Chapter 4: Burning Flames, Mysterious Sword Patterns

Previous Chapter

At dusk, the burning clouds in the sky appear endlessly, and the sunset is like a beautiful and flawless ribbon, surrounding the entire sky.

On the bustling avenue, in front of the gate of Tianxuan City, Yejue squinted slightly at the dilapidated carriage that was going away, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Tianxuan City.

The territory of the Tianxuan Empire is boundless and vast, and Tianxuan City, as the national capital, has a great reputation even if it is placed in the entire Xuan Domain.

Outside the city of Tianxuan City, Yejue's body stood straight, looking at this ancient city gate that he had entered and exited many times before, his eyes were a little distracted.

His heart was heavy, unusually heavy.

Standing in front of the gate of Tianxuan City at this moment, his whole heart was even heavier to the extreme.

From his birth to the present, for a full eighteen years, he has been busy studying and practicing hard every day, rarely involved in worldly matters, and has never offended anyone.

Standing quietly for a long time, Yejue took a deep breath, and finally no longer hesitated, and walked straight to the gate of Tianxuan City with light and vigorous steps, and his emaciated body pulled out a long figure under the light of the setting sun.

It looks like a depression.

Shout!

Soon after Nightlord left, a gust of wind swept by, and then a man wearing a hat and a coarse linen robe suddenly swept out of the east and stood where Nightlord had been before.

"Cut away the filth of the world, and laugh at the world... It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, even if you're from the night family in Tianxuan City. ”

"Boy, if you can really do what you say, we may have a chance to meet again, if not, it is also the will of God, after you die, I will take back the Star Order..."

"Philistine, you are not qualified to have it. ”

"Little one, I hope you succeed..."

After speaking, the man raised his head, revealing half of his bearded cheeks, smiled slightly, did not alarm anyone, his body rose from the ground, turned into a blast, and disappeared without a trace.

No one knows where they went.

...

Tianxuan City.

The breeze is rippling, a young man in a brocade robe, the wind god is handsome, the jade tree is in the wind, but with a trace of sorrow, the light robe is slowly belted, and he walks slowly from outside the city.

The young man had just appeared, and suddenly, the area exploded instantly, and a pair of eyes like copper bells stared at him blankly, shocked, frightened, and delighted.

"Childe. ”

Before Yejue could come back to his senses, a young soldier wearing a battle robe and a golden sword on his left waist hurriedly ran over, looking at Yejue with joy and excitement.

"Childe, you are finally back, and when I heard the news of your assassination outside, the old marshal was going crazy. ”

Behind him, there were four rows of guards in black armor, and there were no less than a hundred people.

These people have sharp eyes, like eagles and falcons, and their momentum is terrifying, which is the killing spirit cultivated in the battlefield all year round.

"Grandpa knows about my assassination outside?" the Nightlord looked at the man, frowning slightly.

"The news came from Shangguan Gongzi yesterday, he said that you went out of the city to hunt, and you were ambushed as soon as you dispersed, and all the guards of the night family were killed, and you also lost your trace, and your life and death are uncertain. ”

The young soldier hurriedly said: "Hearing this news, the old marshal of the night immediately blocked the entire Tianxuan City, and a large number of guards went out to find the traces of the son, while the rest stayed in the city to search and wait for the return of the son. ”

"Fortunately, the prince came back safe and sound, General Ye sacrificed his life for the country in his youth, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can you live if you leave the old marshal alone..."

Nightlord's brows tightened, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

A word woke up the dreamer, and at this moment, he finally understood how big a conspiracy was behind this assassination.

As we all know, the Ye family is powerful, Ye Tianhan has been brave and good at fighting all his life, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, and he has made countless contributions to the empire, and even the monarch of the Tianxuan Empire has to give him three points of face.

However, it is such a military god who is admired by everyone, but under him is a withered talent, leaving only a single seedling of Yejue.

Yejue can be said to be the only hope to support the Ye family in the future, but if he dies by accident, it means that the old man will be left alone to support the huge Ye family.

But with the age of the old man, the time limit may come at any time, and at that time, the huge family business will be inherited, and the entire Ye family will become a plate of scattered sand, and thus fall apart.

The Night Family will also be truly removed from the Tianxuan Empire.

Thinking of this, Yejue was covered in a cold sweat, and suddenly fell down.

The target of the group of men in black was not him, but the entire Nightlord. Assassinating him was the first step in destroying the Night Family.

Perhaps, as early as a few years ago, those people had this plan, and even his father's death was full of strangeness.

"I see, my night family protects the family and defends the country, forgetting life and death, and is selfless, just because the family is powerful, so you want the night family to be ruined..."

The suspicion in his heart almost drove him crazy.

The protector of the army, a generation of generals, actually because of his dazzling achievements, aroused the covetousness of people with intentions, and even murderous thoughts.

"Go home!"

Night Lord waved his sleeves and resolutely turned around.

Taking advantage of the night, Yejue walked on the way back to Yefu, feeling depressed, for some reason, his heart would tremble gently with every step he took in his steps.

If his guess is correct, the assassination three days ago is just the beginning, and those people will definitely not give up, and they will definitely make a comeback.

From now on, his life will no longer be peaceful.

What is the explanation of this situation?

Nightlord felt low and moved forward with heavy steps.

He wasn't afraid.

The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, and if you die, what is there to be afraid of?

What Yejue is worried about is that if those people behind this plan are really the ones behind it, he may make the entire Night Family the target of public criticism if he goes back this time.

No matter how strong the Ye family is, no matter how high his grandfather's prestige is, he will definitely not be able to stop the suppression of several major families combined.

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.

That was not the situation he wanted to see.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, no matter what conspiracy you have, my Night Lord will fight you to the end, and those who offend my Night Family..."

"Die!"

With a muttering voice, but his tone was full of boundless killing intent, Nightlord retracted his mind, and everyone didn't know it, and at this moment, a crazy idea suddenly took root in his mind.

Nothing to say all the way.

Guarded by nearly a hundred Night Family soldiers, Yejue was not disturbed by anyone, and came to the door of Yefu unhindered.

Looking up, looking at the gate of the night house with a stupid gaze, the night lord sighed again in his heart, and was just about to step in.

Suddenly there was a feeling of dizziness in my head.

"What's wrong?" Nightlord was shocked, thinking that it was caused by the over-tension and exhaustion of the past few days, and before he could think about it, the dizziness suddenly increased.

At the same time, a burning sensation that was absolutely unbearable for ordinary people came from his arm, and Nightlord snorted in his throat, and he couldn't help but have the urge to look up to the sky and scream.

"What's going on?"

The dizziness in his brain grew stronger and stronger, and the sharp pain in his left arm burned like a flame, making his eyes scarlet.

"Uh-huh..."

Night Lord held back the dizziness, flicked up his sleeves with difficulty, and just before he was about to pass out, he finally saw a black sword pattern about three inches long on the wrist of his left arm, faintly emerging from his skin.
