Patrolling on the city wall, the tiger fang generals of Youzhou Army didn't know that just now, more than twenty people had crossed the city wall and entered Border Town.
In an alley a few hundred meters away from the General's Mansion, more than twenty men and women in black night-traveling clothes had gathered.
The person in the lead, from the grey-white hair that was revealed under the black veil, could tell that he was not young.
In this world, martial arts flourished.
A successful cultivator's lifespan would increase greatly. An ordinary Bright Jing warrior could live up to a hundred years old at most, while an Internal Jing warrior could live up to two hundred years old.
It was normal to live for 300 years after reaching the HuaJin stage.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you didn't die in a fight.
Those spirit cultivators had even longer lifespans.
It was just that before breaking through a realm, there would be three calamities and nine difficulties accompanying them. It was much more difficult than martial arts cultivation. It also had high requirements for comprehension and aptitude.
Perhaps it was because of this that the heavens and earth were fair and gave them a longer life.
This old man was obviously a martial arts expert, but his hair was already gray. It was obvious that he had a long life. In fact, compared to ordinary people, he could be considered the ancestor of many people.
"After entering, head straight for the target. Remember, our mission is to kill the Marquis of Zhenbei and the high-ranking officers in the army. But we can't be surrounded by the army."
"Therefore, we have to end this quickly!”
"Yes, sir!" The rest of the people responded in a low voice and did not say much.
The old man looked at the heavily guarded General's Mansion and smiled coldly. He waved his hand and retreated into the darkness with his subordinates.
For these experts who were used to going high and low in Jianghu, it was not difficult for them to sneak into the General's Estate without alerting the soldiers outside.
After all, they were able to fly over the city wall that was several zhang tall, let alone this wall that was less than twenty zhang tall.
Although they had other means of protection before, this high wall was indeed very easy for them.
They landed silently. The twenty-odd people split into three teams and headed toward the brightly lit main hall of the General's Estate in the dark.
According to the information, the Northguard Marquis was resting in the main hall and did not return to the rear residence.
Through the window at the side of the main hall, the leading elder saw Qi Lun sitting on the main seat, resting with his hand on his forehead. There were only 20 or so personal guards in the main hall.
He retracted his gaze and did not dare to look any further, afraid that the other party would discover him in advance.
The old man who had retreated waved his hand, and more than 20 people drew their weapons. They broke through the doors and windows and rushed into the hall.
" Who is it?!"
"Assassins!"
The expressions of the guards in the hall changed. They immediately formed a battle formation and protected Qi Lun in the middle. Their sabers were already unsheathed.
The loud roars of the bodyguards would definitely alarm the guards in the manor.
The assassin who entered the main hall did not say much. The old man directly ordered, Kill!
The twenty assassins didn't delay and charged at the bodyguards with sharp blades in their hands.
"Humph! You guys are really bold to come.”
Qi Lun, who was seated at the head of the table, was in high spirits. He did not look tired at all. He held the Thousand Refined Saber in his hand and sneered at the assassins.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, torches were erected outside the main hall. Hundreds of soldiers unsheathed their sabers and pointed their spears forward. In the main hall, behind Qi Lun, dozens of people dressed in dark red robes with cloud patterns and armed with weapons rushed out. Leading them were the two armored generals beside Qi Lun.
The sudden change shocked the assassin.
How could they not know that they had been tricked? Qilun was obviously waiting for them.
The person who appeared next to Qi Lun, dressed in a dark red embroidered robe with cloud patterns, and holding a saber, was the person from the Demon Subduing Division who made the martial world pale.
After the demon plague was basically pacified, the Demon Subduing Division took on the responsibility of monitoring the world, especially the sects in the martial world.
The words " you demons and evil people " made countless Jianghu experts pale, let alone a group of assassins like them.
"Hehe, everyone, don't tell me you think that your actions are so secretive that my Demon Subduing Division can't find out? Scum of the White Lotus Society?"
