Ling Yun, who had once again entered a state of retreat and cultivation in the forest, had no idea that his family was about to face the greatest danger since its establishment.

However, even if he knew, he might not rush to rescue the so-called family in the first place.

Seventeen sword masters, including the chief swordsman of the Dezhi Empire, such a luxurious and huge lineup came to the Purple Cloud Empire, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Purple Cloud Empire did not dare to slack off easily.

However, seeing that the other party is menacing, it is obvious that the person who came is not good, how dare the people of the Purple Cloud Empire look at it easily?

The eight major sword masters in China were all recruited as soon as possible, and not only that, but even several free sword masters who had not been put into the royal service were also moved by His Majesty the Emperor, and Xiao Zhiyi was invited to come over and act as a façade.

The most elite Praetorian Guards in the entire Purple Cloud Empire have entered a state of readiness, and all kinds of arrows, crossbows, and soldiers are all highly equipped, as if facing a great enemy.

When those seventeen sword masters arrived at the Purple Cloud Empire, they actually caused the entire capital to be covered in storms, as if a great war was coming.

Seventeen swordsmen gathered together to achieve such an effect, forcing the capital of an empire to be on full alert, which shows the influence of swordsmen-level masters on the situation in this continent.

More than a dozen swordsmen walked on the way to the Purple Cloud Palace, feeling the extremely heavy atmosphere of war in the entire city along the way, and couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.

Although the official swordsman is strong enough to be able to fight a thousand enemies, but that refers to a head-to-head confrontation, not including cold arrows and bows and crossbows hidden in the shadows, if it is really a battle without compromising means, it would be good for the seventeen of them, under the strangulation of the 50,000 troops of the royal guards, to escape five or six people. Moreover, among the five or six people, the two third-order sword masters definitely accounted for two places.

Thinking of this, more than a dozen people felt uneasy in their hearts again.

Rael Swordsman took everyone's reaction in his eyes, and scolded a few times in his heart: "Waste, a small Purple Cloud Empire, actually making you afraid of being like this, it is simply a shame for our Dezhi Empire." ”

After a while, everyone arrived at a side hall of the palace, where more than four hundred golden guards, all composed of high-level swordsmen, and eleven swordsmen that the Purple Cloud Empire could muster, all gathered in the hall, looking at the seventeen swordsmen who walked in from the outside.

The chief swordsman of the third-level civilization definitely has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with the third-level civilization emperor. Therefore, after Rael entered the side hall, he arrogantly glanced at everyone present, and snorted softly: "It seems that Your Majesty really looks up to us and puts on such a grand posture to welcome us." ”

The Emperor of the Purple Cloud Empire, Zi Hao, was himself an official swordsman, and he was full of courage, and chuckled at the mocking words of the Rael Swordsman: "Your Excellency Rael, as the chief swordsman of the Dezhi Empire, has come to my Purple Cloud Empire in person, if our Purple Cloud Empire is neglected, wouldn't it make everyone laugh." ”

"Without further ado, we came this time in the hope of seeking justice from me. ”

"We are also saddened by the death of the Rock Slasher. However, as far as I know, the Rock Slashing Swordsman died at the hands of a mysterious Free Swordsman, and it has nothing to do with my Purple Cloud Empire.

"We have already investigated clearly, and the murderer of my apprentice Rock Slashing Sword Master is Lin Cheng, the son of a marquis named Lin Yang of your Purple Cloud Empire! Otherwise, if this matter gets out, it will be a serious blow to the reputation of the Purple Cloud Empire. ”

When the Roman Swordsman returned, he had already told His Majesty Zihao the news that the Rock Slashing Swordsman might have died at the hands of Ling Yun. However, Zi Hao, who learned the news, not only did not feel troubled, but seized a glimmer of opportunity from it, a glimmer of opportunity to be friendly with the Lin family.

If their Purple Cloud Empire royal family can protect the Lin family under the pressure of seventeen swordsmen and offending the Dezhi Empire, the people of the Lin family will soar in the future, and they will definitely not forget the grace of today. Once they have a relationship with the powerful families of the sixth-level civilization, as long as they give themselves a little support, then the Purple Cloud Empire will not have to take a step to the sky? At least there is no need to look at the face of the third-level civilization Dezhi Empire.

Therefore, Rael's request was immediately rejected by Zi Hao and said, "Your Excellency Rael, where do you start with this? I, the Sword Master of the Purple Cloud Empire, Lin Cheng, is just a first-order sword master who was just promoted half a month ago, and your apprentice, Your Excellency Cho Yan, has been promoted to a second-order sword master for decades, and is known as the strongest person closest to a third-order sword master. With such a strong man, do you think that His Excellency Lin Cheng can kill him?"

"Lin Cheng is just a first-order sword master!?" Everyone including Rael was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Han Bi. After all, he was the only one who had ever seen the murderer of Slashing Rock.

