Li Bo was sitting in his room inside the Shadow Guard Headquarters in the Northwest Province. There was only one window in the room, but it was sealed shut, so the atmosphere inside the room was very dark and depressing.
At this time, a Fusion Soul Realm Shadow Guard commander was trembling as he saluted Li Bo, "Sir, this matter was caused by our negligence. We let that traitor Chen Gang escape and spread the news to the martial world. Please punish us, sir."
Strictly speaking, the Shadow Guard was also responsible for this matter.
When Chen Gang escaped, they didn't think that this was normal. After all, no one would have thought that a Soul Transformation Realm commandant of the Northwest Army would betray them. Especially since the Shadow Guard had already investigated Chen Gang's identity and there was nothing suspicious about him.
But after Chen Gang left for so many days, it was only when he spread the news in the martial world that the Shadow Guard was aware of it. This was the fault of the Shadow Guard.
To put it in a small way, it was the Shadow Guard's lack of vigilance. To put it in a big way, it was a dereliction of duty.
The Fusion Soul Realm commandant of the Shadow Guard was previously responsible for supervising the Northwest Army. Now that Chen Gang was in trouble, it was naturally his responsibility.
Although the person in front of him was also at the Fusion Soul Realm, he was extremely afraid in front of Li Bo.
As a direct subordinate of Li Bo, no one knew better than him how terrifying and cold-blooded this person was!
However, when he finished speaking and was waiting for Li Bo's punishment, he saw Li Bo faintly say, "Alright, this matter is not entirely your fault. Just be more vigilant in the future."
Li Bo's words suddenly stunned the commander of the Shadow Guard. Is this still the cold-blooded and ruthless Sir Li Bo? Was this matter just going to float away like that?
Seeing that the commander was still in a daze, Li Bo couldn't help but frown, "What are you still doing here? That Chen Gang actually dared to betray Lord Su. Are we going to let him get away scot-free?
Gather your forces immediately. I will personally lead you to find that Chen Gang and let him know the consequences of betraying Lord Su! "
The Shadow Guard commander quickly saluted and said, "Yes, Sir! This subordinate will go and prepare now. "
A strange expression flashed across Li Bo's expressionless face. Usually, this kind of thing was handled by Huang Bingcheng, and the one acting was also Huang Bingcheng.
Now that it was Li Bo's turn, he was really not used to it.
After all, he had always been used to speaking with the sword in his hand. Now that he had suddenly used it, Li Bo was a little worried that he would not be able to control it well.
However, from the looks of it, it was still okay. At least things were developing according to his plan, and he didn't expose himself.
In Yangzhou Prefecture of Henan Province, Chen Gang used a disguise technique to change his original heroic appearance into a pot-bellied, ugly merchant, and swaggered into the city.
Henan Province was the territory of Shaolin Temple. Everyone knew the relationship between Shaolin Temple and Su Xin. Therefore, in the entire Jianghu, it was estimated that only Shaolin Temple had the least influence in Su Xin's hands.
In a small tavern in Yangzhou Prefecture, Chen Gang was sitting in fear. He had already made an appointment with Shaolin Temple and several other sects to trade information with him. But as long as the matter was not settled, his heart would not be at ease.
After all, he was also a captain of the Northwest Army and knew the terror of the Shadow Guard.
Currently, the three strongest intelligence organizations in the world were Six Doors, Divine Design Valley, and the Shadow Guard.
However, Six Doors only cared about the affairs of the imperial court and matters that threatened the imperial court, while Divine Design Valley only cared about selling information. Among them, the most ferocious was the Shadow Guard, a powerful organization that combined intelligence and assassination.
Especially the Shadow Guard Chief Li Bo. Although this person was not well-known in the Jianghu, he had been in charge of the Shadow Guard for many years. How many people had been killed by him? His methods were decisive and ruthless. Even Chen Gang, who did not belong to the Shadow Guard system, had heard of his fierce name.
At the thought that Li Bo might be leading the Shadow Guard's lackeys to track him down, Chen Gang's liver trembled.
At this time, several rogue cultivators in the tavern were drinking and chatting, and they were talking about Chen Gang.
One of the warriors with a long saber on his back and a moustache grinned and said, "I don't know if you have heard that Chen Gang, the captain of the Northwest Army, defected to the Northwest. It is said that he has a secret about the Northwest King, 'Blood Sword Divine Lord' Su Xin, Lord Su."
A sturdy man opposite him smiled and said, "Of course I've heard of it. This matter has spread throughout the Jianghu. Tsk tsk, this Chen Gang's courage is not ordinary. He actually dared to provoke an existence of Sir Su's level.
However, regardless of whether this matter was true or not, it was said that the Dark Guards had already set out to search for Chen Gang all over the Jianghu. They had even directly issued a reward, a Heaven-grade weapon and a Spirit Transferring Pill personally refined by the 'Merciless Medicine King' Sun Buhai.
Tsk tsk, this reward is very generous. To be honest, our brothers are all tempted. "
When Chen Gang heard the conversation of these rogue cultivators, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
A group of Xiantian Realm warriors wanted to capture him for the reward? They simply did not know what they were doing!
