Sovereign’s Great Path

The four words continuously resounded in his mind, making the little thief feel as if his entire body was being sealed by a magic spell. His dull eyes stared at Teng Yan, his face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat the size of beans seemed to drip down without any money.    

Shock, fear, and even more so fear.    

What was an Emperor?    

In the secular world, the emperor represented the royal power.    

Within the dynasty, the Emperor was the ruler.    

Assassinating an Emperor was a capital offense.    

Dang, dang, dang!    

Although the little thief was only eleven years old, he was very clear on this.    

He dared to 'steal' the soldiers of the empire, but that didn't mean he dared to assassinate the Emperor. Moreover, what kind of place was the Imperial City? It was heavily guarded, and experts were as common as the clouds there. As an eleven-year-old child, it was impossible for him to succeed in trying to assassinate the Emperor.    

The trembling body, the trembling eyes.    

"Master, I —"    

Looking at Teng Yan, the little thief said hesitantly.    

"Are you scared?"    

Teng Yan said in a cold voice.    

"I —"    

"You can't be blamed for this. After all, wanting an eleven-year-old child like you to enter the imperial city to assassinate the emperor is impossible, and it's unrealistic. Go, since this young master gives you the only chance, if you want to give it up, then this young master will definitely not take you in as his disciple. " Waving his hands, Teng Yan shook his head and said.    

"I —"    

Hearing this, the little thief hesitated again.    

"Master, I'll go!"    

Moments later, the thief's firm voice rang out.    

He gritted his teeth, his face filled with determination.    

"You're going?" Teng Yan asked while looking at the little thief, and then reminded her: "Have you thought this through properly? If you go this way, you might never be able to come back, much less acknowledge this young master as your master, you might not even be able to keep your little life. I advise you that this — is not worth it. "    

"Damn, as long as Master can take me in as his disciple, I'll let that little thief do whatever it takes."    

Having made up his mind, the little thief no longer retreated.    

"Alright, go ahead."    

Teng Yan said with a smile.    

"Take care, Master!"    

As the little thief spoke, he stood up without the slightest hesitation.    

He turned around and left.    

A young boy like that great general who had set off to battle.    

"Husband, did you really want him to assassinate Xuanyuan Wudi?"    

Looking at the little thief's distant figure, Qin Feiyue frowned. He could not help but ask as he looked at Teng Yan.    

"Do you think he did?"    

"We can't kill him."    

"Isn't that …"    

"You want to test his guts?"    

"Yes, no!"    

Teng Yan said while smiling.    

Imperial City, Imperial City.    

As the residence of the Empire's royal family, the Imperial City occupied nearly a tenth of the entire capital, and its buildings were even more magnificent. At this moment, at the west gate of the imperial city, a group of armored soldiers were standing outside the west gate in two rows. They were not many in number, merely a small group of thirty people. However, each of them had the lowest cultivation level among them at level of concentration, and the leader of the group was even more of a Heaven Realm warrior.    

Concentrate, a man of heaven, may not count for much in the central region.    

However, this was the secular world.    

A man of heaven was the strong.    

Not only that, this was the first door to the Royal Capital. The first entrance, within the entire Royal Capital, it was unknown how many checkpoints there were, as well as how many teams like this. It could be said that the defense of the entire Imperial City was impregnable, as it was impossible for anyone to enter.    

Assassinating the Emperor was even more impossible.    

"Da Da Da!"    

Suddenly, the sound of eager footsteps came from afar.    

"Who is it?"    

From within the imperial citadel guards, a stern shout rang out.    

"Child?"    

When they saw the person that had arrived, all of the Imperial City Guard Army soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.    

"Kid, do you know where this is? "Hurry up, let's go play by the side!"    

Another person said as he swung his arm.    

"I — I — I want to see the Emperor."    

The child said.    

The child was none other than the little thief that was about to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor.    

"To see the Emperor?"    

The child's words stunned all of the soldiers.    

"Go to hell, whose child is this? You can see His Majesty whenever you want to?" "Let's go!"    

"No, I want to see the Emperor."    

The thief's firm voice responded to the soldier.    

"You …"    

The soldiers were infuriated.    

"He's my uncle!"    

Following which, the little thief spoke again.    

"What?"    

The thirty Imperial City Guards in front of him were all stunned for a moment, and their gazes that were filled with astonishment all fell onto the little thief.    

"What did you say?" "Your Majesty is, it's you —"    

"Uncle!"    

The thief's firm voice sounded again.    

"This …"    

The soldiers hesitated.    

"Hurry, I have an urgent meeting with the Emperor!"    

Suddenly, the little thief urged again.    

"This …"    

The soldier leader hesitated slightly.    

"Just you wait, I'll go report now."    

"How long will it take?"    

"At least an hour."    

"No."    

The moment the soldier's voice fell, the little thief rejected him.    

