Chapter 583: Killing Army
If you want to truly understand some things, you must rely on yourself to comprehend them.

Even if others could see through it and speak out...it would be of no use.

It may even affect your chance of enlightenment.

If before today, Yu Cang had told Gu Jieshuang that she had comprehended the sword intent, she would definitely be confused... and then, out of trust in Cang, she would have kept working hard towards the sword intent, trying to dig out the hidden sword intent... and this would only bury the sword intent deeper and deeper in her heart.

Once you get stuck in a dead end, it's hard to get out.

At that time, Yu Cang couldn't say it, and it is still the same now.

One day, when Gu Jieshuang had a flash of inspiration and realized that her sword intent was not complete... that was when she transformed again.

While a few people were chatting, Wen Ren Ge, who was standing aside, looked at this place with a complicated expression.

The scene just now... was so spectacular.

It was hard to imagine that the person surrounded by thousands of swords, who looked like a sword god... was actually one of his junior schoolmates, the one who would inherit his position as the president of the combat club next year.

He... Even if he tried his best, he wouldn't be able to survive an attack like that...

He saw several legendary long swords alone, and weapons like that did not require any preparation; they could be summoned with just a thought!
If he and Gu Jieshuang were to duel, and she started with an attack like this, Wen Renge couldn't imagine how he would be able to resist.

Is this still someone of his age?
In the past few days, he also learned a little about what sword intent is, and the result was... a bit confusing.

Something that even myths may not be able to comprehend... There are only two people in the Eastern Continent who possess the sword intent, and one of them is an old fellow who lived two thousand years ago.

Is this the kind of thing they should be exposed to at their age?
Damn it, having only Yu Cang as a genius is enough, why do we need another one!
For a moment, Wen Ren Ge felt like crying but had no tears.

I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate to live in the same era and country as this kind of person.

I heard... Duan Feng also comprehended the rudiments of sword intent?
He thought he was qualified to compete with Duan Feng, but...

Wen Ren Ge looked at his hands.

If only he could understand that.

Ugh.

At this time, Du Yanran came over.

"Since you're awake, shall I cancel the armed chariot first? It needs to consume ammunition to maintain its existence, and such a chariot is too conspicuous in the Changsheng Tent."

Yu Cang nodded: "Of course - it won't be needed next time."

They sneaked in, so they must have kept a low profile for a while, otherwise they would be easily exposed.

Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly——

Whoosh!
Qiu Jindong's figure suddenly rushed out, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, and then he kicked up -

Snapped!
A rusty dagger was kicked away by Qiu Jindong. After spinning a few times in the air, it stuck into the ground.

Qiu Jindong withdrew his foot and looked at the two hunters who were shivering on the ground with calm eyes.

Next to him, Lou Yan also fell to the ground, looking frightened and gasping for breath.

Yu Cang frowned and walked forward: "Qiu Zhenguo, what happened just now?"

Qiu Jindong: "...these two hunters want to kill Lou Yan."

Hearing this, Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He turned around and suddenly laughed: "I knew there was something fishy... You guys really have bad intentions."

When he said this, his imperial heart had already been slightly activated, and there was a hint of imperial power in it.

Yu Cang did this in order to break down the psychological defenses of the two hunters so that they would reveal who ordered them, but...

"Sir...sir, spare your life! Spare your life!"

The male hunter curled up on the ground, trembling all over, but still insisted on knocking his head repeatedly... But there was no one where he was knocking, he was just knocking randomly.

On the other side, the female hunter was in an even more exaggerated state. Her body was completely twisted on the ground and she was shaking constantly, as if she had suffered a stroke.

...No, it was a stroke.

She was foaming at the mouth.

Yu Cang frowned.

Is this... necessary to be so scared?

The killer sent by the person behind the scenes can't possibly have just this kind of psychological quality... Could it be just acting?

While Yu Cang was thinking, Lou Yan, who was sitting beside him, came up, rolled up the clothes and stuffed them into the mouth of the female hunter, then began to pinch her philtrum hard to prevent her from fainting.

Yu Cang: "I said..."

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"

"..."

Yu Cang couldn't help but remain silent.

Could he really be an ordinary person?

