Chapter 60

Su Xuan’s premonition was not wrong.

After seeing many imperial guards stationed at the entrance of his own palace, he had anticipated that a change had occurred.

Soon, he heard another burst of footsteps.

Immediately following, the main gate, which had only been repaired that morning, was once again rudely kicked open.

Ji Ji Wuye, clad in armor and followed by soldiers in sharp gear, suddenly appeared in Su Xuan’s field of vision; in Ji Ji Wuye’s eyes, there was even a hint of mockery.

Then, looking at Su Xuan, he said with chilling murderous intent: "The deviant Su Xuan, your collusion with the Regarding Baiyue rebel Tian Ze to plot against the King has been exposed. By the order of the Crown Prince, I have come to apprehend you!"

"If you are sensible, you had best surrender obediently!"

Even though Su Xuan had some guesses about the changes in the palace, upon hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s words, he was still quite surprised.

Yan Yan Lingji, inside the cage, also looked at Su Xuan with great curiosity upon hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s words.

When did this person collude with Lord Tian Ze?

Collusion—does that mean beating Tian Ze and Wushuang Gui to a pulp and then throwing them out?

Yan Yan Lingji could not understand.

Facing Ji Ji Wuye’s murderous intent, Su Xuan said calmly: "General, you can eat whatever you want, but you cannot just say whatever you want! Although I know you like to eat excrement, I really did not expect that after eating it, you would still like to spray dung around indiscriminately!"

These words were somewhat inconsistent with Su Xuan’s status as an expert.

But it must be said, when dealing with someone like Ji Ji Wuye, nothing could provoke his hatred more than these kinds of words.

Ji Ji Wuye was immediately enraged.

"You are courting death!"

He did not choose to take action personally, but instead ordered the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, quickly apprehend this deviant for me!"

Many soldiers in armor stepped forward one after another, surrounding Su Xuan tightly.

Su Xuan sighed. Although he did not know why things had suddenly developed to this point, there was no doubt that when Ji Ji Wuye arrived here and spoke those words, it indicated that Ji Ji Wuye had run out of patience and had completely turned against him.

Surrendering obediently was clearly not his style.

A wild wind arose, and in an instant, all the soldiers who approached Su Xuan were blown away by the gale.

Su Xuan slowly stood up and glanced at the many medicine shelves in the room, which still held many medicinal herbs and elixirs. Although the incident happened suddenly and did not give him the opportunity to move these precious materials, it would be too much of a pity to just abandon them.

Fortunately, a new technique he had mastered could help him solve this trouble.

This technique is called—"Pot Heaven"!

He brushed his sleeves, and the many medicinal herbs on the shelves, as well as the refined elixirs, flew out simultaneously, disappearing into his sleeves.

This scene caused Ji Ji Wuye’s pupils at the door to contract.

Although he knew Su Xuan was a deviant who had mastered many sorceries, this scene still shocked him.

How big could Su Xuan’s sleeves be!

It was impossible for so many things to fit into his sleeves, yet Su Xuan had still managed to do it.

Fake, this is all fake!

It was all to confuse the senses and deliberately frighten the soldiers, making them hesitate; in reality, all of this was an illusion created by magic.

Ji Ji Wuye immediately solidified this thought.

"Don't be afraid, these are all illusions. Whoever can capture him, I will reward heavily!"

As the saying goes, there are brave men under heavy rewards. Even though the previous gale had sent many soldiers flying, more people rushed forward.

Su Xuan looked at Ji Ji Wuye with a helpless and playful expression.

The meaning was: Ji Ji Wuye, aren't you annoying!

If you're afraid of death, just say so!

Do you really need to send these ordinary soldiers to be cannon fodder first?

Su Xuan had thought Ji Ji Wuye would strike personally. If the other party were willing to fight, he wouldn't mind testing this strongest warrior of Han in the last hundred years to see if he lived up to his name.

But Ji Ji Wuye’s cowardice exceeded his expectations.

Another gust of wind arose, and all the soldiers rushing toward Su Xuan felt as if they had hit an invisible wall, unable to move an inch. They could see Su Xuan right in front of them, but the wind blocked their path forward.

Su Xuan walked to the cage imprisoning Yan Yan Lingji, placed his hand on the iron bars, and applied a little force, activating the "Great Strength" technique.

These iron bars, forged from refined iron, were twisted apart by his bare hands.

"Come out!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan Lingji felt she could perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and her internal energy resumed circulation; Su Xuan had lifted the Qi-sealing technique he had placed on her.

Her figure flashed, and she stepped out of the cage instantly, standing side-by-side with Su Xuan—truly a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Although I don't know what happened in this short night, I seem to have become a wanted criminal just like you."

Depressed, of course, she was a bit depressed.

It was mainly because Ji Ji Wuye had launched a sudden attack, giving him no time to react.

Yan Yan Lingji’s lips curled into a faint smile, and she did not answer Su Xuan’s remark.

After complaining, Su Xuan said to Yan Yan Lingji: "Let's go!"

Yan Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows slightly. After escaping, she had secretly wondered how Su Xuan planned to flee, but she hadn't expected his response to be so simple.

These simple words contained deep self-confidence.

The meaning was roughly that if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

And the facts were indeed so.

The gale that had been blocking the soldiers suddenly expanded outward, blowing many soldiers over. Under Su Xuan’s deliberate control, some were even sent flying toward Ji Ji Wuye.

Ji Ji Wuye naturally didn't want to be hit by these useless men; he flashed away, hurriedly avoiding them, and retreated from the palace room.

Although he possessed extremely powerful strength, in the end, Ji Ji Wuye gave up on confronting Su Xuan head-on.

Su Xuan’s strength was, after all, not trivial.

With his noble status, engaging in close-quarters combat with Su Xuan was simply giving Su Xuan an opportunity.

Anyway, after this incident, Su Xuan had already become a wanted criminal.

No matter how strong his power or how mysterious his methods, under the full force of the nation, there was only one path: death.

With Ji Ji Wuye’s retreat, the many soldiers surrounding the room clearly couldn't stop Su Xuan. Pushed by the gale, they could only watch helplessly as Su Xuan took Yan Yan Lingji out of the room.

"Hold tight to my hand!"

Su Xuan said to Yan Yan Lingji again.

Yan Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment, but in the end, she grabbed Su Xuan’s hand.

A gale arose, carrying Su Xuan and Yan Yan Lingji’s bodies, and they suddenly flew away from the place.
