On the other side, Qixiang City.
In the night sky, a dozen figures were in a protective formation, flanking a woman in fancy dress, rapidly sweeping through the air and flying towards QI Huang City.
At a glance, one could see that the woman in fancy dress was injured and could not even fly at the moment, but could only barely maintain her flight with the help of two guards.
By the light of the moon, one could clearly see that although these guards were all wearing golden armour, their faces were extremely clean-cut and their figures were not as large as normal men.
In fact, it was easy to see that all these guards were actually women dressed as men!
Amongst these female guards, the leader was a woman clad in a red cloak.
The leader of the guards was tall and distinguished looking, but her face was extremely serious, with a stern air.
“Your Majesty, hold on, there is Qixiang City ahead, there must be someone there who can treat your injuries!”
The head escort said to the woman in fancy dress with a determined face.
That’s right, this woman in fancy dress, a woman, was also an emperor!
In fact, if there were people from within the True Martial Realm present, they would have been able to guess the identity of this woman in fancy dress at first glance.
Because in the entire True Martial World, there was only one female emperor, and that was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, one of the four empires of the True Martial World, Sheng Yumei!
In fact, it turned out to be true.
The woman in fancy dress before her was the Great Qian Empress, Sheng Yumei!
As the ruler of one of the Four Great Empires of the True Martial World, Sheng Yumei was extremely powerful.
However, this very night, an unexpected palace mutiny broke out within the Great Qian Dynasty, putting Sheng Yumei’s throne in jeopardy.
In fact, had it not been for the thousands of female guards under her who were loyal to her and sworn to guard her to the death, she would not even have a chance of escaping from the Great Qian Palace at this moment!
“Hate Bamboo, it’s better not to risk it, the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s men are following closely behind, as long as we stop for a moment, we will definitely be caught up by them!”
Sheng Yumei was holding back the pain from her injuries and said in a soft voice.
By the moonlight, one could see Sheng Yumei’s skin like gelatin, her eyebrows slightly knitted, and her pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water under her beautiful eyebrows.
However, further down, nothing could be seen.
It was because on Sheng Yumei’s face, there was a purple veil covering her face, making it impossible to see the truth.
In fact, this is what the world sees as the most mysterious aspect of the Great Qian Empress.
Some people say that the Great Qian Empress was unwilling to let people see her face because she was too ugly and had an inferiority complex.
For once she was seen to be too ugly, her majesty as emperor would be affected.
It was also said that the Great Qian Empress, in fact, had deliberately covered up her beautiful face because it was too beautiful.
It was because this Great Qian Empress did not want others to care about her looks, but was bent on using her strength to govern the entire Great Qian Dynasty!
No matter what the real reason for covering her face with a veil was, it seemed that no one had ever really seen the empress’s face over the years.
The appearance of this Great Qian Empress had always been a mystery to the entire True Martial World!
At this moment, upon hearing Sheng Yumei’s words, the head female escort, Yao Hate Chu, was extremely insistent.
“No, Your Majesty, you have been poisoned by Gu Xinlong’s Heart Punishing Poison, if you don’t get help in time, you fear for your life! You must be treated early!”
Yao Hate Chu said very seriously.
Hearing these words, Sheng Yumei however sighed.
“Even if we could find a doctor, I’m afraid there’s no way to cure it! Instead of asking everyone to accompany me to take such a meaningless risk, it would be better for everyone to leave here before it’s too late, and still give everyone a ray of hope!”
Sheng Yumei said with a bitter expression on her face.
“When we first joined the Women’s Guards, we swore our loyalty to Your Majesty, and in order to protect Your Majesty, more than 3,000 of us died under the sword of the Marquis of Zhen Nan! Now, we are the only ones left in the entire Women’s Guards, so how could we possibly leave His Majesty behind and live alone?”
Yao Huanzhu said righteously.
“That’s right, we are sworn to serve His Majesty to the death!”
One of the female guards said very firmly.
“Swear to serve His Majesty to the death!”
The other dozen female guards, too, raised their arms and shouted.
Seeing this scene in front of her, Sheng Yumei could not help but sigh.
She was naturally very clear about these female guards of the Towel Guard.
These were her guards who had been with her for many years, and although she said they were guards, she had always treated them like sisters, with great affection.
At a time like this, these people would never leave her behind, no matter what.
“I appreciate your thoughts, it is an honour for me to have such loyal guards like you. I just don’t want you to sacrifice yourselves for nothing. ……”
Sheng Yumei said helplessly.
