"Under the decree of His Majesty, I order the arrest of the prime offender. Everyone, surrender now! Anyone who resists will be killed on sight!"
The booming voice of Lin Qingyi could be heard all around.
This was the process of the Brocade Guards. Regardless of the situation, an act of aggression within Tiandu had to be announced with an official title.
However, the people inside the residence were well aware of their exposed position and paid no heed to Lin Qingyi's words.
"Climb over the walls."
As soon as the order was given, many prepared to flee over the walls.
But as soon as a figure appeared, the Brocade Guards stationed around the perimeter showered them with bolts from their prepped crossbows, forcing them back and even hitting a few unlucky ones.
A crossbow might not be that effective in a one-on-one martial artist combat as most are capable of dodging with their sharp reflexes.
