Translator: 549690339 

When the other three From Hell’s frontline arrived at the broken soul Gorge, Feng bujue had just finished a speed recital that was more than a thousand words long.

And the expressions of Alliance master Yuan and the other heroes of the martial arts world … Perfectly expressed the extreme shock in the depths of their hearts and the intense pain in a certain part of their bodies.

However, brother Jue did not mind. He raised his hand to signal to his teammates and said,”By the way, I haven’t introduced you … These three are all guests of my Broken Sword chahitsu.” He pointed at RUO Yu,”this is my wife, and the other two are my disciples. President, do you want to hear their names?”

“No need!” Yuan Han’s eyes widened and he exclaimed,”there’s really no need!”

Alliance master Yuan’s expression seemed to be saying,”please don’t say anymore. I’ll kneel down to you.”

The eight directions tower master, Ji Neng, also strode forward and said,””Master Feng, I think it’s better to hear about the reputation of your noble sect’s swordsman next time … We have more important things to do now …”

“Not bad.” Yuan han quickly added,”the terrain here is unfavorable, we can’t stay here for long …” He put on the air of a martial arts master and said loudly,(There is no need to use Qi to communicate anymore. Since there are less than fifty people around us, and their hearing is not bad, we can just use our voices to speak.) He said,”I believe the heroes have almost recovered by now (they were not idle when Feng bujue was talking). We should move on as soon as possible … After this is over, we will come back to bury the bodies of our fellow disciples.”

“Yes, yes, yes! Alliance master Yuan is right!”

“Indeed, there’s no time to lose!”

“That’s right, everyone, let’s get up and hurry!”

The surviving martial artists also responded quickly. To prevent Feng bujue from coming up with another three-paragraph review, they spared no effort.

And so, the team of more than fifty people continued on their journey …

…………

On the other hand …

In front of the burial heart Manor.

Under the light and mist, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the manor.

At this moment, there was not a single person left in the village outside the mountain villa …

It was obvious that the ambush in the soul breaking Gorge was an all-out operation of the burial heart Valley’s residents. Unfortunately … Only one person had survived.

Of course, even if this group of people were all alive, they would not stop the Imperial court’s soldiers … Because King Yama had already given the order to “invite” this group of people in.

This was also why … The Wulin heroes led by Yuan han did not even find a single soldier’s body along the way.

In fact, not only did they not find any corpses, but they also did not find any traces of fighting … They did not even find any horse hooves, ruts, or footprints.

There was no doubt that the Imperial court’s soldiers had taken a different path from the Wulin soldiers not long after entering the valley, and the people in the valley had thoughtfully removed their footprints.

“Milords, please hold on.”

When the horsemen at the front of the group arrived at the gate of the villa, an old woman blocked their way.

It was an old woman who looked to be in her sixties. She was thin and had a face full of wrinkles. She was dressed in a simple farmer’s outfit, and her clothes were even patched.

Seeing this, a brawny man in armor stepped out of the three leading horsemen and said on his horse,””Aunty, are you a person from this villa?”

This man’s name was Lu Yuan, and he was a general of the governor’s office (this organization had been abolished long ago in official history). Lu Yuan had a rough appearance, and his personality was similar. From the way he addressed her as “aunt,” one could tell that this Lord was informal and very friendly.

“Yes, I am.” The old woman replied,”I’m here under the orders of King Yama to await your arrival.” Although she was old, she spoke rather quickly and her voice was full of vigor.”Living animals are not allowed to walk around in the burial heart Manor …” She looked at the horses under the people and the horses pulling the carriage and continued,”please get off your horses and follow me on foot.”

“What?” Hearing this, the second Horseman’s face showed a trace of displeasure.

This man was called Bao Qi, The Guardian of the Jinyiwei. Although there was a “strange” in his name, his appearance was ordinary (the Secret Service loved to recruit such people); In addition, he was also the most bureaucratic among the three leaders.

“You woman, how can you speak like that?” Bao Qi said,”do you know that the person in the carriage is …”

“Sigh …” At this time, the third rider waved his hand and interrupted Bao Qi’s words.”Brother Bao, as the saying goes, When in Rome, do as the Romans do … Please allow me to inform ‘that Lord’ and we’ll settle the matter later.”

