Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Zheng Qian ran wildly all the way from the East District to the South District, with the younger generation of geniuses and the older generation of powerhouses following closely behind, neither attacking nor falling behind.

The street Zheng Qian rushed through was very quiet. The people here had long been driven away by the mysterious organization. The Imperial Guards arrived only two minutes after the various powerful figures had passed through.

Suddenly, a burning arrow shot out from the darkness toward the shop where the Imperial Guards were running.

The first shop burst into flames instantly, followed by the second and third. Within seconds, the southern part of the city was engulfed in flames.

"Cough cough..."

The 20,000 Imperial Guards were all coughing. Within an 800-meter radius of them was a sea of ​​fire, with thousands of shops and residential buildings engulfed in flames, leaving them nowhere to escape.

"Ah... help me, help me."

"Those in the back, back up quickly, don't push forward, there's a huge fire ahead."

"We're surrounded by fire, it's no use. I smelled kerosene just now, we're doomed."

The inferno in the southern district illuminated the entire Guangxiang City, and the firelight was mixed with the helpless screams of the Imperial Guards. All 20,000 Imperial Guards perished in the flames.

"kill……"

Covered in flames, Ye Xinglei burst out of the sea of ​​fire and knelt down in front of Lu Yan with a thud.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent. Twenty thousand Imperial Guards perished in the fire. I have disappointed you."

After saying this, Ye Xinglei closed his eyes and died. He was just doing his job and hoping for a promotion, but he never expected that 20,000 Imperial Guards would perish in the sea of ​​fire.

He wasn't wrong; his only mistake was his lack of strength, which ultimately led to his untimely death.

Lu Yan watched Ye Xinglei burn to death, then resolutely turned away. He felt sorry for the 20,000 Imperial Guards, but he was powerless to save them.

The current task is to kill Zheng Qian.

This fire was the prelude to Li Mubai's revenge for Tian Jie.

He had no chance of killing Lu Yan unless he burned the Imperial Guards to death.

Without burning the Imperial Guards to death, Wind City and Mo Yuan have no chance of winning tonight's demon-hunting operation.

On the other side, the firelight illuminated the palace, and Qin Yue, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, stood on the east gate with a serious expression.

"This fire is not burning normally; it was deliberately set by someone. Issue the order to have 20,000 Imperial Guards assemble to fight the fire and protect the safety of the people."

In the afternoon, the Crown Prince's residence was attacked by assassins, who smashed the buildings and palaces. The guards, carrying Empress Han's token, mobilized 10,000 imperial guards to clean up the Crown Prince's residence in preparation for the banquet.

Later, Ye Xinglei took the Crown Prince's general's sword to the palace and transferred 10,000 imperial guards to carry out defense work so that no one could cause trouble.

Ye Xinglei was Qin Yue's classmate and brother. He knew that the Crown Prince's purpose in transferring 10,000 Imperial Guards was not to defend against the enemy, but to surround and kill Zheng Qian.

The shouts of battle reached the palace, and Qin Yue knew that the operation to kill Zheng Qian had begun.

The inferno in the southern district must be a funeral prepared by some powerful force for the Imperial Guard. The fire was intense, and every shop and residential building must have been soaked in kerosene. Only the incredibly wealthy Li family and the transcendent Wind City could produce so much kerosene in such a short time.

Qin Yue was more convinced that this was the work of the Li family, because almost all the accountants in Guangxiang City were from the Li family. If Fengzhi City hadn't made preparations in advance, only the Li family could have gathered so much oil in one hour.

Twenty thousand Imperial Guards quickly assembled, carrying weapons and holding wooden basins and buckets, ready for both fighting and firefighting.

Just as Qin Yue was about to set off, the Second Prince Lu Cilin walked over slowly, and she hurriedly jumped off her horse.

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Highness the Second Prince."

Lu Cilin nodded, quite surprised by Qin Yue's behavior.

"Has Commander Qin assembled 20,000 Imperial Guards? Is the city under attack?"

Qin Yue's heart skipped a beat. Was Lu Cilin blaming him for assembling troops without reporting it and following the proper procedures?

If the report is submitted and the process is followed, it will take at least 15 minutes to get a result. Before that, they cannot make any moves. By then, the fire will probably have spread throughout the entire southern district, causing countless deaths and injuries, and the property damage will be incalculable.

