Hong Duwei hurriedly denied, "No, no! How can a pawn of the Life Extinguishing Hall get involved in such a big matter? The higher-ups will handle it. The Third Prince, you don't have to worry. "
He was afraid that Shen Zhenyi would find out his real purpose. It would be awkward then.
Shen Zhenyi smiled but did not say anything. He did not expose him.
Cynanchum Chinense muttered softly, "You may have been a pawn before, but now that your cultivation has improved so much, how can you still be a pawn? They must have eyes but failed to recognize you!"
Even Cynanchum Chinense knew that Hong Duwei's knife skills were slightly inferior. Otherwise, she would not have pestered Shen Zhenyi to learn how to use a knife. However, she had no talent in this area, so she could only helplessly give up.
Shen Zhenyi did not care about his denial. He only smiled and said, "If you insist on going, then go ahead."
"You are blessed. It will not be a problem."
Hong Duwei was not easy to die. Now that he had mastered his knife skills, it was even harder for him to die.
Shen Zhenyi was not stingy with his help. However, everyone had their own path, their own life and death. He could not do everything — or rather, he could not do everything for everyone.
After Hong Duwei and Lady Hong left, Cynanchum Chinense could not help but ask, "Master, are you really not going to care about them?"
"Let's see if I have time."
Shen Zhenyi smiled faintly, "We have a lot of troubles on our own. The Beast People and the Elder Faction have already made their move. The Life Extinguishing Hall also made a request that we did not agree to. The Ancient Martial Arts Sect will probably make peace with us, but the Royal Faction has not shown up yet."
Lady Hong conveyed the Earth Lord's message. Shen Zhenyi did not care. He was just waiting for the Ancient Martial Arts Sect to send people over.
The Royal Faction did not make a move, but it was strange.
After all, the Azurite Key was what they wanted the most, right? After getting it, Shen Zhenyi knew that there would be no peace in the future. He admired the patience of the Royal Faction.
"Royal Faction?"
Princess Long asked hesitantly, "Master, you've offended all the forces in Xuantian City …"
Speaking of which, the reason why Shen Zhenyi had returned to Mystic Heaven City was because he had killed the Mystic Heaven City's personal guard. He had been at odds with the Doyen Faction since the beginning. Although the Nine Gates Admiral said that this matter was over, his attitude was not very good.
Needless to say, the Beastmen were enemies. The Royal Faction had gotten into trouble because they stood up for the Bureau of Ten Thousand Sages. It was out of Princess Long's expectation that the Hall of Life Extinguishing Hall would not agree with them. Fortunately, the Ancient Martial Arts Sect had a request and did not adopt a tough attitude. Otherwise, they would not have made the entire world their enemy.
"We still have a murderer here who killed Prince Yuan on the streets."
Shen Zhenyi turned to look at Ah Gui.
Ah Hui was expressionless.
She had long been numb to killing people. As for who she killed, it didn't matter to her after that person died.
There was no difference between a dead person. Whether it was the Emperor or the number one expert in the world, once they died, they were nothing.
These aftermath matters were usually dealt with by others. She did not need to worry about it.
Now, the only problem she was worried about was Shen Zhenyi.
This unkillable person.
"That's true …"
Chu Huoluo thought of this and glared at Ah Hui. She said doubtfully, "You're right. Regardless of whether the Royal Family wants to seize the things in Master's hands or to avenge Prince Yuan, they should have come to us a long time ago. Why haven't they appeared when the other forces have already made a move? "
Her swordsmanship had improved greatly. She rubbed her palms together and couldn't wait to have a fight sooner. She hoped that the Royal Faction would take the initiative to attack.
"They haven't appeared yet, probably because they haven't found a suitable candidate."
Shen Zhenyi did not think much of it.
"They're probably thinking of a way at this time."
"Unfortunately, they will never find someone who can defeat me in the same realm."
Shen Zhenyi said faintly. These words sounded a little arrogant, but as long as it came from his mouth, it seemed to be a matter of course.
The Royal Faction was indeed looking for someone.
They were looking for someone who could kill Shen Zhenyi.
In a desolate desert in Xuantian City, a strong wind swept up the yellow sand. Every grain of sand carried a faint smell of blood, recording the passing of a life. It was also because of the existence of murderous aura that the originally insignificant sand became sharp blades. If one did not have the protection of the divine light, one would not even be able to walk into the outer edge of the sandstorm. Even if an ordinary person just got close, they could be killed by a grain of sand.
In the middle of the sandstorm, there was a wooden hut.
A person knelt in front of the hut.
He had gray hair on both sides of his head, a handsome but mean appearance. He wore a yellow robe with five dragons, and his expression was stern.
— Lord Nineteen of Heavenly Mountains.
He was already considered one of the top masters in the Royal Faction. His status was not low, but after seeing Shen Zhenyi fight, he knew that he was no match for him.
If they wanted to kill Shen Zhenyi, they could only ask for a stronger master to come out.
In the Royal Faction, even outside the obelisk, there were masters.
For example, the owner of the wooden hut in front of him.
The Golden-robed Association Leader knelt in the distance. In terms of martial arts, he was not inferior to Lord Nineteen, but in terms of status, he was not qualified to come here.
— The imperial tomb.
It was not the imperial tomb, nor was it the tomb of the past emperors. It was the burial place of the royal family members who had died young.
And this wooden hut was inhabited by a tomb keeper.
The Golden-robed Association Leader did not know the identity of the other party, but he knew that he had to kneel a hundred miles away from such a person.
Lord Nineteen was one of the leaders of the Royal Faction. After the death of Lord Yuan, there were even people who wanted to push him to the throne and restore the dynasty. But he could only kneel a little closer than the Golden-robed Association Leader.
For some reason, the Royal Faction made an emergency motion to invite this tomb keeper.
Eliminate Shen Zhenyi.
Seize and announce.
— There was another, but the most important, and that was to obtain the Azurite Key in Shen Zhenyi's hands.
What was this thing?
The Golden-robed Association Leader knew that he was just a lackey, and he did not have the opportunity to understand many confidential matters. For example, what was the use of the Azurite Key, why was it in Shen Zhenyi's hands, and who spread the news to the world?
At least the major forces in the city knew.
Otherwise, the beastmen and the elders would not have acted so hastily. It was said that the Life Extinguishing Hall and the ancient martial arts had also contacted Shen Zhenyi. The Royal Faction's attitude became more resolute.
"Grand Elder, please come out."
Two hours passed. Lord Nineteen kowtowed again, and spoke with a hoarse voice.
He had not eaten or drunk for several days, and just waited here for a response.
— If there was someone who could invite the tomb keeper, it was probably only him in the entire Royal Faction.
He grew up with the tomb keeper, and could almost be said to be half a son. Most of his martial arts came from the tomb keeper. This kind of half-teacher, half-father relationship seemed to have disappeared after he became an adult.
The tomb keeper chased him out of the imperial tomb. This was the first time he set foot here in decades.
A long sigh came from the wooden hut.
