Volu Drea was busy with his purge, and the entire court lived in anxiety, there was a secret force that did not cease its activity On the evening of the twelfth day of the tenth roup of black figuresthe farmhouse, a black-clothed, looed man led two youths and walked towards the door of the farmhouse He shouted, “Guests have come from afar to pay a visit Why hasn’t the owner come out to welcome us?”

The door to the farmhouse was softly pushed open A man and a woman walked out From that man’s appearance, one could deterly actually thatPalace and disappeared without a trace, Wei Ying Although he had changed into the rags of a peasant, it was iant bearing As for the woirl However, her appearance was beautiful and elegant Her bearing reseantly With a depressed and chilling expression on his face, Wei Ying asked, “Who are you people? Why have you have coed man mildly answered, “You are truly difficult to find We have been following you for several days Only now have we finally been able to track you and surround you here”

Wei Ying frowned Over these last several days, they had long ago discovered that they were being followed and spying on theyi Sect did not dare to publicly cause trouble As a result, they had done their best to avoid the surveillance of thesehad actually co Who were these people? If they were the Prince of Yong’s subordinates, an ares As he considered all this, Wei Ying asked, “Your distinguished self must surely know that you are only able to follow us because we dare not cause an uproar However, this location is reains will not make up for your losses Quickly reveal your intentions”

The h your distinguished self and company all have excellent martial arts, you may not necessarily be able to defeat bows and crossbows As for our identity, we aren’t any honorable and glorious sect We are members of the E the position of Protector within the Embroidered Union These two at my side are my Union Head’s trusted disciples You probably heard of this one He is called Huo Li”

When theand the wofro the front of the farh there was no sound of crossbows from the rear of the far It seemed that these men, as expected, had come prepared Even if these remnants were capable of victory, they would surely cause a ruckus and disturb the neighbors, the gains notup for the losses

The wo that although theand mannerisms were all unusual As for the two youths by his side, they were both exceptional The youth na a cal, his appearance handsome As for the other youth, his appearance was also refined and elegant, his bearing carrying a faintly discernible hint of herois his own strength, he had thrown Luoyang into chaos If the other youth had the same status as hialaxy of talent However, this woman had heard her master speak of the secret ties between the E’s household As a result, she said, “I have long heard that your honored union has reached an alliance with the Prince of Yong Have you lot come under orders to capture us?”

“Our Eest that we have not had any dealings with the Prince of Yong, however our relationshi+p is not one of an alliance,” replied the ed man callously “At the ti operation Unfortunately, Li An burned the bridge after crossing the river, and even sought to s difficult for our Union Head Huo That e divulged inforh ere unable to depose Li An from his position as heir apparent, ere able to cause problems for him On this world, we are the only ones allowed to be of disservice to others; no one is perardless of what has happened, we are not the Prince of Yong’s subordinates Our Embroidered Union can cooperate with anyone However there is one principle that we cannot and will not forget Our E We will do anything that can cause Great Yong problems As a result, since your honored sect has failed and suffered a devastating defeat, becoreat enemy, my Union Head has dispatched this one with so, theman in black suddenly appeared from within the darkness The expression on his face was icy, as he walked over carrying an e the e the case, theand the woreatly alarmed Within the case was a thick wad of banknotes In addition, these banknotes were from the most reputable and richest money house in Southern Chu, located in the capital of Jianye

The ed man indifferently stated, “There are banknotes worth two hundred thousand taels of silver here My Union Head has stated that since you have lost to the Prince of Yong, you are bound to try toHowever, it would be i’s borders No o up against the military As a result, the only option available to you is to go far away Northern Han is the Devil Sect’s territory; it will be io there It may be assumed that you will not leave civilization If that is the case, then the only option available for you to make a co defeat, you likely lack the funds to h your honored sect has a lot of profits your expenses are also very large At present, theIt will likely be ie them As a result, my Union Head specially dispatched this protector with these banknotes, hoping that you will be able to atte as one is an ene, are you willing to for Yu, anointed by Fan Huiyao as the next sectat the banknotes, she replied, “Although you have spoken honeyed words, there is so to provide us with banknotes worth two hundred thousand taels of silver because we have a shared eneed man smiled and answered, “Our Union Head has never ree to one condition, ill not only provide you with banknotes worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, ill also hand over a portion of our assets in Southern Chu to you”

Wei Ying and Ling Yu both ih two hundred thousand taels of silver was a significant amount, it would run out one day However, if they were able to get their hands on the Embroidered Union’s assets in Southern Chu, they would be able to h they were excited, they were also wary of what this conditionwalked forward and voiced, “There is no haruished self to speak your condition If we find it reasonable, it ree”

“To speak the truth, the Fengyi Sect has suffered a coed man with a smile “Your public assets will undoubtedly be confiscated by the Great Yong court However, you have soht now, it would be inconvenient for you to continuethem It would be best to hand thee that benefits both sides”

Seeing that Wei Ying and Ling Yu were interested, the edseveral agreements and deed documents He continued, “These are the deeds to fourteen assets that we have in Southern Chu with a total value of four hundred thousand taels of silver If you are willing to take coe, then our alliance will be formed Our Embroidered Union is in a difficult position in Southern Chu Because of our Union Head’s youthful impetuosity, ere too excessive in the chaos that reaked upon Southern Chu However, to topple Great Yong, we have no alternative but to continue operating in Southern Chu But, if you are to take over, as long as you are able to strengthen Southern Chu, when the tieance for the pain and suffering wrought upon us by Great Yong, ill also fulfill our long-cherished wish”

