Chapter 355: Betrayal, no where to escape!
Beiyuezhou, where King Qingyang was located, was not a big state. Although it was vast, the environment was bad because it was close to Hunxi Mountain. In addition, there were more demons, and from time to time, demon descendants would slaughter people wantonly and perform blood sacrifices to comfort their ancestors.

So the population of North Vietnam is not large.

But to be able to survive in such a harsh environment, one can imagine that the people here are quite tough.

The capital of Beiyue Province was called "Qingyang Prefecture".

King Qingyang has a very high prestige in Beiyue Province, and this city is named after his title.

Although the King of Qingyang rebelled against the imperial court in the early years, his power as the Heavenly King was real. The title of Heavenly King was still retained, and the name of Qingyang Prefecture was not changed. Although Beiyue Province was poor, Qingyang Prefecture was a prosperous city.

Especially in recent days, Longyuan has been opened.

It attracted practitioners from all corners of the world, and people dressed in strange clothes walked on the street. Two of them looked ordinary, casually looking at the objects displayed in the surrounding shops. Walking side by side on the street, they were inconspicuous and did not attract any extra attention.

Of the two men, the one on the left had broad shoulders, thick hands and feet, sallow and rough skin, a dull face, and no spirit in his eyes, like a farmer facing the loess and back to the sky.

The other person was a little younger, but also looked tired.

He was casually wearing a linen shirt and two black short sticks were tied to a belt made of woven straw ropes.

In Zhongzhou, the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are three major assassin organizations, namely Blood Shadow Tower, Red Dust Prison and Wanliu Villa.

Among these three major killer organizations.

The Blood Shadow Building has the fewest people and is the most mysterious, but it also has the highest upper limit.

Legend has it that as long as they are paid enough, there is no one in this world that they dare not target, except for those high-ranking people.

And although this organization has not made many moves, there are only a few records of suspected moves, involving the leader of the Immortal Sect, the Golden Family, etc., which have caused a considerable shock among some major forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two people in front of them are the top-ranked "Tian" assassins in the Blood Shadow Tower.

The one on the left with thick hands and feet, who looks like a farmer, is named Huang Cheng, and the other one with a short stick tied around his waist is called Zhao Yun.

He is just an elite member of the Blood Shadow Building and a feared assassin in the martial arts world.

There was a barely perceptible trace of bitterness on both of their faces.

We went to a restaurant on the street and sat down.

Huang Cheng ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea, while Zhao Yun opposite him crossed his legs and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside.

Soon after, the waiter came with a sackcloth on his shoulders, carrying a plate and tea and placed them on the table.

Huang Cheng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. He stuck out his tongue and licked the salt on the chopsticks. Then he frowned and said in a bitter and resentful tone, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to taste this again in the future."

The Blood Shadow Tower is feared by everyone in the martial arts world.

To be honest, it is indeed extraordinary, because it has the support of the imperial court.

Since they obtained a large amount of resources and intelligence from the imperial court, they were bound to be controlled and constrained, and forced to perform some missions that were almost certain to lead to their death.

Although Huang Cheng and Zhao Yun were both strong, the probability of their success in assassinating the Heavenly King, even if he was severely injured, was extremely low.

If both of them had the fighting power of a king.

Wouldn’t it be great to split the land and become king?
There is no need to be a rat in the gutter like now, doing things that are hated by everyone in the underworld and cannot be seen in the light.

But the people above didn't care about that. Their lives were just some kind of bargaining chips that could be exchanged at will in the eyes of those bigwigs. From the moment they joined the Blood Shadow Building, their fate was completely out of their control.

King Dingxuan died, and after the trip to Longyuan, King Qingyang became more famous than ever.

Moreover, Su Heng was called the "Demon Dragon of the Northern Territory", so one can imagine what kind of image he played in the eyes of the empire's high-ranking officials. Su Heng and King Qingyang were too close, which made some people feel uneasy. They were afraid that the entire Northern Territory would be out of control, and the situation that could still be barely maintained would completely collapse.

Therefore, even if you know that the hope of success is slim.

We must also take advantage of this opportunity when King Qingyang is seriously injured and take a gamble.

If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. Even if it didn't work, the plan would fail, at most they would just lose two handy tools. It was just a pity for Huang Cheng and Zhao Yun. Although their cultivation was not weak, they were completely helpless on the chessboard.

Hearing Huang Cheng's complaint, Zhao Yun withdrew his gaze from the street. He thought for a moment and said, "This operation is not a sure thing. If we seize the opportunity properly, we two brothers can still have a chance to survive."

"Oh?" No one wants to die if they can live.

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Huang Cheng's dull eyes suddenly brightened up, "I'd like to hear more about it."

Zhao Yun stretched out his index finger and dipped it in the tea.

He first drew a circle on the brown-red table, and then drew a curved line.

He pointed at the circle and said, "This is Dingshan City, where King Qingyang usually practices in seclusion and recuperates from his injuries."

Then Zhao Yun's finger landed on the curved wavy line, "This is Hunxi Mountain."

