"This is the place where the great nation's national master is worshipped. You are not allowed to mess around!"
The officers and soldiers in the lead shouted loudly with ferocious eyes.
The people seemed to be affected by his voice and all spoke up to stop him: "Go back to where you came from and stop being so presumptuous in our great country!"
As the shouting grew louder, the situation became difficult to control. After Xiao Xu put everything in place one by one, he stood up and reached out to untie the black clothes covering his body.
"Everyone, there's no need to panic. I'm just using this for a little while."
"Miss, although I don't know who you are, I must warn you once. This altar can only be used by our country's most respected national preceptor. If you truly have any unavoidable reason to use it, you must seek the national preceptor's consent."
"Yeah yeah…"
"Without even asking, they just casually put things out for sacrifice. They don't take the Imperial Master seriously at all."
As the wind changed, the people's politeness disappeared and they all rebuked Xiao Xu on the altar in unison.
Even the people from the nearby area rushed over, cursing non-stop. If they were not afraid of dirtying the altar with the things in their hands, they might even want to throw rotten eggs on it.
"The Grand Master is here—"
"It's the Imperial Master..."
"Make way, the Imperial Master is here!"
The crowd was crowded, and the chaotic quarrels were drowned out by another voice: "Greetings to the Grand Master!"
The special carriage of the Imperial Master's Mansion occupied the only remaining open road.
"I heard that someone was causing trouble at the sacrificial site."
The carriage curtain was lifted by a fair hand, and a voice as clear as a spring came out slowly. At this moment, everyone, including Xiao Yan, looked over.
"I've arrived at the perfect time. Has the sacrifice not started yet?"
The fake imperial teacher narrowed his eyes, slowly got off the carriage, and walked towards the altar step by step.
However, several people walked out of the crowd and stopped her in her tracks.
"Whether it's started or not, it's not your place to stop it, you..."
"Boom——"
The guard who was blocking the road and talking seemed to be hit by something and flew backwards, landing heavily on the steps of the altar in the distance.
This was a national teacher that the people had never seen before. For some reason, they felt very strange about him and even didn't want to get close to him.
"Sir, please act quickly!"
After the leading guard who was trying to stop the fake imperial teacher blurted out these words, he was thrown into the sky and was about to be crushed by an invisible force. He was saved by a bright yellow talisman.
"But you think you can turn the tables just by relying on your face?"
Xiao Xu lit a stick of incense and bowed to the sky.
He inserted the incense into the green tripod and turned to face the fake imperial teacher.
"I know you've been looking for me. Now that I'm back, shouldn't you show some appreciation? For example, hand over your head."
The fake Imperial Master narrowed his dark eyes as if he had heard a bad joke, and said without blinking, "You want my head? Fine, then we'll see if you have what it takes~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fake imperial teacher disappeared from his original position and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Xu, holding a black long sword in his hand.
"Well, can you move?"
"grown ups!"
The guards who had wanted to hold them back for a while suddenly screamed in shock and almost called out the name in their hearts, but fortunately they restrained themselves.
"Why doesn't the Imperial Master use the talisman? That sword is so strange..."
