Chapter 595: 301: Goodbye Zhi Yan! Princess of Demon State!_2

Following that, Liren, with a hint of mockery in her tone, said, "What’s the big deal about flirting, about making lewd comments? Anyone can do that. The low tricks you pulled on me in Rou Ran City weren’t anything special, so stop acting like some kind of Casanova."

And so, Suo Lun became the one being teased.

"Young man, I’m leaving. Be careful, watch out for everyone," Liren said, as she then gracefully walked out of the princess’s residence.

After saying goodbye to Suo Lun alone, she did not allow him to see her out.

Yesterday, when the Ashi Liren entered the royal city, all the nobles and lords turned out, creating an unprecedented scene.

But today, when the Ashi Liren left the royal city, only Zhen Yan Princess and Duke Zhi Ting were there to see her off—it was quite clear that Zhi Li wouldn’t come to seek any more embarrassment.

...

After the Ashi Liren had left,

Suo Lun went to see Zhen Yan Princess and brought up the matter of weapons and armor.

Zhen Yan Princess pondered for a moment, then said, "I’ll take care of it."

Suo Lun was stunned; this was about the weaponry and armor for tens of thousands of troops, which only Ba Zhou could provide, yet Zhen Yan said she would handle it directly.

However, since she had mentioned it, she certainly could do it.

Suo Lun said, "I’ve been away from home for a long time and will soon return to Tianshui City. Are you coming with me?"

At this moment, Suo Lun was completely eager to return!

Zhen Yan Princess pondered again for a moment, shook her head and said, "I still have things to take care of in the royal city, so I won’t go back with you for now. I’ll visit Tianshui City after a while."

"Alright," Suo Lun said.

Zhen Yan smiled and said, "Qin Qin is really adorable; she thinks about you every day, looking forward to your return."

Remembering Qin Qin’s little face and her small, expressive eyes, Suo Lun felt his heart soften and wished he could fly back instantly.

"Then I’ll be going now, goodbye," Suo Lun stood up and said.

"Mhm!" Zhen Yan stood up to see him off.

During their conversation, neither Suo Lun nor Zhen Yan Princess mentioned Huai Bingyi.

Outside the princess’s residence, more than a dozen Shadow Cabinet warriors and over a hundred cavalry were already waiting.

Suo Lun mounted his horse, and the warriors and cavalry immediately surrounded him for protection.

With a wave of his hand, Suo Lun, protected by over a hundred people, left the princess’s residence, left the royal city, and headed for Tianshui City.

He didn’t opt for a griffin ride, not because he didn’t want to but because griffins were a strategic resource, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

Watching Suo Lun’s departing figure, Duke Zhi Ting suddenly said, "You should have gone with him back to Tianshui City. Now that Zhi Li sees him as a thorn in his side, he will resort to any means. You should be by his side to protect him."

Zhen Yan replied, "Yesterday, Liren made her position clear in public. I’m worried that Zhi Li, acting out of desperation, may target my father. Also, there seems to be some movement on his end already. Moreover, I need to take care of the weaponry and armor for tens of thousands of troops, so I must stay in the royal city for a few more days."

"Oh," Duke Zhi Ting said, "I see."

Zhen Yan continued, "With ten Dragon Samurai and over a hundred elite samurai as protection, and Suo Lun’s spiritual power being extremely strong, allowing him to sense danger from afar, there won’t be any problems."

Duke Zhi Ting said, "Suo Lun is our only hope. If anything were to happen to him, all our efforts would be in vain."

Just then, the voice of a female warrior rang out from outside.

"Your Highness Princess, a young master named Huai Bingyi seeks an audience."

Zhen Yan nodded and said, "Oh, let him in."

Then, she turned to Zhi Ting and said, "Uncle, come with me to meet him."

...

Suo Lun, escorted by the Shadow Cabinet warriors, galloped all the way back to Tianshui City.

All along the way, Suo Lun traveled day and night, constantly changing horses, without rest.

Nine hours later, he had already covered more than nine hundred miles.

At this moment, he was in a valley, at the end of spring, with blossoms in full bloom, green grass lush and verdant, and dawn breaking.

The scenery was enchantingly beautiful.

