Chapter 148: The Shadow Guard
Tianyun City in the middle of the Nanli Empire, a county town close to the capital of the Nanli Empire, is extremely prosperous and has a population of more than one million.
Xue Qinghan looked at the towering city gate and raised his eyebrows, they originally planned to leave the Nanli Empire here, but they got the news of the bloody accident, so they rushed here.
As far as Xue Qinghan knows, the blood demon was born in the Cao family, the oldest demon family in Tianyun City, but later some changes occurred, the Cao family was wiped out, the Cao family was full of doors, in addition to the blood demon all died, and his brothers and sisters were tortured to death For the blood demon, it is not a common enemy.
Among the forces that started against the Cao family, the Xiao family was the most hard-working party and the most cruel party, and most of the descendants of the Cao family died in the hands of the Xiao family.
What's even more troublesome now is that the Xiao family used to be an extremely powerful family, otherwise they wouldn't dare to make a move against the Cao family, and now the Xiao family's power has made great progress, and it is already the number one family in Tianyun City.
Not only that, the head of the Xiao family is still the city lord of Cloud City today, controlling the army of Tianyun City, backed by the Nanli Empire, the Xiao family has a faint tendency to be among the big clans of the Nanli Empire, and is no longer just a big clan in a city.
"My subordinate Ying Wei Lin Yan has seen the young master. At this moment, a young man who looked extremely ordinary-looking came up to Xue Qinghan from the crowd of people, bowed slightly, and seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
"It is inconvenient to make a big salute here, and I hope that the young master will forgive his sins. ”
The young man who claimed to be Shadow Guard Lin Yan said softly, and as he spoke, a purple thunderbolt light on his palm flickered slightly, and a unique aura of torture and murder faintly permeated his body.
Heavenly Dao Recipe, that is the breath of Heavenly Dao Recipe, Xue Qinghan already knows that all the members of the Shadow Guard are practicing the secret of this Heavenly Dao Sect, Heavenly Dao Recipe. Xue Qianren, who used to be a core disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, didn't know how to break the ban planted by the Heavenly Dao Sect in his divine soul, and passed on the Heavenly Dao Recipe, which was the core scripture of the Heavenly Dao Sect, to cultivate the shadow guard.
Xue Qinghan's eyes were full of stars, and he looked at the young man in front of him, the man was wearing an ordinary black robe, his appearance was ordinary, he looked like he was only twenty-five or sixteen, and his breath was restrained, but Xue Qinghan could faintly perceive this person's cultivation realm, compared to the shadow guard who shot in the deserted city, his strength was much weaker, and it should only be about the Four Heavens of the One Realm.
Xue Qinghan frowned slightly, and asked, "You are the only one who came?"
A person who is no more than a person who returns to the Four Heavens of the One Realm is really chicken for the current Xue Qinghan, and it is almost the same as a miscellaneous person, and it is not very useful at all. After all, Mo Yu is the existence of the Five Heavens of the One Realm, and its combat power far exceeds that of the Five Heavens of the One Realm. Not to mention that the Xiao family they may face on this trip is a powerhouse in the Dao Palace Realm, and a subordinate of the Unified Realm is really not enough to see.
Lin Yan was stunned, then seemed to understand something, his face showed a little embarrassment, and said: "Don't worry about the young master, the subordinates are just here to answer the young master, and everyone else is waiting for the young master to come in one place, after all, it can't be too much."
Too eye-catching. ”
"Young master, do you want to go down with your subordinates to see the others now?" Lin Yan asked.
"Well, let's go now, I still have a lot to know, let's talk about it when I meet the others. Xue Qinghan groaned slightly, nodded and said.
"Young master, please come with me. Lin Yan said, and then walked forward to lead the way, but instead of going to Tianyun City, he went in the direction of the outside of the city.
"Why aren't you waiting in the city, where are you going?" Mo Yu stood beside Xue Qinghan, watching Lin Yan walk in the direction of the outside of the city, and asked.
"Xiao Xuan, the head of the Xiao family, is the city lord of Tianyun City, it can be said that Tianyun City is the territory of the Xiao family, and there are many eyes and ears in the city, which will inevitably attract people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble, so we have established a stronghold outside the city. Lin Yan replied back.
"Let's go. Xue Qinghan spoke, and Wu'er followed behind her with a jump, Mo Yu's eyes flashed, and she followed.
"How did you find out that you found us in the first place?" the group walked into a mountain forest, and Xue Qinghan suddenly asked.
