Li Yuan returned injured to the palace to report. When the Emperor saw the wounds on his body, he was immediately shocked.

How terrifying must a person, who could injure Li Yuan, be?

The Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle deserved its reputation!

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, Ji Yunkai is a disciple of Sky Doctor Valley. Didn't you know?" The Emperor had lost a treasure, but the Emperor did not seem to know that at all.

"Sky Doctor Valley?" With Li Yuan around, the Emperor was very familiar with the matters of the Jianghu, but he did not know about the existence of Sky Doctor Valley.

"Sky Doctor Valley's Golden Needle Techniques are renowned throughout the world, and the most famous among them is the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle. It is said to be capable of both killing and treating. I was struck by the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle." Li Yuan endured the pain in his heart and explained the seriousness of the situation to the Emperor.

"After the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle is unleashed, it will continuously spin 9,999 times. I've been struck by a needle, and the needle is constantly spinning within my body even now…"

*Pfft!* Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Uncle Li!" The Emperor was shocked. He had never seen Li Yuan in such a sorry state. He was about to call for the Imperial Physician but was interrupted by Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The most important thing right now is to think of a way to destroy the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle in Ji Yunkai's hand. We cannot let her live."

The Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle could be used a total of eleven times. Li Yuan did not know how many times she had used it, but following the principle of using the first strike to gain the upper hand, they had to act as soon as possible.

"Alright, I'm afraid that the Celestial Secret Guard will have to take action in secret." The Emperor said without the slightest hesitation.

The Emperor's heart trembled as he thought about how such a small golden needle had forced Li Yuan, the number one expert, to such a state. This further strengthened his resolve to kill Ji Yunkai and to destroy the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle in her hands.

After Li Yuan left the room, the Emperor immediately summoned the Celestial Secret Guard. "Before tomorrow morning, We need to see Ji Yunkai's corpse and the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" They secretly left the hall.

After a moment, seven figures jumped out of the palace and appeared outside Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

The seven of them held on to their scimitars as they stood outside Prince Yanbei's Mansion. They looked at each other, and the one in the middle said coldly, "Kill!" The seven of them simultaneously jumped into the estate.

Unlike Li Yuan, who sneaked in, the seven of them flew directly through the main entrance, killing the dark guards and guards in their line of sight along the way!

*Puff! Puff!* The curved scimitars in the seven people's hands were like a God of Death's Scythe. The moment they raised their blades, death followed. Their movements were crisp and clean without leaving a single trace or sound.

The seven of them were well-versed in assassination techniques. As they walked, corpses laid everywhere, and blood flowed all over the ground. Prince Yanbei's Mansion guards had no power to resist them at all. When Xiao Jiu'an came back home, this scene greeted him.

"Who are you?" Xiao Jiu'an looked at the seven of them as if they were harvesting the lives of his estate's guards like wheat.

"Prince Yanbei?" The seven of them were stunned and turned their heads around at the same time. Looking at Xiao Jiu'an who was standing under the moonlight, their empty eyes did not have the slightest change.

"Know This King? Emperor's people?" Other than the Emperor, ordinary people would not be able to raise such powerful death warriors.

"Die!" As if they had agreed on it beforehand, the seven of them went forward at the same time and surrounded Xiao Jiu'an, who was in the middle, with seven scimitars slashing at seven different places at the same time.

Xiao Jiu'an had already prepared himself; he immediately took out the soft sword at his waist but did not pour any inner strength into it. Instead, he used the soft sword like a whip and swung it out, trapping the seven curved blades.

However, in less than a breath of time, the seven of them had broken free.

The seven of them had a tacit understanding with each other, and their reactions were very fast. As they were about to fly out, they waved their hands toward Xiao Jiu'an once again.

Just like Xiao Jiu'an, the techniques of these seven people were also killing moves.

Xiao Jiu'an was even faster than the seven of them. *Woosh!* He poured his Inner Force into the soft sword, and it immediately revealed its original sharp edge.

*Dong!* The soft sword clashed with the scimitars, creating a series of sparks.

When Xiao Jiu'an saw the symbols on the scimitars, his eyes flashed with shock.

Had the Emperor discovered something? He had used the Celestial Secret Guard to deal with them!

"You deserve to die!" The seven of them looked at Xiao Jiu'an at the same time and stepped back at the same time.

The seven people advanced once again, but they did not attack at the same time. Instead, they moved in three, advanced four, and split into two groups, not giving Xiao Jiu'an the chance to catch his breath.

At that moment, the seven of them were evenly matched with Xiao Jiu'an, but the seven of them understood that this was only temporary. Once Xiao Jiu'an was able to see through their techniques, they had no chance of winning.

The seven of them looked at each other again and suddenly changed their formation into two, two, and three. Xiao Jiu'an's eyes became dimmer, and his sword skills became more powerful. He did not hold back on his Qi.

*Dong!* With a sound, Xiao Jiu'an cut a scimitar apart.

The eyes of the seven people suddenly widened, and the one in the middle shouted, "Scatter!"

The seven of them immediately scattered, but would Xiao Jiu'an give them the chance to escape?

Xiao Jiu'an raised his leg and kicked the stones on the ground toward the seven people.

"Stop them!" The dark guards and guards of the inner courtyard had already heard the noise and arrived.

These seven people were not weak, but their combined strength was the strongest. Even though they were not weak, they could not easily take the lives of Prince Yanbei's Mansion's guards and dark guards.

The seven of them were stopped by Prince Yanbei's Mansion guards, but they did not want to fight.

They knew that Prince Yanbei's Wife lived there.

In this situation, where they did not have the confidence to kill Xiao Jiu'an, they chose to complete the mission.

With the four of them protecting them, the rest of them were able to break through the encirclement.

"Not good! Their target is the Princess Consort!" The guard looked toward the direction they were heading and immediately knew the purpose of these seven.

Ji Yunkai?

Xiao Jiu'an paused in his action of throwing the sword.

These seven people were here for Ji Yunkai?

Was it because of that day that she had caused the Emperor to lose face?

Impossible. If the Emperor was so impulsive, then he would not be the Emperor.

Xiao Jiu'an retracted his sword and quickly gave chase.

He wanted to see what exactly was so special about Ji Yunkai that was worthy for the Emperor to send out those Celelestial Secret Guard that no one had ever seen...
