This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

The black-armored army numbered approximately three thousand, their silver-saddled horses and iron halberds and bronze swords all gleaming with a sinister, cold light.

These black-armored soldiers were all at least at the Qi Gathering Realm.

Leading the black-armored army was a dark-skinned young man clad in black and red armor.

He was as tall as a tower, with a scar on his face that looked like a maggot wriggling.

A strange and malevolent aura emanated from him.

"Who are you?"

Beside the young man, a commander held a long sword and pointed it at Su Yu and the others, asking loudly.

Ji Lingyue stepped forward excitedly. "Don't attack! I am Ji Lingyue, the ninth daughter of the current King of Chenghong!"

"Ji Lingyue? Her Highness the Ninth Princess?!"

The black-armored youth's gaze swept over Su Yu and slowly sharpened. He then quickly dismounted and bowed slightly in front of Ji Lingyue.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

"I snuck out. What exactly is going on with Commander Mo?"

Mo Wunian said calmly, "Not long ago, several people claiming to be members of the Holy Sect appeared in the Imperial City to plot. Now, the strongmen of my Empire and the seniors of the Supreme Palace are besieging and eliminating them."

"Our task is to patrol the imperial city to prevent any escapees from getting through."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Su Yu, carrying a hint of wickedness.

"Ninth Princess, what is the identity of this fairy? Why have I never seen her in the Imperial City?"

He sensed something was off about Mo Wunian's tone, which seemed to carry a scrutinizing quality.

Ji Lingyue instantly realized that he had his eye on her sister.

She hurriedly explained, "Commander Mo, she is my good friend, not an enemy. Earlier, some men in black came to arrest us, and it was my sister who saved us."

"Really? What about the enemy?"

"That person was lured away by my sister alone, so she must have killed him."

"Oh? Lure her away alone?" Mo Wunian narrowed his eerie phoenix eyes and looked at Su Yu.

"As far as I know, that was a genuine Heavenly Venerable expert. How could you, young lady, kill someone at the Heavenly Venerable level?"

"And you're not from the Imperial City, are you? Could you please reveal your name? What is your purpose in coming to my Imperial City?"

Su Yu frowned. "I'm not from the Imperial City. I came here today at the invitation of a friend."

"As for my name, you probably haven't heard of it either, so I can't tell you."

This black-armored commander was clearly targeting me, perhaps trying to pin some kind of holy sect label on me.

His aura was also strange, making Su Yu feel uneasy.

He was naturally unwilling to reveal his name. They might know him, but that was also because he was Ji Ruqing's fiancée.

He didn't want to admit it.

Instantly, the spear in Mo Wunian's hand trembled. "The outsider's origins are unknown, and he is unwilling to reveal his name. The girl can only come with me to the Supervision Department."

"Men! Seize her!"

Ji Lingyue shuddered and immediately stepped in front of Su Yu.

"Stop! Without my permission, let's see who dares to do it!"

"I already said she's not a bad person. Isn't Commander Mo being a bit too domineering?!"

Ji Lingyue stared angrily at Mo Wunian with her big eyes.

Mo Wunian shook his head. "Princess, you are still young and do not know the wickedness of the human heart."

"The Holy Cult has been rampant today, causing heavy losses to our Tianwu Empire. We must not let any suspicious person go unpunished."

"Otherwise, I will not be able to explain this to the Tianwu Empire."

"Princess, please step aside."

Ji Lingyue roared like a little lion. "Mo Wunian, what kind of place is the Supervisory Department! Even the most vicious villains would be half-dead if they went in."

"If you let a weak woman like her go in, do you think my sister will come out unharmed?!"

"Please rest assured, Ninth Princess, with Wu Nian overseeing things, there will be no problems."

"I will personally vet the girl."

"Make your move, and while you're at it, take the princess back to the palace as well."

Mo Wunian clearly didn't take Ji Lingyue seriously. Although she was a princess, she posed no threat and had no real power.

The pretext of arresting a cult is enough to clear away most obstacles for this mission.

As they spoke, Mo Wunian's men had already taken Ji Lingyue and her two maids into custody.

Several imposing generals surrounded Su Yu.

Su Yu's expression was icy as he brandished the white crane in his hand.

"Give up the resistance, girl. As long as you behave, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Moreover, you look pale and seem to be seriously injured. You can't possibly be my match."

Mo Wunian approached Su Yu with a smile, offering a gentle smile and trying his best to express his goodwill.

But that sinister aura, combined with that smile, made it seem extremely eerie.

"You think you can compete?" Su Yu sneered.

Mo Wunian's expression turned cold. He waved his hand, and several generals at the King-level attacked together.

The white crane sword trembled, and as a group of generals attacked in a siege, the sword light pierced their armor even faster.

With a loud bang, the generals were all injured by the sword energy, flying back ten meters and falling to the ground.

However, this made Su Yu's pale face even more noticeable.

"Go on!"

Mo Wunian knew that Su Yu was injured and obviously couldn't hold on for long. If it was a war of attrition, she would definitely lose!

So, at a single command, the black-armored army surged forward.

Su Yu remained calm, using his swift and graceful swordsmanship to break through all the oncoming attacks.

Just then, Mo Wunian made his move!

He struck swiftly during the brief pause in Su Yu's movements.

Black and red spiritual energy enveloped the spear, transforming into a black beam that slammed towards Su Yu's back.

Su Yu turned around and unleashed a sword strike as well.

The sword light and the spear intent clashed, the two constantly battling against each other amidst the ripples.

Due to her injuries, Su Yu's breathing became increasingly unstable.

Half a minute later, Su Yu seemed to sense something and her gaze involuntarily turned to the distant horizon.

Ji Ruqing is finally back?

A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Mo Wunian with a hint of anger.

How dare you lay a hand on me and even want to take me back for questioning? You're finished!

I'll make you pay!

good chance!

In the instant of their exchange, Mo Wunian saw Su Yu momentarily stunned, and he was overjoyed.

In an instant, black and red flames ignited within the spear, and a ferocious fire beast crashed towards Su Yu.

By the time Su Yu came to his senses, it was too late. He could only block with his white crane in front of him. The fire beast crashed into the white crane in front of his chest, causing a surge of blood energy.

Su Yu's body flew backward.

Wow!

Mo Wunian had no intention of stopping. He chased after them with lightning speed and then thrust out a spear.

Su Yu turned to the side upon seeing this.

The spear grazed the tip of the jade hairpin that was protruding from his head.

With a loud bang, the jade hairpin that bound Su Yu's hair shattered, and her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind.

The jade hairpin is broken!

A kilometer away.

Ji Ruqing flew over.

"The Holy Sect? I didn't expect such a powerful force to be hidden within the Eastern Xuan Region. It seems I need to inform the Sect Master..."

He exerted his full power, enough to rival a Heavenly Venerable, yet he still managed to let that self-proclaimed Holy Sect member escape.

If we are not careful, this force will surely become a major threat in the future!

While pondering, I arrived at the Flower City Market.

The thought of seeing Mu Qingyi soon brought a hint of a smile to his usually cold face.

However, as he flew overhead, his divine sense began to sweep downwards.

Qingyi was surrounded and attacked by a group of black-armored soldiers, and her clothes were even soaked with blood.

A young man in armor injured Qingyi with a single blow.

Her jade hairpin was broken, her black hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders, and she finally collapsed to the ground, mortally injured, looking utterly miserable.

In the past, the Mu Qingyi he had seen was aloof and quiet, detached from the world.

This was the first time he had seen Qingyi like this.

His face was ashen, his heart filled with rage, and his expression was as ferocious as a demon.

"kill!!!"
