"No..." Completely exposed, Yu Qianqian burst into tears, as if she had lost her mind. Surrounded by soldiers, she screamed wildly, clutching her head, "My father was framed! He's not a traitor! He didn't commit treason..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sudden dizziness. Due to repeated fear and intimidation, she became disoriented and immediately fainted.

Then, at the spot where Yu Qianqian fell, countless soldiers approached, brandishing their swords.

Staring intently at the unconscious Yu Qianqian on the ground, Mu Feiyu crossed his hands behind his back and coldly raised his voice: "By imperial decree, Yu Qianqian, a remnant of the traitor, has impersonated the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, abused her power for personal gain, and deceived the emperor; from this moment forward, she shall be imprisoned in the palace jail to await further judgment!" With that, he waved his hand, signaling his men to take her away.

"Wait a minute! You have no proof. What gives you the right to arrest people like this?" Hua Mancheng suddenly stepped forward, approaching the crowd. His eyes flashed with an unusually cold and fierce light as he shot towards Mu Feiyu. His tone was neither loud nor soft, but it was as if thunder had struck the ears.

As he finished speaking, the Shadowless Sword at his waist flew out of its sheath with a whoosh, and with a casual grip, its cold gleam was revealed.

The soldiers surrounding Yu Qianqian quickly took a step back, and the sharp blades that had been pointing in the same direction also retracted.

Mu Feiyu stood motionless, meeting Hua Mancheng's gaze with a dismissive look: "Hmph! You are but a lowly commoner, you have no right to interfere in royal affairs. If you don't want to die, you'd better get lost!"

The entire street was deathly silent, as if the bustling scenes of the past were just an illusion. The only thing in the scene was the bloodthirsty killing intent that silently boiled between the two sides.

Hua Mancheng shifted his gaze, ignoring Mu Feiyu and the assembled soldiers, fixing his intense eyes on Yu Qianqian. He chuckled softly, and a rebuke swiftly burst from his mouth: "We are all born as human beings, what is the difference between noble and lowly? I have roamed the martial world for many years, relying solely on my abilities to act as I please. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on her is courting death!"

Without pausing for a moment after he finished speaking, he pressed forward step by step toward Mu Feiyu, displaying the carefree and unrestrained demeanor of a playboy. However, as he glared at the king-like man, his eyes blazed with fury.

Mu Feiyu's attendant was immediately terrified and hurriedly asked him, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Mu Feiyu glanced coldly at Hua Mancheng, her sharp eyes quickly shifting before revealing a sinister smile. She pointed her folding fan at Yu Qianqian and said, "Take down this remnant of the traitor first!"

Upon hearing this, his men pounced on Yu Qianqian like wolves devouring their prey. In just a few moments, the petite woman was already beneath their grasp.

Hua Mancheng, who was originally three feet away from Mu Feiyu, was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a white figure that swept past like lightning. With the rise and fall of the sword, countless visible arcs of light appeared in the air, and the people around were directly blown away by the force of the wind.

In that instant, Hua Mancheng appeared beside Yu Qianqian.

With just this one move, he was swift, ruthless, and accurate. His movements were so exquisite that they were impossible to fathom. Even up to this moment, he had not yet attacked anyone. He simply wanted to take Yu Qianqian back by surprise. However, this kind of elusive technique always exuded a strong killing intent, causing everyone in the room to gasp in shock. Even the usually arrogant Mu Feiyu was stunned by it.

It's simply unimaginable that there could be someone in this world with such cunning and ruthless agility, capable of wielding such power with lightness skill. Looking across the entire Northern You Kingdom, I'm afraid that apart from the mysterious and unpredictable Nine Heavens Pavilion under the late emperor, no one else could do it...
