“What?” Before Yang Qing could react, the sound of soldiers striding outside the hall could be heard. Chu Qi instantly took out her Full Moon Blade. Xiao Chen raised his hand and said, “Don’t be nervous.”

After saying that, Xiao Chen slowly walked to the door. At this time, there was a burst of clapping outside. It was King Shen who slowly walked over.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “It’s a small world to meet again. I’ve met King Shen again so soon.”

King Shen had a strange smile on his face. He glanced at him and then looked at the corpses in the hall. He smiled grimly, “Did you kill these people?”

Xiao Chen shook his head with a faint smile on his face. “No.”

“Do you think anyone will believe you?” King Shen let out a cold laugh.

“No.” Xiao Chen smiled and said.

“Since that is the case…” King Shen’s expression suddenly became cold as he shouted, “Take down these six people who committed murder. Leave them to the Black Corner Head Hall to be dealt with!”

“Bam bam bam!” As King Shen’s words fell, a hundred black-armored soldiers immediately rushed in from outside and surrounded the six people in the middle.

The three men behind Yang Qing immediately pulled out their swords. Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and his face was still relaxed. He did not underestimate the strength of King Shen. This was King Shen’s territory. He believed that even if he summoned Guifeng, he would not be able to escape.

“Has King Shen thought it through? Last night, King Shen made a big scene in the Illusive Aroma Lane, and these people were killed at that time. Can I think that King Shen let me in on purpose to kill people?” Xiao Chen said faintly with a smile.

King Shen’s eyes narrowed. At this time, the noon sun shone on his body, and the shadow covered a large area of the ground, looking a little ferocious. As the breeze blew gently, King Shen raised his head and laughed, “Good!” After that, he narrowed his eyes and waved his hand backward, and the one hundred soldiers immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

Xiao Chen clasped his hands and smiled. “Many thanks, King Shen.” He then said to the people behind him, “Let’s go.”

The group of people immediately left. When they passed King Shen, they heard him say coldly, “I hope that you are not teasing me. Otherwise, you and the people around you will all die a miserable death…”

Even though the sun was high up in the sky, the voice still sounded very chilling. Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said nothing. When the group of people left, Yang Qing secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “King Shen is really sly.”

“If I sit in this position with a sense of unwillingness and ambition, maybe I… Heh heh.” Speaking of this, Xiao Chen smiled and stopped talking.

Next, the six of them went to the place where Yang Qing and the others hid before. Yang Qing arranged for the three men who did not meet Xiao Chen at the Illusive Aroma Lane to go to the Bloodmoon Hall to investigate first, while the others discussed in the small room. After all, the 12 halls in the Black Horn were not like the 72 small halls, which could be exterminated unknowingly.

An hour later, Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said with concentration, “In this case, the Bloodmoon Hall has two martial artists who are close to the Lv 6. It’s really tough to deal with.”

He had experienced the strength of King Shen last night in Illusive Aroma Tower. King Shen had at least a martial cultivation of Lv 6, but he had not used his full strength last night. If King Shen had used his full strength, Xiao Chen would not be a match for a Lv 6 martial artist with a unique skill.

Martial arts were divided into seven realms, which were equivalent to the seven realms for the cultivators of immortal cultivation. Lv 6 was equivalent to the Apotheosis Realm, and Lv 7 was equivalent to the Grand Completion Realm. People in the higher realms were called Martial Saints, which were equivalent to Rogue Immortals, Earth Immortals, and True Immortals. Xiao Ning and Gu Feng were at least the early-stage Martial Saints.

In the world of martial arts, the martial artists’ yearning for Martial Saint was also equivalent to the yearning of the cultivators for immortals in the Cultivation World.

And in a sense, it was more difficult to deal with martial artists than cultivators, especially for martial artists like King Shen who practiced unique skills. Although they did not have those magnificent magic spells, their speed, their strength, and their unique skills were the nightmare of these cultivators nowadays.

Yang Qing’s expression was grave as well. He frowned and said, “If they’ve cultivated Devilish Skill, I’m afraid it’ll be even more troublesome. Demonic and martial arts practitioners are sometimes even more terrifying than cultivators who have practiced both Immortal skills and martial arts, but it’s not a big deal. The only thing I’m worried about is…”

“Are you worried that the person from the Purple Wind Hall is lying? A dying man speaks kindly. I think there’s no reason for him to lie to us. Moreover, he didn’t look like he’s lying at the time either,” Xiao Chen said.

Yang Qing nodded. “That sounds right. How are you going to act then, Brother Xiao? If the two peak Lv 5 people are guarding the dungeon, and that’s their territory, and they’re proficient in mechanisms and traps, there’s no way we’ll succeed.”

“A man at the peak of Lv 5 was used as a jailor! I don’t think there are so many talented people in the Black Horn. Let’s take action tonight. We’ll hold the two of them back, and Chu Qi will go to save the person.”

After that, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Qi. “There’s only you this time. Are you confident enough?”

“I alone will be enough.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Regarding Chu Qi, he still believed in her abilities very much. Then, he would wait and see, until night fell.

At dusk, the three people that Yang Qing sent were not yet back. They paced back and forth in the room. Yang Qing frowned and said, “Forget it. We won’t wait for them anymore. Let’s go there and meet them.”

