Chapter 596

Arid Peace Palace

Outside the county capital, a beam of light cut through the air. In front of the giant city gates, countless saber energies crisscrossed. Surrounded by this terrifying saber energy, a figure was faintly discernible.

This person was dressed in coarse clothes, and his exposed skin was wheat-colored. His muscles were bulging, and he was tall. However, the saber on his back was even larger than his body, and looked extremely exaggerated. It was actually the one-track minded youth with the saber.

"This Muqin County capital isn't small, but it's much worse than the capital of the Imperial City. I wonder if that boy who comprehended spear intent is in this county capital?"

The youth with the saber muttered to himself within the saber energy. Then, he stepped into the air and flew into the county capital. What was strange was that the guards at the city gates didn't detect this youth at all.

Woosh!

Arid Peace Palace was located deep in the northwest of Hundred Rivers Marquis Mansion. After Zhuowen landed on the ground, his aura was completely restrained as he slipped into the surrounding environment like a shadow. With Zhuowen's strength, as long as he didn't deliberately expose himself then no one would notice him.

Of course, Hundred Rivers Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded. Even Zhuowen had to spend a great deal of energy to avoid the probing of many powerhouses and arrive at Arid Peace Palace deep in the northwest.

After avoiding a group of patrolling soldiers, Zhuowen lifted his foot and was about to enter Arid Peace Palace when Xiao Hei's cautious voice sounded out in his mind.

"Be careful. There is an array formation outside Arid Peace Palace. If you casually step in then you will be discovered by Xu Tianliang within Arid Peace Palace."

Hearing this, Zhuowen was startled. He didn't think that there would be an array formation outside Arid Peace Palace. He quickly asked, "How come I don't feel any fluctuations of an array formation?"

Xiao Hei proudly smiled. "Who do you think this Dragon Lord is?

How can you compare to it? No formation can escape this Dragon Lord's Fiery Golden Eyes. "

Zhuowen helplessly shrugged. He didn't bother with the self-satisfied Xiao Hei. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then do you know how to break through it?"

"Of course. Watch this Dragon Lord."

Xiao Hei coldly smiled. She turned into a wisp of black light and vanished from Arid Peace Palace. Around an hour later, Xiao Hei returned to Zhuowen's spiritual sea. She said, "This array formation is quite fierce; it took me a great deal of time. You can go in now."

Zhuowen looked at Xiao Hei strangely. When he was trying to break the array, he did not see any signs of the array being broken. When he thought about how he did not see any signs of the array being broken, Zhuowen began to suspect that Xiao Hei was deliberately showing off in front of him to show off her great abilities.

"Hey!

Kid, what's with that look? Hurry up and go in! "Xiao Hei said coldly.

Zhuowen curled his lips and nodded. Then, he stepped forwards and flew into Arid Peace Palace like a gust of wind.

Two black-armored soldiers stood on either side of Arid Peace Palace's gates. With a flash of cold light, the two soldiers fell to the ground without even making a sound. Then, a phantom flashed past them and entered the palace.

Inside the entrance was a deep corridor. Lamps were lit on both sides, making the dark corridor seem as bright as day.

Zhuowen walked carefully. Before he found the Zhuo Family, he didn't dare to alert the enemy. After all, if he did, Xu Tianliang might do something to the Zhuo Family.

With Xiao Hei's help, Zhuowen restrained his aura to the extreme. He was like a shadow beneath the light. After passing through the corridor, he arrived at a wide hall. There were stone pillars erected all around, supporting the entire hall.

There wasn't a single person in the hall, and deathly silence that seemed like complete silence spread throughout the surroundings, causing it to be cold and terrifying.

"There's no one here?"

Looking around at the silent surroundings, Zhuowen frowned. This hall should be the deepest part of Arid Peace Palace. If he wasn't wrong, this should be where Xu Tianliang usually stayed. So why was it so strange today that there wasn't a single person here?

Creak!

The sound of machinery turning echoed throughout the hall. Zhuowen immediately noticed that in the left corner of the hall, there was a row of common-looking bookshelves. At this time, the bookshelves began to slowly open from the center. Zhuowen could even faintly hear the voices of people inside.

Woosh!

Zhuowen wasn't slow. He immediately hid behind a stone pillar, hiding in the shadows. With Xiao Hei's help, they seemed to blend into the darkness.

The bookshelves completely opened and two figures walked out. These two people weren't too old and they were dressed as servants. As they walked out, they were chatting with each other.

However, the way these two people walked was a bit strange. With one in front and one behind, it was as if they were carrying something together. It seemed as if they were struggling.

"The Crown Prince's murderous aura is too heavy!

How many people has he tortured today? "

"It should be the tenth. I really have no idea why the Crown Prince would torture these people.

Moreover, he cruelly tortured them to death. Even I can't stand such a scene. "

"Why do you care so much?

Maybe these people offended the Crown Prince in some way?

Don't say such things again in the future. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince hears you, you'll be in for a treat. "

Drip! Drip!

As the two people walked past Zhuowen's stone pillar, Zhuowen could clearly hear the sound of water dripping onto the ground. Then, he discovered that the path the two people were walking on was filled with red blood. And, this blood was flowing from the object they were carrying.

