Yizhou, 800 miles outside Tianfu City.
All the members of the operation to kill the King of Shu, Li Ke, had gathered.
They rode fast horses and approached Heavenly City at full speed.
It had been two days since they had received the order from Li Taixu.
Although Lee Taixu's information was highly confidential, there was no wall in the world that would not leak.
In order to be able to get the news before the King of Shu reacted, the troops of the underground river had to quickly sneak into Tian Fu City.
He had killed the King of Shu, Li Ke, without anyone noticing.
However, these two days of travel were very safe.
On the way there, not even a small group of patrolling soldiers appeared.
Moreover, the bandits nearby did not appear to block their way.
The journey was smooth without any obstructions. It could be said that there was no wind or rain, and there were no twists and turns.
In all his years in the assassin industry, Su Changhe had never encountered such a smooth sailing situation.
However, it was also because of this that Su Changhe couldn't help but become vigilant.
He tightened the reins and stopped the horse.
The other three also stopped their horses.
Umbrella Ghost Su Muyu asked,"
"Grand Elder, Tian Fu City is 800 miles ahead. Why did you stop?”
The only woman among the four, Mu, also asked,"
"Could it be that the elders have noticed something fishy?”
Mu was a member of the Mu family, one of the major families in the underground river.
The Mu family was good at using poison, and Mu was able to control poisonous spiders and poison her target without anyone noticing.
Although her combat strength was not high, she could control hundreds of thousands of palm-sized poisonous spiders at the same time.
If he was not careful, the poisonous spiders would take advantage of the situation.
However, as long as one was bitten by these poisonous spiders, they would immediately turn into a pool of pus and blood.
If that was all, the elders would not have brought her here.
The most amazing thing about Mu was that she could control spiders through her mind.
It allowed the spider to listen and be controlled even if it was a hundred miles away from it.
The reason why Su Changhe brought Mu, who didn't have much martial strength, along with him…
It was to prevent the mission from failing.
She wanted Mu to control the spider to find the water source of Tianfu City.
Hundreds of thousands of spiders poisoned the source of the water!
No matter how meticulous the King of Shu was, he wouldn't not drink water, right?
In order to complete the mission, he had to kill the King of Shu.
Even if he had to sacrifice the lives of all the citizens of Heavenly City, the head of the family would not have any sympathy.
As long as he could kill the target, any price was worth it!
Xie Qidao, who was wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a large machete, jumped off his horse.
He stretched his muscles and said,
"No, I can't ride a horse casually at my age.”
As he spoke, he straightened his body.
The sound of bones cracking came from his waist.
Xie Qidao finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Xie Qidao had an extremely high seniority in the underground river.
Even the elders had to call him uncle.
The previous patriarch of the underground river had unfortunately died from the backlash of the Yama Palm.
The leaderless underground river immediately erupted into civil strife.
All the families in the underground river wanted to sit on the position of patriarch.
All kinds of people who no longer appeared one after another.
That internal strife lasted until the sky turned dark, and the scene was like a poisonous insect being raised.
In the end, all the powerful killers of the older generation died in battle.
And Xie Qidao was the only survivor of the older generation!
Just from this point alone, it was clear how powerful Xie Qidao's combat ability was!
Hearing everyone's questions, Chief Su Changhe frowned slightly.
He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice,
"Don't you guys think that the journey was a little too smooth? It was as if the King of Shu had deliberately opened the door and was waiting for us to pass.”
Umbrella Ghost Su Muyu frowned slightly when he heard this. Among the four of them, his personality was the most gloomy and cautious.
On the way here, he had already felt that something was wrong.
However, he did not take it to heart.
But now, Su Changhe also said the same thing.
Umbrella Ghost immediately nodded."
"Elder is right. The journey in these two days has been too smooth, except for the occasional beasts. They didn't even encounter a single mountain bandit. I'm afraid that Heavenly City is up to no good!"
Mu rolled her eyes and said,"
"Have you all forgotten that the King of Shu killed thousands of people from Heavenly City in one night?”
"If the bandits knew that there was such a ruthless governor in Heavenly City, wouldn't they be so scared that they would run away?”
"Otherwise, when the King of Shu gives the order to exterminate the bandits, all these bandits will be dead!”
What Mu said made sense.
If that was the case, it made sense.
However, the elder and umbrella ghost still felt that something was amiss.
Seeing the two of them frowning, Xie Qidao said,"
"If you think there's a trap, then go home. This old fellow has lived for so long and understood one thing. Without a complete understanding of me, I will never cause trouble!”
As he spoke, Xie Qidao mounted his horse and pulled the reins, planning to return to the underground river.
Looking at Xie Qidao's actions, the elder frowned.
In order to kill the King of Shu, they had been traveling at night and at night for the past two days, with little rest.
He was in such a hurry to prevent the King of Shu from being prepared.
If they didn't make a move today, the longer they delayed, the harder it would be to complete it!
The King of Shu had 8,000 iron pagodas under him!
The elder didn't think he had the ability to defeat the Iron Stupa Army.
Therefore, he had to make a move today!
He sighed and said,"
"Uncle Xie, please wait. Today, we will kill the King of Shu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder spurred his horse and rode toward Tian Fu City.
