After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Unlike Qi Miao, Xie Qijun had no plans to rest at this moment. He knew this was a rare opportunity, and he thought he could seize this moment to practice, perhaps even achieve a breakthrough. So, he found a quiet corner, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to practice breathing exercises.

Outside, the herd of animals released by Lin Xian'er had thrown the palace into a state of unrest and unrest. They ran about freely, frolicking and playing, making all sorts of strange and loud noises, causing a ruckus all night long.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth in the early morning, a shocking scene appeared - the animals that had been noisy all night suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was as if they had never existed, leaving no trace, truly coming and going without a trace.

Lin Xian'er got up early in the morning and took Qi Miao and Xie Qijun with her to meet the emperor.

Along the way, they saw people of all ranks lying in every corner of the palace. Some were delicate palace maids, their faces haggard, limp with exhaustion; others were mighty guards, completely devoid of their usual spirit, their eyes tightly shut, seemingly devoid of the energy to even lift them.

The entire palace was filled with an atmosphere of exhaustion, which made people wonder how great an impact the riot last night had brought.

[Host, your actions are quite aggressive.]

Lin Xian'er walked towards these people with an expressionless face, calmly, she knew nothing.

When the three of them met the emperor, they saw that the emperor was staring at Xie Qijun with a complicated expression, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he just sighed slightly.

Over the years, this high and mighty emperor, ruling the entire Jin'an Kingdom, has been trying to comprehend the immense secret hidden within the enigmatic jade pendant. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could never uncover the mystery shrouding the jade pendant.

At this moment, the jade pendant should be in Xie Qijun's hands. Perhaps it will be the key to solving this long-standing mystery.

A majestic voice was heard, "Xiao Shi, never forget that you are the tenth prince of Jin Anguo." After saying this, the emperor let Lin Xian'er and the other two leave.

Hearing this, Xie Qijun couldn't help but laugh at himself. He felt that he was really ridiculous. As a prince of a dignified country, he fell into such a situation in Jin'an.

However, things have come to this point, Xie Qijun no longer wants to have anything to do with Jin Anguo's people or things. In this life, he only wants to protect his master.

As soon as Lin Xian'er and the other two left the imperial city, they quickly rushed towards the Tianji Gate.

However, not long after they stepped out of the imperial city, an accident happened - a group of assassins dressed in black suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road and blocked their way.

Facing the group of men in black who were coming at him aggressively, Xie Qijun said solemnly, "I guess you were sent by Concubine Duan, right?"

Xie Qijun knew that the ruthless Concubine Duan would never let go of anyone who posed a threat to her. He just didn't expect that she would send assassins to intercept him so quickly under the circumstances last night.

However, when faced with Xie Qijun's righteous questioning, the mysterious men in black remained silent, their lips tightly sealed. Amidst this eerie silence, the leader suddenly waved his arm, as if issuing an order. In an instant, the remaining men in black transformed into a pack of starving wolves, pounced with unparalleled ferocity, charging towards Xie Qijun and his companions with unparalleled force.

In a flash, Xie Qijun showed no fear. He flashed forward like an arrow, instantly engaging the group of men in black. At the same time, he unsheathed the Dragon Roar Sword. Accompanied by a clear and melodious dragon roar, phantom dragon shadows rose from the sword, circling with bared fangs and claws, emitting a chilling aura.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian'er, a woman no less capable than any other, quickly unsheathed her immensely heavy hammer, gripping the handle tightly with both hands. With all her might, she slammed it down on the group of men in black. A series of loud "bangs" rang out, and many of the men in black who were unable to dodge were sent flying by the immense force, falling to the ground in disarray.

As the fierce battle raged, Qi Miao stood at the rear of the battlefield, like a steady mountain. His sharp gaze, like lightning, closely monitored every shift in the situation. Whenever a treacherous individual attempted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun, Qi Miao would strike with lightning speed, stopping the men in black.

However, those black-clad enemies were no pushovers. Seeing conventional methods ineffective, one of them quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a seemingly ordinary birdcage. He then muttered a mysterious incantation. As the incantation rang out, the originally small and exquisite birdcage began to slowly expand, as if infused with a powerful magical force.

Qi Miao's heart tightened as he witnessed this scene, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Quick! You two, come to my side!"

Because, with his years of experience and keen intuition, he knew that this ever-growing birdcage was no ordinary object. It was most likely the legendary terrifying magic weapon - the Soul Killer. It was said that once enveloped by the Soul Killer, no matter whether it was a living being or a fragile soul, it would be ruthlessly annihilated.

At the same time, the cry of "Host, retreat quickly!" exploded in Lin Xian'er's mind like thunder.

You know, if you don't escape in time, it means there is something wrong with your thinking.

As expected, the moment the system finished speaking, Lin Xian'er reached out without hesitation, grabbed Xie Qijun, and dashed back like the wind. Her agility was evident as she deftly dodged the black-clad man's fierce attacks while also defending herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian'er's gaze remained fixed on the birdcage, emitting a dangerous aura. As time passed, she could sense its aura growing increasingly ferocious, like a beast about to break free from its confines. Her heart lurched, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

Faced with such a tense situation, Lin Xian'er suddenly turned around and shouted to the man in black, "Hey, grandson, there's something coming from behind you."
