Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1434: Chapter 835: The Invitation Finally Arrives, Guests

With a clatter, it bypassed Ye Zixu and his companion who couldn’t dodge in time, heading directly towards those three people~~

Yue Shi reached out, grabbing the two beside him and tossing them towards the fire dragon, while he himself fled swiftly, shrouded in blood, into the ghostly deep forest.

Ye Zixu and Huang Long hurriedly pursued below.

Sui Yi didn’t stop them either, watching as the two were engulfed by flames and burned to death, flicking his fingertips slightly, a flash of golden light passing by.

Then, he turned and entered the house, pulling out his phone.

After a night of chaos came dawn.

Those tourists with dark circles under their eyes stared blankly, and when they saw the powerful and prestigious official personnel all over the mountain at the crack of dawn, their eyes turned red despite themselves, though they dared not eye the clearly elite Imperial Guards.

Standing with a silver sniper rifle, Xiao Yu watched the house bathed in the morning light of dawn, unable for a moment to reconcile it with the scattered corpses on the mountainside. But after seeing those bleary-eyed people outside and looking inside to find Sui Yi drinking morning tea on the sofa, understanding dawned on him.

If it weren’t for this person, there would be no difference between the top and the middle of the mountain.

Xiao Yu came in, and Sui Yi saw him, pointing at the fragrant morning tea and snacks on the table, saying, "I see you’re just in time, eat something first, there’s no rush."

If anyone else said this, Xiao Yu would turn around and leave, but the person in front of him was different.

She glanced at the house, noting the people crying outside, not perceiving anyone else, unless~~

"Miss Pu hasn’t eaten yet, Xiao Yu dares not take the snacks made by Miss Sui herself."

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi scrutinized her a bit, with a slight smile tugging at her brow: "Seems time doesn’t change everything, you’re still as rigid as before."

Rigid?

A newly-entered Imperial Guard reporting the situation turned pale upon hearing this — call King Yan rigid?

Nevertheless, watching Sui Yi’s expression turn from green to white, he bowed deeply, respectfully uttering: "Greetings, Sect Master."

Sect Master?

Sui Yi was momentarily baffled until he realized he was being addressed.

Still, the Imperial Guard dared not converse more with him, given their standing orders to treat the man as a revered ancestor — bothering a revered ancestor with trifles is ill-advised.

"Officer Xiao, the corpses below have been tidied, handed over to the police for processing; those immobilized inside the house are detained, awaiting you to retrieve them..."

Sui Yi drank tea, sensing some conspiracy within.

Logically, it was a matter for Central Prison, not involving the Imperial Guards here, but whatever the Prison Chief’s scheme was, he dispatched Xiao Yu alone to capture such a mass yet barred bringing their formidable guards — wasn’t that suicidal?

Nevertheless, Xiao Yu turned to borrow troops from the Imperial Guards, which the Imperial Guards actually lent?

"Where’s Yue Shi’s trail?"

"Not found, the inspectors haven’t tracked it yet."

This tone betrays some trepidation and embarrassment.

Xiao Yu frowned, leaving his tea, rising to depart, just as Ye Zixu and Huang Long returned, travel-worn.

No success, evident in their expressions.

"That scoundrel used blood mysticism with forest animals, confusing us, and managed to escape."

Huang Long was practically gnashing his teeth, clearly furious. Before arriving, Xiao Yu had learned that the master on Yellow Dragon Mountain was famous Taoist Huang Long — losing the trail proved the fugitive’s skill.

"Yue Shi, a high-threat level criminal rated ninety-five, his evasion skills are indeed formidable."

Xiao Yu’s comment proved soothing, easing Huang Long’s expression, though he rushed into the house, presumably checking on his daughter.

The crucial Yue Shi vanished, naturally needing capture, yet Chief Officer Xiao who normally acted with fierce urgency, was not agitated today.

"Since he escaped, let it be for now, handle the immediate matters... don’t lose those captured."

"Understood."

Originally disheartened Imperial Guards visibly relaxed, energetically dispersing to work.

Ye Zixu noticed Xiao Yu’s change, gave Sui Yi a glance, vaguely comprehending, inevitably exhaled relief, wiping the grime from his hands.

After a while, external matters were nearly settled, witnessing the tourists fainting after their corpse viewing spree.
