Chapter 920: Strong enemy, uncertain

Before dawn was the darkest time, and it was also the time when people were most tired. The defense at this time can be said to be the weakest. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu chose this time to sneak into the empty city.

"I'm going to explore the way first. Don't show up until you've determined the opponent's strength." Xiao Tianyao led Lin Chujiu over the city wall and sneaked into the empty city, but he did not let Lin Chujiu act with him.

He was confident but never arrogant. He will not risk his own life or that of Lin Chujiu before confirming the opponent's strength.

"I understand, you should be careful." Lin Chujiu was dressed in black, and her face was wrapped in black cloth. Only her eyes were exposed. Xiao Tianyao was the same as her. The two of them seemed to blend into the darkness, and people could hardly feel their presence.

Xiao Tianyao settled Lin Chujiu, tiptoed a little, and disappeared into the night. Lin Chujiu watched him, then silently looked away, playing with a small box in her hand. Her eyes were slightly closed, but her ears were alert. Keeping attention to what's going on around her.

Xiao Tianyao ran all the way north. The Imperial Palace of the Shengyuan Dynasty in the north faced south. But Xiao Tianyao’s destination was not the imperial palace, but the imperial temple!

It was the first time for Xiao Tianyao to come to the capital of the Shengyuan Dynasty, but he was very familiar with every sight and thing here. He could find the location of the imperial temple without even with closed eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tianyao arrived at the Imperial Temple. Looking at the dilapidated gate and the desolate temple, Xiao Tianyao couldn't describe his feelings. In short, it was neither sadness nor regret.

Although he was a bloodline of the Shengyuan Dynasty, he had been indoctrinated since he was a child to rebuild the Shengyuan Dynasty as his responsibility, and he also believed that he was a member of the Shengyuan Dynasty. However, when he saw the capital and imperial temple of the Shengyuan Dynasty, he had no sense of belonging.

The only one who was desolate in this place was himself. This place was no longer the Shengyuan Dynasty of the past. Even if he rebuilt the Shengyuan Dynasty, some things and some people cannot go back.

Without any hesitation, after making sure that no one was around, Xiao Tianyao walked into the imperial temple, step by step, neither fast nor slow, calm and measured. It didn't feel like he was visiting the imperial temple at night, but like he was wandering around in his own home.

The four masters hiding in the dark disappeared the moment Xiao Tianyao came in. They didn't even dare to look at Xiao Tianyao for fear of disturbing Xiao Tianyao.

The Central Empire knew that the Shengyuan Dynasty had secrets. Since the destruction of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the Central Empire had been sending people to garrison the empty city, just to wait for the descendants of the Shengyuan Dynasty to come.

Over the years, many people have sneaked into this city, and many people have sneaked into the palace, but they were not descendants of the Shengyuan Dynasty. They either want to hide from their enemies here, or they want to try their luck in finding missing treasures.

Over the years, no matter who sneaks into this city, the first destination was the imperial palace. The person who came tonight was the only one who did not go to the imperial palace but came directly to the imperial temple.

The four masters believed that this person was likely to be related to the Shengyuan Dynasty.

There were nine floors in the Imperial Temple, which means there were nine supreme floors. Xiao Tianyao climbed up one floor at a time, without using light work, but without making any sound.

After reaching the seventh floor, there was still no movement. Xiao Tianyao knew that his whereabouts must have been discovered, and the strength of the other party was far above him, or similar to him, but the other party was better at hiding because he did not find the scent of other people in the temple.

Since he couldn't hide it, he no longer had the intention of hiding his purpose. He stayed on the seventh floor for a while, before he went to the ninth floor of the Imperial Temple.

The things in the temple had been emptied long ago, and every floor was the same. There were spider webs everywhere, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Xiao Tianyao looked at the empty imperial temple and did not take any action. Instead, he shouted: "Come out, I know you are here!"

Xiao Tianyao was not kept waiting for long. The four masters sent by the Central Empire appeared at the same time. The four of them stared at Xiao Tianyao with burning eyes and frowned: "Supreme Martial God?" After all, martial gods can't detect their existence. Even most supreme martial gods cannot detect their existence.

"Four? You'll come together or one by one?" Xiao Tianyao glanced at him and made sure there was no one else in the imperial temple, and he felt a little at ease.

With one against four, he was sure of escaping, but if two more were to be added, he had no confidence at all. After all, he has to steal something during the fight.

"You have such a big tone, kid. Since you are seeking death, we won't be polite." After saying this, the four of them took action simultaneously… …

The pressure of the four super martial saints was not ordinary. If the four supreme martial gods attack at the same time, it will be difficult for even Xiao Tianyao to escape intact.

Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao made complete preparations this time. He specially made a set of light armor with black iron ore and wore it inside. Although he was injured by the four supreme martial gods, Xiao Tianyao was protected by the light armor, so he was only slightly injured.

"Good boy, you have the ability." The first move was just a test. Seeing that Xiao Tianyao took it easily, the four supreme martial gods couldn't help but become cautious.

However, Xiao Tianyao never gave them a chance to take action. The four of them just paused for a moment before Xiao Tianyao stepped forward with his sword and took the initiative.

With the first sword, Xiao Tianyao did not intend to hurt anyone, but just to destroy the position where the four people were standing and break through a line of defense to avoid being surrounded by the four people.

Xiao Tianyao's sword was made of black iron ore. Black iron ore was no stranger to the four supreme martial gods, so it was nothing. As long as they want, they can also make sophisticated weapons made of it at any time, but… …

Ever since they reached the level of supreme martial gods, they rarely used weapons. Especially after settling in this empty city, they had almost no chance to make a move. Even if they wanted to make a move, with their ability, they could crush the opponent with just one move. So what's the use of weapons?

Therefore, facing Xiao Tianyao's domineering swordsmanship, the four masters could not gain the upper hand for a while, and could only draw with Xiao Tianyao.

"Damn it, this guy's strength is far greater than our own. Don't be careless." After not using force for more than ten years, and facing such a powerful enemy as Xiao Tianyao, the four masters were struggling for a while.

Decades have passed. Although the Central Empire has been sending people to keep an eye on the empty city and has not given up monitoring the Shengyuan Dynasty, its defenses have weakened a lot.

Similarly, after waiting for more than ten years, the blood of the Shengyuan Dynasty has not come, and the masters stationed here have also lost their original fighting spirit.

Ten or twenty years ago, the strength of the four supreme martial gods guarding the empty city, was not like what it was now.

"Be careful. Keep your spirit up and capture him alive." Xiao Tianyao was different from the previous intruders. No matter how stupid the four supreme martial gods were, they knew that he must be extraordinary.

If they were only three points certain before, now they are seven points certain that this person was related to the Shengyuan Dynasty.

After guarding for decades, they finally found a person who was suspected to have blood from the Shengyuan Dynasty. They were determined to capture him no matter what… …
