As he raised his head, a group of guards happened to gather around him. They hurriedly placed a hand on his shoulder and were about to drag him away. He immediately flung his sleeve and said, "Fine, I'll go! Don't touch me. I'll personally explain to the prince! Let's go. "
That person saw that he was quite straightforward and did not make things difficult for him. He only raised his hand and made a 'go' gesture to the crowd. At the same time, he sneered, "You committed a serious crime and still dare to order others around. You are indeed worthy of this humble prince. You are truly unafraid in the face of danger. Truly extraordinary! "
Shangguan Yaohua ignored his sarcastic words and followed the crowd out of the study. With heaven and earth as witness, he was determined to surrender and had no other intentions. The interior of the residence was peaceful and pleasant. A guard was leading the way, but he was surrounded in a circle by the crowd. He said unhappily, "What, why are you so guarded against me? Are you afraid that I'll run away? "
That person said, "Of course you won't run away. However, the prince often teaches us brothers that we must always guard against others! If you truly have a clear conscience, even if a hundred people were to watch you, you would still be able to remain calm! "Shangguan Yaohua coldly snorted," Just for this prince, you need to trouble hundreds of people in your residence? Am I that honored? "
Before that person could answer, he suddenly heard a miserable cry. The eyes of the person leading the way in front of Shangguan Yaohua turned white. His body trembled and he fell to the ground. Shangguan Yaohua nimbly dodged to the side to prevent any hidden weapons from following him. When he looked at that person again, he saw that there was no blood on his body. From the outside, he could not see any abnormalities. However, he had mysteriously fallen to the ground and died. When the guards behind saw this, they were furious and shouted, "Hey! What the hell are you doing? "
Shangguan Yaohua angrily retorted, "I didn't do anything! What does it have to do with me? "
That person recalled that he had been watching him the entire time. Shangguan Yaohua did not even raise his hand. Although he was not without malice, he could not accuse him unjustly. He heavily snorted and said, "Fine, I'll let it go this time. If you dare to play any tricks later, I won't let you off easily! "
The Shangguan Yaohua responded with a disdainful snort. The group of people had not gone far when they suddenly felt that the wind was different, but at first no one paid attention to it. Soon after, 'Ah! Ah!' sounds were heard, followed by incessant blood-curdling screams. The several people surrounding Shangguan Yaohua were bleeding profusely from their chests, and one by one they collapsed to the ground.
One of the guards shouted, "Good lad, you dare to use demonic arts? I'll kill you first! " Just as the long spear pierced halfway, a white light flashed across his neck. The wound was like a thin line, and at first, only a few streaks of blood seeped out. The bodyguard only felt a slight pain in his throat and raised his hand to wipe it.
Shangguan Yaohua watched as the man pushed his head off his neck. A ball of black hair rolled on the ground and brushed against his trousers. Shangguan Yaohua looked on helplessly. Feeling a few strands of hair brushing against his ankle, he was so scared that he jumped to the side. Pulling his sword out, he looked around in all directions, anxious to find the killer.
He did not know how that person avoided him. Was it because he wanted to annihilate all of them, or because he wanted to save them? His mind was filled with suspicion: Could it be that Prince Fu sent someone to kill them? However, he was following his orders to gather information. How could he make the first move to destroy the chess piece before the chess piece was' used up '? But if it was not Prince Fu, who could be his enemy? Lu Qian had only insulted him in front of his face, how could he send assassins behind his back? No matter how he thought about it, this matter was extremely strange. Because the enemy was in the dark, he was in the open, there was a deep sense of strangeness.
After this sudden chaos, the remaining bodyguards gathered together and stared at Shangguan Yaohua. Their eyes were filled with anger and fear. Before they could say anything, Shangguan Yaohua only had time to say, "It wasn't me …" Then he saw a ray of white light sweep across their chests, and they all fell to the ground. Immediately his whole body felt weak.
The greatest fear of death was watching the people around him suffer one by one. While the enemy was hiding in the dark, he did not know when the day would come when he would be killed. How long could this temporary peace last?
Although Shangguan Yaohua was panicking, he was still able to maintain a clear mind. Many times when he was in danger, he was able to rely on his extraordinary calmness to escape death. At worst, he would say a few good words to the enemy and try to establish a friendship. In any case, from that person's actions, he was certain to be a martial arts expert. It would not be a loss to have such a backing.
But this time, he saw the attack from the front. When the ray of white light brushed past everyone's bodies, it did not fall. Instead, as if it had a life of its own, it made a horizontal turn and flew into the air. This time, he finally saw it clearly. It was a short golden dart. As it flew through the air, it left a trail of light behind it. It was quite domineering.
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard of the appearance of this object many times. The description could be said to be very lifelike, so he immediately recognized it at a glance. He cried out involuntarily, "Soulless?! You … you are the Seven Malevolent Demons? "
Now that the Seven Malevolent Treasures had reappeared, it immediately became the most sought-after treasure in the world. Not only the martial arts world, but even the common people wanted to see it. No matter which market stall you went to, you could see similar replicas. The only difference was that the larger the store, the more detailed the replicas.
Perhaps this group of common people knew that they would not be able to obtain the treasure, so they were happy to have an identical replica in their hands. However, an evil concealed weapon that could listen to its owner's orders and kill freely, other than the real Soulless, there was no other possibility.
