About an hour later, it was finally Chen Xuan’s turn.
"Take out the token issued by the Three Judicial Departnts of the mansion."
The leading young guard spoke expressionlessly.
Chen Xuan glanced at him slightly, looking sowhat indifferent.
Then he handed over the yellow token in his hand.
But even with the yellow token, his expression did not change at all; he just glanced at him again and then began to carefully inspect it.
A trace of Spiritual Power was injected into it.
Imdiately, a special pattern erged.
At this mont, he raised his head again, looking at Chen Xuan with a peculiar expression.
"What’s the matter?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Are you the Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion?"
The man asked.
This question left Chen Xuan slightly stunned. He, a prince from a remote part, was so famous?
Even the City Guards of the Imperial City know him?
"Prince Xuan, you needn’t be so surprised. There are probably very few in the Imperial City who don’t know you!"
"What?"
Chen Xuan was completely bewildered by his remark.
However, this ti the man did not answer him but instead flashed a mysterious smile, then proceeded to check Shi Jian’s token.
When he reached the five Shadow Guards, he paused and pointed at them, "Who are they...?"
"Soone attempted to assassinate this prince and was caught on the spot. This ti, I personally bring them to the Ritual Departnt."
"I want to see who it is that dares to disregard the laws of Great Yu!"
"My life is trivial!"
"But this kind of act is an affront to Great Yu, so this ti I personally ca to the Imperial City to catch the mastermind behind this."
Chen Xuan’s voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for anyone present to hear.
"You’ve been assassinated again?"
The man’s expression was quite peculiar.
In Great Yu, it was not unheard of for a prince to be assassinated, but with such frequency, he was the first.
"Alas, I am also very puzzled."
Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed lightly.
Seeing this, the man also smiled and proceeded toward the five Shadow Guards.
Although these five didn’t have a token, he had to search them.
At this mont, a middle-aged man, leaning against the city wall, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Chen Xuan’s voice.
His gaze turned towards this direction.
He was curious about who exactly was this Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion.
He’s been repeatedly targeted for assassination.
First by the Shen Family, then by Your Highness, and now, who else?
But when his gaze landed on the rings on those five people, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils enlarging dramatically.
Watching as the young man was about to search the five, his heart almost broke with fear.
"Stop!"
He imdiately transmitted his voice.
The young man’s hand suddenly froze, turning his head and looking over with great confusion.
"No need to check, let them all in."
"General Tong, this...?"
The young man hesitated imdiately because this was against the rules. If checked out, if anything went wrong, they couldn’t be held responsible.
"This is a military order!"
Tong Youjun shouted sharply, his expression very serious.
The young man, though puzzled, abandoned the idea of searching the five because of just two words... military order!
Tong Youjun usually seldom bothered them, being kind by nature, and he had never been like this before in their impression.
To beco a City Guard with his skills, he was, of course, not foolish.
These five people must have an extraordinary background.
"Go inside!"
The young man said lightly, although his gaze fell on Chen Xuan.
"Haha, thank you."
Chen Xuan chuckled softly.
The voice transmission from Tong Youjun did not escape his ears, after all, he was only in the first realm of the Dao Realm.
Transmitting in front of him was no different from speaking publicly.
But he must have recognized their identities; seeing his expression was enough to guess.
After Chen Xuan and his group entered the Imperial City, the young man approached Tong Youjun, asking quietly, "General, what was that about?"
"I saved your life; you owe a drink."
At this mont, the terror in Tong Youjun’s eyes had vanished, replaced by a hint of excitent, like he was looking forward to a show.
But his words further confused the young man.
Just now, he seed as if facing a great enemy, yet now... he beca like this.
What exactly was going on?
"Enough, don’t think about it, knowing too much won’t do you any good, just get back to work!"
Tong Youjun patted his head, then gave him a kick.
The kick sent the young man stumbling.
He turned to glance at him, seeing him close his eyes again.
Though his heart was itching with curiosity, he could only return.
anwhile, a thousand miles away from the Imperial City, Hua Siyuan and Lao Jiu were flying rapidly.
After more than ten days, although Hua Siyuan’s injury wasn’t completely healed, it was almost there.
So he decisively decided to return to the Imperial City imdiately and report this matter up.
"Alright, Lao Jiu, you just lost a stone, but I failed my mission; I’ll fare worse than you."
Seeing his serious expression, Hua Siyuan spoke to console him.
Upon hearing this, Lao Jiu shot him a glare.
Damn it, who wants to compare with him in misery?
This matter really had nothing to do with him; he was rely there to set up an array to monitor Prince Xuan.
Unexpectedly, he lost that piece of silver stone in the end.
That was the Silver Moon Stone!
Not only could it bear Spiritual Power, but crucially it could penetrate space invisibly, extrely rare.
Even among the Shadow Guards, there were only a few pieces.
It could be said to be a treasure among treasures.
