Chapter 575: The Ghost Lingers
readx;
In the early morning of late autumn, the rising sun casts the sun on the earth, a few faint white clouds float in the clear sky, the morning mist shrouded in the God of War Mountains quietly disperses, and the red leaves on the mountain show a charming style.

The majestic tulip castle is also bathed in the bright morning light of autumn, and the warm sun shining on the body and breathing in the cool fresh air can always make people feel happy.
But Su Huo's mood was extremely bad, his heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss, and his whole body was cold and overwhelmed by despair.
A moment ago, one of his companions, a Sky Warrior who was stronger than him, was killed on the spot by a beam of light that shot out in front of his eyes, and the death was horrible and worthless!
Su Huo definitely didn't want to follow in the footsteps of this companion, and he regretted it to the extreme, why did he take on this task of sending him to death in a daze?
He was originally a collateral descendant of the Su family in Kansa County of the Hanhai Empire, with extraordinary warrior talent, he broke through the sixth order and became a sky warrior before he was thirty years old, but because of his arrogant temper, he was not allowed to be in the family, and finally offended the patriarch because of one thing and was expelled, and since then he has wandered on the mainland and become a free warrior.
By chance, he joined the Shadow Church as a guest master, although the Shadow Church has a bad reputation, but it spends money generously, and it is quite happy to use money to do things.
This time, the mission was to infiltrate the tulip castle and destroy it, and because the bounty offered by the church was extremely high, Su Huo took it in a heartbeat.
Originally, I thought that this time the task would be quite easy, because the church was not asking to deal with the famous genius lord, as long as it could create enough chaos in the tulip castle, the mission would be completed, and the church had intelligence that the lord who was so powerful that the church was repeatedly deflated was very likely not in the castle.
But what Sukhowan didn't expect was that they entered the castle disguised as a caravan, and had just settled in the city's stronghold, when they were surrounded by people the next morning.
The dead of those churches can not be afraid of sacrifice, but Suho does not want to die, he likes to enjoy but definitely does not want to sell his life to the Shadow Church completely.
When the pillar of light containing terrifying power bombarded his companion to death, Su Huo could only put away his wings and landed towards the ground, cursing the secret spy of the Shadow Church thousands of times in his heart.
He can only hope that the other party's encirclement will not be too tight, as long as the encirclement is highlighted, he will have the opportunity to hide, and maybe he will be able to escape this catastrophe.
But a long whip that flew over shattered Suho's last hope, and the flaming whip wrapped around his body in an instant, the blazing flames burning away at his armor, the power attached to it immobilized, and in an instant he sniffed the breath of death.
The extreme fear made Su Huo's heart completely collapse at once, he completely forgot that he was a sky powerhouse, and shouted almost without thinking: "Don't kill me, I surrender!"
Surrender? Han Fei, who was holding the Flame Whip, couldn't help but be stunned, and the next killing move he was about to perform suddenly stopped, and his arm used force to retract the Flame Whip, immediately pulling the Sky Warrior who shouted surrender in front of him.
The strong have the dignity and bearing of the strong, those who are cowardly and cowardly and obscene will never be able to become the strong, Han Fei has seen a lot of Heaven Rank powerhouses who have fought in duels, and he has never been like the one in front of him who surrendered without a fight, and he is also a master of the Shadow Church, could it be said that his fighting wings are fake, and they are only cast with the help of a certain special equipment?
"What's your name?" Han Fei stared at the other party, the Flame Whip was still bound to his body, as long as this guy made the slightest move, he would inevitably be hit by the Destruction Surname.
The surrendered Sky Warrior looked to be in his thirties at most, handsome with a mix of Donghua and Taixi characteristics, but his face was frustrated and struggling, trying his best to resist the corrosive power of the Flame Whip.
"My name is Su Huo, a sixth-order junior sky warrior, a guest warrior of the Shadow Church, this lord, I am willing to surrender to you!" Su Huo lowered his head: "Please forgive me for my offense!"
Han Fei was even more surprised in his heart, words could lie, but strength could not deceive people.
He knew that although this Su Huo still had the power of a sky warrior, but after eating, drinking, gambling, and degrading over the years, he had long lost the fighting spirit and courage of a high-level powerhouse, and the strength realm was stagnant, not to mention, it was almost doomed to regress to the ocean realm in a few more years.
After thinking about it, Han Fei decided to let the other party go, because he saw that the other party was not deceiving him, and he also hoped to learn about the situation of the Shadow Church from his mouth.
