Capital.

At this moment on the officials road, the commoners lined the streets to welcome them, and the civil and military officials followed behind Emperor Kaiping’s imperial carriage, walking forward.

Fortunately, in this world, nobles practice martial arts, but their achievements in martial arts vary, otherwise, after this long journey of worshiping Heaven, these noble officials might not be able to endure it.

Liang Sheng and Old Zhang’s family were kneeling on the ground at this moment, but Liang Sheng was only pretending to kneel, chanting “Long live!” with a flush face, as if extremely excited. They were all good actors.

When the imperial carriage passed in front of them, Liang Sheng and the others quickly stood up. At this moment, Emperor Kaiping looked at the people cheering “Long live!” and felt a surge of ambition.

This was his kingdom.

The Imperial Army was always alert to the surrounding people. Although it was unlikely that anything would happen, they were still conscientious in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Nowadays, His Majesty is not a kind and gentle ruler, and he is very harsh. If he is humiliated today, he may be sent to the Sky Prison or even executed directly.

However, until Emperor Kaiping ascended the mountain to worship the sky, nothing happened. After descending the mountain, with the city gate in sight, Mo Longqiang, the commander of the Imperial Army, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, suddenly someone flew out from the crowd, rushing straight towards the imperial carriage. Dozens of people were all High Ranking Martial Artists, and their goal was extremely clear.

In an instant, the onlooking crowd was thrown into chaos, and some people who were running in panic accidentally bumped into the Imperial Army and were immediately executed on the spot.

Old Zhang’s family hadn’t had time to understand what was happening when they were surrounded by the crowd and forced to squeeze out.

Old Zhang sighed in his heart, fearing that they would lose their lives today. Just then, he suddenly felt a tremendous force, and he was separated from the crowd.

Before he could understand what was happening, he heard Liang Sheng’s voice, “Hurry, follow me.”

In an instant, Old Zhang had found his backbone and saw that his family was by his side. He quickly followed Liang Sheng, fleeing away from the panicked crowd and towards the edge of the officials road.

Disaster!

On the other hand, the commander of the Imperial Army paled in horror and his heart sank. How could there be a slip-up at this moment? Who would have thought that someone would dare to assassinate Emperor Kaiping at this time?

At this moment, he could only shout loudly to try to make up for his mistake.

“There are assassins! Protect His Majesty!”

Although the Imperial Army around the imperial carriage was slow to react, they were still the elite of the elite, instinctively stepping in front of the carriage to protect it.

For a short while, the scene was filled with sword light and fierce fighting. Despite being elite soldiers, most of the Imperial Army was only at the Intermediate-Level Martial Arts, but the assassins were at least at the Postnatal Seven-Realm. Caught off guard, the Imperial Army was forced to retreat step by step.

As the Imperial Army continued to be slaughtered, opening a gap, several Postnatal Ninth Layer Experts rushed towards the imperial carriage. Emperor Kaiping’s face behind the curtain had already turned black.

“Your Majesty, why not let this old slave end this farce?”

“No need for Da Ban to take action, I want to see if Mo Longqiang can still be the commander of the Imperial Army. There’s no need to keep useless people around.”

Hearing these words, Qin Gang stood quietly beside Emperor Kaiping, not moving at all. With him there, no one could touch His Majesty.

Finally, Mo Longqiang regained his senses and began to command the Imperial Army. With a ringleader, the headless dragon-like state of the army was instantly resolved, and they began to advance and retreat in an orderly manner. For a short while, the assassins were unable to make any progress.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Kaiping in the imperial carriage finally looked more pleased; after all, his Imperial Army was not so useless.

At this moment, the civil and military officials and nobles were also guarding around the imperial carriage, but their faces looked very strange. They protected Zhang Zhengju and glared fiercely at the Ministry of Rituals.

The cheering commoners were carefully selected, but now that a slip-up had occurred, how would His Majesty see them?

In recent years, Emperor Kaiping had become increasingly violent. A moment of carelessness could result in a trip to the Sky Prison. The saying “to live with a monarch is like living with a tiger” could not be more apt.

