However, before leaving, he still asked one question to confirm: "Such a precious treasure, are you really going to give it away?"
"If Lord Red Eyebrows is uneasy, you may draw up a contract." With a flip of his palm, the familiar mottled animal hide quietly reappeared.
……
Ultimately, a sword pact imprinted with a special aura was formed between the two.
With the animal hide tucked into his robes, Xu Qing and Situ Wanli exchanged no more words and turned to step into the secluded forest.
Shadows loomed, and only Tianze stood in the wind, holding the Dragon and Snake Twin Swords.
He has always been a doer.
Although he knew that the city of Xinzheng was rife with unpredictable events and that countless eyes were searching for his whereabouts, entering the city at this moment would be like a moth drawn to a flame.
But so what?
Since escaping his predicament, every step he has taken has been fraught with peril.
afraid?
He was never afraid.
Tianze's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked towards Xinzheng.
In his heart, Emerald Tiger was already a dead man.
……
It is still the same Xinzheng city, shrouded in turmoil.
Every now and then you could see soldiers hurrying by.
But in reality, these people are of no use whatsoever.
This dilapidated city, from the royal palace to the inner and outer city walls, has been thoroughly infiltrated, like a sieve.
For some people, it's a matter of coming in and going out whenever they want.
In the city, there is a secluded manor.
The jade tiger is temporarily residing here.
This is the residence of the late grain merchant, Old Chen.
The other party once spent a fortune to acquire the Heavenly Wrath Sword, but ultimately it was targeted by the Jade Tiger.
So he died under the cover of night, and that sword became Ji Wuye's possession.
After the other party died, Jade Tiger bought everything from him at a low price.
This manor is one of them.
In the past, with Lanxiu Villa in front of it, this house was not worth considering. However, now that Lanxiu Villa has been reduced to ashes, this place has become a refuge.
The wine was poured down my throat.
Unlike my usual pastimes, this time it's purely for relieving my sorrows.
Thinking of the Baiyue demoness who burned down the manor, Emerald Tiger couldn't help but grin.
"Sooner or later... I'll make you pay the price!" Amidst the hateful shouts, greedy lust unconsciously seeped from his murky eyes.
That vixen was ruthless, but her figure and appearance... just thinking about her makes one's lower abdomen feel hot.
"Boss! It's terrible! Fire! Another fire!"
Just then, the scream that brought back his nightmare struck the Emerald Tiger like a death knell!
The jade tiger trembled violently, nearly dropping the glass cup from its hand, its chubby face instantly tightening: "Wh-what?"
Chapter 89: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain, A Surprise Attack on Snowcloth Fortress!
Within a short period of time, the place where Emerald Tiger lived was hit by two fires.
This made him suspect that he was being targeted by the Baiyue people.
If the first time could be understood as the Baiyue people wanting that sword.
So this second time.
That made him realize.
The Baiyue people's goal was never the sword.
He rushed out of the hall in a panic, only to see raging flames greedily devouring the manor where he was temporarily staying.
Just like last time, the strange flames controlled by Yan Lingji were extremely intense and could not be extinguished by ordinary means.
"Quickly! Go and fetch the Blood-Clad Marquis!"
Jade Tiger practically roared as he gave orders to his guards.
Although no Baiyue assassins have been seen yet, the fact that the manor caught fire out of nowhere is enough to prove that the enemy is hiding in the shadows.
At this moment, only the Blood-Clad Marquis has the ability to protect him.
One of his subordinates received the order and ran off at full speed to inform the Blood-Clad Marquis.
Watching the man's departing figure, Emerald Tiger's mind raced.
"No, I have to go myself!"
A change of heart can happen in an instant.
He suddenly realized that the Blood-Clad Marquis was of such high status that he would not deign to travel such a long distance to protect him.
Instead of waiting for the other side to help, it is better to take the initiative to go to Snowcloak Castle for refuge.
Even though Snowcloth Fortress is bitterly cold and Bloodcloth Marquis is aloof, at least there is... safe and secure.
Surrounded by several guards, Emerald Tiger had no choice but to abandon the property once again, board the carriage, and speed out of the city.
On the hills outside the city, Snowcloak Fortress stood majestically; that was his destination.
Unbeknownst to him, several cold gazes were fixed on his departing carriage, like shadows following him.
"He really is a guy who values his life like gold."
In the shadows, Tianze smirked and whispered to Yan Lingji beside him.
"Follow him."
After accepting Xu Qing's commission, Tianze led his men to infiltrate Xinzheng once again.
After finding the location of the Emerald Tiger, he did not immediately attempt to kill it.
After the last battle, Emerald Tiger's guards must have increased significantly. While a direct assault might succeed, the risks are high, and a slight misstep could lead to being surrounded and unable to escape.
However, the jade tiger's "love of life" and "overconfidence" provided just the right opportunity.
Tianze was well aware that if that obese body were to hide inside Bai Yifei's Snow Robe Fortress, he would have no way to make a move.
Fortunately, Snowcloth Fortress is located outside the city.
The vast wasteland stretching from the city center to the outskirts was the perfect place to begin.
No matter how much noise they made, no one bothered to investigate.
Jade Tiger's carriage sped along, and in his desperate attempt to survive, he urged the driver on.
If the horses he kept were not all fine steeds, they would probably have been unable to bear the weight of his enormous body and the luxurious carriage.
But sometimes, having a fast horse is not enough.
If the road is bad, even a legendary Dou Di (Battle Emperor) riding a horse could perish in an avalanche.
The road leading to Snowcoat Castle was clearly not smooth.
Boom!
The ground suddenly cracked open.
The startled horses neighed and went out of control, causing the carriage to tilt violently and overturn with a crash.
"Protect the employer!!"
The butler's shrill voice rang out.
The guards rode around them on horseback, swords drawn, on high alert.
The next second, countless hideous zombies staggered out from the woods on both sides, rushing forward one after another, maggots wriggling on their rotting bodies, and a stench filling the air.
The guards, suppressing their nausea, swung their blades with all their might, but the blades had no effect on the inanimate object.
Emerald Tiger, who had just scrambled out of the carriage with the help of the butler, was terrified upon seeing this scene.
"It's a corpse-driving demon!"
He roared, "Stop them!"
The guards gritted their teeth and spurred their horses toward the horde of corpses.
Amidst the flashing swords and clashing blades, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air and hurtled straight towards the core!
A colossal man, as imposing as a mountain, stormed in, his iron fists striking, sending guards sprawling and their formation collapsing instantly.
The peerless demon arrived with overwhelming force!
……
Inside Snowcoat Castle.
Bai Yifei had just quietly returned from the palace.
With the King of Han in a coma, General Ji Wuye and Chancellor Zhang Kaidi guarded the palace gates. Undercurrents were swirling within the palace, and even he wanted to know the specific situation inside.
So he entered the palace through a secret passage and met his cousin.
Originally, he intended to teach his younger sister some things, but instead, he unexpectedly encountered a restless little mouse in the palace.
If it were a man, or an impure woman, Bai Yifei would have snapped their neck long ago.
But this little mouse is different.
She was a beautiful young woman.
