Right now, the assassin had already alarmed his Chuan Country, so trying to sneak into the palace would be asking for his life, not to mention how many Spiritual Martial Expert s there were in the palace, just Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan would be enough to take his life.

This was what he thought in his heart, but Tang Yin did not say it out loud. He pondered for a moment, and pretended to be worried as he said faintly: "Then why ? "It's unknown!"

Hearing that, Xiao Xuan's heart was even more uncertain, his face darkened, and said to the guard in a deep voice: Immediately summon General Guan Ning and General Yu Qing to meet Gu! "Go quickly!"

Guan Ning was the Defence Minister of the Chuan Country, and Yu Qing was the first lieutenant. Of the two, one was in charge of the palace's security, and the other was in charge of the city's security.

The guard hastily interjected, "Yes! "Great King!"

Xiao Xuan summoned Guan Ning and Yu Qing, and ordered the latter to strengthen the guards of the palace, especially to guard against the infiltration of the Spirit Cultivator of Dark. In addition, he ordered Yu Qing to search the whole city for the culprits who killed Wu Cong, Madam Zhi Rong and Rong.

By the time he had finished, both Guan Ning and Yu Qing had already ordered for him to leave, but Xiao Xuan still did not feel at ease. Before he found out who the was, it was as if a sharp blade was hanging over his head, swinging back and forth, ready to stab him to death at any time.

Xiao Xuan sat in the middle of the great hall and helplessly laughed at Tang Yin who was at his side: "Guang Xuanling sent people to hide by Gu's side first, and then when the matter is exposed, he sent people to kill the spies.

Tang Yin gave a bland laugh, and said: "This is also Guang Xuanling's usual style of doing things. He never leaves any flaws or gives any truth to anyone, so up until now, he is safe and sound, and is still sitting profound strength's Holy King!"

Xiao Xuan nodded, Guang Xuanling was truly powerful! He asked, "Then... Where would the assassin be hiding? He definitely hasn't left the Zhaoyang yet. Little Brother Wang, where do you think he's hiding in the Zhaoyang? "

Haven't you left yet? Tang Yin did not think so. Since he had completed the mission, he reckoned that the person had already run away. How could he still take the risk of leaving behind his Zhaoyang? Unless he still had a mission. He shook his head and said, "God knows."

The Earth Temple of Zhaoyang, Outer City, and South City.

This Earth Temple was located in the southern outskirts of Outer City and had been in ruins for a long time. The interior and exterior of the temple were overgrown with withered grass, and the windows and doors had long since rotted away.

The idol in the temple was still intact, but its original color could no longer be seen. Its entire body was a hazy gray with many spiderwebs hanging from it.

Late at night, a person's shadow suddenly appeared in the empty temple. He came without a sound or trace, and was shrouded in darkness like a ghost.

He stood inside the temple, constantly looking around. While he was watching, a person walked out from behind the statue. It was a woman.

"How did you get here? I have already waited here for you for nearly an hour. " The woman walked around the deity statue and arrived in front of the black shadow. Then, she turned around, took out a paper roll, and lit up a small part of the candle in the shrine.

"The streets and alleys in the city are filled with officers and guards, so we were delayed for a bit." The black shadow whispered as it stared at her back.

The girl picked up the candlestick and turned around, revealing a delicate and pretty face. She asked, "You've already killed Madam Zhirong and Rongrong, why are you still staying in Zhaoyang?"

The black shadow shook his head slowly and said, "My mission is not completed yet."

"Holy King only wants you to kill two people!"

"But that doesn't include Rongji." The black shadow sighed lightly, and said: "She couldn't stand the torture that People of Chuan Country caused, so she begged me to kill her."

The woman was startled, but then she carefully asked: "Then ? Who was the other person Holy King wanted you to kill? Could it be the Feng King? "

The black shadow shook his head once again, and said: "It's Xiao Xiang!"

"Red Sleeve Princess?" The woman's body trembled as she asked, "Why? Why did the Holy King want to kill the Red Sleeve Princess? "

The black figure said expressionlessly: "Holy King only says that King Chuan's body is not as strong as it was before, and Xiao Xiang is the one who is most likely to inherit the throne of the Chuan Country. Holy King does not wish for the future King Chuan to be a woman."

The woman lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she asked, "You ?" You intend to infiltrate the palace? "

The black shadow asked: "Is there any other way to get close to Xiao Xiang?"

"You are courting death!" The woman said anxiously: "King Chuan Palace has always been a heavily guarded place, and now that you have alarmed the Chuan Country, how could I not be on guard. If you go, only death awaits you!"

"You should know that I cannot disobey Holy King's orders!"

