Chapter 30 Street Assassination

Without her saying a word, most people present had already guessed. After a careful

examination of the cemetery, Wu Wudi and Baili Changkong came to two conclusions: the coffin was empty. One

was that the former princess hadn't died and had escaped from the coffin herself; the other was that the corpse had been stolen.

Both conclusions were possible. The former princess was a top-tier martial arts expert; if she hadn't died, it was entirely possible that she

had emerged from the tomb and restored it to its original state. As for the second conclusion, corpse theft wasn't impossible either. There were evil sorcerers in this

world who specialized in stealing the corpses of martial arts masters to practice their dark magic,

turning the corpses of martial arts masters into controllable, terrifying, murderous zombies. Therefore, it was

n't impossible .

Since the former princess's coffin was empty, Wu Hanshuang's wish to move her mother's remains to the ancestral graveyard in her hometown

was thus thwarted. Wu Hanshuang was filled with mixed emotions of joy and worry. She was happy that her mother might be alive, but worried that

her mother 's corpse might fall into the hands of a sorcerer and be turned into a murderous zombie, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

The Wu family members reacted differently. Wu Wudi's expression was serious and calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever

. Madam Xuanhua, however, was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and a hint of fear and unease seemed to flicker in her eyes. Wu Saiying's expression

shifted between frowning and smiling, and then she seemed lost in deep thought; no one knew what she was thinking.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Wu Tianhu ordered his servants to level the tomb. Wu Wudi stopped him, saying, "We don't know if she's

dead or alive, so let's leave the tomb for now. Find some of her belongings and bury them in it as a cenotaph!"

Wu Tianhu thought this made sense, and immediately went to the storeroom, brought back a box of his mother's clothes, placed it

in the coffin, and reburied it in the tomb.

The empty tomb of the former princess cast a shadow over the Wu family. The timid

felt wondering if it was true, as the servant killed by Wu Tianhu had said, that the former princess

had "reanimated." Many still believed in the "corpse reanimation" theory. From then on, even fewer dared to go to Chonghua Palace.

The next day, Wu Hanshuang left without saying goodbye, departing from the Jinyang Prince's Mansion and the capital. Her main purpose in coming to the capital

was to transport her mother's remains back to her hometown for burial. Now that her mother's tomb was empty, she didn't want to stay any longer and

hurriedly left, eager to return to Jinyang and tell her elder brother, Wu Tianlong. She left quietly,

known only to Wu Tianjiao, who saw her off until she reached the south gate of the city before returning home.

Wu Tianjiao didn't return to his mansion but went directly to Heaven and Earth.

Because had interrupted his trip to Heaven and Earth. If he didn't go today, he figured Lady Yaoyu would be angry. The thought of

Lady Yaoyu's alluring and seductive demeanor filled Wu Tianjiao with an inexplicable excitement and a burning desire. However, as he

neared Yinyue Lake, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the same person; he was now the son-in-law of the Baili family and could no longer

freely enter and leave Heaven and Earth as he had in the past.

With this thought, Wu Tianjiao hesitated, stopping and pacing back and forth on the street, wondering

whether go to Heaven and Earth.

Just as he was wavering, a commotion arose on the street ahead, and pedestrians quickly moved to

the sides , craning their necks to look. Wu Tianjiao was slightly taken aback, not understanding what was happening. Then

, the sound of gongs rang out: Clang! Clang! Clang... The gongs led the way, and two columns of golden-armored cavalry marched down the street. The cavalrymen were all clad in

golden armor, wearing eagle-shaped helmets, their entire bodies enveloped in armor, carrying swords and spears, exuding a chilling aura. The column stretched

as far as the eye could see, banners fluttering in the wind.

Having been in the capital for over two months, Wu Tianjiao had already seen and heard quite a bit. Upon seeing the golden-armored cavalry, he immediately moved to the side of

the street , his heart filled with trepidation. He thought to himself, "The Golden Eagle Guard!"

The Golden Eagle Guard was the royal guard of the Divine Eagle Empire, numbering approximately 20,000, primarily responsible for protecting

the safety . The Golden Eagle Guard's appearance on the street, with such fanfare, suggested that they were escorting an important figure from the royal family.

Wu Tianjiao waited for a while in front of the crowd on the side of the street. Then, a luxurious

carriage galloped up from the Golden Eagle Guard's ranks. Good heavens! The carriage was drawn by eight fine horses, and on each side of the carriage were two mounted

female guards clad in soft armor. Each of them was stunningly beautiful, like celestial beings, wearing a bright red cloak, carrying a sword,

with sharp eyes and a murderous aura between their brows. They were clearly not to be trifled with.

Suddenly, Wu Tianjiao spotted a familiar person in the ranks behind the carriage. This person was none other

than Cao Wenrong, the Grand Uncle of the Imperial Clan, whom he had seen on the street yesterday. This fellow rode a tall horse, head held high,

looking around smugly , arrogant and overbearing.