And it's a pity for a Sky Warrior to kill him like this, maybe it will come in handy.
Of course, Han Fei also had to prevent accidents from happening, so before accepting Su Huo's surrender, he sealed the opponent's sea of qi and made it temporarily lose its force.
"I'll leave this person to you, don't treat it badly!" Han Fei said to Lan Mei beside him, "Of course, if he doesn't tell the truth..."
Of course, Lan Mei understood what Han Fei meant, she nodded knowingly, and then took the hapless Sky Warrior down.
After Lan Mei left, the battle outside the hotel was completely over, and the dead soldiers of the Shadow Church were all wiped out under the siege of the Lord's Mansion's guards, and there were more than fifty corpses underground.
Han Fei ordered a search of the hotel, and found more than twenty corpses from inside, these were ordinary guests who had been killed by the dead soldiers in the hotel just now, there were merchants and wanderers, and the fire on the city wall affected the pond fish, which can only be said to be very unlucky.
As for the Lord's Palace, no one was killed in battle, and more than a dozen samurai were injured of varying degrees of severity, three of whom were seriously injured and have been sent to the Church of Light for treatment, but their lives will not be in danger.
This battle undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for the young guards samurai, although they were lucky enough not to die this time, but they had realized the strength of the enemy they might face in the future, and everyone was arrogant, and they had a little more mature blood and killing intent.
This was exactly what Han Fei wanted to achieve, and after leaving the outer guards to take care of the rest, he returned to the Lord's Mansion.
Before noon, Lan Mei came to see Han Fei with the information she had dug up from Su Huo's mouth.
Lan Mei was originally a full-time assassin cultivated by the Shadow Church, and he had received special training in torture and counter-torture, and Su Huo had no intention of concealing it, so under Lan Mei's questioning, he almost explained who his seventeenth and eighteenth generations of ancestors were.
This made Han Fei clearly understand the identity of this Su Huo, and also figured out why he would easily capture him.
However, although Su Huo is only a guest warrior of the Shadow Church, he is very powerful and likes to call friends and enjoy luxury, so he has made many friends with a high status in the hierarchical and secret and strange Shadow Church, and as a result, he has inadvertently obtained many secrets of the Church, most of which are inside stories that assassins like Lan Mei cannot access at all.
This time, the Shadow Church's move against the Tulip Collar was completely out of revenge, and in the past two years, the Shadow Church has suffered heavy losses in Yanjing, several important strongholds have been uprooted, important people have lost their troops, and they hate Han Fei even more.
After more than a year of hibernation, the Shadow Church intended to regain its footing in Yanjing, so there was a retaliation this time, but it didn't expect that the official plan would be attacked by the Destruction Clan before it could be launched.
Han Fei frowned, such an enemy is the most annoying, and he can't be killed at once, so he usually has to pay attention to precautions, unless he can find the location of his lair and completely eradicate his leader's high-level leadership, otherwise similar incidents will inevitably happen in the future.
It's just that the Shadow Church has existed for thousands of years and has been suppressed repeatedly, where is it so easy to be found.
"He provided a list..."Lan Mei handed a roll of paper to Han Fei and said, "It records the important people of the Shadow Church lurking in Yanjing, there are twenty-seven in total, and many of them are officials of the Empire!"
"How is this possible?" Han Fei's first reaction was impossible, it would be understandable if Su Huo knew some of the inside information of the Shadow Sect, but such an important list was definitely the top secret of top secrets, how could it be possible for a guest samurai with the role of a thug to get it?
"I didn't believe it at first!" Lan Mei smiled and said, "But after repeated questioning, I believe he is not lying, this list was stolen from a high-ranking elder of the church, originally intended to be used as a bargaining chip to save his life, and that elder died in your hands in a subsequent operation, so no one knows this secret." ā
"Actually, it's not difficult to confirm the authenticity of this list, if it's true, then it's too useful!" Lan Mei's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "With the power of the empire, maybe you can send the entire Shadow Church to hell completely!"
Due to that tragic time, Lan Mei, who was born in the Shadow Church, has a deep hatred for the Shadow Church.
Han Fei nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Don't move this list yet, you send someone to the Hanhai Empire to see if his identity is real, this matter is very important, we must be careful about it!"
"As for Su Huo, keep him locked up for a while, and then let him go when the matter has a result, anyway, it doesn't matter to him. ā
"Yes, my lord!" Lan Mei lowered her head, one hand clenched into a fist hard.
