When Ye Tianlong and his group left the "Dark Fragrance Pavilion," it was already midnight. The wealthy gentlemen who had stayed overnight had long since found their preferred ladies, and those who had gone home had already left; there were hardly any pedestrians left on the road.

The stars and moon were nowhere to be seen, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. The ornate carriage rounded a street corner, revealing a long, silent, and dark street. The lanterns that had been placed every three steps along the street were all unlit. Fortunately, they had carried lamps with them, otherwise they would have had to proceed in complete darkness.

The leading guard from the Left Prime Minister's Office lit a lamp, muttering, "How strange. When I came here yesterday, everything was fine. Now, not a single lamp is left."

The guard next to him chimed in, "Isn't it obvious? Those lowly commoners must have stolen them to sell for money. Who told the capital to have so many penniless poor people these days?"

A guard behind, riding a horse and carrying a lantern, caught up and hissed, "Old Yu, are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting?"

By this time, the group had all entered the long street, the crisp sound of hooves shattering the silent night. Because Ye Tianlong was currently riding in a carriage belonging to Gilimans, the guards beside it were all from the Left Prime Minister's mansion. Cynthia and the other female Flying Guards were protecting the carriage Ye Tianlong had originally been riding in, following behind them. Ye Tianlong's carriage also had a significant history; it was Yu Fengwu's original vehicle, which she had used when she was in Esnia.

As the lanterns were lit, their group's location became illuminated. A night breeze blew, causing the shadows on the ground to sway and lengthen.

Cynthia, riding in the middle of the group, suddenly felt uneasy, inexplicably restless—something she never remembered as a good sign. She sharply spurred her horse, her entire body exuding vigilance. At this moment, the female Flying Guards behind her seemed to sense the same aura, their expressions tightening as they reached for their weapons—a sign that they had spotted the enemy.

At the same time, Yu Zhu, who was sitting with Ye Tianlong, suddenly nudged Princess Qian beside her, her eyes flashing with a deep, cold light. The man who had been with Yu Zhu for a long time immediately understood the meaning of her expression, and was startled, calming himself to carefully examine his surroundings.

Seeing all this, Gilmans asked in surprise, "Is something wrong?" Princess Qian gave him a disgusted look, inwardly cursing, "Pretentious old man, can't you see for yourself?"

Suddenly, the rapid sound of hooves came from behind the long street, and everyone turned to look back, Cynthia and the others especially on high alert.

The riders were incredibly fast, and a large number of figures appeared in the darkness, forming three parallel lines, advancing like a moving wall. Cynthia and the others could see clearly: a total of twenty-seven knights completely clad in black armor, their faces covered with black masks, the crossbows they held gleaming terrifyingly in the lamplight.

Before the few remaining guards of the Left Prime Minister's residence could even comprehend what was happening, a crossbow bolt rang out, unleashing a barrage of crossbow bolts. With screams of agony, their superior martial arts skills were rendered useless as they fell from their horses like pincushions.

The crossbow bolts aimed at Cynthia and her companions were easily deflected, and the female guards behind them turned to prepare for battle. It was clear that there were indeed skilled individuals among the Left Prime Minister's guards; in the blink of an eye, a defensive barrier appeared around them, blocking the second wave of crossbow attacks from the black-armored knights. Seeing

the crossbows fail, the black-armored knights discarded their bows and crossbows, drew their swords, kicked their steeds, and charged forward like whirlwinds. The defensive barrier, already weakened, shattered after just one powerful strike, demonstrating the formidable strength of these black-armored knights.

A chaotic scene ensued as the Left Prime Minister's guards turned their horses, drew their swords, and cursed as they charged forward. Cynthia and her female guards seized the opportunity to move forward, approaching the carriage where Ye Tianlong and his companions were.

Ye Tianlong appeared in front of the carriage and shouted, "Don't panic! Watch out for the enemy ahead!" Seeing this, Cynthia and the others quickly surrounded the carriage, providing tight protection.

The solemn-faced Yuzhu and the curious Princess Qian stood behind Ye Tianlong, while Princess Qian's twin sisters peeked out from the back of the carriage. Princess Qian beckoned to them, and Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu jumped to her side in understanding.

The guards who were about to rush back, hearing Ye Tianlong's words, immediately reined in their horses and looked ahead, only to be startled. Sometime earlier, several burly men in tight-fitting clothes had appeared all around them, silently watching them.

The black-armored knights and the guards of the Left Prime Minister's residence were locked in fierce combat. The neighing of warhorses, the clash of weapons, and the shouts of the guards transformed the once quiet night into a cacophony of noise. The black-armored knights silently charged forward.

