Chapter 148 The Shadow Guard
Tianyun City in the middle of the Nanli Empire, a county town near the capital of the Nanli Empire is extremely prosperous and has a population of over one million.
Xue Qinghan looked at the towering city gate and raised his eyebrows. They originally planned to leave the Nanli Empire, but they got the news that something happened to the Blood Demon, so they rushed here.
As Xue Qinghan knows, Xuesha was born in the Cao family, the oldest demonic family in Tianyun City. However, some changes later occurred. The Cao family was destroyed. The entire Cao family was killed, and all the blood evil spirits were killed, and his brothers and sisters were tortured to death. For Xuesha, it was an irreconcilable hatred.
Among the forces that attacked the Cao family, the Xiao family was the most dedicated and the most cruel one. Most of the direct members of the Cao family died at the hands of the Xiao family.
What’s even more troublesome is that the Xiao family used to be an extremely powerful family, otherwise they would not have dared to attack the Cao family. Now the power of the Xiao family has made great progress and is already the veritable number one big family in Tianyun City.
Not only that, the head of the Xiao family is still like the city lord of Yuncheng today. He controls the army of Tianyun City. With the back of the Nanli Empire, the Xiao family is vaguely becoming one of the great clans of the Nanli Empire, and is no longer just a big clan of a city.
"My subordinate Yingwei Lin Yan, I have met the young master." At this moment, a young man with an ordinary appearance came to Xue Qinghan from the crowd, bowed slightly and said, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"It is not convenient to give a great gift here, so I hope the young master will forgive me."
The young man who claimed to be the shadow guard Lin Yan said softly, while speaking, a purple thunder light flashed slightly on his palm, and a unique murderous aura faintly spread out on his body.
The Heavenly Dao Jue is the breath of the Heavenly Dao Jue. Xue Qinghan already knew that all members of the Shadow Guard practiced the secret of the Heavenly Dao Jue, the Heavenly Dao Jue. Xue Qianren, who was once a core disciple of the Heavenly Dao Jue, used some means to break the restriction planted by the Heavenly Dao Jue in his soul, and used the Outline of the Heavenly Dao Jue, which was originally the core scripture of the Heavenly Dao Jue, to cultivate the Shadow Guard.
The star halo in Xue Qinghan's eyes was flowing. He looked at the young man in front of him. The man was wearing an ordinary black robe, with an ordinary appearance, looking only twenty-five or six years old, and his breath was restrained. However, Xue Qinghan could vaguely sense this person's cultivation level. He was much weaker than the shadow guard who took action in the deserted city. He should only be around the fourth level of the Return Realm.
Xue Qinghan frowned slightly and asked, "You are the only one who comes?"
A person who is only at the fourth level of the Return to One Realm is really useless to Xue Qinghan now. It is similar to a person who does odd jobs and is not very useful at all. After all, Mo Yu is an existence of the fifth level of the Return to One Realm, and his combat power is far from the fifth level of the Return to One Realm. Not to mention that they may face the Xiao family in this trip, who is in charge of the Dao Palace realm. A subordinate in the Return to One Realm really doesn't have enough to see it.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Young Master, don't worry, my subordinates are just here to pick up the young master, and the others are waiting for the young master to come in the same place, after all, I can't be too much.
Too eye-catching.”
"Young master, do you want to go with your subordinates to meet others now?" Lin Yan asked.
"Well, let's go now. I still have a lot of things to know about. Let's talk about when I see others." Xue Qinghan pondered for a moment, nodded and said.
"Young Master, please follow me." Lin Yan said, then walked forward and led the way, but not to Tianyun City, but to the direction outside the city.
"Why are you waiting in the city? Where are you going?" Mo Yu stood beside Xue Qinghan, looked at Lin Yan walking out of the city and asked.
"Xiao Xuan, the head of the Xiao family, is the lord of Tianyun City. It can be said that Tianyun City is the territory of the Xiao family. There are many ears and eyes inside the city, which inevitably attracts people's attention and causes unnecessary trouble, so we established a stronghold outside the city." Lin Yan replied back.
"Let's go." Xue Qinghan said, Wu'er jumped and followed behind him. Mo Yu's eyes flashed and he followed.
"How did you find us right away?" Xue Qinghan suddenly asked when the group walked into a forest.
"Don't the young master know?" Lin Yan paused slightly and continued to speak, "From the moment the young master took over the shadow guard, the brothers had seen the young master's portrait, so everyone recognized the young master."
