Yan Wulu's passenger ship returned to its original voyage under the guidance of the remaining rescued Wulin Alliance swordsmen and boatmen.
All the guests on the ship were grateful to Yan Wulu and his party.
They kept shouting thanks and shouting the names of "Great Hero Yan Lu" and "Holy Buddha of the West".
Amaro seems to prefer this feeling of being aloof and sought after by thousands of people.
But Yan Wulu didn't care much about this.
He was even a little disappointed...
Yan Wulu originally wanted to take this passenger ship to test out the Wulin Alliance...
If the Wulin Alliance really wanted to assassinate him, then with the Wulin Alliance's spies all over the world, they would definitely have their own portrait and other detailed information.
In this way, even if Yan Wulu is now using the pseudonym "Yan Lu", he will be easily discovered by the other party.
At that time, Amaro was in the dark, and the Zhenbei cavalry guards were far away.
They won't miss this opportunity...
However, first there was a surprise attack by water thieves, and then after passing through the area where water thieves gathered in Dongting Lake, the journey was peaceful again.
I don’t know if it’s because Amaro’s appearance made the martial arts alliance masters fearful, or because... the martial arts alliance was not the mastermind behind this assassination along the way?
…
On the third day after the passenger ship departs.
Yan Wulu and others finally arrived at the riverside outside the city of Jinling, the imperial capital.
The passenger ship of the Wulin League stopped at Zimin Ferry.
On the bow deck, Yan Wulu stood here. Looking from a distance, he saw Jinling City with dragons and tigers sitting on it, majestic and gorgeous.
Jinling City was built close to the mountains and rivers. It is the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of countless mechanical magicians.
In the north, there is the Yangtze River natural barrier as a natural barrier.
To the south is the majestic Purple Mountain.
There are thousands of miles of fertile fields to the east and west, but there are also high walls.
"The hundred-foot-long city wall is suspected to be a dragon lying on the ground, and the Jiuren Mountain has the potential to despise the world."
This is the largest city in Daqian and even the world - Jinling City.
At that time, during the period of melee war between various countries, Jinling City was also the capital of many separatist dynasties, or a strong defensive city.
However, since the capital of Daqian Ding is here, the stability of the past hundred years seems to have allowed this strong city to indulge in a prosperous life...
This giant city is still prosperous and beautiful, but it lives in peace without thinking about danger.
They no longer have the perseverance and courage of Yan Beicheng...
But no matter what, this place is still at the feet of the emperor, the city of emperors.
…
Yan Wulu and others took the water route and had to arrive early before the larger troops.
People around me asked if I should report it to the court?
When Yan Wulu heard this, he just smiled softly and replied calmly——
"Need not."
"...At this moment, it is rare that I am in the dark and the enemy is in the dark, so I just need to make some preparations in advance."
"...This Jinling City is far from as peaceful as it appears on the surface."
Yan Wulu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Jinling City quietly, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and more elusive.
For a while, the picture gradually blurred and faded away.
Only the vague figures of Jinling City and Yan Wulu are left...
…
…
Not long after the Wulin League's passenger ship arrived at Jinling.
The news of "Yan Lu" reappearing in the world has spread again.
Moreover, the news this time is as exciting as the last time——
It is said that Yan Lu is traveling with Amaro, the "Holy Buddha of the West" who is ranked fourth on the "Ranking of Masters in the Jianghu".
They also met Long Tao, the "Water Ghost" ranked 32nd on the "Ranking of Rivers and Lakes Experts" in the Hidden Yuan Secret Book, who led a large number of water thieves to attack.
The two sides fought fiercely on the Wulin Alliance's passenger ship.
In the end, Yan Lu and Amaro defeated the "water ghost" Long Tao together, and killed all 108 water thieves brought by Long Tao.
"Water Ghost" Long Tao's reputation in the world is not good...
What's more, this time Yan Lu and others saved people from the famous and decent martial arts alliance.
Yan Lu's reputation suddenly rose again, and he seemed to have become a new hero who defended his family and country and upheld justice.
The Wulin Alliance sent out news that they intend to recruit Yan Lu as a high-ranking guest minister in their alliance.
