definitely reveal his affairs to Qiao Sen, Yu Qing, and others.
However, there was no need to hide from his own people at this point, as long as the enemy didn’t find out.
Li Xian ran swiftly, like a mudfish, treating the city as a slime pool, darting quickly through the streets and alleys.
Fortunately, now the city was covered with snow, pure white even at night; Li Xian’s shadow was very conspicuous on the snow, so Fang Zhou hadn’t completely lost her yet.
He stepped on the Xuanyuan Sword, chasing her in the air, controlling the other seven Xuanyuan Swords, continuously attacking the shadow below.
Most were dodged; occasionally one or two hits landed, but the opponent seemed unbothered.
Heh, I don’t believe I can’t kill you.
Fang Zhou kept the relentless pursuit, not out of stubbornness or impulse, but reasoning that Li Xian couldn’t maintain her state for long or it came at some cost.
Otherwise, if she was immune to Fang Zhou’s attacks, standing undefeated, why bother running, why dodge every time?
Moreover, Li Xian was from the True Mother God Sect; leaving her would mean she’d report back to General Yaksha.
That would expose Fang Zhou’s hidden activities. It’s fine for allies to know, but if enemies found out, all his previous discretion would be in vain.
Since Li Xian engaged with Zhao Luofei and others, it indicated the True Mother God Sect planned a coup tonight, and Fang Zhou needed to strike first and eliminate one to weaken their strength.
For both sentiment and logic, Fang Zhou couldn’t allow Li Xian to escape; he simply had to chase unrelentingly.
Li Xian’s escape route was towards Di Jingying’s mansion, indeed a True Mother God Sect base, confirming Fang Zhou’s suspicion. She really intended to report back.
Fang Zhou transformed the Xuanyuan Sword into sixteen blades for maximum output.
Apart from one functioning as a vehicle, the remaining fifteen surrounded Fang Zhou like floating cannons, continuously shooting at the shadow below.
Li Xian’s shadow frantically dodged, not daring to withstand multiple hits.
With each advance forward, she faced intense attacks and could only detour left or right, gradually deviating from her intended route, moving farther from the base.
Li Xian was on the brink of madness, fleeing with all her might, speeds indistinguishable by the naked eye. Even those in the Foundation Establishment Realm might be left behind, let alone the average Innate Realm cultivator.
However, Fang Zhou had complete air dominance, and the speed of the Xuanyuan Sword was not slow. He also used other Xuanyuan Swords to interfere with Li Xian’s escape, ensuring she stayed within pursuit range.
