C131 enter the palace

The appearance of the Japanese Empire and the attention paid to the matters of the ancient ruins made Zhou Tian shudder. It was obvious that he had never expected the matter to develop to this point.

But just as Qin Shaojie had said, no one could control the situation before their eyes. The only way was for the disciples of the Holy Flame Academy s to be cautious while outside. If he could not even preserve his life, then everything else would just be empty talk.

As for who would survive in this chaos, that would depend on their own life.

Of course, it was still too early to say who the big winners of the ancient ruins were. However, Qin Shaojie knew very well that no matter what, he had to participate in this time's ancient ruins.

Right now, their only hope was to leave as many seeds of Great Yan Dynasty or Holy Flame Academy as possible.

"Those assembly tokens were randomly scattered. Originally, I wanted to let the students have a good time out of love, but now, it seems, I hope that they can survive."

How could they not know about the Japanese Empire? Once the Empire got involved in this matter, the Great Yan Dynasty would probably be flooded with a river of blood. Furthermore, the rumours were that the imperial government was in a mess and had no effect on the Japanese Empire. If this time, the elites of the younger generation were to be wiped out by the Japanese Empire, it would be a fatal blow to him. When their foundations were shaken, the surrounding empires would not need the Japanese Empire to do anything.

A bitter look appeared on Zhou Tian's face. Apparently, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

However, it was impossible to stop them now. Everything could only depend on their lives.

After communicating with Zhou Tian, Qin Shaojie did not linger in Holy Flame Academy for too long and left in a hurry.

Although no one knew when the ancient ruins would be opened in the Holy Flame Academy, based on Tian Zhou's estimation, it shouldn't take more than three months. If there were still people who did not get their assembly token within three months, it meant that there was a high chance that they would lose this opportunity.

Although Zhou Tian had left Qin Shaojie with an assembly token, but it was clearly not enough for him. After all, he had promised to give Wen Ya a piece.

The most important thing was, if he had enough gathering orders, there would be some risks that he would have to take. Otherwise, if he met any vicious people, his life would be on the line.

Moreover, Qin Shaojie had already planned to enter the Ancient Ruins. If he did not have his own men and horses, even if he had the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet, it would not be as effective as Qin Shaojie. Therefore, he had to form his own team. This was partly to train them, but also to protect them …

The key to forming a team was this assembly order.

Fortunately, in order to raise Qin Shaojie's strength and level, Zhou Tian had also specially opened up a green pathway for Qin Shaojie. If he needed it, he could enter the True Martial Tower to cultivate at any time.

Based on Qin Shaojie's current peak level of Genuine Force, he would most likely be at a huge disadvantage in the competition for the ancient ruins. From Zhou Tian's point of view, he would not even be able to resist the strength of those who entered the ancient ruins. Only those who had stepped into the Three Spiritual Realms were barely qualified to protect themselves.

And True Martial Tower was one of the very few methods to raise Qin Shaojie in a short period of time with no side effects.

Naturally, Qin Shaojie would not reject such an arrangement. Initially, he did not want to raise his own strength so quickly, but it seemed that he had no other choice. On one hand, he needed to increase his own Spiritual Sense and increase his control over the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet, and on the other hand, his Three Spiritual Realms was the most competitive.

But before that, Qin Shaojie needed to see Qin Mai.

The palace, a place that was both mysterious and reverent to ordinary people. This place was practically covered by yellow and red buildings, and despite Qin Shaojie's many years of experience, he still felt a sense of shock.

As the most authoritative representative of the mortal world, the imperial court could not even be compared to some sects with respect to the nobility that seeped out from the bones and blood vessels.

Almost all of the authority in the secular world was under the control of the royal family. On the contrary, the sects wouldn't interfere at all with these management. On one hand, it was too jumbled, and on the other hand, it was completely different from the sect's pursuit.

With Qin Mai's spirit tablet in his hand, it would not be difficult for him to freely enter and exit the palace. Furthermore, Qin Shaojie was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he did not pose a threat to these imperial guards.

Qin Shaojie frowned slightly as he entered the Imperial Palace. There were a lot of experts walking around the palace, and from the looks of it, they were in a hurry. Even though they had controlled their expressions extremely well, they could tell that ordinary days were not like this.

It seemed that something had really happened in the Imperial Palace.

