The Human Emperor (1-200)

C160: A Gale Blows!

Troops are valued on their speed.

The eyes of Wang Chong’s ‘Third Senior’ were spread all over the capital. According to Wang Chong’s master, his Third Senior wasn’t capable of such a feat by himself.

Saint Martial realm experts were involved in this matter, and even the Wang Clan was helpless toward it.

Sects had always operated by a different law from the rest of Great Tang. That world was never comprehended by Wang Chong, be it in his current life or previous life. All he knew was its existence.

“I can only hope that master can pass through the city gates safely to reach the spirit vein.”

Plagued with worry, Wang Chong subconsciously tapped his forefinger continuously on the table in the study. The city gates were the only way out of the capital; Wang Chong knew that it was impossible for the other party to not station any men there.

However, the city gates were manned by the Imperial Army.

Wang Chong had already informed Uncle Li Lin and Zhao Fengchen of the matter. Given their current standing in the royal palace, they could easily liaise with the gate guards and have them cause a huge ruckus to clear away those unorthodox disciples.

“I’ve already sent Li Zhuxin and Miyasame Ayaka to support them… There shouldn’t be any problem.”

Even so, Wang Chong couldn’t help but feel slightly anxious.

Wang Chong should have gone over to assist as well, but he had just started cultivating the 《Little Yinyang Art》. It was possible that his presence might simply worsen the situation.

“Report!”

Suddenly, a Wang Family Residence guard rushed in hurriedly. His entire forehead was filled with sweat.

“Young master, the old master has been sent out successfully!”

“Great!”

Hearing those words, Wang Chong’s face flushed in agitation. Now that his teacher had been sent out of the city, that was another burden off his heart.

“Where is Li Zhuxin and Miyasame Ayaka?”

Wang Chong asked.

“Following young master’s orders, the two of them are currently escorting the old master. They’ll return once they are ten li deep into the mountains.”

(~5km)

The guard replied respectfully.

Hearing those words, Wang Chong heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Those who participated in this exercise were old guards who served the Wang Clan for more than a decade. There was no questioning their loyalty.

As for Li Zhuxin, based on Wang Chong’s understanding of the other party, he was definitely trustworthy. If he gave his words, he would definitely accomplish it, even if it meant his death.

On the other hand, even though Miyasama Ayaka might not be as loyal and trustworthy as the others, she shouldn’t be a problem since she didn’t know much about the matter.

The only order that she received was to cooperate with Li Zhuxin.

“… As long as she wants the solution to the flaws of the Spectre Steps, she should remain loyal to me.”

Wang Chong thought.

Different people require different ways to utilize. For Miyasame Ayaka, her fatal flaw lay in the Spectre Steps, and she knew it herself.
