Chapter 24 Ghost Subhuti

Dayi Town is a small town on the border of Xuzhou.

With a population of less than 4,000 and surrounded by mountains and rivers, the roads were blocked. Even those traveling merchants who traveled through every region of the Great Zhou rarely chose to settle here.

It's too inconspicuous.

It was inconspicuous that even if Great Zhou sent out governors every three years, they would often miss out on this remote and barren town.

Of course, they might never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary small town had a palace hidden beneath it that was so huge that people were stunned.

The palace was called the Secluded Palace.

It was the palace of City King Bian, one of the Ten Halls of the Dark Asura Hall .

The palace was deep and gloomy. From time to time, roars that resembled humans and non-beasts echoed in the empty palace, making people feel as if they were in the Ghost Realm.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Secluded Mansion, a figure was half lying on the high platform in the middle of the main hall.

In the darkness, it was difficult to see the figure's appearance clearly. He only felt that his figure was rather short, as if he was only the size of an ordinary twelve or thirteen year old child. However, the faint black aura that filled his entire body made it impossible for anyone to look down on this figure in the slightest.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly rose from the empty palace, and the sound of wings flapping resounded from the stone pillars on both sides. Along with the hoarse bird's cry, hundreds of black crows flew up from the stone pillar. They were shocked by the night wind and flew elsewhere. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

The figure lying on the high platform seemed to have sensed something at that time, and his closed eyes suddenly opened at that moment.

The dark hall seemed to have lit up a little.

The short figure stood up, a kind of pitch-black light shining like stars, soft and bright.

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at a certain part of the hall. His lips slightly opened, and he spat out a soft voice like a girl's.

"King Chujiang, since you're here, why hide?"

Although her voice was young and tender, her tone was as cold as ice.

This contrast caused the strangeness of the hall to be magnified a little.

As soon as she finished speaking, the startled Night Ravens in the hall suddenly turned around as if they had received an edict. They swirled in midair and gathered in front of the short figure. Then, they merged into one body and turned into a figure covered in black robes.

The figure stood out of thin air, his soul-stirring eyes staring straight at the short figure in front of him under his hood. After a while, he asked in his hoarse voice, "Did you spread the news?"

When the short figure heard this, he was not surprised, as if he had already anticipated the problem with the black robe.

"Yes." She nodded in response.

Under the black robe hood, his eyes narrowed at that moment, and a scarlet light could be vaguely seen.

"Ghost Subhuti, are you still obsessed with Mo Chen Zi?" The black-robed voice grew louder at that time.

The short figure, the ghost Subhuti in the black robe, lifted his head and looked at the black robe. At that moment, his pitch-black eyes became ice-cold.

"I can't forget who I am thinking of. When will King Chu Jiang be worried about you? Canghai Liu is Mo Chen Zi's junior brother. Why can't I protect him?"

It was as if he was enraged by Gui Puti, and a trace of fear flashed through his black-robed eyes.

"So what? He's a traitor from the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum. His senior brother Mo Chen Zi can let him go, but who in the Great Zhou Empire, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu Empire doesn't want to pull that sword out of his mouth? Do you still expect the Jianghu Grasslands that captured him to let him go? He just left the wolf den and went back to the tiger's mouth."

After the black-robed man finished speaking, his gaze landed on Gui Puti's face. This was originally a provocative remark to see if Gui Puti had anything left to do. However, at this moment, Gui Puti's face was like a pool of stagnant water. It was calm, as if there was not the slightest fluctuation caused by the black-robed man's words.

This change shocked Black Robe's heart. Being able to sit on the throne of the Ten Halls of Dark Asura Hall , he naturally wouldn't be a fool. He would have some clue after going over the past once he had thought about it.

"Are you betting on that traitor?" He subconsciously asked, but he couldn't understand. Ghost Subhuti risked being punished by the Palace Master to save Vast Ocean Current, but the most crucial step was to suppress the black-clothed Asura that had betrayed the Dark Asura Hall a few days ago. With Ghost Subhuti's meticulous mind, he really couldn't understand why he could do such a risky thing.

"Hmph." When the black robe fell into Gui Puti's eyes, she naturally knew the doubts in his heart, but she did not hide his intentions and immediately let out a cold laugh. "Traitor? A traitor who is valued by Yuan Xiu and Canghai Liu at the same time. What kind of person do you think he is?"

" Yuan Xiucheng , the spy sent by Tiance Prefecture? You haven't gotten rid of him yet?" Gui Puti's question stunned Black Robe. Obviously, this matter was even more surprising to Black Robe than saving Canghai Liuliu.

