Chapter 843

That is simply impossible. Now that the assassin has already alarmed the Chuan Kingdom, if he wants to sneak into the palace, he will undoubtedly fall into a trap. Not to mention how many Chuan Kingdom spiritual martial arts masters there are in the palace, just the two people he brought with him, Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, are enough to take his life.

He thought so in his heart, but Tang Yin didn't say it. He pondered for a moment and said with a worried look: "That is... unknown!"

Xiao Xuan was even more uncertain when he heard this. His face was gloomy, and he said to the guard in a deep voice: "Immediately summon Generals Guan Ning and Yu Qing to see me! Go!"

Guan Ning is the doctor of Chuan Kingdom, and Yu Qing is the lieutenant. These two, one is responsible for the safety of the palace, and the other is responsible for the security of the capital.

The guard quickly intervened and said, "It's TXT download! Your Majesty!"

Xiao Xuan summoned Guan Ning and Yu Qing, and ordered the former to strengthen the guard of the palace, especially to be wary of the infiltration of dark spiritual practitioners. In addition, he ordered Yu Qing to search the entire city for the murderer who killed Wu Cong, Madam Zhirong, and Rong Ji, and limited him to find the assassin's trace within three days.

After he finished explaining everything, Guan Ning and Yu Qing both left, but Xiao Xuan still felt uneasy. Before he found the dark inner sect spiritual practitioner, it was as if there was a sharp blade hanging over his head, swinging back and forth, and it might fall and stab him to death at any time.

Xiao Xuan sat in the center of the hall and smiled helplessly at Tang Yin, who was standing beside him: "Guang Xuanling first sent someone to lurk around me, and when the matter was exposed, he sent someone to kill the spy. He was really cruel and ruthless, and he didn't take me and Chuanguo seriously at all!"

Tang Yin smiled indifferently and said: "This is also Guang Xuanling's usual style of doing things. He never leaves any flaws or excuses for others, so he is safe and sound until now, and is still sitting in the holy king of Shenchi!"

Xiao Xuan nodded, Guang Xuanling is really powerful! He asked: "Then... where will the assassin hide? He must not have left Zhaoyang yet, brother, where do you think he will hide in Zhaoyang?"

Hasn't left yet? Tang Yin didn't think so. Since the mission has been completed, it is estimated that the man has already run away. How could he risk staying in Zhaoyang? Unless he has another mission. He shook his head and said: "God knows."

Zhaoyang, outer city, land temple in the south city

This land temple is located in the southern suburbs of the outer city. It has been abandoned for a long time. The temple is full of dead grass inside and outside. The doors and windows have long been rotten. Even the remaining ruins look shaky.

The statue enshrined in the land temple is still intact, but the original color can no longer be seen. The whole body is gray and there are many spider webs hanging on it.

Late at night, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty land temple. He came silently and in the dark, like a ghost.

He stood in the land temple and kept looking around. While he was watching, a person walked out from behind the statue, a woman.

"Why are you here so late? I have been waiting for you here for almost half an hour." The woman walked around the statue and came to the black shadow, then turned around, took out the fire starter, and lit the small half candle on the shrine.

"There are soldiers setting up checkpoints and patrolling in the streets and alleys of the city, so it took a while." The black shadow looked at her back and whispered.

The woman picked up the candlestick, turned around, and revealed a beautiful face. She asked: "You have already killed Madam Zhirong and Rong Ji, why are you still staying in Zhaoyang?"

The black shadow shook his head slowly and said: "My mission is not yet completed."

"The Holy King only asked you to kill two people!"

"But Rong Ji is not one of them." The black shadow sighed and said: "She couldn't stand the torture of the Sichuan people, so she begged me to kill her."

The woman was stunned, and then asked carefully: "Then... who is the other person that the Holy King wants you to kill? Is it the King of Wind?"

The black shadow shook his head again and said: "It's Xiao Xiang!"

"Princess Hongxiu?" The woman's body shook suddenly, and she said in surprise: "Why? Why does the Holy King want to kill Princess Hongxiu?"

The black shadow said expressionlessly "The Holy King said that the health of the Chuan King has long been worse than before, and Xiao Xiang is the most likely person to inherit the throne of Chuan State. The Holy King does not want the future Chuan King to be a woman."

The woman lowered her head and was silent for a long time. After a while, she asked, "You... plan to sneak into the palace?"

The black shadow asked back, "Is there any other way to get close to Xiao Xiang?"

"You are looking for death!" The woman said anxiously, "The Chuan Palace is already heavily guarded. Now you have alarmed Chuan State. How can the Chuan King not be on guard? If you go, you will die!"

"You should know that the Holy King has an order, and I cannot disobey it!"

"Even if it means losing my life?"

"Yes!" The man in black agreed straightforwardly.

