81: Chapter 81 The Six Emperors Attack

The Six Emperors had just stepped out of the Imperial City gates when they were stunned by the scene before them.

The entrance was packed with a dense crowd; people were shoulder to shoulder, blocking the way completely, leaving not even a sliver of space to be found.

Personnel from the Investigation Bureau were busy anxiously clearing up the shocking heap of rotting flesh on the ground.

The surrounding crowd whispered and pointed, discussing the scene incessantly.

"I fear this might be the First Prince."

"A prince? How is that possible? This is the Imperial City of the capital; who would dare do such a thing? Do they not value their lives?"

"Hmph, you are ignorant. It is obvious that this was done by the Four Kings Pavilion, the organization that has newly emerged."

Seeing this, the investigators' expressions turned cold; their already serious faces now looked as if they were covered in frost.

"The Investigation Bureau is working; please step back, everyone."

Upon hearing this, an exceptionally jarring voice rang out from the crowd.

"I fear Great Zhou is finished. To be humiliated to such an extent by the Four Kings Pavilion—how pathetic."

"Who said that?"

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Guo of the Investigation Bureau was instantly enraged, shouting furiously.

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

The crowd was startled by the sudden shout; the timid ones couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the scene fell into instant silence.

Team Leader Guo glared at the crowd and said coldly,

"People should still have some conscience. Without Great Zhou, your lives would be just like those in the neighboring Sakura Country—plunged into misery!"

Just as Team Leader Guo wanted to say something more,

"Ah!"

An extremely miserable scream suddenly pierced everyone's ears; the sound was like the cry of a night owl, making one's blood run cold.

Emperor Zuo, the youngest of The Six Emperors, was holding a soul that was struggling incessantly.

"The Four Kings Pavilion has some nerve."

After speaking, a blinding white light suddenly emerged from Emperor Zuo's hand.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the soul instantly turned into nothingness, leaving not even a trace behind.

Seeing this, Team Leader Guo hurriedly knelt on one knee before The Six Emperors, his expression extremely respectful, and said loudly,

"Subordinate, Team Leader of the Third Group of the Investigation Bureau, pays respects to the Emperors."

The others, upon hearing this, were initially stunned, as if they hadn't yet reacted, but then hastily knelt on one knee as well.

"Pay respects to the Emperors." The voices of the crowd were uniform, echoing at the gates of the Imperial City.

The Six Emperors nodded slightly at the crowd, their expressions serious.

Then, without the slightest pause, they vanished from the Imperial City like a gust of wind, speeding toward Linan City, leaving only a cloud of dust in their wake.

---

Qin Xiaogan stood quietly on the once most prosperous street in Linan City, which had long since become empty and desolate.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a hint of mockery.

It seems Great Zhou already knows his location.

Qin Xiaogan crossed his arms, a flash of ferocity crossing his eyes.

"Since you are so wary of me, then I shall make this Linan City your nightmare."

As soon as he finished speaking,

A powerful aura surged around him, and a fierce wind whistled, blowing his clothes until they flapped loudly.

He stepped toward the outskirts of the city; every step seemed to carry immense force, causing the stone road beneath his feet to tremble slightly.

Meanwhile, everyone from the Investigation Bureau had already gathered outside the city.

They looked solemn, staring intently in the direction of the city gate.

"Team Leader Li, have the civilians been settled?"

An old voice filled with the sense of time slowly sounded from the center of the crowd; although the voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable majesty.

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Li did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent and hurriedly spoke toward the direction of the voice, his expression respectful.

"Director Niu, everyone has been transferred out by Xiaofei's spatial ability."

"Good."

After saying this,

Director Niu gazed at Linan City with eyes full of worry, murmuring to himself.

"If the Emperors do not come, I fear Linan City is in imminent danger."

Meanwhile, inside Linan City,

Qin Xiaogan walked to the square in the center of the city, just as he was about to take action.

Wang Yi's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Emperor Qin, the Emperors have arrived."

Qin Xiaogan's eyes flashed with a faint light upon hearing this.

"How many came?"

"Six... six of them."

"..."

"Very good."

Immediately after, Wang Yi's voice sounded again.

"Emperor Qin, according to the Marquis of Champions, the monk comes from Mount Athos, one of the three great forbidden zones."

Qin Xiaogan was silent for a moment, then said slowly.

"I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking,

A terrifying energy erupted from his body, spreading in all directions.

Houses began to shake, roof tiles fell off, and cracks appeared in the ground.

Seeing this scene, the people outside the city were greatly alarmed.

"No, this Qin Xiaogan is going to destroy Linan City!"

Just at this moment,

A sharp sound of breaking air suddenly came from the sky; the sound was like an arrow piercing the vault of heaven, extremely piercing.

Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked up.

They saw The Six Emperors speeding over like meteors, their figures wrapped in powerful momentum; wherever they passed, the airflow was stirred into constant turbulence.

"We are saved! Linan City is saved."

"The Emperors, it is the Emperors!"

The faces of the Investigation Bureau members involuntarily filled with undisguisable joy.

Team Leader Li stared fiercely at the city gate with a face full of hatred, his gaze as if it could pierce the city wall and pin itself directly onto the person inside.

"Demon Emperor! You and your Four Kings Pavilion have finally met your match."

He roared through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and resentment.

Ever since his girlfriend was mercilessly tortured and killed by Xie Xiyun.

His hatred for the Four Kings Pavilion had reached an insurmountable level.

Every cell seemed to be filled with hatred; whenever he thought of the Four Kings Pavilion, the anger in his heart burned fiercely and could not be extinguished.

Qin Xiaogan's ears twitched slightly; he keenly sensed something and immediately looked up at the sky.

He saw The Six Emperors looking down at him from above, their faces full of mockery, as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

With just one glance, they easily saw that Qin Xiaogan was only an Imperial-level Awakened, and still at the initial stage of the Imperial level.

This discovery not only made them breathe a sigh of relief, but their originally tense nerves instantly relaxed.

At the same time, they inadvertently developed a hint of contempt for Qin Xiaogan, feeling that the Demon Emperor was not to be feared at all.

Qin Xiaogan touched his nose, his expression calm, and said unhurriedly.

"You arrived quite quickly."

Emperor Zuo's mouth curled up, and he said playfully, "Lord Demon Emperor is truly calm; even in such a situation, you can remain so composed."

"Today, for us, The Six Emperors, to capture and kill you alone, you can be considered unique in the history of Great Zhou."

A hint of disdain showed in Emperor Zuo's eyes.

Qin Xiaogan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You talk too much nonsense."
