Chapter 1194 Confrontation
Jiang Wang's question was loud and clear.
The guards outside the city gate were shocked and almost knelt down.
As an imperial envoy, he was full of divine power.
Jiang Wang stood here alone, but behind him was the entire Great Qi Empire!
Of course, the Great Qi Empire also included this small Jicheng.
Who would not be shocked by the emperor's wrath?
Only Tian Anping, who was standing in the city gate, tilted his head and seemed a little puzzled.
Then he said, "You have an order, come in and announce it."
At this moment, he and Jiang Wang were facing each other across a city gate.
One was in the city, and the other was outside the city.
He invited Jiang Wang to enter the city!
Jiang Wang looked into his eyes, and after a little confusion, he only saw the indifference and madness intertwined in the depths!
The wind in Jicheng was also suppressed, lingering low near the city gate.
There was no pedestrian on the straight street behind Tian Anping.
The merchants on both sides seemed to have closed their doors today.
Jiang Wang had no expression on his face, and only said: "I have already announced the decree, and it is up to you whether to accept it or not. Now, I will arrest Liu Xiao and bring him back to the capital. If you want to disobey the decree, come out and test your sword!"
He directly pulled out Chang Xiangsi, which was like a pool of autumn water, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The rope that hung Liu Xiao above the city gate broke silently, and Liu Xiao fell down and was caught by his left hand.
He held Liu Xiao in one hand and the sword in the other, looking at Tian Anping coldly.
He did not turn around and leave directly, after all, few people dared to leave their backs to Tian Anping.
Now, this square city fell silent.
Tian Anping was in the city gate, watching him quietly.
The city guards outside the city gate watched all this silently, holding their breath and not daring to make any noise.
Jiang Wang would not enter this city, and it seemed that Tian Anping did not intend to come out.
So Jiang Wang held Liu Xiao and began to walk backwards. He walked neither fast nor slow, and the speed of each step was the same. He was confident and cautious.
During the whole retreat, he and Tian Anping kept their eyes on each other.
He retreated 19 steps, which was the 19 steps maintained by the voice-hearing fairy state.
Then he turned around gracefully, holding the person in one hand and the sword in the other, with a fluttering green shirt, and stepped on the blue clouds to the sky.
Guard Tian Sifu looked at the back of the emperor's envoy as if he was looking at a god.
This was the first time he saw someone dare to confront Master Tian Anping like this.
Even the elders in the family, even... even the clan leader, could not hide their fear of Master Anping. Not to mention the other people in the Tian family.
Today, Liu Xiao came with such a fierce momentum, and even the cultivation of a god, but in the end he was also hung on the city gate.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of person could be so arrogant in front of Master Anping!
Qingyangzi...?
Tian Sifu couldn't help but look back. The figure of Master Anping had disappeared behind the city gate.
He noticed with his peripheral vision that the brothers who were on duty together also breathed a sigh of relief.
This day... is too long!
Tian Sifu felt the same as an ordinary city gate guard.
And Jiang Wang, who was carrying Liu Xiao away, was actually relieved.
Before seeing Tian Anping, he had many guesses about Liu Xiao's situation, wondering if there was any hidden strong man in the Tian family who took action.
But after seeing Tian Anping, the sudden sense of crisis clearly told him that it was Tian Anping who created Liu Xiao's current situation!
When he first met Tian Anping in Qixing Valley, he felt deeply terrified.
That fear was not just because he had disrupted the Tian family's actions in Yinxing, or because of Tian Anping's crazy past. But Tian Anping had an extremely dangerous temperament, which seemed to be equivalent to danger itself.
The sense of oppression he felt from Tian Anping was something he had never felt from any inner court cultivator.
After all, the other party was knocked down from the realm of the gods, so of course there were some special things that inner court cultivators did not have. It cannot be measured by the level of inner court cultivators.
Lei Zhanqian, who was so arrogant and conceited, was defeated by him several times, but he was still able to fight again with full confidence. When he faced Tian Anping with the cultivation of the inner court in the Seven Star Valley, he did not say a word.
This is enough to show the horror!
And now, Liu Xiao, who wanted to kill Tian Anping and was in the realm of the gods, has become like this. Even if Jiang Wang is confident, he does not think he can really get away with Tian Anping.
Tian Anping's invitation is very oppressive.
Everything that happened outside the gate of Jicheng today will definitely be known to the people of the whole Qi State.
If he retreats today and damages the reputation of the emperor, the consequences can be imagined.
But if he really wanted to enter the city, it would be like using his own life to bet on whether Tian Anping would go crazy.
Betting on whether a madman would go crazy was dangerous.
And he chose to take Liu Xiao away directly, betting that Tian Anping would not leave the city!
The Tian Anping he saw in Qixing Valley last time was different from the Tian Anping today. At that time, he was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, like a prisoner, but today he was empty-handed.
And from beginning to end, Tian Anping stood inside the city gate, and when he "turned against each other", he also issued an "invitation" to him to enter the city.
He guessed that Tian Anping, who was in an unknown state, might only be able to leave the city wearing those evil shackles.
He seemed to have made the right bet.
Don’t look at him walking away with Liu Xiao, looking cool and calm, fearless. If Tian Anping really chased him out of the city gate, he would definitely abandon Liu Xiao and run away at the first time.
Do what you can do. Qi is a big country with great undertakings. There are many strong people who can suppress this person. He doesn’t need to take this risk.
It is indeed not dangerous to lock up Liu Xiao, provided that the "opponent" is Liu Xiao. When the person to be faced is replaced by Tian Anping, it is impossible to predict whether it is dangerous or not.
This is why people like Tian Anping are so feared.
It can be said that he walked on a line accurately during this trip to the city. The gains and losses are all in his mind.
At this time, they have walked a long way. Jiang Wang suddenly felt something in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he looked back.
It seems to be some kind of declaration.
Under the gaze of Qianyang’s pupil, the square city, with thousands of densely packed room phantoms, rose in the air!
Every room is the same.
Just like... the inner palace!
Jiang Wang immediately remembered that when he first came to Jicheng, he stayed in the city for one night. At that time, he felt that the rooms in the layout of Jicheng were very similar to the rooms opened up in the inner palace.
At that time, he also wondered whether the Tian family was operating Jicheng by imitating the layout of the inner palace.
Because they were all too similar.
He opened up three thousand rooms in the depths of each inner palace, and there was no difference!
The fear of this city was also one of the reasons why he was unwilling to enter the city before.
And now...
That fear seemed to have an answer.
Tian Anping did not know how to refine the inner palace rooms into Jicheng.
The whole city is his inner palace!
How can people living in this city not be afraid? It is equivalent to life and death in the hands of others, and all their secrets are exposed at a glance.
Why Liu Xiao, who was in the state of God, became like this now, seems to be able to explain a little.
Just like he was confident in fighting any opponent in his Tongtian Palace.
How can an outsider fight against Tian Anping in his inner palace?
Besides, this inner palace is so different, and Tian Anping is so different!
Thanks to book friend Gsshen for becoming the leader of this book!
