Chapter 94: 094 This Child Must Not Stay (Second Update)
Translator: 549690339
From the city gate tower, Xing Kun, donned in the burgundy-black uniform of the imperial guards, clutched his imperial-bestowed Treasure Sword, his eyes, sharp as a hawk, were monitoring exterior activities, scanning over each individual entering the city.
The Imperial Guards, loyal only to the emperor, were responsible for maintaining the security of Divine City.
He was one of the top ten officers in the Imperial Guards, who acquired a special eye technique secretly passed down within the ranks. This technique, originating from the Red Mansion, could see through a person’s actual level of Cultivation.
With this eye technique, the Imperial Guards could clearly track every Martial Arts master entering and leaving the Divine City.
Now, he was looking for a Second Grade top-level man and a Fifth Grade woman.
Xing Kun had been standing there since morning, as still as a rock, without altering his standing posture.
The city guards’ commanders standing behind him were a bit overwhelmed, but they dared not move and gritted their teeth to endure it.
To local authorities, the Imperial Guards were like imperial commissioners.
Not to mention the one in front of them, a First Rank powerhouse, and also one of the top ten officers of the Imperial Guards, was a very influential person.
Besides ensuring the security of Divine City, the Imperial Guards also had the responsibility to scrutinize imperial officers who broke the law.
Especially in recent years, a person from the inner palace bypassed the cabinet and used the Imperial Guards to suppress rivals, causing two major imprisonments that involved many officials.
The present Imperial Guards’ power was overwhelming; even the cabinet ministers were somewhat fearful.
Zhongzhou City was a provincial capital, and the head of the city guard was not of low rank, but even he was afraid to breathe heavily in front of a top officer of the Imperial Guards.
This round, the palace sent three top officers of the Imperial Guards to Zhongzhou, which shows its importance to the Four Sea Bank.
Xing Kun had no reaction when he saw Lin Liang entering the city.
Similarly, he showed no reaction when he saw Chen Shilin and Elder Wu.
Only when he saw the carriage bearing the Cao family’s crest did his expression slightly change, and show a hint of caution in his eyes.
He sensed that there was a terrifying powerhouse sitting inside the carriage.
If the Cao Family sent such a master to Zhongzhou City at this sensitive time, what would they be up to?
Among the nine families in the world, three were particularly noteworthy. Members of these three families had a tendency to behave capriciously, often taking unexpected actions.
The Cao family was one of them. The representative of such behaviour was Cao Yiyi, who had committed numerous absurd actions.
Xing Kun thought of this, and his heart stirred.
The carriage also carried another person, whose Cultivation level was so low it could be ignored.
If one could share a booth with a First Rank powerhouse, the person would surely not be an ordinary one.
“Could it be Cao Yiyi sitting in the carriage?”
If it was indeed her, there would be no need to worry too much.
Although the Miss of the Cao family behaved absurdly, she had a bottom line. She never provoked the children of the real great forces.
It was possible that she wanted to join in the bustle of Zhongzhou City.
The present Jiangzhou City was a melting pot. The fact that she had a First Rank powerhouse by her side was quite normal.
To be unhurried, Xing Kun summoned one of his men, and asked him to report the matter to Minister Zhuang.
They were led by Minister Zhuang on this trip.
After a while, Xing Kun saw three knights appear on the official road not far away.
In an instant, his gaze locked onto the man who was leading the two women on horseback.
Especially, the man at the forefront, his internal True Essence was like burning flames, causing a stabbing pain in his eyes.
“How terrifying! ”
A slight tremor ran through Xing Kun’s heart, he had never seen a Second Grade martial artist with such potent True Essence before.
Even the academy’s top student would pale in comparison.
The most powerful fire attribute True Essence he had witnessed was that of the fifth prince who cultivated the unparalleled divine technique, “Great Sun True Fire”.
However, compared to the man in front of him, it seemed like a firefly compared to the glorious moon.
“Which peerless technique did he cultivate?”
Xing Kun went over all the peerless fire attribute techniques he knew in his mind and was secretly awed.
Being just in his early twenties, this man was able to cultivate a peerless technique to such an extent. He was almost comparable to those at the top of the list of prodigies.
Which power did he belong to? “Could it be, one of those four places?”
Xing Kun’s eyes narrowed.
Those four legendary places always secluded themselves and seldom intervened in mundane matters.
However, once one of their disciples appeared, it would stir up a storm in the world.
The last time was over twenty years ago when a disciple from one of the sacred places emerged, leading to the imprisonment of the Great Zhou’s military god, the assassination of the former emperor, the decline from ten to nine surnames, and the death of several Divine Power realm cultivators…
It had been since then that Great Zhou began to decline.
Thinking of this, a deep killing intent emerged in Xing Kun’s heart.