The slightly chubby man with the feminine tone was naturally a eunuch from the baidong factory. His name was Mao jincai, and from his name, one could tell that he was not from a wealthy family, so he was sent to the palace at a very young age …

“That’s right, brother Bao …” Lu Yuan, who was on the other side, also added,”why make things difficult for an old man? let’s first listen to what ‘His Highness’ has to say before we decide.”

“Hmph … Fine.” Bao Qi saw that eunuch Mao had already turned his horse around and left, so he snorted coldly and no longer said anything.

Not long after, eunuch Mao returned, and he “walked” back.

“The two of you, His Highness has an order. Let’s all walk together.” Eunuch Mao smiled as he spoke to the two people on the horse.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and Bao Qi both turned their heads to take a look and discovered that the few important figures in the carriage had also alighted from their carriages.

Thus, they quickly got off their horses and prepared to lead the Army into the manor.

But unexpectedly …

“Hold on.” The old woman raised her hand again to block their way.

“What now?” Bao Qi was a little impatient this time.

“The King of Hell has ordered that … At most ten people can enter the manor.” The old woman replied word by word.

“What?” Bao Qi shouted,”How dare you! You …”

Just as he was about to use his “official authority” to scare this ungrateful old woman, another person’s voice rang out from behind him,””Ah, general Bao, why are you so angry? Ten people it is. ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Bao Qi immediately cowered. Not only did he cower, but he also turned around and knelt. He was not the only one who knelt down. Most of the people in the team knelt down as well …

Obviously, the one who spoke was Zhu zhizhao, the Prince of Jin, who was a descendant of the royal family.

Perhaps some people would think that his name was strange. That’s right … It was very strange. But for the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, naming was something they had no choice in.

According to the rules of the ancestors, Wangye’s family had to be ranked according to seniority. Take the Jinwang family as an example … There were only twenty words in total: Ji Mei Zhong was curious, knowledgeable and sensitive, scrutinizing the heart and admiring the scenery, reporting on her previous cultivation.

It was also a rule set by their ancestors (Zhu Yuanzhang was inexplicably persistent in this regard) that the descendants of the Zhu family must have the first three characters of the five elements division in their names, and they had to be arranged according to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

“However, there is a limit to the number of words, but there is an endless number of children and grandchildren … Therefore, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, we were fortunate enough to meet an Emperor named Zhu Youyou.

Just this … Was really not bad. Some of the more miserable descendants of the Shu Kings had to create their own names in the later stages. If you saw words with unclear meanings and five elements in the dictionary, they were most likely made in the Ming Dynasty.

Alright … That’s all. Let’s get back to the story.

“Your Highness …” Two seconds later, Bao Qi kneeled and said,”…You’re priceless, but you only brought 10 people into this dangerous place. If anything happens …”

“Alright, alright, get up. Let’s get up and talk.” Zhu zhizhao continued in a very easy-going tone,”save it … I’m not worth a million gold …” When he said this, there was a bitter smile on his face, as if he had some self-deprecating words to say, but he stopped. After a pause, he continued,”besides, ten people is enough … Other than Lord Chang and I, there’s also the eight of you peerless experts to protect us … What’s there to worry about?”

The Lord Chang that Zhu zhizhao had mentioned was called Chang Wei.

Alright, I know what you’re all thinking right now, so please give up on that thought immediately.

That’s right, this Lord was called Chang Wei, but he was not the Chang Wei who claimed to not know any martial arts. He was an Imperial physician in his sixties with white hair and a white beard.

As for the other “eight great experts,” there were naturally seats for Lu Yuan, Bao Qi and Mao jincai, but … They could only be considered the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings … Oh no, the weakest three among the eight great experts.

As for the remaining five experts, we’ll have to deal with them separately …

The first one was the commander of the embroidered uniform guards, Shangguan Yi. This person was a rather shrewd person, and he was also a “smart person” that Cao Xin had acknowledged. On this journey, he had been riding at the very back of the group, and he had been wearing the uniform of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. At first glance … No one would think that he was one of the highest-ranking officials here.