After all, for the Wulin Alliance...all the heroes are the targets of their wooing.
And [Tingyun Pavilion] is also paying special attention to Yan Lu's affairs.
They all want to investigate Yan Lu's strength.
After all, the ten-year ranking change of "Yin Yuan Secret Jian" is about to take place.
The original rankings had been roughly decided, but now... such a terrifyingly powerful newcomer suddenly appeared.
If the opponent's information cannot be received immediately and the "Yinyuan Secret Mirror" is distorted, this will be a great loss to the prestige of [Tingyun Pavilion].
…
The large team of people from the Zhenbei Palace also arrived later.
It was learned from their mouths that after the Crown Prince decided to secretly leave for Aurous Hill on that day, the assassination did not stop there.
There are still many assassins trying to attack the team.
However, they were all easily suppressed by the Zhenbei Cavalry Guards.
In this case, the assassin should not be from the Wulin Alliance...
Yan Wulu had already appeared on the Wulin League's passenger ship, and many Wulin League swordsmen had seen him.
The Wulin Alliance has a wide range of eyes, and there are countless swift pigeons.
If it was really the Wulin Alliance, their assassination center should have been moved to the passenger ship where Yan Wulu was located, instead of continuing to target the large troops traveling by land.
…
【Tingyun Pavilion】.
This is a tower-like building, but the inside is like a maze that makes it difficult to navigate...
Several people wearing gray cloaks followed the guidance of the faint fireflies as they went deeper.
If ordinary people don't have special fireflies to guide the way, they may not even be able to distinguish between east, west, north and south, not to mention that there are many important passages that require special secret mechanisms to open.
As the last deep wooden secret passage comes to an end.
Everything around him became like daylight under the illumination of special lights.
A dazzling array of jewelry adorns the surrounding walls.
On the candlestick made of precious metal, the Taoist flames looked particularly bright, illuminating everything in the entire temple.
In the main hall, layers of gauze curtains are hung...
It looks dreamy and beautiful.
Several mysterious people in gray cloaks walked through the gauze curtain and came to the center of the hall. They bowed slightly and said -
"Pavilion Master Yan, we have searched for the latest news about 'Yan Lu'."
In the hall, behind layers of gauze curtains, a graceful figure loomed.
"speak."
The sweet and melodious female voice, even with a hint of laziness, slowly came out from behind the gauze curtain like the sound of a piano.
The men in gray cloaks told all the information they knew about "Yan Lu".
But it’s mostly just the things that float on the surface...
"Yan Lu..." The person behind the curtain said quietly to himself.
The great elder of [Tingyun Pavilion] appeared in the hall at some unknown time. He is a notoriously bad-tempered old man...
"Yes, that's Yan Lu."
[Tingyun Pavilion] The great elder said angrily, he seemed a little angry.
He continued talking to himself like an old man mumbling——
"...This Yan Lu, I don't know where he came from?"
"...The Yin Yuan Secret Book's ten-year ranking change is about to happen, and suddenly such a young person with no qualifications and background appears, and he has done three major things in a row."
"...Could it be that you are deliberately trying to embarrass us [Tingyun Pavilion]?"
"Hahaha, Elder Wu, there is no need to make such a fuss."
The woman behind the gauze curtain chuckled and said lightly -
"... He's just a young martial artist who has just emerged. Isn't it our duty at [Tingyun Pavilion] to search for information about him?"
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, I heard that Yan Lu defeated Long Tao together with Amaro, the Holy Buddha of the West."
The man in gray cloak who was responsible for listening to reports in the main hall continued to suggest tentatively——
"... In this case, Yan Lu should at least be friends with Amaro. Could that mean... Yan Lu is actually a strong man from Xiyi?"
"impossible."
[Tingyun Pavilion] Elder Wu immediately denied it.
"...Amaro is obsessed with martial arts. He travels all over the world in search of peerless martial arts. It's not surprising that he meets people everywhere."
"...Besides, haven't we already made inquiries in the Hetao area? According to the rescued people, Yan Lu and his party all seem to have Northern accents."
"Northland accent?",
The female voice behind the curtain has a hint of doubt...
"...There are quite a few people with the surname 'Yan' in the world."
