Chapter 357: Chapter 301: The Heir of Beiliang and the Lady of the Imperial Capital (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2

Stunning horses trampled snow without leaving a trace, galloping across the fields; some had manes as fiery as clouds, some shone like silver stars, exhaling twin streams of white vapor with sparks flying from their nostrils.

Atop these horses were armored soldiers clad in dark purple armor, emitting a fierce aura, terrifying as if they were demons, and each possessed the Profound Body Cultivation.

The armored soldiers formed two lines, with a black-base Qilin stepping-on-sun flag flapping vigorously amid the blizzard in the center, emblazoned with the character "Liang."

Between the two columns of hundreds of troops, there stood a palanquin adorned with splendid fabrics and topped with an embroidered canopy featuring Qilin amid auspicious clouds.

Flanking the palanquin were ten individuals, men and women alike, each riding either a majestic or a fierce exotic beast, all guarding closely around the palanquin.

These ten individuals emitted an aura all possessing the Heavenly Barrier Cultivation, with a full spirit platform and eyes emitting captivating Essence Qi.

Ten Heavenly Pass Experts, with the force equivalent to one or even two prominent families in Jingguan City, were merely guarding this palanquin.

This clearly indicated the distinguished identity of the person within the palanquin!

The caravan continued galloping for miles until, in the snowy wind ahead, the sound of horses emerged.

With the horse sounds drawing nearer, one of the armored soldiers in dark purple armor gradually became visible.

"Hu!"

The great horse arrived at the front of the group, neighing as it reared up, and the rider immediately leaped off, swiftly approaching the palanquin and kneeling on one knee, reporting with a fist: ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Princely Heir, we are thirty miles away from Jingguan City. However, the city gate is currently under martial law, and everyone entering or leaving must undergo inspection."

"My investigation reveals that Jingguan City has been troubled lately, with several families colluding with Human Demons. Presently, the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel from Jiannan Road is stationed here, enforcing martial law and hunting the remaining traitors!"

As the news from the scouting armored soldier concluded, a calm voice with a hint of amusement emerged from the palanquin.

"Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!"

"This name truly resonates like thunder. Ever since entering Shu from the Tianxiong Pass, it has been frequently mentioned. Interesting."

Then, calling out a name,

"Vice Minister Wu!"

Judging from the tone of the voice, the man inside the palanquin seemed to tilt his head slightly to the right as he spoke.

Following this, seen from the back right, one of the five Heavenly Pass experts, riding a giant black panther about three meters long, moved forward to the right side of the palanquin.

This person, dressed in a purple brocade robe with a concealed pattern embroidered on the robe’s hem and tied up high, wore a black jade hairpin in his hair; his slender figure and narrow face had slightly upturned brows, carrying a faintly noticeable malevolent air, appearing to be in his forties.

This man named "Vice Minister Wu," with a slightly stern brow and a respectful face, spoke to the Princely Heir, "Your Highness, for what do you summon me?"

The person in the palanquin’s tone carried a hint of indifference,

"You said Xiahou Yuan was killed on the streets of Tianxiong Pass by this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, and the covert operatives you arranged were also eliminated by him."

"Has this person ever seen your face?"

With these words, the background of this group was clearly revealed.

They were troops from Liangzhou!

And from the titles used, the person in the palanquin was none other than the Royal Beiliang Mansion’s Princely Heir.

This Vice Minister Wu had indeed interacted with Chen Yuan.

In those days, when the fleeing Xiahou Yuan plotted with Wu in the Heavenly Fragrance Building at Tianxiong Pass, they were noticed by the newly arrived Chen Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan was slain by Chen Yuan right on the street; Vice Minister Wu escaped amidst the chaos. To capture him, Chen Yuan then experienced the subsequent events in the Heavenly Fragrance Building, met An Ge, and with An Ge’s help, destroyed a Transmission Array they had set up in the mountains outside the city.

This array was later replicated by Liu Qing and her two companions under Chen Yuan, playing a crucial role in the battle at Weiyuan Pass!

The connections were intricate and numerous.

Called Wu Chang, Vice Minister Wu felt a chill at the question from the Princely Heir, while his mind raced through myriad thoughts.

Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, on that day at Tianxiong Pass, wiped out three families and was referred to as Hell King Chen, sending him fleeing in embarrassment back to Liangzhou; at that time, Wu received plenty of mockery and scorn from the Beiliang Sect’s Guests, breeding resentment in his heart.

