C429 One Night Was Peaceful
"Crown Prince has good hearing. We thought we had hidden it well enough, but we didn't expect His Highness to see through us. I am ashamed. "
The four of them walked in leisurely from outside the door. All of them wore masks of evil spirits, which made them look very gloomy and terrifying under the moonlight. Hearing Mu Han's words, one of the men wearing an Asura mask immediately replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's pretty good to hide it. However, if I can hide my killing intent a little bit more, it will be even more perfect. " Mu Han said and revealed a smile, but it disappeared in an instant. He said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me you haven't noticed that the killing intent here is so dense that it makes people breathless?"
"So that's how it is. " The man wearing the Asura mask nodded slightly and said with a smile. "I will remember it, but unfortunately. . . "
The Asura man paused for a moment and his voice suddenly became extremely cold. "You don't have a chance to see it anymore!"
Before he finished his words, the four of them moved at the same time. Their powerful cultivation base was fully displayed at this moment. Four overbearing Qi fields instantly covered the entire inn. As the strong wind whistled, the four of them shot towards Mu Han like four arrows that had left the bow. The speed of their attacks was so fast that no one could even think of resisting.
"Heh, even though you are all Mid Period of Attack Stopping Stage warriors, do you think you can only rely on your cultivation base to suppress others like this?"
Mu Han immediately snorted disdainfully when he saw this scene. Immediately, he took a few steps back in a calm manner. He laughed coldly. "In that case, don't blame me for being immoral. Come out!"
Before he finished his words, an even more powerful fluctuation was transmitted over. This caused the Asura man and the others to subconsciously shiver. At this moment, their outstretched hands were less than three feet away from Mu Han. Just as they were about to kill Mu Han with a single strike, four figures suddenly appeared around Mu Han in a ghostly manner. The Shura man and the others struck out with their palms at lightning speed, instantly sending them flying away. Then, he fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a moment. It was clear that their injuries were not light. It was clear who was stronger!
"Four. . . Four Shadow Guards!!"
The Shura man said with a trembling voice. Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still feel the fear on his face. He struggled to get up from the ground. Without hesitation, the Shura man ran away.
"The information was wrong. We've been fooled. Retreat!"
Immediately, the other three men began to move. Like burning eyebrows, they rushed out of the inn. Upon seeing this, the four Shadow Guards curled their lips and a trace of disdain flashed across their eyes.
A few breaths later, the four Shadow Guards captured the fleeing Asura man and the rest. They knelt in front of Mu Han and waited for him to speak.
"I will only ask you one question. If you answer too slowly or simply don't answer, die!"
Mu Han coldly glanced at the four of them. He revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said, "Who sent you here?"
"One. "
" Two. "
At this moment, Mu Han's voice had turned completely cold. Just as he was about to count to three, the Shura man suddenly said in a panic, "It's. . . It's Martial Prince!"
Mu Han's body swayed. After a brief moment of shock, he slowly drew his sword. After three sword strikes, three heads fell to the ground. Only the Shura man was left kneeling there trembling.
"I'll say it again. Say it again. Who sent you here?"
Mu Han asked with an expressionless face. He didn't know that his current appearance was even more terrifying than the devils in hell, and it sent chills down one's spine just by looking at him.
"Crown Prince. Calm down. It was the Martial King who sent us here. All of this was his idea. With the heavens and earth as the witness, the sun and moon can be seen. We definitely didn't intend to harm you. We really. . . We were truly forced into a corner! "
The Asura man was clearly frightened out of his wits, kneeling on the ground and continuously kowtowing.
"Martial King, huh. . . "
Mu Han's expression suddenly changed. Seeing this, the Shura man secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, the tip of the sword pierced through his throat. The Shura man fell down with unwillingness.
"Your Highness, you. . . "
Four Shadow Guards was puzzled by what he did. They thought that this man would be able to get more valuable information from him, but they didn't expect Mu Han to kill this man so easily. Wasn't this cutting off the clues?
Mu Han shook his head lightly. A trace of loneliness flashed across his face as he said, "There's nothing much to ask. Everything is just as you all think. We all know what we are doing. Why do you need to find the answer?"
After saying that, Mu Han let out a long sigh. He took the lead and went upstairs. His back looked desolate, as if he had lost his soul. Obviously, the Shura man's words had dealt him a heavy blow.
Gu Xing and the others couldn't bear it anymore. They could understand his current feelings. After all, he was their biological brother, a mother. They should have been extremely close to each other, but now, he was willing to kill his brother for the sake of the throne. It was truly a heartbreaking thing.
"Mr Mu, is he alright?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Han worriedly. Her concern was obvious.
Chen Che sighed and said, "Let him be alone. After all, no matter who it was, I'm afraid that it will be hard to accept it in a short period of time. "
"Your Highness has always doted on the Martial King the most. It's hateful that not only did the Martial King not appreciate your kindness, he even went against you all the time. This time, he even tried to kill you. He has gone too far!"
Upon seeing this, one of the people from the four Shadow Guards immediately felt injustice for Mu Han. However, he was scolded by the leader of the group, the Azure Dragon. Only then did he unwillingly shut his mouth and retreated to the side.
The Azure Dragon said, "It's already late. Please rest early as well. We still have to wake up early tomorrow so that we won't lose our energy when the time comes. "
Hearing this, Gu Xing and the others hurriedly cupped their hands in response. The four Shadow Guards immediately disappeared in a flash.
The night was peaceful, but when Mu Han woke up early, he still looked a little restless. With a listless look on his face, Gu Xing and the rest tactfully did not disturb him. They allowed him to immerse himself in his own world, and this state continued until everyone had breakfast. Mu Han suddenly stood up, his eyes no longer drifting. Instead, he became incomparably firm and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Xing and the others smiled knowingly. They knew that Mu Han had walked out. Immediately, they relaxed and chased after him with light steps.
They set off to the imperial tomb of the capital city. There were still two cities between them. When they thought about how their Royal Father was on the verge of death, it was hard to tell whether he was still alive or dead. The situation in the palace was unstable, and everyone was anxious. Mu Han wished he could grow wings and fly over, even though he knew that returning to the palace would be extremely dangerous. There were countless assassins lying in ambush ahead, waiting for an opportunity to strike, but he did not back down. A man and a horse were like flowing lights, eager to return like arrows.
The Asura man and the other three seemed to be regarded as the generals of the enemy. This time, they had walked for a long time, but no one jumped out to stop them. A few days later, they left Chang Ning and arrived at the Cloud State, which was the last city Di Ling had passed through.
