Chapter 1963: Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace

ould have been dead by now.Time ticked by, one second after another, and a full minute had passed. Tang Jian's forehead began to sweat profusely, beads of perspiration rolling down his face.He felt th...Li Chengzhong strode forward, saying with disdain: "You old beggar, get out of my way. This general doesn't need your teachings."

Li Dao ran shouted, "Moving the city guard without authorization is a serious crime. Are the Li family trying to rebel"

Li He yuan coldly smiled: "Whether to rebel or not has nothing to do with you, and whether it's a serious crime doesn't matter."

"If you all die, no one will know about this."

He then glared at Ye Bufan with hatred: “You can blame this kid. He drove the Li family to this point, so you all have to die today!”

After he finished speaking, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. Ye Bufan also frowned, he hadn't expected the Li family to be so crazy, they had directly called upon the city guard army.

At this moment, he appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was consumed with anxiety.

During his time in the Tianlang City, he had witnessed firsthand how powerful these bow and arrows were when empowered by such an array.

One or two arrows cannot pose a danger to cultivators at the Refining Void stage, but if thousands of arrows are fired all at once, even those at the peak of the Refining Void stage would be unable to withstand it.

The clash between the two armies was not something that could be decided by just one or two masters. Even experts at the Integration Stage would probably have to avoid the fighting.

If things really escalate, besides myself and Nalan Yu Jia, everyone else here is probably going to die.

At this moment, he was the dean of Lingxiao Academy. The people around him were either his women or his friends, and none of them were willing to see this outcome.

At this moment, his brain was racing, desperately seeking a solution.

To find someone to solve this problem, there's no hope. The people he could count on are already here around him.

Now left to his own devices, he went over his cards, one by one.

The enhanced version of Bi Su Qing Feng in your hands is indeed powerful, but its range is limited and it's impossible to poison so many soldiers.

The Sky Thunder Orb is indeed suitable for group battles, but it's a pity that my current spiritual energy hasn't recovered, so I can't exert much of its power.

And once such a treasure is exposed, it is very likely to bring itself even greater trouble.

There is another way, which is to expose one's own cards without hesitation and release the minions inside the Dragon King's Palace. It doesn't need many, just a hundred would be enough.

At that time, with advanced weapons and equipment, we will be able to wipe out all these people in front of us very quickly.

If he were to do that, the consequences would be even more severe than exposing the Sky Thunder Orb. He might never be able to walk openly in the Kunlun Continent again.

He racked his brains for a long time, but ultimately came to the conclusion that there was nothing he could do.

Seeing Ye Bufan's silence, Li Chengzhong seemed to have guessed his thoughts and sneered: "Boy, don't think about it. You are a dead end today, there is no second way out."

Then he waved his hand behind him: "Archers, prepare!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a squad of archers surged forward, encircling the gathered people atop the mountain. They nocked their arrows and aimed at everyone present.

These were all soldiers, obeying orders. As soon as the commander gave the word, they would immediately unleash a barrage of arrows.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from those arrows, everyone present grew solemn, including Ye Bufan. He reached out and pulled Jiang Fangzhou behind him.

None of them surrendered, but in each other's eyes they saw the despair.

Although everyone present was a strong warrior, faced with thousands upon thousands of soldiers, their only path ultimately led to death.

Nalan Yujia, if she fought with all her might to escape, she could perhaps carve out a bloody path. But she obviously didn't have that kind of thought.

Seeing this scene, Li He yuan burst into laughter with delight: "Does the kid know he's afraid now He actually dared to provoke my Li family!"

You will surely die today, this is your own fault for having eyes but no sight!

After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter again, as if all the frustration he'd been holding inside was suddenly released.

"Old geezer, what are you laughing at Just wait, I'll rip your head off and use it as a ball!"

Nalan Yujia angrily shouted, "Xiao Fan, fight them! At worst, we die!"

Ye Bufan frowned tightly, just about to fight to the death, when suddenly a sharp voice rang in everyone's ears.

"How dare you attack the Empress's guest Do you have several heads"

The voice sounded sharp and thin, making it difficult to tell if it was male or female.

Everyone turned their heads to look. A man in his forties or fifties walked up from the mountain. Judging by his attire, he was a high-ranking eunuch from the palace.

Behind him followed two little eunuchs, and further back, ten guards in gleaming armor.

Though he was merely a eunuch, with a fair face and no beard, he emanated a powerful aura all over his body. He gave off an air of inherent majesty, without even needing to raise his voice in anger.

Ye Bufan and others did not know this eunuch, but the expressions of others changed drastically.

Li Dao-ran's eyes shone with brilliance, and the beard covering his face couldn't hide the shock on his features.

Li Heyuan and Li Chengzhong, father and son, were even worse off. Their faces turned pale with fear, their souls seemed to leave their bodies, and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene before him, Ye Bufan became even more curious about the identity of this eunuch. He came to Li Daoran's side and whispered, "Senior, do you know this person Is he very powerful"

Li Dao-ran snatched up the bottle of liquor and took a large gulp, calming his shocked emotions before saying: "Zheng Sanbao, the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager's trusted subordinate, and the foremost expert in Tianfeng City. Do you think that's impressive or not"

Upon hearing so many accolades, Ye Bufan couldn't help but be shocked. He never expected this old eunuch to possess such immense power; he could feel his pressure from afar.

Recalling what Zheng Sanbao had just said, Li Dao ran asked again, “Little guy, do you have any relationship with the Tianfeng Imperial Family”

"No way." Ye Bufan shook his head confidently. "I've only heard about it, and I haven't even met a single royal person. How could I possibly be related"

"That's strange. Then who was the esteemed guest the Empress had, according to Zheng Sanbao just now"

Li Dao ran showed a thoughtful expression. The fact that Zheng Sanbao, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace, came here personally indicated that the other party's identity was extraordinary, at least someone who the Empress Dowager held in high regard.

Of course, this didn't include herself and her granddaughter Li Qingzhu. Since it had nothing to do with Ye Bufan, could it be the remaining girls

Zheng Sanbao's steps seemed leisurely, but in fact, he was extremely fast. With each step, he covered about ten meters. In just a short while of conversation between the two, he had descended from the foot of the mountain to the summit.

The Li family father and son immediately went up to meet them with fear and respect, bowing deeply and saluting: "Greetings, Great Steward!"

Zheng Sanbao stopped in his tracks. He ignored Li Heyuan and fixed his gaze on Li Chengzhong.

"Li, Grand Marshal, I ask you, has there been an invasion of Tianfeng Imperial City by foreign enemies"

Although the other party spoke in a gentle and polite manner, Li Chengzhong still felt immense pressure. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"To the grand steward, there is no invasion from outside."

Zheng Sanbao said faintly, "Is there no foreign invasion Then what are all these city guards doing here Have you forgotten your duty"

"I plead guilty!"

Li Chengzhong was already in utter panic, and with a thud, he fell to his knees.

I originally thought he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, so privately calling upon three thousand soldiers wouldn't be a big deal and the royal family wouldn't find out. I never expected to run into Zheng Sanbao, the grand steward of the palace, here.ered a technique that could attack the soul.Although his mental fortitude was strong, this soul attack vanished as quickly as it appeared. But that brief moment was enough for a master to take his lif...
