With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan acted simultaneously, throwing out four poison smoke bombs, which instantly produced thick smoke.

"Something's wrong, cough cough..." The person was about to shout when he started coughing violently.

The two men quickly threw more than a dozen poisonous flares into the crowd. The hidden guards spotted them and appeared, about ten of them, drawing their swords and charging at them.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan simultaneously raised their guns and pulled the triggers repeatedly.

Bei Chenyan's marksmanship is now very good; every shot hits a vital point.

In the blink of an eye, all ten men were taken down.

Nangong Wu was wielding dual pistols, and those who hadn't smelled the poisonous smoke and were running away while shouting were all killed by her and Bei Chenyan.

"Quick!" Nangong Wu rushed towards the palace gate.

Bei Chenyan followed behind, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Nangong Wu shattered the lock on the palace door with a single shot and went inside.

Shining a flashlight inside, you can see that the hall is completely filled with things.

She stopped looking and completely withdrew her thoughts!

In a short while, she finished packing everything on the first floor and ran up the stairs to the second floor, where there were also quite a few things, including many boxes.

Nangong Wu didn't care whether there was anything in the box or not, and put it all into her spatial storage.

Anything that could be collected into the private treasury by the Eastern Jin emperor must have been quite valuable.

Nangong Wu came down less than two minutes after she went up.

She glanced outside the door and saw Bei Chenyan standing there; no one else was coming over yet.

She took out a metal detector, wanting to check if there was any hidden room or anything like that inside.

Upon investigation, she indeed discovered a hidden underground room.

"Luckily we have this detector, otherwise it would have been really hard to find it." Nangong Wu walked towards that place and moved a cabinet aside.

Sure enough, there was an iron gate, but it wasn't locked.

This is a hidden door.

She searched around the door with a flashlight but couldn't find the mechanism.

At this moment, Bei Chenyan walked in and said, "A patrol is coming."

Nangong Wu glanced at him. "There's a secret underground room here. There must be treasure inside. You hold out for now. If you can't hold out any longer, come in."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan went out again.

Nangong Wu stopped looking for the mechanism, took out a bomb, placed it on the door, hid behind a cabinet, and detonated the bomb with a remote control.

"Bang!" The iron gate was blown open.

Bei Chenyan was stunned. He hadn't expected her to use a bomb. He put away his pistol and picked up the machine gun.

Inside the palace, Nangong Wu had already rushed into the hidden door, and once inside were the steps leading down.

Shining a flashlight inside, you see a basement about 100 square meters in size, filled with piles of gold and silver, as well as some boxes.

She raised her hand. "Take it all!"

Everything in the underground chamber flew towards her.

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

"Bang!" An explosion rang out.

Bei Chenyan got into a fight with someone.

Seeing that she had finished packing, Nangong Wu turned and left.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." The intense gunfire rang out.

Countless Taoist figures flew over.

Nangong Wu rushed out the door, just as Bei Chenyan finished emptying a magazine.

"Let's retreat." Nangong Wu rushed to his side, firing her Gatling gun fiercely at the approaching men.

Dozens of imperial guards fell down in no time.

"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin!"

The palace was filled with shouts of "Catch the assassin!"

The palace is in chaos.

"Retreat quickly!" Bei Chenyan changed his magazine as he retreated, quickly leaving the area.

At this moment, several figures flew over and launched a barrage of hidden weapons at them with great force.

Bei Chenyan drew his soft sword from his waist and blocked Nangong Wu's path, deflecting the hidden weapons.

"You're asking for it!" Nangong Wu raised the muzzle of her Gatling gun and unleashed a fierce barrage of fire.

Those people were all holding a shield. When she fired, they dodged the volley of bullets like afterimages, landed on the ground, and used their shields to block the bullets in front of them.

"Rat-a-tat-tat..." Nangong Wu fired another burst of bullets.

The bullets all hit the shield, sending sparks flying.

Nangong Wu was taken aback. What kind of shields were they carrying? How could they possibly block bullets?

She had tried it when she was in the Western Yan Kingdom; the shields used by the army couldn't stop the power of her bullets at all.

Bei Chenyan took out a grenade and threw it over.

Upon seeing this, a man from the Northern Region struck out with his palm, knocking the grenade back.

Bei Chenyan's eyes turned cold, and he also unleashed a palm strike.

"Bang!" The grenade exploded in mid-air.

"These people are from the Northern Region. Let's leave here first." Bei Chenyan picked up Nangong Wu, flew onto the roof, and headed out of the palace.

The people of the Northern Region are all highly skilled in martial arts, and their lightness skills are also superb. They are so fast that they can dodge bullets, so they don't need to linger in battle.

Just as Bei Chenyan reached the rooftop, more people caught up with him, coming from all directions. Each of them was armed with a bow and arrow, and a torrential rain of arrows rained down upon him with great force.

In a moment of panic, Nangong Wu mentally brought Beichen Yan into the space.

Although their guns were powerful, the Imperial Guards were growing in number and could not withstand the constant barrage of arrows.

Bei Chenyan was flying through the air when he was suddenly pulled by a force and fell uncontrollably to the ground. He couldn't stop the force and staggered a few steps.

"Be careful..." Bei Chenyan subconsciously pulled Nangong Wu into his arms, holding her tightly in a protective posture.

"Bei Chenyan, we're alright now." Nangong Wu nudged him.

When he felt no pain, Bei Chenyan realized something was wrong.

Looking up, they realized that their surroundings had completely changed; it was nighttime here, but daytime.

He was certain that this was not in the palace at all.

"Where am I?" he asked, puzzled.

Where have all those Imperial Guards gone?

"Look outside first!" Nangong Wu pointed outside.

Bei Chenyan was immediately shocked. "This..."

Because the palace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was right outside.

Even more surprisingly, the palace guards walked past them carrying torches, but seemed not to notice them at all.

The place where he and Nangong Wu were was as bright as day, seemingly a different world from the dark palace outside.

They seemed to be inside a transparent halo, able to see everything outside, while those outside could not see them.

"Is this your magic bag?!" Bei Chenyan said with certainty.

He remembered the things and decorations inside very clearly, even though it was only for a short while when he got out of the car last time he came in.

"Hmm." Nangong Wu looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The way the man protected her just now was an instinctive reaction in a dangerous situation.

He was risking his life to protect her, wanting to shield her from the arrows with his back.

Bei Chenyan curled his lips into a smile. "Actually, you don't need to worry. With my lightness skill, I can easily get rid of these people."

"In that case, let's fight our way out." Nangong Wu filled his military bag with ammunition.