"...But it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right? He happens to be a member of the Yan family of the Northern King of Beidi Town, right?"
While talking.
A servant from [Tingyun Pavilion] came with a roll of paper, silk and brocade cloth in his hands.
"Lord Pavilion Master, Jianghu Order."
His words were brief, but they made everyone around him stunned.
Jianghu orders cannot be issued by just any character.
And it was also at this time that the woman who had been lying on her side behind the gauze curtain finally slowly stood up and appeared from behind the curtain...
Tall and fiery.
Her red hair is as voluptuous as fire, her skin is as white as snow, and she has a pair of amber-tinged red eyes, making her extremely beautiful.
She was obviously a woman whose whole body was wrapped in a huge blood-red robe, but it was as if she could see her graceful and hot figure under the wide robe, and could clearly feel her sexual charm.
Occasionally, there are a few hollows in the red robe, revealing his skin as fair as snow.
There are black silks wrapped around the body. Although no internal force or other energy is used, these silks float automatically as if they are alive...
Her face is coquettish and extremely aggressive, with flaming red lips and a huge hood behind her, giving her a sense of mystery.
This is the seventh generation Pavilion Master of [Tingyun Pavilion] - Yan Fei.
She is known as the "red flame beauty" in the world.
She is also currently ranked second on the list of women in the "World Beauty Ranking" on the Yin Yuan Secret Book.
Her beauty is very direct, yet somewhat unique.
If we say that Zhang Chunhua's beauty lies in her elegance and intellectuality, Jiang Yueling's beauty lies in her softness and inner strength, and Yi Qiuyue's beauty lies in her agility and cuteness.
Then, Yan Fei's beauty is the most direct, most obvious, and most captivating.
But it gives people a sense of nobility...
It's elusive but out of reach.
Yan Fei, wearing a blood-red robe, stood on the steps of the main hall. She slowly stretched out her right hand and took the roll of Jianghu Order presented by the servant's hands.
There is only one sentence on its cover——
"Invite heroes from all over the world to kill the traitors of the country - Yan Wulu, the prince of Zhenbei."
…
at the same time.
Southern Northland.
The ground shook, and the original rock layers suddenly cracked open.
Accompanied by a sudden loud explosion, a dark sunken hole appeared on the ground. At first glance, it seemed as if it was bottomless.
At the edge of the hole, a strong male hand appeared and clung to it.
Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with his palms, and a tall figure jumped out of the sunken hole.
The figure slightly blocks the sun's rays with its right hand.
His skin is extremely fair and even a little sickly. It is probably caused by staying underground for too long and not seeing sunlight for a long time.
His white teeth are slightly pointed, and his eyes are extremely dark, unlike ordinary humans.
Judging from the clothes on his body, they don't look like ordinary clothes.
Only the shabby waistband with the word "Lu" engraved on his waist seems to be able to explain his identity.
After a while.
Lu Minghui gradually adapted to the sunshine. He opened his hands slightly, hugged the beautiful land, rivers and mountains, and at the same time laughed and said -
"I, Lu Minghui, have come back from the dead!"
After Lu Minghui finished speaking, his eyes dimmed slightly.
He remembered what the king, a descendant of the underground demon clan, had said to him - it was not something outsiders could understand.
yes.
Who would have thought that the descendants of the Demon Clan who were besieged by Jianghu heroes because they became the targets of the Jianghu Order, some of the remaining tribesmen had already lived in seclusion underground and ignored foreign affairs.
Lu Minghui remembered again that when he was buried in the mine and fell into the ground, the demons inside asked him about the old events during the melee between the nations.
It was quite an adventure when I think about it.
Lu Minghui kept his promise, turned around, faced the entrance of the cave, and put one hand behind his back.
His other hand was slightly facing the hole, and dark yellow energy surged in his palm. In an instant, the bottomless sunken hole automatically closed and became flat, as if it had never appeared before.
Manipulate the earth, control soil and move mountains.
This is no longer something that ordinary warriors can do.
Even if he is a ninth-level earth warrior who is like a monster or a god, he is afraid that he cannot do as he pleases like Lu Minghui does now.