"Even if it cost me my life?"

"Yes sir!" The man in black answered straightforwardly.

"But do you know that Holy King is just ?" At this point, the woman suddenly stopped and looked at him with a complex expression.

The man in black lifted his head and looked at the woman in confusion. "What is it?"

"So you came here to throw away your life!" The woman steeled her heart, took two steps forward, approached the black clothed man, and said seriously: "Do you know what Holy King sent me here for?"

"Aren't you here to pick me up?"

"Not really!" The woman shook her head and said: "Holy King said, once you fall into the hands of the People of Chuan Country, I can find a chance to get rid of you!"

The black clothed man's body visibly trembled as he stared at her, his expression changing indeterminately. After an unknown period of time, he shook his head repeatedly, and his low voice unconsciously became louder, saying, "Impossible! Holy King would never do that! "

"Do you think I'd lie to you?"

"This... There must be a misunderstanding! "

"Misunderstanding? Yes, it was a misunderstanding. You misunderstood what Holy King was thinking of you from the very beginning. You thought that Holy King trusted you and wanted to use you as a weapon, but you were wrong. " The woman sneered: "Do you know how Holy King told me?"

The black-clothed man's eyes were dull. He looked at the girl for a long time without any response.

The woman continued, "Holy King said that Spirit Cultivator s cannot be trusted!"

Hearing this, the man in black's head buzzed as if he had been struck by a baton in a defenseless manner. His body swayed and his legs went weak. He involuntarily took a step back while shaking his head. "Impossible, this is impossible ?"

"You know, I've never lied to you, and... I don't even have the guts to slander Holy King. "

The woman let out a long sigh, walked up to him, held his hand emotionally, and said gently: "Night, let's go. Leave this place, leave the Divine Pool, leave the Holy King, and go to a place where no one can find us. There's only you and me!"

The black clothed man acted as if he did not hear her words. He shook her hand off and took a few steps back, then suddenly started laughing out loud. He laughed madly and said, "You can't be trusted, haha, you can't be trusted. Back then ? Out of those hundreds of brothers who suffered from the Fire of Darkness's backlash, I was the only one who survived. And now you say that I can't be trusted, haha, Yue'er, do you think this is too laughable? "Haha ?"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, the tears of the man in black flowed down his face.

The woman walked up quickly and hugged him involuntarily. With a trembling voice, she called out, "Night ?" As she called, her tears also began to fall.

But now, all of this was broken. For the sake of the Holy King, he could take the risk of being counterattacked by the Fire of Darkness to become the, and for the sake of the Holy King, he could kill without thinking, and do all sorts of shady things that could not be exposed in public, but in the end, all she got in return was for the Holy King saying 'You can't trust me'. The pain in his heart could be imagined.

Seeing him laugh and cry, she felt heartache and hugged him even more tightly.

When he felt the warmth in front of his chest, he woke up with a start. He looked down and saw that the woman's tears had soaked his clothes to the brim. He finally stopped laughing, raised his head to the sky, and muttered: "How can you treat me like this?"

"Night, let's go!" The woman wiped the tears off her face as she sobbed.

"Go?" Where can we go? " He took a deep breath and said: "Feng Ren hates me, People of Chuan Country hates me, and Holy King will not let me go either. Where else can I go?"

The lady frowned, her eyes moved, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she anxiously said: "You can go to Feng Country, and find Feng King for protection! At that time, you were only following orders when you chased Elder Huangfu and Elder Jin, so it is likely that Feng King will not blame you. Furthermore, you are the same as Feng King, and you are also a, so Feng King will definitely use it for you ? "

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, the black clothed man shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It is precisely because I am a that Feng King would never accept me. Seeing her confusion, he forced a smile and said: "Have you ever heard of a mountain that can hold two tigers?"

The woman was silent. What he said wasn't unreasonable. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Ye, what do you plan to do?"

The black clothed man smiled bitterly, and said: "To complete the mission that I have yet to complete. This, is also the last thing I will do for the Holy King."

"But if you do that, you will die!"

"It doesn't matter anymore ?" He had lost the desire to live.

Seeing that his heart was at death's door, the woman said in a trembling voice, "Ye, at least you still have me."1

The black-clothed man lowered his head to look at her, his eyes revealing a pained and helpless expression.

They had nowhere to run? The current world was the world of Feng Country And Chuan Country, and he could not let either of these two nations live under his control. Besides, he did not know how many spies the Holy King had in their midst.

If he took her with him, their final fate would only be death. Rather than that, it would be better if he sacrificed himself. That way, at least she wouldn't be implicated and could live on.
