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

Wenyuan Pavilion.

An official strode into the Wenyuan Pavilion, came up behind Chen Yu, the Junior Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and whispered a few words to him.

How accurate is this information?

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the official with eyes as sharp as swords and asked.

"Lord Qi, it's absolutely true!"

The clerk spoke with a solemn expression.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave."

Chen Yu took a deep breath, calmed himself, waved to the clerk, and said.

"Yes."

The clerk acknowledged the order and turned to leave.

Chen Yu strode into the Wenyuan Pavilion.

He was still deeply shocked.

Although Chu Xiu's establishment of the Shocking Heaven Guard, Shocking God Guard, and Shocking Immortal Guard was not a secret in the entire capital.

Even the fact that Chu Xiu taught the Killing Blade Manual and the Killing Blade Formation was no secret to those in the capital who were truly well-informed.

At most, they didn't have a clear idea of ​​just how powerful this killing blade formation was.

After all, Chu Xiu had already purged all those in the Embroidered Uniform Guard who were connected to aristocratic families, so they couldn't get close to them at all.

As long as Chu Xiu exists, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be as solid as an iron wall, invincible!

Not just the capital city.

The whole world will probably be shaken!

As Chen Yu walked, he muttered to himself, "The world is about to change!"

"Elders, a major incident has occurred!"

Chen Yu entered the spacious and bright room inside the Wenyuan Pavilion and bowed to Yang Yan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and others who were handling affairs.

He knew it very well.

The cabinet officials were all waiting for news from Chu Xiu.

Otherwise, Yang Yan and the others would have already gone home.

"What important matter is it?"

Yang Yan put down the memorial in his hand and said calmly.

Dugu Tai and the others also put down their memorials and looked at Chen Yu.

"Reporting to the elders, Chu Xiu has pacified the Vajra Sect and is on his way back to the capital."

"A master at the seventh level of the Ascension Realm, suspected to be a disciple of Wanfo Temple, intercepted Chu Xiu on the way."

"Chu Xiu used the killing blade formation he taught the Embroidered Uniform Guards to kill this seventh-level Immortal Ascension Realm expert with a single strike!"

Chen Yu's expression turned solemn, and he spoke earnestly.

Unlike the Wang family of Taiyuan, he didn't know directly about the disciples of Wanfo Temple.

Therefore, we can only use the term "suspected".

"You're saying that Chu Xiu killed a seventh-level Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator with a single strike using the Killing Blade Formation?"

Minister of War Cui Yu stared at Chen Yu with a look of shock and blurted out.

Minister of Personnel Zhao Duo, Minister of Works Zheng Yun, Minister of Justice Dugu Tai, and others looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Reporting to the elders, Chu Xiu killed a seventh-level Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator with a single strike using the Killing Blade Formation."

"Chu Xiu's own cultivation level is still unknown."

"However, the power of this killing blade array has been truly proven."

"Its power is truly immense!"

"This kind of sword formation may even be used in the military."

Chen Yu said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the entire Wenyuan Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

but!

this moment.

There was absolutely no discussion in the entire Wenyuan Pavilion.

They weren't behaving as amiably as they usually do.

Because their own interests had not been involved before.

But this killing blade formation is different.

Which of the Grand Secretaries of the Great Zhou Dynasty present wouldn't want such a sword formation?

If they could obtain this killing blade formation from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, their own strength would definitely increase greatly!

Naturally, there would be no discussion, let alone offering advice to others.

It's already quite good if you don't secretly trip up others.

"It's getting late, everyone should go home now."

Grand Secretary Yang Yan slowly stood up, stretched, and said, "I've been sitting all day; these old bones of mine are about to break."

With that, Yang Yan walked out of the room.

Dugu Tai and the others sneered inwardly, but stood up expressionlessly and left.

Every one of them is a true master.

Sitting still for a day or a year, without moving, would have no effect on them whatsoever.

However, they naturally wouldn't say it out loud, and were all eager to go back and make arrangements.

This news was a huge shock to them!

Whether it's aristocratic families or sects, they will all be shaken!

This night was destined to be anything but simple for the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Countless people are probably going to have trouble sleeping!

Watching Dugu Tai and the others leave the room one by one, Chen Yu silently followed behind.

royal palace.

Tai Chi Palace.

Pei Guanyin appeared silently in the Taiji Palace and respectfully addressed Empress Murong Si, who was reviewing memorials, saying, "Your Majesty, something big is about to happen!"

"Oh?"

"What's the big deal?"

Murong Si raised her head, glanced at Pei Guanyin, and said, "Is it related to Minister Chu's trip out of the capital to flatten the Vajra Sect?"

"A small sect like the Vajra Sect wouldn't cause any major trouble, would it?"

Jiang Wan'er's heart tightened, and she looked at Pei Guanyin with a hint of worry.

"Your Majesty, it is related to this matter, yet it is also unrelated to it."

"The real big event was that on his way back to the capital, outside the city, Lord Chu used the killing sword formation he taught the Embroidered Uniform Guard to kill a monk at the seventh level of the Ascension Realm with a single strike."

Pei Guanyin said softly.

The words just fell!

A cold glint flashed in Murong Siqing's eyes; she already understood Pei Guanyin's meaning.

Jiang Wan'er was even more horrified!

They were extremely familiar with the killing blade formation that Chu Xiu taught the Embroidered Uniform Guards, as well as the killing blade manual he taught them to cultivate.

but!

None of them had imagined that the Jinyiwei's killing blade formation would be so powerful.

Now, Chu Xiu is able to kill a monk at the seventh level of the Immortal Ascension Realm with his Killing Blade Formation.

If Chu Xiu's cultivation level rises to the Immortal Ascension Realm, the overall strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard will also increase.

So, with the help of this killing blade array, can killing those above the Immortal Realm be as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs?

"Shadow Guard!"

Murong Si said calmly and forcefully.

Swish!

The commander of the Shadow Guards seemed to appear out of thin air in the hall, kneeling down before Murong Si and respectfully saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"What is the strength of the shadow guards protecting Minister Chu?"

Murong Si looked calmly at the Shadow Guard Commander and said in a deep voice.

After a moment's consideration, the Shadow Guard Commander said, "Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards protecting Lord Chu are ten Shadow Guards at the peak of the ninth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm."

Their strength is such that they can hold their own against those above the Immortal Ascension Realm for a while.

Moreover, whenever Lord Chu is in danger, one of them will carry him away while the other nine fight to the death to buy him time.

"not enough!"

Murong Si shook her head and said, "Bring them back."

Replace them with shadow guards from the realm of immortals.

She used "they," not "them"!

The entire Shadow Guard consisted entirely of women, not a single man.

After all, the people protecting the emperor could not possibly be men.

This has always been the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Men, even eunuchs, were not suitable for the inner palace.

"Yes, I obey the order."

The Shadow Guard Commander spoke with utmost respect.
