Chapter 489: Embroidered Uniform Guards Clearing Out the Place

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A figure in white robes, with skin as white as snow and matchless beauty, brought forth a sword light that came charging forward like a tidal wave!

When Zhang Wuji and Xuanming Elder saw that Zhao Min was about to be cut down by that one slash, they stopped at the same time.

“Miss Zhou, don’t!”

“Protect Princess Zhao Min!”

Three elites came forth to protect Zhao Min at the same time, and Zhou Zhiruo’s slash, which had been certain to hit Zhao Min, was instantly knocked off kilter by Zhang Wuji, who charged to defend her.

Prince Ruyang walked out of the mansion in an awe-inspiring manner, and behind him were A’da and A’er, who took long breaths and had veins popping up at their temples.

“Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, you’re just asking for death!

“Xuanming Elders, hurry up and capture Ming Cult’s master Zhang Wuji!

“A’da, A’er, capture Zhou Zhiruo, the remnant of Emei Sect. I want her alive. Once we have both of them, we can ask for rewards from His Majesty!”

It was only then that Prince Ruyang saw that the pitiful Eighth Prince still had a sword placed at his throat by his precious daughter. A tense look appeared on his face. “Bring Princess Minmin back to me. Protect the Eighth Prince and bring him back into the mansion as well.”

Right after Prince Ruyang gave his orders, the martial artists around the royal mansion surged forward like a tidal wave.

Just then, they had received different system notifications, and they were as such:

1) Protect Zhou Zhiruo. Assassinate Zhao Min and the Eighth Prince.

2) Follow Zhang Wuji. Protect Zhao Min and leave Beijing.

3) Help Prince Ruyang. While protecting the Eighth Prince, kill Zhang Wuji, and capture Zhou Zhiruo and Princess Zhao Min alive.

The moment the three quests were given, the situation instantly became incredibly complicated.

Quite a number of Ming Cult and Wudang Sect disciples had their eyes on Zhang Wuji’s Nine Yang Divine Skill, and some of them had their eye on Zhou Zhiruo’s rising strength and inevitable subsequent decline in power; they felt that killing Zhao Min, who was in Moksha Realm, and the Eighth Prince was easier.

But there were also plenty of players who were from Beijing, and hence, most of them were from Six Doors, Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Eastern and Western Depots. This meant that they only received the quest to protect the Eighth Prince and help Prince Ruyang.

The situation became incredibly chaotic!

Before the people from the three sides could get close to Ruyang Mansion, they were divided into different and distinct camps by the system. White, blue, or red armbands appear on each of their arms. The large group of players then engaged each other in a chaotic battle.

There were also multiple Inaction Realm fighters involved in the quest, so neither of the quests was something that the players could easily complete!

In the blink of an eye, the shadows of weapons flashed outside the mansion, and blood flowed in rivers.

However, there was no person who succeeded in getting to the center of the quest and threatened Zhou Zhiruo or Zhang Wuji. As for Zhao Min, she used the Eighth Prince as her protection, and she was also protected by a group of elites from Ruyang Mansion.

It was extremely difficult for the normal players to get close to her within a short amount of time. Even though the mansion wanted to capture Zhao Min, she was also a princess, so she was also a target for protection.

“Damn it!”

“What is this stupid quest?!”

“I went to capture Zhao Min, and the people from Ruyang Mansion actually came to attack me!”

The strange situation caused many players to realize just how complicated the quest was after they came into brief contact with it. They retreated then.

At that moment, a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards came forth from the other side of the street with uniform footsteps. They pushed away the crowd with a mighty manner. “The Embroidered Uniform Guards are here on official business! Those who are not involved, go away!”

But everyone in the area were all proud and powerful players.

Yet the moment they saw the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the people who were behind him, who numbered to nearly one hundred, they found out that they were all Sky Penetrating Tower members, and the enraged curses at the tip of their tongues instantly died away.

It was Langye, one of the three young masters of Beijing, in the lead!

