That night, in Sanghai City.
This city near the East China Sea was extremely prosperous. When it belonged to the old Qi State, it was a famous city that never slept in China.
Mulberry Sea City was too far away from the center of power.
In addition, the people of Qi had always been focused on business and were not interested in obtaining divine artifacts or recovering their homeland. As a result, after Great Qin destroyed Qi, the so-called curfew had never been strictly enforced.
However, Sanghai City, which was supposed to be brightly lit, was plunged into silence and darkness tonight.
For some reason, a few days ago, a large number of soldiers in black armor arrived in Mulberry Sea City and emphasized the curfew again. They also said that they would strictly follow the laws of the empire.
It was night.
The wind blew, and the dark clouds in the sky moved slowly, covering the bright moon in the night sky.
For a moment, the entire Mulberry Sea City fell into complete darkness.
Even Buggy, who was originally noisy, was silent at this moment.
In the darkness, a sudden change occurred!
The originally quiet street was filled with waves of footsteps. As they intersected, they actually had the momentum to shake the sky.
Groups of tall soldiers in black armor were moving back and forth through the streets of Mulberry Sea City, searching every house.
If he could not answer a single question, he would be brought back to the military camp and tortured!
For a moment, the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night sky.
However, in the shadows where the flames could not reach, figures in black clothes flashed past the sky of the city.
Their bodies were sharp and vigorous, and their eyes were like eagles as they scanned the houses in the city.
It was like a ghost born from the darkness.
The house where the light was stored could be broken into and searched wantonly!
Anyone who was suspicious could be killed on the spot!
This was the supreme order from His Majesty the Emperor.
It was better to kill a hundred wrongly than to let one go!
……
At this moment, on a small road in the suburbs.
Black shadows gathered at a corner of the road. Their eyes were as sharp as night herons. Even in the darkest night, they could see everything clearly.
Hundred Birds Organization!
The person in the lead was Mo Ya.
Mo Ya looked around and asked softly when he saw that all his subordinates had arrived.
"Did you find anything?" The ink crow's voice was very soft, as if it was afraid of disturbing some unclean things in the night.
"This subordinate discovered an abnormality on a road.”One of them answered and took out a small cloth bag.
He gently opened the small bag. There was some soil inside, but under the moonlight, it seemed to emit some strange light.
"Someone scattered some kind of stimulating powder on the ground of that road.”" I've done some tests on this mountain thing," the man explained." I found that as long as it touched a little, those animals would become abnormally violent."”
So, those assassins used this thing to stimulate Young Master Su's horse?
It only works on animals…
Such a thing was not common even in China.
"Take care of this thing and continue to investigate along this lead.”
"Yes, sir."
After the man finished speaking, another scout stepped forward.
"Milord, this subordinate found dense footprints not far away. It seems to lead to the nearby mountains.”
After the assassination, he fled into the mountains…
Mo Ya narrowed his eyes, his pitch-black eyes filled with suspicion.
To be honest, how could a group of assassins with such exquisite arrangements reveal such a huge flaw at the last moment of the operation?
In his eyes, these dense footprints were more like a trap.
A trap specially set for investigators, a death trap.
However, the Underworld Lord had already given them a death order.
Even if it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, they would still have to brave it!
"Follow that footprint into the mountain. Remember to be careful.”Mo Ya said indifferently, his voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness.
"When you reach the mountain, regardless of the appearance of the person you see, just clean them up on the spot. There's no need to say anything!”
"This subordinate listens!"
……
The next day, in an inn in Xianyang.
It happened to be noon, and the inn was filled with people.
Two muscular young men in short clothes were sitting at a table. The two of them raised their glasses and drank happily.
"Brother Li, you heard that there were soldiers everywhere in Sanghai City yesterday.”a man said.
"I've heard about what Brother Pan said.”Another man poured another cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"The two of you may not know, but some major events have happened recently. Let alone Mulberry Sea City, even Xianyang City will soon be chaotic.”Another voice interrupted their conversation.
The two of them were stunned at first, then they looked towards the source of the sound.
The person who came was a young man with an ordinary face. He was dressed in black. Although he did not look very strong, his every move was filled with strength.
"Brother, are you also from the martial world?”
The man smiled lightly and did not answer. He just sat beside the two of them.
"Waiter! Give me another pot of wine, and I'll treat these two brothers to a drink!”
"Come!" The waiter quickly called out and then took a pot of wine and placed it on the table in front of the three of them.
The two of them did not stand on ceremony and just cupped their hands.
"Thank you, brother."
"It's fine." The young man chuckled and asked,""But I am very curious. Brothers, do you know anything about what happened today?”
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other and did not think too much about it.