"But do you know that the Holy King is..." At this point, the woman suddenly stopped and looked at him with complicated eyes.

The man in black raised his head, which had been hanging down, and looked at the woman in confusion, asking, "What is it?"

"It's to let you die!" The woman made up her mind, took two steps forward, approached the man in black, and said seriously, "Do you know why the Holy King sent me here?"

"Aren't you here to pick me up?"

"No!" The woman shook her head and said, "The Holy King said that if you fall into the hands of the Sichuan people, I will find an opportunity to get rid of you!"

The black-clothed man's body trembled obviously, his eyes stared at her, and his face changed. After an unknown amount of time, he shook his head repeatedly, his low voice unconsciously became high-pitched, and said: "Impossible! The Holy King would never do this!"

"Do you think I would lie to you?"

"This... there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? Yes, there is a misunderstanding. You have misunderstood the Holy King's thoughts about you from the beginning to the end. You think the Holy King trusts you and values ​​you, but you are wrong." The woman sneered: "Do you know what the Holy King said to me?"

The black-clothed man looked at the woman with a dull look, and could not react for a long time.

The woman continued: "The Holy King said that the dark inner sect cultivators must not be trusted!"

Hearing this, the black-clothed man's head buzzed, as if he was hit by a club without any defense. His body swayed, his legs weakened, and he took a step back involuntarily, shaking his head and saying, "Impossible, this is impossible..."

"You know, I have never lied to you, and... I don't have the courage to slander the Holy King."

The woman sighed, walked up to him, moved and held his hand, and said softly: "Ye, let's go, leave here, leave the God Pond, and leave the Holy King, to a place where no one can find us, only you and me!"

The man in black seemed not to hear her words. He shook off her hand, swayed and stepped back a few steps, and suddenly laughed with his face up, laughing wildly and saying, "It's absolutely unbelievable, haha, it's absolutely unbelievable, hahaha, since you don't believe me, why did you cultivate me? At the beginning... those hundreds of brothers died because of the backlash of the dark fire, and only I survived, and now you say I am absolutely unbelievable, haha, Yue'er, don't you think this is too ridiculous! Haha——"

The tears of the man in black were already flowing down during the wild laughter.

The woman quickly stepped forward, hugged him involuntarily, and called out in a trembling voice: "Ye..." As she called out, her tears also fell.

She knew how important the Holy King was in his heart and how high his status was. He had always regarded the Holy King not only as his master, but also as his only relative. But now, all of this was broken. For the Holy King, he could risk being devoured by the dark fire and become a dark inner sect spiritualist. For the Holy King, he could kill people against his conscience and do all kinds of shady things. But in the end, he only got a sentence from the Holy King: "Don't trust me." The pain in his heart can be imagined.

Looking at him laughing and crying, she felt distressed from the bottom of her heart, and hugged him tighter.

Feeling the warmth on his chest, he suddenly woke up, and looked down. It turned out that the woman's tears had soaked a large area of ​​his clothes. He finally stopped laughing, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "How could you treat me like this?!"

"Ye, let's go!" The woman wiped the tears from her face and said with a sob.

"Leave? Where can we go?" The man in black felt hopeless at this time. He took a deep breath and said, "The people of Feng hate me, the people of Chuan hate me, and the Saint King will not let me go. Where else can I go?"

The woman frowned, her eyes rolled, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind. She said hurriedly, "You can go to Feng Country and seek the protection of King Feng! Most of those who escaped from the God Pond fled to Feng Country, and King Feng also took them in. At the beginning, you chased Elder Huangfu and Elder Jin just to follow orders. I believe that King Feng will not blame you. Besides, you and King Feng are both dark inner sect practitioners. King Feng will definitely use you..."

Before she finished speaking, the man in black shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It is precisely because I am a dark inner sect practitioner that King Feng will never take me in. Instead, he will kill me." Seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled bitterly and said, "Have you ever heard that a mountain can accommodate two tigers?"

The woman was silent. What he said was not unreasonable. She was silent for a while, then asked, "Ye, what are you going to do?"

The man in black smiled bitterly and said, "Go and complete the task I haven't completed yet. This is also the last thing I will do for the Holy King."

"But you will die if you do this!"

"It doesn't matter anymore..." He has now lost the will to continue living.

Seeing that he was desperate at this moment, the woman trembled and said, "Ye, at least you still have me."

The man in black looked down at her, his eyes revealing pain and helplessness.

They simply have nowhere to escape? The world today is the world of Fengchuan and the two countries, and he can't stay in either of these two countries. Besides, the Holy King has countless spies, densely covering the ends of the earth. Where can he hide?

Take her away, and the final outcome of the two will only be death. Instead of that, it is better for him to make the sacrifice alone. In this way, at least she will not be implicated and can still live.
