It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Since that night on the cruise ship, Hua Jingyun has tested Su Chen several times almost every day.

But even now, the answer remains the same.

There is nothing wrong with Su Chen's soul.

He was his own tool; even without Jiang Li's reminder, Hua Jingyun would still protect him.

Jiang Li's actions, which seemed somewhat unnecessary, made Hua Jingyun quite unhappy.

"There are quite a few more foreigners in the capital now."

Looking at the people from the other three countries everywhere, Su Chen sighed with genuine emotion.

If their rulers did not plot actions against the dynasty.

The scene was quite harmonious and joyful.

"Hmm? Demonic energy?"

Su Chen suddenly sensed a faint demonic aura, and when he turned around, Hua Jingyun was already gone.

"Fleet of a flash?"

Are there other demonic cultivators inside the royal city?

Moreover, his strength is at least at the Qi Refining stage.

Su Chen frowned.

If they weren't members of the Feather Guard, then they might be the ones plotting the attack.

Jiang Li's departure from the city most likely indicates that she is heading to a satellite city.

Aside from the capital, attacking that area would be the most valuable.

Some of the guards will be transferred.

The defense of the capital city will be handled jointly by the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Guard.

"Around the time of the Lantern Festival, there will be no curfew in the capital."

In the event of an attack, the Imperial City Guard would be unable to effectively encircle the attackers in a short period of time.

The current Imperial City Guard likely possesses the ability to deal with Grandmasters.

But that's based on confrontation, allowing the Imperial City Guard to set up their formation.

Amidst the chaos, the Imperial City Guard struggled to function effectively.

"Barth, are you trying to use a two-pronged approach?"

Su Chen was unaware of how Bals managed to bypass the Imperial Guards' surveillance and successfully lead his men into the capital.

But if it's really as he imagines, the capital must be in great danger right now.

After much deliberation, Su Chen decided to use the Feather Guard's intelligence network to transmit his guesses.

"The other side will most likely make their move on the night of the Lantern Festival. This information should be able to reach Jiang Li in time."

Once Jiang Li is brought to her senses, the rest will be easy.

Hua Jingyun returned, and judging from her expression, she must have come up empty-handed.

Night fell quickly, and beneath the bustling streets lay turbulent undercurrents.

The Feather Guards quietly moved out, sweeping away every stronghold they controlled.

Under the surprise attack, with a complete advantage, the Feather Guards swept through the enemy lines.

"Vulnerable."

Jin Bufan casually killed a Grandmaster, while Yu Wei wiped out more than thirty strongholds at the same time.

Besides what Xi Chen revealed, everything, including what the Feather Guards had dug up, was thoroughly cleaned up.

None of Xichen's strongholds were spared.

That day, in exchange, Jiang Li gave the other party an ultimatum.

Before tonight's operation, as long as we evacuate the capital and stay far away, the Imperial Guards will not kill us.

"Sir, a few people are missing."

Cui Xia carefully checked the identities of all members within the base.

Before the operation was carried out, the area was under close surveillance.

It's certain that no one has left this place.

They searched almost the entire place but found no secret passages.

"Key figure?"

"Not counting."

"I will have someone continue to track it down; it's not a big problem."

Jin Bufan didn't take it too seriously.

Once the core members are eliminated, the rest won't be able to cause any trouble.

When the results of the operations at all the outposts were reported to him, Jin Bufan realized something was wrong.

In almost every outpost, people disappeared.

We can't track them down!

These outposts were clearly under tight control.

How could they disappear right under the noses of the Imperial Guards?

If one or two outposts disappear, and more than thirty outposts disappear, that's a small number of people.

The guards attempted to interrogate the few remaining survivors, but gained no useful information.

Some people don't even have a memory of their own people!

This all looks really strange!

"Notify the Imperial City Guard immediately!"

Control all the city gates!

Emergency curfew imposed!

No matter where this group of people appears in the capital, it will cause serious consequences!

Only by evacuating the people from the streets as soon as possible and making room for the Imperial City Guard can we better control the situation!

......

"problem occurs?"

Su Chen was eating in the tavern when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Immediately afterward, the black-armored soldiers of the Imperial City Guard sped past.

Emergency curfew!

Everyone, get into the nearest building immediately!

Pedestrians are not allowed on the streets!

These commands, like death knells, relentlessly drove the people on the street into the tavern.

Even though the tavern closed quickly, a large crowd had already gathered in the lobby.

Everyone looked panicked; no one knew why emergency control had suddenly been imposed.

But they knew very well that something big must have happened in the capital.

After all, the last time there was an emergency lockdown was the night Pei Yichen rebelled!

"There's a smell of blood? Someone's dead?"

Su Chen smelled a faint scent of blood.

Hua Jingyun had disappeared again, but Su Chen ignored her and instead focused on the group of people who had just flooded into the hall.

The Imperial City Guards are likely involved in the operation.

If their information is valid, or if the guards discover the movement in advance, they will choose to act tonight.

The current situation is most likely due to a blunder in the operation.

"Barth... what exactly is your plan?"

Su Chen finally found his target in the crowd.

The moment he stood up, spiritual energy enveloped his entire body, and no one around him paid any attention to his movements.

“Friends, the dynasty welcomes every guest who has come from afar.”

But wouldn't it be inappropriate to start a massacre here?

The moment Su Chen met the man's gaze, the man was startled for a moment, then revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Just as the man was about to draw his knife to kill Su Chen, everything around him instantly vanished.

It was as if he was the only one left in the whole world.

Tell me, who are you, and what are you doing here?

Su Chen's voice seemed to be full of magic, and the man's eyes became much more unfocused in the blink of an eye.

In less than two breaths, he fell into a daze.

"I am Bei..."

The man uttered a single word, his face contorted in pain, before collapsing to the ground and dying instantly.

"The methods of demonic cultivators..."

No wonder demonic energy often appears inside the capital.

So it was all you guys?

Su Chen looked grave. If that was the case, then the situation in the capital was probably not optimistic.