Later, when he heard the name of Ninth Mountain’s Colonel again, all that was left in his heart was fear, instead of resentment and killing intent.

In the Demon Battlefield of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he made a name for himself, shaking the entire Shu region, and even caught the ears of interested parties in the neighboring Liangzhou.

He has already been promoted to Martial Vault, ranking among the Great Divine Power!

At this moment, when asked about this by the Princely Heir, his heart trembled slightly, "Replying to the Princely Heir, I do not know the specifics. This person’s Divine Skills are unpredictable; Brother Xiahou and I were discussing important matters secretly in a building, very far away yet he was targeted by this person in an instant. I was also implicated. Later, a Transmission Array I arranged outside the city in a hidden place was destroyed. I think it must be this person’s doing, but I really don’t know how he found out about such secret matters without us even having any contact."

As Wu Chang spoke, he could not understand and only witnessed Chen Yuan’s strange methods of locking onto Xiahou Yuan, naturally attributing it to the other’s unpredictable Divine Skills.

But the next moment, the voice of the Princely Heir came from the carriage, coldly, "Which building were you discussing in at that time?"

Now, it was Wu Chang’s turn to be surprised by the eyebrows, "Your Highness suspects our identities were exposed related to people in that building?"

"I remember it’s a place called Heavenly Fragrance Building just south of Tianxiong Pass!"

He spoke with a hint of reminiscence.

"Hmph, who knows!" A cold laugh came from the carriage.

Hearing this, Wu Chang’s eyebrows raised, and with a probing tone, he asked, "Princely Heir, shall we send someone to investigate?"

"After all, Tianxiong Pass is a major route in the Central Plains."

The voice inside pondered for a moment, "Nevermind, right now in Shu, the Essence Qi is gathering, and the heavens and earth are nurturing opportunities; it’s not suitable to be distracted by these minor matters. Just send a message to a few obedient individuals in the Western Regions; with such a big change occurring in Shu, they must have received the news but are inconvenient to show up. Just have them check on their way into Shu."

Tianxiong Pass is the border area connecting Liangzhou, Western Regions, and Central Plains. Liangzhou borders the vast areas of the Western Regions, and the Royal Beiliang Mansion has been commanded to defend the Western Regions generation after generation, resisting the barbarians outside the border, and has had many battles with the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of Western Regions for many years.

"Yes!" Wu Chang responded; then thinking of something, his expression hesitated, but he still spoke, "Princely Heir, now that the Colonel is guarding Jingguan City because of this incident, this person has become an enemy to us, fearing trouble, should we still sneak into the city?"

At this remark, a suddenly old voice burst from the carriage, carrying a severe reprimand.

"Shut up!"

"How dare you have the Princely Heir stoop to dealing with a mere Jiannan Road’s Colonel!"

"Are you seeking death."

Hearing this reprimand, Wu Chang only felt as if his body was frozen by the winds and snow between heaven and earth; his blood seemed to solidify, his eyes showed fear, and he lowered his head.

"I dare not!"

"Never mind, you meant well; this Princely Heir is not yet afraid of a Colonel, even if this person is Martial Vault!"

"Let’s continue on, and enter the city." Inside the carriage, the young Princely Heir’s voice rose again, carrying a trace of dominance and resoluteness.

As his words finished, suddenly that old voice in the carriage exclaimed.

"There’s an expert!"

"In the sky."

Following the conversation, the view stretched a thousand meters above the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and amid the bleak whiteness of the heavens and earth, a brilliant trail of firelight pierced through the wind and snow.

A tremendously huge, fierce-looking firebird with wings spread thirty zhang appeared, its light blazing fast, tearing through the snowy sky. This bird, red as fire, shaped like a crane with three legs, its body radiantly filled with divine lights, had the powerful aura of a Heavenly Pass Taoist pinnacle.

On this powerful firebird, a woman dressed in blue palace attire, with an extremely attractive figure and phoenix eyes, also looked down.

Through the snowstorm, she saw the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry below on the plains!

In the charming phoenix eyes of the woman, there was a hint of a smile.

"Liangzhou Iron Cavalry?"

"It seems Shu is about to get lively."

"I wonder how Little Sister Qin is doing now?"
