Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 163: The Arrival of the Assassin

"Chen Si, the Sword God in White!"

"Bai Mu, the Fairy of Scattered Flowers!"

The Demon Cult has arrived!

The most feared thing has happened!

Shen Jianxin and Murong Yi's faces were serious, but their bodies couldn't stop trembling.

They were all sixth-rank Practitioners. This was not considered low in the escort bureau, but how could they be opponents of the two fifth-rank experts who had dominated the Five Elements for many years and were famous throughout the land?

"T-Two, two seniors..."

Shen Jianxin's voice trembled as he cupped his fists. "P-Please, spare us. Our escort bureau is willing, willing..."

"Hehe..."

Bai Mu chuckled. "Why waste words? What is your escort bureau? Come, take them down!"

Dozens of Demon Cult disciples instantly pressed the three of them down and held knives to their necks.

No one was not afraid of death! And no one was willing to just sit and wait for death. This escort mission was probably impossible to save, but...

The three of them exchanged glances and looked at the ordinary Demon Cult disciples around them, attempting to escape. However, the next moment, they realized that there were ten sixth-rank Practitioners among the ordinary disciples. How could they escape?

"The goods from this shipment will be left behind by the Demon Cult!" From a distant branch, the Sword God in White remained as cold as ice, looking at the moon as if he didn't care about anyone.

"Sen-Senior..."

Shen Jianxin seemed to want to struggle a bit more, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw Xin Zhuo beside him, eating jerky nonstop and looking at him eagerly.

"You..."

This caught her off guard. She could clearly see that this person's face was calm, without a trace of fear. A nameless anger rose in her heart, and she lowered her voice to scold him, "You brat, have you gone mad? Can't you see the situation?"

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard by a sixth-rank female disciple of the Demon Cult behind her. Dazed, she saw that the group of Demon Cult disciples behind her all knelt down, their faces becoming respectful and docile.

Even the "Sword God in White" on the treetop looked down abruptly, his eyes wide open, losing all his momentum. He hurriedly landed and ran over, his face showing a difficult flattering smile.

On the other side, the "Fairy of Scattered Flowers" had already landed, running barefoot all the way. In an instant, she transformed from a charming demon leader into a village woman, her face full of flattery.

When they approached, the two of them bowed together. "Master, why are you here?"

"Demon Cult, Master?"

Shen Jianxin looked at Xin Zhuo in surprise, her head spinning again. So the Demon Cult had already set their sights on them, and the Master personally took action...

Murong Yi and Li Wumian also looked up at Xin Zhuo in confusion. They knew Xin Zhuo's background, but when did he become... the Master of the Demon Cult?

Xin Zhuo pondered. He hadn't expected himself to become the Master of the Demon Cult either.

...

Beside the escort team, a pile of torches was lit, and Chen Si, Bai Mu, and Xin Zhuo sat in a circle.

Shen Jianxin and the other two were also there, but they had become prisoners, silent and speechless.

"The Master was truly awe-inspiring that day, single-handedly killing Tang Wuwo, Du San Gu, and the Lord of the Divine Spear Manor, Shangguan Ting!"

Chen Si's words once again made Shen Jianxin and the others tremble with fear. They secretly glanced at Xin Zhuo, not knowing how to express their emotions.

Bai Mu also smiled and tried to please. "After the Master left, we, the subordinates, looted most of the treasures and cultivation techniques of the Divine Spear Manor, leaving only a little for Tang Shize and the others to survive. We also used the antidote you left on the wall to detoxify them."

However... we have already done such things, I'm afraid our good reputation cannot be regained. Di Huaijie, Song Wudi, Zhuge Ming, and others discussed and established the Demon Cult.

But the identity of the Lord of the Cult, we absolutely will not mention it!

Xin Zhuo looked at the two of them and fell silent for a moment. "I don't oppose you creating the Demon Cult, that's your business and you should have your own life. But I won't take the position of the Lord of the Cult."

Although I come from a bandit background, I feel a bit uneasy about the Demon Cult.

He continued, "Why not let Di Huaijie be the Lord? We don't need to mention the Demon Cult."

Chen Si and Bai Mu exchanged glances. They felt that it would be somewhat lacking in meaning if Di Huaijie became the Lord. "Let whoever dies, die," they shouted loudly. It was still a bit lacking in means. They cupped their fists and said, "Yes!"

Bai Mu looked at Shen Jianxin and the others again. "This Changfeng Escort Agency has no fear and actually hired the former Lord as a servant. They really have no vision. Should we kill them and feed them to the dogs?"

Alright, I have become the former Lord.

Shen Jianxin couldn't help but tremble and kept his head down, not daring to make a sound.

Xin Zhuo waved his hand casually. "Forget it! After all, we have benefited from them along the way, so let them go!"

Before Shen Jianxin could express his gratitude, Chen Si, who was pondering something, suddenly looked at Xin Zhuo. "Sir... a few days ago, I heard a piece of news, I don't know if it's true or false, but it's related to the former Lord. It's quite shocking!"

Xin Zhuo was surprised. "Tell me about it."

Chen Si leaned closer. "My brother is in the Gu Cang Sect. A few days ago, he sent a letter saying that... the Shaolin, Wudang, Gu Cang, Lingjian, and Heshan Sects have sent four Half-step Great Masters and one small Great Master to... kill the former Lord."

Xin Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. Even if the Shaolin, Wudang, and Lingjian Sects targeted him because of Master Xingchi, Song Xijun, and Zhao Lihe, he could somewhat understand. But when did he provoke Gu Cang and Heshan?

He asked, "When did this happen? Is the information accurate?"

Chen Si frowned slightly. "This... I only heard my brother mention it. I'm not sure about the specifics."

Xin Zhuo fell silent for a long time. He was still half a month away from reaching the level of a Half-step Great Master. He didn't know if he could defeat a Half-step Great Master, let alone a small Great Master. He couldn't go to the Dukang Mansion, as it would easily involve Cui Ying'er and the others.

He looked at the two of them. "Do you have any money on you?"

Chen Si and Bai Mu were taken aback for a moment, seemingly not understanding the former Lord's predicament. They took out a total of forty-five taels of silver and three one-hundred-tael silver notes.

Xin Zhuo reached out and took them. "That's enough!"

With a flash of his figure, he had already disappeared from the spot.

Just as Xin Zhuo disappeared, Chen Si and Bai Mu, who were scolding Shen Jianxin and the others, were about to leave.

In the night sky, a figure swiftly approached and lightly stood on a branch. Surprisingly, it was a woman in her thirties, wearing a water-green long dress. Her sleeves danced lightly, and a majestic and heavy aura instantly descended.

Not only Shen Jianxin, Murong Yi, and the others, but even Chen Si and Bai Mu found it difficult to breathe and couldn't move at all.

"Susu..."

The sound of breaking wind filled the air as three water-based True Qi swords condensed and aimed directly at their foreheads.

The sharp and cold aura seemed to pierce their souls. Unable to move, their faces turned pale.

"Where did Xin Zhuo go?"

The woman on the branch asked coldly.

Chen Si and Bai Mu closed their eyes, refusing to answer. They had a very cunning and astute impression of Xin Zhuo. Even as Half-step Great Masters, they didn't dare to easily betray him.

But Li Wumian and Shen Jianxin had no burden in their hearts and silently pointed in a direction. "Over there!"

The woman's figure flashed, carrying the three water-based True Qi swords, and disappeared into the night.
