They were all ready, but they didn't expect that something would go wrong. One of the lords went out early in the morning to catch prey just to have a fresh bite.
In the past, this lord was not that greedy, which resulted in their mission failing and having to chase and kill people.
What bad luck!
"You won't be discovered so soon. It's still too late. Chase him quickly."
As he said that, the guards quickened their pace and rushed towards the place where someone was walking.
After all, the lord in front was injured and poisoned, so he couldn't run fast at all. If it weren't for the belief that supported him and wanted to avenge those dead companions, he would have wanted to lie down and wait.
Forget it.
He lost too much blood and was about to give up.
"Let's just die. These bastards are such bullies!" He gasped, cursed, and was about to turn around and fight for those pickpocketing defenders, hoping to win over one by one.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw a strange woman standing less than one meter away.
"scare!"
At that moment, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Although he wanted to go back and fight for his life, when someone stood not far from him and could kill him at any time, he still couldn't resist the fear in his heart.
"Are you the lord who got lucky and escaped death?"
An Jiuyue looked up and down at the man who had lost too much blood and looked as pale as a ghost.
He is still a young man, probably about the same age as her Yi Zheng, but... his cultivation level is a bit lower, and he looks a bit... like he is underage.
"You, who are you?" The lord was so frightened that he even trembled when he spoke.
There was no way, the opponent's aura was so powerful that he could hardly breathe. Is there anyone who wants to kill them so powerful?
"Oh, I'm An Jiuyue."
An Jiuyue responded to his question calmly, took out a pill from the space and handed it to the lord.
"have eaten."
"No, is it okay not to eat?"
The lord looked at the elixir, and an expression of pain immediately appeared on his face.
Why does he need to take poison? Can't he be killed with a single blow? Refining poison also costs money, time and energy, right?
"You can't just give him a knife, that way he will die faster." He muttered.
An Jiuyue: "..."
Have you never seen someone who wants to die? Does her face look so like a bad person?
"I am the High Priest of Demonic Heart, here to save you."
She almost rolled her eyes. She looked a little stupid when looking at this thing in front of her. Even if she didn't know that the person on the other side was here to kill him, she at least knew how to escape.
She has never seen such a person who refuses to run away and is just waiting to be killed.
"Walk."
She walked up to the lord, picked up his back collar, and carried him away.
…
Honghuang Building, in a quiet room.
Several guards, together with An Jiuyue, were a little dumbfounded when they heard the words of the lord in front of them.
"Um... let me interrupt you."
An Jiuyue raised her hand, interrupted him, and tilted her head to look at him.
"You mean, the people who chased you and killed all the lords you were friends with were the guards you brought from the camp to protect you?"
"Yes, that's them."
The lord nodded his head vigorously, his voice somewhat gritted.
He hated those ungrateful dogs so much. They were obviously their most trusted subordinates, otherwise he wouldn't have even let them protect him during the meeting.
However, the greedy people are so hateful. After playing them around, they still want their lives.
No, it's not that their lives are wanted, but their lives have already been taken away.
And if he wasn't lucky, he would have to go along with him.
"Then how did you escape?" One of the guards asked him curiously.
He was also half a medicine man. He had just diagnosed the pulse of this lord, and this man's body had been poisoned. A poison that could temporarily disappear his cultivation after being eaten.
Being poisoned like this and still able to escape, is there something fishy about it?
"I, that..."
Mentioning this, the lord showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and raised his hand to scratch his head.
"I have a bad stomach, so I always bring some food with me wherever I go. Didn't I just finish all the snacks I brought last night when everyone was chatting and laughing together?"
"Well, I'm not always hungry. I woke up hungry before dawn this morning, so I wanted to go outside and get some game to eat. It's just in time for everyone to wake up and we can eat together."
"How did you know that when I got to the forest and wanted to get a little beast, I found that my original soul power was gone."
When he mentioned this, his face turned blue. He knew at that time that something was wrong and wanted to go back and notify everyone to escape together while it was dark without being discovered.
Others couldn't believe it, so running to Honghuang Tower and seeking protection from the guards at Zhanyun Camp was the most correct choice.
How could he have known that these people were actually taking advantage of the situation? Before he reached his tent, he smelled the smell of blood and the voices of the gangsters talking.
How dare he stay for long? He immediately turned around and ran away.
"If I hadn't heard the voices and confirmed that the murderers were the defenders we brought, I would have gone into another camp and asked them to protect me."
Fortunately, he is smart, otherwise his life would really be in danger.
Everyone heard him crying for a while, laughing for a while, and looking arrogant for a while, but they didn't think he was smart. At most, he had some luck protecting him.
"Are the other lords really... dead?" Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, the lord asked again.
"Yes, except for you, there is no one alive in your camp." One of the guards said.
Moreover, the death of those lords was not good. They were obviously slashed on the neck with a knife, but they were still slashed with many knives. This shows how much those people hated these lords.
"frenzied!"
The lord immediately cursed.
Looking up, he saw the defenders of the Zhanyun Camp and the Demonic Heart High Priest staring at him with suspicion, so he quickly explained.
"I have never treated my own guardians badly in my daily life. Even the three guardians I brought were the ones I insisted on bringing into Huayan Jue. If it weren't for me, their qualifications would be incomparable to me.
In this plane, you are not even qualified to carry shoes for my concubine, let alone me."
He waved his hand and explained.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he brought his three guards along the way, why should they harm him? It is so heartless and unjust.
A guard heard what he said and secretly approached him, "You're not a very good guy. How can you become a lord?"
