633: C633

C633

The time went back to three days ago.

The General of the border guard of the extremely southern region of the Radiant Main City had once said that within twenty days, they would definitely capture the border barbarians and take their heads back to the capital to request for meritorious services.

As expected, the border guards had beheaded the rebel leader in front of the crowd. Five hundred thousand rebel soldiers had fled in panic, and in order to prevent the rebel army from sneaking into the neighboring cities to harm the citizens, the border guards had led their troops to kill them all.

It was precisely because of this that the border guards could not hand over the head of the enemy leader at the first possible moment, and with a military order like a mountain, one could not go against an oath. In order to present the head of the rebel leader within the prescribed time limit, they had to entrust them to their subordinates, contact their Universe Escort Office, and quickly send people to reinforce them.

If the rebel army members stopped them along the way and tried to take their heads away, the military law would punish those who kept their promises and the prestige of the royal family would be damaged to a certain extent.

Therefore, when Ming Yu arrived at the southern part of the Radiant Main City, on the surface, it looked like he was transporting goods with a group of merchants, but in reality, these people were all dressed up like soldiers.

Ming Yu's mind was very sharp. Although this group of people dressed up like businessmen, the sharp and murderous intent in their eyes couldn't hide the murderous intent in their hearts.

Therefore, Ming Yu probably guessed that this mission wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.

However, the most unexpected thing was not the matter of the traitors who had come from the extremely southern part of the Radiant Main City three days ago, but rather, a major incident had occurred to the southern part of the Imperial Region: A terrifying assassin had finally been apprehended!

Logically speaking, this should be considered a big matter as it should be a huge announcement regarding the strength of the Barbarian Imperial Region Royal Family and the various large escort organizations, it could even be considered a show of dignity, but in reality, this major event had already been tightly sealed off.

Because this assassin's background was too big; he came from the Scarlet Moon!

Furthermore, he had killed countless innocent lives in the Scarlet Moon, including the Armed Escort. He was the Tomb Keeper!

The reason why he was called Tomb Keeper was because he had a huge coffin and a large tombstone. All those who had been killed by him, were placed inside the huge coffin, and that person's name would also be forever engraved on the tombstone.

Up until now, the giant tombstone had already been engraved with the names of 32.98 million people!

They included more than twenty thousand innocent victims, three thousand royal officials, and even four hundred and seventy-three Armed Escort s!

There were even a total of five hostile hitmen who he had cleaned up secretly for Scarlet Moon all these years!

It was this "Tomb Keeper" that killed countless lives before finally falling into his trap. It was truly a joyful feeling.

Three days ago, the tallest royal government in the middle of the Barbarian Imperial Region had already issued a secret order, sending a special escort to bring him back to the middle of the Barbarian Imperial Region to make a final judgement, informing the world of the great baleful Scarlet Moon's might!

Because the Scarlet Moon did not know the specific location of the Tomb Keeper and did not know where he would be sent back to the Central Region, the Royal Government did not wish for this matter to be dealt with in a high-profile, in order to not attract assassins from the Scarlet Moon to save the Tomb Keeper. Thus, they only sent nine Armed Escort s to conduct a secret escort.

Of course, this so-called low-key treatment, the secret escort, in reality, the nine Armed Escort s were already incomparably powerful.

In a completely camouflaged situation, none of the enemies they met along the way would be a match for them.

They came from the five great escort offices!

Hui Yu Escort Office, Purple Emblem Escort King, two people;

Yongyi Escort Office, Purple Emblem Escort King, two people;

Flashing Wind Escort Office, Purple Emblem Escort King, two people;

The Celestial Silkworm Escort Office, Purple Emblem Escort King, two people;

Finally, the Hanhai Escort Office, the Silver Emblem Escort King, one person!

The Darts King sent by the mission was chosen after careful examination, because the escort team of the Escort Kings were originally close to the place where the Tomb Keeper was captured. As the saying goes, "The army is noble and swift.

After all, there were fewer Escort Kings in the Armed Escort, but they were all extremely powerful.

The Purple Emblem Escort King was an expert at the seventh level of Star Swallowing Stage or above, and the Silver Emblem Escort King was at the eighth level of Star Swallowing Stage or above!

With such a luxurious lineup, even some experts at the ninth level of Star Swallowing Stage would not be able to do anything about it, not to mention the Tomb Keeper, who had cheated repeatedly and wished for nothing more than to be killed by others, was only at the sixth level of Star Swallowing Stage.

Under these circumstances, even if Tomb Keeper was given ten thousand chances, he alone would not be able to escape!

Just like that, on the second night after Tomb Keeper was captured, the nine escort king s led the Tomb Keeper to begin their operation, and tonight was the third night after the Tomb Keeper was captured, which was also when the escort team travelled for an entire day.

Swoosh.

A gentle breeze swept across the Wilderness, causing the vegetation to sway slightly.

The wind was invisible. Ordinary people would only feel that it was an invisible wind, and only true experts would realize that it wasn't a light breeze at all, but a group of people escorting Tomb Keeper forward at high speed!

Their footsteps were light, the Stellar Genuine Qi around their body had already become extremely dense, yet they were being controlled so well that they were barely jiggling. Even though it was extremely mellow and rich, it was still able to control and compress itself into a small encirclement, completely blocking out all their auras.

