On the night of the second day occupied by the Qing army, Kaiyuan City had already closed all the gates, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave. A huge black eagle hovered hundreds of feet above Kaiyuan City, and the Qing army patrolling the city did not find it..

The Qinghe army did not kill and rob the people of Kaiyuan City like Yuling Pass. Mucheng Tuo was different from Qingye Xinyi. He gave strict orders not to disturb the people of Kaiyuan City. No one dared to disobey the orders of General Tian in the Qinghe army. The people of Kaiyuan City escaped temporarily..

Even if some soldiers of Qinghe who were lucky broke into some common people's homes to rob money and bully men and women, they were soon discovered and arrested by the Qinghe army. All these people were executed without exception. In the eyes of the Qinghe people, their crimes were nothing, but they violated the orders of the Heavenly General and must die! Kaiyuan City was very calm now. The common people all closed their doors and only the soldiers of Qinghe who were patrolling the streets at night..

The giant eagle bent down at its master's signal and headed straight for Kaiyuan City. The giant eagle was soon discovered by the Qinghe garrison in the city. With a series of shouts of "enemy attack," countless bows and crossbows shot at the giant eagle..

This eagle was huge, so naturally, many arrows hit its body. However, the giant eagle had a strange armor on it. At this moment, the armor changed, covering the giant eagle and all the people on it. The ordinary arrows were completely useless..

When the giant eagle descended several hundred feet away from Kaiyuan City, the ordinary Qinghe soldiers did not notice that a small black dot jumped off the giant eagle and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye..

By the time the Qinghe experts arrived, the eagle had already flown away from Kaiyuan City and disappeared..

All the Qinghe people who saw this eagle were confused. Many Qinghe generals suspected that someone had taken the opportunity to enter the city, but they still found nothing after searching for a long time..

The giant eagle wearing the strange armor was Gu Xifeng's mount, Ye Le. After entering Kaiyuan City, Gu Xifeng had already quietly arrived at an inn in the city..

This inn was not deserted. There were still many guests staying inside. These guests naturally had nowhere to go after such a big change. They had to discuss with the inn manager to continue renting. The manager was also a kind person. Not only did he agree readily, he did not take the opportunity to raise the room price..

At this time, most of the guests in the inn had already fallen asleep, and the shopkeeper had also returned to his room..

As soon as he entered the room, the shopkeeper found that there was someone in his room. His expression immediately darkened. He silently sized up the young man sitting at the table drinking tea. This person looked ordinary but had an extraordinary bearing. It was Gu Xifeng in disguise..

The shopkeeper quietly put his hand into his sleeve nervously and cautiously said," Who are you, sir? I'm just a businessman. Why did you come to my shop?" Gu Xifeng took out a token from his pocket and threw it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper caught it quickly. He only took a glance and immediately bowed respectfully." Zhao Donglai, manager of the Dark Star Branch of Kaiyuan City, pays his respects to the Deputy Commander.".

"No need to be polite," Gu Xifeng said."I want to know about the situation in Kaiyuan City today..

Zhao Donglai returned the token and said with a serious expression,"Sir, the Qinghe Army hiding in the Qing Yan Hall suddenly attacked the Imperial Palace last night. After that, a traitor appeared in the Kaiyuan City Guards and released a large number of Qinghe Army into the city. The Imperial City is still unclear. The City Guards suffered heavy losses. Even if they did not die, most of them surrendered to the Qinghe Army.".

Gu Xifeng nodded. Zhao Donglai's words were not too different from what he knew. He asked again," What is the strength of the Qinghe Army in the city now? Do you have any information on the experts?".

Zhao Donglai did not hesitate to say the strength of the Qing army, but after he finished speaking, he fell into silence, and his face was somewhat ashamed..

After a while, he continued," As for the experts of the Qinghe Army, we don't know yet. The famous experts of the Qingyan Hall have all gone to the border of East Xia. The one who attacked this time should be an expert secretly sent from the Qinghe Kingdom..

Gu Xifeng's expression turned ugly when he mentioned the border of East Xia. Although there was no news yet, it was certain that the Qinghe Army had betrayed the alliance. The battlefield on the southern front must have been ambushed by the Qinghe Army. However, he did not know how much the Taichu Army had lost under Lin Chuhe's command, and whether his friends were okay..

Just as Gu Xifeng was in a state of deep thought, Zhao Donglai revealed a piece of shocking news." Sir, judging from the commotion in the palace, it's highly possible that a battle of saints has taken place. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Absolute Beginning has lost.

" What?" Gu Xifeng suddenly stood up and looked shocked..

Zhao Donglai smiled wryly and said," Sir, the battle in the palace last night was extremely intense. Those who fought were definitely not ordinary grandmasters. However, the spies 'strength is limited. We cannot rule out the possibility that they were wrong.".

Gu Xifeng's face did not improve. He thought for a long time before he said,"It seems that I have to go to the palace.".