Looking at their strength, they are only at the second level of Soul Card Masters. Any normal person would have this level by this age.

But just now...

At this time, Qiu Jindong looked over and asked: "What should we do with these people?"

Yu Cang put his hands in his pockets, opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said:

"What does Qiu Zhenguo think?"

"Kill them." Qiu Jindong said, "If we spare their lives, it will only expose our whereabouts."

"Then..."

Yu Cang had the words on his lips, but he couldn't say them.

Qiu Jindong looked at Yu Cang like this, his eyes moved slightly, but he was not surprised.

After all, he is just a young man.

Just now, facing Salang and Fashi, Yu Cang, who was able to kill decisively and make decisions with his own will, seemed a little embarrassed.

Judging from Yu Cang's previous performance, he shouldn't have asked me questions now. When he realized that he couldn't get anything out of me, he should have killed me directly.

At most, let them do it.

Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong said, "Do you think that they might just be ordinary people, and it's too hasty to deal with it like this?"

"..."

"In fact, we don't need to hide our whereabouts - sneaking into the Longevity Tent was just a spur of the moment decision, and the only reasonable purpose was to conceal Senior Tai Hina's identity. But since we've already entered the Longevity Tent, we can just make it clear. There's no need to kill anyone just to hide our whereabouts, let alone kill ordinary people."

Yu Cang took a deep breath: "That's right."

"But..." Qiu Jindong said, "We are in the heart of the enemy country. The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we are not careful, we will die without a burial place. Moreover, military orders cannot be changed overnight, and we cannot be indecisive. Since we have decided to sneak in secretly to test before joining the Great King's Court, we must execute it to the end.

"There is no joking in the military. If you break your words the next second, then others will inevitably think that your next words are a joke and will not be willing to carry them out seriously. Then, morale will be completely lost, and how can you fight? As the commander of this operation, you must understand this."

Hearing this, Yu Cang fell into a long silence.

Qiu Jindong didn't say anything else, but just looked at him, waiting for him to speak again.

Du Yanran behind him glanced at Qiu Jindong a few times.

He is the commander of this operation... Well, never mind.

In short, just listen to Yu Cang.

After a long time, Yu Cang let out a long breath.

"I see."

Yu Cang raised his hand, the soul card shattered, and a sword of punishment emerged from it.

"I'll do it myself."

Seeing this, Qiu Jindong finally smiled.

Not bad.

Although Yu Cang did not have the responsibility of commanding this trip, he actually had the power of command.

The reason for doing this, besides considering that no one could command Dong Taichu, was definitely a test from Di Changan.

This is equivalent to Di Changan having said it clearly - just do it, if there is any success you will get a share of the credit, and if there is any trouble, Du Yanran, the nominal commander, will take the blame.

Although it sounds a bit unfair to Du Yanran, in fact, even if he takes the blame, Du Yanran will not be punished. At most, he will be promoted in name only and transferred in secret. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Cang will hold a high position in Yan Country in the future. Du Yanran doesn't have to worry about his future at all after accompanying him on this trip.

Even Du Yanran was not qualified to take the blame, so he had to wait until Qiu Jindong came.

Of course, finding someone to take the blame is not the main purpose - gaining experience is.

Yu Cang is young after all, and he will never understand things like this unless he experiences them personally.

When Yu Cang takes over Di Chang'an's position in the future, there will be many more difficult decisions to make than this.

Yu Cang's eyes gradually turned cold. He waved his hand and was about to let the Sword of Justice kill the two people. At this time, Lou Yan suddenly came up:
"Wait...no!"

hum-

The Sword of Sanction stopped in mid-air. Yu Cang's eyes fell on Lou Yan and said, "What's the reason?"

"They are the people of the Hunter Tribe and must abide by the Hunter Tribe's laws..."

"Don't try to trick me." Yu Cang said, "This has nothing to do with me. Besides, you treat them as your subjects, but they may not treat you as a prince. Just now, they were the ones who wanted to kill you."

Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Wait... I can interrogate them first. I will definitely be able to find out what you are interested in!"

"..."

Yu Cang moved his fingers slightly, and the Sword of Judgment pierced into the ground, dissipating into soul card fragments.