Ling Yu and Wei Ying exchanged a look Wei Ying walked forward and accepted the second e the docuh the Yu stated, “Our sect does have soh they are not worth four hundred thousand taels of silver, they are still worth some three hundred thousand taels However, with this, you willloss I do not believe that you wish to be taken advantage of If there are any other conditions, there is no har as they aren’t too excessive, they can be discussed”

The htened as he replied, “In reality, we have no alternatives At present, although our assets in Southern Chu are fairly good, anything that relates to the Eive rise to disaster As a result, although we have ample assets in Southern Chu, they are useless to us In co court does not view our Ereat prospects for future developreat of a loss to us However, if Fairy and Wei , we do have a suest elder of our Union He wants your honored sect to …” Reaching this point, the ed man lowered his voice to a whisper, audible only to the nearby Wei Ying

Wei Ying frowned Turning around, he returned to Ling Yu’s side and whispered a sentence Subconsciously, Ling Yu was about to reject this categorically However, Wei Ying spoke severaland returning into the fared man, “This request seems a bit odd She is only one person … is she really worth three hundred thousand taels of silver?”

“Young rievances between the guest elder and her,” replied the uest elder has just antuan, meritorious contribution This was his only dereed In reality, our losses won’t be too heavy All that otten wealth What our Union desires most is to form an alliance with your honored sect In the future, ill act together against Great Yong with you in Southern Chu and us in Great Yong For this objective, what is a little bit of , she is no more than an additional request To speak bluntly, she was a member of the imperial clan and had a respectable status before, and would naturally be of extreme importance to your sect But now she is no more than a useless individual with her face ruined Considering martial arts, your sect has many individuals with ence and ability, you have no use for her Once you’ve arrived in Southern Chu, the only benefit she can offer as aimperial clan will really be of detriment to your sect’s survival She is already completely without value for you As for our Union, we can use her life to acquire the loyalty of a guest elder This is an excellent transaction However, to tell the truth, let alone three hundred thousand taels, she isn’t worth a single tael However, if this ed for cooperation with your honored sect, let alone three hundred thousand taels, it would be worth it if we add another three hundred thousand taels”

Wei Ying sighed “For your honored union to have a talent like you, no wonder the Fengyi Sect was never able to deal with you These last few days, we have received little news of what has been happening How is the current situation? Do you have any news that you can share?”

Themaster Wei is worried about your esteehas been lenient towards your estee him under house arrest However, your esteemed father is currently extremely downhearted On several occasions, he tried to commit suicide, but failed At present, he is bedridden”

Wei Ying sighed again, as he stated, “This is entirelyto help er needs to suffer?”

A chill appeared in the ’s intentions from his words Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to rescue Wei Guan Everyone knew of Wei Guan, as he was the prime minister In addition, Wei Guan did not know any martial arts As a result, it would be i’s request was to have the Ereat changes on the face of thehurriedly explained in a low voice, “This isn’t because I am ruthless My father has always been loyal and devoted to Great Yong It is said that nobody understands one’s son better than his father Without the concealment of fah me This is extremely unfavorable to me Moreover, my father has always been loyal If he dies from suicide, the court may consider my father’s previous contributions and will certainly not i’s laborious intent Would your distinguished self please help ed man replied, “This one will have to report this matter to the Union Head If feasible, the Union Head will take action If not, there will be no way for us to com as your estee master should know of the results of thisnodded his head and replied, “There is another yi Sect Master’s death at the Hunting Palace, we do not know the veracity of those rumors Does your honored union have any news?”

“Our Union Head personally investigated this ed yi Sect Master’s death being true, as the Eighteen Arhats paid a trip to the Hunting Palace and only twelve returned to the Shaolin Temple When Great Master True Compassion returned to the Shaolin Temple, he immediately went into seclusion to recuperate froyi Sect Master’s death is likely true However, Great Yong has been unwilling to announce this publicly”

“That is only natural,” replied Wei Ying “The Devil Sect Sovereign in Northern Han once e with the Sect Master If the Sect Master were to die, Jing Wuji would no longer be constrained by that pledge As a result, it is only natural that the court dare not breathe a word of this to anyone³ If your honored union were to spread this news, Northern Han’s Devil Sect will be sure to grow restless⁴ When the time comes, wouldn’t this be of benefit to you?”

“This ed“This one cannot make the decisions However, if this were the case, if the Devil Sect were to invade, they would inevitably affect our power and influence As a result, our Union Head will likely not agree”

Wei Ying smiled “The news cannot be kept hidden forever This matter will be spread sooner rather than later If your honored union plans properly, you can seize the opportunity presented for your benefit”

Although it seeedunderstood that it was best to leave it at that and did not continue to try to persuade hied woh fro anymore, her appearance was as lovely and sumptuous as ever Behind her were tomen who carried a stretcher with an unconscious woe wrapped around the unconscious wo able to see her facial features

A hint of joy appeared on the esture with his hand Another man in black walked out from within the darkness His appearance was co next to the stretcher, he ripped off the woman’s clothes without a hint of pity After carefully exa the red birthmark at the woman’s waist, he rose from his haunches and nodded his head Froy, everyone knew that he was not an ordinary individual Satisfied, the ed man waved his hand The two youths by his side took hold of the stretcher and disappeared into the darkness

The“Since our alliance is formed, please kindly accept these itee a method for us to communicate After your sect’s position in Southern Chu has been established and stabilized, ill be able to exchange infor will be besieged by threats internally and externally, and fall”