Suo Lun and his retinue of over a hundred men and more than two hundred steeds shattered the tranquility of the valley.

On the grassland, countless butterflies and bees were startled into flight.

The verdant grass, once like a green carpet, was trampled into disarray by the horses—truly a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.

Then Suo Lun felt something was off—the grass in this valley seemed too vividly green. The flowers bloomed too brilliantly.

And all the butterflies and bees seemed to converge here.

This valley was just too bewitchingly beautiful to be ordinary!

Suddenly, Suo Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed an aura of murder!

"Charge out at full speed..." Suo Lun shouted his command.

But...

The lush green grass on the ground suddenly turned into a terrifying hellscape of entangling hands.

The grass over knee-high instantly rotted, turning into a frightful green sludge.

A few hundred meters around, the ground also suddenly rotted and collapsed, transforming into an extremely sticky pit of sludge, like a dark vortex opening up to hell itself.

Countless steeds screamed as they were swallowed by this massive whirlpool of mud.

Tens of thousands of square meters of green grassland instantaneously became a hellish swamp.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

All the Shadow Cabinet Warriors leaped up, ready to shield Suo Lun with their bodies.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

At the same time, countless terrifying arrows of darkness shot from all around the valley.

These arrows were black ice arrows!

Shadow Cabinet experts fell one after another, protecting Suo Lun with their bodies and swinging their weapons to chop down the incoming dark ice arrows.

"Bang bang bang..."

Many dark poison arrows instantly shattered, turning into numerous thick clouds of dark fog.

This dark fog sprayed over the bodies of the Shadow Cabinet experts.

And then...

A horrifying scene ensued!

The bodies of these Shadow Cabinet experts began to rapidly rot away, decaying...

Skin, muscles, all of it turned to rotten sludge and noxious pus, revealing the stark white bones beneath.

But then, even these white bones began to rot.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

Numerous Shadow Cabinet experts emitted eerie, blood-curdling screams.

One after another, the bodies of the Shadow Cabinet Warriors decayed, turning into a mass of sludge.

Still, all the Shadow Cabinet experts continued to fall in succession, desperately charging towards Suo Lun, using their bodies as shields, protecting him at the center.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

But under this terrifying dark toxic fog,

These Shadow Cabinet experts melted away like snow in boiling water, and in just a short time, all perished, becoming a pool of sludge that completely dissolved into the valley’s devilish swamp of mud.

Ten Dragon Samurai, in such circumstances, were utterly unable to use their martial arts.

These hundred-plus Shadow Cabinet Warriors died without even seeing their enemy, perishing without a trace.

In the end, all the fog enveloped Suo Lun.

But his body neither corroded nor decayed.

Only half of his body was trapped in this dreadful mire.

This scene made Suo Lun think of the game Warcraft on Earth, where wherever the Undead built their base, that place became a swamp of death and darkness.

"My lord, are you Count Suo Lun?" a woman’s voice came from outside the fog.

Utterly seductive and enchanting, it was a voice that made one’s mind swirl with confusion upon listening.

Suo Lun had never heard such a soul-stirring voice.

It took a surge of immense spiritual power to resist the voice’s alluring invasions.

"I am Suo Lun, who might you be from the Demon Continent?" Suo Lun asked.

"Princess of Demon State, Yuanyuan," the enchanting voice replied.

Suo Lun’s heart skipped a beat!

The Princess of Demon State?

The Demon Continent was the most mysterious and terrifying among the four major powers, the elusive dragon that governed all the Magicians of the world.

The owner of this bewitching voice was the Princess of the Demon Continent, of such high status?

Why would someone of her rank personally come to assassinate a lord from the mundane kingdoms of humanity?

"Princess Yuanyuan, what do you want with me?" Suo Lun inquired.

Yuanyuan said, "Ashi Luo died indirectly at your hands, it’s only right to kill you for revenge!"

"Swoosh..." A wave of intoxicating fragrance wafted through.

Instantly, an extremely enchanting and seductive figure appeared before Suo Lun,

A demon blade pressed against his neck.

Princess Yuanyuan’s soul-shaking voice rang once more, "Count Suo Lun, do you have any last words? You have only one sentence."