The burly men in tight-fitting clothes also launched an attack on the carriage. Although they numbered only nineteen, their offensive power far exceeded that of the black-armored knights. In a single exchange, several guards of the Left Prime Minister's residence were blasted from their horses, their mounts also falling to the ground. Leading them was a tall, slender swordsman whose longsword blazed with terrifying light, unstoppable in its attacks. In the clash of swords, the powerful guards gained no advantage, instead becoming victims of his blade.

What surprised Ye Tianlong even more was that the magical attacks unleashed by the sorcerers among the Left Prime Minister's residence guards had little effect on these strong men, at most only causing minor injuries.

Gilmans's voice came from behind, "So it's the barbarian warriors of the Heavenly River Kingdom, no wonder they're so powerful!"

"Barbarian warriors?" Ye Tianlong was taken aback. He seemed to have heard the name before, but couldn't recall their origins. It seemed he needed to get the goddess warriors involved; otherwise, things would get complicated if both sides were under pressure. The guards behind were already struggling to hold them off, while those in front were retreating steadily, about to reach the carriage.

Ye Tianlong immediately said to Gilmans, "Have everyone in front move back to block those black-armored knights. Leave the front to us."

Gilmans glanced at the female guards beside Ye Tianlong, and seeing the astonishing aura they exuded, knew they were formidable experts. He then ordered his guards to turn and deal with the enemy behind them.

As the barbarian warriors saw the enemy retreating and were about to charge forward, they suddenly saw an extremely bright white light burst forth ahead, followed by a deafening thunderclap that illuminated the entire street as if it were daytime, even waking the whole of Esnia.

"Nine Heavens Thunder!"

Both the barbarian warriors and the guards of the Left Prime Minister's mansion paused, as any expert knew the terrifying power of such lightning magic. Although the barbarian warriors retreated quickly, one of them, who had been at the forefront, was still sent flying by the attack, landing as a charred corpse.

Ye Tianlong glanced back at Princess Qian, who was eager to try again, and said with a wry smile, "Could you turn the sound down a bit? My ears are about to be deafened!"

Princess Qian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said dejectedly, "That seems impossible!" At this moment, the goddess warriors had already stepped forward, blocking the barbarian warriors who were charging forward again, and engaged them in battle.

Gilmans was also shocked by Princess Qian's attack. Ye Tianlong actually had such a magician by his side; judging from that magical attack, she was definitely at the level of a Grand Master mage. But considering her delicate appearance, it was truly unbelievable.

Just how many experts were hidden around Ye Tianlong, and what was his true strength?

Gilmans felt a pang of fear. Would it be a blessing or a curse to raise such a man to fight Yunaia? However, he felt somewhat reassured that Ye Tianlong seemed to be on his side, and given Ye Tianlong's obvious weakness, he should still be able to control the situation.

The leading swordsman among the barbarian warriors showed anxiety in his eyes. Princess Qian's earth-shattering attack not only told him that the enemy before him possessed strength far exceeding his expectations, but it had also awakened the entire city guard of Esnia. It was obvious that a large number of armored cavalry would swarm in shortly, and they didn't have much time left.

He raised his longsword, twirling it in the air in a dazzling display, and shouted, "Warrior Transformation!"

The barbarian warriors on the field roared back, their eyes blazing with madness. With the sound of tearing clothing, sharp bone spurs protruded from the elbows and knees of each warrior, striking the unsuspecting female warriors several times, leaving several goddess warriors with bloody welts.

"Raise your shields!"

Cynthia cried out, "Everyone be careful! Their attacks are very similar to those of the berserkers!"

The goddess warriors on the field simultaneously raised the small silver shields on their backs. With a few clangs, the small shields expanded into three-foot-wide round shields, which, combined with the lightning javelins in their right hands, kept the berserker warriors at least three feet away.

Because they knew the power of the Berserkers. As the second-ranked race among the three demon races, the Berserkers' strength was comparable to that of the Goddess Warriors. Their greatest weapon was the sharp bone spikes that suddenly appeared during battle. These spikes, which could be launched from any part of their bodies, made them impossible for their enemies to defend against. Moreover, when they entered a berserk state, a single Berserker could wipe out an army. Of course, their weaknesses were also obvious. After one berserk state, a Berserker's life would come to an end. Only a few high-level Berserkers could endure several berserk states.

The barbarian warriors facing the Goddess Warriors were clearly variants of the Berserkers. They also possessed exceptionally strong bodies and retractable bone spikes in battle, but their abilities were not as terrifying as those of the Berserkers, and their bone spikes could only be launched from their elbows and knees.

