Inside the Zhao family manor, Xu Suiyan looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed: "Strange, why haven't Brother Kong and Brother Guo arrived yet? That shouldn't be the case."
He contacted his friends who had accompanied him out of the Holy Land or the subordinates arranged by his father, Xu Rong, but neither Kong Mubai nor Guo Xuanwu had made a move yet.
A sense of unease suddenly settled over me.
It seems that since arriving in Chang'an, many things have not gone as smoothly as before.
Suddenly, Gu Qianqiu exclaimed, "It's Guo Xuanwu!"
Not far away, a burly and bold figure came stepping through the air.
The moment he landed, a valiant man of about forty years old, dressed in a black swordsman's robe, with a resolute face, cupped his hands and smiled at Xu Suiyan, saying, "Young Master, we've finally found you."
"Brother Guo, we've been waiting for you!" Xu Suiyan breathed a sigh of relief and became exceptionally warm. "Did you encounter any unexpected events on your journey?"
Guo Xuanwu waved his hand: "It's nothing. I just met a few young women who had gone astray and needed help on the way. I just offered them some warmth."
Upon hearing this, everyone narrowed their eyes, naturally understanding the implication.
Guo Xuanwu was extremely lecherous; he couldn't live a day without women. The worst part was that he liked to indulge in debauchery in the streets and even wanted everyone to come and watch.
Once the matter is over, he will not hesitate to kill everyone, including the onlookers.
Guo Xuanwu glanced around, his brow furrowing slightly. "Strange, where are Brother Pei, Brother Huang, Brother Kong, and Brother Chu? Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Suiyan's face showed sadness, and he sighed softly, "Uncle Pei, Uncle Huang, and Brother Chu and the others are all gone."
"What happened, Your Highness? What exactly happened?"
Guo Xuanwu was shocked; three of the Ten Kings had died at once, something he had never expected.
"Here's what happened."
Xu Suiyan then explained the matter to Guo Xuanwu.
After hearing this, he was immediately furious: "This is truly outrageous! I never imagined that cultivators outside the Holy Domain would be so lacking in martial ethics, resorting to such despicable and unorthodox methods!"
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be left unresolved; we must avenge them."
"This is bad!"
Suddenly, behind Xu Suiyan, Ruan Lingyue looked at the horoscope in her hand and said, "Brother Kong's life force has dissipated."
Xu Suiyan and the others were greatly surprised upon hearing this.
In other words, four of the Ten Kings have already died...
"Your Highness, this journey is fraught with peril. We should return to the Holy Realm as soon as possible."
Xu Suiyan pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I, Xu Suiyan, have never believed in any gods or ghosts. Since we've come to the Eastern Region..."
"I must complete whatever my father asks me to do; otherwise, I will absolutely not back down even a step."
Guo Xuanwu said, "Since the young master has said so, we will naturally risk our lives to accompany you. Tell us, young master, what do you need us to do?"
Xu Suiyan said, "Brother Guo, you, Brother Gu, and Brother Sun, go and deal with those three murderers who killed Brother Chu. I, Physician Ruan, will go to Yaochi to find Jiang Qingluan first."
But Brother Guo, you must be careful. Those three never play by the rules; don't fall into their trap.
Guo Xuanwu: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. However, I, Guo, act with integrity and uprightness, so why should I fear those conspiracies and schemes?"
"Your Highness, please go and attend to your own affairs. I will personally kill those three murderers to avenge Brother Chu!"
Gu Qianqiu and Sun Yushu also nodded vigorously.
"Then I'll have to trouble you three. I'm extremely grateful!"
Xu Suiyan bowed deeply to the group to express his gratitude.
"We are honored to serve the Crown Prince!"
After returning Xu Suiyan's greetings and bidding him farewell, Guo Xuanwu, Gu Qianqiu, and Sun Yushu embarked on their path of revenge against Liang Hao and his two companions.
At this moment, Liang Hao stood with his hands behind his back in front of a teahouse on the outskirts of Chang'an.
After a long while, he pointed at the four people in front of him, finally losing his temper: "Hey guys, have you had enough? If not, can't you let me leave first?"
There were four people ahead: Fahai and Linghu Ming.
The other two are Lee Min-shuang and Ja Hae.
One of them was tracking Linghu Ming, while the other was trying to bring the three of them back to Chunyang Palace to apologize.
By sheer coincidence, they met at a teahouse in the suburbs of Chang'an.
“Amitabha, Benefactor Li, please do not make trouble. I have already promised Pure Yang Zhenren that I will take a few young friends back to accept their punishment. A monk does not lie and must keep his word.”
“Master, I don’t care if you take the others with you, but if my disciple loses even a single hair today, then my sword, Li Minshuang’s sword, will make you experience what it means to wish you were dead.”
"Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor Li, do you truly intend to fight me to the death?"
"Master, I advise you to reconsider. I don't care about the others, but you absolutely cannot take Linghu Ming with you."
"Damn it, do you think I'm made of paper? We're both second-rank emperors. If I weren't mindful that taking action would harm the lives of the people of Chang'an, I would have to show you what I'm made of today."
"Bald monk, don't think you're something just because I've given you a little respect. You'll have to see if you have the strength to actually fight back."
"Amitabha! Since Benefactor Li is so persistent, then I must test my skills against you today."
"Okay, come on."
The two immediately abandoned Fahai and Linghu Ming, and stood firmly in the void.
The moment Fahai and Linghu Ming escaped, they immediately gave Liang Hao a wink.
"Take advantage of the moment and run!"
Just as Liang Hao was about to unleash the Kunpeng Feather, Li Minshuang and Cihai simultaneously used their imperial might to lock the three of them inside the barrier.
"Don't even think about running away."
The two Emperor Realm cultivators shouted in unison.
Then they faced off, each about ten paces apart.