Wu Tianjiao, seeing this, was indignant, thinking, "You bastard! What's with the attitude? If you didn't have a Grand Tutor

as your father and an Empress as your sister, you'd be nothing! Look at your attitude, head held high, you don't even know who

you are anymore. Heaven is truly blind, letting someone like you live, committing evil deeds and preying on the people. If I had

money, I would definitely hire an assassin to kill you!" As fate would have it, just as Wu Tianjiao thought of an assassin, a sudden change occurred on the street. A figure leaped down

from a tall building beside the street , a flash of sword light accompanying him, body and sword becoming one, shooting towards the carriage like an arrow released from a bow , whistling through the air with unparalleled speed. 　　Too fast! Incredibly fast! So fast that the surrounding Golden Eagle Guards hadn't even reacted yet; in the blink of an eye, the assassin was already near the carriage, the sword light like lightning, piercing into the carriage. For a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still. Countless eyes stared blankly at the assassin on the carriage, as if in a dream. 　　The assassin was a man in white. The expected scream didn't occur the instant his sword pierced the carriage. The carriage was even more sturdy than he had anticipated, failing to shatter under the impact. It felt as if the sword had struck a sponge, offering no resistance whatsoever. At that moment, his expression changed. He swung his sword back with his right hand, and slammed his palm against the carriage... Boom! A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth. The carriage shattered, breaking into pieces Amidst the crash, a fist, as swift as light, pierced through the carriage wall, striking the man in white directly at his chest with the force of a thunderbolt, accompanied by a whistling wind. 　　"Not good!" 　　the man in white cried out, hastily dodging to the side, but he was still a fraction too slow. The force of the punch struck his left shoulder, and instantly, a powerful blow sent him flying backward, landing in the middle of the street. 　　Whoosh! At this moment, the Golden Eagle Guards finally reacted, and a commotion erupted. The four female guards reacted the fastest, each letting out a sharp cry, drawing their swords, leaping from their horses, and charging straight at the man in white. Cao Wenrong was not to be outdone, drawing his sword as well.

He drew his sword, roared, and charged towards the man in white. In an instant, chaos erupted in the street.

"Assassin! Assassin!" "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" the Golden Eagle Guards shouted, swarming forward and

surrounding the carriage in layers, making it impossible to move. The sudden turn of events terrified the

onlookers , who scattered in panic. In the chaos, people pushed and shoved each other, many falling to the ground,

trampled, screaming in agony. The scene was utter utter chaos.

Wu Tianjiao remained calm. Having cultivated the seventh level of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, his power was considerable. He

moved like a pillar of strength through the crowd, pushing aside anyone who approached him. Frustrated, he thought,

"Why are you all running? The assassin wasn't after you! You're all cowards!"

Fortunately, the streets of the capital were interconnected and crisscrossed. Although there were many people, after the initial chaos and

confusion, the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving behind many trampled corpses and

wounded , mostly the elderly, women, and children.

Seeing this human tragedy, Wu Tianjiao sighed deeply and retreated to a corner of the street,

looking towards the carriage that had been attacked. The carriage was gone, revealing the scene inside. For a moment

, Wu Tianjiao was stunned, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

Seated atop the carriage was a woman. Due to the distance, her face was obscured, but judging from her graceful

figure, she was exceptionally beautiful. Her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore an apricot-yellow robe, its radiance subtly shimmering

.

Ah! Suddenly, Wu Tianjiao realized who the woman was. Such a grand procession,

with the Imperial Uncle Cao Wenrong accompanying and protecting her—who else could it be but the current Empress Cao Tian'e? He hadn't expected

Empress Cao Tian'e to be such a formidable martial arts master. Not only had she calmly parried the assassin's sword strike without a

scratch, but she had also counterattacked, sending the assassin flying. Such skill was truly rare.

At this moment, shouts of killing filled the street. The assassin in white, having failed in his assassination attempt, knew that further attempts were futile

and fled. His skills were truly remarkable;

surrounded by Cao Wenrong, four female guards, and numerous Golden Eagle Guards, he charged left and right, his movements as swift as the wind, weaving through the crowd. His sword flashed like lightning, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound

, leaving a trail of blood and screams in his wake. Golden Eagle Guards fell one after another, their corpses strewn across the ground, blood

pooling into streams.

There were too many Golden Eagle Guards for the assassin to match; the man in white seemed to know that Cao Wenrong and the four female guards

were not to be , so he deliberately avoided them, choosing instead to kill the weaker members of the Golden Eagle Guards as he fled.

At that moment, Cao Wenrong and his four female guards sadly realized that having too many people wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The streets were narrow, restricting their movement; the assassins were too fast and their martial arts too advanced. The Golden Eagle Guards were no match for them. Often, just as they

were about to push past the Golden Eagle Guards and catch up, the assassins would have already changed direction, making it impossible to catch them.

In the blink of an eye, the man in white fought his way out, broke through the Golden Eagle Guards' encirclement, and leaped onto the roof of

a building beside the street...