"I heard from my brothers in the underworld that the emperor's eldest son, Young Master Fusu, was assassinated.”The man surnamed Pan said. Towards the end, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alerting someone.
"Brother, you know quite a lot.”The black-robed man smiled lightly when he heard this.
"Please come with me to ask some questions.”
The black-robed man's voice was not very loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable majesty.
" Who are you?!" The two men immediately became alert, their hands already on the hilts of their swords.
The black-robed man was expressionless as he gently placed a token on the table.
At that time, there was a black waist token that seemed to be made of some kind of stone. It could absorb all the light that shone on it.
In the middle of the waist token, two golden characters were carved in small seal characters.
The net.
The two of them felt a chill run down their spines.
The Network was a secret organization that worked for the emperor. Everyone in the martial arts world knew the name of the Network.
It was rumored that the people inside were all vicious and vicious. Outsiders who were invited into the trap were always in danger.
Why not…
The two of them looked at each other again.
As if sensing their thoughts, the black-robed man put away his waist token and clapped his hands lightly.
In an instant, countless black-robed scouts filed in from outside the inn, surrounding the hall until not even water could leak out.
"In this inn, bring back all those who carry swords.”
At this point, the man in black's originally calm eyes revealed a few traces of ferocity.
"If we don't get anything out of him, we can't let anyone leave!”
……
Daze Mountain, the headquarters of the farmers.
In an open space, the hall masters of the various clans and the six elders stood with their hands behind their backs. They looked at the tall and muscular man in front of them with solemn expressions.
The man had a strong build and a resolute face. His entire body was filled with scars of all sizes.
What was even more terrifying was that the man's face and body were stabbed with the words of the seven countries, symbolizing that he had escaped death again and again.
On the man's back was a huge broad-bladed sword. The ancient sword body was not very gorgeous, but it was filled with the aura of power. It was as if it did not need any fancy techniques at all. It only needed the most primitive and wildest power to destroy all enemies.
This was the so-called strength can overcome ten skills.
Famous Sword, Great Ravager.
At this moment, the person carrying him was the only person in the past hundred years who could truly display its strength. He was a person who made people tremble in fear in the martial arts world.
Black Swordsman, seven wins.
Seeing the man in front of them, Lie Mountain Hall's Hall Master Tian Meng and Gong Gong Hall's Hall Master Tian Zhong's faces turned cold. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.
As for Kui Kui Hall's Hall Master, Tian Mi, her gaze was even more erratic, and her expression could not be seen clearly under the veil.
"Sheng Qi! You harmed your brother and bullied your sister-in-law. You were already expelled from my farm, and now you actually dare to return!”Lie Mountain Hall's Hall Master, Tian Meng, shouted in rage with an awe-inspiring look.
"My farm was just invaded a few days ago. You came back at this critical moment. Could it be that you want to take advantage of others?”Gong Gong Hall Master Tian Zhong also chimed in.
"Or could it be that you are in cahoots with that Lord of Wu 'an, Baiqi?”
Their voices were sonorous and forceful, resounding throughout the entire courtyard, as if righteousness was really on their side.
Sheng Qi wasn't annoyed.
After he was expelled from the farm and changed his name, he had been in Jianghu for many years. Although he had killed countless people, he was not a simple-minded person who did not know his limits.
Now, he had returned to this familiar place to take back everything he had.
If he could not prove his innocence, then he would use his own strength to talk to the rules set by the farmer's ancestors!
Sheng Qi did not say anything else, only cupped his hands towards the six elders of the farm.
"Elders, Sheng Qi knows that his words have no evidence. He has no way to prove his innocence now.”
"In that case, let the rules of the ancestors speak!”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the various clan leaders turned cold, and a hint of hostility appeared in their eyes.
"You guys, who's first?" Sheng Qi pulled out the Great Ravager on his back. This huge, bladeless sword emitted a strange glow under the sun, as if it was filled with battle intent.
"Or should we attack together?"
"Arrogant!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lie Mountain Hall Master Tian Meng flew out like a bolt of brownish-red lightning. With lightning speed, he attacked Sheng Qi.
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard as the halberd in Tian Meng's hand collided with the Great Ravager, creating a dazzling spark.
"Tian Meng, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Is this all you have left?”Sheng Qi exerted force and pushed Tian Jia back.
What an overbearing power!
Tian Meng was secretly shocked. After so many years, Sheng Qi's strength had improved.
"Again!"
Tian Meng charged out once again. However, this time, his attacks were like a storm, leaving afterimages in the air. The dense internal strength attached to the halberd seemed to ignite the air!
Seeing this, Sheng Qi only used the Great Ravager as a shield to block Tian Meng's attacks.
"You're done attacking. It's my turn!”
Seeing that Tian Meng didn't have any more moves, Sheng Qi rushed towards him. His muscles tensed up, and the heavy Great Ravager in his hands was as light as a feather!
