Lin Feng knew that person, it was the officer of the Imperial Guards, Yu Ji, who was also one of Duan Wu Ya’s friends.
The imperial guards encircled them which stupefied those who were encircling Lin Feng. They were staring at Yu Ji and said: “Yu Ji, what are you doing?”
“Huo Qing, I should be the one asking you that question, I, Yu Ji, am the Officer of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City is a territory under my control, but now you are here, what is that supposed to mean?”
Yu Ji sounded cold and detached, yet serious, which made Huo Qing stupefied. He then smiled coldly and said: “The Imperial City is under your control? Lin Feng killed a noble of the Imperial Family and he is still free to walk around. What do you think that you, the Imperial Guards, are doing?”
“I will handle that when the time comes, however, since when are you allowed to exceed your status and meddle in other people’s affairs, including my own?” said Yu Ji as cold and detached as before.
Huo Qing’s eyes twinkled and he glanced at the Imperial Guards. They were extremely strong these days. If Huo Qing decided to attack, they would suffer serious losses.
Besides, everybody knew that the Imperial City Guards were now part of Duan Wu Ya’s faction, who would dare to not give him face?
“Lin Feng will come with us today!”
However, at that moment, another cold and detached voice emerged in the atmosphere. In the distance, two silhouettes appeared on a building, along with others hiding in the shadows. They all looked ice-cold. These two people were releasing a monstrously strong Qi which made people shiver.
“Xuan Qi layer! That Qi has the strength of the Xuan Qi layer.
Besides, the other one who hadn’t spoken had only one arm.
“How young!” Lin Feng glanced at the person’s missing arm, which made his heartbeat accelerate. It was said that the prodigious student of the Celestial Academy, who had broken through the Xuan Qi layer a short time before, was called Du Bi and only had one arm, his left arm.
“Lin Feng killed a noble and thinks that he is better than everyone. We will take Lin Feng with us.” Said the cultivator of the Xuan Qi Layer that had spoken. His Qi was abnormally monstrous.
It seemed like these people had come well-prepared and determined to kill Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had said that he could rely on his own strength to ensure his safety, if he left with them, would his statement still be valid?
“They must be from a dark league, right?” Said Yu Ji sounding ice-cold. Dark leagues were influential and were also a way to increase connections.
The dark leagues all represent small spheres of influence. They were divided according to the numerous high ranking officials of Xue Yue’s Imperial City.
Dark leagues were usually created with the sole purpose of hiring assassins. When high-ranking officials had the impression that someone was threatening them and their functions, they sent dark leagues to apply their own justice.
These two people seemed to belong to a dark league.
Du Bi had broken through to the first Xuan Qi layer. He was recognized as a genius of the Celestial Academy. He was obstinate and unruly, there weren’t many people who could help him channel his darker emotions.
“What if I don’t agree!” Said Yu Ji. Immediately, an incredibly oppressive energy emerged from Du Bi and the other person and invaded the entire atmosphere.
“You have no choice, Lin Feng must leave with us.” Said the cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer in an ice-cold tone while staring at Yu Ji. He didn’t even care about making Duan Wu Ya, the second prince, lose face!
It was still raining and Lin Feng was gradually getting soaking wet. Besides in the atmosphere, the oppressive energy was getting denser and denser!
