Chapter 618: Chapter 311: Zhi Yan dies for love, Suo Lun!_2

"Thank you, fourth brother, I will take care of your mother’s affairs," Turing Duo said.

Fen Mo nodded and then could not help asking, "There are rumors that Suo Lun is already dead?"

"That’s not a rumor; he is indeed dead, and his skull is in the hands of Zhi Li His Highness," Turing Duo replied.

Fen Mo’s complexion changed, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Then why are there rumors that Suo Lun sent an assassin to kill Zhi Li?"

"It’s an opportunity to drive a point home, finding a reason to annihilate the Suo family," Turing Duo explained.

She was very clever, deliberately revealing certain seemingly top secret, yet inconsequential matters, which made people feel as if she had utmost trust in them.

Instantly, Fen Mo fell silent.

Turing Duo continued, "Fourth brother, the downfall of the Suo family is already a foregone conclusion, but you have a bright future ahead. After the fall of Tianshui City, your mission will be nearly complete. At that time, you can come to Luan Yang City to be the deputy commander of the City Defense Army, or you can go to the southern expedition camp. However, I hope you come to Luan Yang City and help me lead troops."

"We’ll discuss it later," Fen Mo said. "I must take my leave, lest someone notices any slip."

"Farewell, fourth brother," Turing Duo said.

Fen Mo secretly left the Earl of Luan Yang’s estate.

At this time, Tuli Yang was still eagerly preparing a banquet. He disliked anyone from the Turing Clan, but since it was rare for his wife to have a close brother, he also wanted to make an effort to please him.

"Where’s the eldest brother?" Tuli Yang asked.

"He’s busy with military duties; he’s left," Turing Duo replied.

Tuli Yang expressed his regret, "Did he, return to Duke Turing’s Mansion?"

"No, he won’t go there," Turing Duo said. "He has no footing in Duke Turing’s Mansion, but he’s very talented, so I want to recruit him to help you in Luan Yang City. Your brothers are ambitious and often bully you; it’s not good to be without your own people."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you. You’re so good to me," Tuli Yang said tenderly. "I’m not afraid of my brothers either, but since our father is still missing, I don’t wish to fight with them and give others a spectacle, especially not to let them think Luan Yang City is vulnerable."

Upon hearing this, Turing Duo was actually taken aback.

After Count Tuli Yun fell behind, his other sons began to behave arrogantly and started oppressing Tuli Yang while also cozying up to Zhi Li, signaling their aspiration to replace him.

Tuli Yang had always been rather yielding, and Turing Duo thought him weak and easy to bully; she had not expected him to speak such words.

Her short, unsightly husband, besides being short-statured, ugly-faced, and somewhat eccentric and paranoid, possessed a surprising amount of intelligence and magnanimity.

However, once he faced matters of the heart, he was like a fool, completely manipulated by her.

Turing Duo even felt that if she wanted to kill Tuli Yang, he would probably foolishly extend his neck for the deed.

"Alas..." a sigh filled Turing Duo’s heart.

...

Upon hearing the voice of Zhi Yan, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou was immediately startled.

Suo Lun was also extremely shocked. How could Zhi Yan have followed them? How did she find this place?

Immediately afterward, Zhi Yan descended from the mountain with her sword, as if a fairy from above, and directly stabbed at Yuanyuan.

Before Yuanyuan could issue an order, dozens of top-notch Yaozhou experts pounced towards Zhi Yan.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

These dozens of Yaozhou experts moved like ghostly shadows.

All of these experts were Yaozhou Ghost Shadow Warriors.

Suo Lun was fully aware of the strength of the Ghost Shadow Warriors.

During the battle where Ashi Luo fought against Elder Gao Yu, five Yaozhou Ghost Shadow Warriors had been deployed.

The Ghost Shadow Warriors didn’t have any other distinguishing traits except that they were fast and agile, appearing as if they could blink and change their position in the blink of an eye.

If it wasn’t for Yan Nai’er ordering thousands of archers to shoot arrows like mad, giving these Ghost Shadow Warriors no place to hide, Elder Gao Yu would have been killed by these warriors that day.

And Ashi Luo had only brought five Ghost Shadow Warriors at the time, but today, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou had dozens of them by her side.

Their speed was incomparably swift, as if they were blinking in and out of sight.

Elder Gao’s martial skills ranked high in the whole Rage Wave Kingdom, yet he still couldn’t withstand three Ghost Shadow Warriors from Yaozhou.

Suo Lun knew that Zhi Yan’s martial skills were very strong, possibly on par with Ashi Liren, and at the same level as Li Chenglian and Gao Yin – they should not be much stronger than Gao Yu.

Gao Yu couldn’t withstand three Yaozhou Ghost Shadow Warriors, and now dozens of them were enclosing Zhi Yan for the kill.

Others might not dare to kill Zhi Yan, but Witch Yuanyuan truly had the courage to do so.

Because Zhi Yan was now without the protection of the Dragon Temple.

Seeing dozens of Yaozhou Ghost Shadow Warriors encircling Zhi Yan like specters, with their swords creating a flurry of light and shadow that diced at her, Suo Lun’s heart raced with urgency.

This foolish woman, doesn’t she know to sneak about and save me covertly? Instead, she fears others might not notice her, shouting loudly before charging into the fray.

"Yuanyuan, don’t kill her," Suo Lun quickly said to the witch.

"She’s my sworn enemy. If I can kill her, I definitely will," Witch Yuanyuan chuckled.

Zhuang Zhixuan, on the other hand, stood with his sword in front of Yuanyuan, ready to protect her.

"Yuanyuan, spare her life, and I’ll help you obtain the Dragon Mark relic inside Butu Tower," Suo Lun shouted.

"Tsk tsk... you think too highly of yourself," Yuanyuan laughed. "You think you’re in a position to bargain."

Then, she lazily watched as dozens of Yaozhou Ghost Shadow Warriors encircled Zhi Yan.

By now, Princess Zhi Yan was completely out of sight, surrounded by dozens of ghostly figures, with countless swords furiously slashing at her.