He was wearing a dark red robe with cloud patterns, and there was a person on the Divine Throne wearing a black robe with bright silver cloud patterns.
This person was the Thousand Households of the Demon Suppressing Department, who was in charge of investigating evil demons in Youzhou.
Those in dark red robes with cloud patterns were the subordinates of the Thousand Households and the experts from the Head Office.
Whether it was the Demon Suppressing Division, the Armory Division, or even the Embroidered Guards, they all had the responsibility of collecting intelligence and monitoring the world.
The strange movement of the Barbarian Wolf Army this time was the information given by the hidden forces under the Xiuyi Guards.
After the fall of North Wind City and the deaths of 3,000 soldiers, no news of it was spread. Naturally, people noticed it.
After some investigation, a strategist who had appeared beside Prince Xian of the Left of the Barbarian Wolves, the guy called " Mister ", naturally surfaced.
Combined with the traces in North Wind City.
The Demon Subduing Division, who was good at dealing with people in the martial world, quickly came to a conclusion. It was their old rival, the White Lotus Society.
The White Lotus Society was not some Bodhisattva who saved people in distress.
It was an organization of human warriors who worshipped the White Lotus Great Demon and used the White Lotus Great Demon of the Hengduan Mountains as their totem to worship.
They lurked in the dark, assassinating, pillaging, trafficking people, and collecting young boys and girls to cultivate evil techniques.
It could be said that they were scum of the human race and lackeys of the demon race.
However, they were not ashamed of it. They thought that they had obtained the spiritual herbs and evil techniques bestowed by Great Demon White Lotus and could live forever like demons.
It could be said that these human traitors who worked for demons in human skin, killed their own kind, and caused chaos to the common people were the greatest enemies of the entire Demon Suppressing Department.
"Damn it, it's the people of the Demon Subduing Division!" The assassins who had been surrounded looked at the thousand-man and their eyes revealed a fierce light as they cried out in shock.
"Hehe, you are all monsters and beasts. I can smell the stench on your bodies from afar, but you still want to cause trouble.”
"Kill him! Let them all die here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expert from the Monster Subduing Division shouted and rushed forward to stand with the others.
However, the three leading assassins did not move, and no experts from the Demon Subduing Division came to find them.
"Lord Marquis." The mighty Thousand Households turned around and bowed to the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"Go. These guys shouldn't exist in this world.”
"Here!"
After Qilun finished speaking, the two old generals bowed and accepted the order. They unsheathed their sabers and charged at the two leading assassins.
As for the thousand-man, he naturally went to find another person.
These three assassins were all neutralizing Jin experts.
Only the one that the Thousand Households found was someone who had reached HuaJin. The other two were old monsters who had entered HuaJin for many years.
However, the two of them couldn't gain an advantage against the two old generals beside Zhenbei Marquis.
The battle began. Not long after, the three of them left the main hall and began fighting in the open space outside. The surrounding roofs and ground were already surrounded by a dense army.
Among them were several teams of Monster-subduing Commanders wearing uniforms and gauze hats, holding specially made crossbows.
Pfft, ah!
Although these demons had benefited from the big demons, they were not real demons. Even if they were real demons, there were ways to deal with them.
For example, the weapons used by the Monster-Subduing Division were all added with special metal minerals, which had a destructive and suppressive effect on demonic powers.
It was still fine if they fought alone, but when faced with a group of experts who were specially mobilized, these demons were not their match at all.
Fifteen minutes later, the rest of the assassins were all killed. Only the three leaders were able to hold on.
The three of them felt their hearts bleed when their subordinates were killed, but they knew that they could not stay here for long.
After exchanging a glance, the three of them used all their strength to block the two old generals and the thousand-man. They followed the force and retreated. Then, they stepped on the ground, wanting to escape.
As long as they escaped the encirclement of the army, with their strength, no one could stop them if they wanted to escape.
