C1216 Hidden Secrets

"What do you mean?"

Bai Wuji's face was filled with surprise and suspicion.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "Guess for yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The Bai family had colluded with the Su family to scheme against the Zhou family's trading company. It was time to settle this score.

Swish!

In the next moment, a sword light flashed across the sky.

Dang!

Bai Wuji's pupils contracted. His expression changed drastically. In a panic, he took out a treasure Long Spear and used it to block in front of him.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Sparks flew in all directions. The impact was so strong that Bai Wuji's hand went numb and he almost dislocated it.

"What?"

Bai Wuji lowered his head to look at the weapon in his hand. The Long Spear was cut in half by a small and exquisite dagger.

The sharpness of the dagger was comparable to that of a spiritual weapon.

Hiss hiss ~

Looking at the broken half of the Long Spear in his hand, Bai Wuji's heart was filled with waves of shock.

"How is this possible..."

Bai Wuji's face was ashen as he muttered to himself.

Swish!

Suddenly, a bright sword light flashed past, carrying with it a sharp killing intent.

Gengci!

Before Bai Wuji could react, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. Warm and stinky blood sprayed out and dyed his red robe.

His eyes were unfocused and his throat moved a few times before he managed to open his mouth with great difficulty.

"You... You really dare to kill me?"

Bai Wuji could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. His entire body was trembling as he stared at Zhou Yan in fear.

The other party's ferocity was beyond his imagination.

"So what if I kill you?"

A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face as he said this indifferently.

Originally, he did not want to kill the innocent, but these people all wanted to kill him. Since that was the case, he could not be blamed.

"You... Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Bai Family?"

Bai Wuji's heart was filled with grievance. He had a noble status and his martial arts skills were unparalleled. Now, he had actually fallen into the hands of his enemies.

"Do you think I would care about a mere Bai Family?"

Zhou Yan sneered.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud sound exploded like thunder from the Ninth Heaven. A destructive aura descended and enveloped the entire scene.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The space around Zhou Yan trembled as ripples spread out. It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and the air was sucked dry.

Crack!

In the next second, a black-robed figure appeared.

"You... Who are you?"

Bai Wuji's face was filled with fear as he shouted in a trembling voice.

This black-robed figure was tall and sturdy. An ancient long blade hung from his back. His expression was ferocious and gave off a murderous aura.

"Who am I? Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The black-robed man laughed, and his eyes were bone-chilling as he coldly said, "I am King Yama!"

"King of Hell?"

Bai Wuji's expression changed. He was filled with fear and hurriedly said, "You are from the Underworld King Palace, and my father is City Lord Bai Xiaoyun. If you dare to kill me, you will not be able to escape from the Bai Palace."

"Underworld King Hall?"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had heard of this power before.

"That's right. The Underworld King Hall is an expert under the command of the Northwestern King. They specialize in collecting souls and refining them into Ghost Soldiers. Their strength is extremely powerful and terrifying."

Bai Wuji's face was filled with ecstasy. He quickly brought out the Underworld King Hall to threaten Zhou Yan.

"Underworld King Hall..."

Zhou Yan's expression darkened and his heart was filled with worry.

Although he was not afraid of the Bai Family, the Underworld King Hall was a little troublesome.

"Underworld King Palace, I want to see what kind of ability you have!"

After a while, Zhou Yan took a deep breath. With a cold expression on his face, he once again approached Bai Wuji.

"You... You can't kill me..."

Seeing Zhou Yan getting closer and closer, Bai Wuji was scared out of his wits. He shouted hysterically.

As the patriarch of the Bai family, how could he be willing to die just like that?

"Bai Wuji, do you think I will be afraid just because you moved out of the Underworld King Hall?"

Zhou Yan shook his head and sneered, "The Underworld King Hall is just the weakest force under the Northwest King's command."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, this Underworld King Palace is not ruled by the Underworld King, but by the three great reverends of the Northwest King."

"If you kill me, the Bai Family will definitely not let this matter go."

Bai Wuji's face was filled with pleading as he begged Zhou Yan for mercy.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan stopped in his tracks and fell into deep thought.

It was true that he was not afraid of the Bai Family taking revenge on him. However, if the Northwest King was involved, it would be troublesome.

After all, the North-West King was the ruler of the continent. He controlled the entire North-West Continent and the entire Eastern Wastelands. Even the Imperials had to retreat.

If one offended the North-West King, they had to be extremely careful.

"You want to live?"

Zhou Yan raised his head, glanced at Bai Wuji and grinned.

"Yes... I want to live."

Bai Wuji's heart skipped a beat and he quickly responded.

At this moment, he could not care less about anything else. All he wanted was to keep his life.

"Hehe, it's a pity that it's too late."

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's expression darkened and he said in a cold voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his wrist and pressed the dagger against Bai Wuji's chest.

"You..."

Bai Wuji's face was pale and his eyes were wide open. He looked at Zhou Yan with unwillingness in his eyes. He never would have thought that Zhou Yan would actually have the intention to kill him.

"Go to hell."

With a cold expression on his face, Zhou Yan exerted force with his fingers, preparing to pierce the dagger through Bai Wuji's chest.

Huff!

At this moment, a violent sound of wind breaking could be heard coming from afar, accompanied by a strong murderous aura.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yan frowned slightly and raised his head to take a look.

Boom!

In an instant, a crimson ray of light shot over and struck the stone pillar.

Crack!

The stone pillar shattered, turning into dust that filled the air.

As the dust settled, a stalwart figure appeared.

The newcomer was muscular and wore armor. He had a battle blade on his waist and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

On his shoulder was a black chain.

The black chain was several yards thick and smashed into the ground like a whip, leaving behind a crater.2

"This is... a Mystic Iron Chain?"

Zhou Yan's pupils contracted as his heart was in turmoil.

The Black Iron Chain was a special product of the Southern Sun Country. It was incomparably tough, and ordinary sharp blades would not be able to cut through it at all.

At this moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Hehe, little child, you finally came out."

At the same time, the burly figure also saw Zhou Yan and grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

Zhou Yan asked with a serious expression.

He could feel that this person was definitely not simple, and his strength had even reached the Innate Realm.

"I am one of the Eight Bureaus under the Northwestern Throne, King Yama!"

The burly figure grinned and said confidently.

Eight Groups of the North-West Throne?

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed. He had once looked up information about the Eight Bureaus.

Each group was formed by a Martial Arts Grandmaster, representing the peak strength of the King of the Northwest.

The leader of the Eight Bureaus was the Underworld King Hall.

It was said that the Underworld King Palace Master had already stepped into the Astral Dan Realm and was a Martial Grandmaster expert.

Even in the Northwestern Palace, he was a famous expert with a high status.

"I'll remember the Underworld Palace."

Zhou Yan's eyes shot out two terrifying rays of cold light as he coldly snorted.

"Good boy, you have guts. You actually know about the Northwest King Palace."

King Yama grinned and said indifferently:

"My black iron chain is forged from Meteoric Iron. Even a Grandmaster wouldn't be able to break it."

"If you want to live, there's only one way."