"Oh? There is such a thing? No one has told me." Xue Qinghan gritted his teeth and said with some discomfort. He took over the shadow guard? He didn't even know how many people there were in the shadow guard, let alone who were in the shadow guard? Is this considered taking over the shadow guard? Who has ever seen a boss who also acted like this?
"By the way, how many people are there in your Shadow Guard?"
"Didn't you tell the young master? Then the subordinates can't talk too much, and the subordinates really don't know." Lin Yan replied.
Xue Qinghan sighed, stopped asking anything, and followed him.
Half an hour later, Xue Qinghan and the other two followed Lin Yan to a valley. This valley was a distance from Tianyun City. It was located in the depths of the mountains outside Tianyun City. Although it was not a deserted place, there were really few villages.
"Young Master, it's just here. They are all waiting for the young master to arrive. Please come with your subordinates." Lin Yan said.
The valley is not big and looks very quiet. You can vaguely see several small wooden houses located in the depths of the valley, which has a bit of seclusion. However, the valley is ordinary and not a place with abundant spiritual energy. And in front of those small wooden houses, there are actually several vegetable gardens.
Xue Qinghan nodded, looked at Mo Yu, and then stepped forward.
Seeing that he had arrived at the entrance of the valley, Lin Yan was about to turn around and say something, but at this moment a dangerous breath came, which shocked him. The aura on his body was about to burst out, and the light of thunder flashed, and his body wanted to dodge to the side.
But it was too late. Before Lin Yan could do too much, a dagger surrounded by black light suddenly appeared from his shadow and was nailed directly into his head from behind. The terrifying power was in one
It exploded instantly, shattering his soul under a meeting.
A blank look flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was suddenly attacked, but he was killed without hesitation. He turned his head hard and looked at it. The young man in white looked calm, his eyes as deep as a snow river, with a bit of hazy meaning, which made people unable to see clearly. But when he was stared at those eyes, Lin Yan suddenly felt like he was completely seen through.
Lin Yan paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but blood flowed out of his mouth, making him unable to speak. His eyes gradually lost focus, and then his vision completely fell into darkness, but Lin Yan's face had a strange smile, which seemed a bit ferocious.
Mo Yu's figure condensed from the faint shadow. He put away the dagger and Rumo's eyes swept around, which had a bit of solemnity.
"Ah~ Brother Qinghan, this~" Wu'er was startled by the sudden change and exclaimed in surprise.
Xue Qinghan's palm moved slightly, and a purple jade plaque flew out of Lin Yan's arms and fell into Xue Qinghan's hands. There was a word "shadow" engraved above, and the two words "Lin Yan" engraved on the back. There was also a small number "Nine" in front of "Lin Yan". A faint thunder power was lingering on the jade plaque, filled with a familiar atmosphere.
Xue Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly, and her face turned a little cold as the jade token in her hand became faintly cold, and a trace of sword intent spread out from her body.
"Brother Qinghan, what's going on?" Wu'er raised her head slightly and looked at Xue Qinghan and said.
Xue Qinghan frowned slightly, and his voice could not tell his emotions: "You can call me brother, but don't add a name in front of it. Do you understand?"
"Why? Why can you call brother but don't call brother Qinghan? Wu'er doesn't understand." Wu'er pouted and said a little aggrievedly.
Xue Qinghan looked into the valley without answering, and light flashed in her eyes.
"Because, the young master hopes that the person who calls him this is not a little girl like you who has no breasts and is ill-nurturing, but someone else. This title is not suitable for a yellow-haired girl like you. Do you understand?" Mo Yu appeared beside Xue Qinghan, and said to Wu'er with a little gloating smile in her smile.
Wu'er snorted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Mo Yu, and muttered: "There is another person who means Aunt Mo Yu, you can't? Also, it's not that you are ill-nurturing. Wu'er is just young, and she will definitely be older than Aunt Mo Yu in a few years."
"Little girl, who are you calling me?" Mo Yu's eyes flashed with dangerous light, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his face looked ugly.
"Mo Yu, be careful. If the situation is not good, take Wu'er away quickly." Xue Qinghan said at this time.
Although Lin Yan did not say anything before his death, he read some words from his mouth: Xue Qinghan, sir, have been waiting for you for a long time.
He was carrying the breath of the Heavenly Dao Jue and even held the identity token of the Shadow Guard, but he attracted himself here. Who is the master he said? Xue Qinghan's eyes were filled with chills.
