Chapter 462

"Damnable, this traitor actually made the list, it's really infuriating me to death…"

"Sigh! Heitong, him making the list isn't the scary part."

"The key is, haven't you noticed the problem?"

Xue Damo had by now already taken the Zhu Yan Ci Jing Pill, his appearance becoming extremely good-looking, and so he had removed the gauze veil.

"What problem?"

Heitong stared blankly at Xue Damo.

A sentence flashed silently through his heart,

"Xue Xiu is really good-looking! Too bad what the Heavenly Dao Golden List bestowed upon me isn't the Zhu Yan Ci Jing Pill…"

What the Heavenly Dao Golden List bestowed upon Heitong was a Samsara Pill.

This was because what Heitong cultivated was the Death Crossing!

"Being handsome is also a kind of trouble!"

Xue Damo saw Heitong staring at him in a daze, and secretly laughed in his heart,

yet said with his mouth,

"This traitor's strength has already far surpassed ours!"

"That's right…"

Heitong jolted awake.

Heitong ranked twenty-ninth, Xue Damo ranked twenty-eighth.

And the Scripture King, ranked twenty-seventh!

Even so, this was still after he had been injured by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, and had never recovered.

"Could it be that to deal with this traitor, we can only let the Demon Lord act personally?"

Heitong felt somewhat vexed.

In her life, the one she was most grateful to was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

Yet the Scripture King had betrayed the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen—how could Heitong possibly tolerate this?

But the gap in strength was indeed despairing.

"Either we break through in a short period of time."

Xue Damo smiled, as if without the slightest pressure,

"Or we find them and join forces to deal with the Scripture King!"

"Who?"

"The Qinglong Society!"

292—Flying Tiger Escort Agency!

The Great Han was once a top-tier dynasty standing on equal footing with the Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang.

The Great Song, Great Sui, Great Ming, and Great Qing were one tier below.

At its most prosperous, the Great Han could make peace with the Great Qin in the west and resist the Great Yuan in the north, unmatched in glory for a time.

But all things under heaven, flourish to the extreme and then decline.

After the previous Emperor passed away, the situation in the Great Han instantly spiraled out of control.

Various feudal lords rose one after another, heroes vying for the Great Han's imperial power.

Ximen Wudi had long seen through the Great Han's internal strife, and so had planted seeds.

Among several of the feudal lords, the Qinglong Society was pushing from behind.

In the end, the Qinglong Society pushed the Han imperial Xian Emperor as ruler, Zhao Yun as commander, and Pang Tong as chancellor, unifying the Great Han's realm.

After successive bloody battles among the feudal lords, the Great Han had already declined considerably.

The nation's fortunes had plummeted, and now was precisely the time for reconstruction.

But just not long ago, Zhang Jiao, who had once launched the Huangjin Uprising, was rumored to have been reborn and returned.

At this time he once again called upon the Great Han's common people to oppose the court's tyranny.

Yet the Great Han's common people were easily ignited; now in at least half of the thirteen provinces of the Great Han, Huangjin Army rebels were causing chaos.

The Xian Emperor issued an edict, ordering Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and others to each lead troops to strike and pacify the Huangjin bandits.

The Great Han's realm, for a time, fell into chaos.

This day happened to be the day of Lu Tengkong, the chief escort of the Great Han's number one escort agency, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, retiring from the martial world.

Escort agencies and orthodox Wu Lin sects from all over the Great Han sent people to offer congratulations.

Lu Tengkong received each of them one by one, then laid out a banquet.

After a day of joyful drinking, the retirement ceremony finally began.

Just as Lu Tengkong was about to place both hands into the golden basin, several groups of people arrived outside the escort agency.

"The Blazing Fire Palace's Blazing Fire Ancestor offers congratulations."

"The Ghost Palace's Ghost Saint offers congratulations."

"Mr. Six Fingers of Mount Wuyi offers congratulations."

"Han Xun of the Diancang Sect offers congratulations."

"'Poison-Handed Luo Sha' He Qinghua offers congratulations."

"Dongfang Bai of the Tianlong Sect offers congratulations."

As several voices rang out, the not-large Flying Tiger Escort Agency was instantly packed with people.

These six groups were precisely the six great sects that could be counted among the Great Han's territory.

Among them, the Tianlong Sect, Ghost Palace, and Blazing Fire Palace were the very cream of the Great Han's Wulinmen Sect.

Lu Tengkong's face was full of astonishment. Though he was known as the number one escort under heaven,

his standing in the Great Han jianghu was far inferior to that of the Liudamen Sect.

Now not only had the Liudamen Sect come, the sect leaders themselves had personally arrived to offer congratulations.

"What virtue or ability do I, Lu Tengkong, possess, to trouble the six seniors with your presence?"

Each of these men had a strange appearance, and now arriving together, Lu Tengkong immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Escort-Lord Lu, congratulations."

Han Xun was the lowest in status among the six. Seeing him get straight to the point, he said directly,

"We have come for the 'Heavenly Demon Qin.'"

"What? The 'Heavenly Demon Qin'?"

Every martial artist of the Great Han Wu Lin present exchanged uneasy glances.

Twenty years ago, these Liudamen Sect had killed Huang Zheng and his wife for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Qin.

In the end, the Heavenly Demon Qin fell into a deep valley along with Huang Xuemei.

It happened that Ximen Wudi was passing by and brought Huang Xuemei back to the Qinglong Society.

Now Huang Xuemei was one of the Qinglong Society's Four Season Protectors—"Autumn Wind"!

Had these Liudamen Sect gone mad craving the Heavenly Demon Qin?

Huang Xuemei hadn't come to trouble them, yet they wanted to go trouble Huang Xuemei?

But that wasn't right either!

Flying Tiger Escort Bureau should have no connection to Huang Xuemei, right?

For a moment, the martial artists present had their thoughts racing like lightning, unable to figure out what trick the Liudamen Sect was playing.

"Are the six Weizhang Sect speaking in jest?"

If it had been anyone ordinary, Lu Tengkong would have already turned hostile. But these Liudamen Sect were not easy to provoke,

so Lu Tengkong could only force a smile,

"This Heavenly Demon Qin, everyone in the world knows is in Huang Xuemei's hands."

"And Huang Xuemei is currently at the Qinglong Society."

"If the Liudazhang Sect want the Heavenly Demon Qin, why not go up to the Qinglong Society to ask for it?"

"My Flying Tiger Escort Bureau has not the slightest connection with the Qinglong Society!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Han Xun neither affirmed nor denied, and stretched out his hand to point toward the back of the escort bureau,

"I heard that the other day, Flying Tiger Escort Bureau took on a big job."
