With Empress Chen's order, Kong Wen did not dare to disobey. He only waited for the two to capture Shang Yiqing and escape the Jade Chenchen Palace before ordering his men to chase after her.
"Master, I don't think they put Consort Rong in their eyes. Bringing her along would also be troublesome. Why don't we let her go first?" Nan Yu Lan looked back cautiously and said with worry.
"That won't happen. With the empress's order, I'm sure they won't disobey. We'd better leave quickly." Nan Yu Lan's master said as he chose a path forward.
A large number of guards were sent to protect the carriage in the Jadechild Palace. Along the way, although there were pursuers, the resistance in front was very weak. This time, the two of them ran out of the palace without much resistance.
"Master, we've already escaped. What should we do about this woman?" Nan Yulan glanced at it and saw that the pursuers weren't following. She felt relieved.
"Of course it's to kill her!" Nan Yu Lan's master's sword lit up, preparing to make a move on Shang Yiqing.
A cold light flashed under the moonlight. The hairs on the blade of the sword burst out like beans. Shang Yiqing could already feel the intimidating cold of the sword.
However, the sword did not stab down. It was because a sword had come out from the ground and blocked in front of Shang Yiqing. Shang Yiqing glanced over and saw that the person holding the sword was Xiao Tianyuan.
"Big Brother Xiao, why is it you? "Why are you here?" Seeing how Xiao Tianyuan was so relieved, Shang Yiqing was overjoyed.
Xiao Tianyuan did not have the time to pay attention to his watch but instead stood in front of Shang Yiqing and said sternly, "With me here, you are not allowed to hurt her." At the same time, he clearly saw the two people in front of him. He didn't know the middle-aged man, but who else could the red-clothed girl in front of him be other than South Aurora?
Nan Yu Lan's master sneered: "With you, can you even save me? If you don't want to die, then get out of the way! "
Xiao Tian Yuan took a deep breath. "I am Xiao Tian Yuan. I have been ordered to apprehend the culprits of the imperial government."
"You want to capture my disciple with just your martial arts?" Nan Yu Lan's master laughed loudly, "You really overestimate yourself!" As he spoke, he pulled out a sword flower and attacked Xiao Tian Yuan.
Xiao Tianyuan whispered to Shang Yiqing, "Be careful." Then he raised his sword and rushed forward.
Of course, it wasn't the first time that Xiao Tian Yuan had seen such a sword technique, but Nan Yu Lan's master's martial arts were far above his two disciples. Nan Yulan's eldest senior brother's sword art was like a sorrowful song in a strong wind, vigorous and vigorous. However, Nan Yulan's sword art moved with lightness, swift and nimble. Their master's swordsmanship, however, was swift and fierce!
Xiao Tian Yuan received his sword and immediately felt a strong pressure. This pressure was more intense than ever before, because with just one sword strike, it passed close to the front of his clothes with great danger.
Seven out of ten strikes struck out in midair. The other three strikes were like a roc returning to its peak, but every strike was like a dance on the peak of the mountain. Xiao Tianyuan fought him for more than ten rounds, and the clothes on his body was torn in many places by the sword. It turned out that Xiao Tian Yuan knew that what he was facing was his life's greatest enemy. Because of his rich experience with the enemy, he was able to dodge in time. However, his clothes and hair were all cut open.
Shang Yiqing clapped her hands and said, "Ok!" Her heart was filled with joy, love, and admiration as she showed off her face. Although it was extremely dangerous now, she was still filled with confidence and was no longer afraid now that she had Xiao Tianyuan.
Upon seeing this, Nan Yulan was infuriated as she aimed a sword at Shang Yiqing.
Shang Yiqing knew that Nan Yu Lan's swordsmanship was impressive. Although her kung fu wasn't that good, her agility was also good, because fighting with freedom focused on reaction speed. She couldn't care less and could only dodge.
When Xiao Tian Yuan saw the Southern Wasteland Sword Stinger Shang Yiqing amongst his enemies, he had no choice but to abandon her master and use his sword to aid Shang Yiqing. This time, he sold everything to his master. His master raised his sword and stabbed it into the air …
Xiao Tianyuan was currently being attacked from the back. If he could block that sword, he definitely wouldn't be able to block her master's sword. If he could block her sword, then that sword would stab into his body.
Shang Yiqing also saw this and exclaimed, "Brother Xiao!"
In his panic, Xiao Tian Yuan did not have time to think and could only make a choice in that instant. Other than protecting Shang Yiqing, he could not think of any other way.
He blocked Nan Yu Lan's sword, but his master's sword had arrived, and Shang Yi Qing could not do anything about it. She could not watch her master stab Xiao Tian Yuan, and shouted at him: "The concealed weapon is coming!"
His master was shocked. He didn't know where the hidden weapon had come from, but in his shock, the sword in his hand stabbed out a bit later, giving Xiao Tianyuan a good chance. Not only did he dodge, he even grabbed hold of Shang Yiqing's hand and pulled her out.
When Nan Yu Lan's master realized he had been tricked, he was so angry that his hair fluttered without wind. Under the moonlight, the only thing that could be seen was the cold light in his eyes, which made people shiver.
Shang Yiqing naturally knew that she was lacking in confidence and hid behind Xiao Tian Yuan.
"I must kill you!" Nan Yu Lan's master shouted loudly, and then unleashed an earth-shattering attack.
Xiao Tianyuan said to Shang Yiqing, "You go first." Then he gathered his concentration and activated the sword in his hand, ready to fight to the death.
"Big Brother Xiao, you have to get that embroidered box back first!" Shang Yiqing did not pay any attention to the lack of loyalty she had. Not only did she not run away, she even told Xiao Tian Yuan of his weakness.
The brocade box was in the hands of Nan Yu Lan's master. Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian Yuan turned his sword in the direction of the brocade box.
Although his Master's movements were nimble, Xiao Tianyuan's sword was fast as well. The brocade box was opened up by a sword.
Nan Yu Lan turned pale with fright. At this moment, he heard the sound of soldiers chasing after them: "Those two are over there. We need to chase them quickly. Don't let them escape!"
Xiao Tianyuan opened the embroidered box and the Imperial Jade Seal fell out.
Nan Yu Lan's master was so angry that he quickly tried to snatch it, so how could Xiao Tian Yuan allow him to have it? Moreover, the Imperial Jade Seal was rather close to him to begin with.
"Return the Imperial Jade Seal to me!" Nan Yu Lan's master said, but he was in no hurry to ask for it from Xiao Tian Yuan. Instead, a sword light flashed, and a cold light shot towards Shang Yi Qing.
"Let her go first!" Even though Xiao Tianyuan had always been a calm person, he still couldn't help but be moved when he saw the sword on Shang Yiqing's neck!
"Return the Imperial Jade Seal to me first!" His tone was the same as his unquestionable tone, but even his master from South Yu Lan refused to lower his head.
Shang Yiqing's brain spun as she shot a look at Xiao Tianyuan. Xiao Tianyuan understood and threw the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand into the air, "With the Imperial Jade Seal here, come and get it if you have the ability!"
