I don't know if this visit was a blessing or a curse, but if they really did capture me, then that could only mean that my life should end here. With this thought in mind, An Luotian righteously opened the door. Under the dim yellow light of the candlelight, the scholar was reading a book. The girl had also changed her carefree personality in the restaurant. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent and she carried a treasured sword in her arms. The atmosphere in the room was especially tense.

"Here you are, find a place to sit." The scholar told him without raising his head. It was said to be a casual seat, but in reality, the only other chair in the room was the one the scholar was sitting on. As for the girl beside the chair, she had a murderous look in her eyes. It was impossible for her to leave the room now; she could only brace herself and go up. As a great general, what had she not seen before? A big bowl of scars was missing from his head! With this thought, he walked over and sat down. The moment she sat down, the girl took out her sword and placed it against his neck.

"I wonder what are you two calling me here for tonight? Was it just to kill me? Then why don't you tie me up and hand me over to the authorities?

"General An is wrong," the scholar said as he put down the book in his hand and turned his head towards An Luotian. "Tonight, General An's death depends entirely on the general's own opinion. I merely called the general over to ask him a few questions, to see if you have any value in living in this world. After all, so many ambitious commoners had died at the hands of General An, and now that he'd suddenly said that General An had abandoned the shadows and entered the light, it really wasn't believable. "Therefore, the two of us want to confirm General An's determination to see if he is playing a part in this. We hope that General An will not lie to us. After all, swords are merciless."

"Stop calling me General An. I'm no longer a general. I'm just a street rat that's being beaten up by a single person."

"Alright, I'll call you Brother Lu Tian. Brother Lu Tian, why did you fall from the position of Grand General to become a felon in the imperial court? "

"Just like what the imperial government said, they wanted to rebel against their country and overthrow their power."

"Ai …" the scholar shook his head, gesturing towards the girl. The girl nodded and used her sword to stab his neck, even though it was only a scratch. "Brother Lu Tian, are you unwilling to speak the truth?" "I'll ask again, next time it won't be a scrape."

"… If you want to kill me, then kill me. What's the point of all this?" At most, he would just die. God knows, even if he were to tell the truth, the chances of him surviving wouldn't be high. After all, what he had done wasn't an exaggeration.

"You, An Lutian, are really a man," the scholar said, standing up and playing with the folding fan on the table. "In my opinion, you, An Lutian, are not a traitor at all. In order to prevent future troubles from befalling the leader of the family, remember that after the defeat of the Jiangnan rebel leader Li Guozhi, you captured Li Guozhi alive. In order to prevent future troubles, you personally led an army to kill all 178 of Li Guozhi's family members. In three days, you've almost killed the entire village. Even to set an example, you are not as ruthless. However, it could not be denied that they had achieved a very good result. The reason why the rebel army had been so easy to defeat was because their supplies had been cut off. However, the two of us didn't call you here today to count the number of things you've done that we hate to the bones. After all, if you were to count them, you wouldn't be able to finish them all in one night. "So, you can't betray your country, and if I'm guessing correctly, the reason you deserve death is because you've done too much for your master and because you have too much military power, right?" It was inconceivable that the scholar would sound so excited when he spoke of the crime committed by Anshi. In order to make an example of the situation, he had killed thousands of people in the village, and most of them were innocent. This was something Anshi was very clear about, but he still gave the order to kill all of them. However, the scholar's expression did not change.

"Since you know, why ask me?" An Luotian did not intend to deny it. "Even now, I don't think I made a mistake. Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger was the best strategy at the time. After that incident, no one dared to provide supplies to the rebel army."

The scholar took a sip of tea and sat down again. "That's right, I didn't say you did wrong. If it was me, I would have done the same. The more ruthless the better. How could the effect be good?"

"What?" Anshi was surprised by the scholar's speech. "What do you mean?"

