It had been a while since Dugu Xian left his roo to stay appraised of as happening on the outside

He knew that, within his courtyard, there were a total of 15 guards and three handyuards would pass by the entrance to his room every 30 ainst the steel ar off a sound that made one feel at ease

WhatThe youth seeht be able to force the 50000 strong Golden Roc Fort army into retreat He had no whi However, if the Great Snow Mountain army were to become equal with the Golden Roc Fort, then he, as a traitor, would not have to live in fear everyday

An hour ago, so that there was a fire sou Xian out of his sleep He had not heard the footsteps of the guards for a while, so instead of going back to sleep, he was listening closely to the sounds outside

He was a slightly anxious as he looked at the short saber placed on his desk He decided against touching it as he knew his own kung fu was only on the same level of an ordinary macheteman Given that, he rose fro for a while more

It was too quiet outside, as if he were the only one left in the courtyard

Dugu Xian retreated to the side of his desk, hesitating, before slowly drawing the short saber He stood its tip against the floor, and leaned it against the back of his thigh Using two fingers to steady the saber at the hilt, and clasped his hands behind his back The scabbard was left on the desk and its opening was facing him If anyone were to come in, they would think that the saber was still within its scabbard

In this manner, he waited, for whatever may come

Tiht should have already been over, but it was still very dark outside The dilaring to his eyes

For no aparent reason, Dugu Xian felt a cool breeze blowing froround, up to his neck

He sloisted his stiff body and turned to look behind hiure stood before his bed It was tall, thin and clad entirely in black He could not see a weapon, so he figured it must have been shrouded in darkness as well

With a clang, his saber fell onto the floor Dugu Xian’s heart beat extre down He was elated; co face to face with Death was not nearly as scary as he had iined

Just as he was about to speak, the other party lifted a finger, signalling for hiain

Extreinal position The saber, however, was left upon the ground

The liu Xian’s heart; perhaps, this person in black was not a killer, but so to protect him

Suddenly, the cool breeze behind him became waru Xian was thinking and had dinificant, to nearly imperceptible levels

The two of them stood in this u Xian began to feel the soles of his feet becoan to show outside Just as Dugu Xian very wanted lance at his protector, sounds came from outside his room

He heard hurried footsteps, before a swordsman from the Great Snow Mountain pushed open the door to his roou Xian, as standing as still as a wooden pole, and asked “Are you alright?”

The swordsman’s tone was harsh, as if he could never have a favorable impression an enemy Cou Xian He was a bit surprised; the swordsman’s expression clearly showed that he had not seen the second person within his rooht now, don’t step out”

Dugu Xian nodded

The swordse about his expression and posture For, as it seemed he was about to turn and leave, he paused for a ain, “Are you sure you’re alright?”

This additional question cost the swordsman his life

Most of the swordsmen were hardened veterans and had an instinctive feel for danger He had already grasped his sword hilt, but was a it two to three inches His head sank down and his lifeless body slowly kneeled on the ground, revealing the assassin standing behind him

It was another person in black He was hter now, Dugu Xian could not see where his weapon was hidden either

Dugu Xian felt a chill run up his spine He realized that the person in his room was no protector and he was just the bait in a trap He did not even kno many people were hidden around his rooer to the corner of his u Xian to reu Xian was unable to respond Although afraid that the Dragon King would fall for their trap, he was even htened at the possibility hion King forever, and would be sure to get rid of hi any other ed the corpse of the swordsman to a corner of the wall and did not bother to conceal hi his head slightly, appearing as if he was sleeping while standing up

After staring for a while, Dugu Xian finally noticed where the man in black kept his weapon The scabbard of his saber was as pitch black as his clothes and stuck closely to his thigh Even under bright sunlight, it would be hard to notice

Footsteps sounded outside of his rooh, the visitor was more polite and asked softly when he was at the door, ” General Dugu?”