At this moment, I heard Yao Hate Chu say with certainty, “Your Majesty, just rest assured, this Qihuang City is the holy land of healing in the entire southern state, with countless divine doctors, especially I heard that there is a Dan God in this Qihuang City, who is even more divine in pills that are unparalleled in the world, and has the power to heal the white bones of the dead! I believe that as long as I can get this Dan God to do something, the heart-killing poison in your body will be lifted!”
“There is such a powerful person in this city?!”
When Sheng Yumei heard Yao Hate Chu’s words, he too could not help but brighten up, and hope was rekindled in his heart.
In fact, Sheng Yumei herself actually did not want to die just like that.
It wasn’t for her own sake, as the empress, she had long since grown up doing everything not for her own sake.
Now, the Marquis of Zhen Nan had usurped power, thousands of women guards had been killed, and the entire Great Qian Dynasty might be plunged into war and chaos.
Such a great revenge, Sheng Yumei naturally had to take revenge!
So she knew very well that right now, she could not die!
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, I’ve heard all these things from Imperial Doctor Chen, there’s absolutely no lie! Alright, let’s hurry up and catch up!”
After saying that, Yao Hate Chu and the girls took Sheng Yumei with them and flew quickly in the direction of Qihuang City.
Not long after Sheng Yumei left, a group of black figures had arrived at the place where they were just now.
There were many of them, at least a thousand of them.
They were all dressed in black armour and wore black masks.
Even though they could not see their faces, they could feel the strong aura of killing and destruction on their bodies.
These men were the Zhen Nan Army under the command of the Marquis of Zhen Nan!
Tonight, these men had chased Sheng Yumei and the others all the way from the capital city of the Great Qian Dynasty to this place, with the simple aim of killing Sheng Yumei to the death and eliminating the roots of the grass!
At this moment, as the leader of the army stretched out his hand, the thousands of Zhen Nan troops instantly stopped in the air.
The leader was dark-skinned, tall and thin, and his face was full of coldness, giving people a powerful oppressive force.
This man was none other than Gu Xinlong, who was known as one of the Four Vajra’s under the command of the Marquis of Zhen Nan!
At this moment, as everyone stopped behind him, Gu Xinlong closed his eyes and flicked his palm at the air in front of his nose.
All the scents in the air were captured directly by his powerful five senses.
A moment later, Gu Xinlong reopened his eyes and looked to the east.
There, it happened to be the direction where QI Huang City was located!
“Qihuang City? Hmph, it simply throws itself into the net!”
Gu Xinlong said with a cold snort.
Gu Xinlong was able to become one of the Four Great Vajra under the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s command and assist him in achieving greatness, so naturally he was not a generalist.
He knew the geography and humanities of this southern state like the back of his hand.
He had just smelled Sheng Yumei’s scent in the air, and had judged the direction they had fled to.
Ahead of them was QI Huang City.
The Empress Sheng Yumei had suffered from her own heart-deadening poison, and this QI Huang City was the holy land of healing in the entire southern state, so it took little thought for Gu Xinlong to determine where Sheng Yumei and the girls were at the moment!
“Forward, to QI Huang City!”
Gu Xinlong gave an order, and the Zhen Nan Army behind him, like a huge black cloud, surged towards QI Huang City.
At the same time, Sheng Yumei and the girls had already arrived in the sky above QI Huang City.
“Commander, this QI Huang City is so big, how can we find where the Dan God is?”
A female escort asked.
Looking at the huge QI Huang City below, Yao Hate Zhu was also a bit confused.
This was the first time they had come to QI Huang City, so naturally, they had no clue about everything in QI Huang City.
If it were usual, they might have been able to find someone to ask, but now it was nighttime and there was hardly a figure to be seen on the streets, so it was impossible to find someone to ask for directions.
Moreover, asking for directions in such an abrupt manner might reveal their whereabouts.
After thinking for a while, Yao Huanzhu said directly, “Since that Dan God is the number one saint in this Qixiang City, then naturally the residence will not be bad at all! We’ll just look for it from the shop with the largest area, we’re bound to get it right!”
“That makes sense!”
Those other female guards, too, nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the female guard from before pointed to a location below and said, “I have just looked around, the shop below is almost the largest, and the lights are still on there, so I think that must be where the Dan God is!”
In fact, their thoughts were very simple, even if they didn’t find the right one this time, they could at least find someone to ask about the location of that Dan God, so it was all right anyhow.
Yao Hate Chu nodded, “Alright then, let’s go there!”
After saying that, Yao Hate Chu and the girls took the badly injured Sheng Yu Mei with them and flew towards the bottom!