However, as the situation gradually came under control, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. His mind was still racing, thinking about how to placate Emperor Kaiping’s anger.

Not far away, Old Zhang followed Liang Sheng to safety, but he couldn’t see the specific situation on the officials road, which made him extremely worried.

“I hope nothing goes wrong, otherwise I’m afraid there’ll be a big disaster today. Old Liang, why are we so unlucky?”

Liang Sheng quickly comforted him, and Old Zhang’s emotions gradually calmed down. Liang Sheng looked at the imperial carriage, heavily surrounded on the official’s road, but his expression was somewhat inexplicable, because he sensed the presence of other masters lurking around.

Innate Expert!

So the attackers this time are well-prepared. If Emperor Kaiping feels that the overall situation is settled, and steps out of the imperial carriage…

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at the direction of the Innate Qi, which was only a few dozen meters away from the imperial carriage. An Innate Grandmaster could arrive in just a moment.

As more and more Imperial Army surrounded them, the assassins who tried to kill were enclosed in the middle, gradually losing the possibility of escape, and the battle calmed down.

Seeing this, Mo Longqiang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and ran in front of the imperial carriage and knelt down, “Your servant deserves to die for allowing the rebels to attack Your Majesty’s imperial carriage.”

There was no sound from the imperial carriage. Cold sweat covered Mo Longqiang’s forehead, and it was not known how long it took before Emperor Kaiping’s voice came out.

“Da Ban, accompany me to see who these rebels are who dare to assassinate me?”

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the imperial carriage opened, and Qin Gang carefully helped Emperor Kaiping appear, and the surrounding Imperial Army and civil and military officials all leaned over.

At this moment, the assassins had suffered heavy losses, and even if they were masters of the martial arts, they had no way to deal with the elite Imperial Army.

A thought came to Mo Longqiang’s mind, “Spare their lives under the knife, remember to keep a living mouth, His Majesty wants to interrogate.”

Qin Gang glanced at Mo Longqiang, then nodded slightly. This sentence might make his rebuke smaller since he understood His Majesty’s mind.

In a short while, the last few assassins were all surrounded in the middle, almost without the power to fight back, and Emperor Kaiping also walked over.

“Why assassinate me?”

The few people did not answer; instead, they smiled strangely, then immediately bit their tongues and committed suicide, their eyes full of hatred.

Tyrant!

Mo Longqiang felt that something is wrong at once, and Qin Gang reacted at the first moment, and a sharp sound rang out.

“Protect His Majesty.”

At the same time, a strong Qi suddenly erupted nearby, and the innate pressure dominated the whole field.

It turned out that the assassins before were just bait, and the real killing move was left here.

At the next moment, several bald-headed men appeared in the sight of the Imperial Army, but the people standing in front of them did not make any blocking movements and were killed on the spot.

The few people are all in the Postnatal Nine-Realm; even one of them is an Innate Grandmaster. The strength of the assassins is terrifying.

However, Qin Gang appeared in front of Emperor Kaiping at this time, firmly taking a palm from the Innate assassin. For a time, everyone present couldn’t help but look at Qin Gang.

Eunuch Supervisor Qin Gang, is actually an Innate Grandmaster!?

Emperor Kaiping was also taken aback just now, but at this time he reacted and realized that he had inadvertently stepped back and became angry and ashamed.

“Kill them!”

Mo Longqiang immediately issued a command loudly, “Three Talents Five Elements Formation, trap them!”

The Imperial Army quickly changed formation, not wanting to kill their opponents, but just restraining them was enough. The most important thing was to ensure Emperor Kaiping’s safety.

At this time, Qin Gang felt that there were no other Innate experts and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Many military commanders and nobles stood in front of Emperor Kaiping, guarding his left and right.

But Liang Sheng’s eyebrows were furrowed because he recognized the bald Innate assassin at the moment. Although he looked old, he also recognized who he was.

This person is none other than Jinshan Temple’s Hongzhi, a former disciple of the Liang Family. He never thought that Hongzhi would actually reach the Innate Realm, which was truly unexpected..
