Seeing the beggar's movements, everyone panicked. This beggar showed no signs of cultivation, so why was he moving so fast, reaching the street in the blink of an eye? Several soldiers immediately shouted and gave chase! The beggar had already caught up! They absolutely couldn't let him get near the carriage; that would be a desecration of the Southern Princess!
However, Chen Zhou's speed was beyond their expectations. They were all Qi Refining stage cultivators, yet they couldn't catch up with a mere beggar, someone who wasn't even at the Qi Refining stage. Just who was this person? Could he be a mysterious, powerful figure in disguise?
Several soldiers chased after him as fast as they could while thinking about it, but by the time they caught up, Chen Zhou had already clashed with the soldiers in the first carriage. The soldier in the first carriage was their true leader, and his strength was the strongest among the guards at the moment, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
As soon as the soldier leader made a move, Chen Zhou was immediately subdued. Originally, Chen Zhou wanted to climb onto the carriage and lift the curtain, but he was discovered by the soldiers on the carriage and kicked away. Chen Zhou landed heavily a few meters away from the carriage.
Because Chen Zhou landed just a few meters in front of the carriage, he blocked its path, causing the carriage to stop immediately, followed by all the other carriages behind it.
As the carriages came to a stop, a woman's voice immediately came from inside the first carriage.
"What happened?"
Chen Zhou was not far from the carriage when he heard the voice clearly. The familiar voice immediately excited him, and the pain he had felt earlier vanished. Chen Zhou excitedly looked towards the carriage.
"It really is my senior sister's voice!" Chen Zhou thought excitedly to himself, then suddenly looked down at his own body with a somber expression.
Not only were his clothes tattered, but his face was also covered in dust. Did he really want to see his junior sister at this moment?
Chen Zhou suddenly felt a little uncertain.
"Reporting to the princess, there is only a beggar blocking the way. We will deal with him immediately." Upon hearing the voice from inside the carriage, the head of the guards who had just kicked Chen Zhou off the carriage immediately said.
"Blocking the way? Who's there?" A curious voice continued to come from inside the carriage, which further confirmed Chen Zhou's suspicions.
This was the voice of his junior sister, Jiang Ying.
"He's just an unknown beggar, looks rather foolish, seems like an idiot. We'll deal with him immediately," the soldier said sternly. This incident was entirely his fault, so he had to find a solution quickly.
"Hurry up." The woman's voice came again, and then there was silence.
"Yes!" the soldier answered loudly, and immediately took a long spear from the carriage and slowly walked to Chen Zhou's side.
With a spear pointed directly at Chen Zhou's throat, the soldier slowly said, "I'll give you time to get out of here now, or I'll have to make my move."
The soldier's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Chen Zhou's ears. Chen Zhou could vaguely sense waves of power surging around the leader, which, if Chen Zhou wasn't mistaken, was probably true qi.
Not only was Chen Zhou unarmed, but he also had no internal energy. Chen Zhou turned his attention to the large sword at the waist of a guard behind him.
Although Chen Zhou had lost his true qi and cultivation, he still possessed swordsmanship and sword energy.
However, Chen Zhou was missing a sword. He looked around and saw that all the guards had broadswords at their waists, and none of them had a sword.
"The Southern Kingdom has always revered swordsmanship, so why are these soldiers all carrying broadswords? Moreover, the style of their uniforms doesn't seem to belong to the Southern Kingdom. Who are these people? Could it be that the Southern Kingdom has undergone reforms?" Chen Zhou wondered.
However, since we don't have a longsword right now, we'll have to make do with that broadsword for now.
Chen Zhou immediately stood up from the street, dusted himself off, and slowly said to the leader, "My name is Chen Zhou, remember that."
Hearing the beggar's nonsensical words, everyone felt an urge to burst out laughing. Why talk about names when you're about to die? Did this beggar actually hope his name would live on after he died?
I still hope my name will be recorded in history. In the twelfth year of the Southern Kingdom's Seeking Truth, a beggar named Chen Zhou was executed for offending the princess of the Southern Kingdom on the street.
“None of us care about your name, we just want you to leave immediately.” The leader stared coldly at Chen Zhou and said. As Chen Zhou stood up, the spear in the leader’s hand slowly rose with him, still positioned at Chen Zhou’s throat.
The position of the spear was a declaration to Chen Zhou that if he answered no, the spear would stab him without hesitation.
Chen Zhou didn't deliberately raise his voice. He had his own reasons for telling these people his name; he planned to kidnap Jiang Ying directly! So someone had to go and inform them, otherwise the palace wouldn't know who had kidnapped Jiang Ying.
Therefore, Jiang Ying, who was inside the carriage at this moment, did not hear what Chen Zhou said. Otherwise, Jiang Ying would naturally be shocked and would probably have opened the carriage curtain and rushed out.
However, Chen Zhou did not want to do that. He did not want to use his own name to call out Jiang Ying's name. Instead, he wanted to use his own strength to see Jiang Ying.
Although I'm currently paying for my own cultivation, my swordsmanship is still intact, and it's more than enough to deal with these small fry.
As soon as the leader finished speaking, Chen Zhou's figure disappeared from the spot. When Chen Zhou's figure disappeared, the leader was immediately stunned. How could this person, who did not even have the strength of the Qi Refining stage, instantly teleport such a long distance?
