Seeing the three people bowing respectfully, Zhang Xiaoyun was very satisfied and laughed loudly: "Haha, three little guys, I really didn't expect that you have actually arrived at this place. How are you? Have you walked around? In fact, this Hongnong City

It’s still a very nice place, would you like me to send someone to take you around?”

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyun, the three of them naturally did not dare to sit down, but Wenren Qiaoer looked very familiar with the bald old man and said directly: "Deputy City Lord, why are you here!"

"Haha, well, you should all know the situation in Hongnong City, right? We have never relaxed our attention to Hongnong City. We responded immediately to the anomalies here as soon as we received the notification, so I

Come on, well, if the three of you are here, you can help me solve some things." Zhang Xiaoyun said.

At this moment, there was another burst of footsteps outside, and a square-faced man in his fifties walked in with great strides. It was obvious at a glance that he was the kind of person who has been in a high position for a long time and almost needs no introduction.

Just know that he is the city lord of Hongnong City!

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Xiaoyun also stood up and laughed and said: "Haha, come on, let me introduce to you. This is Hongnong City's Zhang Xiaolin, a ninth-level swordsman. These three little guys are the most powerful in our martial arts hall."

These three outstanding disciples are also the seedlings that our City Lord’s Mansion has worked hard to cultivate, haha.”

Zhang Xiaolin glanced at the three of them and was a little surprised. Although the three of them had now used the Breath Condensation Technique to control their cultivation to the level of a first-level swordsman, their age could not be concealed.

, with a warm look on his face, he nodded, but did not speak. He just walked to sit next to Zhang Xiaoyun.

Zhang Xiaolin said calmly: "I heard that you three came to see me for something?"

From the other party's tone, Zheng Lingxiao could tell that the city lord must have thought that the three of them were here to ask for help or to show off their identities, so he curled his lips without leaving any trace and released the four corpses.

Suddenly, the two people present were a little surprised. They could easily see what the cultivation level of these dead people was before they were alive, but what shocked them most was the word "secret" on their chests. Next, Zheng Lingxiao took the hidden words in the dense forest of Lianhua Mountain and

They told everyone what they had seen and heard, but the process of killing the four people was turned into a sneak attack.

After listening to the narration, Zhang Xiaoyun frowned and said: "This is impossible. The Hidden Guards are clearly blocked by us at the border, and they fight against each other every day. How could they go to Lianhua Mountain?"

Zhang Xiaolin just walked around in the hall, paying no attention to the four people present. After about a while of burning incense, he shook his head, but he couldn't figure it out anyway. He glanced at Zheng Lingxiao and the other three, and frowned slightly.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still have something to do? If not, I will order someone to arrange a place for you. You can rest assured that it will be safe."

After hearing this, the three of them felt as if something was blocking their chests. They were very uncomfortable. Wenren Qiaoer even wanted to turn around and leave. She looked at Zhang Xiaoyun and saw that he had no reaction. The aunt suddenly

His little face was bulging with anger, and he was about to leave in anger, but when he saw that Zheng Lingxiao and the other two did not move, he endured it. However, the dissatisfaction on his face could be seen by even a fool.

Zheng Lingxiao took a deep breath and said: "Lord City Lord, I believe that the key to the so-called secret guard lies in the word secret. If the news about the secret guard that you sent earlier was not false news that you deliberately released, then it means that

, even you were deceived by the Lord of Yunhe City!"

As soon as he said these words, Zhang Xiaolin's sharp eyes were shot at Zheng Lingxiao. Even Zhang Xiaoyun, who was the first to drink tea, stopped moving. However, facing the hawk-like gaze, Zheng Lingxiao was not happy.

Fearful, he looked at her calmly. After about two minutes, Zhang Xiaolin's ice-like voice slowly sounded: "Continue talking."

Zheng Lingxiao smiled lightly and said: "The so-called secret, if it is so easy for others to know the details, can it still be called secret? Therefore, I think it is very possible that the Lord of the City deliberately let us know the information.

And the real secret guard never appeared in our sight."

Zhang Xiaoyun pondered for a while and then said: "You are saying that there are actually two secret guards. The one we know is just a cover, and the real secret guard has always been lurking in the secret!"

Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Xiaolin couldn't help but tremble all over. Now he finally figured out the key. Zheng Lingxiao continued: "Haha, I'm afraid the strongest among the opponent's three guards is not the Iron Guard at all, but this secret one.

