Chapter 1845 1846: Who Are These People
"But these people can't even beat me, they're simply too weak. Are there only these people?"
Mao Xuejing said, "Let me go ask later."
Ling Zhenfei and Gu Feng met, and after greeting, Mao Xuejing turned to Gu Feng and asked, "Why is it so lively today, who are all these people?"
Gu Feng replied, "These are all masters I've invited, precisely for that matter tomorrow."
Of course, Mao Xuejing knew who these people were; the question was asked deliberately to steer his words towards that topic.
Mao Xuejing looked around at the people with surprise, feigning ignorance, and said, "Oh, they're all high-level cultivators. I'm truly honored, but I wonder how their actual combat ability is, and if they can defeat those people."
One of them laughed after hearing this, "Naturally, there is no problem. There are hardly any little brats to cause trouble when they see us; they'll be so scared that they'll flee in panic."
Ling Zhenfei almost laughed after hearing this. He used Northern Spiritual Energy to whisper to Mao Xuejing: "This person's strength is only at Zhiyi Boundary, not yet at Dawen Realm."
Mao Xuejing, expressionless, said to the man, "I wonder what level of strength this gentleman has now."
The man said, "My strength is soon reaching Dawen Realm."
Mao Xuejing smiled and said, "So you're still not at Dawen Realm, just in Zhiyi state. I heard those people's strength is all at Dawen Realm.
Do you have confidence in dealing with those people, sir?"
Gu Feng's words suddenly shocked the young man, making him a bit embarrassed.
"If you let me deal with people in Dawen Realm, my confidence is naturally small, but people in Zhiyi state are not an issue."
Mao Xuejing said to those people, "Perhaps everyone is still unclear about our opponents. I think we should let His Majesty further explain."
Everyone looked at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng knew Mao Xuejing was quite thoughtful about doing things, so if he wanted to know, he would repeat it.
So Gu Feng recounted the events once more.
It turned out that just three days ago, also in the morning, Gu Feng was discussing matters with several people when suddenly sounds came from the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.
So this group ran towards the Treasure Pavilion, and upon arriving, Gu Feng saw the guardians surrounding two people at the entrance.
Though surrounded, the two were very calm, even showing a hint of disdainful mockery in their eyes.
Gu Feng immediately stepped up to ask the two who they were and what they intended by intruding into the Imperial Palace.
The two said they heard there was a treasure in the Imperial Palace within the Treasure Pavilion and told Gu Feng to hand it over.
Gu Feng certainly knew what those people referred to, telling them was simply wishful thinking.
But the two were very arrogant, even threatening Gu Feng, saying they would kill them all if the item wasn't handed over.
As the Emperor, Gu Feng could not be threatened like this, so he ordered the guardians to seize the two.
They only realized upon engaging that the guardians were no match for these people.
Although there were many guards, none could last a move against them.
In no time, all the guardians lay on the ground.
Gu Feng was naturally shocked; the two asked Gu Feng if he would hand over the item.
At that time, there were several strong cultivators by Gu Feng's side, so he had some confidence.
Hence, Gu Feng did not agree, and the two sides clashed again.
The earlier guardians were ordinary people, but this time they were cultivators.
It was thought these people would suffice, but when Gu Feng's guardians charged, they were still not the opponents, and before long, the trained guardians were defeated.
Then came the pistol squad, placed last because they were behind the Treasure Pavilion.
If firearms were used, they might accidentally damage the Treasure Pavilion.
Thus, the pistol squad was a last resort.
But when the two saw the pistol squad, they laughed again, clearly not taking them seriously.
The two said, "Do you think these guns can hit us?"
Gu Feng hesitated, knowing they're cultivators; when cultivation reaches a certain level, firearms are often ineffective against them, so Gu Feng was indecisive.
The two said, "The pistol squad is useless against us. We know barging in like this isn't ideal, so we'll give you three days to consider.
Keep your pistol squad; if you disagree, then see if these guns can hit us. If they can't, then death awaits you."
Then the two left.
After they left, the whole Imperial Palace turned upside down; how could such an incident be endured?
But those who fought earlier said that the two were very strong, and those in Zhiyi state stood no chance.
From their analysis, the strength of the two ranged from the initial to late stage of Dawen Realm.
Gu Feng's atmosphere, previously relaxed, now became anything but relaxed.
The air seemed heavy because Gu Feng mentioned their analysis, stating the two were at the middle to late stage of Dawen Realm.
Among them, the strongest was only at the Middle Stage of Dawen Realm.
Though the strength seemed comparable, who knew what might happen if a fight broke out?
But there were two of them, so the strength disparity became uncertain.
These people were truly in a precarious situation.
At this moment, one person asked, "Your Majesty, what do they want? With your vast resources, wouldn't it be easier just to give it to them?"
Ling Zhenfei almost burst out laughing; these people had jested playfully before, but now they were clearly afraid.
Gu Feng said, "If it were gold or silver, it wouldn't matter, but what they want is a book left by our ancestors.
Every Emperor respects that book greatly upon ascending the throne, even considering it a family treasure, so it certainly cannot be lost unless I'm dead."
Ling Zhenfei, too, was curious about this item; imagine, it was important enough to bring these two powerful individuals to request it, so it must be crucial.
But Gu Feng always said it was a book, and as for its content, Ling Zhenfei did not know.
At this time, the person with the highest strength spoke.
"Listen to me, everyone. My strength is roughly at the Middle Stage of Dawen Realm, but this stage is freshly advanced and unstable, requiring some time.
Here's the plan: find another to assist me; they are two, I'll handle one with support.
The other one will be left to you, shouldn't be a problem."