This was cultivated by Lu Minghui through his adventures in the underground for more than half a year.
He met the earth demon who was already all-powerful in the Immortal Period - Dikui, whose demon clan's remains were buried deep underground.
Lu Minghui passed the challenge set by the Dikui, gained the recognition of the Dikui, and accepted half of the inheritance from the demons of the earth. Now, he can no longer be regarded as an ordinary human being.
Fall into the devil's path and become a devil with just one thought.
Lu Minghui felt that he was half a demon at this moment.
Feeling the power in his body, Lu Minghui's fire of revenge became even stronger.
Lu Minghui turned to look north...
The prosperity of Yanbei City was still vivid in his mind, and he knew that even though he had found a good match and his strength was not what it used to be, he was still far from being a match for the King of Zhenbei and his army of Zhenbei.
If he wants to take revenge and regain the [Tianling Root], he needs more powerful allies, and he also needs an army!
But in the world today, the King of Zhenbei is more feared than him, and the only one who can meet the above conditions at the same time is Daqian Jinling...
Lu Minghui has already made up his mind.
He turned around and headed towards Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.
The figure flickers, and the dark yellow demonic energy clings to it.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Minghui's back appeared in the distant sky.
"Jinling City, your demon lord is here!"
…
Outside Jinling City.
Yan Wulu and others did not enter the city, but they were hiding in the Fisherman's Restaurant.
In Zhenbei Palace.
On Yan Dong's chessboard, Cheng Huanian's white stones suddenly surrounded Yan Dong's black stones and captured them.
At the court of Daqian.
Three princes dressed in gorgeous python costumes were arguing in front of the old emperor Zhao Purui, their faces red.
In the desert of the Western Regions.
The Yi family, built on an oasis, finally found the long-lost eldest daughter of the family leader Yi Xiangtian today.
In the distant rivers and lakes.
[Tingyun Pavilion], Pavilion Master Yan Fei announced the postponement of the new round of "Yin Yuan Secret Book".
Wulin League.
Demonic Cult.
Yaowang Valley.
Yi family in the Western Regions.
Dongting Lake water thief.
Even Amaro, the holy Buddha of Western Yi, and Lu Minghui, the descendant of Earth Demon.
No matter who is in the court.
He is still a person in the world.
From the moment Yan Wulu arrived at Jinling, he became extremely active...
That piece of paper came out of nowhere, and the Jianghu Order suddenly appeared, trying to summon the world's heroes to jointly assassinate the Prince of Zhenbei.
This chess game can affect the future of the world...
Before Yan Wulu knew it, it had quietly unfolded.
And he is destined to be at the center of the storm, unable to escape...
…

Information that can currently be released——
1. Jianghu order. It is a document similar to Jianghu pursuit order, search order, and reward order. It requires the initiator to have a certain degree of appeal and provide a reward sufficient for Jianghu people to act. Of course, if the initiator has the appeal , the credibility is high enough, even if there is no reward, there are still a lot of people flocking to it.
It originally originated from the major shareholders behind the Wulin Alliance, and later gradually became an important document issued by well-known forces in the world to assassinate someone who is difficult to assassinate and find a precious and rare object.
In the history books, the most famous Jianghu Order is the Jianghu Order jointly initiated by Daqian, Former Qin, Xishu, Wulin Alliance, Yaowang Valley, Penglai and other human clan forces fifty years ago to summon the world. The heroes surrounded and killed a group of strong men who were descendants of the demons who were trying to invade the Central Plains from the Western Regions.
This Jianghu order at that time summoned the thirty-two strong men from the Yin Yuan Secret Book's "Jianghu Master Ranking" at that time, as well as a group of internal masters and Jianghu rangers to participate. Among them, the most tragic one The battle is to deal with the descendants of the Demon of Fire among the descendants of the Demon Clan. Countless strong men from the human race have fallen. Many strong men such as the Sword Master of the Blue Sea and the King of Poison Hell are suffering from the poison of inflammation that is difficult to cure.
"...But this battle still ended with a great victory for the strong human race."
"The descendants of the demon clan have been eliminated since then."
"The Central Plains has once again been freed from the danger of demonic invasion." - This is what is recorded in the history books.
