The coffin isn't ready in the shop, and my master still needs to urge them!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A clerk with a hooked eyebrow scolded harshly.

In the past, he had always tried to put off or delay anything Zhao Xuan assigned him. If he couldn't avoid it, he would just procrastinate. He had figured out that this superior was easy to manipulate.

But now the situation is different.

Mr. Zhang repeatedly apologized: "It's really because I have to do meticulous work, which takes time. I'll be there right away, right away!"

Since the demise of the Yang dynasty, there are fewer and fewer blind people in the government offices.

Zhao Xuan, after all, held a high official position. Now that the issue of trust has been resolved, his promotion is only a matter of time. Anyone with discernment can see this clearly.

After scolding the coffin shop owner, the official with a sly smile tried to please him again: “Sir, why don’t you go back and rest first I'll take care of things here. Don’t worry, Sir, I understand your request and will make sure everything goes smoothly!”

Zhao Xuan was used to doing things himself, but this time, because he felt uneasy, he unconsciously wanted to agree.

"Here he comes! Here he comes!" Old Zhang, the coffin shop owner, shouted.

Zhao Xuan stopped and looked around.

From the direction of the street, two young men carried a ceremonial object, their steps steady as they approached. The object was wrapped in thick cloth, concealing its contents from view; only its general shape could be discerned.

Coming to Xiaolianqiao countless times, Zhao Xuan was very familiar with everything here.

Who is skilled, whose goods are poor, who is more honest, and how long has each store been in business...

Zhao Xuan casually glanced around, sweeping his gaze over the coffin shop before him. He saw the middle-aged man in the paper figurine shop next door, who was lowering his head to fold paper figurines, looking up at him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He seems to be the nephew of the original owner or something like that Zhao Xuan had some impression.

She smiled at him, being friendly yet reserved.

The man laughed too.

“He smiled in a very awkward way.” Zhao Xuan thought.

Then the sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the sky that darkened, but rather the "sky" within the Xiaolianqiao area.

Zhao Xuan, outside the building, quickly judged the strength of the situation.

The following officials fell one after another, during the process of falling.

He also heard the wind.

The wind seemed to come out from some crack, sobbing and sighing.

He felt cold.

It's very cold.

The whole person was almost starting to tremble.

Five inner palaces rumbled and turned, torrents of Dao Yuan surged, he simultaneously responded to his three sacred towers in the distance, about to break free from all this in an instant.

Then he saw that the middle-aged man who had smiled at him stood up.

The man stood up, and in a single step, he was right before them. On his honest and simple face, there seemed to be a mask covering it at some point. A black as ink mask with white gate drawn on the forehead, and inside the gate were blood-red characters.

Those three characters were cold and cruel, written as: Song Emperor!

The Emperor of Song, who has no gate to hell!

Zhao Xuan stood up and was about to leave, but at this moment, he realized his body had stiffened.

>

Who interfered with perception

From all sides, a chilling aura of killing intent pressed in.

Final move unleashed!

At the same time, there were countless killing techniques unleashed, impossible to count.

Five people!

As soon as Zhao Xuan turned that thought, his consciousness sank endlessly into the darkness.

...I'm going to die.

Are you going to die

I don't know why.

He let out a long sigh.

In the fifth year of Emperor Feng's reign, in September, Guo Yanheng, the deputy governor of Hengyang in Guyu, a cultivator from the outer Loujing district, and now Zhao Xuan, a Minister of Rites in Qi, was assassinated on Xiaolian Bridge.

He left the world with only a long, drawn-out sigh.

The carriage was still on its way back home, and the commotion of the crowd had already been sensed by the three.

Jiang Wang opened the left curtain and saw figures flying across the sky.

Linzi was the capital of Qi, and generally, only official forces were allowed to fly.

And among those who flew past, there were samurai in armor, and constables dressed in standardized black...

Something happened!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This was Jiang Wang's first thought.

Linzi rarely saw such commotion, at least since he arrived in Linzi, this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He immediately thought of hell with no gate.

Zhong Xuan Sheng looked out the other side of the carriage window, muttering to himself, "Both the Imperial Guard and the Beiyamen are out!"

Suddenly, he caught something.

“The Northern Imperial Guard General Zheng Shichen personally led the charge!”

