Chapter 69 – Unfortunately, I have someone above me.

Outside Tianqu Mountain.

The diligent Imperial Guards are on standby, a 100-mile radius has been completely blocked off so that not even a fly can get out.

Han Chen, commander of the Imperial Guards, stood with his arms folded.

The deputy next to him reported with clasped hands.

“Reporting to the commander, all cultivators who came out of the mountain have been detained. According to them, the opportunity is the ancient emperor’s legacy.”

“The legacy of the ancient emperor?”

Han Chen frowned slightly, “Did that Su Demon get it?”

The deputy shook his head, “Not sure, but Su Shi’s skills are extraordinary, the probability of getting the last inheritance is very high.”

Having a body with Holy-grade perfect talent made his potential limitless. If he gets the inheritance of the ancient emperor, who will be able to stop him in the future?

Han Chen’s gaze was heavy, “The birth of such a demon star is a great disaster for the Linlang Empire and should be strangled in the cradle!”

“But His Majesty only told us to blockade Tianqu Mountain.”

“Why do you think His Majesty wants to blockade the mountain?”

“That…”

Han Chen sighed: “There are some things His Majesty can’t say explicitly, but as an Imperial Guard, you should understand his intentions.”

The deputy was enlightened.

“Report!”

At this moment, a guard came running quickly, “My Lord, the demonic cultivator who was with Su Shi has been found!”

“Bring her here!”

“….”

Seeing that the guard had a difficult expression, Han Chen was puzzled, “What’s the problem?”

The guard said, “Imperial Censor Chen and Chief Zhan are also there, they, they are obstructing this subordinate, this subordinate dare not take action, so I came to ask the commander for instructions.”

“What do you say?”

Han Chen froze for a moment, “Take me to see it!”

At the foot of the mountain.

Zhan Qingchen and the others faced the Imperial Guards.

The atmosphere was tense.

Zhan Qingchen asked in a low voice, “Qingluan, what is the situation?”

Chen Qingluan frowned and said, “I’m not sure, they are obviously the guards of the Imperial Capital, why would they come to the Northern Region?”

They had just come out of the secret realm when they encountered this group of people.

They were about to attack Cen Yiren directly.

Chen Qingluan’s pointed brows frowned slightly, “Big bear sister, what trouble have you caused?”

Cen Yiren shook her head blankly, “Nothing, I’m just accompanying Su Shi.”

The two people looked at each other.

“Qingluan.”

A majestic voice sounded.

Chen Qingluan looked up, only to see an armor-clad Han Chen stepping in.

“Uncle Han?”

The Han and Chen families are family friends.

Chen Wangchuan and Han Chen are both officials in the same palace and have a good personal relationship.

Chen Qingluan asked, “What is Uncle Han doing here?”

Han Chen said frankly, “To execute Su Shi, a member of the Demon Sect! This demon girl is his accomplice, so of course we have to kill her too!”

The faces of the two people turned pale at those words.

Sure enough.

They had come for Su Shi!

A trace of anxiety flashed through Zhan Qingchen’s eyes, could it be that the Holy Emperor had decided to take action against Su Shi?

With Chen Qingluan’s position, it was certain that she was on the side of the palace.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Chen Qingluan say, “Su Shi’s execution? What’s the reason?”

Han Chen sneered, “Everyone who comes from the demon sect must be killed because they are demons, what other reason is needed?”

“Of course there is!”

Chen Qingluan said in a deep voice: “It’s true that Su Shi is a member of the Demon Sect, but he is also a citizen of my Linlang Empire! If Commander Han wants to kill someone, then you must explain which laws he has broken!”

Her demeanor was extremely powerful, and her address had changed from uncle to commander.

Han Chen frowned.

Does this girl have a problem with me?

“Su Shi killed a disciple of the Righteous path in the middle of Linlang City, it is a big crime!”

Chen Qingluan shook her head, “Linlang City is under the jurisdiction of the Demon Extermination Division, whether Su Shi kills someone or not, the Demon Extermination Division will investigate clearly, it is not your turn to lead the Imperial Guards!”

Han Chen’s eyes narrowed, “Do you mean to obstruct me?”

Chen Qingluan did not retreat in the slightest, “Commander Han who obstructs the law in Linlang City!”

“You!”

Looking at her determined eyes, Han Chen’s expression changed for a moment.

What is wrong with this girl?

This girl has always hated the demon, but now she is defending Su Shi?

Zhan Qingchen was also a little confused.

I feel that my best friend is a different person ……

“Why do I need to explain to you when this commander does things? I’ll call Patriarch Chen to come talk to me.”

“Arrest them!”

Han Chen waved a big hand.

“I’ll see who dares!”

Zhan Qingchen took a step forward, and her body was enveloped in white light.

Han Chen was stunned to hear this, “Chief Zhan, why are you doing this?”

“Since you can’t give an explanation, then I don’t need to explain it to you either.”

Zhan Qingchen’s voice was indifferent, “Commander Han is so domineering, why don’t you kill me first?”

Han Chen swallowed.

Kill her?

That’s ridiculous!

He is friends with Chen Wangchuan so he can ignore Chen Qingluan, but Zhan Qingchen is the Chief Disciple of Tianji Pavilion!

Tianji Pavilion’s leader, Sikong Lanyue was a powerful figure to be on par with the Holy Emperor!

What’s wrong with the two of them, why are they helping Su Shi?

Han Chen froze for a while.

“Hey!”

“What’s going on here?”

People instantly turned their heads only to see a figure in a white robe slowly approaching.

“Su Shi!”

Clang!

The Imperial Guards pulled their swords out of their sheaths in unison.

Swish!

Chen Qingluan drew her long sword and looked at all of them coldly.

Zhan Qingchen was ready to attack at any time, with her hand drawing a magic seal.

Feeling the murderous aura of the two girls, Han Chen’s eyebrows jumped wildly.

This image is not right!

Su Shi looked at this scene, and his heart was like a mirror.

He looked up at Han Chen, “You want to kill me?”

Han Chen said coldly, “So what if I do?”

Su Shi asked again, “Is it the Holy Emperor’s order?”

Han Chen gritted his teeth and said nothing. The Holy Emperor didn’t explicitly say it, but only ordered the mountain to be sealed, so he had taken the initiative himself to take action against Su Shi.

But what was the point of sealing the mountain without arresting Su Shi?

Su Shi said understandingly, “Holy Emperor wants me dead, but doesn’t want a full-scale war, so he exchanged your life for mine?”

As a genius of the Demonic path, if he dies, someone will definitely pay the price.

Han Chen is definitely the one who will be blamed.

Han Chen was silent for a moment and said bluntly, “I dare not speculate on the His Majesty will, but if I can eradicate a big problem for the country, my death is a small price.”

If the country was in trouble, the king would die for the country, so why shouldn’t he die as a citizen?

Su Shi looked at him admiringly, “You are a person who values the country over your own life.”

“But unfortunately, you can’t kill me, I have someone above me.”

Han Chen sneered, “You mean Feng Zhongque? Now that the four Saints are not in the Northern Region, no one from the Netherworld Rakshasa Sect will protect you!”

“If I kill you today, no one can stop me!”

“Is that so?”

Indifferent voices rang out, as if a heavy hammer had struck everyone’s heart.

A shadow slowly covered the people.

They people looked up, only to see a huge and luxurious flying boat suspended in the air, nine demon dragons hissing with their heads held high, exuding huge demon flames!

A terrifying pressure covered the sky!

Su Shi shrugged, “As I said, there is someone above me.”
