Chapter 1459: 712 Super Weak!_3

“What’s wrong?” the monarch asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Dequan handed the redeemed gemstone to the monarch with trembling hands.

The monarch felt that the gemstone looked very familiar, “This is…”

Zhang Dequan said sheepishly, “It, it should be from the dragon column at the entrance of your Sleeping Palace… the Dragon’s Eye.”

The monarch was so angry that he nearly fell over backward!

To gouge out the Dragon’s Eye of the emperor, Shangguan Yun, you’re seeking death!

Zhang Dequan shivered, “Should we, should we capture Shangguan Yun?”

The monarch restrained himself with great effort from the impulse to slap Shangguan Yun to death and said through gritted teeth, “Have them continue to follow. I want to see what kind of medicine she’s really selling in her gourd!”

What could Zhang Dequan do?

Just keep tracking.

Zhang Dequan silently clutched the fast-acting heart-saving pills from the National Master Hall in his hand.

The group continued tracking and before long, Shangguan Yun entered another auction house.

This was one of the most famous auction houses in Shengdu, where anything could be traded, and there was nothing they dared not to buy or sell, only what the customers could not afford.

This time Shangguan Yun stayed inside for a longer period, and when she emerged, there was a black-clad assassin by her side.

The monarch’s expression darkened, “She also bought an assassin?!”

Yan Country did not prohibit the trade of assassins. Yan Country’s excellent assassins were exported to the five countries, but the strongest ones remained in the country.

“What does she want with an assassin? Is she planning to murder me?”

That being said, an assassin was much more expensive than a horse.

The monarch snorted coldly, “Go and see what she used to buy this time?”

If he discovered that she had gouged out another Dragon’s Eye, he would kill her!

“Yes.” Zhang Dequan braced himself to enter the auction house.

This time he stayed inside longer than at the carriage shop, and when he came out his expression was even more indescribable.

The monarch looked at him coldly, “Speak!”

Zhang Dequan took a deep breath, risking being beheaded, and with eyes closed, he pulled out a large piece of bright yellow fabric from behind him and spoke as if resigned to his fate, “Your… underwear!”

The monarch: “…!!”

A roar like the dragon’s growl from the monarch echoed through the deep night streets–

“I’m going to kill that scourge–”

…

Han Ye had been lurking outside the Lingbo Academy for a long time, making sure the crisis was over, before slipping back into the Linglong Pavilion.

Xiao Hen had already retired for the night.

Half asleep, he was jolted awake as the door latch was pried open from outside.

Xiao Hen suddenly sat up with a start.

A shadow flashed in, the long sword in its hand shining with cold light, coldly reflecting off the bed curtains.

Xiao Hen reached for the black fire bead by the bedside.

In the time it takes to speak, the black-clothed figure suddenly turned, swinging his sword to block the sudden attack from Han Ye.

Han Ye was shocked.

Who is this person?

The black-clothed figure pressed hard against Han Ye, pulling Xiao Hen out from behind the curtains, wrapping an arm around Xiao Hen’s waist, and taking off through the window with lightness skills.

Han Ye narrowed his eyes at the retreating figures, “An assassin? Humph, do you think you can escape like this? Tonight will be your end!”

Han Ye gave chase.

Han Ye’s attack on Xiao Hen moments ago had not even used a third of his strength, so it was not surprising that the assassin was able to deflect it.

Now, he increased his inner power to seventy percent, easily catching up with the two.

Han Ye descended from above, blocking their path, and turned around, looking at Xiao Hen with disdain, “Xiao Liulang, you can’t escape! You’d better surrender peacefully!”

Xiao Hen looked oddly at the two black-clothed figures who appeared out of nowhere, one who came to kill him, and one who came to save him.

Clearly, the one who came to kill him had superior martial arts skills.

The assassin continued to fight while protecting Xiao Hen, but it didn’t take long for the assassin to be wounded.

The assassin no longer wanted to fight and dragged Xiao Hen away to escape!

Han Ye taunted, “Ha, do you think you can escape?”

Han Ye leapt up, thrusting his sword toward Xiao Hen!

Just as he was about to be struck, the assassin suddenly executed a mid-air turn, throwing Xiao Hen into a carriage driving up from the side.

Han Ye’s sword missed, and he slashed again!

This sword cleaved off the carriage’s canopy, and not content with just the canopy, he struck again mid-air, splitting the carriage in half.

With a bang, the carriage fell apart to either side.

The stripped-bare carriage revealed a bewildered Zhang Dequan and the monarch, now with a sword energy-shaved bald head.