The reason why they were travelling on the borders of the Wilderness was because there were very few Vicious Beast at the edges.

After all, this secret operation had to be done in silence and not in public.

"Cough …" "Cough …"

Coughing sounds came from the old man's hands and feet that were chained up in the middle of the room.

His hair was disheveled and his entire body was wrapped in a black hat. His face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, and only two silver-yellow eyes could be seen under the brim of his hat. He was scrawny like a twig. It was as if he had suffered a heavy punishment. His scrawny body looked as if it would fall apart at any moment.

"What are you coughing for, stop putting on an act." A middle-aged handsome man wearing a light yellow tight suit coldly berated the Wind Flashing Escort Office.

Towards this kind of killer who killed countless of lives, he had never been merciful. Even though Tomb Keeper looked so miserable, he couldn't get a single bit of sympathy from the man.

Tomb Keeper's voice was like a bellows, in the middle of the crowd, his gloomy and hoarse voice carried a strange tone, which sounded extremely uncomfortable, "This old one really … Cough … Feel yourself... I'm almost at my limit, you guys … "Let me go …"

On the other side, there was a woman wearing a silk dress with a sarcastic look on her face. In her jade-like hand, something was flickering, and the night was shining with a cold light, "You killed my junior brother and sister, yet you want to live. If it weren't for my superior's request to spare your life, you would have already died in my hands."

"Cough, cough …" That makes it all the more important that... Even more so, this old man should stop... Uh, take a break, or else... If I die here, who among you can afford to take on this responsibility? … "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk …"

Tomb Keeper was clearly begging, but he still had a proud smile on his face at the end. Although his laughter was like a bellows that was tearing people's eardrums, it still made people silent and not easy to refute.

That's right, if Tomb Keeper were to die just like that, their escort mission would still be considered a failure.

Otherwise, he would have dealt with it in secret when he captured the Tomb Keeper the day before, there was no need to spend so much effort.

Everyone also understood in their hearts that the reason why the Central Royal Government wanted to catch the Tomb Keeper in secret, other than publicly punishing them, there would definitely be a secret interrogation. Tomb Keeper was the number one assassin organization, and he had already worked hard on the Scarlet Moon for more than twenty years, so no one needed more than that to know just how valuable the information he had obtained would be.

Therefore, the Tomb Keeper could not die.

Isn't it?

"Stop."

In the forest, the middle-aged man with the silver, exquisite, and bright emblem on his shoulder, who was leading the Hanhai Escort Office, stopped in his tracks while waving his hand.

"Nangong, what is the meaning of this?" The woman from the Heavenly Silkworm Escort Office frowned slightly. She looked at the broad and straight back of the man wearing a dark blue tight suit with fine silver armbands and wavy waves on his back. Her expression was somewhat unpleasant.

The other seven immediately came to a halt as well.

After all, this time the leader of the group was the Silver Emblem Escort from the Hanhai Escort Office: Nangong Ocean.

The Silver Emblem Escort King signified eight levels of Star Swallowing Stage, the Stellar Genuine Qi were incomparably dense and its methods were endless. It had to be known that from the fourth level of Star Swallowing Stage, cultivator's Star Nucleus had already transformed into an even larger Star Nucleus, named Giant Star Nucleus. When the seventh level of Star Swallowing Stage starts, the giant Star Nucleus will transform once again, completely condensing into extremely small granules, and the energy essence contained within these granules are countless times greater than that of the giant Star Nucleus, which is the super Star Nucleus!

Even though all of the Escort Kings already had their own super Star Nucleus, as someone at the eighth stage of the Star Swallowing Stage, Nangong Ocean's super Star Nucleus was much stronger than them. A single finger could cause all the plants around them to turn into dust in an instant.

Even though they were from five different escort offices, they would not have any objections with Nangong Zhen serving as the core.2

Just because of a single sentence from the Tomb Keeper?

"Tell me, do you want to rest?"

"I know that you must be exhausted after being tortured. Even an old killer like you would be afraid of death sometimes, but don't forget …"

As she said that, she moved her face closer to Tomb Keeper. Even though Tomb Keeper was wrapped in a loose robe, his entire body was trembling violently, making Tomb Keeper look like he was really scared.

He was afraid of Nangong Ocean!

"As Expert of Star Swallowing Stage and a well-trained assassin, I heard that no matter if they were in the coldest place or in the most scorching heat, without a Stellar Genuine Qi, they could live for three whole months without eating or drinking. But how many days have you endured?"

Tomb Keeper's silvery-yellow eyes began to flee and they began to tremble a little, "This old one, this old one is old … I can't walk, so... Let me take a break. "Then..." "Just for a moment …"

When he said that, not only Nangong Huai, but even the eight Shark Kings guarding him could feel the terror in his words.

This beast that should have died a long time ago had not been afraid even after killing so many people. Now that he knew he could no longer live, he finally felt regret!

She stood behind Tomb Keeper, and her eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at his back. Beside her, there was another man from the Heavenly Silkworm Escort Office who patted her shoulder, and slowly pulled her back to pull her behind him …

"Of course you can."

She turned her wrist and a dagger appeared in her hands. "But resting requires a price. Resting for two minutes and chopping off a finger, I think this punishment is as light as a feather for the sins that you have committed."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to cut down on the dagger!
