Chapter 255 You say I can't beat that old pig?!
"Sect Leader Wei, you've been talking way too much today!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi's face instantly turned ashen, his previous indifferent demeanor vanished, and his tone became icy cold.
"Does this king need Sect Master Wei to teach me how to act?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Zhu Wushi's eyes as he coldly swept his gaze toward Wei Wuyan standing to the side.
The dark, wide sleeves fluttered even without wind, the hem rustling softly...
In an instant, an extremely eerie atmosphere filled the space between the two of them.
It's no wonder Zhu Wushi reacted so strongly at this moment, because what Wei Wuyan said had already crossed his bottom line.
He had actually made corresponding arrangements for each of the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow decades ago, regardless of their martial arts skills or identities.
Each person's identity will provide considerable assistance to his ascension to the throne, which is why the selection of the Yellow-lettered secret agent has been delayed.
He absolutely would not allow Wei Wuyan to interfere and disrupt his plans!
If Wei Wuyan still doesn't know what's good for him, he'd like to test whether this person's Taiyin Xuanjian can withstand his Absorption Technique!
"Lord Divine Marquis, please calm down. I misspoke. I was just eager to see talent and took pity on him for a moment. It's just a pity that Guihai Yidao, this genius of swordsmanship, is gone."
Seeing that this Iron-Blooded Marquis was unusually angry, Wei Wuyan softened his tone slightly and then smiled.
"Since Lord Divine Marquis does not wish for us to say more, then we will not say anything. I hope that Lord Divine Marquis will forgive my previous slip of the tongue."
After saying that, Wei Wuyan gave a sinister smile hidden under his gilded mask. He had finally found it!
Did he really think that sarcastic remark was just a casual remark?
It was merely a test of the Four Secret Agents' standing in the eyes of this Divine Marquis.
Although he had worked with this Iron-Blooded Marquis for quite some time, to be honest, he still couldn't quite see through the man in front of him.
But things are different now. Through the attitude of the Iron-Blooded Marquis just now, he has finally found the Marquis's weakness!
Those were the three top imperial secret agents, Tian Di Xuan!
Although he didn't understand how several spies who were only at the innate level could be of any help to this Divine Marquis.
But that's alright, as long as we know that the Divine Marquis values them.
With the power of the Rootless Sect, they should be able to uncover some clues by then.
"Yes, everyone has a love for talent, and I can understand that. However, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."
Seeing that Wei Wuyan had taken the initiative to back down, Zhu Wushi slowly withdrew his imposing aura.
Recalling that his attitude had been a bit too extreme and might have made this person notice something, he quickly regained his usual tone and said.
He wouldn't choose to turn against this sect leader unless absolutely necessary.
After all, Cao Zhengchun has now joined forces with Bliss Valley, and the Valley Master is putting some pressure on him!
"Lord Divine Marquis, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave!"
Having achieved his goal, Wei Wuyan decided not to linger and took his leave.
Zhu Wushi did not try to stop him, but remained quietly in place, watching Wei Wuyan's departing figure.
His gaze was unfathomable, and no one knew what the Iron-Blooded Marquis was thinking at that moment.
After a long while, Zhu Wushi slowly withdrew his gaze, then spoke softly to the empty ancient temple.
"Tian Kui!"
"My subordinate is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure appeared like a ghost in the previously empty ancient temple and knelt down in front of Zhu Wushi.
In addition to training three secret agents, Tian Di Xuan, Zhu Wushi has also secretly trained thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends over the years.
The person in front of them was called Tian Kui, and he was the most skilled martial artist among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals.
Zhu Wushi lowered his gaze slightly, looking at Tian Kui in front of him, but shook his head slightly in his heart.
Although Tian Kui is the most outstanding among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, he is still far inferior to the three secret agents, Tian Di Xuan.
"Send a message to the ends of the earth on my behalf, saying that I am aware of Haitang's abduction and will arrange for someone to help her escape. Tell her not to panic and to just do her own thing."
"Yes! I take my orders!"
Tian Kui immediately prepared to get up and get ready, but before he could even stand up...
"correct."
Zhu Wushi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and then gave instructions to Tian Kui.
"Also, send a separate letter to the Han Hai Kingdom. Since Li Tianhao's attempt to seize power has failed, let's immediately launch the second plan!"
"My subordinate understands!"
Before Tian Kui could see that Zhu had finished explaining everything, he quickly got up and went to prepare.
Before long, two carrier pigeons burst out of the sky from the ancient temple and flew off in completely different directions.
...........
Meanwhile, Shan Tianxie and the others were completely unaware of these matters.
Under Li Zhengkai's arrangement, the group set off towards the sealed-off Hanhai City.
As Shan Tianxie's newly recruited sword attendant, Shangguan Haitang was naturally assigned to Shan Tianxie's carriage.
Looking at Shan Tianxie lying beside her, enjoying the gentle rain massage, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but want to laugh.
Life is indeed unpredictable; just a few days ago, she was the head of the number one manor in the world.
In just a few days, while on a mission with Brother Duan, she became his maid.
The circumstances surrounding this are quite interesting.
Her expression caught Shan Tianxie's attention, and he immediately asked a question.
"Miss Haitang, is something on your mind? Or are you not used to the role of a sword attendant?"
Shangguan Haitang collected her thoughts and smiled faintly, "It's just a lament about the impermanence of life."
"Oh?"
Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow, turned to Xiyu, and said with a smile.
“Fine Rain, look at her awareness. No wonder you were an assassin before, while Miss Haitang is the owner of the number one manor in the world.”
The drizzle remained silent, only applying more force to its hand, trying to crush the person in front of it to death!
But who is Shan Tianxie? He's someone who has mastered the Iron Shirt technique to perfection. This kind of force is more like tickling him.
After spending the past two days together, Shangguan Haitang found Shan Tianxie to be quite easygoing.
So, with the intention of gathering information, he asked, "Young master, you have offended my Dragon Guard Manor so much this time. Aren't you really afraid that my godfather will come knocking on our door?"
"Hahahaha, the world-renowned Iron-Blooded Marquis, to be honest, may not be a match for my senior!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but smile and pointed to Gu Santong outside the carriage.
"Although this senior's martial arts are superb, I'm afraid he's still not quite up to par with my godfather!"
Shangguan Haitang smiled faintly; she was extremely confident in her adoptive father's martial arts skills.
"You're saying I can't beat that old pig?!"
