91: The show is about to begin, no one will be left behind
Imperial Palace.
Imperial Study.
The Xia Emperor, draped in a long robe, was examining a scroll.
"Your Majesty, there might be a major disturbance in Tianqi City tonight."
An old eunuch respectfully bowed to the Xia Emperor.
The Xia Emperor closed the scroll and said indifferently, "The Sixth Prince has kept a low profile for so many years, and now his fangs are revealed. It is quite a surprise to me. It's a pity that what he did was a bit foolish. Then let's teach him a lesson, using strength to deal with the troubles around him. As long as he doesn't die, it's fine!"
"This old servant understands!"
The old eunuch bowed again, then turned and left.

On top of a tall building.
Xie Weilou, dressed in a black robe, held an oil-paper umbrella and silently gazed at a Mysterious Pavilion not far away.
Snow fluttered, the cold wind was biting, and the night was deep, without a trace of light.
He took out a ghost-face mask and put it on.
This mask was very peculiar; it was a treasure. After putting it on, it seemed to merge with his face, allowing him to easily change his appearance and figure. Its effects were very strange.
With a thought, the mask disappeared, merging with his skin.
His face rapidly changed, transforming into a sinister, stern countenance.
"The item my Third Uncle gave me is indeed not simple."
Xie Weilou stroked the mask and murmured.
Tonight would be very lively; it was estimated that many people wanted to act against Yan Wugou.
However, Yan Wugou had many tricks up his sleeve, and someone would definitely suffer greatly. The main purpose of this trip was still to resolve the soul entity on Yan Wugou.
As for killing the opponent?
This was Tianqi City, where the Emperor resided. It was basically impossible to kill the opponent!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sound of air breaking rang out, and three afterimages instantly rushed towards that Mysterious Pavilion.
"The show begins."
Xie Weilou said faintly.
Mysterious Pavilion.
It was six stories high, with the bottom five floors completely dark, and only the sixth floor flickering with faint light.
In front of the pavilion.
Three Mysterious People appeared. They were all dressed in black robes and wore masks, their bodies exuding the aura of the Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage.
"......"
The three Dao Repository Realm experts exchanged glances and said nothing. They came from different factions, and today they were only here to act against Yan Wugou.
The difficulty of dealing with Yan Wugou in Tianqi City was immense.
However, they wanted to see if they could cripple him. Even if they couldn't, they couldn't let him successfully break through.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
After the three Dao Repository Realm experts appeared, twelve more Mysterious People emerged around them. They were all in the Territory Expansion Realm.
If these three Dao Repository Realm experts were related to the various princes, then these Territory Expansion Realm experts were the work of certain high-ranking officials and nobles.
Many children of the powerful died during the trip to Snow Wolf Valley. How could those people remain indifferent?
"Three Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage, twelve Territory Expansion Realm. The lineup is quite large, but it's still not enough against Yan Wugou."
Xie Weilou shook his head.
He looked to the side. On the opposite pavilion, a Mysterious Woman appeared.
She was dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, wore a white jade mask, held a long sword, and carried an oil-paper umbrella. The killing intent on her body was extremely strong.
After the Mysterious Woman appeared, a hunched, masked Mysterious Old Man appeared beside her. His strength was not weak, at the Dao Repository Realm (Middle Stage).
"Yan Ruyu!"
Xie Weilou muttered to himself.
The Mysterious Woman opposite was indeed Yan Ruyu. Naturally, she wouldn't miss tonight's good show.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Xie Weilou, her eyes cold and without the slightest ripple.
"Attack!"
Everyone exchanged a brief glance, then charged towards the sixth floor. A terrifying pressure erupted, causing the pavilion to tremble as if it were about to collapse.
Buzz!
Inside the pavilion, zither music sounded. The zither notes were like sharp blades, instantly striking everyone.
Boom!
Everyone immediately attacked. Except for the three Dao Repository Realm experts, the rest of the Territory Expansion Realm cultivators were instantly sent flying, unable to resist at all.
Sixth floor.
Yan Wugou was playing the zither. A look of mockery appeared on his face. How could he peacefully cultivate without resolving certain obstacles?
Since someone came to seek death tonight, he naturally had to grant their wish. This way, certain people should quiet down for a while.
Boom!
The eyes of the three Dao Repository Realm experts outside were fierce. Powerful attacks simultaneously struck the sixth floor.
Yan Wugou continued to play the zither. The zither notes erupted, rushing out of the pavilion and blocking the attacks of the three Dao Repository Realm experts.
The pavilion shook.
Chirp!
Yan Wugou's body trembled, the zither strings snapped, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Cracks also appeared on the pavilion.
"What a pity, such a good zither!"
Yan Wugou looked at the ancient zither in front of him and sighed softly.
Then, a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes: "Leave no one alive!"
Whoosh!
As soon as his voice fell, the lights on the fourth floor of the pavilion lit up, and more than a dozen figures flew out. Without exception, they were all in the Territory Expansion Realm.
Then the lights on the fifth floor lit up, and three figures rushed out, all in the Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage.
These people had no demonic energy on them; they were all human cultivators.
"Dao Repository Realm..."
The three Dao Repository Realm experts in front of the building narrowed their eyes, showing surprise. Yan Wugou had actually gathered so many powerful individuals?
This time, even if they couldn't kill Yan Wugou, being able to force out these hidden forces of his was a huge gain.
"He really has some tricks."
Seeing three Dao Repository Realm experts and more than a dozen Territory Expansion Realm experts appear simultaneously, Xie Weilou couldn't help but say faintly.
It was already good if a few princes could send out Dao Repository Realm experts, but Yan Wugou immediately brought out three Dao Repository Realm experts, which was quite extraordinary.
This person was indeed very deeply hidden, but as the Sixth Prince, an existence that feigned weakness to hide his true strength, all of this seemed very normal.
To feign weakness to hide true strength, one naturally needed the strength to do so.
It was clear that Yan Wugou had the strength. In these years of hiding, who knew how many forces he had developed, and who knew how many more hidden strengths he had yet to reveal.
"......"
Yan Ruyu stared indifferently at the three Dao Repository Realm experts. She had to admit, Yan Wugou had given her another surprise.
"Three Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage experts are nothing to fear."
The Mysterious Old Man beside Yan Ruyu spoke, not putting the existence of these three Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage experts in his eyes.
Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "It's not that simple! There's also a demoness who hasn't appeared yet..."
Besides that demoness, Yan Wugou also had a profound soul entity on him.
"Kill!"
Inside the pavilion, Yan Wugou's chilling voice rang out.
Boom!
The three Dao Repository Realm experts and more than a dozen Territory Expansion Realm experts under Yan Wugou's command instantly attacked.
The people in front of the pavilion also did not hesitate and bravely met the challenge.
Rumble!
The chaotic battle began, and powerful energy ripples swept in all directions, creating a huge commotion.
Such a commotion would surely be noticed by some powerful individuals in Tianqi City, but those powerful individuals did not appear, as if they were observing.
"With such a commotion, yet those people haven't appeared, there's only one possibility..."
A faint light flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes.
With the Emperor's tacit approval, naturally no one would appear.
Since the Emperor was paying attention to this matter, the possibility of killing Yan Wugou was zero.
However, if they couldn't kill him, couldn't they still fight him, or cripple him?
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu immediately rushed forward with the Mysterious Old Man...