As for martial arts … Shangguan Rao, who was in her early fifties, had already reached the invincible Vajra level in her external techniques ten years ago. It was a pity that his path of martial arts was too rigid and upright, and he was unable to comprehend the “silent skill.” Otherwise, his cultivation would have been able to reach a higher level.

Then, it was the second master’s turn.

This person’s name was Bian Ji, and he was the Vice envoy of the governor’s office. Usually, he gave people the impression that he was just an empty-handed civil official, but in fact … His internal strength cultivation could be ranked in the top three among the experts in the palace. He was not inferior to du Ying at all.

It should be mentioned that before Cao Xin left the horse group, Bian Ji and Cao Xin were sitting together in the same carriage, while the other two carriages were for Zhu zhizhao and Chang Wei to sit in.

Then, he could name the third, fourth, and fifth person in one breath.

Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei, the three people who were riding beside the three carriages.

As mentioned earlier … They were in charge of protecting the high-ranking officials and nobles in the caravan. The three of them were all first-class Masters selected from the “upper twelve guards” for this operation, and they were all hereditary Royal death Warriors. At the critical moment, they would die for Zhu Zhizha without hesitation.

These were the eight experts that Zhu zhizhao had mentioned. Including him and Imperial physician Chang, there were exactly ten people. Other than eunuch Cao, who had left the team for a SOLO match, the rest of the team were basically minions. Of course …”Minions” were only relative. Strictly speaking, this entire team of soldiers were trained, and they were all regular soldiers. If they really fought, their combat power would definitely not lose to those hundreds of martial arts forces.

“Well …” Lynch thought for a moment.”Since Your Highness has said so …”

“Alright, Bao Qi, you can follow that woman and lead the way.” Shangguan Rao’s intervention put an end to the debate.

Having received instructions from his boss, Bao Qi had nothing more to say.”This subordinate will do as you command.” He nodded and turned to the old woman.”Then … I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way …”

“The ten of you, please come in.” The old woman made way and raised her hand to make a “please” gesture.

Then, Zhu zhizhao, Chang Wei, Shangguan Qi, Bian Ji, Lu Yuan, Bao Qi, Mao jincai, Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei, these ten people, entered the buried heart Manor one after another.

“The rest of you, please wait outside the manor.” After the ten people came in, the old woman said to the guards outside and raised her hands.

In the next second, the thick gate of the villa was moved by an invisible force … And closed with a bang.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of six of the eight experts changed. Only Shangguan Yan and Bian Ji remained calm, not surprised by this scene.

After closing the door, the old woman turned around and walked to the front of everyone. She continued,””Everyone … Please follow me.”

After saying this, she walked into the manor without looking back. The ten people followed obediently and did not say anything more.

Soon, they followed the old woman through an elegant courtyard and came to a large house.

The style of the house was very strange. On the side facing the courtyard, there was a porch. The door on the corridor had no handle and looked like a large wooden fence. There were white papers stuck in the gaps.

Modern people could easily tell that this was a sliding door. However, it was the first time for the ten people who had just entered the burial heart Manor to see such a door.

“Master, I’ve brought him here.” The old woman stood in the porch and reported with her head lowered.

“You may leave.” A response immediately came from the door.

Just this response made the ten people outside the door let their imagination run wild. Because the voice that came from the door was like an Oriole leaving the valley, it was a young girl’s soft and charming voice.

“Yes.” The old woman replied, then slowly stepped back and quietly left.

After a few seconds, the sliding door on the veranda opened on its own without anyone touching it.

Behind the door was a wide couch.

On the bed was a pink gauze curtain.

And behind the curtain, a figure could be seen lying on his side.

Although the King of Hell had yet to truly appear in front of these people, just her alluring curves and voice … Were enough to make the men outside the door fantasize and become restless.

“Ha …” Zhu zhizhao chuckled and was the first to step forward.

As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. To this young prince, how could the graceful figure in front of him be associated with the word “danger”?

…”This lady.” Zhu Zhizha cupped his hands and said,”are you … The King of Hell?” (To be continued.) ”
