My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 411: Visitors

After Qin Feng and Grand Secretary Li left the imperial study, it didnt take long for four more people to arrive.

All of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and exuded an extraordinary aura. Every move they made showed a sense of dignity.

These four were the four princes who guarded the four domains of Great Qian.

Upon seeing the four princes, the emperor smiled and said, Last night, the disturbance caused by some insignificant people interrupted our peaceful night. There are still many things I would like to discuss with you.

The four princes saluted respectfully, and then reported truthfully on the situation in their respective domains for the current year.

In the Eastern Domain, the Asura Clan was incredibly powerful, intimidating various demons and ghosts. Since Deng Mo had won a bet against Asura, the Eastern Domain was the most stable of the four.

In the Western Domain, the White Tiger Demon Kings family dominated, occupying many dragon vein locations. However, they did not invade human territory excessively, only occasionally seeking out the Western Domains Commander for friendly competition.

The Northern Domain faced constant invasions from the Rakshasa clan, but this had become a routine conflict and the Northern Domain was used to dealing with it, so it was not a major problem.

The greatest concern lay in the Southern Domain.

In charge of guarding the Southern Domain was Prince Luo, a middle-aged man who was solemn and serious.

He said, The yin-yang imbalance in the Southern Domain has caused frequent demon outbreaks.

The Demon Slaying Department and the soldiers are exhausted from dealing with it. Despite the Huarong Dao connecting the major dragon veins to suppress the rampant yin qi, the situation has not improved. The most critical problem is that King Garuda has awakened.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and the other three princes expressions darkened.

The Garuda clan, known for feeding on dragons, might not be as powerful as the Asura clan, but the difference wasnt significant. What mattered was that the Garuda Clan was extremely tyrannical, and far less disciplined than the Asura Clan.

During the Battle of Zhenling Pass years ago, without the support of the Dragon Clan, even with a hundred thousand soldiers and the high-ranking forces of the Demon Slaying Department, they might not have been able to repel the Garuda Clan.

Now that King Garuda had awakened, they were sure to make a comeback.

The Northern Prince spoke, But I remember that during the Battle of Zhenling Pass, the National Teacher used a plan to seal the heart of Garuda King.

Prince Luo shook his head, Jinyang City was attacked by demons, and Garuda Kings heart was destroyed by the divine fire of the Divine Workshop. It is likely that he has already refined a second heart after so many years.

Powerful demons could give birth to multiple abilities, and this was not an uncommon occurrence. It was also the reason why powerful demons were difficult to eliminate.

The emperor said in a deep voice, I understand. The defence of Zhenling Pass will be entrusted to you. If you need any assistance, just let me know.

Prince Luo cupped his fists and said, I understand.

At this moment, the Eastern Prince asked again, What was the cause of the demon disaster last night?

Just a few insignificant individuals; nothing to worry about. However, the dignity of the imperial capital cannot be questioned. The martial arts competition that was cancelled last night will be held tomorrow night. the Emperor said firmly.

The four princes understood the reason for holding a martial arts competition despite the recent events.

It was to scare off demons and those with ill intentions, and to showcase the military might of the Great Qian to maintain the trust of the people.

If it werent for these reasons, the Emperor would not have announced the names of the twelve Divine Generals of the Demon Slaying Department throughout the Great Qian.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Qin Feng returned to the Qin Residence. Just as he was about to find out what was inside the box, he noticed three people standing outside the residence.

They were Zhen Tianyi, Yu Mei, and Mu Youqian of the Tomb family.

Zhen Tianyi greeted him with a smile, Young man, long time no see.

Qin Feng was stunned for a  moment, and replied happily, Senior Zhen, Senior Yu.

After a pause, he turned to look at Mu Youqian, who was carrying a coffin on his back.

Just as Mu Yuqian was about to greet him, Qin Feng said with displeasure, What are you doing here?

Mu Youqians raised right hand froze slightly.

It wasnt surprising that Qin Feng treated him differently. Anyone who saw a person carrying a coffin visiting during the New Year would not have a good expression.

Dont stand at my door with a coffin on your back. Hurry up and come inside. Qin Feng spat.

Then he turned to the other two with a friendly smile, Senior Zhen, Senior Yu, please come in quickly.

The group entered a guest room and Qin Feng had Qinger pour tea.

Zhen Tianyi picked up his teacup and shook it, This tea is too bland, is there any wine?

Yes, yes. Qin Feng immediately took out a jar of Immortal Drunkenness from his spatial ring.

Seeing this, Mu Youqian said, Give me some as well.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Feng turned his head and glared: Huh?

Mu Youqian replied somewhat dejectedly, Drinking tea is also nice. It keeps you warm in winter.

Senior Zhen, why are you with him? Qin Feng asked.

Zhen Tianyi took a sip of wine and explained the situation.

Upon hearing it, Qin Feng understood the whole story.

It turned out that Senior Zhen and Senior Yu had seen him and his second brother last night.

They had intended to greet them in person, but the unexpected incident in Imperial City occured.

The two seniors, one a Divine General and the other from the Thirty-Six Stars, couldnt just stand by and watch. They set out to eliminate the demons and ghosts in the city.

While reporting to the Demon Slaying Department in the capital this morning, the two seniors inquired about the location of the Qin residence, which happened to be overheard by Mu Youqian.

The latter shamelessly tagged along.

So why are you in the Imperial City? Qin Feng asked, tilting his head.

Mu Youqian wore a bitter expression, Did you think I wanted to come?

Then he told everything about his experiences during the trip.

Fei Yi, Prison Division, Ninefold Prison, Prison Robbery Qin Feng became more and more frightened as he listened.

He hadnt expected the demon and ghost disaster in Imperial City to be so much more complicated than what was seen on the surface.

Those demons escaped from the Ninefold Prison, no wonder theres such a large number of them all at once, and theyre quite formidable.

Luckily, with the Grand Ceremony happening, the highest powers from all realms had gathered in the Imperial City, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

While shocked, Qin Feng also looked at Mu Youqian with some disdain, Why is it that whenever you go somewhere, trouble always follows?

In the past, it was the rampant Fire Poison in Jinyang City, and now in Imperial City, there were prison raids and the curse of the Drought Demon affecting the common people.

It seemed that a person who carried a coffin every day was indeed plagued by bad luck.

Oh no, will I also be affected by his bad luck? Qin Fengs face turned unpleasant.

Mu Youqian opened his mouth to explain, but after careful consideration, he found that the other party was right. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

Although Qin Feng seemed to be mocking him, he still cared about his friend: What do you plan to do next? Are you going straight back to your family?

Mu Youqian shook his head, During this time, the Mu family always closes up, and I dont think I can go back.

Well, you can stay here for now. Ill have someone prepare a guest room for you, Qin Feng said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Youqian looked grateful.

After a pause, Qin Feng asked again, By the way, Senior Zhen, have all the prisoners who escaped from the Ninefold Prison been executed?

Zhen Tianyi put down his wine glass and shook his head, There are still some who havent been tracked down. The seal of the Imperial Citys domain formation has been strengthened, and those guys are probably still hiding in the city.

They are not demonic creatures, but human beings who have practised evil and unorthodox techniques. If they are determined to hide, it wont be easy to find them.

When Qin Feng heard this, he felt a chill in his heart and hoped that the Demon Slaying Department could quickly uncover these individuals to prevent them from harming the people of Imperial City.
