Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Xiaoyi gently placed the two children in her arms on the ground and reached out to wipe away their tears.

"Be a good girl, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Just as Yun Jianxue and Hua Suwen were about to ask him where he was going, Xie Lingyun grabbed his wrist.

"Xiao Yi, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Forbidden City. If Sister Qianxun and the others... then I'll raze the entire dynasty to the ground."

Xie Lingyun had already seen Xie Xiaoyi's determination and knew that Yun Qianxun and the others were very important to him.

Because she had seen his past in the jade mirror.

Both Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei have intricate emotional entanglements with him.

Especially Fu Yaoqin, she was still his white moonlight.

When she saw that scene, she felt so sad for months and couldn't recover.

It's understandable that he couldn't suppress his anger when he suddenly heard this news.

However, the Forbidden City is not a place that one person can just rush into. What would be the point of coming back if something happened to him?

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun said with a serious expression:

"Xiao Yi, the Forbidden City has tens of thousands of imperial guards, three hundred Qi cultivators, and is further blessed by the dynasty's fortune. You can't just go there recklessly!"

Xie Xiaoyi frowned: "Auntie, let go..."

Hua Suwen and Yun Jianxue were also at a loss for what to do.

On the one hand, they were worried about Fu Yaoqin and the other two, and on the other hand, they were worried about Xie Xiaoyi. It was a difficult decision whether to persuade them or not.

Xie Lingyun looked at Xie Xiaoyi and said softly, "Xiaoyi, you've misunderstood. What I meant was, I'll go with you!"

After hearing her words, Xie Xiaoyi shook her head immediately: "No! Aunt, you have to stay."

"Xiao Yi, you..."

"Stop arguing!"

Xie Xiaoyi interrupted her: "Due to the changes on the island, both Senior Sister Suwen and Sister Jianxue are pregnant, and Qianyu and Nian'an are still young and need protection."

Now I trust no one but you! Aunt, you must stay here and protect this home for me, waiting for my return.

What he said makes sense and carries weight.

They entrusted the safety of "our family" to Xie Lingyun.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Xie Lingyun knew that she couldn't persuade him anymore.

He is now in a state of perfect harmony with nature; if he were to fight desperately, probably no one in the world could stop him.

If he were to follow, he worried that he might be distracted by the island of forgetfulness and unable to give his full strength.

Thinking of this, Xie Ling squeezed his hand tightly: "Okay! I'll stay by your side. You... must come back safely."

"must!"

Xie Xiaoyi stopped talking nonsense, nodded to Hua Suwen and Yun Jianxue, and patted the two children on the head.

Then, he turned around and took a step forward.

The ground beneath his feet trembled silently as he transformed into a streak of light that tore through the sky, shooting away.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xie Xiaoyi broke through layers of clouds and mist, hovering above the capital of the Great Sheng Dynasty—

Above the Forbidden City.

Xie Xiaoyi's gaze swept across the entire imperial city, and he was about to fly straight into the city to find the emperor and demand the person.

Just as he was about to break into the imperial city, two completely different auras shot out towards him.

One forceful, one gentle; one fierce, one steady—like two rainbows stretching across the sky, they came straight at him!

"boom!"

One was a powerful and unparalleled fist aura, and the other was a chilling and sharp blade aura, which instantly wrapped around Xie Xiaoyi in mid-air.

Xie Xiaoyi sensed that the two streams of energy belonged to Qin Huaiyu and Wang Shaobo respectively, but he didn't care at all.

He slightly curved his lips into a smile, then extended his right hand and lightly patted the air as if flicking off dust.

"Clang—Boom!"

The two streams of energy dissipated instantly, without causing the slightest ripple.

He continued flying towards the Forbidden City, but before he even stepped onto the city wall, he was struck by a gust of air that blocked his path.

call--

His body froze, and he was thrown back twenty feet before he regained his footing.

Xie Xiaoyi was stunned. What was going on? Was it an invisible air barrier?

He immediately spread out his Heavenly Qi Machine and glanced at it.

With the enhancement of his cultivation, no formless energy could hide from him—

It possesses true qi, spiritual power, and... the imperial city's fortune.

The combined forces formed a massive, invisible barrier that enveloped the entire Forbidden City.

This is a barrier.

Xie Xiaoyi pondered to himself that this must be the three hundred Qi Refiners that his aunt Xie Lingyun had mentioned, the ones who were dry.

Because he could see that the barrier was filled with spiritual energy and the fortune of the Great Sheng Dynasty, something that no martial artist could possibly create.

He charged forward twice more with his sword, but was blocked by the barrier both times and couldn't get through at all.

Xie Xiaoyi landed steadily, thinking to himself: If we can't get in from the sky, then we'll fight our way in through the city gate.

Before he could take a step, the sound of drums suddenly rang out from inside the main gate of the imperial city.

"Clang—!!"

The heavy city gates slowly opened, and troop after troop of soldiers clad in black iron armor poured out, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

The soldiers quickly split into two ranks, spreading out in layers, with spears like a forest and bows fully drawn, all locked onto Xie Xiaoyi.

Further back, dozens of ballistae had already tightened their bowstrings, and the thick iron arrows, as thick as a child's arm, gleamed coldly, aimed at his vital points.

Crossbow carts were set up on high platforms on both sides, their quivers full of arrows, ready to rain down arrows at the command.

Several catapults were pushed in the middle, their stone balls coated with grease. If the fuses were lit, they could smash out a sea of ​​fire at any moment.

The area in front of the city gate instantly transformed into a deadly trap specifically set to hunt down top experts...

At the front of the battle, a black horse led the way.

Seated upright on horseback was a general clad in black armor, wielding a halberd, his brows furrowed and his aura as imposing as a mountain.

It was none other than Lü Wushuang, the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Forbidden City.

He reined in his horse and stood at the front of the formation, staring directly at Xie Xiaoyi.

The sound of galloping hooves grew rapid behind them as five generals rode out in unison, standing on the left and right, their imposing presence commanding respect.

The three generals on the left:

One of the men, wielding a long sword, exuded a powerful aura; it was Guan Ling.

One man, wielding a long spear, exuded a menacing aura; it was Zhang Fang.

One of the figures, with a long sword at his side and a cold, sharp demeanor, was Zhao Xiao.

The two generals on the right:

One man, wielding a long spear, was valiant and fierce; he was Ma Yue.

A man carrying a carved bow on his back, with feathered arrows tucked into his waistband, and eyes like an eagle's, was none other than the divine archer Huang Cheng.

Five people stood guard, their armor gleaming in the sun, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.

Lu Wushuang pointed his halberd horizontally and roared:

"Traitor Xie Xiaoyi! You have fallen into the trap set by Director Yu of the Imperial Observatory. We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xie Xiaoyi didn't answer, but simply lowered his chin slightly and tossed his head gently to the left and right.

"Crack! Crack!" Two crisp, clean snapping sounds came from the neck.

He sneered, "You never learn your lesson? You think you can fight back with your defeated underlings?"

"Xie Xiaoyi, stop being so arrogant!"

A cold shout rang out, and a gray shadow soared into the sky from within the imperial city, swept over the towering city walls, and landed lightly in front of the Imperial Guards.
