Chapter 736: Chapter 675: The Great Battle at the Palace Gate!_2
Grand Offerer Lu did not believe that a promise from a young Cultivator of the Spiritual Platform Realm held any value.
But he also knew that Zhang San was Pharaoh’s closest disciple and the future leader of Legalism.
Moreover, he hailed from the Town Martial Office.
It could be said that this man’s future prospects were imasurable.
Making good karma was not a bad thing.
“The affair today has erupted and has yet to be resolved. Should there be an order from the Kaihuang to utilize the power of the Offering Hall, I hope Grand Offerer Lu could send so of those Offerers you find displeasing to carry out the task. Or maybe, the ones you send could be defeated without leaving any traces. Grand Offerer Lu, do you understand my aning?”
Lu Qianqiu naturally understood. Although the Town Martial Office was Kaihuang’s, with Xin Shuxiang’s temperant, this matter was unlikely to be left as is.
Should a conflict arise by any chance, the Town Martial Office could not possibly act against its own people.
When the ti ca for the Offering Hall to take action, even Xin Shuxiang might not be able to withstand it.
Zhang San sought him out about this matter, hoping to give Xin Shuxiang a chance.
Although this was not his own affair, he had not expected Zhang San to take such a keen interest in matters concerning Xin Shuxiang.
There had been rumors before that Xin Shuxiang intended to matchmake his daughter with Zhang San, which he had taken as a joke. After all, who didn’t know that the woman Zhang San fancied was a Little Fox Demon? But now, it seed there might be so aspects of the situation that he was not aware of.
So, Lu Qianqiu gave a slight nod.
Then he left with the other Offerers.
Watching the backs of everyone leaving, Zhang San standing in front of the Imperial Palace suddenly felt raindrops falling from the sky.
The spring rain ca with cold wind.
Zhang San lifted his head to look at the gloomy sky and the drifting rain.
The Great Sui’s first spring rain was very cold.
…
Cao Deng ca over, taking Zhang San to rest while also wanting to inquire about so things.
Cao Deng knew that the reason he had managed to stay by Kaihuang’s side over the years and kept rising in rank was because he had always listened very carefully to Kaihuang’s words.
But this ti, even Cao Deng felt that what Kaihuang did was dishonorable.
Back then, a younger him had witnessed the atrocious acts committed by the Northern Zhou Imperial Clan.
At this mont, Cao Deng was actually sowhat worried.
After all, should the Empress pass away, Cao Deng feared that a significant upheaval might occur and Kaihuang’s temperant could drastically change.
But just as Cao Deng was leading Zhang San to find a place to shelter from the rain, both of them suddenly sensed an intense presence of battle.
Purple Mansion Realm!?
They exchanged glances and then imdiately rushed towards the direction of the front gate of the Imperial Palace.
The battle aura was coming from there.
Before the two n even reached the front of the Imperial Palace, they noticed that three Grand Offerers of the Offering Hall in the Purple Mansion Realm had already rushed over.
Zhang San recognized at a glance that among those three Grand Offerers, two had just left with Grand Offerer Lu and one he had not seen before.
And the next mont, the three n engaged in combat in the sky above the main entrance of the Imperial Palace with another strong individual also of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Cao Deng’s eyes widened as he said, “What in the world is going on here!? Who the hell dares to storm the palace in broad daylight?”
Zhang San asked Cao Deng, “If storming the palace could save your daughter’s life, would you do it?”
Cao Deng hesitated for a mont, then shook his head silently.
Zhang San looked toward the Qi Gang bursting out in Martial Style in midair and said sotto voce, “But he dares!”
At that mont in the sky above the front gate of the Imperial Palace, Xin Shuxiang threw a punch towards one Grand Offerer’s head.
“I’ve said it, I’m just here to fetch the life-saving Pills for my daughter! They are my Pills! Taking them is my right!”
Bang!
The Grand Offerer protected his face with both hands, then was blasted away by Xin Shuxiang’s punch, smashing directly into the ground behind the main gate of the Imperial Palace, shattering countless bricks and stones, and plowing a deep furrow into the earth.
