Chapter 247 Enemy Outside the Villa

Late at night. Canton Governor Manor. Canton Governor Wei Xiongjian was sitting in the study, dealing with official matters that had not been resolved during the day.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a man in black walked in.

“Lord Canton Governor, there is news from the prince.”

The man in black handed a letter to the table.

“News from the prince?”

Wei Xiongjian frowned and quickly took the letter without any neglect.

Wei Xiongjian opened up the letter and read it carefully with a frown.

After a long time, he closed the letter.

“Give orders to the counties to intensify their patrols. For those dao realm masters who are injured, especially those who are moving in groups of two, they must be strictly investigated. If there are any suspicious points, immediately take them down. If they are not strong enough, ask them to report to their superiors.”

Wei Xiongjian had a solemn expression.

“Yes, Lord.”

The black-clothed man immediately responded when he saw Wei Xiongjian’s serious expression.

The man in black left the room, and Wei Xiongjian paced back and forth.

“I didn’t expect that someone would dare to steal the prince’s secret treasure. This is unbelievable…”

Wei Xiongjian muttered to himself, “It is very likely that those two thieves have escaped to the vicinity of Guanghe Canton. If I can capture these two and hand them to the prince, it will be beneficial for me.”

Outside Liuyan County.

Two figures walked forward secretly. Under the moonlight, their faces were pale, and their auras were weak. They were obviously injured.

But even so, the two traveled through the night extremely quickly. They were obviously dao realm masters.

“It is too dangerous to approach a city like this. Should we choose another path to escape?”

The man who spoke had a scar on his face.

The scar was obviously newly formed as it was still bleeding.

Generally speaking, as a dao realm master, after taking a medicinal pill, his injuries would recover extremely quickly. But now, the scar on his face showed no signs of healing. It was obvious that the power attached to the scar had been resisting his dao realm power.

“We have to collect some resources.” The bald man who spoke was in a better state than the scar-faced man.

“We don’t need much, just enough for us to use on the road.”

The bald man said, “In our current state, if we don’t have enough supplies, even if we escape from State Wansheng and go to the overseas archipelago, we won’t be able to heal our injuries in a short time. After all, the resources abroad are too scarce and difficult to find.”

The scar-faced man sighed with a look of regret. “I really regret listening to you. Although it was not comfortable to be with the prince, it was still considered a decent job. I was wrong to steal the prince’s secret treasure with you. We will definitely be hunted down. I’m afraid we will never have the opportunity to return to State Wansheng.”

The scar-faced man’s tone was full of resentment towards the bald man.

The bald man glanced at him coldly.

“Decent job? In our current state, we have no status at all next to the prince. Even if the prince inherits the throne in the future, the two of us will still be peripheral characters in the King Mansion. Moreover, we have both previously offended the chief butler. Who knows if he will find a way to kill us.”

The bald man said, “Now, although we are in danger, we have gained a lot from obtaining these two extremely precious and newly refined secret treasures.”

“You forgot that you once said that if you didn’t have to live under someone else’s roof one day, you would go abroad and be a carefree island owner. But now that the opportunity has come, you are afraid!”

The bald man scolded the scar-faced man. “These two new secret treasures that we have obtained can not only kill enemies above our realm, but also assist our own cultivation. With them, if we have more opportunities in the future, it is very likely that we can break through to the high level of the dao realm! At that time, even if we can’t return to State Wansheng, we can just travel abroad!”

“That being said…”

The scar-faced man touched his wound lightly. He was still in pain.

“Stop being so wishy-washy. Let’s find a place to grab some resources and go straight to the sea. The world overseas is endless. No matter how capable the prince is, he won’t be able to find us.”

The bald man did not give the scar-faced man any more time to regret. He just sped up.

The scar-faced man had a worried look on his face, but he knew that there was no way out, so he could only speed up and follow.

Suddenly, the bald man stopped, and the scar-faced man also stopped. “There is a villa over there!”

The bald man looked into the distance with excitement in his eyes.

“This villa is brightly lit. There are definitely people stationed there. It must be the private property of some family in Guanghe Canton! As long as we plunder this place, we will definitely be able to obtain sufficient resources to go abroad!”

The bald man laughed. “With this, we won’t have to enter the city and risk our lives!”

“This…”

The scar-faced man was still hesitating. “But we are both injured now…”

“It’s okay. We are both in the origin returnance realm. Although we are injured and can’t use our full strength, with these two secret treasures, as long as we don’t encounter a dao realm fourth stage core materialization realm master, there will be no problem.”

The bald man was full of confidence. “Moreover, a core materialization realm master has to be a family head of the Guanghe Canton. They are unlikely to appear here.”

