C667 (1/2)

Duan Cheng Xuan, who'd just left Er Dan, inexplicably felt a wave of coldness crawl up her back.

However, it had only been a short period of time since he had last visited. It seemed as though the borders of the city had been thoroughly cleansed.

The commanders who had once known him and allowed him to pass through this area had all changed under the order of their father-in-law. Moreover, it seemed that there weren't as many people at the border as in the martial world. Many people had gathered here to discuss this matter.

He was a few years younger than the ghost and looked like a tanned young man from another clan. He did not need a curved blade and only had a small knife on his waist, so he could be considered an orphan from the Sanning Clan. Wandering around the border all year round to help him find information, he could be considered a strong person.

”My lord, I have never seen that prince before.” Hong Xiao smiled as he looked at Duan Chengxuan. His emerald green eyes, on the other hand, were dull, not as pure as Sang Ning's pupils.

”When you have more ability, you will naturally see it.” Duan Chengxuan pulled on the reins and the horse beneath him spun around twice before finally coming to a stop. He then turned around and faced the forest on the other side of the road. ”Why are there so many Jianghu people in those towns at the border of Er Dan?”

He waited for them to get a little further away before spreading his hands and whispering, ”Previously, His Highness had people spread rumors that the elixir of life needed the most important medicines, and very few people knew about the Blood Vine under the pond. But previously, someone had been poisoned in the city, and there was an old man called the Heavenly Blind Sage's Divine Hand in the river lake who actually said that the Blood Vine was poisonous when it was grown.

Heavenly Sacred Hand...

Duan Chengxuan had heard of this old man before. This old man was a respected senior in the martial arts world, but because he didn't know where his master was, there were people in his family who came and left without a trace, and he was even treated by the martial artists in the area as a saint that had transcended the mortal world.

However, this person was also a descendant of the Yun Family. There were still some people living in Yinzhou.

As a descendant of the Yun Family, she was actually discussing about the Blood Vine under the fictitious pool. It was most likely just to help Gu Mingyan verify the rumors.

On the other side, there were many martial arts practitioners at the border of Er Dan. Although there were many people causing trouble, if Er Dan wanted to attack, then these people could be used to defend the city.

Hong Xiao didn't hear Duan Chengxuan's words and rode his horse to his side. ”My prince, do you think that Er Dan is leading the army forward or do you think she obtained news that they're afraid of an invasion?”

”That will wait until I return to take a look.” Retracting his distant thoughts, Duan Chengxuan shook the reins in his hand. ”If the Ninth Prince wants to follow Gu Cheng and join the army, then Aldan will naturally be on guard. However, if Navy Tide doesn't move, then Aldan will most likely attack the city in the near future.”

As of now, there was no need to fear other countries. All Dan needed to do was pay attention to Navy Tide.

In this way, Duan Chengxuan became even more unclear about the forces at the borders of Navy Tide.

Hong Xiao's face darkened. ”I obviously received news a few days ago …”

”Seems like this paragraph is a bit of a brainwave. I can still see quite a few of my people.” Duan Chengxuan coldly gazed at the deep and dark mountain forest, yet anxiety sprouted from the bottom of his heart and took root, tearing open a hole.

Just where did this feeling of incompatibility come from?
