Undercurrents were surging in the State of Qin. The Prime Minister, Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai were plotting something big. There was an undercurrent surging in the entire State of Qin, and killing intent was lurking everywhere.
That night, Xia Chen sat quietly in front of the table, looking at the intelligence reports sent by Zhang Han's secret guards.
As expected, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were plotting something, and the situation was getting more and more chaotic and tense, but he was not nervous at all.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the lights in the hall flickered slightly. Xia Chen's eyes focused and he did not look up, as if he did not feel it.
"You're back. Have you settled the matter?"
As the faint voice spread, a figure appeared in front of them. He stood tall and straight, like an unsheathed sword.
This person was dressed in a long robe and held a sword. His aura was condensed and revealed a trace of the sharpness of the sword. His expression was indifferent and his temperament was calm. He would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
"It's already done!" The person cupped his hands gently, indicating that his matter was settled.
Xia Chen slowly raised his head, his eyes calmly sizing up the young swordsman in front of him. His sword aura was faintly emitting, making people feel as if there was a knife on their backs.
He was the number one swordsman in the State of Qin, known as the Sword Saint-Ge Nia!
Ge Nia was a disciple of the Ghost Valley Sect, the School of Political Traversing. His swordsmanship had reached the peak of perfection, and it was rumored that he had already reached the integration of Heaven and man, but he was still a little bit away from cultivating the sword path primordial spirit and becoming a super expert.
Ge Nia was still very young, and his strength as a Grandmaster had yet to reach his peak. He had yet to comprehend the Sword Dao, and Bai Qi was a veteran Immortal Soul Stage cultivator, at the peak of the Immortal Soul Stage.
Ge Nia was only at the peak of the Great Grandmaster Realm and had yet to condense his Sword Dao Essence Soul. In time, he would definitely be able to break through the shackles and form his Sword Dao Essence Soul.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Ge Nia's calm expression hid a trace of shock, because he suddenly couldn't see through the young king of Qin.
"Ge Nia, go and make the arrangements. I will secretly leave the palace tonight.”
After a long silence, Xia Chen broke the silence. Ge Nia immediately understood.
"Yes, sir!"
Ge Nia disappeared in a flash. His strength was already unfathomable, but it was still clearly exposed to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly as he muttered to himself,""The trip to Han Country won't go too smoothly. Lu Buwei will definitely send the Eight Petites, and his target will definitely be me. However, my abilities are not something you can fathom.”
With that, he stood up and walked out of the palace with the Emperor's Sword at his waist. The royal robe on his body suddenly changed into a black robe in the blink of an eye.
As for the imperial crown on his head, he kept it and quietly turned a corner, leaving the palace through a secret passage.
"Ruler…" Outside, a black figure cupped his hands. It was Ge Nia.
Xia Chen came out of the secret passage and looked at Ge Nia. He said calmly,"Ge Nia, to avoid being discovered, you can just call me Young Master Xia.”
"Yes, sir!" Ge Nie replied calmly.
The two of them traveled lightly and quickly, avoiding many patrolling Qin soldiers and quietly leaving Xianyang City.
Swoosh!
In the darkness, a few black shadows flashed and disappeared, landing in a large mansion.
"Milord, he has left the palace!"
The man in black reported quietly. The man in his words was none other than the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and this mansion belonged to the Prime Minister, Lu Buwei.
"Since he's gone, don't come back. Go, send a message to the Eight Petites. Tell them not to let that person come back.”
Lu Buwei's faint voice came from the darkness, carrying a shocking killing intent, as if he was going to surround and kill Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, outside.
This was to prevent Ying Zheng from coming back. He wanted him to die outside forever, which was exactly in line with his plan.
........
Outside Xianyang City, two figures stood on a mountain and silently looked at Xianyang City.
"Xianyang, when I return, no one here will be able to stop me.”
Xia Chen muttered to himself without hiding anything. Ge Nia heard him clearly, and his eyes lit up.
Ruler, where are we going?" Ge Nia looked at the king of Qin and asked softly.
Hearing his words, Xia Chen chuckled and said,""I'm going to Han Country. I heard that Han Fei and Li Si are from the same sect and studied under Xunzi of Confucianism.”
"The road is not peaceful. Lu Buwei will definitely send the Eight Petites to keep me outside the State of Qin.”Xia Chen looked at Ge Nia.
The latter's expression was calm when he heard that. He nodded and said,"Ruler, don't worry. Ge Nia will do his best to block all the enemies!”
"Let's go!"
Xia Chen nodded and turned to leave the mountain peak. Behind him, Ge Nia glanced in the direction of Xianyang before following Qin Wang.
Not long after they left, eight mysterious figures appeared at the top of the mountain, looking for something.
"They just left. Chase them, just follow them closely. Daren said that we will only act after we leave the State of Qin.”
The leader of the group spoke. After he finished speaking, he disappeared. Then, the other figures disappeared in a flash.
"Lord Prime Minister, the Eight Petites have already gone in pursuit.”
At this moment, in Xianyang City, in the Prime Minister's residence, a man in black came to report that the Eight Petites had already caught up.
"Very good. Inform the people below. Once the Eight Petites 'operation is successful, immediately act according to the plan.”
Inside, Prime Minister Lu Buwei's eyes shone with divine light, as if he could see the glorious future.
In the darkness, undercurrents were surging in Xianyang. There were signs of instability in all directions. Some people could already feel a storm coming.
On the other side, at the border of the State of Qin, a group of assassins with weapons and black hats blocked the path of the two young men.
"Go, kill them and bring their heads back to receive the reward!”
The leader of the assassins was a brawny man. He carried a large saber and looked extremely sharp. His face was ferocious and looked terrifying.
There were dozens of people in this group, and they were all assassins from the martial world. They were obviously hired by Lu Buwei.
Xia Chen and Ge Nia stood there quietly. They glanced at the dozens of assassins around them and didn't care at all.
Dozens of killers jumped over and slashed at Xia Chen and Ge Nia with their weapons.
Clang!
At this moment, Ge Nia suddenly made his move. The Abyss Rainbow in his hand was unsheathed, and a sharp light swept through the surroundings. In an instant, the assassins fell down one by one.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of assassins fell to the ground, each with a sword wound on their neck. Blood seeped out, and the stench of blood assailed their nostrils.
Xia Chen quietly watched Ge Nia attack. There was no need for him to do so. The Sword Saint was not undeserved.
"You... is... Sword Saint..." The leader of the assassins had a pale face. Before he could finish speaking, he held his neck and slowly fell to the ground, completely dead.
After dealing with the group of assassins, Ge Nia slowly sheathed his sword. Seeing that Xia Chen had already walked to the front, he followed step by step.
The two of them walked further and further away, gradually disappearing into the distance, leaving behind only the corpses of the killers on the ground, emitting a bloody smell.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, eight men in black arrived. One of them crouched down to monitor the situation and saw that all the killers had been killed with a single slash.
"It's a sword that cuts the throat. It's obviously Sword Saint Ge Nia.”This person spoke and made a judgment.
"Continue to follow!"
The eight of them flashed and caught up to Xia Chen and Ge Nia. With the arrival of the Eight Petites, a bloody massacre was about to start in Han.
