Li Mijia took a deep breath, a hint of deep apprehension surfacing in his eyes. Inside the Imperial Family Secret Territory, nobody was unaware of who the man before them was; he was Yang Yongqi, the Commander of the Imperial Guard for Emperor Chaoyang, known as the First below Nascent Soul.

Of course, as a confidant of the Huoyang Emperor, Li Mijia knew that Yang Yongqi hadn’t actually reached the level of the First below Nascent Soul. However, it was undeniable that, except for a few Princes, this man’s cultivation realm and strength were the strongest in Eastern Capital City. He was so powerful that even if Li Mijia and the several Gold Core Realm experts he brought joined forces, they might not be a match for this individual.

What made him even more apprehensive was Emperor Chaoyang. Among the six Princes of Eastern Capital City, Emperor Chaoyang was the most powerful, and he also had the highest seniority and standing. To some extent, Emperor Chaoyang was the de facto leader among the six Princes of Eastern Capital City. Regardless of whether the other five Princes were willing or not, or whether they agreed wholeheartedly, they all had to give Emperor Chaoyang some respect. In many matters, they even had to follow Emperor Chaoyang’s arrangements and commands.

Li Mijia stared fixedly at Yang Yongqi and said in a deep voice, “Commander Yang, are you sure you want to interfere in today’s matter? Bringing Qi Tian to Huoyang Palace was personally ordered by our Prince.”

Li Mijia’s gaze was still quite threatening. If it were someone else being stared down like this, they might have already had weak knees, but Yang Yongqi simply didn’t care. As the First below Nascent Soul, what was Li Mijia’s stare to him?

Yang Yongqi gave a faint smile and said, “Chief Li, I have no intention of meddling in Huoyang Palace’s affairs. However, this is not Huoyang Palace, this is on the streets of Eastern Capital City. I am following the commands of my Prince, to uphold the dignity of the imperial family. My Prince does not wish for outsiders to make a mockery of the imperial family. Is that clear? Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Li Mijia nodded. As Chief Guard of Huoyang Palace, he had neither the status to compete with Yang Yongqi nor the courage to challenge Emperor Chaoyang’s authority. What he could do at this moment was to utter some harsh words.

“Fine, very well. Commander Yang, I hope you will remember the words you said today, remember what you are doing now. I will report everything I encountered today, without omission, to our Prince. When the Prince’s reproach comes down, I hope you can bear the wrath of our Prince.”

Yang Yongqi merely smiled slightly. As the Commander of the Imperial Guard for Chaoyang Palace, he had frequently acted on behalf of Chaoyang Palace, and he had often offended various Princes. Already accustomed to controversy, like having too many lice to be bothered by itching, he made a respectful gesture towards Chaoyang Palace and said, “Please also convey a message for me to Chief Li. Tell the Huoyang Emperor that I apologize for the offense. In the future, I will certainly go to Huoyang Palace and ask for forgiveness from the Huoyang Emperor.”

Li Mijia snorted coldly, knowing that nothing he said at this point would be useful unless he had the guts to risk offending Chaoyang Palace. Otherwise, it was best to leave while he was ahead. He flicked his sleeve and turned around to grab Su Jinghan, seizing his battle soldier in hand, then left bitterly without looking back.

Watching Li Mijia leave without a backward glance, the several Gold Core Realm experts he brought along also seemed inclined to follow. However, the Wolf Teeth Knives Qi Tian used to attack them were unrelenting, still closely following behind them, seeming determined to pierce holes in them before giving up.

“Chief Li, please save us!” one of the Gold Core Realm experts, who was closely pressured by two Wolf Teeth Knives, shouted towards Li Mijia.

Li Mijia knew how formidable the Wolf Teeth Knives were and dared not to directly confront them. But as the Chief Guard of Huoyang Palace, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. He reached into his robes and pulled out a magical artifact resembling a rope. With a flick of his wrists, the rope flew out like a quick serpent from between his hands.

This rope was another one of Li Mijia’s half-step Nascent Soul level magical artifacts. It chased down one of the Wolf Teeth Knives as swift and tough as a snake, quickly catching up. The rope wound around the knife, restraining it like a snake constricting a mouse, significantly slowing it down and removing the threat to the Gold Core Realm expert.

Then, Li Mijia used the same method to control the rope and subdued the other Wolf Teeth Knives one by one. He had no desire to keep these Wolf Teeth Knives he captured with his rope, tossing them all indifferently onto the street.

The reason for his actions was that Li Mijia was quite familiar with the characteristics of the Wolf Teeth Knives. Although they seemed mighty, they had a fatal flaw: they were one-time-use weapons, incapable of being recycled. At least as far as Li Mijia was concerned, he had never heard of anyone within the Imperial Family Secret Territory managing to reuse Wolf Teeth Knives.

After discarding all the Wolf Teeth Knives, Li Mijia left with his Gold Core Realm subordinates, not lingering any longer.

Qi Tian glanced at the discarded Wolf Teeth Knives, truly wanting to rush over and collect them. Those from the Imperial Family Secret Territory might not be able to recycle Wolf Teeth Knives, but he could. The Wolf Teeth Knives had been instrumental in his escape today, giving him a deeper understanding of their power and utility in emergencies. If he could keep more Wolf Teeth Knives at hand, he would feel more confident.