When he thought that the person was Jiang Liechen, his initial fear gradually faded. For some reason, he seemed to be certain that even if he came to cause trouble, he would not kill him. On the contrary, he was much less of a threat than the other enemies. Suddenly, a fierce anger rose. He stood in the open space, pointing his sword to the sky and cursing. He then said, "Are you planning to run away? Are you so unsightly? Pei, trash that can only curl up in a dark corner, get out here! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound. A small concealed weapon flew toward him. Judging from the sound of the wind, its momentum was also very fierce. He did not dare to take it head on and quickly dodged to the side. In the end, he felt that he could not take it anymore and raised his sword to chop down. It was good to frustrate him a little. However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. That small concealed weapon was able to deflect his sword. Even his wrist and the web between his thumb and index finger were affected. His arm was sore and the tip of his sword was pointed to the ground.
At the same time, the concealed weapon was nailed to the ground. Only a small part of it was inserted. The upper part of it was exposed. It was like an arrogant person with its chest out and head held high, provoking him.
Shangguan Yaohua frowned and stared at it. His hands tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, waiting for it to suddenly explode so that he would not be flustered. He had seen the power of this concealed weapon and naturally did not want to become the next target. However, after pausing for a moment, he realized that he had been suspicious. It turned out that it was not the Soulless, but just an ordinary piece of wood. On the side facing him, there were a few white scratches that seemed to have words engraved on them.
Shangguan Yaohua, who had just escaped danger, could not help but become angry again. He shouted, "What is the meaning of this? You look down on me and are unwilling to use the Soulless to deal with me? Who are you trying to fool with this rotten piece of wood? If you have something to say, come out and say it clearly. Don't speak in riddles! "
However, even after shouting a few times, Jiang Liechen did not move. There was a continuous rustling sound from the branches on all sides. It was difficult to tell where he was hiding. He originally wanted to vent his anger, but in the end, he could not resist his curiosity. He casually found an excuse: in any case, I won't die if I take a look. These words were used to dismiss him.
However, in his opinion, bowing meant that he was bowing and admitting defeat. He was a noble prince, so how could he bow in front of the leader of ten thousand demons? The tip of his foot hooked the piece of wood, causing it to bounce up. When it fell back down, he flicked his sleeve and caught it. He did not know if the wood was poisoned, so he wrapped it in his sleeve and hurriedly glanced at it. He saw the words engraved on it: "Enemy reinforcements are coming, retreat!"
Seeing these words, Shangguan Yaohua felt ashamed. He sighed inwardly that he had been angered to the point of becoming muddle-headed. For a moment, he forgot that he was in a dangerous situation and openly cursed in the Prince's mansion. When the Imperial Bodyguards arrived and saw the ground full of corpses, he would not be able to explain himself. Stealing intelligence was already a serious crime. If he resisted and committed a crime, it would be an additional crime. How could he afford to suffer such injustice?
He fiercely threw the piece of wood to the ground and pretended to be talking to himself. He loudly said, "I was going to leave! I did not follow your orders. Don't think too highly of yourself! " Afterwards, even he himself felt that his actions were childish and laughable. There was no better example of 'three hundred taels of silver here' than this.
While looking for a small path to escape, he was still thinking, "Reminding me is one thing, but I won't accept your kindness. Who told you to meddle in other people's business? I didn't ask you to help me. "After a few self-deceiving words, he felt a lot better.
He successfully escaped from the mansion. Just as he was wondering where to go, another piece of wood was thrown down from the sky with an arrow on it. Shangguan Yaohua ignored the piece of wood and lifted his head to look around. Hatefully, it was still calm and peaceful above his head. Coincidentally, there were several forks in the road ahead. Looking at the arrow, he hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, "I'll just follow you. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Clenching his teeth, he rushed to the left.
After turning several corners, he still saw a piece of wood that had fallen down from the sky. No matter how carefully he observed, he could not find the slightest trace of Jiang Liechen. There were no superfluous words on the piece of wood, it was just an arrow. At first glance, it looked like it was carved by a finger, and the mark was very deep. Shangguan Yaohua was dissatisfied and muttered to himself, "What are you showing off for? You want to say that your internal energy is formidable? Humph, what's so great about it? "
He followed the trail, but the scenery on both sides was very familiar. After flipping over another wall, he found out the reason. He saw that he was in the Prince Fu's mansion, and it happened to be in front of his own room. The piece of wood was no longer thrown down. It looked like he had reached the end. This feeling was even more strange. It was as if he was a child who could not find his home and needed to be guided step by step.
Shangguan Yaohua hated being looked down upon the most. He did not care if this thought was nonsense and might not be true. He cursed loudly in the courtyard. Fortunately, there were no servants passing by at that time, so the young prince did not lose his composure.
After cursing for half a day, other than his own breathing and dry mouth, there was nothing else. He was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at a tree in front of him, angrily saying, "Seven Demons Demon! Hey! Jiang Liechen, why are you pretending to be a ghost? Come out! I don't have time to play hide and seek with you! I'm warning you one last time, if you don't get down here to see me, don't blame laozi for not playing with you anymore! "After saying this, he turned around and went back to his room. In fact, this was one of his tactics. Along the way, he had been forced to lose his composure. It was time for him to make a comeback.
Sure enough, a gust of wind blew behind him. There was no sign of the rumor of a demon appearing in the world. Shangguan Yaohua's face revealed a trace of a cold smile. He turned around and saw a dark figure dressed in a long robe standing in front of him. If it was not for the fact that it was a pretense, it would have seemed as if it had emerged from the ground.