The Secret Guard, and I infer that this Secret Guard has always been active in the hinterland of our Black Wind City!"

Another blockbuster news made the two people above froze in place. They couldn't accept it for a while. Zhang Xiaolin shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. The other party has such a strong force lurking in our territory, but we don't even have any clues."

I didn’t realize it, are you insulting the ability of my city lord’s palace?”

Zheng Lingxiao smiled disdainfully, but didn't say anything else. He turned around to leave with his brother and two brothers. At this time, Zhang Xiaoyun suddenly said: "Wait a minute, little guy, I have something else to ask you!"

Stopping and turning around, Zheng Lingxiao cast a doubtful look. Zhang Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and said: "Little guy, our border is a little tight now. The main thing is not that we don't have enough troops, but that we don't have enough backbone. In the Great Sword Master

At this level, the opponent is almost twice as strong as us, so I want the three of you to accompany the reinforcements that will go out tomorrow to reduce some pressure on us."

Zheng Lingxiao looked at him with a half-smile, and slowly said: "Deputy City Lord, you really think highly of us. Do you think that just the three of us can change the trend of the entire battlefield?"

Zhang Xiaoyun didn't care about the sarcasm in his words, and explained: "Of course not. I said that if there are troops going to reinforce, then there must be others. Well, let me tell you, our group went there.

There are about a hundred great swordsmen, and the others are also top-grade swordsmen."

Having said this, he looked at the three of them, with a cunning light in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Haha, you three little foxes, don't pretend in front of me, I don't believe that you are only as strong as a low-grade great swordsman.

, even if it is a sneak attack that can kill a ninth-level great swordsman in an instant, it is definitely not a mediocre attack. I believe that you will be the opponent's great swordsman's nightmare!"

After hearing these very firm words, the three of them could not find a reason to refute for a while. The first brother opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. After thinking about it, Zheng Lingxiao said: "Okay, we can go

, However, we will not move forward with the large army. Haha, the hunters hiding in the dark are the most terrifying. Therefore, I hope that only the two city lords know our whereabouts, so that we can truly become each other.

The Great Sword Master’s Nightmare, all you need to do is provide a detailed map and detailed information about the opponent.”

As soon as they heard Zheng Lingxiao's words, their eyes lit up. Zhang Xiaolin waved his hand and gave the three of them everything they needed. In addition, he also distributed enough pills and low-grade spiritual stones.

At night, three black figures flashed out from the back door of the City Lord's Mansion. In just a few flashes, they arrived on the roof of a house two streets away. There were neat footsteps below from far to near. The patrol team simply couldn't.

They didn't notice the figure on the roof and quickly walked over. The black shadow continued to jump on the roof. After dodging several waves of patrols, they came to the city wall and knocked out several soldiers easily.

, then used tools to jump off the city wall, and left quickly. Two wolf howls floated in the distance, and when he looked again, five figures were already at the end of the horizon.

The border line is actually a large jungle about 30 kilometers wide more than 300 miles away from Hongnong City. It separates Heifeng City and Yunhe City just like a natural dividing line. The terrain in the jungle is complex.

, but there are no monsters. This is also called a wonder of the mainland. What is even stranger is that there is a large plain about fifty miles wide on both sides of the jungle. It is as flat as an airport, without any obstructions. If you want to

It is absolutely impossible to conduct any kind of sneak attack on it.

Looking at the military camps appearing at regular intervals on the plain from a distance, Zheng Lingxiao sighed: "The power of creation is so magical and great."

Wenren Qiaoer rolled his eyes and said, "In this situation, how can we enter the border without being discovered?"

Brother Yi said indifferently: "Why are you so secretive? Can't we just go through it openly?"

"Don't we want to enter secretly? If someone knows our existence, then wouldn't it be meaningless for us to come here alone!" Wen Renqiaoer retorted.

Looking up at the sky, Zheng Lingxiao said: "It will be dawn soon, and we are not invisible. It is simply impossible to pass through this plain without being discovered. But we have this, now we can

Go to Military Camp No. 33, wait until daybreak, and we will blend in with the mercenary groups."

The first brother also took out a silver-white round metal sign with a pattern of rice fields on one side and the word "secret" engraved on the other side. He shook the sign and said, "This is just a piece of shit."

