Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6298: Chief Commander

There were seven floors, and each floor was divided into levels.

Chang Feng was the commander of the Golden Crow Guards, and he could directly go to the seventh floor.

This place towered into the clouds, and there were huge floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed one to see the entire Imperial Palace and even Great Peace City.

It was also the tallest building in the entire palace.

From this building, it could be seen how highly the Zhanxian Guards had been regarded by the Emperor.

Unfortunately, these years, the monarch and his subjects were somewhat separated.

Chang Feng arrived at the seventh level. He looked at the tall and sturdy figure in a black cloak standing by the window and sighed.” Commander, His Majesty wants us to leave this matter alone. Do you think we should still investigate this matter?”

The stalwart man by the window didnʼt say anything. He kept looking out the window.

After a long while, he said indifferently, ”Then donʼt bother!”.

”But!” Chang Feng was somewhat unconvinced.

Facing the Han Palace and the Emperor, he did not dare to throw such a small tantrum.

However, the commander who had established the Zhanxian Guards was like the master of all the Zhanxian Guardss. No matter what happened, they did not dare to hide anything, not even their emotions.

Just like now, Chang Feng was acting according to his nature.

”The Devil Cult is wreaking havoc and His Majesty is indulging it. If this continues, the world will probably be in chaos. This goes against the teachings of the previous emperor and our ancestors. Why must we blindly tolerate it? Could it be that three years ago...”

Before Chang Feng could finish, he was interrupted by the commander.” Enough!”

When the calm commander heard the words ʼthree yearsʼ, his body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath before calming down.

”Call Yang Xiao to see me. I have my own arrangements for the rest!” There was a strange look in the commanderʼs deep eyes.

Even though Chang Feng still wanted to say something, he could only leave helplessly.

Below the Imperial City.

Outside the palace.

This was the gathering place of the nobles of Great Peace City.

It was also the core of the entire dynasty.

Most of the people who could live here were members of the royal family, and some of them were officials of the imperial court. All of them were officials of the third rank and above.

Therefore, most of the Imperial City was filled with deep courtyards. There were very few small courtyards. Even if there were a few small courtyards, they were all people with noble statuses.

The drizzle gradually turned into a downpour.

In the rainy night, people rushed and the clouds moved in all directions.

Although the Tang Emperor was indifferent to this matter, the Immortal Slaying Troop did not relax at all. They continued to patrol the entire Imperial City with the highest alert. Swoosh!

A group of figures flew past the roof of a large courtyard.

One of the figures paused for a moment.

”Leave two people to guard the princessʼs manor!”

”Yes, sir!”

Two black-robed figures instantly descended and hid in the princessʼs manor.

The rest of them gradually disappeared in the heavy rain.

After they had walked far away, three figures suddenly appeared behind a fake mountain in the princessʼs manor.

This was a secret passage in the rockery.

However, it had been abandoned for a long time. Even many people in the manor did not know about it and had long forgotten about it, let alone those Zhanxian Guardss.

This was a very suitable place to hide.

Coincidentally, a Five-Coin Golden Snake Guard had also hidden himself here.

It happened to be hiding in the same place as Jian Wushuang and the other two. ”Brother Wushuang, should we kill him?”Xiang Yangʼs eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Jian Wushuang rolled his eyes and said,” Didnʼt you hear what they said?” This is the princessʼs manor, so itʼs best to be careful. Since he didnʼt notice us...”

Before he could finish, Jian Wushuangʼs face darkened.

”Not good!”

He was the first to attack. He condensed his Psyche Power into a single point. Although he had lost a lot of it because of the previous burning, it was still more than enough to deal with a mid-stage Aurous Core cultivator. However, this attack carried the threat of being discovered. This was the Imperial City, so there might be a Nascent Soul cultivator watching this place from the shadows.

Although his Psyche Power had already been burned once, it wasnʼt a problem for him to hide from the Nascent Soul stage. However, once he started fighting, if even a trace of his aura leaked out, he might be discovered. Moreover, he couldnʼt kill the captured Celestial Execution Guards, or else he would be traced to their hiding place.

Therefore, Jian Wushuang didnʼt prepare to attack. However, the other party discovered his position at a close distance.

Jian Wushuangʼs expression changed drastically. A Mid Gold Core Realm expert would not be able to detect them. However, the other party was able to detect them. He must have a rare

treasure.

”Freeze!”

Jian Wushuang pointed his finger and the dim light penetrated the manʼs forehead, directly stunning his soul.

”Cripple his cultivation first!” As soon as he gave the order, Xiang Yang instantly attacked.

He directly crushed the Golden Core of the Five Coins Golden Snake Guard.

Xiang Yangʼs movements are very fast. In just an instant, he has broken the other partyʼs

golden core.

”Phew!”

Jian Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his hand to signal the two of them to step back and walked over alone.

”Now, answer whatever I ask. If you understand, nod your head!”

The Golden Snake Guard standing in the corner nodded his head stiffly. His eyes were empty,

as if he had been enslaved.

Jian Wushuangʼs powerful Psyche Power had shattered the other partyʼs consciousness, leaving only the memories in his sea of consciousness. In this way, he could ask the other party what he wanted to know and ensure that the other party would not die.

This way, the Zhanxian Guards wouldnʼt notice.

However, there was also a drawback. If the Zhanxian Guards couldnʼt find this person, they would definitely send someone else.

Moreover, he had only controlled one of the two remaining Immortal Execution Guards, the Golden Snake Guard. To be on the safe side, Jian Wushuang had to deal with the other one.

”Are there any Nascent Soul cultivators in the Celestial Slaying Troop?” Jian Wushuang asked

the first question.

He was also quite curious if there were any Nascent Soul cultivators in the Zhanxian Guards. If there were, he would have to be extra careful.

”Yes, the commander is a False Nascent Soul cultivator!” The Golden Snake Guard replied like

a puppet.

”Fake Nascent Soul?”

Jian Wushuang was a little surprised. He would have been calm if it was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. After all, there were many late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators in the Immortal Slaying Troop, so it was normal for them to have Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, he did not expect the commander to be a False Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Fake Nascent Soul cultivators were different from Nascent Soul cultivators.

At the very least, there was a huge difference in their combat strength and cultivation level.

It was more accurate to call it a dead Nascent Soul cultivator because the Nascent Soul had yet to form and had become a dead Nascent Soul. Generally speaking, this kind of cultivator would explode and die. However, if they prepared treasures in advance to maintain their breathing, they could save their lives, but they would also lose all their cultivation.

To be able to condense a dead infant, the other party must have some kind of unique

inheritance.

This inheritance was nothing to Jian Wushuang. He had ten thousand ways to deal with it. However, for a mortal cultivator to obtain such an inheritance, it was obvious that he was not

simple.

Jian Wushuang asked a lot of questions about the commander, such as his age and characteristics, and what kind of cultivation method he practiced.

Initially, he had thought that he would be fishing for fish with a big net and ask more

questions. He did not care if he could answer them or not. However, he did not expect him to ask so many questions.