"Your Highness, I saw that the South District was on fire and was worried about the safety of the people, so I assembled 20,000 Imperial Guards to rush to the scene to put out the fire."

Lu Cilin patted Qin Yue on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"You've served as deputy commander for over ten years, and your abilities and qualifications are second to none. It's time for you to take the commander's position."

Qin Yue's heart pounded as she bowed to Lu Cilin.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Lu Cilin nodded in satisfaction: "The South District is on fire. As the guard of Guangxiang City, your first priority should be to put out the fire. Don't bring any weapons. Go lightly and return quickly. Without His Majesty's order, you should not participate in other matters."

Qin Yue understood. This was a battle between Lu Cilin and Lu Yan for the throne. He had previously remained neutral because of his powerful family, but Lu Cilin was now forcing him to take sides.

After a long silence, Qin Yue took a deep breath and bowed to Lu Cilin with clasped hands.

"Your subordinate obeys the order."

After saying that, Qin Yue shouted, "Pass on the order: put down your weapons, grab basins and buckets, and put out the fire!"

Lu Cilin was very satisfied with Qin Yue's reaction. The palace had been arranged properly, and the next act would be for him and Lu Yan to prove themselves.

In the west of the palace, Feng Wuhen led 20,000 troops and hid in the darkness. He looked at the sea of ​​fire in the southern district, prayed that Zheng Qian could escape, and then led the 20,000 men into the palace.

Operation to exterminate the demon begins.

Fan Shuangqiang took the two short guns off his back, unleashing ten years of pent-up killing intent.

"Empress Han is mine, and no one can take her away from me."

Hu Can was busy for two days. He was supposed to attend Lu Yan's banquet, but Lu Yan temporarily asked him to guard the palace.

To put it simply, Hu Can didn't manipulate things behind the scenes during the martial arts test, such as by adding poison, which ultimately allowed Zheng Qian to win first place and Lu Yan to rank twelfth, and he was just given a warning by Lu Yan.

His personal guards just told him that Qin Yue, in order to seize military merit, transferred 20,000 of his direct imperial guards to fight the fire in the southern district, without even bringing their weapons.

Of the 50,000 Imperial Guards, 20,000 were transferred away by the Crown Prince. Qin Yue transferred away 20,000 of the Imperial Guards directly under her command without reporting it, leaving only 10,000 in the palace.

"Qin Yue, you're dead for mobilizing the Imperial Guards without authorization."

Hu Can sneered. Qin Yue was the patriarch of the Qin family in Guangxiang City, while Hu Can had earned his military merits through his own efforts and was promoted after being noticed by Lu Chu.

Hu Can, who had no background or powerful backing, sided with Lu Yan in order to build a large Hu family.

The commander of the Imperial Guards held the rank of second grade, but wielded immense power. If Qin Yue hadn't been constantly opposing him, and if Lu Chu hadn't turned a blind eye, Hu Can would have been able to completely control the 50,000 Imperial Guards.

Unlike now, of the 50,000, he only has 30,000 direct descendants, and 20,000 are Qin Yue's direct descendants.

Of the 30,000 Imperial Guards, 20,000 were transferred out to curry favor with Lu Yan. He dared not be careless. After sleeping in his room for so long, it was time for him to go out and get some exercise.

His purpose was to complain to Empress Han about Qin Yue.

Unauthorized troop movements are a serious crime.

Hu Can frowned as he stepped out of the room.

It was very quiet outside, not even the chirping of insects. He looked at the fire in the southern part of the city; the intense heat of the fire must have scared them all away.

“Little things, being timid is the only way to survive. You guys are smart enough to know your place.”

Hu Can sneered. He wasn't mocking the silent insects, but rather Qin Yue's audacity in daring to mobilize the Imperial Guards without authorization.

A death sentence, no doubt about it.

Just then, a sword light flashed from the darkness. Hu Can dodged with all his might, but his right shoulder was still pierced and a bloody hole was pierced.

Mo Yuan emerged from the darkness, sword in hand. His scholarly demeanor remained unchanged, but his presence was now filled with murderous intent.

"Hu Can, over the years you have committed atrocities and slaughtered civilians. You have abducted at least eight or ten thousand women for the Lu family. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and kill you, this scum of humanity."
