Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1171: An Imperial Order Cannot Be Disobeyed

The person who arrived was naturally Qin Yi; he had already returned to the mansion of the Third Princess. According to his estimation, the Empress, Yun Baixuan, and that black-armored warrior were surely dead, and the people at the Second Prince Mansion should be okay.

But then he thought about the Emperor's cold nature, and perhaps he might target the people of the Second Prince Mansion. Those maids and dancers were innocent, and if they were implicated, he couldn't bear it, so he came back to have a look.

Who knew, it was exactly as he expected—the Emperor really wanted to wipe out everyone at the Second Prince Mansion.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "I know you are following orders, but these people are innocent. They were born into a life of suffering, why must they be annihilated?"

Yun Zheng sighed, "The Emperor's orders are hard to defy."

"Taking out anger on innocent lives, unworthy as a monarch."

"Presumptuous, even the Emperor is not for you to judge," Yun Zheng said angrily.

Qin Yi sneered, "You can convey my words to the old Emperor. These people, I will protect them, you all may leave."

Yun Zheng was stunned. Then, he laughed. He had never seen such an audacious person.

"Do you know that no one has ever stopped the black-armored warriors?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qin Yi said indifferently, "I don't know, nor do I want to know. I only know that with me here, no one will lay a finger on them. I do not wish to be your enemy, I urge you to leave."

"The moment you took action, you've already become an enemy of the Royal Family."

Qin Yi coldly laughed, "The Royal Family, just a place of filth and corruption, do you really think the whole world must bow to them?"

"You are very bold, do you know the consequences of these words could bring to you?" Yun Zheng's eyes narrowed fiercely, this person had no fear of the Royal Family at all.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Go back and tell that cold-hearted Emperor, born as humans, no one is inherently noble than another. Even as a ruler, there mustn't be a lack of basic reverence for life. These women are born into suffering, why must their lives be taken? They pose no threat to the Royal Family."

Yun Zheng looked coldly at Qin Yi, "Who exactly are you?"

"As I said, who I am is not important, what matters is, will you fight or retreat?"

Yun Zheng slowly drew the sword from his waist, the sword Qi chilling, pointing at Qin Yi, "The Emperor's orders are hard to defy, we have no choice."

"If that's the case, it appears we must battle. Shall we go outside?"

Yun Zheng hesitated, understanding the concern. At their level of cultivation, once they fight, the destructive power is terrifying, these ordinary women would likely be caught in the crossfire.

"Alright!" Yun Zheng agreed.

If they won, these women couldn't escape. If they lost, the women might live.

Ultimately, he wasn't as ruthless as the Emperor; he felt uncomfortable with mindless killing.

Yun Zheng, along with his men, and Qin Yi moved to the small plaza outside the hall.

Before Qin Yi stepped out the hall door, he turned to look at those women, scared like startled birds, and said indifferently, "This Second Prince Mansion has plenty of valuable things, take a piece or two at random, it'll be enough for you to live outside, go and save yourselves."

Yun Zheng did not stop them, for if this man in black failed, these women could not escape their pursuit.

"Go." Yun Zheng ordered without further words.

A dozen black-armored warriors simultaneously took action, charging toward Qin Yi to kill.

Any strong person at the Great Perfection of the Body Integration Realm could establish their own school; a dozen joining hands had a force that shook the heavens and earth.

Cold lights sparkled, and a dozen silver spears with icy glints stabbed towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi could not reveal his identity yet.

A punch was thrown, the force surged, like arid thunder rolling.

"Boom!"

The swirling storm crazily spread in all directions, the dozen silver spears were all deflected, the dozen black-armored warriors were all repelled.

Yun Zheng was shocked, so strong.

Qin Yi's figure flashed, as fierce as a tiger, directly charging towards a black-armored warrior.

With a raised fist, he punched, the fist light swept across.

"Boom!"

The black-armored warrior was very strong, yet destined to meet defeat against Qin Yi, especially when Qin Yi was protecting people.

The silver spear in this warrior's hand was directly twisted into several pieces by the fist light, the black armor on him torn with dense cracks, his whole body blasted out like a cannonball, directly collapsing the fake mountain dozens of meters away.

"Whizz!"

A cold light stabbed towards Qin Yi's back, a black-armored warrior aimed a spear at his back.

Qin Yi turned around, punched, directly clashing with the spear tip.

"Clang!"

The metallic sound was piercing, terrifying force extended along the silver spear, with a bang, the spear broke, the black-armored warrior hit by an overpowering force, his armor nearly shattered, whole body flying sideways.

Yun Zheng was shocked beyond measure, eyes fixed heavily.

"Everyone, attack together."

"Boom!"

The remaining black-armored warriors abandoned the spear attack, simultaneously throwing palms, aiming at Qin Yi, force sweeping like tides towards Qin Yi, leaving horrific cracks in its path.

Qin Yi made a sealing with one hand.

"Buzz!"

A barrier shimmering with brilliant purple light rose into the air, like a purple wall, blocking in front of Qin Yi.

"Boom!"

The rolling force crashed against the purple barrier, ripples stirred, a loud bang, a joint strike was stopped, instantly blasted away, the terrifying shockwave blew a hole over ten meters in diameter into the ground, destroying everything within a hundred-meter radius.

"Careful!" Yun Zheng shouted angrily.

Qin Yi actually penetrated through the storm's center, appearing behind a black-armored warrior in the blink of an eye, swiftly pressed against the back of his neck, directly smashing him toward the ground.

"Bang!"

The irresistible force left the black-armored warrior without any resistance, directly pressed face-first onto the ground by Qin Yi, the ground exploded, the warrior's half head embedded in the ground, he fainted without a sound.

In modern terms, this person would certainly suffer moderate cerebral concussion.

"Boom!"

Brilliant fist light swept.

A black-armored warrior was enveloped, a crack rang out, the spear in his hand nearly twisted into a pretzel, finally bursting, the armor on him shredded into fragments, he coughed blood and flew out, crashing heavily a hundred meters away, his eyes rolling back as he fainted.

Yun Zheng's fingers trembled, these were black-armored warriors, each a strong person at the Body Integration Realm. But in the opponent's hands, they were like chickens and dogs.

"Isn't it enough?" Qin Yi suddenly spoke.

The other black-armored warriors about to take action instinctively stopped.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "You are no match for me. I aim to save lives and do not wish to harm you. I urge you all to stop appropriately."

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's still the same, the Emperor's orders are hard to defy. Go."

The remaining black-armored warriors rushed over again.

Qin Yi was also furious, these people were so ungrateful.

"Whizz!"

Qin Yi directly charged toward Yun Zheng, shooting the horse first to catch the thief, apprehending him first.

Yun Zheng's momentum rose, terrifying force twisted and detonated the air around him, the longsword in his hand exploding with dazzling sword light, slicing towards Qin Yi.
