"Has anything strange happened in the capital recently...?"
Seeing the cat demon beauty in front of him looking at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, Yan Quan quickly changed the subject and casually patted Hua Keshu's soft head.
Originally, finding that old woman was supposed to be done with Chu Ruoxue's help, but now that cunning junior sister isn't around.
Moreover, the events that occurred on the Black Cloud Continent made it impossible for him to ascertain Bai Miaomiao's true identity, so there was no need for him to rashly seek her out.
It would be helpful to first visit the headquarters of the Extraterrestrial Alliance in the capital to learn more about the situation.
"I don't know either... Hehehe, it feels so good... I haven't been there in a long time because it's not fun at all, hehe."
Hua Keshu's delicate face instantly brightened, and she leaned closer to Yan Quan.
"Alright, you can go now. I have to go over there. Here's your payment."
Yan Quan stopped what he was doing and took out a bag of spirit stones.
"Hmm...why stop?"
I don't lack spirit stones, why would I help you? Are you pretending not to know?
Since you're going over there, I'll definitely go too, since you're my advisor now.
This time, I won't let you go.
Hua Keshu muttered something under her breath and then pointed her serious little hand directly at Yan Quan.
"Who rose to power in the same way as you?"
Yan Quan shook his head and sat back down.
"By the way, Heli, what about the boat tickets to Shuitiandu tomorrow? Have you bought them yet?"
"Of course, whatever the boss ordered..."
Fox Heli said earnestly, but was interrupted halfway through by the wary silver-haired kitten girl in front of her.
"Ignore her, we'll go to Shuitian City today. Keshu, you go back first, I'll come find you after I get to the capital, otherwise your guards will follow us soon."
Yan Quan casually dismissed Hua Keshu, who was looking at Hu Heli with hostility, and released the magical barrier.
"No, no, you can't stay with the fox anymore!"
They've all corrupted you..."
Hua Keshu's beautiful eyes filled with tears as she tugged at Yan Quan's clothes and shook him repeatedly.
"...Wait, wait, let's deal with other things first."
Yan Quan sighed. Although his vision kept swaying from side to side, he still noticed something unusual.
"Boss, who are these people...?"
Seeing the many masked black-clad demons suddenly appear around her, Hu Heli raised her long sword and stood in front of her on guard.
Could it be those enemies in the demon realm that the boss was talking about?
"They probably didn't come looking for me."
Yan Quan looked at Hua Keshu helplessly and said.
"Hmm... I... I didn't expect that someone would actually dare to assassinate me."
Besides, isn't it your job to protect me?
Hua Keshu stuck out her tongue and hid behind Yan Quan.
"No one present should be left alive!"
A one-eyed, masked demon standing on a high-rise building gave a soft shout, and immediately the surrounding black-clad demons scattered and began slaughtering the surrounding demon civilians.
"Bang!"
Fox Heli brandished her long sword and engaged in battle with the group that had come forward to test them. The aftershocks shattered the surrounding wooden buildings into pieces.
Judging from the intensity of their entanglement, the newcomers were all highly skilled.
Moreover, the leaders all seemed to be at the late stage of the Heavenly Void Realm.
"The only people who can train a Deadpool assassin of this caliber are probably those who are contenders for the throne, right?"
Where are your guards? If they don't come soon, things could get really tricky.
As Yan Quan spoke, he pulled Hua Keshu aside to avoid the flying pieces of wood.
"I...I ran away here secretly, I didn't tell anyone..."
Hua Ke lowered her two cat ears, as if afraid of being blamed by Yan Quan.
"Sigh... Well, it seems I didn't think this through. Let's retreat for now."
Yan Quan stood up and helped Hu Heli, who had been knocked away, and forced back several black-clad assassins who continued to advance. Then he transmitted his voice to the two of them.
"Form ranks! No one can escape here today. Take out the recording stone and let the master see how we torture this little kitten, hahaha..."
The burly bear demon at the head of the group laughed loudly. He concentrated his strength and stomped his foot, causing the surrounding ground to crack instantly. Many boulders flew towards Yan Quan and the others at an extremely fast speed.
"...If you dare to open the recording stone, none of you will survive."
After a cloud of dust settled, Yan Quan, dressed in black, slowly walked out, sword in hand, and spoke.
When he saw a tall, thin assassin above him take out a gleaming round stone, his eyes instantly turned cold.
I didn't want to cause any trouble, but now it seems that if I don't deal with these people properly, I'll be in even more trouble.
"Ahhhhh, my hand..."
In just a moment, the tall, thin assassin's arm was severed from his body. When everyone looked closely, they saw that Yan Quan was still standing in the same spot, holding the small ball of light in his hand, which he easily crushed.
"Lang Liu, Lang Ba, let's go together and take care of this guy. Don't linger too long, or we'll attract others and cause a bad influence on our lord."
The rest of the group dealt with the fox spirit and Hua Keshu.
The black-clad, masked demon standing at the very top spoke to the bear demon and the female demon beside him on the ground. For a moment, the three demon assassins at the late stage of the Heavenly Void Realm were locked in a stalemate with Yan Quan.
