Yunxi sat under the moonlight, gazing at the stars.
The maid told her that Xu Shan ran away after finding out how dangerous it was going to be. Even now, the maid didn't tell Yunxi anything about the plan of his Elder Sister.
She didn't want Yunxi to take stress and risk her life to stop her sister. Even with Xu Shan's help, it was unlikely that they were ever going to succeed. If anything, she was happy with the outcome since she subconsciously wanted this to happen.
Deep down, the reason she told Xu Shan the truth was because she wanted him to understand how dangerous it was, and return to where he came from.
She didn't realize that not only did Xu Shan not run away, but he was even more excited. He didn't care about this world. However, he did see this world as a fuel for his growth. He didn't feel bad in the least either.
Xu Shan sat on the roof. He had made up his mind. He was going to take everything from the Divine Queen. If she was a villain in the lives of other people, he was going to be the villain in her life.
He had to snatch everything that she had gathered, and use it for himself! He had to take back the Celestial Lotus and awaken his second Celestial Spirit,while also taking her formation.
It was a monumental task, which was easier said than done.
ƥαṇdαsηθνε| He stood up to return to Yunxi. In her mind, she was using him. However, she didn't realize that he was the one using her.
The small bracelet was tightly wrapped around his wrist, as if reminding him that he had another task to finish. But there was still a lot of time for that.
Just as he turned to leave, he noticed the Royal Guards appearing behind him. Not just behind him, but next to him as well. It was as if they had surrounded him from all sides.
Even with the slightest of aura traces, they had managed to locate him. The Divine World was indeed different from the other places.
"Can I help you?" Xu Shan asked the guards, even though he knew that they were here because they knew he killed the other guards.
"I'm afraid only you can help us. And there is only one help that we need from you..." The guard replied.
"And that would be?" Xu Shan asked, revealing an intrigued smile.
"That would be your death. You have killed the Royal Guards. The punishment is Execution!" The guard said, raising his sword.
"I killed the Royal Guards? I'm not a weak teenager? How can I kill anyone? Are you saying that the Royal Guards are so useless that they can be killed by weak teenagers?" Xu Shan shook his head lightly.
"You're probably mistaken. I have killed no one. I just came out to bask under the moonlight," he further added. "Now if you would excuse me,I have a plan to be at."
He turned to leave, waving his hand. However, just as he took a step, a dangerous beam of energy flew past him, cutting a single thread of his hair, as if warning him that he was going to be killed if he moved.
"The only reason you're still alive is because we need answers from you! Why did you kill them? What was your purpose? And why were you with the Youngest Princess?" The red haired man, donned in a majestic Royal Armor exclaimed.
"If you answer honestly, I shall promise you that your death will be painless and Swift."ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
The Armor over his body was different from the Armor of other guards. It was clear that he was in a much higher position than the other guards, maybe even a General or a City Lord.
"As I said, I haven't killed anyone." Xu Shan faced the red haired man, who was twice his size. "But if you still want to blame me, then I will play along."
Daggers appeared in his hand.
"So you aren't going to talk?" The red haired man asked.
He waved his fingers lazily. "Kill him."
As the red-haired man commanded his guards to attack, Xu Shan swiftly moved into action.
With a flick of his wrist, the daggers in his hands spun through the air, expertly finding their mark. One guard after another fell to the ground, their life forces extinguished by Xu Shan's deadly precision.
The remaining guards were momentarily taken aback by the ease with which Xu Shan killed their comrades. It was as if he didn't plan to leave in the first place. He has always been ready to strike back, or maybe even strike first.
Sensing their hesitation, Xu Shan's lips curled into a smirk as he took a step forward. The energy around him crackled, filling the air with an electrifying tension.
"Killing you all is useless. I just wanted to return and rest, instead of wasting time. But if you insist, then so be it."
With a sudden burst of speed, Xu Shan launched himself toward the guards. His movements were a blur as he evaded their attacks with grace and precision.
His daggers danced through the air, finding their marks with deadly accuracy. The clash of metal echoed through the night.
The red-haired man, the one who had ordered Xu Shan's execution, watched in surprise as his highly trained guards fell one by one.
....
The sun had started rising in the distance when Xu Shan returned to the mansion of the small clan where Yunxi was resting.
He was exhausted, and had a few traces of blood on his clothes.
As he entered the clan, he went straight into the shower, without even having to ask anyone where it was. He had already scanned this entire clan before.
As light spread across the city, many people were stunned. There was chatter everywhere. Hundreds of Royal Guards were found dead, all around the city. There were marks of battle through the entire city, yet no one knew who did it.
Amongst the dead, one was the City Lord himself!
