Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 18: Meeting the Ninth Princess

Chen Changhe and the others looked at each other and sighed.

They quickly turned around and ran towards the palace.

Because the Imperial Palace Guards were incorporated into the Pacification Office, their regulations have changed.

If anything happens in the palace, these guards must rush to the scene as soon as possible.

However, despite the regulations, Chen Changhe and others did not speed up their pace like Xu Hao, but moved slowly.

Anyway, they just live one day at a time!

Don’t seek merit but seek no fault.

They didn't want to encounter another attack by the White Lotus Sect. Except for Xu Hao, all the guards on duty at that time died in the incident.

Compared with the slow pace of Chen Changhe and others, Xu Hao's speed was much faster, and he was trying to use the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.

This doesn't mean that Xu Hao was in a hurry to go to the palace to show his loyalty, but he wanted to pretend that he was the first to rush to the palace.

As for when it will arrive, we can only leave it to fate!

Boom boom boom.

On Xu Hao's way back, explosions continued to be heard from the direction of the palace, and huge waves of blood appeared above the palace, causing countless people and forces to look up.

Xu Hao kept rushing, but he was always some distance away from the palace.

At the same time, several figures had landed above the Twenty-Seventh Courtyard and were attacking it.

Countless sparks splashed and attacked the sky above the courtyard, shattering countless blood-colored lines.

"You deserve to die!" At the end, the palace maids in Courtyard No. 27 screamed heartbreakingly.

She was already making preparations when she suddenly attracted a group of powerful men from the Pacification Division.

The other party broke in without saying a word, which prevented her from taking any effective measures.

Until now, she still didn't understand why her foolproof arrangement had errors and omissions, and was discovered by the people from the Pacification Office.

Which link went wrong?

Could it be that someone wants to sell her?
But if I don’t open the ancient ruins under the palace, how can others benefit from it?

At least let yourself complete the opening steps first!

"You evil monster, how dare you cause trouble in the palace?" After a long attack, a woman in a phoenix robe arrived at the scene. She took a look at the situation in the villa and waved her hand.

boom.

A huge energy hit the blood-colored lines, directly shattering one of the lines.

"I want to live!" The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao said calmly.

Immediately, strong men from the Pacification Office rushed into the villa.

The battle ended quickly.

The blood waves in the sky also dissipated immediately.

"You did a great job!" The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao turned her head to look at Tang Wan'er standing beside her and praised her sincerely.

"I, I just happened to be there!" Tang Wan'er didn't dare to take credit for it.

She had originally come just to inspect Xu Hao, but accidentally destroyed the evil arrangement.

Does this mean that Xu Hao’s luck is really good, and even she benefits from it?

"What's wrong?" The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao looked at Tang Wan'er's expression and couldn't help but ask.

Tang Wan'er struggled for a moment, then stopped hiding the truth and told the whole story one by one.

She might be good at cultivation, but she is much inferior in planning and strategy, so she wants the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao to make the decision.

"Oh?" Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao frowned and asked after hearing this. "So, you were trying to test the luck of a palace guard, but accidentally ruined the thieves' plan?!"

"Yes!" Tang Wan'er lowered her head. Although she wanted to take the credit, she wouldn't lie for the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao stood quietly, watching the powerful men from the Pacification Division escorting the palace maids out. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Come here, bring me all the detailed intelligence on Xu Hao!"

"Yes!" Immediately, a strong man from the Pacification Office stepped out and ran towards the distance.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and take a look at the thief first!" The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao patted Tang Wan'er on the shoulder and walked towards the disguised palace maid.

"Xuan Qingxiao, you can't support the Great Xuan Dynasty by yourself. Just wait. If you occupy this place, it will be conquered sooner or later. No one will be able to save you then. You will become someone else's plaything, haha!"

Snapped.

An invisible air wave slammed heavily into the palace maid's face, leaving five finger marks.

"You!" The palace maid looked at Xuan Qingxiao in horror.

"You're not at the level of Heaven and Earth yet you still dream of sacrificing ancient relics. How ignorant! Take them away!"

The strong men from the Pacification Office immediately sealed the palace maid, arrested her and sent her to the Heavenly Prison.

The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao also started walking again and came to Xu Hao's garrison. After she got a brief understanding of the situation, she walked towards the sky prison.

An hour later, the strong man from the Pacification Division presented all the information about Xu Hao and placed it in front of the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao.

The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao read them one by one, then frowned.

The Xu family business moved from other places and spent a huge amount of money to take root in the capital. Then, with the recommendation of some officials, Xu Hao became a palace guard.

According to the information, Xu Hao has mediocre talent and his cultivation has always been at the mortal level. However, after the White Lotus attack and the reform of the imperial guards, Xu Hao suddenly became a powerful human-level warrior and obtained the position of a small flag in one fell swoop.

Then the leader of the White Lotus Sect appeared not far from the Xu family's property. A fire broke out in the Xu family, which spread to the surrounding areas, leaving the leader of the White Lotus Sect nowhere to hide.

The last time Xu Hao encountered a black shadow, he entered the Twelve Courtyards, and something was taken away from there.

Now, something happened in the area where Xu Hao was stationed. Although this area was divided uniformly by the Pacification Office and there was no suspicion of cheating, this was too much of a coincidence!

One coincidence, two coincidences, now it’s three coincidences.

This is not something that ordinary people would encounter. If it were someone else, they would have been implicated and killed without a burial place.

But not only did Xu Hao not die, his cultivation and status continued to grow.

"Interesting, quite lucky indeed!" After reading the intelligence, the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao immediately waved and ordered, "Come here, bring Xu Hao over. I want to see him!"

"Yes!" The strong man from the Pacification Department in the Heavenly Prison immediately took the order and left.

The ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao sat in an interrogation room in the sky prison, waiting quietly.

An incense stick later, a powerful officer from the Pacification Division came to report, "Your Highness, the other party is very tight-lipped and won't say anything!"

"Kill him!" The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao said calmly.

If you can't get the information, there's no need to bother.

Because the world today is not as powerful as it was in ancient times, the palace maid tried her best but could only manifest a little strange vision.

Only when the level of heaven and earth reaches the ancient times, the ancient ruins where the imperial palace is located will appear. Now the level of heaven and earth is not enough, it is useless.

It just adds to the joke.

Since she couldn't get any information, she wouldn't bother.

Her curiosity about Xu Hao now far exceeded that of the disguised palace maid.

At the same time, Xu Hao was still heading towards the palace.

After practicing for a period of time, Xu Hao found that the Eight Steps to Chasing Cicadas was extremely suitable for him. He didn't need to practice it deliberately. It worked naturally and he became more and more proficient.

Xu Hao felt that if he practiced for another ten days or half a month, he would be able to cultivate it to perfection.

"Are you Xu Hao?" Just as Xu Hao was rushing forward, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