"Don't you know, young master?" Lin Yan paused slightly, and continued to speak, "From the moment the young master took over the shadow guard, the brothers have all seen the portrait of the young master, so everyone knows the young master. ”
"Oh, and no one has ever told me about it. Xue Qinghan gritted his teeth and said with some unhappiness. I don't even know how many people there are, let alone who the shadow guards are? Is this considered to be taking over the shadow guards? Who has ever seen a boss do this?
"By the way, how many of you shadow guards are there?"
"Didn't the lord tell the young master? The subordinates can't talk much, and the subordinates really don't know. Lin Yan replied.
Xue Qinghan sighed, didn't ask anything anymore, and followed behind him.
Half an hour later, Xue Qinghan and the three of them followed Lin Yan to a valley, this valley was some distance away from Tianyun City, located in the depths of the mountain range outside Tianyun City, although it was not a deserted place, but there were really few villages in sight.
"Young master, the front is here, they are all waiting for the young master to arrive, please let the young master go in with his subordinates. Lin Yan said.
The valley is not big, it seems very quiet, and you can vaguely see a few small cabins located in the depths of the valley, but there is a bit of seclusion. However, the valley is ordinary, and it is not a place of abundant aura. And in front of those small wooden houses, there are still a few vegetable gardens.
Xue Qinghan nodded, glanced at Mo Yu, and then stepped forward.
Seeing that he had reached the entrance of the valley, Lin Yan was about to turn around and say something, but at this moment, a trace of dangerous aura struck, which made him feel shocked, and the aura on his body was about to burst out, the light of thunder flickered, and his body wanted to dodge to the side.
But it was too late, and before Lin Yan could make too many movements, a dagger with black light suddenly appeared from his shadow and was nailed directly into his head from behind, with terrifying power
It exploded in an instant, shattering his soul in one shine.
A blank look flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was suddenly attacked, and he still killed him with one blow without sparing. Turning his head hard, the young man in white had a calm face, and his eyes were as deep as a river of snow, with a somewhat hazy meaning, which made people look unreal. But being stared at by those eyes, Lin Yan suddenly felt that he had been completely seen through.
Lin Yan's lips paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the blood kept flowing out of his mouth, making him speechless. His gaze gradually lost focus, and then his vision fell into darkness completely, but there was a trace of a strange smile on Lin Yan's face, which seemed a little hideous.
Mo Yu's figure condensed from the faint shadow, put away the dagger, and his eyes swept around, with a bit of solemnity.
"Ah~Brother Qinghan, this~" Wu'er was startled by the sudden change, and exclaimed in surprise.
Xue Qinghan's palm moved slightly, and a purple jade plate flew out of Lin Yan's arms and fell into Xue Qinghan's hand, with the word "shadow" engraved on the top, the word "Lin Yan" engraved on the back, and a small number "nine" in front of "Lin Yan". There was a faint power of thunder on the jade plate, and it was filled with a familiar atmosphere.
Xue Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the jade card in his hand, his face became a little cold, and there was a faint trace of sword intent on his body.
"Brother Qinghan, what's going on?" Wu'er raised her head slightly and looked at Xue Qinghan and said.
Xue Qinghan's brows furrowed slightly, and her voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "You can call me brother, but don't add a name in front of it, understand?"
"Why? Why can you call my brother but not let me call Brother Qinghan? Wu'er pouted her mouth and said a little aggrieved.
Xue Qinghan looked at the valley and did not answer, a little light flashed in his eyes.
"Because, it's not you who want to be called this by a stunted little girl like you, but someone else, this title is not suitable for a yellow-haired girl like you, understand?" Mo Yu's figure appeared next to Xue Qinghan, and he said to Wu'er with a little schadenfreude in his smile.
Wu'er snorted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Mo Yu with her eyes, and muttered: "There are other people, that is, Aunt Mo Yu, you can't either?" Also, it's not stunted, Wu'er is just young, and she will definitely be older than Aunt Mo Yu in a few years." ”
"Little girl, who do you call Auntie?" Mo Yu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his face was ugly.
"Mo Yu, be careful, if the situation is not good, you can quickly take Wu'er away. Xue Qinghan said at this time.
Although Lin Yan didn't say anything before he died, he read some words from his mouth shape Xue Qinghan: Xue Qinghan, adults have been waiting for you for a long time.
With the breath of the Heavenly Dao Recipe on his body, he even held the identity token of the shadow guard, but he attracted himself here, who is the adult in his mouth? Xue Qinghan's eyes were cold.
