Chapter 1454: Underestimated Him

The shadow guards were hiding in every corner, waiting for their chief, Lord Zhong, to give the command.

However, they were still a little afraid of Qian Jiyun. Everyone knew that offending Qian Jiyun would result in dire consequences.

Although they were the Emperor’s shadow guards, they did not want to have a bad end.

“Wait.” Lord Zhong glanced at the shadow guard.

He had to wait for word from the Emperor. They could only emerge and take Qian Jiyun’s life if the Emperor ordered it.

However…

He was still hesitant, but he quickly suppressed it. It was useless to think too much at this point. He could not stop carrying out the operation just because he thought it was impossible, right?

The shadow guards’ aim was to not give up, even if the operation failed.

“Wait for the Emperor’s orders.”

“The Emperor’s orders? Didn’t the Emperor—”

Before the shadow guard could finish talking, he felt a pang in his chest. He looked down and found a bleeding wound on his chest.

“Lord… Lord Zhong…”

He raised his head and looked at Lord Zhong slowly. Without saying anything, he spat a mouthful of blood, soaking his chest.

As far as he could tell, Lord Zhong was no different from him. He was injured and spewing blood.

Lord Zhong’s pupils constricted as he said slowly, “Qian Jiyun…”

They had underestimated Qian Jiyun, after all. He could kill them with a single blow, even if they did not emerge.

They were certain that Qian Jiyun would not find them because they were properly hidden. However, Qian Jiyun had already noticed them and killed them silently.

He believed that the other shadow guards were in the same situation. None of them might survive once Qian Jiyun entered the imperial study.

“I’ve underestimated him.”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes slowly and waited for death.

There was a hole in his heart. Even if he wished to live, he could not. The only choice was to die.

In the imperial study, the old Emperor planned a final effort to threaten and bribe Qian Jiyun into handing over his artifact.

If he refused to hand it over, he would have no choice but to kill him.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

After entering the imperial study, Qian Jiyun bowed to the old Emperor.

He would never kneel in front of this annoying thing. He did not want to at all.

“Jiyun, you’re here!”

The old Emperor was no longer bothered by him not kneeling.

In his eyes, Qian Jiyun was already a dead man, so it did not matter if he knelt or not. Forgiving a dying person was his last act of kindness.

“Your Majesty, do you have any instructions for me?” Qian Jiyun asked, looking at him calmly.

“Nothing much. I just wanted to remind you about the Third Prince.” The old Emperor smiled and set down the memorial in his hand.

“The Third Prince has many capable allies. I’m worried that you may suffer a loss at his hands. I’m wondering whether you think you can capture him quickly.

“Or do you have any artifacts that can catch him instantly?”
