All those eyeing the inner city were mid to lower-level officers of the Rebellion Army, the larger the mansion, the higher the rank of the officer who eyed it.
The Martial Residence, as the residence of the Minister of War, was naturally one of the top-tier mansions in the inner city.
Thus, it was targeted by a mid-level officer of the Rebellion Army, an eighth-rank Martial Artist, who one could say, except for a very few, was among the top in the Rebellion Army.
Originally, he could have entered the Imperial Palace, but he felt that even if he entered the Imperial Palace, he might not gain anything, so he directly looted the inner city.
It must be said, this approach was correct.
In a short time, he acquired quite a few valuable items, not to mention money, he even acquired a Grandmaster Level Cultivation Technique.
This made him overjoyed, with this technique, becoming a Grandmaster was hopeful.
And this Grandmaster Level Cultivation Technique was obtained from a major household, now coming to the Martial Residence, this great mansion, he felt he was about to strike it rich.
“Break down the door!”
He hesitated not at all.
Now the Imperial City belonged to their Rebellion Army, they could act without any restrictions, regardless of whether there was anyone inside, breaking in would settle it.
But before his subordinates could break the door, the door opened from the inside.
The one who opened the door was the butler of the Martial Residence, Sun Xing.
Sun Xing also knew that the Imperial City had been forced into submission, this was the major trend, fundamentally unstoppable, so he didn’t interfere.
He just needed to wait for things to settle and then leave.
But the Rebellion Army actually came to the Martial Residence, he had no choice but to come forward.
This officer was almost as strong as him, so he wanted to try to stop them.
“Esteemed sirs, I am the butler of this residence, the masters have already left with all their belongings long ago, this is all the remaining money, can we be spared?”
The officer, experienced in warfare, could naturally sense Sun Xing’s strength.
But how could he give up!
Now the Imperial City was their home ground, with his status, he could mobilize thousands in a short time, how could he possibly back down.
“If you know what’s good for you, step aside, otherwise, it won’t end well for you!”
Faced with such a formidable opponent, the officer naturally did not want to easily offend.
But places where he could not retreat, he was resolute.
Sun Xing knew that this matter could not end amicably.
He alone might have been manageable, but now there were distinguished guests.
However, he was not very nervous, he knew that although the distinguished guest was in seclusion, if these people really broke in, he would definitely come out.
Seeing Sun Xing hesitating, the officer narrowed his eyes.
He felt there must be some secret in the mansion, which was why Sun Xing was so resistant.
Thus, he hesitated no longer and waved his hand: “Attack, break in, see if there are any young masters or misses inside, and they’ll be rewarded to you.”
The soldiers below instantly got excited.
These were children of nobles and officials, and they were very excited.
“Kill!”
However, just as the word “kill” was uttered, both the officer and his soldiers only saw a streak of silver light flash past; their world then plunged into complete darkness and, like ash, they disappeared from the world.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xing knew that the distinguished guest had taken action.
He turned his head and indeed saw the distinguished guest, a silver flying sword hovering beside him.
“Is the Imperial City breached?”
Wang Sheng this time was genuinely in seclusion, unaware of the outside world, leaving only a flying sword, which would automatically defend against any malice directed at the Martial Residence while also awakening him.
The moment he came out, his Divine Thought spread out to inspect the city’s condition while also inquiring Sun Xing.
Wang Lingwei and others all gathered around him.
The earlier Rebellion Army had frightened them, and they unconsciously sought the person they trusted the most.
Upon hearing Wang Sheng’s question, Sun Xing immediately replied, “Yes, the Rebellion Army has breached the Imperial City and is now looting it.”
He only knew this much and could only speak of what he knew.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought had covered the entire Imperial City and discovered the situation.
Whether it was the inner or outer city, both were like living hells, with people dying every moment.
“Are they really the Rebellion Army?”
These people claimed to be the Rebellion Army, but they seemed more like bandits; even though Wang Sheng had been intercepted before, he had never expected it to be so severe.
However, there were also some people attempting to stop them, but it was like trying to put out a cartload of burning wood with a cup of water.
At the same time, another part of the Rebellion Army entered the city, with Xiaor being one of them, who was fortunate to survive to the end.
But he was somewhat confused, because a companion had urged him to loot, and just before entering the city, that companion kept saying they should exterminate those beasts.
“Everyone within the Imperial City is someone exploiting us, we’re only meting out their own justice.”
Was it really so?
The position where Xiaor stood was in the outer city; the houses in the outer city weren’t necessarily that great.
He was baffled.
If his elder brother were there, he might have been able to explain, but unfortunately, his elder brother was no longer…
While he was baffled, suddenly, the sky, which had been clear, began to pour.
“How come it started raining?”
No one knew why, but even a heavy downpour couldn’t stop the looting.
Swoosh swoosh!
The rain grew heavier, starting to hurt as it hit people.
“Ah!”
Screams of agony came one after another, filling the Imperial City with a chilling vibe.
Everyone looked towards the source of the screaming.
The rain!
It was the rain!
The rain from the sky seemed to transform into endless blades, piercing through people’s bodies, and almost instantly killing them.
Many witnessed this scene and panicked.
Searching everywhere for shelter, but no matter where they hid, the rainwater, as if it could track them, still landed on them, eventually causing death.
Gradually, some people realized that the rain did not kill everyone, but only killed a portion of the people.
“Those people seem to be all those who killed others.”
At last, someone discerned the pattern; those who died were all wantonly killing others.
Realizing this, everyone stopped, and before long, they transformed into an army that committed no errors.
Even if the rain only killed those who had killed, no one dared to gamble.
“Is this the capacity of the Imperial City?”
Some believed this was the Imperial City’s capacity, but no one knew the real reason.
And the originator of all this was turning his gaze towards the Imperial Court.
“Summon Storm: Breakthrough +1 (1%)”
These days, Wang Sheng had made great progress on ’Summon Storm’, which was already a level eight skill and had directly achieved a breakthrough.
After completing the skill utilizing his own energy, the ’Summon Storm’ reached level nine near breakthrough.
Taking advantage of the momentum, he practiced using his own energy in the room, and just before he emerged from seclusion, he achieved a breakthrough in ’Summon Storm’.
The rainwater that killed people was the effect after this breakthrough, a pleasantly surprising effect.
Next, he could also try out the effect using a Grandmaster within the Imperial Palace…
