Liu Xi said anxiously.
He shifted all the blame for persecuting the mad lion Tie Ruyun onto Murong Wudi and Jiang Biehe.
He himself, however, was completely innocent.
Even the implication in his words.
Tie Ruyun is still alive thanks to him!
However, what Liu Xi did not expect was...
Tie Xinlan seemed not to have heard what he said at all, and her steps did not slow down in the slightest.
Before long, Tie Xinlan had walked up to Liu Xi and looked down at him.
"ah?"
When Liu Xi saw the chilling killing intent in Tie Xinlan's eyes, he was terrified.
"My little niece, Xinlan!"
"What I said..."
Before Liu Xi could finish speaking, Tie Xinlan, without hesitation, slashed out with the dagger in her hand.
There was a ripping sound.
Liu Xi's neck was slashed open by Tie Xinlan's dagger.
"Hmm..."
His eyes were filled with despair and terror, wide open, and then he collapsed into a pool of blood.
Upon seeing this, Ji Gang panicked, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
After killing Liu Xi, Tie Xinlan felt relieved and took a deep breath. She then looked at Ji Gang, who was standing beside her.
At this point, Ji Gang was already terrified out of his wits.
Having been crippled by Wang Yang's sword energy earlier, he was now unable to move, like a fish on a chopping board.
"No...don't kill me!"
“Your father’s affairs have nothing to do with me. I… I haven’t done anything immoral.”
Ji Gang pleaded desperately for mercy, his whole being filled with terror.
"snort!"
Upon hearing Ji Gang's words, Tie Xinlan snorted coldly and said fiercely:
"A person who is just like Liu Xi dares to say that he hasn't done anything immoral?"
Before she could finish speaking, Tie Xinlan didn't hesitate and threw the dagger she was holding.
"call out!"
In the blink of an eye, the dagger had pierced straight through Ji Gang's heart.
"No……"
Ji Gang's face was filled with fear and unease, and his life force was rapidly extinguished.
Before he could take a few breaths, his head slumped down, and he had died.
"Whoosh!"
After killing Liu Xi and Ji Gang, Tie Xinlan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Zhou Botong, Dongfang Bubai, and the others saw this, but their expressions did not change much.
Then, Tie Xinlan suddenly turned around and looked straight at Wang Yang, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Wang Yang stood still and smiled calmly.
Just then, Tie Xinlan suddenly strode towards Wang Yang.
Before Wang Yang could react, she threw herself into his arms.
"Alliance Leader Wang, thank you!"
Tie Xinlan hugged Wang Yang tightly, tears of emotion streaming down her face.
Initially, she only asked Wang Yang with a try-it-out mentality.
She hoped Wang Yang could help her get revenge.
After all, she and Wang Yang hadn't known each other for long and didn't have much interaction.
But to everyone's surprise, Wang Yang agreed immediately after hearing her plea.
Now that the people who persecuted her father, Tie Ruyun, have all been executed, Tie Xinlan is naturally overjoyed.
Besides, Wang Yang's image in her mind grew increasingly lofty, and deep in her heart, a strong feeling for him arose spontaneously.
"It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
Wang Yang glanced down at Tie Xinlan, who was tightly hugging him, and said this.
Seeing this, Zhao Min and the other beauties all frowned, a strange look flashing in their eyes.
Especially Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, seeing Tie Xinlan hugging Wang Yang, felt a surge of jealousy.
Previously, Tie Xinlan had kept a certain distance from Wang Yang, and it was not apparent that she harbored any affection for him.
However, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo could clearly sense that Tie Xinlan had also developed feelings of admiration for Wang Yang.
"We're going to have another competitor!"
"Sigh...who can blame him when the young master is so outstanding?"
Zhao Min sighed inwardly, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
At this moment, Tie Xinlan broke free from Wang Yang's embrace.
Before she could say anything more, Jiang Yuyan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yang's arm.
"Young master, Liu Xi is dead too! Can we now tour the capital?"
Hearing Jiang Yuyan ask such a question.
Wang Yang glanced at him slightly and smiled calmly:
There's one more thing to do.
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, everyone present was taken aback.
If Liu Xi is also killed, what else is there to do?
After a slight hesitation, Zhou Botong spoke first, asking, "Brother Wang, is there anything else that hasn't been done?"
Wang Yang smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "You'll find out when you come with me."
After saying this, Wang Yang didn't linger and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at each other, and their surprise was evident in each other's eyes.
Without further ado, everyone hurriedly chased after Wang Yang.
...
at the same time.
Inside the main hall of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace.
A man sat on the dragon throne. He was a man of imposing stature, with extraordinary bone structure and a magnanimous spirit.
Wearing a dragon robe, who else could he be but the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?
A man stood in front of the hall.
This man was burly, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, a face as black as charcoal, and eyes as sharp as lightning!
It was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di!
"Father, how dare Wang Yang come to the capital of our Great Ming so openly! He really thinks our Great Ming has no one to rely on!"
Zhu Di raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who exuded imperial majesty, and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him slightly, his face full of contempt and disdain, and said:
"He's just a mere warrior! With the Imperial Guards of the Great Ming Dynasty taking action, he won't be able to cause any trouble!"
In the earlier battle of Tahu City, the Ming army suffered a crushing defeat, and many martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty were killed by Wang Yang.
Previously, Liu Xi reported that Wang Yang was leading his men towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which greatly angered Zhu Yuanzhang.
Furthermore, when Prince Yan, Zhu Di, came to pay homage to Wang Yang, he portrayed Wang Yang as a great threat, which led to the mobilization of the Imperial Guards.
Just as the father and son were talking, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a military officer walking out of the hall with a look of terror on his face.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The military officer stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and reported, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Wang Yang has stormed into the palace!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
"What did you say? Aren't there Imperial Guards, the Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard blocking the way outside the city?"
Zhu Di was the first to question him, caught off guard by this sudden news.
"Gurgle!"
The military officer swallowed hard, trembling as he said:
"The Imperial Guards, the Eastern and Western Depots, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards who tried to stop Wang Yang outside the city were all wiped out by Wang Yang with a single sword strike!"
As the military general finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Di were struck dumb, their expressions filled with indescribable shock.
"How...how is this possible?"
"One sword and my Imperial Guards, the Eastern Depot, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were all wiped out?"
"Could this Wang Yang be some kind of celestial being?"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a trembling voice, his mind blank.
