Chapter 1168 - 1168 Entrusting Someone to Help

1168 Entrusting Someone to Help

Ed was secretly glad that he had pulled back before it was too late and reduced the potential damage that he would suffer.

In addition, it was said that when the Imperial City was invaded, even the Empires sword saint appeared.

In the end, they couldnt even stop a single person.

On the other hand, the royal guards had a fight with a group of mysterious people, and many of them died.

The Emperor was furious and ordered to find the attacker at all costs and bring Her Highness Mingyue back to the royal family.

But then again, who was that mysterious group? Where did they come from?

Why hasnt he seen them yet?

Could it be that they were still hiding in the dark?

Ed felt that Fang Heng was hiding too many secrets.

He didnt dare to ask, for fear that his friendliness would drop.

Fang Heng stood by the window and looked at the situation outside. He couldnt help frowning.

He did not expect the Empire to focus on the Alchemy Society and even surround it. Or was Tang Mingyue being tracked by some kind of spiritual power that they could not detect? If thats the case, it would be even more difficult to escape.

Ed walked to Fang Hengs side and also looked out the window. He couldnt help but take a deep breath.

In the distance, the royal guards kept pouring out of the inner city. A large number of royal guards had already surrounded the Alchemy Society.

The chief guard, Quark, was leading a team through the square of the Alchemy Society to direct the royal guards.

Ed became nervous when he saw the situation. He looked at Fang Heng and asked, Lord Fang Heng, they are most likely coming for us. What should we do?

Tang Mingyue also looked at Fang Heng, waiting for him to give an answer.

Seeing that Fang Heng didnt say anything, Ed became a little anxious.

They were not escaping? What were they waiting for?

It was not easy to find a top-tier mission, so they couldnt die before it even started.

Lord Fang Heng, were being trapped by the royal guards. There will only be more and more of them. We still have a chance to break out now. If we dont run now, itll be too late.

Its unlikely. We still have a chance. Remember the alchemy magic array we found on the eighth floor?

The magic array has the ability to teleport, Fang Heng explained. We can find a way to leave this place by teleporting.

Ed was dazed for a moment. He suddenly felt that everything seemed to be going according to Fang Hengs plan.

He would make trouble in the inner city of the Empire, then create a huge commotion so that he could take Her Highness Tang Mingyue away. Finally, he would escape with the help of the magic array on the eighth floor of the Alchemy Society.

Tang Mingyue frowned when she heard Fang Hengs words, The people of the Empire are coming too quickly, can we still make it? Do you still need to finish drawing the magic array?

I dont know. Sandy is still studying how to break the magic array. We can only take a gamble.

Fang Heng thought for a while and added, Ed, go find Sandy and find a way to bring him out of the third floor. Ill go to the first floor to take a look. Ill try to stall for time. Well meet on the eighth floor.

Alright!

Ed agreed. He took two steps out of the door and suddenly stopped.

Whats wrong?

My friend contacted me urgently. It must be something very important.

Fang Heng nodded, Yes.

Ed did not care. He left a sleeping bag on the spot and stood still, his figure gradually turning transparent.

A minute later, a white light flashed, and Ed returned to his original state. His expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously, Lord Fang Heng, Ive heard the latest news. The royal guards are here for you. His Majesty wants to see you urgently.

Fang Hengs expression also changed.

Was he exposed?

It didnt seem right.

If he was exposed, he could have just arrested him. Why did they say that he was summoned by His Majesty?

However, wasnt it a little too exaggerated to see so many people outside?

Fang Heng had originally planned to go down and think of a way to delay the royal guards, but now this idea was completely dispelled.

Wasnt this walking right into a trap?

Ed said, Lord Fang Heng, Ive already asked my friend to find a way to delay the royal guards from searching the Alchemy Society. It wont last long.

Yes, thank you.

Fang Heng knew that Ed must have reached an agreement with some friends offline, so he said immediately, Lets go and find Sandy.

In the Imperial City, a large number of royal guards were searching for suspicious people.

After the chief guard, Quark, received the order to summon Fang Heng, he led the royal guards and barged into the Alchemy Society.

His Majesty has ordered us to lock down the Alchemy Society and investigate all the buildings around it! No one is allowed to enter! Arrest any suspicious person!

Yes!

It was only when the entire Alchemy Society was surrounded that Quark strode into the hall on the first floor with his men.

Quark walked to the front desk and knocked on the counter heavily. He asked, Is Fang Heng here?

Trudor had a deep impression of Fang Heng, whom he met during the day. He was usually quite rude and unreasonable, but he didnt dare to say anything when he met the royal guards who were even ruder. He quickly checked the room reservation record and replied, Yes, hes in Room No. 2993.

Bring us there!

Alright.

The royal guards quickly went up to the second floor and blocked the door of the room Fang Heng rented.

Quark s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Trudor.

Trudor had never seen such a scale before. He felt a little guilty, but he didnt dare to ask. He hurriedly looked for a spare key to open the lock.

Bang!

Quark stepped forward and pushed the door open.

The room was empty.

Where is he?

Ah, this

Trudor peeked into the room and saw that it was empty. He immediately shook his head and said, I dont know. They booked the room in the afternoon. Im not sure if they checked in or not. Maybe they left.

They left?

Quarks face darkened and shouted, Search! A thorough search! We must find Fang Heng!

Yes, sir! The royal guards replied in unison.

Hold on.

Just as the royal guards were about to spread out and search, the Vice President of the Alchemy Society, Moravic, rushed over with a group of students.

When Quark saw who it was, he instantly felt the situation was tricky.

The Alchemy Society was a bunch of troublesome fellows.

Its just a feudal lord who disappeared. He might have left early. Youre going to search the entire Alchemy Society just for that?

Its His Majestys order to summon Fang Heng, Quark said in a deep voice. Is the Alchemy Society trying to stop us?

Of course, the Alchemy Society will follow His Majestys orders, but they have been working on the enlightenment crystal, and now is the most critical period. If the search disturbs the research or accidentally leaks the research secrets

Moravic looked at Quark and threatened him, If His Majesty apologizes, the Alchemy Society naturally cant afford to take responsibility. Can the royal guards take the responsibility?

Quarks expression changed.

He had been in charge of protecting the royal family, so he had heard about the Alchemy Societys production of the enlightenment crystal.

The royal family attached great importance to the enlightenment crystal, and many people had been beheaded for it.

I wont make things difficult for you, Moravic said, shaking his head. If you cant make the decision, let someone who can.