Han Bi's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of an idea: "It must have been that Lord Chopping Rock thought that he was the sword master of the Purple Cloud Empire at that time, and he was defenseless, so he suddenly attacked and succeeded." ”

Roman Swordsman snorted lightly and said in a cold voice: "As a veteran swordsman who has been through a hundred battles, it is impossible for His Excellency Chopping Rock not to even have such a little vigilance. The excuse you're looking for is too clever. ”

Rael Swordsman immediately shouted angrily: "Your Excellency Roman, what do you mean by this, do you think that we are deceiving you!? You are an insult to the honor of the swordsman of our Dezhi Empire, in order to maintain the honor of our empire, I have the right to propose a duel to you!"

Although the Roman Swordsman and the Rael Swordsman are in the same third order, there are certain differences between them, and if they really fight, the Romance Swordsman will definitely be defeated in the end. Thinking of this, Zi Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency Rael has inevitably changed the topic, I don't think Your Excellency Roman has any problem of insulting the honor of your country's sword master." If you think about it, could it be that the Rock Slashing Sword Master would really not be able to resist the sneak attack of a first-order sword master? After all, the second-order sword master was already able to form a Dou Qi armor, which could not be broken without attacking with all his strength. And if he attacked with all his might, it was impossible for the Rock Slasher to be unaware, right? Could it be that in a dangerous place like the Gray Forest, the Rock Slasher didn't even have this basic vigilance?"

"Hmph, that's just our Dezhi Empire's trust in your so-called ally of the Purple Cloud Empire, who knew that you would do such a thing. Rael said, and said impatiently: "Your Majesty Zihao, for whatever reason, Your Excellency Chopping Rock died at the hands of Lin Cheng This is what the Hanbi Sword Master saw with his own eyes. If Your Majesty does not handle this matter well, you can leave this matter to us, and we will solve it ourselves. ”

When Zi Hao heard this, he immediately knew that the Rael Sword Master was determined to trouble the Lin family.

He shook his head and said resolutely, "Before the matter is clarified, it is impossible for me to agree to your rude request." ”

Rael's sword master's face suddenly turned cold: "The matter has been made clear, what else can't be said? What, could it be that Your Majesty wants to protect them?"

"If the Rock Slashing Sword Master was really killed by His Excellency Lin Cheng, I will give you an explanation, but if the first-order swordsman who has advanced to the rank of killed the quasi-third-order veteran swordsman, there are too many doubts in it, and I am afraid that no one will believe it. So, we've got to get things straight. ”

"Hahahaha, since Your Majesty is unwilling to give our Dezhi Empire justice, then we won't bother Your Majesty, let's go to Marquis Lin Yang to ask for an explanation!"

"Wait, this matter is related to our important minister, His Excellency Rael, an outsider, and I hope that he will not cross the border to manage my country's affairs. ”

Rael Sword Master was furious: "My apprentices all died at the hands of your Purple Cloud Empire Sword Master, and you still keep saying that I am an outsider, it is simply unreasonable." ”

"Before the matter is settled, please rest easy, and don't believe the one-sided words of others. ”

"One-sided words? Hanbi is my disciple grandson, how can he deceive me? You Purple Cloud Empire blindly cover up, is it really no one in the Dezhi Empire who deceived me?"

His Majesty Zi Hao's expression turned cold, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Who is making a big statement in my Purple Cloud Empire's palace? I think the one who really deceived me that no one in the Purple Cloud Empire is your Dezhi Empire!"

As the negotiations between the two sides broke down, all the sword masters of the Purple Cloud Empire showed murderous aura, stepped forward three steps one by one, and drew their swords. And the golden guards guarding the palace surrounded them one by one, encircling the [***] swordsman layer by layer. Outside the palace, a team of strong crossbowmen also rushed over, lined up in a neat team, and hundreds of powerful demon-breaking crossbows aimed at the seventeen swordsmen in the palace.

Rael Swordsman glanced at the many soldiers surrounding him and the others, and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "It seems that your Purple Cloud Empire has already planned it. ”

Zi Hao snorted lightly: "It's impossible for our Purple Cloud Empire to be bullied by others at the door, so let's be indifferent." ”

"Okay, good, good!" After the Rael Sword Master finished speaking, he suddenly showed a strange smile: "Your Purple Cloud Empire has made up your mind to shield the murderer of my disciples, and such a move is clearly a provocation to our Dezhi Empire. In this way, my arrangement is finally justified. ”

"Arrangement?" His Majesty Zi Hao instinctively felt that something was faintly wrong: "What arrangement." ”

Rael Sword Master closed his eyes slightly, and sat down peacefully surrounded by so many people.

Before Zi Hao could ask in detail, a guard suddenly ran in from outside the palace with a loud report: "Report! Your Majesty, the Dezhi Empire's Border Destruction Legion is increasing its troops by 300,000 under the banner of seeking justice for the Rock Swordsman, and is rapidly advancing towards the border of our country!"