But this was only the Goddess Warriors' perception; after all, they were a powerful race of gods. To others, these barbarian warriors were terrifying. Imagine, in battle, an opponent's attack that seemed impossible to reach you could suddenly unleash a bone spike, turning an unreachable blow into a fatal one. Facing such an adversary, no one dared to be careless; at least half their energy would be reserved to defend against the bone spikes that could strike at any moment. However, if you lacked sufficient strength, you couldn't even scratch the barbarian warriors' skin, especially when they went berserk, their skin transforming into a natural barrier stronger than ordinary armor.

Gilmans knew all too well how terrifying these Tianhe Kingdom barbarian warriors were, so seeing fifteen goddess warriors able to hold them firmly outside the circle, unable to move an inch, he was utterly astonished at where Ye Tianlong had recruited these beautiful women—they were both beautiful and practical.

He couldn't help but glance at Ye Tianlong, who was whispering with Yuzhu, thinking, "I really don't know what's so lucky about this guy; even the woman beside him is so powerful!"

The two Golden Phoenix Guards who had been mixed in with the goddess warriors had retreated to the front of Ye Tianlong, standing with their swords drawn, watching the battle intently.

Princess Qian, experiencing such a battle for the first time, was extremely excited. Following Ye Tianlong's instructions, she cast some simple and practical attack spells to support the goddess warriors' actions from behind. Although these were relatively simple spells, their power was still considerable coming from the hands of a Grand Master mage. Those barbarian warriors who thought they could completely resist magic suffered greatly. They were either burned by Princess Qian's electric shocks or burned by her fireballs. This made the leading swordsman very alarmed, realizing that he couldn't complete the mission with his men.

Before he could think further, Princess Qian, under Ye Tianlong's instructions, launched a magical attack specifically on him.

With a flick of her small hand, three sparks flew out in a triangular formation, transforming into three terrifying fire serpents before him.

"Dance of the Fire Serpents!"

With a wave of Princess Qian's small hand, the three fire serpents seemed to come alive, encircling the leading swordsman, soaring and swirling. A

wave of scorching air rushed towards him, making his mouth dry. He felt as if he were trapped in a furnace, even the surrounding air was fiery hot.

One fire serpent lunged forward, coiling around his sword as he swung it. The burning sensation on the blade forced him to channel his inner energy into it, while the other two fire serpents coiled around him from the left and right.

He knew that if he were entangled by these two fire serpents, it wouldn't be easy to escape. Tonight's mission was a complete failure; the fact that so many experts were hidden among their forces indicated a deficiency in their intelligence. The tremors beneath his feet clearly told him that the city guards of Esnia had deployed their powerful armored cavalry. If he hesitated even a moment longer, he might never escape.

Without hesitation, he channeled his pure inner energy and exhaled it onto the fire serpent coiled around his sword. The powerful energy instantly suppressed the swirling serpent, forcing it to retreat from the sword and revert to a thin flame.

The two churning fire serpents had already clung to the leader swordsman's clothes. Princess Qian, seeing this, was overjoyed. She turned to Ye Tianlong and said, "I've trapped that guy, how are you going to reward me?"

Before Ye Tianlong could answer, Yuzhu chimed in, "Not yet! Look at his performance!"

Princess Qian quickly looked and saw that in the firelight, the swordsman's eyes suddenly shone brightly, the light even surpassing the glow of the fire serpents. Then, his clothes suddenly billowed outwards, actually repelling the two fire serpents, clearly rendering them unable to harm him anymore.

"What's going on?" Princess Qian muttered to herself, her hands not slacking off as she delivered another electric shock to the man.

"Take off your robe and give way!"

Yu Zhu watched in surprise as the leading swordsman vanished from Princess Qian's attack circle, leaving only his robe seemingly supported by an invisible force, having withstood the dazzling lightning. Yu Zhu's understanding of the various martial arts schools on the continent was now that of an expert, as Yu Fengwu often shared knowledge about various subjects with them in their spare time.

"Bang!"

How could the robe, now devoid of its owner, withstand the lightning unleashed by Princess Qian? Upon contact, the true energy contained within the robe instantly dissipated, and the fire snakes surrounding the robe immediately shone brightly, devouring the robe completely without leaving a trace. The

swordsman's figure appeared behind the barbarian warrior, immediately seeing Cynthia's flying lightning spear spit out a bright flash of electricity and disappear onto the barbarian warrior in front of her, causing him to tremble and retreat several steps, his momentum greatly diminished. Looking at the other barbarian warriors, they were all overwhelmed by the woman before them, unable to unleash their full power. Their bone spikes were all caught by the thin, gleaming silver shield, having no effect whatsoever.

This was also due to their extremely bad luck; they couldn't have found any better opponent than the goddess warriors who had fought countless battles against demons. The goddess warriors knew these terrifying bone spikes inside and out, and since the barbarian warriors were no match for the true berserker demon warriors, the goddess warriors dealt with them with ease.

