The moon and the sea were shrouded in a thick, moist fog.
Tangxun was covered in blood and nervously searched for traces of the assassin.
The person who came was very powerful, coming and going without a trace. Every time he succeeded in a hit, he quickly hid in the fog.
After fighting for several rounds, he failed to see the opponent's appearance clearly.
He was exhausted and could only try to negotiate: "If you are interested in making money, I have all the property and treasures on my body here. Just take them away. I promise not to pursue them."
The other person's answer was to stab him hard in the back.
Tangxun knelt down on one knee and vomited blood. She really couldn't hold on any longer, so she asked, "I don't want wealth, I just want life. Prince, is that you?"
There was a soft "chi" sound, and his right leg was cut again.
When death was imminent, Tang Xun no longer tried to beg for mercy.
He clenched his spear and gathered strength, intending to fight to the death.
After a few more moves, a cold light flashed, and the chill stirred up the hair on his neck.
There was no way to avoid it, no way to fight, Tang Xun just closed her eyes and waited for death.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and blocked the fatal knife for him.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly..." Xuan Lizhu's face turned pale and he struggled to sacrifice the magic weapon.
"Li Zhu!" Tang Xun was shocked and very ashamed.
He had abandoned her before for power and reputation.
But she came at the critical moment and risked her life to save him.
Xuan Lizhu shook his head and smiled miserably: "Lizhu's life is worthless. I feel ashamed for dragging down His Highness. Please give me a chance to make amends. Please leave quickly..."
She pushed him hard, not noticing the long knife slashing down behind her.
Tangxun hugged her into his arms without thinking, blocking the fatal attack with his body.
The severe pain caused him to fall into unconsciousness instantly, and he fell straight into the sea with the Xuanli Pearl, drifting away with the current.
The tall monk emerged from the thick fog, wiped away all breath and traces, and left on his own.
The thick fog has dispersed and the sea is calm.
Shuhua, Su Daji, and Lingze arrived, but it was already a step too late.
Shuhua looked serious: "As far as you know, apart from the alliance, Mietian Pavilion and Immortal Court, which other force has such an intention? In other words, does Tangxun have any life-or-death enemies?"
It is too unusual for someone at the level of a divine king to attack Tangxun.
The alliance is not targeting Tangxun, and Dusu will not be stupid enough to take action here and now.
The existence of such a mysterious, powerful and unknown monk is also a potential threat to the alliance and must be dug out!
"We have never found that there is a third party. Tangxun is a just man and is deeply loved by the Immortal Emperor. Apart from the prince's lineage, I have never heard of him having any enemies..."
Midway through Su Daji's words, Lingze's voice came to his ears: "Tell her, this person must come from the Twenty-Four Divine Palaces of Immortal Court. No one can escape my pursuit except the Divine Lord of the Twenty-Four Divine Palaces."
Su Daji blinked and did not follow Lingze's instructions. Instead, he said, "I think we have to ask Lingze Secretary about this matter and ask him to come forward to search for Tang Xun's whereabouts."
"That's okay. Let our people go at full speed immediately to look for Tang Xuan and the stranger's scent."
The strength of the alliance alone was not enough. Shuhua took out the sound transmission ruler and quickly sent a message to Lingyang: "His Third Highness is missing. Please come and take charge of the overall situation."
Even though she knew what to do, it was difficult to act without the authority of her superiors.
Lingze left immediately: "I'm asking for orders to go and lead our people to handle this matter."
"Let the others go, I will introduce you to the chief minister."
Shu Hua refused to let him go. Her vice-captain and future right-hand man should be shown to Lingze.
Su Daji was afraid that the world would not be in chaos: "Yes, Hequ, haven't you always admired the minister? This is your chance."
"..." Lingze gritted his teeth secretly. No wonder Lingyang always disliked the deer demon for being fake and honest, and for being really scheming. Very scheming indeed.
Su Daji spoke to him earnestly: "Secretary, it's not okay for you to cover your head and shrink your feet like this. You always avoid seeing me. What's going on?"
Lingze was silent.
Su Daji was also helpless, he could only help Lingze get here.
Shuhua felt that the atmosphere was strange: "What's going on with you?"
Su Daji's tone was heavy: "I'm worried that the chairman has an incurable disease."
Lingze was shocked. Could it be that he had been guessed? Just as he was trying to tell Su Daji to stop talking nonsense, Shu Hua had already asked him: "What's going on with Hequ?"
Su Daji rushed to say: "Hequ is worried about his illness."
Shuhua was very concerned: "What disease do you have?"
Lingze was worried: "Amnesia. Subordinates often forget something suddenly and then suddenly remember it. Don't be surprised if the leader encounters something similar in the future."
"Well, we need to treat him as soon as possible." Shuhua said bluntly: "It will seriously affect the mission and easily cause casualties."
"No." Lingze quickly defended: "You can't forget big things, only small things."
Shuhua gave him a disbelieving look.
Lingze began to feel uneasy. With Shuhua's temperament, there was a high probability that he would not be allowed to follow him on missions in the future.
So he hated the deer demon very much. With a flick of his finger, the naive man fell into the sea.
"My legs are actually cramping!" Su Daji didn't care. After getting up, he whispered: "Secretary, it turns out that you are stingy and vindictive."
Lingze said with a cold face: "Leader, my subordinate suddenly has abdominal pain and must leave."
He exuded a cold and stern aura that kept strangers away from him, and left quickly without even waiting for Shuhua to reply.
Shuhua was unhappy: "Hequ's temper is quite strange."
Completely shattering her fantasy of a perfect subordinate.
The subordinate who was originally so willing to please her suddenly turned ruthless, which really hurt her confidence as a boss.
"It's not weird, it's just that my brain doesn't work well sometimes. For the sake of his strong martial arts, don't worry about it."
What can Su Daji say? It's just persuasion, otherwise the real Hequ will be left out inexplicably when he comes back, how aggrieved he will be!
"We're here!" Lingyang hurried over, followed by Lingze, who was expressionless.
"Secretary!" Shuhua stepped forward and looked Lingze up and down, left and right, with extremely complicated emotions: "Are you feeling better?"
"I have nothing to do." Lingze lowered his eyes and did not look at her: "After I have learned about it, please pass on my order to summon the inspectors and the monks of the Second Hidden Killing Department to search for His Highness Tang Xun with all his strength. You are responsible for the specific arrangements and deployment. "
"Yes!" Shuhua put away his distracting thoughts and arranged things in an orderly manner.
After all, he was his cousin. Lingyang couldn't wait any longer, so he took a team of close immortal monks to search.
The big bell on the top of Ruyi Palace was struck.
The monks flew to the square on the top of the mountain to gather together, looking panicked: "What's going on? Is there another enemy attack?"
This worry and panic suddenly calmed down after seeing Lingze standing like a pine and cypress in the middle of the square.
"The minister is ready! The minister is out of seclusion! We are not afraid anymore!" the monks cheered.
Lingze nodded lightly and instructed Shuhua: "It's time to start."
Headache and fever... but still
