d.

All of them were moved when they left the imperial prison and saw sunlight once more.
They thought that they were dead for certain, yet they were actually able to see the light of day again.

All of this was thanks to young master Zu!

They looked at Zu An with gratitude.
Even Gu Yueyi’s positive feelings surpassed the negativity of when they were at odds before.

“I’ll bring you guys out of the palace gates.
You all have King Qi’s waist tokens.
Together with this set of armor, it shouldn’t be too hard to leave.” Zu An said with a lowered voice.

“Thank you, young master Zu.” All of them cupped their hands.

However, not long after they left, there was a soft voice that suddenly sounded.
“Wait!”

Zu An’s entire body went rigid when he heard this voice.
He felt as if he sunk straight into a frozen sea.

How was he this unlucky? He actually ran into King Qi here!

He noticed that Sun Luzhen and the others silently moved their hands to their sword hilts.
He quickly sent them voice transmissions.
“Don’t act rashly.
The one who came is King Qi.
He has grandmaster level cultivation.”

He didn’t need to continue.
When they heard his identity, all of them gave up their plans of taking down this person.

They were well-aware of King Qi’s reputation.
This was a man with grandmaster level cultivation! Forget about all of them being seriously injured right now, even if they were at their very best, they still wouldn’t be able to put even a scratch on him!

“Where are you all going?” King Qi asked with a frown.

He noticed that the emperor’s will descended here.
He wondered what kind of thing happened here that drew his attention, so he decided to come for a look.

He just happened to run into Zu An’s group.

Zu An’s thoughts moved quickly.
He immediately produced many methods to deal with the other party.
In the end, he said, “Didn’t King Qi ask me to come meet with you?”

He thanked the heavens that he didn’t make these people wear the uniform of the guard with the big nostrils.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to bluff his way through.

King Qi shouldn ’t have recognized the normal guards, right?

There wasn’t anything else he could do, he could only make a gamble here.

If there really was no choice, then he would just call over the emperor.
Screw it all, if his plan to have him infiltrate the Devil Sect failed, he couldn’t just throw his life away here.

King Qi replied with an ‘oh’.
“Indeed, I was looking for you about something.
The rest of you can withdraw for now.”

The first half was for Zu An, the latter half was for the guards.

Zu An sighed in relief.
Thank goodness the other party didn’t recognize them, or else the consequences would be horrifying.

He gave Sun Luzhen and the others a look, indicating for them to leave first.
Now that King Qi was so close, he didn’t even dare send a voice transmission out of fear that he might notice something was off.

Either way, he already told them everything they needed to know.
As for leaving the palace, they even managed to infiltrate the palace that day, so it shouldn’t be an issue, right?

Sun Luzhen’s group didn’t even dare to raise their heads.
They cupped their hands and turned around to leave.

“Wait!” King Qi suddenly frowned.
“Why don’t I see Liu Chenyu?”

Sun Luzhen and the others’ hearts began to pound.
They didn’t even know who Liu Chenyu was, so what were they supposed to say?

Zu An received this person’s Rage points before, so he knew that it was the big nostril leader.
His mind moved quickly and he said, “Leader Liu was summoned by the emperor just now.”

“Summoned by brother emperor?” King Qi’s expression changed. Could it be that the reason the emperor’s will descended was because of Liu Chenyu?

But that doesn’t seem right.
Would he be able to draw the emperor’s divine will?

He looked at Sun Luzhen’s group.
“Hm? Why don’t I see leader Wang either? All of you, raise your heads.”

All of them felt chills run through their bodies when they heard this.

Zu An was panicking.
He didn’t know how to explain himself now either.