With a sharp whistle, the barbarian warriors and the black-armored knights behind them retreated rapidly. Those covering the rear threw dozens of smoke bombs, sending a cloud of mist billowing into the air. In the chaos, they took their wounded and injured comrades with them and quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Princess Qian, full of energy, stomped her feet angrily. She unleashed wind magic, and a sudden gust of wind swept away the mist over the long street.

Moments later, the entire street was filled with fully armed city guards. Knowing that the Left Chancellor and the newly appointed Eastern Governor had been attacked, a large number of armored cavalry surrounded the entire block. Not only had Shi Yixin arrived with the generals of the Eastern Governor's office, but the other three admirals had also come.

Gilmans said solemnly to Ye Tianlong, "Thanks to Tianlong's men, we were able to escape this assassination attempt. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble. Just dealing with those black-armored knights cost more than half of my guards, but they didn't fare any better. According to my men, more than a dozen black-armored knights were also killed or wounded."

Ye Tianlong first feigned modesty, then solemnly said, "It's really strange. How did these people know your whereabouts, sir? If it's a coincidence, it's too unbelievable! You must be more careful in the future, sir!"

Gilmans snorted and said: “Of course someone tipped me off, otherwise my whereabouts would never have been known. I usually travel with many guards, but this time I came to see Tianlong on short notice, so I didn't bring many men. How could they get the information so accurately and be able to ambush me here in time? There's no other possibility than that there's a traitor among my men.”

At this point, a chilling glint flashed in Gilmans' eyes, and he whispered to Ye Tianlong, “If we can't find out who the traitor is, I'll kill all the suspects.”

“What?” Ye Tianlong was shocked. Was this guy even human? He was willing to kill his own men for such a trivial matter. Did he even consider his men human?

The steward of the Left Prime Minister's residence, Jules, walked to Gilmans' side and whispered a few words in his ear. Gilmans' eyes blazed with murderous intent. He said to Tianlong, “Tianlong, excuse me for a moment.” Then he and the bald man walked to the back.

Ye Tianlong felt a little strange. What had this bald steward discovered that made Gilmans so angry? He had just noticed Jules and knew that the man's strength was indeed astonishing. Nearly half of the black-armored knights killed were his doing, and the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand truly possessed unfathomable power. No wonder he could become the steward of the Left Prime Minister's mansion.

Surrounded by a large number of city guards, Shi Yixin came to Ye Tianlong's side and said to him, "My lord, the other three admirals have arrived!"

This was the first time Ye Tianlong had seen the Northern Admiral, Jarard, a short man with a horse-like face. Jarard, escorted by two expressionless swordsmen, approached Ye Tianlong and his first words were, "My lord, should we thoroughly search this entire area?"

Jarard's voice was completely inconsistent with his size, rough and loud, revealing his superb internal strength. His second sentence further revealed the man's personality to Ye Tianlong.

"Any suspicious individuals found will be beheaded!"

"A cold-blooded man." Ye Tianlong immediately grasped this impression. If he knew that Jarard had the "notorious" reputation of "Butcher" in Esnia, he might not have been surprised.

Seeing Shi Yixin giving him a series of winks, Ye Tianlong nodded and stopped Jarard.

"Your Excellency, this matter is directed at me, so it's best for me to handle it."

Jeff and Marco Bwe, who had just arrived from the pleasure quarters, also didn't want to see this butcher slaughtering people before their eyes, and they both agreed with Ye Tianlong's words.

Jarard said sullenly, "Alright, since Your Excellency wants to handle it yourself, then I have no choice but to comply. However, Your Excellency must not let those lowly people go; these fellows are all cowardly parasites who bully the weak and fear the strong."

Ye Tianlong was about to reply when several palace guards galloped up. It turned out that Princess Qian's shout had also woken the Emperor, and he immediately sent people to investigate.

Knowing that going to see His Majesty the Emperor at this time would certainly not be a good thing, and that all eyes were on one man,

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He hurriedly gave a few instructions, entrusted everything to Shi Yixin, and then headed to Wuyou Palace.

He had intended to capture Princess Qian, the culprit, but the clever girl had already vanished, hiding somewhere.

"That slutty princess, that brat, she's pretty fast!" The helpless man could only curse inwardly. However, thinking about what she had done, he realized she hadn't done much wrong, and frankly, she was quite a charming woman. As for being slutty? Heh heh, if a woman wasn't slutty in front of him, wouldn't that mean he had no charm?

Thus, Ye Tianlong sat on his horse, his expressions shifting between smiling and gritting his teeth, leaving those around him puzzled and amused.
