Chapter 1618: Deep Into the Enemy's Nest

A dozen Black Armor Guards surrounded them without saying a single word.

"What is going on?" asked Linghu Shuang in a worried manner.

"I have no idea as well.. I have never offended them before..." replied Chen Xiaobei, baffled.

"Master Baihu! What are you trying to do?"

Bai Linsu could finally recognize the person that stood behind her.

"Master Baihu? Embroidered Uniform Guard?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

They were supposed to receive orders directly from the king and they served only the king. Hence, they were considered to be the most secretive group of people. Considering that they were the king's most trusted allies, they were given the mandate to capture anyone, take charge of a prison, watch over hundreds of officers, and even collect covert military intel. Throughout history, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were supposed to know the secrets of all officers in the nation because of their ability to collect intel effectively.

They could put the highest-ranking officer into a prison or even commit a death sentence to an entire family. That was why everyone was afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. From the bottom to the top, their ranking system was Xiaoqi, Zongqi, Baihu, Qianhu, ZhenFu Shi and Zhihui Shi! This man that Bai Linsu addressed as Master Baihu was be considered to be a mid-tier Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, he started acting in a very arrogant manner when he met Bai Linsu. It seemed like he had no regard of Bai Linsu's status. Clearly, they were not afraid of anyone except for the king of Green Hill Starfield.

After waiting for some time, the man did not answer Bai Linsu's question. So, she had to lower down her voice before asking him again.

"Master Baihu, how can I help you?"

"Motherf*cker! Do you guys even know the rules? Master Baihu is standing! How dare the three of you sit down and ask him questions? It seems like you guys have a deathwish!" said a muscular man.

With a frown on her face, Bai Linsu then stood up slowly. Upon seeing that, Linghu Shuang stood up as well. As for Chen Xiaobei, he insisted that he would not stand up for him. This was his nature after all. If someone treated him rudely, he would not be afraid of treating the person in an even ruder manner.

"Please don't get me into trouble. Stand up please!" whispered Bai Linsu.

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei stood up because he did not want to drag Bai Linsu into unnecessary trouble.

"Can you please talk to us now?" asked Bai Linsu for the third time.

"Hmph! I have an order from the Prince Regent! The order is to capture Bai Linsu and her allies!"

"What?! Master Baihu, there must be some misunderstanding! I just met the Prince Regent! He was the one that allowed me to leave the palace!"

"Are you trying to say that I'm making up the order? You should know that accusing a Black Armor Guard is punishable by death!"

"No... I'm not saying that you are making up the order. I just want to know why!"

"Why? I don't know the reason behind it! I am asked to capture you, that's all! That's the order!"

"Fine! I will come with you! As for my disciple and my friend, can they..."

"No! They are your allies! According to the order, I'm supposed to capture them as well! No one is allowed to walk away from us!"

"This..."

Bai Linsu would not say yes to the Black Armor Guard since Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang were now dragged into her trouble.

"What now? Are you going to disobey the order? I know your cultivation is higher than me! If you disobey this direct order, I will have to use the Black Jade Token! By that time, Master Zhihui Shi and two Zhenfu Shi will come and arrest you and your allies personally!"

Bai Linsu was left in shock after hearing what he said.

"I'm really curious! Who is more powerful? You or the three masters?!"

Seemingly, Bai Linsu could not make up her mind right now.

"No! Don't do that! We will come with you guys!"

To their surprise, they did not expect Chen Xiaobei would succumb to them follow their order. That was not the Chen Xiaobei that they knew. The reason why Chen Xiaobei changed his mind was because he had noticed that the Black Armor Guard and Prince Regent had a huge influence in the entire Green Hill Starfield.

He wanted to know why Bai Linsu had left the Palace in tears.

He also wanted to know what was going on with the queen's baby.

Since Bai Linsu was not willing to tell him about it, he had decided to go inside the palace to find out himself.

"Bai Linsu, your ally has succumbed to us! What are you going to do now?"

"I... I'm willing to follow you back to the Palace!" said Bai Linsu.

"I can't believe that the legendary Bai Linsu is a coward! Chain them up and bring them with us!"

"Yes sir!"

Immediately, all the muscular men cuffed them with cuffs that were made out of Obsidian Steel. They then took out three bottles with mysterious liquid inside them to feed the three of them.

"What is that?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"This is Black Jade Ethereal Force Sealing solution! Our Ethereal Force will be sealed completely after we drink it! In other words, we will not be able to fight unless we get the antidote!" answered Bai Linsu.

"Okay... Fine. I will drink it!"

The moment the solution went inside Chen Xiaobei's stomach, he could feel something had blocked his Dantian and he could no longer muster a single ounce of Ethereal Force.

After that, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang drank it as well.

"Let's go!"

The sick looking man swung his hand and brought them to leave the restaurant. Soon, they arrived at a magnificent looking building. There were three words inscripted on an engraved board which said Heilin Shi! Though the name was slightly different, Chen Xiaobei thought about the Zhenfu Shi during Ming Dynasty.

After that, all of them hustled and locked up in a cold and dark prison cell. Minutes later, an old and thin man approached them.

"Greetings Prince Regent! All hail the king! All hail the king!"

The sick looking man and all the muscular men knelt down at the same time.
