Qingluo Shou Gao Fan and Tiejian Ke Zhuo Xianfei were family retainers of the Ying clan of Qinzhou long before the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In recent years, the Ying clan has taken over the Zhou dynasty.
Their status and treatment underwent a dramatic change.
Although it is far less powerful than the Zhou Dynasty at its peak, it still nominally controls the resources of the world.
Their status as retainers was transformed into that of a new generation of royal courtiers.
While resources were being allocated more heavily, they also bore the mission of pursuing and eliminating the remnants of the Ji clan.
Seven days ago, Zuo Qianqiu, the top expert of the Gongfeng Hall, led the two of them and twenty black-clad guards to Tianyun Mountain.
He killed Yan Fengluo, a former general of the Zhou Dynasty, who was living in seclusion at Wu'ai Peak.
Six of the twenty black-clad guards were lying down.
Before leaving, Zuo Qianqiu ordered them to wait for the seriously injured Lü Shengyang and Ji's cub on the only way to Tianyun Mountain's Misty Peak.
I thought that if Lü Shengyang dared to run this way, he would never return.
Unexpectedly, they were outmaneuvered by that old devil and lost five more black-clad guards.
However, if that's all there is to it, it might only make the two of them angry, but it shouldn't pose a significant problem for completing the mission.
Although Lü Shengyang's Pure Yang Qi Gong was powerful, he had not yet reached the Innate Realm. Furthermore, a month ago in Shengjing, he was struck by Zuo Qianqiu's palm, which nearly cost him his life.
How far can you run?
Besides, the same trick can only be used once. If you want to use it a second time, not to mention whether they will fall for it, even rare and powerful hidden weapons like the Iron Pear Blossom are not common.
They really didn't believe that Old Ghost Lü had a second one.
However, an accident occurred during the pursuit of Lü Shengyang.
A burst of rousing song came from an unnamed, towering mountain peak.
Although no longer visible, Lü Shengyang's footprints were still visible, indicating that he had turned towards that mountain peak.
They've seen far too many stories of chivalrous heroes or outlaws suddenly appearing on the street to help the remnants of the Ji clan in recent years.
In this situation, to sing this kind of song, and to appear in this kind of place.
Moreover, the song's power resonated throughout the mountains, causing even the birds to hesitate to land for a long time.
What skill and spirit this singer possesses!
If they weren't on a mission to hunt down the Ji clan, Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei would have really wanted to get to know such a person.
But now.
The two sighed inwardly, fearing they were about to face another formidable enemy.
I had a duty to fulfill and dared not back down. I had to at least make an appearance, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and catch up.
...
Wu You, Lü Shengyang, and Ji Haoxuan remained silent, gazing quietly down the mountain.
Before long, a large group of people came down from the mountain and arrived at the top.
There were 11 people who came.
The two leaders were dressed as a handsome middle-aged scholar in a blue robe and a full-body white outfit, carrying an iron sword.
Behind them were nine guards dressed in black soft armor.
...
Wu You's gaze darted back and forth between the two groups of people arriving from the front and back, his mind wandering aimlessly.
What's going on here?
How embarrassing! I wanted to say I was just passing by, okay?
It was Qingluo Shou Gao Fan who broke the silence first.
"May I ask your esteemed name and which sect you belong to? These two are wanted criminals of the imperial court. I hope you will not make a mistake!"
This statement was both a probe into Wu You's capabilities and a display of strength.
"Hmph, wanted criminals of the imperial court, what a huge label! A bunch of rebels overthrew the country, causing widespread suffering and death, and they dare to claim to be the legitimate rulers!"
Before Wu You could speak, Lü Shengyang spoke first.
"The brave man I just heard singing must be a righteous hero."
"Now that things have come to this, I no longer need to hide it. I am Lü Shengyang, a court attendant of the Great Zhou Imperial Court."
Lu Shengyang placed his hand on Ji Haoxuan's shoulder.
"This boy is Ji Haoxuan, a direct descendant of the Great Zhou royal family. I hope that you, brave warrior, will be righteous enough to save him. I will repay you even if it means my death!"
As he spoke, Lü Shengyang knelt down before Wu You, seemingly unaware that this action meant he was completely unprepared for Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei.
Seeing an elderly man kneeling before him, Wu You seemed somewhat at a loss, wanting to help him up but being too far away.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Zhuo Xianfei gave Gao Fan a look.
Great opportunity!
Lu Shengyang actually turned his back to them and made a kneeling motion to beg for help.
Even if this young man is highly skilled in martial arts, he still needs time to react.
Gao Fan's nickname in the martial arts world, "Green Luo Hand," is not only because he likes to wear green robes, but also because of his superb skill in using hidden weapons.
As long as Lü Shengyang and Ji Haoxuan are dead, this man in front of me will probably not fight the imperial court to the death.
...
Gao Fan's arms trembled slightly, releasing several hidden weapons from the pockets in his sleeves, his wrists brimming with power.
He flicked his long sleeves with both hands.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
In the blink of an eye, two rows of poisoned steel darts, arranged in a plum blossom pattern, whistled through the air towards Lü Shengyang and Ji Haoxuan.
...
Lu Shengyang is gambling, risking his own life and Ji Haoxuan's.
In any world, as long as it is not completely morally depraved, the elderly and children are always very sympathetic.
really.
Wu You saw that the scholar in blue robes behind him had actually resorted to dirty tricks.
It was almost an instinctive urge to stop them.
At this moment, Wu You was in a state of supernatural power, with auditory perception and dynamic vision beyond human capabilities.
In Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei's view, he was too far away to be of any help.
Wu You could even see the corners of their mouths slowly curving upwards.
...
Did you think I was helpless because of this?
A thought crossed my mind.
Instantly, tiny sparks of electricity appeared on the surface of those steel darts.
Lightning flashed on the right side.
"Ding ding ding..."
All the darts were drawn to Wu You's right hand by the strong electromagnetic field, and he grabbed them in his hand.
...
Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei, including the black-clad guards behind them, and even Lü Shengyang and Ji Haoxuan.
They all stared in shock at Wu You's hands.
Retrieve items remotely!
Lu Shengyang had considered that Wu You would use his sword to block him, that he would use his palm strike to block him from a distance, that he would also throw a hidden weapon to intercept him, and even that Wu You would not be able to react in time and would die by using his body to block the hidden weapon for Ji Haoxuan.
Of course, Wu You was also considered standing idly by.
But no one expected that Wu You would actually be able to use telekinesis.
Moreover, it was a dart thrown by Qingluo!
I thought I would meet a master with innate talent who was willing to help me out.
Unexpectedly, the other party might be a grandmaster.
...
A few drops of cold sweat quietly dripped down Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei's cheeks.
The black-clad guards dared not move at all.
Retrieving objects from a distance is one of the manifestations of extremely high levels of internal skill.
In today's world, there are no more than twenty people who can do this, and each of them is a pivotal figure in the top powers.
This is not the time of global strife that was a decade or two ago.
At that time, all the major forces would send out their best experts, and top-level competition was not uncommon.
But now that the world has been quiet for several years, the sudden appearance of such an unknown person is truly surprising.
What I've generally heard of is taking objects from a distance, but I've never heard of it being able to cut off a hidden weapon.
Since the other party has taken action, it means they intend to accept the task.
What to do? Fight or retreat?
Although Zuo Qianqiu left seven days ago, he did not return to Shengjing. Instead, he did not want to wait in vain and went to find a place to practice his skills.
The distance isn't too close, but it's not too far either.
If we send a signal now, can we hold out until Zuo Qianqiu arrives?
For a moment, Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei were torn between their inner thoughts!
