Qin Xiyang was already in a precarious situation, her condition even more miserable. Besieged by three from the Heavenly List, she had over thirty wounds covering her whole body, unable to expel Martial Intent, her body scarred and bleeding profusely.
However, when Chu Xisheng fell from above, both Qin Sheng and Bu Chaowu simultaneously ceased their attacks.
This was because Chu Xisheng’s Vengeful Blade Screen encompassed Qin Xiyang within.
This gave her a chance to catch her breath.
"Chu Xisheng?"
Qin Xiyang knelt on the ground, gazing complicatedly at the young man before her.
Then she crawled and rolled to hide behind Chu Xisheng.
Her mind kept doubting, even confirming that he was scheming against her.
This scoundrel was the culprit behind her downfall.
Yet they were nominally fellow disciples, senior and junior.
Chu Xisheng absolutely could not leave her to die.
Xiaao Hongchen stared fixedly at the purple-clad youth before him, slightly stunned, then his expression twisted, his pupils narrowing into pinpoints: "Chu Xisheng, you dare rescue and shelter a court criminal, do you intend to rebel?"
"Rebel?"
Chu Xisheng laughed loudly, his tone full of disdain: "Didn’t the Capital Commander already say before, it was I who let Qianqian into the Imperial City to assassinate the Emperor? Also that I had her betray the Grandmaster? So why still ask if I intend to rebel?"
After saying this, he glanced at Ji Qianqian behind him: "In truth, I’ve been here all along, watching from above. Had to make so preparations, and let Qianqian suffer grievances."
The Bathing Sun Divine Ship he piloted wouldn’t be slower than Qin Xiyang.
However, assembling the Luo Han Sect array required ti, and Lu Luanti’s summoning of the Cloud Sea Sword Formation also took ti, and certain others needed ti to arrive.
As long as Ji Qianqian was not in mortal danger, he didn’t rush to show himself.
Ji Qianqian looked at Chu Xisheng’s bright smile, her heart slightly trembling.
For so reason, today she perceived Chu Xisheng completely differently.
This tall, slender figure stood before her like a reliable mountain, blocking before her like a pillar holding the sky, bringing utmost safety.
Her face blushed, shaking her head in slight panic: "Not grievances! It was Qianqian’s impetuous action, careless conduct, dragging Master down."
Ji Qianqian felt a sudden pang of guilt, her face turning pale.
She hadn’t thought before, but now felt incredibly guilty,
This ti she truly dragged Chu Xisheng down with her.
She was now a court criminal of utmost treason, having shot the Emperor with fifteen arrows, ranked first on the Black List!
Master’s protection made him an enemy of the court.
Chu Xisheng laughed silently: "Ha! The court has wanted to remove , the thorn in their side, not just for a day."
Then he turned to look at Xiaao Hongchen, his expression cold and indifferent: "Go back and tell Xuan Youchang. Ji Qianqian, I will protect!"
After he said this, he rembered he had another person behind him.
"—Oh, and Qin Xiyang, Senior Qin, what are your intentions in ambushing a disciple of the Formless Divine Sect? The court must provide my sect an explanation."
"Bold! Who are you, to dare call the Emperor by na?"
Fifty ters away, Bu Chaowu’s face turned exceedingly dark.
The ’Xuan Youchang’ Chu Xisheng spoke of was indeed Emperor Jianyuan’s na.
Bu Chaowu took deep breaths, suppressing his furious rage: "Ji Qianqian and Qin Xiyang are both court criminals, the forr shot the Emperor, the latter defied orders and accused the court, both are heinous criminals! You dare shield them, do you intend rebellion?"
Yet as Bu Chaowu locked his Martial Intent on Chu Xisheng from a distance, countless star sword lights fell from the void like raindrops.
Bu Chaowu’s eyes narrowed, forced to leave his position to dodge the star sword rain.
Beside him, the ’Silent Annihilation Spear Commander’ Qin Sheng wasn’t spared either, beginning to weave and dodge amid the dense star sword light.
While evading, they spread their Divine Thoughts, attempting to locate the sorcerer’s position who cast these ’Star Netting Thousand Swords’.
This Star Magic’s power, enhanced by the Array, had reached a super-grade rank.
Each sword’s power was nearly equivalent to a strike by a super-grade Martial Cultivator.
Only the Star Mage Luo Han Sect’s sect master could perform this magic in the world.
Chu Xisheng laughed silently, his voice casual: "Defying orders, accusing the court? What kind of cri is that? Among the Six Great Divine Sects, the Five Great Demon Sects, who regards the Emperor’s edicts? How has the court not said they defy orders? Many have spoken of the Emperor, isn’t he a foolish tyrant?"
He dared to use such absurd charges to hunt my sect’s disciple; what audacity, thinking the Formless Divine Sect is easy to bully?
As he swept his sleeve, releasing the Bathing Sun Divine Ship: "I’m taking them away. You may tell Xuan Youchang, our sect master will reason with him. Without an explanation, we won’t rest."
As he spoke, the Bathing Sun Divine Ship expanded with the wind, instantly transforming into a fifty-ter Flying Boat, suspended in the air.
Xiaao Hongchen’s hands in the sleeves tightly gripped the sword hilt, his body slightly trembling.
—This Chu Xisheng, he simply disregarded the court, lawless! He was indeed arrogant and unrestrained, behaving indiscriminately to such an extent!
The newly appointed Imperial Palace Chief Zhu Mingyue stood on another side.
He wasn’t affected by the star sword rain, his pale face also turning steely blue.
Zhu Mingyue was a rational person, aware of the consequences of engaging with Chu Xisheng, he still tried to reason, his voice grave: "The Sword Lord is also a Police Pool of Blood Commander of Daning Heavenly Court, how can he knowingly violate the law? Setting aside Qin Xiyang, Ji Qianqian behind you not only colluded with Rebel Prince’s Remnant, seized the Imperial Prison, but also shot the Emperor and slaughtered nurous Heavenly Jinyi Guards and Imperial Palace soldiers, her cris are heinous beyond pardon!"
