“Are you talking about the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty?” Qin Yichen asked those mercenaries in as calm a voice as possible.
Then, after he scattered a handful of silver coins, those mercenaries told him all the details.
After Qin Yichen killed Du Junxiong and eliminated a Spirit Realm expert, the Elder from the An Family was enraged. Now, he was leading a group of experts towards the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty to avenge his disciple.
That Elder was a Mid Spirit Realm expert! It could be said that with him alone, destroying a small kingdom’s Royal Family would be effortless.
“The Heavenly Unicorn Royal Family is about to change hands…”
That was what those mercenaries said.
However, they did not notice Qin Yichen’s murderous expression.
While they were still discussing, Qin Yichen had already left this place.
His direction was not the Central Province, but… the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty!
“An Family, if my loved ones are harmed, I will leave none of you alive!” Qin Yichen was very clear about the An Family’s motives.
It was to kill Lu Linghan!
This was the An Family’s true purpose.
It was clearly because Lu Linghan’s talent was truly terrifying. At just twenty, she had already reached the Spirit Realm! Even in the Central Province, such a person would be a top-tier existence, one of the greatest prodigies.
So, the An Family even dispatched a Mid Stage Spirit Realm Elder to ensure success.
Qin Yichen flew without stopping for even a moment.
When tired, when his Yuan Energy was depleted, he would take Pills.
Perhaps due to Xiao Bai’s presence, when passing through the Mist Forest, he did not encounter a single Demonic Beast.
Even if there were any, they cowered aside, trembling at Xiao Bai’s presence.
Only they could clearly sense the terrifying aura on Xiao Bai!
It was, after all, an aura born from Death Energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
…
In the Heavenly Unicorn City, on this day, it welcomed several uninvited guests.
Walking at the front was an Elder dressed in luxurious clothing, clearly carrying the aura of a superior. Even the casual release of his aura made the surrounding pedestrians tremble with fear.
Beside him were five people, varying in height and age, but they all had one thing in common: their auras were all above the Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm!
One Mid Stage Spirit Realm expert and five Entry Stage Spirit Realm experts.
It was a truly impressive line up.
The six people walked straight towards the Heavenly Unicorn Royal Palace.
At the palace gates, they were stopped by the Royal Guards.
*Bang!*
However, before the guard could speak, he was blasted away by a burst of energy, crashing into the city wall. When he fell, he was already lifeless.
“Quickly report to the general, intruders are forcing their way into the Royal Palace!”
A middle-aged man captain of the guards ordered a nearby guard with a grave expression. The pressure from these six people was too great; they had not even seen them move, yet one of their skilled guards was so easily killed.
The six people seemed oblivious to the captain’s words, their expressions unchanged as they continued unhurriedly towards the Royal Palace.
“Damn it! Stop them!” Although extremely wary, seeing the intruders ignore them, several guards gritted their teeth and still stepped forward.
“Like a Mantis trying to stop a chariot!” The man on the far left of the group of six glanced coldly at the guards. Then, with a snort, he waved his sleeve, and a terrifying burst of Yuan Energy howled out.
*Boom! Boom!* Without any suspense or surprise, without even a groan or scream, these guards were all sent flying back without exception. Before they hit the ground, they were already lifeless.
“D-Damn it! Who are these people!?” The remaining guards, seeing this scene, had intense fear in their eyes, and the arms holding their weapons could not help but tremble.
After that, no guard dared to step forward to block them, instead rushing to report. Meanwhile, these six people walked towards the Royal Palace as if strolling in their own backyard, seemingly not worried at all.
…
In the Royal Hall.
“What? They are only six people but they’ve managed to scare off our Royal Guard?”
Upon hearing the report, King Lu Heze slammed the table and abruptly stood up.
“I want to see just who these people are!” King Lu Heze waved his sleeve and walked out. However, the hand hidden in his sleeve quietly crushed a jade talisman.
King Lu Heze was not brainless. He was very clear about the strength of his Royal Guard. Even if it was a Martial Grandmaster, his Royal Guard would fight to the death to block them.
[For the entire Royal Guard to be too scared to block them, could it be that all six are Spirit Realm experts!?] Thinking of this, King Lu Heze’s body could not help but tremble.
*Tap! Tap!* Just as King Lu Heze walked out of the great hall, a series of uniform footsteps sounded. Then, rows of uniformly armoured Royal Guards were seen walking in front of King Lu Heze, their faces alert.
“Lu Heze, right?” At this moment, an elderly voice suddenly echoed above the Royal Palace. This voice seemed to contain a trace of vigorous Yuan Energy, making everyone’s ears ache.
“Who? Who dares to directly call his Majesty’s name in the Royal Palace!” Countless people in the Royal Palace raised their heads, their faces full of shock.
“Stop!” Hearing this voice, King Lu Heze’s face became extremely solemn.
*Whoosh!* Following King Lu Heze’s order, the numerous Royal Guards all stopped at the same time. Everyone’s gaze vigilantly watched the palace gate in front, where six figures were slowly approaching.
These six people’s pace seemed unhurried, but in just a few breaths, they had walked to within ten metres of the Royal Guards.
Looking at these six people, many of the Royal Guards had sweat seeping from their foreheads, as if these were not six people, but six fierce Demonic Beasts!
“I am Lu Heze of the Lu Family. May I ask what business brings you to our Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty?” King Lu Heze took a deep breath, stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Don’t try to pressure us with the Lu Family. Even if it’s the direct line of the Lu Family, anyone who dares to kill someone from our An Family must give us an explanation. This is just a puny kingdom. You are also only from a branch not even valued by the Lu Family. Better hand over the person who killed someone from our An Family. If you do so, I might spare the lives of your Heavenly Unicorn Royal Family.”
The Spirit Realm expert on the far left directly stepped forward, and the pressure of a Spirit Realm expert poured out.
Under this pressure, King Lu Heze and the Royal Guards immediately felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests, even breathing became difficult.
[An Family… it really is the An Family!] King Lu Heze was extremely shocked in his heart. Originally thinking that the An Family would be wary of Qin Yichen and the Lu Family behind him, he never imagined that the An Family’s retaliation would come so quickly.