"Since Headmaster Tiance Prefecture wants to know the secrets of our Dark Asura Hall , then why not tell him something? However, it is up to us to decide what he knows." Ghost Subhuti's face was still calm, and the confidence and imposing manner that he had grasped in everything made it impossible for anyone to have the slightest bit of doubt in their minds.

Hearing this, the black-robed man fell silent for a while. It was only after a long time that he raised his head and sighed slightly. "I hope you know what you're doing."

"Don't bother King Chujiang! Please!" Before the black robe could finish speaking, Ghost Subhuti waved his sleeves and stretched out a hand as white as jade, as if he had already issued an expulsion order.

"You!" The black-robed man pointed at the ghost Subhuti and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't spit out too many words. He took a deep look at Ghost Subhuti and waved his hand. At that time, his body turned into countless Night Ravens and fled towards the depths of the hall.

Xu Han arrived less than 50 feet away from the battlefield. He lay down and hid himself in the dense grass. The black cat beside him also bent down and lay beside Xu Han.

The Jianghu forces fighting for the Vast Ocean Stream had already become a mess. Shouts of killing and wailing resounded throughout. In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred corpses had fallen. The crowd that had just been overcrowded had shrunk from a total of 400 to less than 150. Moreover, as the fighting between them continued, this number was still decreasing.

Xu Han still didn't act rashly.

He knew very well that although these Jianghu Grasslands were in full swing at this moment, once he attacked, he would immediately become the target of public criticism if he attacked Canghai Liuliu, which was a hot spot in their eyes. Therefore, Xu Han had to wait until these people were exhausted and both sides were injured. That was the best time for him.

Therefore, he continued to wait.

Years of life and death had long since given him enough patience. In order to assassinate a wealthy gentry, he had squatted in the corner of his mansion for three days and nights. Only when the wealthy gentry was separated from his bodyguard did he kill the wealthy gentry like a tiger leopard. He killed the wealthy gentry with lightning speed and then escaped.

Timing is more important than strength. This was the truth that Xu Han had comprehended, and he believed that it was also the same at this moment.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the battle on the battlefield gradually came to an end.

More than 400 people had been killed, and there were only seven or eight left. They seemed to be from the same faction. After cleaning up their opponents, they put away their swords and knives. All of them had more or less wounds on their bodies. They looked extremely miserable, but the expressions on their faces were filled with unusual excitement.

They won the final victory.

Like a slaughtering troop of lions, the final victor will be rewarded with territory and delicious prey.

Canghai Liuliu was their prize.

He is neither a territory nor a fat meat, but behind him stands boundless wealth and supreme power.

The few of them looked at each other and smiled, their faces filled with unconcealable joy. Then, they dragged their exhausted bodies and slowly walked towards the prison cart not far away. They wanted to uncover the treasure that belonged to them. Just thinking about the wealth contained in that treasure made everyone's hearts surge with joy, as if they were about to overflow their chests.

Just as they arrived in front of the carriage and were about to tear apart the black cloth covering the carriage, a burst of void-piercing sounds suddenly sounded from behind them.

Although they weren't considered famous figures in Jianghu, they were all desperate people with extraordinary courage. Hearing the sound of the void breaking, their hearts were alert. Almost at the same time, they all turned around and saw a black-clothed youth with a broken arm rushing towards them with a strange-looking red longsword in hand.

Just as everyone turned their heads, the youth had already arrived in front of them. At that time, the sword in his hand slashed straight towards their faces with the force of hacking Mount Hua!

This was naturally an extremely strange move.

At least in their many years of fighting experience, they had never seen such a swordsman before.

However, they did not dare to be arrogant. The first person to bear the brunt of the attack immediately placed the saber in his hand across his forehead, trying to block the youth's strange attack.

Boom!

At this moment, the youth's sword slammed into his saber.

A loud rumble rang out in his mind, and he felt a numbness in his hand holding the knife. The numbness spread along his arm to his body, through his skin and hair, all the way to his organs.

Then, his eyes darkened and he spat out a mouthful of reverse blood, causing his body to collapse to the ground like mud.

When the surrounding people saw this, their hearts were filled with shock. They could not understand the origin of this young man who had suddenly appeared. The power of that sword strike had actually shocked a Danyang Realm expert to death with a saber.

"Miao!"

However, such astonishment arose in his heart. Suddenly, a mournful cry of a cat sounded. At that moment, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the youth's embrace and pounced towards one of the people's faces at a speed that was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture!