However, at this time, no matter how angry Chen Gang was, he did not dare to say a word. If his identity was exposed before the people from Shaolin Temple arrived, it would be purely courting death.
But at this time, a cold and gloomy aura suddenly surrounded the entire tavern.
At this time, all the warriors in the tavern shivered and subconsciously looked out of the door.
Outside the tavern, more than ten men in black had directly blocked the way to the tavern.
These men in black all wore bamboo hats and had long sabers hanging from their waists. There were strands of blood on their sleeves, which set off a trace of cold murderous intent.
The leader of the group had a blood-red long sword hanging from his waist. His face was slightly deathly pale, and there was not the slightest expression on his face.
The only thing that everyone present could feel from him was a cold Death Qi, as if this person in front of them was a malicious spirit that had crawled out of hell!
Right now, it was clearly a sunny day outside, but standing here, he gave off the illusion that he was in an icy realm.
Even an idiot could guess at this time that this person in front of them was the number one lackey of the Northwest King Su Xin, the Chief Steward of the Shadow Guards, Li Bo!
Apart from him, no one in the pugilistic world would have such a terrifying Death Qi, and no one was qualified to hold Su Xin's former sword, the Flying Blood Sword.
Chen Gang's face was pale, and he was dripping with cold sweat. At this time, he did not dare to look at Li Bo. He just stared at the ground, hoping that Li Bo did not discover him.
Unfortunately, some things did not go according to one's wishes.
Li Bo looked straight at Chen Gang and said faintly, "My Northwest Path has been good to you, why did you do this?"
Chen Gang smiled sadly. He knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he directly took off the human skin mask and revealed his original face.
The Rogue Cultivators present couldn't help but feel regret when they saw this scene.
Who would have thought that there was a person with a bounty on the head of the Shadow Guards hidden among them?
If they knew this, they would have reported him and pointed out the clues. Then this Heavenly Weapon and the supreme grade pill would have been his.
Chen Gang smiled helplessly and said, "Winner takes all, I have nothing to say about this. This time, I admit defeat. I know the methods of the Shadow Guards, I only ask Lord Li to give me a quick death."
A Harmonious God Realm commander next to Li Bo sneered, "Give you a quick death? Do you still have the qualifications to talk about conditions? "
This Harmonious God Realm commander was the person in charge of this matter. Although Li Bo had promised not to hold him responsible, Chen Gang's escape still made him lose face in front of his colleagues.
Chen Gang's face was a little pale. Of course, he did not want to die, but he was afraid of living a life worse than death!
In the past, he only listened to the methods of the Shadow Guards as entertainment, but when it was his turn one day, Chen Gang could not bear to look directly at it.
Therefore, Chen Gang fiercely clenched his teeth and directly hit his head with his palm. He actually wanted to commit suicide to escape the punishment of the Shadow Guards.
The Harmonious God Realm Shadow Guard commander sneered and said, "If you fall into our hands, your life will not be yours!"
The long saber was unsheathed, and in an instant, a hot saber light tore through the sky, like a heavenly fire descending to the world, appearing incomparably gorgeous.
However, this saber did not slash Chen Gang's body, but his right hand.
At this moment, a Buddhist chant was heard, and the wall of the tavern was directly smashed. A figure emitting Buddhist light reached out and grabbed, as if capturing a dragon, directly grabbing the saber light in his hand, and forcibly crushing it!
The person who appeared in front of everyone was a tall and strong monk with the strength of the Harmonious God Realm. He put his palms together and said in a stern tone, "Everyone, you injured people in my Henan Road, did you ask for the permission of my Shaolin Temple?"
The Shadow Guard commander who attacked said with an ugly expression, "Chief Instructor of the Arhat Hall of the Shaolin Temple, 'Qijue Monk' Jue Kun!"
Henan Road was originally the territory of the Shaolin Temple. Originally, they wanted to end the battle quickly and directly take Chen Gang away, but they did not expect the people of the Shaolin Temple to come so quickly.
Moreover, seeing the arrival of the people of the Shaolin Temple, Chen Gang also breathed a sigh of relief, and even almost fell to the ground.
Although he had the intention to die just now, who would be willing to die if he could live?
Li Bo took a step forward, and the solemn deathly intent around him became stronger, looking incomparably terrifying.
"You want to stop me?"
The cold deathly intent went straight to the heart, and Jue Kun could not help but shiver, but he still forced himself to say in a deep voice, "The Chief Supervisor of the Shadow Guard, Lord Li's strength is naturally not comparable to a martial monk like me, but I, Jue Kun, am only a nobody in the Shaolin Temple. If I can't stop you, there will naturally be others who can!"
As soon as Jue Kun's voice fell, a group of monks from the Shaolin Temple walked in from the broken wall, and one of them was the head of the Arhat Hall of the Shaolin Temple, 'Exorcist Arhat' Xuan Ming!
Looking at Li Bo, Xuan Ming said lightly, "Jue Kun can't stop you, but can I?"