“Okay, let’s do it!”

The scar-faced man gritted his teeth and responded.

Afterwards, the two sped towards the villa.

They didn’t even bother to hide their presence as they just barged into the villa.

“Who is it!?”

At this moment, a team of guards noticed the two.

The bald man ignored him. He slashed out with his astral qi, killing all the guards. Those guards were only in the elementary-level of the void realm, so they were powerless in front of him.

“I sense the aura of an origin returnance realm master. That person is likely to be the owner of this villa. All the good stuff must be on him! Let’s capture that person first!”

The bald man thought clearly.

“Okay!”

The scar-faced man responded, then the two moved together.

At this moment, Xu Ning was not in the sect. He had entered the Demon Beast Scroll with Gray.

They were going to select some flying demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll to be transportation tools for the Swallow Heron Sect.

The Demon Beast Scroll was a natural gathering place for demon beasts. Some demon beasts had already multiplied here and formed their own race.

Therefore, Xu Ning knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.

‘Unfamiliar dao realm masters have intruded!’

Cheng Zengtao, who was sitting quietly in his room, suddenly felt danger approaching.

“They are here with ill intentions!’

Cheng Zengtao felt the fierce auras of the other party. He stepped out of the sect and shouted, his voice echoing throughout the villa. “There are enemies! Disciples, protect yourselves!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zengtao saw two figures suddenly appear in front of him.

“Who are you?”

Cheng Zengtao suddenly felt a sense of danger when he sensed their murderous intents.

The bald man and the scar-faced man saw the storage ring on Cheng Zengtao’s hand at the same time.

“Kill him and take his storage ring!”

The bald man said sternly.

Afterwards, the two moved at the same time and attacked Cheng Zengtao. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Streams of astral qi flew past Cheng Zengtao.

Cheng Zengtao easily dodged them and took out his longsword dao weapon.

The bald man and the scar-faced man also took out their dao weapons, which were long blades of the same design.

‘Those long blades…’ After seeing those long blade dao weapons, Cheng Zengtao suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

However, the bald man and the scar-faced man obviously did not give Cheng Zengtao a chance.

“This person must have just broken through to the origin returnance realm not long ago. He is not strong, and he has only condensed two attribute true origins. Even without using a secret treasure, he can easily be dealt with!”

The bald man transmitted to the scar-faced man.

When the scar-faced man saw that Cheng Zengtao was not strong, he was relieved and his movements became even more aggressive.

‘I remember now!

Cheng Zengtao’s pupils suddenly shrank. ‘Those two identical long blade dao weapons are specially allocated to dao realm guards in the King Mansion!’

He remembered that when he followed his uncle Cheng Jinxian, he had interacted with people from the King Mansion.

At that time, the accompanying dao realm guards had this kind of dao weapon, which was exactly the same.

These two are from the King Mansion!’

Cheng Zengtao was shocked. He shouted, “Who are you, and why do you have dao weapons from the King Mansion?”

“How knowledgeable!” The scar-faced man was full of murderous intent.

“Since you recognize them, then we can’t keep you alive!”

The bald man and the scar-faced man did not hold back at all.

Instantly, Cheng Zengtao’s courtyard turned into ruins.

“It’s Senior Brother’s voice! Senior Brother is in trouble!”

Shao Xun, Tong Li, and Ou Wei also realized the danger at this moment.

They didn’t care that their realm was low. All of them just rushed over. “You still have help?”

The three of them arrived, but the bald man and the scar-faced man did not panic at all.

Two astral qi realm and one body smelting realm, these kinds of opponents could be easily dealt with.

In the backyard of the villa.

‘What’s going on?!’

Cyan was still sleeping when it was suddenly woken up.

Xu Hujun on the side was also on guard.

It took out the Demon Beast Scroll and communicated with Gray inside the Demon Beast Scroll.

After Xu Ning and Gray entered the Demon Beast Scroll, the bead formed by the Demon Beast Scroll was handed over to Xu Hujun for safekeeping

“Brother, Xu Hujun sent news that two dao realm masters have broken into the villa and attacked the people in the villa!”

Inside the Demon Beast Scroll, Gray transmitted to Xu Ning. “Two enemies that are dao realm masters?”

Xu Ning was shocked. “Go out now!”

The two figures suddenly appeared in the outside world the next instant.

As soon as he came out of the Demon Beast Scroll, Xu Ning sensed the auras of two origin returnance realm masters.

“Not good, Senior Brother Cheng and the others are in danger!”

Xu Ning disappeared from the spot.

Gray immediately followed.
