84: Chapter 84 The Unsettled Heavenly Imperial City, Xia Jin Awakens

Two men, one fat and one thin, both dressed in white robes, crashed through the screen and simultaneously swung their swords at the Dragon Guard captain!

"It seems you, the crown prince, have yet to see the situation clearly. If you won't surrender obediently, you'll need to be taught a lesson!" The Dragon Guard captain curled his lips, his ghost mask appearing even more ferocious in that moment.

With a simple arc drawn in front of him, the long blade in his hand forcefully deflected both sword beams at once!

"Clang! Clang!"

The blast of Qi generated by their exchange forced the crown prince to step back involuntarily.

"This person has some skill; don't hold back!" The tall, thin man's face turned serious, and he nodded at his companion.

"Right!"

Their figures swerved within the great hall, attacking the Dragon Guard captain from the left and right simultaneously.

"Hmm? This Move feels somewhat familiar."

After taking a few blows head-on, the Dragon Guard captain narrowed his eyes slightly. The force transmitted from their swords was stacking layer upon layer, making his arms feel faintly numb.

"I wondered who it was; so it's you two! The Lieyang Dynasty Blood Blade Division, the 'Flaming Sun Twin Swords'?" The captain suddenly sneered, a flash of his blade shaking the two of them off.

He looked up and down at the two unremarkable faces before him. "I say, why aren't you two staying in your Lieyang Dynasty instead of coming to my Daqian to meddle? Are you looking for death?"

The fat and thin pair exchanged glances, a flicker of seriousness appearing in their eyes.

It wasn't because their identities had been exposed, but because the opponent still had strength to spare despite their joint assault.

"Senior Brother, this person's strength... I fear he has already stepped into the Spirit Wandering Realm." The somewhat thin man looked at his companion and said in a low voice.

"We shouldn't prolong this fight. Take the crown prince and leave first!"

"Right!"

The two retreated directly to the side of Lu Chenzhou, who was in front of the Dragon throne!

"Your Highness, let's go!"

They whispered, then simultaneously grabbed one of Lu Chenzhou's arms, turning into two white shadows as they slammed into the window on the side of the great hall!

"You want to run just because you can't beat me? Not so easy! Don't you know this is Tianyu City?" The Dragon Guard captain sneered, sheathing his long blade and signaling to a Dragon Guard beside him.

The Dragon Guard member understood and rushed out the door.

A signal arrow shot into the sky with a sharp whistle, soaring a hundred zhang high before exploding into a burst of fireworks!

"Chase them!" With the Dragon Guard captain's order, the remaining Dragon Guards instantly withdrew from the Crown Prince's mansion and sped off in the direction where the two white shadows had vanished.

Tonight, many in Tianyu City were destined to be sleepless.

Because the same scene was playing out in the mansions of powerful figures all over the city.

Inside the mansion of the Second Prince Lu Guinan, it was also a mess, but different from the situation at the Crown Prince Lu Chenzhou's place.

Here, it was the few Dragon Guards who had suddenly broken in that lay fallen, and on their corpses, the wounds were tinged with an eerie greenish-black.

Lu Guinan looked gloomily at the remaining Dragon Guards in front, while beside him, a tall figure cloaked in black robes stared at the same spot with an indifferent expression.

"Colluding with the Three Northern Frontier Kingdoms, planting cronies, and causing chaos at the border... Second Prince, please come with us." Opposite the Second Prince, another Dragon Guard captain spoke, his eyes fixed on the black-robed figure with a hint of wariness.

"You lot, either get lost now, or die!"

"This is Tianyu City! Although Your Excellency is strong, this is not a place where you can act recklessly!" The Dragon Guard's expression instantly turned icy.

"Then die!" A murderous intent flashed in the black-robed figure's eyes, and his figure vanished again. Wherever he passed, two more Dragon Guards fell with muffled groans.

At the same time, he sent the Dragon Guard captain flying with a single palm strike.

"Second Prince, let's go!" Having succeeded in his strike, the black-robed figure did not linger. He grabbed Lu Guinan and drifted backward, disappearing from the Second Prince's mansion in a few leaps, speeding toward the northern border.

The mansions of other princes and royal relatives were also broken into by the Dragon Guards.

Most of them were either taken away for interrogation or had their homes turned upside down in search of evidence of their crimes.

For a time, crying and shouting echoed throughout Tianyu City.

Amidst the turmoil in the city, the mansion of the Third Prince, located in the west of the city, was rather quiet.

A few Dragon Guards entered as a matter of routine, searched a few rooms casually, and left early.

This Third Prince, who had always been weak and sickly with little presence, had no background to speak of. He could count the court officials he associated with on one hand, so there was really no need to search his place.

"Er Niu, let's go, let's go check that place out!" The last Dragon Guard to leave the Third Prince's mansion grabbed his companion and pointed to the mansion next to the Third Prince's.

"Brother Hu? What's there to see?" Er Niu frowned as he looked at the ordinary mansion to the side.

"You really are stupid..." Brother Hu leaned into the other's ear and whispered a few words.

"Hehehe! Brother Hu, you really know how to play! In that case, we'll each take a beauty, but I want to choose Consort Shu!" Er Niu grinned, a lewd smile appearing on his face.

"You're even being picky? Fine, I'll let you have her this time!" Brother Hu shook his head helplessly.

But they never expected that Luo Qinghe and the others, who were impersonating Consort Shu, had already left this mansion an hour ago.

Following their intrusion and the killing of a few clueless servants with a single blade strike, the other servants and maids in the mansion were terrified and didn't dare to stop the two vicious stars.

"Strange, why can't we find Consort Shu?" Er Niu, looking displeased, stormed into the backyard and kicked open one of the room doors.

"Bang!"

Inside the room, an old servant with graying hair was holding a damp cloth, carefully wiping the arm of Xia Jin, who was lying on the bed in a 'coma'.

The sudden loud noise made him shudder, and the damp cloth dropped to the floor.

At this moment, Xia Jin's consciousness had actually long since awakened, but the injuries to his internal organs had not yet fully recovered, so he simply continued to feign unconsciousness, letting the Nine Turns Creation Sutra repair his Physical Body.

Er Niu glanced at Xia Jin and asked with a frown, "Old thing, who is this lying on the bed?"

The old servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, seemingly hesitant, but finally answered with a trembling voice, "Re-reporting to, to the master... this... this is my nephew. He came to visit me last month, and he, he accidentally fell from a high place and hit his head, and he has been in a coma ever since. Consort Shu is kind-hearted and allowed him to stay here to recover..."

"Nephew? Hmph! Your expression just now seems to be lying!" Er Niu had seen the old servant's reaction clearly. He sneered and walked toward the bedside. "Let this master give your nephew a proper check-up!"

"Master! Master, you cannot! His body is weak, he cannot withstand any jostling..." In his desperation, the old servant actually tried to come over to stop Er Niu.

"Get lost!" Er Niu impatiently raised his hand, intending to slap the blind old servant away.

But just as his fingers were about to touch the other person.

A hand from behind gripped his wrist like an iron pincer.

"Do you... want to die?"
