Not long after, the guard who checked the invitation letter came back, and behind him were seven or eight warriors, each of whom was at the Jindan stage.
The leading warrior had a full beard and his exact age could not be determined, but his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage.
He looked straight at He Xi with a pair of tiger eyes with a chilling coldness, and said in a deep voice: "Are you Xi Yue?"
"Exactly."
The leading warrior immediately waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Catch him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight warriors with the Jindan stage cultivation level rushed over and surrounded Hexi.
Further out, there were densely packed palace guards who appeared from nowhere.
He Xi frowned and said, "I received an invitation from General Ouyang to participate in the hunting competition. What do you mean by this?"
The bearded warrior in the lead snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "You bold thief, you have committed such a heinous crime and yet you dare to come here and fall into the trap. I think you are tired of living."
As he spoke, he bowed to the warriors beside him who were looking at him in surprise, and said loudly: "Next is Luo Yingchi, the personal guard of the Emperor of Jinling, who has been ordered by the Emperor to capture the real murderer who killed the Third Prince Shangguan Rui."
"Xi Yue, your crime of killing the Third Prince in the Sealed Dragon Territory has been made public. What else do you have to say now?"
He Xi's eyes were slightly cold, with a hint of chillness passing through them, but there was no panic at all.
"You said I killed the Third Prince Shangguan Rui. Do you have any evidence?"
If she remembered correctly, Shangguan Rui should be the first poor guy in the herb garden to become a victim of Feng Lianying's Five Elements Blood Condensation Pill.
Now the crime of killing Shangguan Rui is pinned on her
It seems that the invitation to participate in the hunting competition this time was obviously planned by the other party.
Haha, Feng Lianying, you are so sinister. Not only did you steal my credit, but you even wanted to frame me for the murder.
The bearded warrior snorted coldly, "The emperor's secret decree is the evidence. Come on, take him down for me!"
Seeing that Hexi was surrounded by Jinling's guards and seven or eight Jindan-stage warriors, he was already trapped in a jar.
Shen Qingruo said anxiously, "Uncle, how could they frame Master Xi for murder? Let's go and help Master Xi."
Shen Sen frowned and said, "After all, this is Jinling's business. We are guests from afar. If we interfere, it will only make things worse. It is better to wait and see what happens, and then find a way to help Master Xi escape..."
"If we just wait and see, Master Xi will be beaten by them!" Shen Qingruo was so anxious that she almost cried, "Uncle, you... you are so hard-hearted that you don't want to help me, so forget it. I... I will go help Master Xi myself..."
As he said this, he rushed into the crowd regardless of anything.
Shen Sen was helpless. Seeing that Shen Qingruo was about to confront the Jinling guards recklessly, he had no choice but to step forward and use his spiritual pressure to form a voice, and said solemnly: "What's going on?"
The warriors in the Jindan stage were shocked by Shen Sen's intimidating voice, and the guards outside were even more unbearable, stumbling back repeatedly.
When the bearded warrior in the lead saw Shen Sen, his arrogant expression immediately turned into respectful and fawning, "Elder Shen, I didn't realize you were here. I'm so sorry for disturbing you."
Shen Sen looked calm and spoke in a nonchalant tone, "This friend Xi Yue has some connection with our Qingxia Sect, and originally came with us. I wonder why he was stopped here by Guard Captain Luo Jin?" (To be continued)
