Not wanting to reveal their identity, a few people disguised themselves before entering a city ahead.
This city is not big, but after all, it is close to the imperial capital, and people come and go in the streets and alleys, so it is quite prosperous.
Ye Chen and his group walked among them without attracting too much attention.
Afterwards, they rented a carriage and drove slowly towards the imperial capital.
Since they did not fly in the air, they were naturally afraid that their whereabouts would be exposed and lead to all kinds of overt and covert attacks.
However, when they arrived at a deserted road, Ye Chen in the carriage instantly shattered the roof of the carriage, and he rose into the sky.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the roof of the carriage split into pieces and flew into pieces.
"What happened?"
"Master Ye, what are you doing?"
Because Ye Chen's action came so suddenly, Nangong Qin and others sitting in the carriage were startled.
But before they understood what was happening, they only heard a loud "dang" sound, like the impact of steel, which was deafening.
At the same time, a surging air wave swept across, instantly shattering the carriage into pieces.
Fortunately, Nangong Qin and others were already prepared at this moment. Everyone flew into the air and activated their defenses, so they were not affected by the surging air wave.
However, the surrounding trees were instantly damaged.
The originally dense and tall trees had been flattened by the air wave just now, and many were directly uprooted and flew into the distance with the air wave.
At a glance, everything was bare, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe. The woods within a mile radius were instantly turned into ruins.
Ye Chen, who was the first to rush out of the carriage just now, was holding a purple sword that was three meters long and was floating in the void not far away.
And around, I don’t know when dozens of figures appeared.
All of them were wearing night clothes and masks on their faces, and they were all suspended in mid-air, almost blocking all their paths.
"assassin?"
Nangong Mingyue exclaimed.
The other Nangong Qin, Sara, Li Fengyu, and Jin Lin finally realized it later.
Obviously, the deafening sound of steel clashing just now should have been caused by Ye Chen blocking the sneak attack of these assassins.
If Ye Chen hadn't sensed the danger one step ahead and took action in time, these assassins might have succeeded in their sneak attack.
Thinking of this, several people were scared and angry.
"Who are you?"
Nangong Kaige glanced at the assassins around him and asked coldly.
"Why do you need to ask questions when you are about to die?"
One of them snorted coldly, pointed his sword at the sky, and spiritual energy poured into the sword like crazy.
"Zhengzhengzheng!"
The trembling sound of the long sword is heart-stirring.
Before he could strike, the sharp sword energy spread out and flew up and down in the surrounding void, whistling again and again with an extremely powerful sound.
In addition to this assassin, more than twenty other assassins have also developed combat skills.
It seems that each assassin's cultivation level is not weak, and the combat skills prepared by each person are either unparalleled or magnificent.
More than twenty people moved together, causing chaos in the surrounding void.
"Be careful, I'll deal with them!"
Ye Chen also knew that it was useless to talk more. He held the regicide sword in his hand in front of his chest, and his two fingers quickly rubbed across the broad sword body.
"Zhengzhengzheng!"
In an instant, the giant sword made an exciting trembling sound. After rubbing it with two fingers, the sword's body burst into brilliant light, like a scorching sun. The light emitted almost made Ye Chen's whole body disappear.
However, just as the decisive battle of life and death was about to begin, a sudden change occurred.
"Didi da da!"
A flute sound suddenly came from not far away, sharp and rapid.
Ye Chen and the others couldn't hear anything, but the twenty-odd assassins who had already prepared their combat skills seemed to have received some order. Instead of launching a fierce offensive against Ye Chen and others, they invariably put away their weapons.
Then quickly retreated into the distance.
The speed was so fast that it receded completely like a tide in just an instant.
"what happened?"
"Just leave like that?"
"Did you realize that you were no match for Brother Ye, so you chose to retreat?"
Nangong Kaige and others looked at each other, a little confused.
But after Ye Chen was briefly surprised, he suddenly looked towards the direction where the flute sound came from, the expression on his face changing.
"What's wrong?"
Jin Lin flew next to Ye Chen, "Did Young Master see something?"
Nangong Qin also asked: "How come these assassins retreated without taking action?"
"You go back to His Highness's residence first. I will meet you there later!"
Ye Chen looked back at Li Fengyu and said: "By the way, your cultivation level is relatively high. If you encounter any unexpected situations on the way, please protect them!"
"Don't worry, unless I have lost my fighting power, I will definitely protect them!"
Li Fengyu vowed, just like a child who has always been disliked and finally got the recognition of his parents, his face was full of pride and pride.
The golden scales and beautiful eyebrows on the side were slightly frowned.
She has always wanted to stand alone and gain Ye Chen's approval.
But after all, her cultivation talent was not good enough, and the longer the time passed, the greater the gap between her and Ye Chen.
Today, Ye Chen needs people she doesn't like to protect them.
This made her feel very uncomfortable!
It was just the fact that she didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to show off.
After all, there was a huge gap between her cultivation level and Li Fengyu's. Even if she wanted to show off her strength, she didn't have the capital.
However, showing off one's strength without thinking will not only fail to attract Ye Chen's attention, but will only make Ye Chen disgusted.
"call!"
Just when Jin Lin was feeling depressed, a strong wind blew up, and Ye Chen turned into a stream of light and shot towards the direction where the flute sound came from just now.
"Let's go!"
Li Fengyu immediately greeted everyone, "Since the assassin has appeared, it means that our identity has been exposed. There is nothing to hide. Let's fly directly back to the imperial capital!"
"It seems that this is the only way!"
Nangong Kaige nodded with deep understanding, "Fly directly in the air, the speed will be faster, so as not to cause changes later!"
After reaching an agreement, the group quickly flew towards the imperial capital.
And Ye Chen had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared in another direction.
Not long after, I saw a person suspended in the void.
His whole body was hidden in a black robe, and his face wore a ferocious mask, and the vague aura he released was extremely powerful.
The other party seemed to be deliberately waiting for Ye Chen. He did not immediately retreat or launch an attack. Instead, his exposed eyes were filled with a hint of fanatical expectation.
"It's you?"
Although he couldn't see the other party's true face clearly, Ye Chen could still recognize him at a glance just by the black robe and the mask on his face.
