"I don't mean to hurt them, just want to see their strength."

Yan Lu, who fell to the ground, put away the light sword and looked at Zhang Han with clear eyes.

What Yan Lu said was the truth. With his perfect cultivation base, if he really wanted to kill these shadow secret guards, these people would have died long ago.

Yiyanlu's gentleman style does not lie at all, nor does he bother to lie.

But Zhang Han, whose memory has been erased, doesn't know Yan Lu in this world.

He pointed the long sword in his hand at Yan Lu and sneered: "You are an enemy or a friend. It is not your own decision, but the emperor's decision."

Zhang Han's voice fell, and Xiao Chen had already come to him.

"Zhang Han, he was right. He is indeed not an enemy, but our friend," Xiao Chen looked at Yan Lu with piercing eyes.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhang Han completely let go of his vigilance and inserted the long sword back into the sheath.

At the same time, he breathed a long sigh of relief. If he really fought, he would not be able to beat Yan Lu with full confidence.

"Mr. Yan Lu, since you are here, why don't you go to the imperial palace to find me, but instead come to this Xiaohuang Mountain?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

Yan Lu walked up to Xiao Chen and arched his hands at him: "The scenery of Xiaohuang Mountain is good. Come here to have a look when it comes up."

"I just didn't expect to bump into your Majesty's people, and hope to forgive me."

Unlike the others, Yan Lu was not too respectful to Xiao Chen, but he did not neglect in the slightest. Everything stopped at the courtesy of a gentleman.

Xiao Chen was watching him, and he was watching Xiao Chen too.

Yan Lu is very curious, why only Xiao Chen, who is a consummate martial artist, will be accompanied by Zhang Han, who has a consummate cultivation base as high as Martial Lord.

Moreover, judging from the situation where he was fighting the Shadow Guardian just now, Xiao Chen's master was far more than Zhang Han, and the others had good cultivation bases.

However, thinking of his own purpose to take refuge in Xiao Chen, he was relieved.

Although he has the perfect cultivation base of Jun Wu, there is always a voice in his mind that this young man can help him reach a higher level.

So, he came.

Perhaps, there is something peculiar about this teenager that attracts them!

Hearing what Yan Lu said, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Yan Lu helped me test the strength of the Shadow Secret Guard. I am grateful that it is too late. How can I blame you?"

Yan Lu seldom praised: "Your Majesty's Shadow Guards are all elites, and the battle formation is even better. If I had too many of them, it would be difficult to beat them. Yan Lu admires them."

Yan Lu's words were not a compliment, but a heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart, the shadow secret guard's teamfighting ability was indeed invincible.

"Okay, Mr. Yan Lu, how about going to the palace with me now? I still have many things to discuss with my husband," Xiao Chen put away his polite words.

Yan Lu nodded, and he was about to follow Xiao Chen to the palace. He came to Xiao Chen to take refuge in him, so naturally he would not refuse.

Xiao Chen turned and left, while Yan Lu and Zhang Han quickly followed.

"Mr. Yan Lu's strength, Zhang Han is very impressed, and I hope to have the opportunity to discuss with him."

Although Zhang Han was not deadly loyal to Xiao Chen, he was definitely the most loyal to Xiao Chen except for Gao Shun and other deadly loyalists.

Just like in Qin Shimingyue, Zhang Han's creed will never change even if he is alone, facing countless enemies and inner ghosts who oppose Zheng Ge.

Loyal to the empire, loyal to the emperor.

But in this world, his creed was passed on to Xiao Chen.

Yan Lu didn't respect Xiao Chen as much as other subordinates, Zhang Han could see it naturally.

Therefore, he wanted to find an opportunity to suppress Yan Lu, and the best way was of course to beat him head-on, so that he could completely surrender.

Yan Lu glanced at Zhang Han with a special deep meaning in his eyes, and said nothing.

...

When Xiao Chen welcomed Yan Lu, Ren Jiuyou, the president of the Assassin's Guild, also welcomed a special guest.

"Young Master Duan, why are you free to come to me?" Ren Jiuyou sitting in the living room looked at the opposite Duan Yijian and asked curiously.

Duan Yijian's face was a little gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "President Ren, you should know about the dark night pavilion sending killers to the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

Ren Jiuyou nodded. In addition to being a killer organization, Dark Night Pavilion also had someone in the organization serving as a high-level member of the Assassin's Guild branch of the Jagged Dynasty.

If someone is to be sent to Da Zhou, he will be notified in advance of the chairman of the Kingdom Branch of Da Zhou so that he can do a good job of reception.

Hearing Ren Jiuyou's admission, Duan Yijian's face became more gloomy.

He asked in a cold voice: "President Ren, can you tell me why the people from the Dark Night Pavilion sent to Dazhou haven't contacted me until now?"

Ren Jiuyou glanced at Duan Yijian a little weirdly, and then said, "Don't you know that Young Master Duan didn't receive that news?"

Duan Yijian froze for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What news?"

When Ren Jiuyou saw Duan Yijian's reaction, he knew that he really didn't know about it.

He opened his mouth and explained: "Young Master Duan, the assassin your Dark Night Pavilion sent to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time is named Liu Xu, and he is a seventh-level assassin."

"The old man received news that he had previously accepted a mission to assassinate the priest of the Celestial Snake teacher, and he could not come to Da Zhou until he completed the mission."

Duan Yijian frowned and said, "You mean he hasn't completed the task yet?"

Ren Jiuyou replied: "This is not true. A few days ago, the old man received news that he had completed the task, but he was targeted by a master of the Heavenly Snake Cult, facing another priest's pursuit?"

Duan Yijian was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "President Ren said that he had an accident?"

Ren Jiuyou shook his head and said: "No, the news I received is that he was rescued by a mysterious white-haired man, and then he followed that man."

Is this a betrayal?

Duan Yijian was a little dumbfounded, the dark night pavilion's seventh-level killer rebelled, this was the first time in heaven and on earth!

He was a little uncertain and asked, "President Ren, are you sure he has defected?"

Ren Jiuyou smiled bitterly and shook his head. At first, he didn't quite believe that this matter was true, but there were so many facts before him that he couldn't help but believe it.

He said to Duan Yi, "I don't know if it is true, but many people have seen with their own eyes that he followed the man and eliminated several powerful killer organizations."

This next paragraph of Yijian won’t work anymore. Instead, he asked curiously: "Do you know which man he is following who is? Why did they kill other killer organizations."

Ren Jiuyou said solemnly: "No one knows what that man's name is, but from the killers who have taken refuge in him, they know that the organization they belong to is called Quicksand."

"quicksand?"

Duan Yijian thought for a while and said, "The Jagged Dynasty doesn't seem to have this killer organization, right!"

Ren Jiuyou nodded and said, "Indeed, he didn't even register with the Assassins Guild."

"But he killed four of the top twenty-four killer organizations in the Jagged Dynasty in a few days. It is said that the man is heading to the headquarters of the Tomb Killer Organization?"

Ling Tomb, the fifth killer organization in the Jagged Dynasty, one of the absolute giants.