"I am only objectively evaluating. Then, why didn't you just tell me the real reason... I won't go into that question any further, I'm sure you'll tell me the details later. Now, I only want to ask you one thing. Do you want to kill the Emperor and overthrow the Imperial Court? "

"Yes!" I have done so much for him, carried a body full of curses, and yet he killed my entire family! I, An Lu, am someone who will repay kindness and enmity! The grace of a drop of water is repaid with a gush of spring water. It's only natural to have deep hatred between us. I want that dog-emperor to feel a thousand times, a thousand times more pain than me! "

"Good!" An Luotian, a person in a state of extreme tension would lie and his eyes would wander. From time to time, he would stare at the person or thing that threatened his life. Even a great general would not be able to see that nothing was amiss. "Lin Su, put down your sword. It has already been confirmed that An Luotian truly wants to overthrow the imperial court." The girl beside her put away her sword, and her murderous aura instantly disappeared as well, "Brother Lu Tian, we really did offend you just now. The girl beside her put away her sword, and the murderous aura instantly disappeared as well," Brother Lu Tian, we really did offend you just now.

He was confused by the sudden turn of events. "What do you mean? Supporting me? "

"Brother Lu Tian definitely doesn't know what's going on, does he?" With that, the scholar lifted up the girl's clothes, exposing her wheat colored back. An Lu originally wanted to turn around, but was stopped by the scholar. "Brother Lu Tian, please take a look." The scholar suddenly blew out the only candle in the room, and instantly, the room was shrouded in darkness. Under the moonlight, one could see a golden pattern appear behind the girl's back.

"This … this is …" An Luotian had an impression of this pattern. At the beginning of the battle, he had wanted to acknowledge Ghost Valley as his military advisor, and had asked everywhere for information regarding the Ghost Valley Sect. The only definite information he had was that the disciples of the Ghost Valley Sect all had a mark on their back that they couldn't see in the light of day. Later on, because the Ghost Valley Sect's actions were too secretive, they could not be found anywhere. Some people even thought that the Ghost Valley Sect was just a legend.

"That's right, the two of us are disciples of the Ghost Valley Sect. Recently, our Master was dragged down the mountain by his old friend, and told the two of us to help you take over the world." Although it is my master's order, the two of us are still worried, so we want to make sure that you are worthy enough for us to assist you. " The scholar put down the girl's clothes and lit the candle again.

"But I heard that the Ghost Valley Sect only has one disciple every year, why are there two of you?"

"Speaking of which, I am ashamed. My sect used to have only one disciple, and this disciple needs to master the martial arts and various schemes of my sect. He is unrivaled in this world. However, my body is too weak to practice martial arts since I was young, and even though this fellow's body is extremely strong, so he was able to master all of the martial arts very quickly, his brain is not working well. No wonder he looked so pretty, without any hint of manliness, "Since the two of us are going to support you, then we should be honest about it. I also hope that there won't be any estrangement between us, and as you can see, I'm also a girl, after all, walking in the martial arts world is very inconvenient for two girls. "Let me introduce you. I'm Lin Yun, the one over there is called Lin Su." Just as he was getting a new companion, two dark arrows flew in from outside the window and were instantly intercepted by Lin Su. The arrows had purple hair and gave off a strange light under the light of the candle. Lin Yun stepped forward and carefully examined the weapon, saying, "These are the Demonic Sect's poison arrows, they were released for five days, whoever was shot by the arrows would definitely die within five days. It seems that those guys have come back to seek revenge." As he said this, he blew out the candle in the room, "Quick, let's escape the inn while it's still dark."

"Is it really that troublesome? Why don't I just go out and take care of them?" Every time I run into trouble, you tell me not to do anything. " Lin Su didn't seem happy to just run away like that.

"Idiot, I was afraid of getting into trouble. "Now that the enemy is in the dark, it's hard to defend against an arrow when it's easy to dodge it. Even if you get hit by that arrow, you won't be able to hold on for long." Then, from outside, came the sound of someone coming up the stairs. It sounded like a large group of people, then the sound of doors being kicked open, people screaming.

"This is bad!" An Luotian suddenly thought of Wei Sou, who was still sleeping in the guest room, and hurriedly stood up to look for her. At that moment, a poison arrow shot into his left shoulder, and in an instant, his left shoulder lost all feeling and fell to the ground. He felt that his entire body on the left side wasn't his, and he didn't feel anything at all. Lin Yun rushed over to help him rest, "Go … go find Wei Sou! Earth Room 2! " These were the last words he said consciously.
