Martial Master

"Two inner gate elders of the Gui Xian Sect," Qin Chen said.

"Gui Xian Sect? And they are inner gate elders?"

Everyone was astonished.

"They thought I killed their Young Master, so they sent people to assassinate me. Moreover, the sect master of Gui Xian Sect is also in the royal capital; he should have gone to the Qin family."

"Gui Xian Sect's sect master?"

The two city guard soldiers gasped simultaneously.

To them, a sect master of a large sect like Gui Xian Sect was a gigantic figure, far beyond their reach, someone they could only look up to in the past.

If they truly came to kill, who could resist? Unless the number one expert of Da Qi Kingdom, Ling Wu Wang Xiao Zhan, intervened, but even then it would only be a possibility.

"Our Da Qi Kingdom is, after all, one of the five great powers in the northwest. His Majesty wouldn't allow them to act recklessly, right?"

The eyes of the two city guards flickered.

Qin Chen is the top genius of Da Qi Kingdom. If someone from Gui Xian Sect kills him in the royal capital, what face would Da Qi Kingdom have in the future among the five nations of the northwest?

"Perhaps," Qin Chen replied, not feeling so optimistic.

"The sect master of Gui Xian Sect definitely isn't a fool; it’s impossible for them to act so openly without some confidence."

"By the way, what happened to those two assassins?"

The two city guards couldn't help but look around, amazed that Qin Chen could survive against two inner gate elders of Gui Xian Sect.

"They're already dead," Qin Chen said lightly.

"Dead?!"

The two gasped, their eyes wide, completely stunned.

Two Xuan-level experts came to assassinate Young Chen and ended up dead?

The two stared at Qin Chen, nearly going mad.

Even with the help of a formation, Young Chen is too abnormal, right?

"Alright, I have a task for you two. Immediately inform King Kang about this news and have him meet with His Majesty to explain the situation," Qin Chen said solemnly upon seeing their shock.

"When I killed Nian Wuji, it was also to save Zixun. Zhao Gao should not sit idly by."

"Understood," the two replied, coming to their senses and quickly turning to leave.

"Chen'er, the situation is urgent. As you said, the sect master of Gui Xian Sect is also in the royal capital. If he learns that the assassination here has failed, he will definitely take matters into his own hands. We must leave here quickly and find a safer place."

Once the two city guards left, Qin Yuechi said seriously.

"Where can we find a safer place?"

Qin Chen forced a smile.

"King Kang's residence, Alchemy Pavilion, Bloodline Sacred Ground, or the Imperial Palace!"

Qin Yuechi suggested.

"That's useless." Qin Chen shook his head. "Although I don't know how strong Gui Xian Sect is, being called the top sect in the northwest means they certainly have their strengths. Mother, the places you mentioned may be strong, but I can't expect others to fight Gui Xian Sect for our sake. Moreover, since they have the courage to come here, they must be prepared and won't let us pass easily."

"Since Gui Xian Sect has made a move, they must have a foolproof plan. Otherwise, how could they dare to enter the royal capital of Da Qi Kingdom?"

"Remember, Gui Xian Sect entering the royal capital to kill is a blatant slap to Da Qi Kingdom's face. If Zhao Gao is ruthless and decisive, mobilizing all the experts in the capital to encircle and eliminate the people from Gui Xian Sect, once the sect master and other experts are killed, wouldn’t that mean exterminating the entire sect?"

"After all, sects are different from countries. Once the top experts like the sect master die, the sect becomes like loose sand, scattered and exposed, vulnerable to slaughter."

"Thus, they must have considered these situations before daring to come."

"Moreover, places like Alchemy Pavilion hold a terrifying status in Da Qi Kingdom, solely due to their strong backing, rather than because they possess experts capable of opposing the entire Da Qi Kingdom."

"Otherwise, the title of the number one expert in Da Qi Kingdom wouldn't fall on Ling Wu Wang Xiao Zhan."
