The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, and the ancient temple is when the jackdaw is crying.

It was a late night when there was only about a week left before the martial arts exam.

A black shadow appeared in the quiet sky above the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Under the silver glow of the moonlight, this black shadow seemed to draw a vague afterimage in the sky, if it weren't for the bright starry sky, although it was late at night, the visibility was still not low, I am afraid that even the afterimage would not be left.

Along the roofs of the houses in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they moved rapidly under the night sky.

Although the speed was almost beyond the limit of what ordinary people's eyes could capture, no breath escaped from this figure.

Whether it is the aura that you should have, or the vitality that needs to be mobilized by using the secret technique of light body, it is strictly confined to the surface of the body, so as not to alarm any strong person in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Compared with the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty naturally has its own drunken side.

Even compared with the prosperity in the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, the aristocratic area in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty is even more extravagant and **.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is a very common thing for the privileged class of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After all, in their eyes, civilians and slaves are not much different, they are the objects of their enslavement and exploitation, and they are the basis for them to maintain their privileged rule and extravagant life.

In this regard, the Daqian Dynasty is obviously fundamentally different from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The black shadow seemed to know quite well the terrain in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and carefully avoided those places that were still brightly lit despite the late night, and went deep into the center of the imperial capital, most of the powerful settlements, and then the black shadow changed his high and high movements, and his body fell to the street that had been curfew, stepping on broken steps without any sound, and continued to move forward rapidly.

On the way, they encountered two groups of city guards patrolling the night, but because the speed of the black shadow was too fast, and it seemed to be able to merge with the surrounding heaven and earth, although the distance between the position and the city guard was not too far, none of the city guards noticed the existence of the black shadow.

Like a gust of wind, the black shadow finally came to the foot of the imperial city in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Squinting his eyes and looking up at the starry sky, the black shadow removed his hood, revealing a handsome face, reflected in the moonlight.

It was Xia Fan who had already broken through to the realm of the Nine Rank Martial Sect.

During the day today, the secret spies of the Daqian Dynasty lurking in the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty informed Xia Fan of a piece of news in a very covert way.

The dynasty is ready, the elite cavalry of the Royal Forest Army will be led by the main cadre of the Royal Forest Army, Conglong, from the entire Royal Forest Army, including everyone including the Imperial City Guards, to select the most elite 10,000 people, supplemented by hundreds of teachers from the three major academies under the control of Yu Zhen, who are also at the lowest level of the Martial King, to fight against the Western Zhou without declaring war!

This is a top-secret message, even the secret spy who delivered the message did not know the content of this information at all, all the information was passed to Xia Fan's hands, and after being browsed by Xia Fan, it was all destroyed, without any traces left.

Calculating the time, these two days should be the days when this elite army of the Daqian Dynasty launched a surprise attack.

The elite of the 10,000 elites selected from the Imperial Forest Army and the Imperial City Guards, even the most ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that they must have the level of a martial artist!

The 10,000 martial artists launched an attack completely in the form of an army, and the combined force that could be formed would be beyond the ordinary horror.

At least even a strong person at the supreme level of the martial arts, under the charge of this kind of army group, will become a fragile mosquito, and once it falls into the military formation, it is even difficult to set off a large wave.

As for those centurions and thousands, they basically have to have the realm of the martial arts level, plus the hundreds of teachers above the martial king level who were transferred from the three major academies, and the leader is beyond the supreme level of martial arts, which should be said to be the aftershock of the first master of the current Daqian Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that the entire Daqian Dynasty attached great importance to this raid.

In fact, this operation, named 'Lightning', will indeed be related to whether the Daqian Dynasty can truly break through the joint blockade of the surrounding seven countries.

If the action can be successful, for the Daqian Dynasty, it will achieve a strategic and absolute victory, and by means of a surprise attack on the remnants of the imperial capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it will completely turn the passive into the active, and gradually encroach on all the surrounding seven countries.

But again, if the operation fails...... With one blow of vigor, then decline, and three exhaustions, the ambition of the Daqian Dynasty to conquer the entire southern region will also be severely traumatized.

Strictly speaking, this was a plan of action that required great risk, and if the military of the Daqian Dynasty was given enough time, then the military would certainly be able to formulate a more secure offensive plan.

It's just that compared to the lightning raid, that kind of plan will inevitably last for a long time, and what needs to be relied on in the end is the strong accumulation of the Daqian Dynasty over the years, with absolute national strength, to subdue the surrounding seven countries.

Whether it is Xia Fan or Qianguangyuan, they obviously don't want to delay time like this.

However, these are all expected things, and what really caught Xia Fan's attention in the intelligence is that the fifty-eight blood servants who traveled abroad in the Xia family have not left the capital too far for the time being, so at Xia Ya's initiative, they have all been incorporated into the army.

It's just that these fifty-eight blood servants do not act with the large army, but as scouts, they always roam around the large army, responsible for cleaning up some people who may leak the whereabouts of the large army in advance.

Especially some of the local powerhouses in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so that the academy teachers led by Yu Zhen would not be too tired on the way, so that they could spend all their energy on the siege.

Xia Fan also agrees with this.

Despite the dangers of the battlefield, this experience will definitely have a very positive effect on the growth of the Blood Servants.

Only when they are accustomed to life and death and are accustomed to life and death can these blood servants of the family really grow up and truly take charge of themselves.

In his mind, he recalled the news he had read today, Xia Fan stood under this palace city, the aura of the whole person was no different from the palace wall beside him, and the 'absolute qi' was completely opened, and after making sure that no one had noticed this, he took out all the three suit components that he had obtained from the space ring!