"I want to meet the Emperor Uncle right now, immediately, immediately. I have an extremely urgent matter to attend to, and this matter is related to the safety of our entire imperial court, so I can't wait for even a minute longer. If we were a minute or two late, it might bring about a calamity to our Zi Yun Empire. When the time comes — can you afford it? "    

The sharp shout came from the mouth of the thief.    

he asked coldly.    

Can you afford it?    

At this moment, the eleven-year-old youth was like a general that had just returned from a battlefield.    

Dignity, solemnity, and arrogance.    

"This …"    

Hearing this, the group of soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.    

"Hurry up."    

The little thief urged.    

"Captain, I think it would be better to bring him in, just in case …" Immediately, a soldier warned the soldier in a weak voice. Although he was only halfway through, the meaning behind his words were already understood. Then he continued, "Besides, he is just a thirteen or fourteen year old child. He is powerless. Nothing will happen to me if I bring him in."    

"This …"    

The soldier leader hesitated slightly.    

"Well, I'll take you in. However, I can only bring you to the second checkpoint. As for whether or not the people there will let you through, that is not my problem, nor is it something I can decide. Also, you must follow me along the way and not run around, understand? "    

The soldier immediately said.    

"Got it, thank you uncle."    

Looking at the soldier leader, the little thief smiled faintly.    

"Let's go!"    

The soldier leader didn't hesitate at all as he directly led the little thief into the imperial city. At this moment, regardless of whether it was the leader of the soldiers or the other 29 soldiers, any one of them, as a Spirit Focus expert, could easily kill the thief. However, they didn't expect that the youth in front of them was an assassin that had attempted to assassinate the Emperor.    

Eleven, kid.    

This was the little thief's best disguise, his biggest weapon.    

It was impossible to guard against!    

Soon, the leader of the soldiers brought the thief to the second checkpoint. There were still thirty soldiers standing guard here, but their strength was much stronger than the guard of the first checkpoint. The leader of the soldiers didn't hesitate at all as he walked up and explained to the soldier.    

"You want to see the Emperor?"    

The leader of the soldiers at the second checkpoint looked at the thief and asked.    

"Yes sir!"    

"What urgent matter do you have?"    

"Secret."    

"You!"    

"Swish!"    

After the soldier said this, the little thief suddenly ran in front of the soldier.    

'Bang! '    

A dull sound rang out.    

The little thief directly kicked the knee of the soldier at the second checkpoint.    

The sudden scene left everyone stunned.    

"Bastard, I've already told you. It's an extremely urgent matter. Ask, you only know how to ask, if delay a big matter, you can bear it? "When the time comes for our dynasty to be in danger, even if the Emperor Uncle kills your family ten million times, you all would still die with regret!"    

The angry voice came from the thief.    

His aura was extremely cold.    

Killing nine clans!    

The little thief's four words caused the souls of everyone present to involuntarily tremble.    

"Bro, I'll leave the things here to you. I'll go back first." Immediately, the leader of the soldiers at the first checkpoint looked at the leader of the soldiers at the second checkpoint and directly said. After saying this, he didn't hesitate at all as he turned and left. His meaning was clear. He did not want to get involved in these matters.    

It was none of his business.    

Kill the nine clans.    

He could not afford this crime.    

"This …"    

The leader of the soldiers at the second checkpoint was slightly surprised.    

"Okay, I'll take you in."    

"Hurry, it's too late."    

"…"    

"Carry me and run."    

"…"    

The soldier's mouth twitched again, but the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that what the little thief had said was the truth. Without the slightest hesitation, he carried the little thief on his back and rushed towards the third checkpoint. With the cultivation of the celestial realm, the leader of the soldiers of the second stage quickly brought the little thief to the third stage.    

'Bang! '    

After arriving at the third checkpoint, the little thief directly kicked one of the soldiers.    

"This …"    

Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden scene.    

"Brat, you …"    

"How dare you! How dare you!"    

The little thief let out an angry shout.    

I have urgent matters to attend to. If you continue to delay my time, I … will ask Uncle Emperor to kill your entire family and your entire family. Quickly, release them! "    

Another angry shout rang out.    

"This …"    

In an instant, aside from the soldier at the second checkpoint, everyone else was dumbfounded.    

'Whoosh! '    

The leader of the soldiers at the second checkpoint came up to the leader of the soldiers at the third checkpoint and explained to the thief. After that, the leader of the soldiers at the second checkpoint didn't hesitate at all as he turned around and left. Although he didn't know what the relationship between the little thief and the emperor was, it didn't seem fake at all. He didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.    

"I'll take you in."    

The leader of the soldiers at the third checkpoint also spoke directly.    

The fourth checkpoint;    

The fifth checkpoint;    

The ninth test.    

Just like this, a little thief and an eleven-year-old kid scared off the Imperial City Guard Army at every checkpoint in the Imperial City. Furthermore, they had been intimidated by them. After passing through one checkpoint after another, the little thief smoothly arrived at the outside of the imperial city's palace. In the entire process, no one suspected that the little thief was the assassin that tried to assassinate the Emperor.    

Eleven years old, kid, not a fighter.    

The identity of a thief was too fraudulent!