Umbrella Ghost was still feeling a little uneasy, but since the elder had already taken action, he couldn't stop.
The three of them quickened their pace and rushed toward Heavenly City.
Su Changhe, who was at the front, frowned.
He looked at the city gate of the Heavenly City, which he could already see, and prayed in his heart.
"I hope I'm thinking too much…"
………………
East of Heavenly City, 500 miles.
The Wine Sword Immortal and Xu Changqing arrived on their flying swords.
The two of them did not choose to enter Heavenly City. Instead, they found a hidden spot nearby and observed in secret.
The sect leader of Qingwei Sect said that a great battle would break out at 12:00 today.
Looking at the time, it was just in the afternoon.
In another 15 minutes, a great battle would break out outside the city.
The two of them waited quietly. In order not to attract attention, the two of them even restrained the energy on their bodies.
After all, the two of them were here to watch the battle.
As long as it did not affect Mount Shu and the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
Then the two of them would not get involved in other matters.
………………
Tianfu City West, 600 miles
Three elders in indigo brocade robes were moving forward quickly with their lightness skills.
These three were Tang Sect elders sent by the Tang Old Master to participate in the plan to kill the King of Shu.
The three elders were two tall and one short. All three of them were very thin.
Among them, the short elder seemed to have the highest status.
As he hurried, he asked again and again,
"Are the Pearflower Storm Needles ready?”
The other two elders nodded.
Torrential Pear Blossom Needles, Tang Sect's strongest hidden weapon.
Anyone who was hit by this needle would die without a doubt. There was no chance of survival!
The production method of the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles was very complicated.
Even the Tang Sect's hidden weapon manufacturing technology was only ten sets.
However, this time, in order to ensure the completion of the mission, the three elders did not bring one each.
The short elder said,"
"Remember, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles can only be used when the King of Shu is not paying attention to us!”
"You only have one chance. You can't miss it!”
………………
Heavenly City, city gate.
Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi and Luo Xia Fairy Yin Luaxia entered Heavenly City together.
In order not to attract attention, the two peerless beauties were both disguised as men.
It had to be said that a beautiful woman dressed as a man really had a different flavor.
The king's women couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two of them.
There were even rich young ladies who sent people to pass notes to Li and Yin.
He invited the two 'gongzi' to his residence.
Li Hanyi was eager to save his brother.
Once she entered the city, she wanted to go straight to the Zhaolie Palace.
However, this action was stopped by Yin Luaxia.
Yin Luaxia said,"
"This is the territory of the King of Shu. You must not act rashly!”
"The 8,000 iron pagodas are in the city. If we alert the enemy, I'm afraid Wujie and Qian Luo will lose their lives!”
Hearing Yin Luaxia's words, Li Hanyi finally calmed down.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
………………
Heavenly City, Zhaolie Palace.
The King of Shu, Li Ke, sat on the throne.
Beneath him stood a middle-aged man in a long indigo robe.
This person was none other than Tang Lian Yue, who had been secretly sent by the Tang Old Master to inform the King of Shu.
Tang Lian Yue cupped her hands and said,
"I am Tang Sect's Tang Lian Yue. Greetings, Your Highness the King of Shu.”
"I have come this time to inform the King of Shu of something important!”
Seeing Tang Lian Yue's anxious appearance, Li Ke lightly smiled.
He already knew Tang Lian Yue's purpose for coming here.
Even the news that Tang Lian Yue was coming, Li Ke already knew.
Looking at Tang Lian Yue in the hall, Li Ke said,
"There's no need to say anymore. This king knows what you want to say.”
Tang Lian Yue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at the King of Shu in surprise.
Did he know what he wanted to say?
What was the meaning of this?
Li Ke chuckled and said,
"Lee Tai Xu sent a secret letter to your Tang clan to kill me.”
"The Tang Sect's patriarch doesn't want to take the risk, so he sent you, the next patriarch, to deliver the message.”
The King of Shu's words made Tang Lian Yue's eyes widen in shock.
He looked at the King of Shu in disbelief, his heart full of astonishment.
How did the King of Shu know about this?
Just as Tang Lian Yue was feeling astonished, a breeze blew past.
A hundred birds and parrots sing,
She knelt on one knee and reported respectfully,
"Your Highness, the underground river, Tang Sect, and Fury Sword Immortal have arrived at Heavenly City. The Liquor Sword Immortal and Xu Changqing of Mount Shu were located in a dense forest 300 miles east of Tianfu City.”
"Snow Moon City's Li Han Yi and Yin Luo Xia have already entered Heavenly City in female clothing.”
Li Ke nodded as he listened to the report.
And Tang Lian Yue was completely dumbfounded.
Parrot Song reporting in front of Tang Lian Yue was instructed by Li Ke.
What he wanted was Tang Lian Yue's shock.
Looking at Tang Lian Yue's dumbstruck appearance.
Li Ke said,
"Sword God, Old Huang, follow me to see who has the guts to kill me!”
After he finished speaking, Li Ke lowered his head and looked at Tang Lian Yue playfully, saying,
"As for you, you can see how Dark River and the others died.”
