Why would the people of West Hall appear in such a remote town?
This was Shangguan Haitang's doubt.
He muttered.
Over the years, the West and East Chambers had been under Cao Zhengchun's command.
If it wasn't for an extremely important matter, the West Hall wouldn't have mobilized so many people.
The only thing that could make the West Hall act like this was probably related to the Heirloom Seal.
Duan Tianya nodded after hearing Shangguan Haitang's words.
"It must be related to the loss of the Imperial Jade Seal."”
"Cao Zhengchun has been plotting to usurp the throne all these years. This time, the Imperial Jade Seal has fallen into the martial arts world. He will definitely not let it go.”
Shangguan Haitang and the other two had come to the martial arts world under the orders of their foster father, Zhu Bujue, to search for the Heirloom Seal.
Duan Tianya frowned and thought of a plan.
"Perhaps if we follow the people from the West Chamber, we can find the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal."”
Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao agreed to this idea.
Drive, drive, drive!
At this moment, the people from the West Hall were rushing over.
The sound of horse hooves was chaotic. It was obvious that they were fleeing for their lives.
Shangguan Haitang and the other two hid in a tree by the roadside, secretly observing the people from the West Hall who passed by.
At this moment, Shangguan Haitang said in surprise,""Yu Huatian, why are you heavily injured?”
As he spoke, Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao looked at Yu Huatian.
Yu Huatian had blood on the corner of his mouth. His body was lying on the horse's back, unable to even stand up.
He was also surrounded by the guards of the West Hall, as if they were protecting him.
" What's going on?" Duan Tianya was shocked." Yu Huatian is actually so heavily injured?"”
This puzzled the three of them.
Yu Huatian was the supervisor of the West Hall.
His martial arts were peerless, and he was scheming and ruthless.
Ordinary people were no match for him.
In addition, Yu Huatian had brought a large group of people with him on this trip.
The guards of the West Hall were highly skilled in martial arts and there were many of them.
Who was it that could injure Yu Huatian, an expert, under the protection of so many guards of the West Hall?
This was what puzzled the three of them.
Shangguan Haitang analyzed.
"Yu Huatian must have met a peerless expert in the town.”
" There's no reason," Duan Tianya said." Yu Huatian has always been calculative and calm. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who is passionate about fighting with martial artists."”
"In addition, the purpose of his trip this time is for the Heirloom Seal.”
At this moment, Guihai Yidao, who was at the side, shouted.
"Perhaps, this Imperial Jade Seal appeared in this small town, and the person who injured Yu Huatian was the person who took the Imperial Jade Seal.”
Hearing this, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang were rather surprised.
This was not impossible.
Yu Huatian had really lost to an expert who held the heirloom seal.
Shangguan Haitang said,"It's that Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, Azure Dragon!"”
"His martial arts is very high, not inferior to Yu Huatian. He also has the super weapon of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Thirteen Forces of Ming Dynasty. It is not impossible for him to seriously injure Yu Huatian.”
He looked at the people from the West Hall who had left.
" Let's split into two groups," Duan Tianya instructed." I'll follow Yu Huatian and see what's going on."”
"Haitang, you and Yidao will head to the small town and check on Azure Dragon's whereabouts.”
"Remember, if you find the Azure Dragon, don't act rashly.”
"Azure Dragon's martial arts are very strong, we can't be careless. Moreover, Godfather told us that we can't expose our identities when we're searching for the heirloom seal.”
"If you can't find the Azure Dragon, return here and follow the marks I left behind to find me.”
The three of them were all skilled secret agents of the imperial court. They had worked together for many years and had a deep understanding of each other.
After saying that, the three of them split up.
Duan Tianya ran away.
Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao went to the small town.
To track down the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon.
……
"Waiter, bill!"
Li Xingchen left a silver ingot on the table and left the inn.
Looking at the corpses of the guards in the West Hall, Li Xingchen's lips curled up.
He muttered in his heart, This is a complete hatred for the West Battalion.”
"I have to disguise myself properly.”
Li Xingchen decided to move forward quietly.
After all, he had already killed so many people from the West Hall, and his true colors had been exposed to Yu Huatian.
In the future, it would be very difficult for him to openly escort escorts.
He had to hide his identity well.
The most important goal this time was to send the Imperial Jade Seal to the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden City. As for the other things, they were all secondary.
After Li Xingchen left the inn, he found a tailor shop.
After buying a set of black clothes and changing into new ones, Li Xingchen mounted his horse and set off again, preparing to leave the town.
There was only one way to leave the town.
When Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao arrived at the entrance of the town, they saw a handsome young man riding a fine horse and galloping out of the town.
Shangguan Haitang glanced at Li Xingchen and didn't find it strange.
He only sighed in his heart.
"What a handsome man.”
Then, the two of them stepped into the small town.
The moment he entered the town, Guihai Yidao placed his hand on the Overpowering Saber.
"What a strong smell of blood!" he said coldly.”
Following the smell of blood, the two of them traced it to the teahouse.
The moment they entered the teahouse, the two of them were stunned.
Because the corpses of the guards of the West Chamber were lying everywhere inside.
Shangguan Haitang was shocked.
"This Azure Dragon is really ruthless. He actually killed over a hundred guards of the West Hall.”
At this moment, Guihai Yidao bent down to check the wounds on these corpses.
"What a brutal saber!"”
Looking around, only the waiter and the boss were dealing with the corpses.
"Shopkeeper, what did the person who killed the guards of the West Hall look like?" Guihai Yidao asked coldly.”
The waiter and the boss did not dare to lie when they saw the fierce and cold person in front of them.
"It's a young man holding a broken long saber. He looks about 16 or 17 years old."”
"He just left the town. I guess you guys have seen him on the road.”
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man?
Not the Azure Dragon?