Spell cards are not equipment after all, and cannot exist for such a long time.

"My time is limited." Yu Cang said, "Before you return to the Great King's Court, you must fully cooperate with our actions."

"I know... Don't worry, I understand."

Lou Yan stood up: "Um, Yu Cang...can you help me clean up the smell on my body?"

Yu Cang didn't say anything. He waved his hand and activated the soul card he had just made. A ray of light flowed through Lou Yan's body, completely removing the stench of corpse.

I just finished dealing with the corpse when I encountered Iron Man, and I didn’t have time to use this card.

When the soul card's light swept over him, Lou Yan looked completely new. Without hesitation, he immediately squatted down and approached the hunter man who smelled sour all over.

"Old man...don't worry, I am the prince of the Great King's Court. I will ask you a few questions. As long as you answer truthfully, there will be no problem."

"me……"

The man was still shaking, but with Lou Yan's comfort, he felt much better than before.

He lowered his brows and looked cautiously at Lou Yan, then at Yu Cang's legs - his gaze only went here and he didn't dare to go any further up.

"Okay... okay, I will definitely tell you, I will definitely tell you..."

"Come on, get up first."

Lou Yan tried to help the man up, but the man seemed to be stressed and did not dare to get up. Instead, he knelt back on the ground.

“…Then I’ll ask this.”

Lou Yan lowered his head as much as he could.

"Old man, why did you want to kill me just now?"

"me……"

"It's okay, just say it."

"I...I didn't mean it, sir." The man looked bitter. "I just remembered seeing...saw your portrait in the tent. It seemed like a wanted poster. So I thought...thought..."

"Me?" Lou Yan pursed his lips, "But even if you kill me, it's useless. There are so many of us. How can you go back alive to claim the reward?"

These two people were just being chased by an iron man in such a miserable state, and any one of them in their team could defeat that iron man.

How could they be so confident that they could pull off this act right under their noses?
"I... I don't want to either." The man pressed his forehead to the ground, his fists clenched, "We really have no other choice... There are nine people in my family, and now there are only two of us left. We don't have any talent, but we were chosen a few days ago to make human pills...

"We can only run away...but bounties are good. As long as we can complete a bounty, not only can we get a lot of things, but also let our youngest sister not have to make human pills...Just now I just thought that the adults were far away and I had a chance to succeed. After I was killed, I could let my youngest sister sell her body, and maybe I could get away with it..."

Lou Yan: “…”

He turned his head and glanced at Yu Cang, but found that Yu Cang's expression had not changed at all.

He knew that even though he had found out the reason, it was not enough to make Yu Cang interested.

So he quickly turned around and spoke again: "So where did you originally plan to escape to? Have you ever thought that we might have let you go, but if you did this, it would be like forcing us to kill you?"

"I..." The man's lips trembled, and after a long while he spoke, "We heard that there was a killing army in the south, and we wanted to join them... This is our only way to survive, but we are not soul card masters, and the killing army probably doesn't think highly of us... Just now, just now... Maybe this is the only chance..."

Hearing this, Lou Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately asked: "Killing Army? What is that?"

"The Killing Army... is... an army formed by people who have conflicts with the Tent... They..."

At this time, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Rebels?"

“I-I don’t dare…” The man immediately kowtowed after hearing this, “I didn’t say that, I didn’t say that… I didn’t say that!”

Yu Cang: "..."

"Okay, old man." Lou Yan said quickly, "Tell us in detail about this killing army, and we can let you go."

The man raised his head slightly: "Really...really?"

"Of course, you say."

"Okay... okay, I'll tell you." The man paused, "Um... gentlemen, are you, are you from the Killing Army?"

"we are not."

"Okay, okay... The Killing Army, they... they can't stand the behavior of a few people in the tent, so they want to use force to win..."

The man stumbled over his words.

It can be seen that the man is not very educated. What he says is sometimes incoherent and illogical. He just says whatever comes to his mind.

The above conversations are all information that Yu Cang has directly sorted out from the Starry Sky Vision level.

Moreover, the men are obviously afraid that they will deliberately ask questions, so they always try to say things that do not offend either side and sound like good people.

But judging from his reaction, that was obviously not the case.