There were no fancy moves, no fancy footwork.
It was only the wildest attack of the Dark Swordsman, one that was filled with power!
Tian Meng's pupils constricted. He immediately turned his body and jumped more than ten meters away before barely dodging this terrifying attack.
Bang!
Following a shocking loud sound, the empty space where Tian Meng was originally standing was actually smashed into a huge deep pit.
What terrifying power!
"Let me fight you too!" Gong Gong Hall Master Tian Zhong saw that Tian Meng had fallen into a disadvantageous position after fighting for a long time, so he immediately pulled out his sword and flew away.
At this moment, the two of them were already in the same boat. If something happened, neither of them could escape!
When Tian Mi saw this, she also quietly moved behind Sheng Qi. A few poisonous needles slowly extended out from her sleeves…
"Come on! Let's attack together!" Sheng Qi raised his Great Ravager high up, his eyes filled with battle fervor.
These despicable people will pay the price for what they have done today!
……
At this moment, in a quiet corner of the farmhouse.
His pair of eyes calmly watched the battle between Sheng Qi and the other hall masters.
This person had ink-black eyes and black hair. His blue forehead band and red ribbon tied his black hair up casually, making him look quite free and easy.
Xuan Jian, the number one assassin of the Network.
He was originally a top-notch bandit in the martial arts world that made people tremble in fear. No one knew his true name.
The famous sword in his hand became his name. People in the martial world called it the "Black and White Profound Splitter".
After joining the Network, he was affiliated with the Yue Wang Sword and was trusted by the leader of the Network, Zhao Gao.
According to the legends, there seemed to be many dead souls hidden in his body…
"Have we arranged our people in the various halls of the farm?”
Xuan Jian didn't shift his gaze and only asked suddenly.
"Milord, everything is ready. We are only waiting for Milord's orders.”A hoarse and deep voice sounded, but no one could find the source of the voice.
"No rush."
Xuan Jian's eyes were as indifferent as water.
He and his group had been planning for this farm for far too long.
This peasant traitor first participated in the assassination of the current emperor and then hid the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations. He already had too many ways to die!
Not to mention, the remaining members of the Mo family were also hiding here.
The net acted like a poisonous snake.
When he didn't attack, he would hide in the dark, not letting anyone notice his existence.
Once he attacked, he would strike at the throat and not give the enemy any chance to react!
"When the time is right, we'll take down the farmer family.”
Xuan Jian's voice was not very loud, but it carried an intense killing intent.
"Yes."
" Yes!" The voice replied and disappeared into the air.
……
That night, at the Star Observation Platform.
Donghuang Taiyi stood in front of the huge windowsill without saying a word.
The stars tonight were different from usual.
In the night sky, not only the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, but all the stars in the east were much brighter than those in the west.
That was the direction of East County.
A farmer.
It seemed that something terrible was about to happen in the east of the empire…
"Moon Goddess." Donghuang Taiyi did not turn around. He only called out softly. His ethereal voice slowly spread in the air.
Before he could finish his sentence, a beautiful woman with a veil over her eyes slowly walked out from the shadows and bowed to Donghuang Taiyi.
It was the Right Protector of the Yin-Yang School, the First Emperor's most trusted Grand Wizard, Yueshen.
"Mobilize all of our hidden forces in East County to scout out the movements of the farmer's family and its vicinity.”
"All of this might be related to the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.”
The Moon Goddess bowed again.
"This subordinate understands."
"Also, we need to hurry up with Ji Ru Qianlong.”Donghuang Taiyi changed the topic. He looked at the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon shining in the night sky, and his eyes under the mask revealed an inexplicable emotion.
"If we can master both at the same time, the ultimate secret that generations of ancestors of the Yin-Yang School have been searching for will be revealed in our hands.”At this point, Donghuang Taiyi's ethereal voice revealed a hint of unnoticeable excitement.
"This subordinate understands."
The Moon Goddess bowed again and slowly retreated, disappearing into the darkness.
……
On the same day, at the Fourth Young Master's Mansion.
Ying Ziyan sat in front of the desk, concentrating on reading one bamboo scroll after another.
In the past few days, all parts of China were under martial law. The Empire's army and the spies of the Network were frantically investigating everywhere, searching for all suspicious people.
All of this was naturally within the control of the Fourth Prince of the Empire.
At this moment, a figure quickly walked in from the entrance of the hall and knelt in front of Ying Ziyan.
It was Mo Ya.
"Reporting to the Underworld Lord." " Yes!" Mo Ya bowed deeply." I have some clues about the forces that assassinated Young Master Fusu!"”
Finally.
Ying Ziyan's pitch-black eyes revealed a cold light.
"Speak."