He grew agitated, pulled his head back, and with a sudden sweep of the curtain, ordered: "Find out what happened immediately!"

The coachman, without a word, loosened the reins and plunged into the crowd.

Zhong Xuan personally took the reins and gave them a hard yank, urging the carriage: "Back to the mansion!"

Actually, he was so anxious that he didn't even want a carriage anymore.

But the more critical the time, the more cautious we must be.

It's best to maintain a normal, surprised yet cautious state.

The target of the underworld's gate was originally Zhao Xuan, a minister of Rites!

According to the severity of the situation, the officials in Linzi City have different response times.

In the case of a clear target, Beiya could instantly deliver the corresponding extraordinary power to any location within Linzi City except the palace.

As a fourth-rank official, Zhao Xuan's level and capability would warrant a response of considerable significance from Linzi if he were attacked. The intensity of the battle involved would be substantial enough to attract high-level attention.

The battle at Xiao Lianqiao erupted and was immediately sensed.

After receiving the alarm, Beiyagou's commander Zheng Shi personally led his troops and arrived at Xiaolian Bridge in less than twenty breaths.

>

But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Xuan, a powerful warrior from the outer courtyard, couldn't even hold on for three breaths!

Beside his corpse, there was only a mark of hell's gate - a pale white door.

Zheng Shi quickly made a judgment. At least five "Yan Luo" from the Hell's Gate appeared on the scene, meaning that there were at least five external building realm assassins in Linzi.

He immediately ordered the closure of the five nearest city gates.

As the Northern Guard Commandant, he had the authority to close at most five gates simultaneously out of the 108 city gates in Linzi.

Zheng Shi was very clear that the only way to minimize the potential damage from five or more extraterrestrial realm experts was to immediately close the grand formation, seal off the entire city, and mobilize high-level forces for suppression.

However, closing the city gates and sealing off the entire city requires approval from at least one State Minister. The North Barracks Commander does not have such authority.

He quickly sent a plea to the Hall of Government, and the on-duty Chancellor approved at the fastest speed possible, but the precious twenty breaths of time had already passed.

The murderer who had no gate to hell escaped.

This assassination attempt saw more than five "Yama Kings" from the Hell's Gate dispatched to surround and kill Zhao Xuan within three breaths. They then escaped from Linzi in less than ten breaths.

The meticulous planning, the precise timing, and the swift action have shocked the world!

If the previous action of encircling and killing Qu Guo's general at the border had made Hell's Gate famous in the Eastern Region, then this action in Qi capital undoubtedly made Hell's Gate renowned throughout the world!

The great State of Qi is not comparable to a small state like Qu. It's one of the hegemons of the world.

but lost all face in this incident!

The incident took place on Xiao Lianqiao, a well-known street for funerals in Linzi. However, the location was relatively remote. This is also one of the reasons why the response was not timely enough.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

But the most important reason is that Linzi has not had any major incidents for a long time.

People have almost forgotten about this possibility!

In this colossal city, there are many powerhouses who could crush several assassins. However, when trouble arises, the first thing they think of is the palace. Top-tier experts guard every important location, making it difficult to move easily for fear of being tricked by a feint attack.

By the time the Northern Barracks and the Ministry of Government Affairs had communicated and arranged for troop deployment, the secretly cultivated divine-ranked expert invited to act was already too late; the assassins had escaped.

The response from Linzi was very quick, and Zheng Shi even skipped many steps and communicated directly with the Right Xiang. However, matters concerning Shen Lin and even stronger individuals of higher ranks involve a chain reaction that ripples throughout the entire system. This is also part of the reason why Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang previously disagreed with going out of the city to deal with Su She.

Hell has no gate, but it was well prepared. It struck once and vanished immediately.

The Northern Palace Commandant, Zheng Shichu, initially classified this case as an act of retaliation by the remnants of Yang Ting's forces and submitted a letter of self-incrimination to Emperor Qi, resigning from his position as Northern Palace Commandant.

Emperor Qi refused and ordered him to atone for his crime by capturing the assassins from the Netherworld Gate and the remnants of Yang Ting's forces. The phrase "no matter the cost" was rarely used in official pronouncements, granting Zheng a great deal of trust and power.