In the Imperial Palace, with someone from the palace leading the way, Qin Shaojie was extremely careful. This time, entering the Imperial Family would be taking a huge risk, after all, it would be fine if he met Qin Mai, but if he met Qin Zhu, it would be extremely troublesome. With the killing intent that Qin Zhu had for him, even more so, he would not let him off the hook in the Imperial Palace.

He kept a low profile the entire way, but fortunately, he did not meet anyone from Qin Zhu. But thinking about it, if it was according to what Zhou Tian said, Qin Zhu would probably be too busy to do anything.

"The fact that Great Yan Dynasty is able to flourish for so many years is not without reason. At the very least, all of these palace guards are quite strong. "

From time to time, his gaze would sweep past all of them and Qin Shaojie spoke slowly. Most of them were in Genuine Force, and some were even Three Spiritual Realms. This power looked far inferior to the Holy Flame Academy's, but one must know that these people were strong practitioners who had experienced countless life and death situations in the army.

Regardless of whether it was combat strength or the potential below life and death, it was much more powerful than an ordinary martial artist. Most importantly, the tactics in the army were enough to scare people. There were many experts in the sect, but it was obviously very difficult to gather all of them together. Most of them would be a one-on-one fight.

But troops were different. What they cared about was the prohibition, and what they cared about was the group effect. Therefore, a hundred profound practitioners were enough to threaten a practitioner at the peak of the Three Spiritual Realms.

If over a hundred people from the Three Spiritual Realms units were to form a formation, even the Earthly Yuan Stage expert would have to be weighed.

This was the difference between an army and an ordinary sect.

With the strength of these guards Great Yan Dynasty had seen for herself, even if she wanted to force her way in, she would have to pay an absolute price. Furthermore, if there was no Earthly Yuan Stage expert in the palace, Qin Shaojie would definitely not believe it. Whether it was Qin Zhu or Qin Mai, both of them were able to use Earthly Yuan Stage expert, which meant that there were many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the palace.

"Gongzi, it's right in front!"

After the seven to eight turns, the guide slowly stopped and pointed at a manor before retreating. There were many rules within the palace and there were no rules that allowed one to exceed them. This was the only way to survive within the imperial family.

He raised his head and looked at the mansion in front of him. The surrounding inner guards were tightly guarded and their bodies were emitting an extremely tyrannical aura. It seemed that Qin Mai was rather good at choosing people. These people were even more powerful than the palace guards he had seen before.

Every prince had a certain number of spots to choose their loyal guards. These guards were their true loyalty. Even if they were to give an order, the palace guards would not hesitate to do so. Hence, every entry was extremely valuable. And these loyal followers were also the ones most loved by the princes.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie took the two jade plates in his hands and headed directly into the palace. Upon seeing the jade medallion, the originally murderous faces all revealed respectful expressions. As Qin Mai's loyal mother, she was naturally able to recognize this jade medallion as Qin Mai's most intimate item. To be able to hold onto the jade tablet, it showed that Qin Shaojie's identity was different.

Entering the residence, a wave of rich and powerful aura welcomed them. Every building here was meticulously designed and decorated, if any other person were to appear here, then it was possible that the entire mansion would be shocking enough. But Qin Shaojie was not an ordinary person, so he immediately walked inside.

"Bro, you're finally here."

After the surrounding people retreated, the excitement on Qin Mai's face could no longer be concealed. During this period of time, he had also allowed Liu Mubai to find Qin Shaojie many times, but he had always returned empty-handed. Although he brought back Qin Shaojie's letter in the end, it was nothing compared to Qin Shaojie coming personally.

Furthermore, Qin Mei was not stupid, the fact that Qin Shaojie had specially come to the Imperial Family meant that his purpose this time was not simple.

Just now, he had to act in front of everyone, not only to protect his own dignity, but also to protect Qin Shaojie. There were too many rules within the Imperial Family, and once he acted again, his life would be at stake. Even if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that others would agree.

"Your injuries seem to be more troublesome."

Looking at the pale white face of Qin Mai, Qin Shaojie frowned. His body's problems had worsened even more than he had imagined. The last time he had survived was much better than now. Only a month had passed, but he didn't expect it to be like this. There did not seem to be any major problems with his body. Other than the slight difference in color, there seemed to be nothing else.

"Swallow this. It'll make you feel better." With a flick of his finger, a thick pill shot towards Qin Mai. Qin Shaojie had specially obtained this pill from Zhou Tian, and even with Qin Mai's status, it was extremely difficult to obtain it within the Imperial Family.