, what’s the use? If others don’t know about it, they might arrest us as lunatics.”

Wenren Qiaoer frowned and asked, "What is psychopathy?"

In front of the No. 33 military camp, when the soldiers guarding saw the signs in the hands of Zheng Lingxiao and the other three, they invited the three of them in very respectfully. What surprised them even more was that the general here actually came out to greet them in person, with such an attitude

He treated them just like his immediate superiors. However, he did not mention a word about the identities of the three of them.

After repairing for almost two hours, the horn sounded. At this time, the three people discovered that the entire team was actually a miscellaneous army composed of soldiers, mercenary groups, individual mercenaries, family children, etc. Although they seemed to be in large numbers, their combat power was

I'm afraid it's not satisfactory, and maybe some people will hold back.

The general's voice sounded on the general stage: "Everyone knows the rules, so I won't repeat them. In short, disperse your actions and use the enemy's heads as evidence of your merits. You must not be greedy for credit and rush forward. Take care of yourself first and set off.

!”

More than a thousand people shouted out of the military camp and rushed towards the dense jungle. Zheng Lingxiao, three people and two wolves just mixed in with the crowd and entered the forest. When he saw the trees here, Zheng Lingxiao was extremely shocked.

, they are thick trees surrounded by ten people. There are various battle marks on the trees, but they are very shallow. It can be said that there is no harm to these trees at all. I tried to hit them with a palm,

It actually felt like being hit on steel, but the tree didn't move at all!

Brother Yi was surprised and said: "You can't tell, the trees here are so hard. If they are the kind of trees in the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Wuyi's palm can't break them, but at least it can make them shake.

Let’s take a while!”

"Also, have you noticed that the spiritual energy here is much richer than other places. However, there are no monsters here, not even medicinal materials. It is really unimaginable. However, I

I have a question, why is no one practicing here? The progress will probably be huge." Wenren Qiaoer's voice sounded.

Zheng Lingxiao frowned and said: "No one is practicing here. It should be because of his reasons, or because of the war during this period, no one dares to practice here. You guys wait."

As he said that, he sat down cross-legged and started to run the technique. The first brother and the two men also looked at him nervously. At this time, a Sanren mercenary passed by them and looked at them strangely, but he didn't

He didn't do anything else and just left.

After about a stick of incense, Zheng Lingxiao opened his eyes, stood up and said: "There is no problem with the spiritual energy here. I have been doing a small cycle and I don't feel any discomfort. That's strange."

Next, Brother Yi and Wenren Qiaoer also took turns trying it out, but they didn't feel anything was wrong. They really couldn't figure it out. Brother Yi laughed and said: "Haha, why are you thinking so much? Find someone to ask."

Is that enough?"

Zheng Lingxiao also laughed at himself and did not dwell on this issue. He continued to move forward. The further inside, the darker the light became. Suddenly, Xuan Yue and Xi Yue stopped and made fighting postures. The hair on their bodies

Almost all stood up.

Seeing this situation, the expressions of the three of them all darkened. Even Zheng Lingxiao was not aware of the other party's arrival. This meant that he was an assassin, and he was an assassin who had practiced stealth to an extremely advanced level!

Assassins are a very rare profession on the mainland. There are hundreds of millions of swordsmen across the continent. However, there are less than 20,000 assassins among them. Their cultivation level may not be very high. However, it is not uncommon for strong men to die at their hands.

, and most of them have low-level stealth skills, and there are even fewer who can practice stealth skills to this level!

Without saying much, the three of them immediately stood back to back, looking around with vigilant eyes. However, they didn't realize anything at all. The defensive postures of the two big guys clearly told them that the assassin was still watching!

The three of them maintained this posture. An hour passed quickly, but nothing happened. However, the three of them and the two wolves did not relax their vigilance. Suddenly, a scream came from not far away. Wenren Qiaoer

My spirit suddenly tightened, and I subconsciously looked in that direction.

Just as she turned her head, a faint figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and a cold sword light lit up from her neck. It seemed that the next moment, that beautiful head was about to fly up.

However, a sudden dinging sound changed this ending.

The tip of Zheng Lingxiao's long sword hit the edge of the dagger. The dagger was only a few centimeters away from Wen Ren Qiao'er's snow-white neck. Without a single hit, the assassin's figure quickly retreated and was about to disappear.
