As the sword light appeared, the Lord Warden Commander already knew who it was. Currently in the Divine Capital, there was probably only one sword immortal of this caliber.

Perhaps the Lord Warden Commander alone could contain the entire Xia Family, but with the presence of these cultivators in Xia Family, there might be some problems.

Now, this sword light was also reminding the Lord Warden Commander that he could speak up sometimes when necessary.

While Liu Banbi had been killing demons in the Northern Frontier for many years, it did not mean he only knew how to kill demons. Killing humans was never a difficult matter for a sword cultivator.

The Lord Warden Commander looked at the few cultivators in front of him without speaking. He just stood in place, waiting for the arrival of the important person behind them.

He was not in a hurry to take action because the Divine Capital was under martial law tonight, and no cultivator could come and go as they pleased.

Before long, an old man with a withered face finally arrived. He wore a plain gray robe and did not seem to belong to any sect. As the old man arrived at the scene and glanced at the Lord Warden Commander whose blood vitality was surging, his aged face showed some confusion. "Lord Warden Commander came here personally... It seems everything is under control?"

As an old monster who had cultivated for many years, the old man naturally would not have any different thoughts about the current situation. However, even though things had come to this, there were still some words that needed to be said.

The Lord Warden Commander looked at the old man whose identity and lineage was destined to remain a mystery, and smiled. "Once you enter the Divine Capital, some principles no longer apply. Here, only the laws of the Great Liang Dynasty hold sway."

The old man sighed with vicissitudes of emotion and shook his head. "There are no laws of the Great Liang Dynasty or rules of the foreign lands. In fact, the rules in the world are all the same: whoever has the bigger fist, is in the right."

The Lord Warden Commander did not refute. Ultimately, it came down to this principle, no matter how much saliva you waste.

The Lord Warden Commander said calmly, "Say it. Perhaps after we're done talking, this official might really let you go."

The old man shook his head. "I naturally can't tell Lord Warden Commander where I come from. But does Lord Warden Commander truly dare to kill us?"

His words left much unsaid, but it was clear that the Lord Warden Commander understood.

The Lord Warden Commander asked, "You guys plotted to assassinate His Majesty. If I let you go just like that, how will I justify it?"

The old man paid no attention, simply saying slowly, "This incident hasn't happened yet, so no matter how you put it, there's no proof. Of course, evidence doesn't seem to matter much to us. If you let us go today, you'll naturally gain something. But if you insist on forcefully making us stay... I'm afraid the consequences will be too much for the Great Liang Dynasty to bear."

When the old man spoke earlier, the faces of the few cultivators looked grim. But now, as the old man continued, their expressions returned to normal.

In this world, there were rarely black-and-white situations. What existed was endless entanglement of interests. As long as the interests were negotiated properly, nothing was constant.

The Lord Warden Commander was in no rush to speak. However, the atmosphere was not quiet. Despite the continuous heavy snowfall, the sounds of battle around them were far from quiet. The retainers from the Heavenly Imperial Institution and the Warden's Office had already launched an attack on this Xia Family's private estate. The outcome of tonight's events was already predetermined; the Xia Family would definitely be uprooted, and the entire dynasty would surely face a tremendous upheaval. The only uncertainty lay in whether these disciples could safely leave the Divine Capital.

This was the uncertain thing tonight.

The Lord Warden Commander did not speak, narrowing his eyes and turning to look in a certain direction.

From the shadows, another figure walked out.

This was the second Nepenthe cultivator hidden within the Xia Family.

The Lord Warden Commander sighed, "You foreign cultivators are really generous. These Nepenthe cultivators who are regarded as immortals by people, you guys sent two of them."

The cultivator who walked out appeared younger and also more hot-tempered compared to the old man. Looking at the Lord Warden Commander, he just smiled coldly and said, "Ning Ping, do you really think you can keep us in the Divine Capital? Aren't you afraid that the Divine Capital will be trampled the next day?"

Hearing these words, the old man's expression turned somewhat ugly, but he ultimately did not say anything. 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The Lord Warden Commander looked puzzled. "Is this your attitude when begging for mercy?"

The old man did not speak, but the other person flew into a rage, "Just an uncouth martial artist, why would we beg you?"

He glared at the Lord Warden Commander, as if ready to strike and kill the Lord Warden Commander of the Great Liang Dynasty right then and there.

The Lord Warden Commander said, "In that case, this official can only kill you guys."

His tone was devoid of any emotional fluctuations, as if he were making an ordinary statement; nothing to be surprised about. (f)reenovelkiss.com

But before either of them could respond, the Lord Warden Commander looked up at the sky and chuckled. "The remaining one will be left to Sword Immortal Liu. It's not convenient for this official to get away. His Majesty about to enter the city, it wouldn't be proper to keep His Majesty waiting too long."

This remark was undoubtedly directed at the two people opposite him.

The old man's expression turned solemn, and the other person's expression also became somewhat ugly.

No one answered, but there was a flash of sword light, and then it was gone.

Not far from the Xia Family, there was a low courtyard where Liu Banbi hurried over. As a scholar of the academy, he would need to seek permission from the Dean before taking any action. However, having spent many years in the Northern Frontier, Liu Banbi was practically considered part of the imperial court; different from the typical academy disciples.

Standing before the door, Liu Banbi did not have the patience to knock politely. Instead, a burst of sword qi instantly surged out, directly slicing the wooden door into two halves before he entered the courtyard.

But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a middle-aged woman with a frosty look emerged from the house.

Liu Banbi sized her up and said with a sigh, "A woman?"

The middle-aged woman was enraged when she heard that, but sensing the overwhelming sword intent that currently blotted out the skies and covered the earth, she felt a chilling sensation enveloping her entire body.

She almost forgot that the man in front of her, dressed in green, was a genuine sword immortal.

Sword immortal, the ones with the greatest killing power among cultivators!

The middle-aged woman also knew who the man in front of her was.

Liu Banbi, the sword immortal from the academy, who had been killing demons in the Northern Frontier prior to this.

"Sword Immortal Liu..."

The middle-aged woman hesitated to speak, a little nervous, which resulted in her appearing somewhat nervous.

Just as the middle-aged woman was feeling nervous, Liu Banbi suddenly said, "I've never killed a woman yet."

This sentence directly interrupted the words the middle-aged woman was about to say.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief. Engaging in combat with such a sword immortal was not a particularly good thing for her.

Among cultivators, sword cultivators had the strongest killing power, and not many people were willing to provoke them.

However, what Liu Banbi said next immediately extinguished any remaining hope in her heart.

"But it's okay, everyone has to go through it the first time."