Zhao Donglai quickly waved his hand and said," Sir, you can't. The Taichu Palace has fallen into the hands of Qinghe people. It's dangerous to enter rashly!" Gu Xifeng said with a solemn expression," No matter how dangerous it is, we have to investigate it. Now that the army of the sect is on its way, we must find out the background of the enemy. Otherwise, we will suffer even greater losses.".

Zhao Donglai was shocked when he heard this." The sect sent troops directly?"" The Absolute Beginning and Galaxy Sect have long been tied together. If the Galaxy Sect doesn't make a move now, if the Absolute Beginning Dynasty is really destroyed, it will be difficult for the Galaxy Sect to survive..

Gu Xifeng said helplessly..

Zhao Donglai nodded his head in agreement. Then, he said sternly,"In that case, I will immediately summon the Dark Star branch agents to follow you into the palace!".

Gu Xifeng waved his hand and said," There's no need. There are dangers in the palace. It's not good to have too many people. I'll go alone and hide.".

" But…Sir!" Zhao Donglai was about to say something, but Gu Xifeng interrupted him." As the deputy commander of the Seven Kills Battalion, I order you to continue hiding and waiting for orders from all Dark Star members. I will contact you when the sect's army arrives. Then, we will proceed according to our plan..

Zhao Donglai had to agree when he heard this, and then he could not help but worry and say,"Please be more careful.".

Gu West Wind sneaked all the way to the Taichu Palace. The palace gates were closed at this time. A large number of Qing He soldiers were patrolling inside and outside the palace, guarding the palace like iron barrels..

With Gu Xifeng's skills, how could he be stopped by ordinary soldiers? When a group of night patrol soldiers passed by, he took the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the palace wall in a few flashes..

The guards in the palace were even tighter. There were guards everywhere. However, these Qinghe soldiers did not notice Gu Xifeng who had infiltrated. The concealment methods they learned from Huang Xin were put to great use at this time..

Gu Xifeng soon arrived at the place where Shen Xiliu and Jin Xinglan fought. There used to be many magnificent palaces here, but now, many palaces, including the emperor's bedroom, had been razed to the ground. Not even the broken walls were left, leaving only a huge pit full of ruins..

Even though a day had passed, there were still traces of Dao energy left in the pit. Gu Xifeng had been close to the power of Dao since he was a child, and now that he had cultivated it to a minor level, he could naturally feel the terrifying power of Dao that pervaded the pit..

"Such dense Dao power is indeed not something that grandmaster experts can use. It is really possible that a battle between saints has taken place here. I wonder if this saint is still in the palace..

A flash of light flashed through Gu Xifeng's eyes, he thought to himself..

Gu Xifeng explored the vicinity of the giant pit and continued to walk to other palaces..

This time, he was even more cautious, afraid that he would run into that guy suspected of being a saint..

In Yichun Palace, Taichu Emperor Li Boqian was stripped naked and tied to a pillar in the hall..

Li Boqian's face was full of anger as he looked at the scene before him with a furious expression..

His empress and concubines were all naked at this moment. A group of Qing He soldiers were having fun with these women who were once the most noble in the beginning. They called heaven and earth ineffectual at this time, and they could only wail incessantly..

Next to those naked men and women, there were more than a dozen corpses. The older ones were in their twenties, and the younger ones were only a few years old. These were all Li Boqian's sons. The Qinghe people had killed all the princes and princesses in front of him..

Li Boqian let out a beast-like roar." Zaoji! You lowly woman, I will definitely kill you! I will slaughter your Qinghe Kingdom, kill all the men, and sell all the women to the dirtiest brothel! Ah!" Zaoji, who was standing beside Li Boqian with a smug expression, laughed and said," Your Majesty is so imposing. Do you really think you are still that high and mighty emperor? Stop dreaming!" Li Boqian paused for a moment and didn't speak. Although he was under control, he saw the defeat of Jin Xinglan and the others. He knew that no one in the palace could save him at this time..

" Morning Ji, I beg you, please kill me!" Li Boqian's tone softened and he begged..

Zaoji covered her mouth and laughed,"It's not that easy to die. Wait until you see the Taichu Dynasty completely change its master before begging me. If I'm in a good mood, I can give you a good time.".

Li Boqian's face was full of grief, and he muttered to himself,"How should I face my ancestors?".

He was about to hit the stone pillar behind him with his head, and Zaoji immediately stretched out her fox tail and placed it behind him..

Li Boqian still wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he couldn't be ruthless. This fatuous emperor didn't even have the courage to die. He could only cry helplessly..

Gu Xifeng was watching this scene from the shadows. He could not sympathize with Emperor Taichu when he saw him in such a miserable state. In order to avoid alerting him, he did nothing and chose to leave..

He soon left the palace, and from beginning to end no one in Qinghe discovered that anyone had broken in..

Gu Xifeng scouted around the palace and found many grandmasters, but he did not find any traces of saints..

He blew the whistle calling for night from a tall building in Kaiyuan City, and night descended from the sky again. It was extremely fast, and it seemed to enter an uninhabited area amidst the shouts and arrows of the Qinghe people. It carried Gu Xifeng away from Kaiyuan City again..