Langye had come right on time. He used his identity as the vice commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards to get involved in the quest and joined Ruyang Mansion’s side with boldness and self-assuredness. No one dared to touch him in the city, and when he surrounded Zhao Min with his people, they were even more dangerous than the Inaction Realm elites. Many of the veterans in Beijing quit the quest and withdrew to the crowd.

Some of the slower ones were surrounded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards commanded by Langye. Around thirty people were captured and had shackles placed on them.

After being captured by Embroidered Uniform Guards, they had to stay in prison for at least forty-eight hours!

The chaos at the entrance of Ruyang Mansion was instantly controlled by Langye once he brought his people. The ones left were all government officials of the imperial court, and they were all players who had accepted the quest from Prince Ruyang.

The streets near the royal mansion instantly became clear!

Zhang Wuji was surrounded by Xuanming Elders, A’da, and A’er, and he could not get out. Zhou Zhiruo was surrounded as well. Even Zhao Min did not expect that such a situation would appear. She held the Eighth Prince hostage while standing against the wall.

However, even if the situation was dangerous, Zhou Zhiruo did not even need to show her full strength. Wherever the light of Heavenly Sword went, A’da and A’er would never dare to face it head-on, and the players would also flee far away from her!

Zhang Wuji had an even easier time!

His Nine Yang Divine Skill was the perfect counter for Xuanming Elders, and his Heaven and Earth Great Shift served as his body fortification. He stood as steady as a stone while surrounded by a group of elites from Ruyang Mansion.

For a period of time, there was a stalemate.

Langye stood outside the crowd while staring at the Heavenly Sword in Zhou Zhiruo’s hands with burning eyes.

It was a divine weapon named Heavenly Sword.

He did not expect that Zhou Zhiruo would have repaired it, and its might was not inferior to its previous state.

Langye stood behind Prince Ruyang while surrounded by Sky Penetrating Tower and showed his great ambition by saying, “Find a chance and kill Zhou Zhiruo.”

Zhang Wuji’s strength was unfathomable, and he did not have any weakness, but Zhou Zhiruo did not have an invincible force they could not resist. If Langye could kill Zhou Zhiruo and obtain Heavenly Sword, he was confident that he could increase his rank several times on Dragon Rank. People like Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, and Zhou Zyu might not be able to resist Heavenly Sword’s might head-on.

At that moment, an abnormal ruckus and the sounds of fighting rose from the royal mansion.

Prince Ruyang was shocked. It was clear that he did not expect that the backyard would be set ablaze.

“What happened?”

A Yuan Dynasty soldier quickly came to provide a report.

“Your Highness, it came from the direction of the dungeon. Someone came to steal our prisoners!”

“There isn’t anyone important in the dungeon, why would they—”

“They came to free those wanderers we caught the day before yesterday. The people who came to free them are not weak, and they actually managed to hold back A’san. Right now, they have already entered the dungeon.”

“Trash!” Prince Ruyang flew into a rage. “This is the city governed by the emperor. Those robbers simply do not care about our laws! Send someone to notify the city guards and have them lock down the entire city. We must kill them!”

Even so, he did not send even a single person from the entrance to provide reinforcements.

Clearly, to Prince Ruyang, the Eighth Prince’s life, his precious daughter’s situation, and Ming Cult’s master as well as Emei Sect’s leader were much more important than the nameless nobodies.

Langye, who stood beside him, noticed it clearly, and a stunned expression appeared on his face.

Someone had actually seized the chance to invade Ruyang Mansion at night, and they forced their way into the prison to free the prisoners who were detained by Prince Ruyang? Judging by the sound of it, they were not weak either.

Each of the three servants of Ruyang Mansion were already in Inaction Realm!

No ordinary person could hold back A’san, release the prisoners, and escape from the dungeon.

Langye suddenly remembered the yellow figure for whom he felt respect and fear. His heart trembled slightly, and he turned around subconsciously. He stared from a distance at Ruyang Mansion’s backyard, and unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure that brought shock to him charging out. As his breathing became labored, his eyes grew wide.

‘There’s no way there could be such a coincidence, right?’
