How could their conversation escape the notice of King Liang? He couldn't help but sneer, "Well, I didn't believe it when someone said the Chu family harbored rebellious intentions, but now it seems the Red Robe Army is really about to turn the world upside down."
Zuan quickly said, "You don't need to interfere in this matter. Quickly return to the Chu family to protect the master and mistress. This is an order!"
Zheng Dan and Xie Daoyun, being women, were unwilling to bring trouble to their families, so how could he, a dignified man, implicate others?
After saying that, he didn't wait for the other person to react, and immediately rushed outside with a light tap of his toes.
Although he didn't want to implicate the Chu family, it was impossible for him to surrender without resistance!
As soon as he moved, two pitch-black iron chains suddenly appeared before him. They were being swung very fast, yet they made no sound at all. Especially now that night had fallen, they added an eerie touch to the darkness.
Startled, he quickly lightly touched the ground with his toes, abruptly changing his trajectory to dodge to the side.
Before he could even stand up straight, two more iron chains silently swung over and wrapped around his feet.
He rolled over lazily and dodged it in a very embarrassing manner.
Then six more iron chains shot out from all directions, attacking his limbs, waist, and neck, blocking every possible way to dodge.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zu'an hurriedly took out his Tai'a sword and slashed at the six iron chains.
Bang bang bang!
The sword chains clashed, and bursts of sparks erupted. Despite the sharpness of the Tai'a sword, it failed to cut through the iron chains, only creating bursts of fire in the darkness.
He felt a numbness in his hand and his internal energy was churning.
Taking advantage of this moment, they also saw the attackers clearly. It turned out to be the ten warriors who had been following King Liang. Each of them wore clothes that were clearly different from ordinary soldiers. The sleeves, collars, and hems of their clothes were embroidered with a unicorn pattern. They had learned from Shang Liuyu's lesson that this was the mythical beast Xie Zhi, which is said to have the ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil.
Each of these warriors held a black iron chain, which was now swaying precariously, as if it were about to attack again at any moment.
King Liang was somewhat surprised: "To think that you could evade the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation of the Embroidered-Robed Envoy is truly unexpected."
"An embroidered-robed envoy?" Sang Qian, who was standing to the side, was also shocked and looked at his father for advice.
Sang Hong said in a deep voice, "The Embroidered-Robe Envoys are the Emperor's secret warriors. Each of them possesses unique skills and can act on behalf of the Emperor. Although they are constables in a sense, they are above the court's judicial system. This time, the Emperor sent them to Prince Liang, thinking they were there to deal with my father and me, but it turns out they were there to deal with someone else."
