In a hidden forest not far from the exit of the Spirit Valley stood four brawny men wearing black tights and black masks. Judging from their clothing, they looked exactly the same as the man in black clothes Wu Guang had seen earlier.

Suddenly, the gazes of the four men in black turned towards the distant sky.

Following which, a black streak of light shakily flew through the air and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust in the midst of the black clothed men's shock.

When the four black-clothed men saw this, they immediately rushed over, only to see that there was another black-clothed person lying in the pit.

"Number Five, why are you like this? Is there any trouble?" A black clothed man who looked like a leader said, his tone revealing a trace of dissatisfaction.

The black-clothed man who was called Number Five in the pit stood up, coughed fiercely a few times, and then anxiously shouted: "Number One, we have been discovered. Quickly leave this place, and the news of the Xuanyuan Imperial Bloodline is real.

Number One was surprised to hear Number Five's words, but then his expression turned serious. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Quick, set up the teleportation formation!"

In the blink of an eye, the four people had already surrounded Number One and were constantly forming seals in their hands. A string of obscure symbols quietly appeared in the surroundings and a wave of air that could be seen with the naked eye slowly spread out in all directions, causing the masks of the black-clothed people to flutter.

"You also know how to set up teleportation arrays. It looks like I've underestimated you. However, since you've all come, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" A loud shout suddenly rang out in the air. When Number One who was in the middle of forming the seal heard this voice, his eyes suddenly widened. A mouthful of blood rushed up his throat, but was forcefully swallowed down.

"Who exactly are they? "So powerful!" Number One was trembling in fear as beads of perspiration the size of beans streaked across his forehead.

However, although Number One was panicking, his hand speed did not slow down. On the contrary, it became faster, because this was not only related to his life, but also his mission. The other black-clothed men had also suffered serious internal injuries, but they were all like Number One, not daring to slow down.

But at the next moment, a red pillar of light suddenly attacked, instantly interrupting the black-clothed people's movements.

Afterwards, at the source of the light beam, Wu Zhan's figure slowly appeared in the air, and around him stood a group of guards in golden armor.

Before coming to Xuanyuan Spirit Valley to carry out their mission, they had also done some preparations, so they naturally recognized this person as the Xuanyuan family's waiting clan head. At the same time, he was also the Ling Dynasty's personally conferred Marquis Xuanyuan, and his cultivation was unfathomable, even higher than the four generals of the imperial city! It was no wonder that just a single sound from him could cause him to sustain minor injuries.

Wu Zhan held his sword high in the air and said with his hands behind his back, "You actually have the nerve to show off your little trick in front of me? To dare to trespass into the Xuanyuan Spirit Valley, he must have quite the guts, but! I'm more curious about how you guys managed to get in here! "

Number One licked her dry lips and forced a smile, "Marquis Xuanyuan is indeed worthy of his reputation. However, we are the emperor's secret bodyguards …" After Number One finished speaking, he also felt a bit of regret. In the eyes of others, the Human Emperor's secret guards were nothing. Moreover, not just anyone could enter this Xuanyuan Spirit Valley.

Sure enough, after Number One said this, Wu Zhan only disdainfully smiled.

"Since you dare to come, you must be mentally prepared!" Wu Zhan suddenly exploded forth with a scarlet red broadsword in his hand, slashing towards the black-clothed men. Number 1 did not dare to hesitate and immediately shouted to the other four: "Quick, form the formation!"

Upon seeing Wu Zhan charge forward, the rest of the golden armored guards also launched their attacks.

Following that was the sound of metal clashing …

After a long while, Wu Zhan stood on the ground and tore a bloody cloth to wipe off the blood on his sabre. At this moment, the five corpses of the black clothed men were neatly lying on the ground in front of him.

"Patriarch, what should we do next?" A gold-armored guard stood beside Wu Zhan and asked respectfully.

Wu Zhan didn't reply, he only stared blankly at the jade token on the ground before a black ray of light appeared in the sky. It was Wu Guang, and Wu Guang was holding onto one of the wooden swords.

"Take these corpses to the Soulcaster. Someone will tell you what to do there." Wu Guang said to the golden armored guard as soon as he arrived. The guard nodded his head, saluted, and left with the other guards and the five corpses.

"Patriarch, do you have any leads?" Wu Guang said to the stunned Wu Zhan.

As for the clues, they don't have much yet. It's just that Xuanyuan Spirit Valley does not have permission so outsiders cannot come in, and these few people would not be able to come in without the help of the people from the valley. However, this is just my guess, after all, I do not wish for the clan to have someone like this.

"In other words, inside the Spirit Valley! Is there a traitor? " Wu Guang's face darkened, and the space around him became dark along with his mood.

"Leave this matter to me. I know what to do. Hmph, if you dare to betray me, then you must be mentally prepared!" Wu Zhan sneered, then he suddenly shattered the jade tablet on the ground, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke as if to himself: "The purple eyes on Xuan'er must not be known by the Human Emperor! Looks like I have to start with people who have met Zi Tong. "

Wu Guang also sighed, frowning as he stared blankly at the wooden sword in his hand.

At the same time, in the depths of an enormous palace thousands of kilometers away, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered robe sat on the golden dragon throne. He stared angrily at a pile of shattered jade plates on the table in front of him.

On both sides of the table stood a row of black robed guards. However, at this moment, none of them dared to breathe out, afraid that they would offend the colorfully robed man.

"Go get Ghastly Kill for me, go quickly!" The colorful-robed man suddenly waved his sleeve, and the guards on the side immediately ran out as if they had been released from a burden.

Along with his anger, an invisible pressure quietly spread out in the air, and the table made of thousand year black jade in front of him actually turned into powder. When the guards on both sides saw this scene, they lowered their heads, and beads of sweat dripped down their faces.

Very quickly, a person wrapped in a blood-red robe appeared in front of the table. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, may I ask why Your Majesty summoned me?"

"There's no need to investigate further if we're going to Xuanyuan County. It doesn't matter if you flip over Xuanyuan Spirit Valley for me or not. Find that royal vein for this emperor. Kill whoever it is!" The colorful-robed man was infuriated. With another palm strike, cracks appeared in the space around him. It was a truly terrifying attack.

"Understood!" The man named Ghastly Kill, upon seeing this scene, hurriedly retreated. Following that, the colorful-robed male also left with a face full of anger.

"You dare to kill my men? You'd better be mentally prepared."
