"Search! This is where the Han Dragon Army fled to. That traitor Chen Shuo is among them. Whoever finds them will be promoted to nobility! "
A eunuch with a gloomy expression was sitting on a strange beast. This beast was a few times larger than an ordinary horse. Its entire body was covered in green scales, and its bell-like eyes were blood-red. Just a glance from it would cause people to feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
The surrounding soldiers did not dare to look directly at the eunuch and his mount. In the battle outside the capital, this embroidered robed eunuch and his beast had caused the Han Dragon Army to flee in all directions.
If not for the Han Dragon Army pledging their lives to protect him, Chen Shuo would not have been able to escape and would have long since died outside the capital.
A dozen breaths later, a soldier hurriedly ran back and cupped his hands in salute to the eunuch. "Milord, there is a village not far ahead. On the road leading to the village, there are traces of cavalry. Although they have already carefully cleaned up the traces, this subordinate was still able to catch a glimpse of them!"
"Haha, hiding in a village?"
The eunuch revealed a faint evil smile. "What village is it?"
"It seems to be Huangshi Village."
The soldier said.
"Let's go in and take a look. Let's see how the King of Han feels after hiding in such a remote place in such a panic."
A trace of schadenfreude flashed in the eunuch's eyes.
"Yes!"
The several hundred soldiers replied in unison.
They were all elites of the Imperial Army of the capital's imperial palace. They were originally arrogant and unruly, so how could they respect a mere eunuch?
But a few days ago, they had personally witnessed the eunuch's strength and were willing to accept him as their leader.
Huangshi Village.
This place was somewhat different from before. At the end of the village, a Daoist temple had been erected. The words "Mysterious Heaven Sect" were written on the plaque above the temple.
Not long after Lin Xianqiu and the others left, the ancestor of the Mysterious Heaven Sect kept his promise and moved the entire Mysterious Heaven Sect to Huangshi Village, building a Daoist temple in the village.
Their current status was like the gatekeepers of the Qin Tang Temple.
In this period of time, the villagers of Huangshi Village were naturally very happy. With such an immortal living in their village, they didn't even need to worry about wild beasts descending from the mountains to wreak havoc at night.
"Village Chief, that group of people just now seems to be the rebellious Han Dragon Army.
They escaped to our Huangshi Village, will they bring disaster to our village? "
"What does this have to do with us? Our Huangshi Village did not protect them. Even if the Holy Emperor came, he would not be able to find fault with them."
The Village Chief glanced at the Mysterious Heaven Gate in the distance. Previously, when the Han Dragon Army had arrived at Huangshi Village, they had planned to head straight into the mountains. However, they had been stopped by the Mysterious Heaven Gate.
"That's true …" The crowd nodded in agreement.
But soon after, they felt the ground shake and couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the village. What they saw almost made the Village Chief faint on the spot.
The huge beast that the eunuch was riding on looked like a monster. Not to mention an old man like the village chief, even a strong young man would be scared to the point of shivering.
"Monster!"
"Village Chief, look! It's really a monster!"
"Shut up and calm down. Where are we?
How would demons dare to set foot in it? "
The old Village Chief quickly calmed down and berated the crowd. Then, he looked at the eunuch and the others with a grave expression.
The elite imperial guards followed the eunuch into Huangshi Village with solemn expressions. Their gazes were as sharp as knives as they swept across the faces of the crowd.
"Did you see the Han Dragon Army just now?"
One of the elite imperial guards suddenly stepped forward and asked coldly.
Han Dragon Army?
The old Village Chief immediately nodded. "I saw them. They're over there."
He turned and pointed towards the Mysterious Heaven Gate.
"The Mysterious Heaven Gate?
There's actually a Daoist temple here. Could it be that Chen Shuo's confidence lies in this Daoist temple? "
The eunuch's eyes flickered slightly.
It seemed that Chen Shuo had not chosen a random path in a panic. Instead, he had long since made preparations. Otherwise, how could there be a Daoist temple in such a remote mountain village?
However, he was not worried. The spiritual energy here was barren, so no cultivator would choose to cultivate here. Even if there were, they would most likely be low-level Qi Condensation cultivators.
"You're quite tactful. You know that there's no point in protecting Chen Shuo now."
The eunuch chuckled and then waved his hand. "A group of people will watch over them. Once we capture the bandit leader, we'll bring them all in for questioning. If they haven't committed any serious crimes, we can spare their lives."
What?
The Village Chief and the other villagers were dumbfounded. They never thought that the other party would capture them as well.
This is too much, isn't it?
Before they could react, the elite imperial guards split off a dozen people and surrounded them.
Then, the others followed the eunuch and walked towards the eye-catching Daoist temple in the distance.
As they got closer, they could faintly see the figures of the Han Dragon Army.
Those defeated soldiers all had injuries on their bodies. As soon as the embroidered clothed eunuch saw them, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
A few breaths later, the eunuch appeared in front of the Daoist temple on a huge beast. Spiritual energy gathered at his throat and instantly exploded. He let out a heaven-shaking roar. "Traitors, come out and surrender!"
His voice was so loud that even the tiles on the Black Heaven Gate trembled.
The Han Dragon Army soldiers turned to look at the eunuch one after another. There was still a trace of fear in their eyes that could not be washed away.
They had been frightened by the other party's methods in the last battle.
"This is the Black Heaven Gate. Who dares to be so presumptuous here?"
With a cold shout, a sword light shot out from the Mysterious Heaven Gate and instantly pierced through the huge beast under the command of the eunuch.
The beast whimpered and died innocently.
The atmosphere became very quiet.
The eunuch in embroidered robes could feel the heat energy of his beast continuously dissipating, and a trace of astonishment gradually appeared in his eyes. His beast's strength was at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and he himself was a strong cultivator at the mid stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Yet, the opponent had actually killed his mount with a single strike?
In the next moment, the eunuch suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up. He slowly turned around and saw that in the air.
The flying sword was spinning and its sharp aura had already enveloped him.
"There's a cultivator here who's even stronger than me! How is this possible! How did Chen Shuo recognize a cultivator like this? "
The eunuch was covered in cold sweat.
A figure slowly walked out from the Black Heaven Gate. It was an old man. Although he was not the sect leader, he was still a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The old man looked at the eunuch coldly and said indifferently, "Do you know where this is?
Considering how noisy you guys were just now, I'm already being merciful by only killing your subordinates' mounts. "
"Who exactly are you people …" The eunuch swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a serious expression.
