Transmigrated Villain: All the Female Leads are Reincarnated

Chapter 41 The Imperial Palace is Attacked, and the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill is Stolen?

With a loud slap, the person standing outside the door was knocked to the ground, their head buzzing.

The people behind them didn't even have time to react; they just stared blankly as the person fell to the ground.

Xiao Shengyun frowned and raised his hand to slap her several more times.

With a few loud thuds, those same men also fell to the ground, several of their teeth flying out.

"What the hell? Does the mere Snow Cloud Sword Sect dare to threaten us?"

Xiao Shengyun said coldly, "What is the identity of the Holy Son? And what are the identities of these people?"

They didn't want to see them, so they brought up the Snow Cloud Sword Sect to try and intimidate them with their power.

I really don't know where they got the courage!

If we don't teach them a lesson, the Snow Cloud Sword Sect will think they can get away with anything.

They are merely a top-tier power in Qingzhou, and they don't have much of a presence in places like Shangzhou!

The person who had fallen to the ground finally regained their senses, and the young man who had led the group suddenly stood up and roared, "How dare you! I am—"

Puff!

With a muffled thud, Xiao Shengyun's palm pierced the man's heart, and blood splattered everywhere.

The others who had just gotten up were all dumbfounded when they saw this.

Xiao Shengyun slowly withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Snow Cloud Sword Sect? Get lost if you don't want to be wiped out! How dare you trash like you presume to associate with Young Master?"

Upon hearing this, even the most clueless members of the Snow Cloud Sword Sect would know that the person in this private room was definitely not ordinary.

It is very likely that it is a top power from Shangzhou, otherwise it would not be so powerful.

If you and Supervisor Li from Shangzhou really offended them, even if it were an elder or someone else from the Xueyun Sword Sect who died, let alone the sect leader's closed-door disciple who died now, the sect leader would not pursue the matter.

Because there's simply no way to investigate!

Do you really want to investigate?

It's estimated that the entire Snow Cloud Sword Sect will be involved!

"We're leaving now, we're leaving now—"

The group quickly said this, and then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

The men froze. Had the other party changed their mind and intended to kill them here?

But this is Tianluo Auction House. Aren't you afraid of offending Tianluo Auction House by making a move here?

"Take this scum's corpse away, it's an eyesore."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The group breathed a sigh of relief and quickly carried the young man's body away, not daring to linger for even a moment.

After dealing with these people, Xiao Shengyun turned around and said, "Holy Son, it's all taken care of."

Chu Yu nodded. It was time to return to the inn.

The hidden opportunity has been obtained; now it's time to move on to the next place.

The Snow Cloud Mountains hold opportunities for Xiao Ye, but according to the Heavenly Net's investigation, there are indeed many good things there, as mentioned in the storyline.

So the next place will definitely be the Snow Cloud Mountains. As for whether we will run into Xiao Ye, that depends on luck.

Two days passed after they returned to the inn. During these two days, Xia Yuning and the others went out several times, but Chu Yu ignored them.

I know they're probably carrying out some kind of mission, and it seems like it has nothing to do with me for the time being.

Since that's the case, let them do what they want.

Anyway, if they stay by his side, he can observe their subtle changes at any time.

If something is truly detrimental to me, there are plenty of ways to resolve it, and I can deal with them anytime.

Simply put, keeping people around is the safest option.

Xiao Ye seems a bit pitiful. These are all female leads, but they're staying by his side now, which is a bit awkward.

But then I thought, fate will make its own arrangements. It's impossible for Xiao Ye to be a single dog forever; it will always arrange some female companions for him.

Thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.

He is, after all, my adopted son, and his filial piety is commendable. I still hope he can find a good home.

The storyline of the Great Xia Dynasty was basically complete, and there was no point in staying any longer, so they prepared to leave for the Snow Cloud Mountains.

But on this day, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was suddenly placed under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

"What happened?"

Luo Yin was a little confused. This part wasn't in the main storyline. What was going on?

Xia Yuning was also puzzled. Why was the capital suddenly under martial law?

This mechanism is only triggered in cases of extreme severity, and only if the emperor personally issues the order; otherwise, no one has the right to impose martial law on the capital.

"Let me ask what's going on."

Xia Yuning was somewhat worried. Although she was now a maid, she was also the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and many people in the court still listened to her.

Moreover, she grew up in the Great Xia Dynasty, so naturally she didn't want any trouble to happen to the dynasty.

She quickly figured out what was going on, and her expression turned somewhat grim.

"Young Master, the Imperial Palace was attacked last night, and the royal family's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill, has been stolen!"

"What? The Imperial Palace has been attacked?"

Luo Yin was shocked. She did know about the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill; it was something from the main storyline.

According to the plot, Xiao Ye should have obtained this item by chance.

However, the plot does not mention how such a royal treasure as the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill ended up in Xiao Ye's hands.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely related to this attack.

Could it be that Xiao Ye attacked the Imperial Palace?

Chu Yu thought to himself, he had previously told Xiao Ye to take the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill with him, but now that the Imperial Palace had been attacked, he did have some doubts.

However, under normal circumstances, if it were merely Xiao Ye's own good fortune, and he had no grudge against the royal family, it would be unlikely that he would attack the imperial palace for the sake of treasure.

So there's something strange about this; it might be a hidden plot point.

Xia Yuning's expression was very serious as she said, "That's right. Last night, some people infiltrated the Imperial Palace. Their target was very clear: the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill! However, they were discovered outside the Royal Treasury, which ultimately led to a battle, and many people died inside the Imperial Palace!"

"When the treasure vault was being inventoried, it was discovered that the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill had been stolen, which was very likely the work of those people."

"The capital is now under martial law, all to find those people and retrieve the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill!"

Luo Yin and Qiu Ya nodded repeatedly, so that's how it is.

But who on earth is so bold as to dare to sneak into the imperial palace?

"The Imperial Palace is always heavily guarded, and the treasury is protected by multiple layers of magic arrays; its location is also a secret. Yet those people were able to pinpoint the treasury's location precisely, so I suspect—there's a spy within the royal family!"

Xia Yuning gritted her teeth. The appearance of a traitor within the royal family was a huge blow to the entire royal family.

She had previously eliminated those members of the royal collateral branches, thinking that things would be much easier afterward, but the current situation made her very worried.

The traitor seemed to be well hidden, and the old emperor also had some suspicions, but he never found any clues.

"Young master, may I request that you stay until I have settled matters concerning the royal family?"

Xia Yuning was somewhat cautious, knowing that Chu Yu was preparing to go to the Snow Cloud Mountains, and wondering if he would stay temporarily because of this matter.

If the other party insists on leaving, she has no choice but to abandon matters concerning the royal family for now.

After all, Chu Yu is the most crucial one!

"Granted."

Chu Yu said calmly, instructing Xiao Shengyun and the others to make preparations and leave in a few days.

He was very interested in the hidden plot.
