”Great Immortal Realm!?”

When Qin Tian used the impact of his powerful True Qi to awe Sun Changqing and his eight men, Sun Changqing landed with a look of shock in his eyes.

”A Great Immortal Realm at this age... hmph...”

Sun Changqing stared at Qin Tian, a more intense killing intent on his face!

”Form the array!”

He shouted, and six of his men instantly leaped into the sky, each holding a longsword. With the incantation from these people, streams of Sword Qi emerged and directly connected into a dazzling light ring!

”Kill!”

Sun Changqing roared, and those six people’s Sword Qi crisscrossed, bringing the Sword Qi light ring straight down towards Qin Tian from the sky!

”Is this all you’ve got? You can’t kill me!”

Seeing their Sword Array, Qin Tian grinned and immediately brought out the Red Sword, advancing towards the six people!

Simultaneously, Zhao Wudao and Sun Changqing exchanged a glance and attacked together, pouncing directly at Qin Tian from both sides.

In an instant, eight people surrounded Qin Tian, waves surged by East Lake, Kuang Feng swept!

Slash!

The battle lasted less than three minutes, and with a sweep of Qin Tian’s Red Sword, he directly killed one person, breaking their tightly-knit Sword Array!

”Huh?”

Sun Changqing was stunned, obviously not expecting Qin Tian to break his subordinates’ seamless Sword Array so quickly, but before he could recover—

Slash!

Chop!

Wrapped in the red glow of Sword Qi, Qin Tian launched continuous attacks, switching from defense to offense, cutting down three people in succession!

The swiftness of the attack, the ruthlessness of the Swordsmanship, left Sun Changqing and Zhao Wudao dumbfounded!

Gasp!

Both of them gasped in unison, their expressions changing instantly!

”The cost of trying to kill me is death!”

A wild wind howled, and before Sun Changqing and Zhao Wudao could react, a red curtain of light straightly descended from the sky!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sun Changqing and Zhao Wudao fought hard to resist, but as Qin Tian’s red glow pressed down, they fought and retreated, gradually unable to withstand it!

”I greatly underestimated his fighting power! Too strong!”

At this point, Sun Changqing deeply regretted his rash promise to the Ninth Prince to kill Qin Tian.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Crimson glows flashed almost simultaneously across Zhao Wudao and Sun Changqing’s throats.

Then, blood spurted from their throats as their bodies fell simultaneously!

Plop!

Sun Changqing and Zhao Wudao plunged into East Lake, blood rising to the surface, and their bodies sank to the bottom, never to rise again.

Qin Tian sheathed his Red Sword and slowly landed.

He spoke quietly, ”The Fourth Prince’s people should be taking the stage now.”

”Men, surround everyone!”

”Capture the survivors! How dare they attempt to assassinate the Marquis of Pingxi! Leave none alive!”

”At the lake bottom! I saw someone jump in to escape; get down there and fish them out!”

Li Shuang rushed over with a thousand elite soldiers. By this time, of Sun Changqing’s six men, four had been killed by Qin Tian, leaving two seriously injured.

Seeing this, the two tried to commit suicide, but Li Shuang’s speed was faster than they anticipated, subduing them with force before they could do so.

Confidently, he directed his subordinates to guard the two closely to prevent further suicide attempts.

Simultaneously, he dispatched hundreds to jump into East Lake to retrieve bodies from the bottom.

In less than half an hour, Sun Changqing and Zhao Wudao’s bodies were recovered.

”How despicable, Zhao Wudao, the City Lord, colluding with unknown Assassins to attempt to kill the Marquis of Pingxi! Truly insane!”

”Men, take their bodies down for preservation and prepare to send them to the Imperial City.”

”Also, interrogate those two well. Once the information is extracted, write it up and send it to the Imperial City for the lords there to make the final judgment.”

After arranging everything, Li Shuang walked over to Qin Tian, who had been left standing for several dozen minutes, and asked with concern, ”Marquis of Pingxi, are you alright? Are you injured?”

”No,”

Qin Tian replied, ”Fortunately, you arrived in time, General Li, otherwise...”

”There’s no otherwise. Marquis of Pingxi has excellent skills, already killing them before my arrival. Haha, from now on, I think no one will dare easily plot against the Marquis of Pingxi again.”

Li Shuang seemed to be in a good mood.

Qin Tian looked back at him and said, ”General Li, Zhao Wudao has been dealt with. Next, shouldn’t we deal with the Deputy City Lord, Liang Yulong?”

Qin Tian knew clearly that the Fourth Prince’s instructions for him and Li Shuang to go to the East Capital likely involved not just eliminating those under the Ninth Prince but also the Crown Prince’s people.

After Zhao Wudao, it should be Liang Yulong!

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Li Shuang seemed momentarily surprised, but he didn’t pretend ignorance. Instead, he smiled and said, ”The Marquis of Pingxi is extraordinarily wise. There’s nothing for me to hide. Zhao Wudao attacked the Marquis of Pingxi with solid evidence. His death is deserved.”

”As for Liang Yulong, the City Lord... frankly speaking, Liang Yulong is just a scholar. With Zhao Wudao’s fall, I think he will probably take action on his own, requiring no intervention from us...”

Li Shuang spoke directly, ”Don’t misunderstand, Marquis of Pingxi. We are not purging dissenters. We serve the Ice Emperor, eliminating those disloyal to him. Among them, the Marquis of Pingxi knows well who harbors betrayal.”

”Hehe,”

Qin Tian simply faintly replied to Li Shuang, thinking to himself, ”Indeed, I really do understand now who truly harbors a wolf’s ambition!”

It must be said that the happenings in the East Capital seemed scripted exactly as Qin Tian predicted and as Li Shuang mentioned.

Two days after Zhao Wudao’s body was sent to the Imperial City, Deputy City Lord Liang Yulong, as Li Shuang foresaw, resigned, citing family mourning.

It seemed as if the Imperial Decree was already prepared. Not long after, both a new City Lord and Deputy City Lord were dispatched to East Capital City.

The new City Lord, Wang Qin, on his first day, visited Li Shuang first, then Qin Tian, pledging loyalty, ”The troops in East Capital City are at the Marquis of Pingxi’s disposal. I, Wang, am willing to fully cooperate, answering any request!”

The loyalty was clearly stated, but unfortunately, after the drastic changes in East Capital City, the war in East State inexplicably came to an end—

The Dragon Clan withdrew their troops, and the East State war, lasting less than two months, ended directly.

This war resulted in total casualties of fewer than ten thousand on both sides, making it one of the strangest battles in history.

Only Qin Tian, profoundly shocked, understood the situation.