When the two of them arrived at Zhuo Wen's side, Zhuo Wen discovered that the two of them were carrying a corpse. The corpse belonged to a young man who was about the same age as Zhuo Wen. At this moment, blood was flowing out of his seven orifices. His eyes were wide open and filled with resentment.

When Zhuowen saw the appearance of this corpse, his pupils shrank into needles and his heart skipped a beat. This corpse was actually a member of the Zhuo Family. Moreover, he also knew this person. He was a junior of the same generation as the Zhuo Family. His name was Zhuo Jun.

When Zhuowen became the Pavilion Master of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, this Zhuo Jun had also sent gifts to Zhuowen. Their relationship could be considered good. But now, he had turned into an ice- cold corpse.

"Who are you?

How did you enter Arid Peace Palace? "The two people suddenly discovered Zhuowen behind the stone pillar and couldn't help but shout out loud.

They had never seen this person in Arid Peace Palace before. Moreover, this person's appearance was extremely unfamiliar. If they didn't discover him behind the stone pillar, then they feared he wasn't simple at all.

"Put him down!

Then bring me into the chamber. "

Zhuowen's complexion was ice cold. From the conversation just now, it seemed that Xu Tianliang had gone mad and tortured the Zhuo Family clansmen. He had even tortured 65 of them to death. At this time, Zhuowen's heart was burning with anxiety. He had to hurry to the chamber and rescue his clansmen.

"You really aren't someone from the Hundred Rivers Marquis Mansion. You actually dare to intrude into the mansion? Are you tired of living?

Today, I will capture you and bring you to see the Crown Heir … "

The tall and thin servant standing in front had his hands on his hips, a cold sneer on his face. He looked at Zhuowen as if he were looking at a dead man. In his opinion, Zhuowen was simply seeking death by intruding into the Hundred Rivers Marquis Mansion.

Puchi!

A cold light flashed and blood gushed out. The tall and thin servant's voice came to an abrupt end. He clutched his neck and looked at the mysterious youth in front of him with horror. Then, he slowly slumped to the ground.

The other short and fat servant looked at the tall and thin servant who had lost his breath. His whole body trembled and his teeth chattered. With a plop, he knelt down and said, "Sir, please spare my life. Don't kill me."

The tall and thin servant was stronger than him. Now that he was killed in one move, the short and fat servant naturally knew that he was no match for the mysterious youth in front of him. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Bring me to the chamber, or die!"

Zhuo Wen's gaze was extremely cold. As he looked at Zhuo Jun, who had died with his eyes wide open, the killing intent in Zhuo Wen's heart towards Xu Tianliang surged even more violently.

"Okay, okay!

I will bring you to the chamber. "

The short and fat servant bitterly smiled and could only agree. He knew that if he didn't agree, the young man in front of him would directly kill him with a spear strike.

Slowly walking to Zhuo Jun's corpse, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with sorrow. He closed Zhuo Jun's angry eyes and calmly said, "Don't worry. Today, Xu Tianliang will definitely die."

Hearing this, the short and fat servant's eyes revealed a trace of shock. This mysterious youth was actually here to assassinate the crown prince. He looked less than 75 years old. How could he be a match for the crown prince?

He was probably here to die!

Thinking of this, the short and fat servant shook his head. He felt that this mysterious youth was overestimating himself. He actually dared to challenge the crown prince.

"Lead the way. Don't play any tricks. My spear will always run faster than you. If you don't want to die, you'd better bring me to Xu Tianliang." Zhuowen's gaze was cold as he pressed the spear tip against the short and fat servant's back.

"I don't dare. I will lead the way for you."

Feeling the coldness from his back, the short and fat servant's body turned cold. He quickly led Zhuowen to the bookshelf that had already been opened.

Behind the bookshelf was a deep tunnel. There were oil lamps on both sides, so the line of sight was quite clear. Following the short and fat servant, Zhuowen slowly entered the tunnel, but he didn't let down his guard.

In the depths of the tunnel, there was a huge space. The walls of this space were made of rock, and there were huge lamps hanging in the air. They were like small suns, illuminating this dark space.

There were all kinds of torture instruments in this space. At this time, these instruments were more or less stained with blood. The smell of blood filled the entire space.

In the center of this space, there were dozens of wooden crosses. There were people tied to these crosses. If Zhuowen was here, he would definitely recognize these people. They were all members of the Zhuo Family.

Grandpa Zhuo Xiangding, Big Uncle Zhuo Beitian, Second Uncle Zhuo Dingtian, and Zhuo Wen also had quite a number of geniuses of the same generation. Most of them were riddled with scars and wounds all over their bodies. Cherry-Red blood dripped onto the ground.

Under the crosses, there were many people dressed like servants. They held whips in their hands and waved them at the people on the crosses, leaving new scars on their bodies.

At this moment, Xu Tianliang was sitting in front of the crowd, looking at the painful expressions of the people on the crosses with a mocking gaze. Beside Xu Tianliang stood a middle-aged man in blue with a terrifying aura and a cold expression.

"Hehe!

Don't blame me, Xu Tianliang. If you want to blame someone, blame that son of a bitch from the Zhuo Family called Zhuowen. Not only did he kill my second brother, but he also caused me to lose my ancient inheritance. He deserved to die in the inheritance of the Blood Devil. "Xu Tianliang said slowly.

"Good kill!

Your Baichuan Marquis Mansion is no good. I really hate that Zhuowen didn't kill you back then. "
