The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"General Xie, since I dare to enter Yuejun County in person, I will naturally not be discovered."

"As long as General Xie is prepared, the moment flames burst into the sky in Yuejun County will be the time for General Xie to make his move."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said to Xie Xuan.

"This……"

Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment, wondering why Chu Xiu was so confident.

Li Jingtian and the others were also prepared to continue persuading Chu Xiu to abandon this risky plan.

however!

They suddenly discovered that Chu Xiu was gone from the commander's tent, vanished into thin air.

"Earth-遁 (遁地 is a type of underground escape technique)?"

Li Jingtian said with a look of shock on his face.

Ximen Jue and the others also showed expressions of disbelief.

"It's an underground escape technique!"

"This is the legendary Earth Element Technique!"

"I never imagined that Lord Chu would know earth-based techniques!"

"No wonder, no wonder Lord Chu is so confident!"

"With the Earth Element technique, even if Yuejun County has a net-like defense, it still can't stop Lord Chu!"

Xie Xuan said with a look of surprise, "Moreover, this is clearly because Lord Chu wanted us to know that he possessed the Earth Element Technique, which is why we were able to sense that Lord Chu had disappeared underground from the very beginning."

In fact, apart from the initial slight noise, we couldn't sense anything at all.

This shows that Lord Chu is not only skilled in earth-based techniques, but has reached an unfathomable level!

"General Xie, our lord has probably already headed to Yuejun County City."

"General Xie can make preparations in advance and be ready to strike at any time."

Li Jingtian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said to Xie Xuan.

“I understand this matter.”

"Gentlemen, will you remain in our Beijing garrison, or...?"

Xie Xuan nodded slightly and looked at Li Jingtian and the others, asking them a question.

"We will stay in the capital garrison and wait with General Xie for the opportunity to storm into Yuejun County."

Li Jingtian pondered for a moment, then said to Xie Xuan.

"it is good."

"Someone is coming."

Xie Xuan nodded slightly and said in a deep and powerful voice.

A soldier from the Beijing garrison, who was guarding outside the command tent, entered, knelt on one knee before Xie Xuan, and said respectfully, "Your subordinate is here."

"You are responsible for leading the four adults down to rest."

Xie Xuan addressed the soldiers of the Beijing Garrison.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

The soldiers of the Beijing garrison responded and then got up to lead Li Jingtian and the others away.

After watching Li Jingtian and the others leave, Xie Xuan ordered all generals of the rank of lieutenant general and above to come to the command tent for a meeting.

After all, he needed to make arrangements in advance so that the soldiers of the Beijing garrison could take turns resting, ensuring they had sufficient energy when they took action.

Yuejunjun, the county seat.

"The Prefect's residence, Murong Zhi should be in this place!"

Chu Xiu looked in the direction of the prefectural governor's mansion, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and then he disappeared once again.

Since he had personally entered Yuejun County, he had no intention of gathering intelligence.

What other intelligence are you trying to gather?

Find Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng directly and kill them both!

Then, by using the Five Elements Escape Technique to set fire to Yuejun County, the entire county would be left leaderless and thrown into complete chaos.

It should be noted that his internal energy cultivation level has reached the third level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, and his external energy cultivation level has reached the great level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, which is equivalent to the peak of the sixth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

With such strength, even against a peak ninth level Celestial Realm cultivator, Chu Xiu already possesses the power to fight!

As long as Murong Zhi is protected by a master of the Immortal Realm, no one can stop him!

After a cup of tea.

Sheriff's Mansion.

At this moment, the prefectural governor's mansion was still brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Even in the dead of night, the security was still tight, with guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps.

However, the prefectural governor's mansion was heavily guarded, but it was practically useless to Chu Xiu, who had been hiding underground.

Chu Xiu went all the way to the deepest part of the prefectural governor's mansion, to the bottom of a courtyard.

This courtyard was the most heavily guarded, with experts at the Immortal Ascension Realm protecting it all around.

"This Murong Zhi is really afraid of dying!"

"Is he worried that someone will come to assassinate him?"

A playful glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, and with a swift movement, he continued traversing underground.

Using his aura-observation technique, he had already sensed Murong Zhi's presence.

In Chu Xiu's eyes, the cultivation level of the seventh peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm was like an incomparably dazzling light bulb.

In a blink of an eye!

Chu Xiu appeared silently in a room where Murong Zhi was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"Heavenly Escape Sword Technique!"

Chu Xiu moved his right hand, and a long sword appeared in his palm. He used the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique to attack Murong Zhi.

This sword strike was incredibly fast, as if it had pierced through space itself.

Moreover, this sword strike was incredibly terrifying.

However, this sword strike produced absolutely no sound; it was simply the most perfect assassin's sword!

The Heavenly Escape Sword Technique is not just a sword control technique; it can also be used to wield a long sword to kill enemies.

"Who?"

"Someone, catch the assassin!"

Murong Zhi was, after all, a master at the peak of the seventh level of the Celestial Realm. He opened his eyes almost immediately and saw the sword light. His pupils shrank and he shouted loudly.

He flipped himself up, trying to avoid Chu Xiu's sword.

Princess Zhao, who was sleeping next to Murong Zhi, was also awakened at this moment. She looked at Chu Xiu with a look of extreme horror, hugged the quilt tightly, and screamed, "Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly to protect the prince..."

"No, there are assassins!"

This single sound shook the entire prefectural governor's mansion.

One after another, figures approached the deepest part of the prefectural governor's mansion, with the fastest being the Immortal Realm experts guarding the courtyard.

laugh!

however!

Chu Xiu had unleashed all his strength, and with the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique at its peak, he pierced right through Murong Zhi's chest with a single sword strike.

"You...your sword...how...could it be...like..."

Murong Zhi subconsciously looked down at the spot where Chu Xiu's longsword had pierced him, and spoke with great difficulty.

only……

Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.

"Congratulations, host, for your unwavering commitment to doing positive things, slaying the rebel king Murong Zhi who wanted to usurp the throne, and receiving the reward of the true meaning of space and the reward of sixty years of power to ascend to immortality."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Yes."

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

Sixty years of ascending to immortality is nothing, but the true meaning of space!

This is the most important reward!

When using a sword, the true meaning of space is the sword intent; when using a knife, the true meaning of space is the knife intent.

The Heavenly Escape Sword Technique is a sword technique based on the principle of space.

Having acquired the true meaning of space, the power of his Heavenly Escape Sword Technique will surely increase dramatically!

The voice just fell.

A vast and powerful force of ascension appeared in Chu Xiu's dantian, causing his cultivation level to break through from the third level of the Ascension Realm to the fourth level in an instant.

at the same time.

Countless insights into the true meaning of space also appeared in his mind.

It made him seem as if he had already grasped the true meaning of space.

Chu Xiu calmed himself down, drew his longsword, and disappeared from the room.
