Tu Xiong picked up the note and found only one line on it: Tie Li is dead. The rest is up to you two. Don't let Pavilion Leader Chen down!
"When did he get close to us? We didn't notice him at all!"
"This note may have been here for a few hours, which means that Tie Li died a few hours ago, and his men only found out now!"
"Who did it? This kind of assassination skill is too terrifying!"
Ye Jin's scalp went numb, while Tu Xiong's face darkened.
He was originally dissatisfied with Gu Chen's arrangement, but now this thought disappeared.
The hidden killer had already completed his task and left them a message, but they didn't notice it at all. They had been discussing for such a long time just now!
With this person's skills, it would be easy for him to kill them. He was a top-notch assassin!
"There's no time to lose. Let's take action immediately. We can't hold him back!"
Ye Jin felt a sense of crisis. If he couldn't handle the following matters beautifully, it was very likely that the great merit would slip away.
Tu Xiong nodded solemnly, and the two immediately took action. All the killers, spies, and spies in the Jin Kingdom were also active!
…
In the Cang Kingdom, Storm Yu Ying finished reading the letter sent by her subordinates. She looked up at Ye Zhen and said, "Mao Guanyu, the Prime Minister of the Cang Kingdom, has been killed by Chen Yi. Unfortunately, Prince Cang has already been killed by Mao Guanyu. It's too late when we found out. What should we do now?"
Ye Zhen thought for a while and said, "Most of Prince Cang's sons have also been killed by Mao Guanyu and Qiankun Association. Only the fourth prince, who was not favored by Prince Cang and was sent to the Barbarian Land, is still alive. We can only help him to take the throne now."
"In that case, I'll go find the fourth prince as soon as possible. I'll leave the capital to you," Storm said immediately.
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work," Ye Zhen said softly.
"Not at all. Ye Wunian has already fallen. As long as I do what Chen Yi asked me to do, you won't have to worry anymore. We can also be together in peace."
Storm smiled and touched the back of Ye Zhen's head. Then, she turned into a gust of wind and flew away.
…
On the battlefield in Pei State.
The allied forces of the Ze Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom had just conquered another county of the Pei Kingdom. The next county they were about to attack was the Copper Stone County, which was not far from the Flaming Kingdom's army. It could be said that they were being attacked from both front and back. With the combined strength of the three countries, it was already a matter of time before they could take it down.
Old Ancestor Wild Fox was in a good mood because the war was going so smoothly. After separating from Ming Shou, who was in charge of supervising the army, he hummed a tune as he entered his tent.
After a while, a small wild fox hurriedly ran into the tent, gasping for breath.
"Not … not good, Old Ancestor, there's … news from Royal City!"
"What's the news? Do you think it's appropriate to be so flustered? "
Old Ancestor Wildfox scolded. Little Wildfox took the letter and opened it. His expression changed greatly.
"A beast tide has appeared in the Great Desolate Swamp, and the scale is far greater than before. It has already broken through the borders, and King City is now in imminent danger. Old Ancestor, please return and reinforce us!"
The tone of the message that came from the clan was exceptionally urgent. Right now, the Ze Country's army was expanding their territory and reaping great rewards. If it wasn't for the fact that the situation had reached an extremely urgent state, they would never use such words!
Old Ancestor Wildfox was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He muttered to himself, "How could this be? How long has it been since the beast tide? Why did the beast tide erupt again all of a sudden? Could it be that another Golden Divine Crocodile has appeared in the depths of the swamp? Why would it appear at this time? The timing is too coincidental! "
As Old Ancestor Wildfox thought about it, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Previously, Chen Yi from Pei Country had snuck into Wild Fox Royal City to meet him. He had said that the beast tide was caused by a Golden Divine Crocodile, and that Pei Country had already helped to resolve it. The beast tide would soon retreat.
Later, it was just as he had said. The beast tide really retreated, and Ze Country's urgent situation was resolved.
And now, when Pei Country was in danger of being destroyed, the beast tide from the Great Desolate Swamp suddenly appeared again. Could it be that this beast tide had something to do with Chen Yi?
Old Ancestor Wildfox couldn't help but make this guess, but he quickly shook his head.
"Impossible! Even if that Chen Yi has some ability, how could he control the beast tide from the Great Desolate Swamp? Outsiders who enter that place will die for sure! Moreover, from what Qiankun Group said, that Chen Yi is currently in Pei Country and can't even take care of himself. He might already be dead! "
Old Ancestor Wildfox tried his best to comfort himself. This kind of thing couldn't possibly happen. This beast tide was just a coincidence.
He quickly frowned again. Ze Country's army had been split into two groups, attacking both sides of Pei Country. Now, there were very few troops stationed at the borders of the Great Desolate Swamp. As for Wild Fox Royal City, there were even fewer troops!
Under such a situation, if a beast tide attacked on a large scale, it would be very difficult for Royal City to survive. In the worst case, his Wild Fox Clan's lair would be gone!
For a moment, he regretted being too greedy. Based on the pattern of the beast tide's appearance in the past, he had determined that there wouldn't be another beast tide in a short period of time. He had actually mobilized most of his troops. Now, it was hard for him to back down!
At this moment, if he gave up on attacking Pei Country, not only would he offend Qiankun Group, but all the territories that he had conquered would also be gone.
However, if he didn't go back to support them, not only would Royal City fall, but countless women and children of his Wild Fox Clan would also die. At that time, not only would it greatly affect the morale of the frontline troops, but it would also shake the foundation of the Wild Fox Clan!
The swamp was the Wild Fox Clan's home. No matter how much territory they conquered outside, it was inevitable that they wouldn't be able to adapt. Once their home was gone, the Wild Fox Clan would be like stray dogs.
For countless years, the Wild Fox Clan had relied on the unique conditions of the swamp to avoid countless disasters. They couldn't afford to lose their home!
Old Ancestor Wildfox was suddenly in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do!
Puff!
Blood suddenly gushed out from the neck of the small wild fox in front of him. It seemed that it had been pierced by a sharp sword. It fell to the ground with a sad cry!
Old Ancestor Wildfox's expression immediately turned serious, and his eyes shone with a murderous light. "Who is it?"
He didn't know who had killed his descendant in front of him, but he didn't notice it at all!
An expert!
The person who came was definitely an expert who could threaten his life!
"I'm here to convey some information to you on the order of Pavilion Master Chen Yi!"
In the darkness, Ninja carried a scabbard that was as tall as him and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Chen Yi?"
Old Ancestor Wildfox felt his scalp go numb, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
It's him!
The beast tide in the Great Desolate Swamp was really attracted by him!
If it wasn't for him, it was impossible for his people to appear here at this time!
"Chen … Pavilion Master Chen, what orders do you have for me?"
Old Ancestor Wildfox swallowed his saliva. At this moment, his heart was filled with bitterness. He regretted betraying Chen Yi.
So what if they occupied the entire Pei Country? Was it worth it to lose the home passed down by their ancestors, the way home, and the future of their clan?
"Pavilion Master Chen has ordered that the armies of the Ze Country and the Mist Country cooperate with the Pei Country and annihilate the army of the Flare Country in the Copper Stone Commandery. If anyone disobeys, the Wild Fox Clan will be annihilated!"