They quietly walked out of the inn. The sky was a little gloomy as if it was going to rain. An hour later, the night was falling quietly, and a fine rain was falling from the sky. It was a little cold as if it had brought along a hint of blood smell.

Tonight, Black-horn City was especially quiet, and the atmosphere was rather oppressive. There were a few people on the streets, all of them quietly lowering their heads, allowing the icy cold rain to land on their faces.

“Tap… tap… tap…”

The six men’s steps were slow and heavy, and the splashing water scattered around. Occasionally, lightning flashed across the sky, which exposed the corners that had been shrouded in shadows to the eyes of the six men.

At the moment, in those dark corners, there were many people huddled up. They were unkempt, but their eyes were very sharp, like the wolves in the dark night, shining with a chilling and fierce light, looking at the six people passing by them.

They were not refugees of Wastelands. They were spies from the Black Horn. They were scattered in every shadowed corner of the Black-Corner City. They never killed, but many people died because of them.

At 9 o’clock, they finally arrived at the area where Black Horn Bloodmoon Hall was located. The six people hid in a high ground with trees as cover, quietly observing the area below.

There were many guards below, and they were scattered everywhere. Each of them held a machine crossbow. The lethality of these crossbows was very strong, and their arrowheads were coated with poison. Although the guards’ martial arts were not high, once they were disturbed, trouble would follow. Even Xiao Chen could only choose to sneak in instead of going in by force.

Lightning continued to flash in the sky, and the sound of thunder was extremely muffled. The night was their best cover.

“If you don’t want to die, use the thunder to cover your actions. Remember, before lightning arrives, you must hide well in the shadows.”

Xiao Chen concentrated and said. This was their first plan, sneaking into the hall to save people. If this plan failed, they would execute the second plan. They would hold back a large number of masters and two martial artists of the Lv 5. Chu Qi would go to the Bloodmoon Hall to save the person alone.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Chen quietly moved downward. With two whooshing sounds, he used two Qi blades to deal with the two guards a few meters away. The two men behind Yang Qing also moved and quickly dragged the bodies into the grass. They must not be seen.

The air began to shake, and the next lightning bolt was coming. The six figures flashed and quickly hid in the corner. They must not expose themselves in the sight of the guards on the observation platform.

Xiao Chen held his breath. This was the first time he had carried out this kind of sneak-in task. Needless to say, as a member of the Levitating Dark Fragrance, Chu Qi was good at this kind of task. At this moment, her breathing was steady and her face was calm. Droplets of water fell from her face drop by drop.

Lightning passed, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again. The sound of thunder was about to arrive. The six of them moved swiftly again. There was a shallow river in front of them. On the bridge, there were two shifty crossbow guards. The two guards were about 10 feet away from each other. In the distance, there were two teams of patrols coming this way. Xiao Chen said to Chu Qi, “I’ll leave the one on the right to you.”

He then flicked his finger and a finger force shot toward the guard on the left and pierced the guard’s head with a whizzing sound. At the same time, the guard on the right was also killed by Chu Qi. Yang Qing and the other two people behind him immediately moved and hid the two corpses under the bridge along with the dull thunder.

Xiao Chen moved along with Chu Qi. The six of them hid under the bridge and waited for the next lightning bolt. They also waited for the two patrols to pass.

Soon, the two groups of patrols arrived. The bridge creaked as they stepped on the bridge plank. Xiao Chen remained half-squatting. He placed one hand on the jade-like shoulder of Chu Qi, which was covered with droplets of water. He used the other hand to wave gently, motioning them to go over.

The river was very cold. Xiao Chen could feel that the shoulders of Chu Qi were also very cold. At this moment, they did not dare to move. Finally, after the two patrols finished handing over, the two teams walked back in the direction of each other, leaving only two people on the two sides of the bridge.

Lightning finally passed. Xiao Chen quietly moved to the man on the right. With a “squeak,” he twisted the man’s neck from the back. The man on the left was also cut in the throat from the back by Chu Qi.

Yang Qing and the others immediately dragged the bodies down the bridge, and they went forward again with the dull thunder. In this way, they sneaked all the way. After an hour, they finally approached the block where the main hall of the Bloodmoon Hall was located, and under the main hall of the Bloodmoon Hall was the dungeon where Ren Yuntian was locked up.

The six of them walked a few miles ahead. The number of guards seemed to be fewer and fewer. Xiao Chen could faintly sense that something was amiss. He reached out his hand and said, “Wait!”

As his voice fell, with a “Swish” sound, a poisonous arrow came from a distance and pierced through the rain in the air. Xiao Chen turned back to avoid the toxic arrow. At this time, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and countless people stood in all directions.

“We have been discovered…”

Yang Qing and the others immediately unsheathed their swords and stood with their backs against each other. Xiao Chen frowned. “Chu Qi!”

Chu Qi did not say much and could only carry out the second plan. She moved toward the Bloodmoon Hall. However, as soon as she took a step, a terrifying force rushed toward her as if it was going to tear up space.

“Watch out!” Xiao Chen thundered and swiftly rushed forward to hold her behind him. At the same time, he punched out. “Rumble!” It was as dull as thunder. He was sent flying backward for dozens of feet by this sudden force.

“Interesting. There will indeed be guests tonight…”