He knew that Grand Offerer Lu had told him to be careful, and if things went south, to play dead.
Turning his head, he saw that nearby was only Zhang San and Cao Deng.
Cao Deng was an honest man, and as for Zhang San, there should be no issues.
Then he forcibly coughed up a mouthful of blood and lay down pretending to be dead.
Next, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
This one was even better at acting, deliberately blasting the ground with Qi Gang as he landed.
With a deafening boom, he created a massive crater in the ground.
He lay within the crater, his clothes torn to shreds, yet the skin beneath those tattered garnts was completely unhard.
anwhile, the only remaining Grand Offerer in midair thought his two teammates would soon join him and began to furiously attack Xin Shuxiang.
“Audacious scoundrel, do you realize this is the Imperial Palace, a place where you can run wild?”
“If you’re so curious, I’ll tell you, your pills have already been taken by Kaihuang!”
“Gone! Give up hope now!”
As he finished speaking, there was indeed a fleeting mont of distraction in the midst of Xin Shuxiang’s brawl.
That was the culmination of ten years of his effort.
And all of it was for his daughter.
Now, he had been abruptly told—it’s gone!
“No! That’s impossible! Even Kaihuang would not seize a minister’s belongings!”
Xin Shuxiang roared in anger, his hands forming tiger heads from concentrated Qi Gang, and punched out toward the Grand Offerer.
And in that brief mont of Xin Shuxiang’s distraction, the Grand Offerer had landed several strikes on him, even seeing Xin Shuxiang begin to bleed from the corner of his mouth.
Still thinking you can injure , how is that possible!?
Pfft—
However, in the next instant, the Grand Offerer who had been so smug a mont earlier noticed that his chest had been punched through by Xin Shuxiang.
Thud—
The third Grand Offerer from the Offering Hall also fell to the ground.
But this fall was plain and unassuming, barely shattering any floor tiles, much less creating a large crater in the ground.
Only this ti, he truly died, with a huge hole opened in his chest, dead as a doornail.
Zhang San’s eyes widened as he stared at the distant body of the Grand Offerer, completely dumbfounded.
He obviously knew of Principal Officer Xin’s formidable combat strength.
But he had never imagined Principal Officer Xin to be this powerful.
This was, after all, a Grand Offerer of the Imperial Palace Offering Hall, a strong Purple Mansion Realm warrior.
How could he be instantly killed like this!?
Principal Officer Xin, still midair, looked into the Imperial Palace, seeking the whereabouts of Empress Dugu.
At this mont, his only hope was that the kind-hearted Empress Gudu, knowing these were a minister’s belongings, had not consud them.
Just when Xin Shuxiang was still searching, more than a dozen figures flew out from the Palace.
This ti, all the Grand Offerers from the Offering Hall had arrived.
After all, of the three Grand Offerers that had just been dispatched, two were playing dead and one was truly dead.
Such a battle situation could not go unnoticed by the Offering Hall.
Lu Qianqiu, looking up at Xin Shuxiang in midair, cupped his fists and said, “Principal Officer Xin, the Imperial Palace is a restricted area, not a place you can simply enter. Please leave. If there’s any issue, please submit a report, and we will convey it through the Eunuch.”
Xin Shuxiang, watching the Grand Offerers flying over from a distance, considered whether there was any way he could quickly defeat them and then find the pills he was seeking.
Just then, a figure flew over from afar and arrived beside Xin Shuxiang.
“Grand Offerer Lu, long ti no see, all well I trust!”
Upon seeing the newcor, Grand Offerer Lu’s brow furrowed.
“Ah, it’s Chief Li Moxian, indeed it has been a while. Speaking of which, this morning when you ca to the Palace to report to Kaihuang about the Wang Family affairs, you left in such a hurry that you even took my breakfast along the way. Now that Chief Li has co, is it because Kaihuang has summoned you? If so, please proceed imdiately.”
Chief Li Moxian had no summons.
“I am here without a summons. But I have co for sothing far more important than being called by Kaihuang.”
“What matter?”
“Justice for all under the heavens!”