"A few days ago, demons were seen fleeing from Hunxi Mountain, causing chaos. I guess a powerful demon god escaped from the seal, causing this scene." Zhao Yun analyzed seriously, "We are trying to assassinate King Qingyang. If the mission fails, we will fly over Hunxi Mountain and escape to Longyuan."

"A lion won't react to a mouse intruding into its territory, but it will definitely react violently to the invasion of another lion." Zhao Yun smiled, "If King Qingyang catches up with us, the powerful demon god who just escaped will definitely not sit idly by. As long as the two clash, no matter who wins or loses, it will be an opportunity for us to escape from the battlefield."

"That's a good idea!" Huang Cheng thought for a moment, "Even if the higher-ups come to investigate, we've already taken action, so we can handle the situation."

"only……"

Huang Cheng frowned and said hesitantly, "What happened in Hunxi Mountain is very strange, and no one knows what is going on. What if the situation is different from what you said? Then we two brothers will fall into the trap and die in vain."

"Ah!" Zhao Yun sighed first, then smiled bitterly, "We have our heads tied to our belts. It's already quite good to have a glimmer of hope."

"That's true." Huang Cheng nodded.

If allowed, the two would like to go to Hunxi Mountain to investigate first.

It is even possible to use certain means to cause a small-scale beast tide and create chaos, which will make it much easier to take advantage of the situation.

However, Dingshan City was also heavily guarded, and some small actions could easily alert the enemy, exposing their whereabouts in advance. In addition, the longer the preparations were delayed, the more the injuries on King Qingyang's body would recover, and the probability of their success would become slimmer.

And there are people behind me who are urging me.

There was no time to think of a perfect plan, so I could only make do with the task at hand.

The two of them discussed the details of the action in detail and then began the action this evening.

……

……

……

In Dingshan City, in the residence of King Qingyang.

In a beautiful garden, the Qingyang King, who had just finished his retreat, was dressed in black clothes and had his long hair tied up. He was sitting on a bench, sipping tea slowly with a white porcelain teacup in his hand. Next to him was the bookish girl, Qin Yi.

With the dragon skeleton exchanged with Su Heng, King Qingyang’s injuries were completely healed.

And we will go one step further.

Now he has already touched the threshold of the third step of Earthly Immortal, the Qi Tian Realm.

But this guy was also a cunning person, and he did not appear in front of the world openly. Instead, he remained in seclusion to heal his wounds, and even imitated the paleness of his face and the sunken eye sockets vividly, looking like a person with declining energy and blood.

King Qingyang took a sip of the amber tea, then seemed to suddenly realize something and gently put down the teacup.

Then he raised his hand and waved gently.

Seeing this, Qin Yi said nothing and turned around and left tacitly.

Before leaving, she also took away the two golden-armored guards standing outside and several young maids.

Thus, the whole garden was bathed in the red light of the setting sun, empty, with only King Qingyang left.

At this time, King Qingyang gently stroked his beard and said calmly, "Come out, do you still need me to invite you?"

The evening breeze blew and the shadows swayed.

There was no movement in the garden, even the birdsong had magically disappeared.

King Qingyang looked displeased and snorted coldly. A ripple passed through the air and spread outward. In the shadow of the corner, there was a sudden twist. Then Huang Cheng and Zhao Yun staggered out from the inside, one on the left and one on the right, with ugly faces.

"He's still injured, he's just bluffing!" Zhao Yunli snorted and roared, "Go!"

boom!
Huang Cheng's face was ferocious and he put his arms together in front of his chest.

The aura on his body suddenly surged, his muscles expanded, and a layer of flowing blood appeared on his arms. Then the ground under his feet exploded, and he punched King Qingyang in the chest.

King Qingyang frowned slightly, seeming disappointed that he only caught these two small fish.

He thought about it and decided not to hide his strength any more. He simply released his Qi, and the sky suddenly became filled with a clear glass-like blue flame, and a dragon's roar could be heard. Then King Qingyang also pushed forward with his palm, colliding with Huang Cheng.

"Ah!" the latter screamed.

Green flames quickly spread around his body, and his flesh and blood fell off like melted candles.

"Save me!" He turned and reached out to his companion Zhao Yun for help, but the latter had already turned into a wisp of black smoke and fled in the direction of Hunxi Mountain.

Qin Yi walked out of an archway in the garden, looked at Huang Cheng with some regret, and then her clear eyes fell on King Qingyang, and she said in surprise, "That man is so treacherous, so shameless. Are you just going to let him go like this?"

King Qingyang put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and smiled, "He can't escape."

Qin Yi suddenly remembered that the demon dragon seemed to be practicing in seclusion in Hunxi Mountain at this time. And according to what the Heavenly King just said, it seems that he has come out of seclusion. The strength of King Qingyang has improved, which can be seen with the naked eye. It is said that the dragon's achievements are even greater than those of King Qingyang. I wonder what kind of attitude he will be in after coming out of seclusion.

When she thought of this, even though Qin Yi had a gentle and mature personality, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
