CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 116 EMPRESS: SHAMELESS LITTLE THIEF, NO FOOLING AROUND! (9K)_3

When they saw that person’s appearance clearly, the scene fell into a dead silence.

Everyone was stunned, some not daring to believe it.

"Chief Zi?! "

Zi Lianji’s face was pale as paper, with a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest, almost splitting open his entire ribcage, bloodied and gruesome to the extreme!

Among those present, there were seasoned veterans of the Jianghu who could tell at a glance that it was a sword wound!

Someone below the third rank, could there really be a Martial Artist who could defeat Zi Lianji to such an extent?!

At that moment, Zi Lianji no longer cared about his image, sat directly on the ground, and began to tend to his injuries.

The blow from Chen Mo was so vicious, it almost damaged the Root Bone; if not for the Magical Treasure absorbing most of the force, he might have been sliced in two!

The crowd hadn’t yet recovered when another figure stepped out of the void.

Clad in blazing red with silver bells on her feet, her exquisite face was unadorned but exuded a captivating allure.

"Ranked seventh on the Cloud Top Ranking, the Witch Sect Saintess Yu Hongyin?"

"She actually came too?"

Yu Hongyin looked indignant, her cheeks puffed up, as if she’d suffered a great grievance.

She had played the fool meticulously all the way down to the final realm...

Only to end up achieving nothing!

"That dastard... this matter isn’t over!"

Noticing the gazes fixed on her, she frowned slightly, clasped her hand into a spell, hid her figure, and melted into the crowd.

Soon after, two more figures emerged.

Wearing a Moon White Daoist Robe and a neat combat suit, was Ling Ningzhi and Shen Zhixia.

"So it seems that Fairy Qingxuan laughed last?"

"Strange, wasn’t it said that five people cleared the last realm?"

"The light of the stone tablet hasn’t faded, indicating the Secret Realm hasn’t closed; could someone still be inside?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Qin Yi scanned the surroundings but didn’t spot Chen Mo, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"No, it can’t be!"

Boom!

Just at that moment, the stone tablet erupted with dazzling brilliance, shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the whole mountain peak to tremble violently!

[Under the first shine of Ziwei, walking amid frost with sword in hand.]

[Having inherited the Heavenly Mandate, to save Heaven and Earth is my duty!]

A magnificent voice echoed between heaven and earth, as a green-clad figure slowly walked out from the dazzling light!

"Brother Yang?!"

"It really is him?!"

Qin Yi stood there like a statue, stunned.

"The fortunes of the first two realms also seem to have been taken by him; who on earth is this person?"

"Could he be the unparalleled Heavenly Pride of the Tianshu Pavilion?"

"Judging by his Daoist robe, he’s clearly one of our Daoist Sect; do the outsiders have anything to say now?"

Chen Mo descended slowly from the air, his Qi-Blood slightly stirring.

He had refused the inheritance of the Immortal Palace, causing that will to be alarmed and angrily kick him out rather forcefully...

"Brother Chen Mo~"

Shen Zhixia hurriedly went to greet him.

Ling Ningzhi stood by, her gaze towards Chen Mo somewhat unnatural.

...

"It’s him!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice rang out.

Dozens of Assistant Officers in dark-patterned black robes flew in, surrounding Chen Mo and Qin Yi.

Sky Scale Guard?

Such a extravagant display startled everyone present.

The crowd parted, and Jian Yinsan and a middle-aged man with a Hundred Household Officer token at his waist walked over.

"Do you remember me?"

Jian Yinsan looked at Chen Mo, sneering, "Attacking Imperial Officials, openly plundering property, do you know how serious your crimes are?"

Unable to swallow his anger over having his opportunity snatched away, after coming out of the Secret Realm, he went straight to Wuyang County to contact the Sky Scale Guard Branch, found Hundred Households Officer Liu Chen on duty, and promised the two of them would split the "Green Lotus Pill Scripture" and Spiritual Materials.

Liu Chen was already interested in Cangyun Mountain Secret Realm, but considering his public office, it was inconvenient for him to fight for fortune.

Now with a legitimate reason, the two instantly struck a deal!

Qin Yi hadn’t expected that the man he robbed was an Imperial Official, and said sternly, "Opportunities are fought for, according to one’s own abilities, and this doesn’t violate the rules of the Secret Realm; what right do you have to arrest people?"

"Under heaven, who is not the king’s land? This is the domain of Great Yuan. Can the rules of the Secret Realm surpass the rules of the court?"

"The Alchemy Pills were made by my own hands, seized by you both; the facts are clear, with irrefutable evidence. What is there to argue?"

Jian Yinsan stared fixedly at Chen Mo, venomously saying, "I told you, you won’t be smug for long... Hand over the items, and I might spare your life!"

"Bah, court lackeys!"

"A bunch of dogs!"

Cries of curses arose from the crowd, their expressions contemptuous.

In the Secret Realm, life and death follow fate; such private vendettas are truly shameful!

But it was just cursing; no one dared to be the one to speak out.

The Sky Scale Guard represents the Imperial Power, and even a giant like the Three Saint Sect would not dare easily provoke them.

Yu Hongyin whispered among the crowd, "Serves you right for taking my Golden Core!"

Seeing Jian Yinsan’s smug expression, Chen Mo said calmly, "Here I am, if you have the ability, come and arrest me."

"Hmph, do you think I won’t dare?"

Jian Yinsan mobilized his True Yuan, condensing a giant hand in the void to grab directly at him.

The situation is stronger than people, even a Grandmaster wouldn’t dare oppose the court, let alone an unknown junior?

However, the next moment—

Swoosh—

A brilliant Sword Qi flashed, and an arm flew into the air!

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and only after the arm fell to the ground did blood gush forth!

Jian Yinsan was dumbfounded, looking at the severed arm on the ground, his eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

The intense pain hit, and he realized what had happened, his face twisted, and he screamed, "You dare injure me? Such boldness! Hundred Household Liu, what are you waiting for? Capture this beast immediately!"
