Chapter 94 Urgent Report

  Guang Wei, Leng Di Yao and Ping Fan rushed back to the base together, and as soon as they arrived, they hurriedly ran to Leng Xiao Yao's side. Their eyes glanced at Ping Fan beside Leng Xiao Yao, with an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

  It's rare to see Huang Tao with such an expression, so he immediately understood and calmly said: "Young master, I'll go in first. If there's anything, just call me."

  Leng Xiao Yao nodded slightly and only spoke after seeing Ping Fan leave: "Huang Da Ge, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

  Huang Tao directly pulled out a letter containing a wax seal from his own bosom and handed it to Leng Xiao Yao, saying: "An urgent message has arrived from Kyoto."

  Leng Xiao's face was filled with a hint of doubt as he took the letter, and when he had only scanned a few lines of the letter, his originally doubtful expression suddenly changed to shock.

  Huang Tao saw his young master's expression and his face changed slightly. He asked cautiously, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

  "Dog's belongings."

  Leng Xiao couldn't help but blurt out a foul word as he traversed to this time and space, his entire body filled with murderous intent.

  Whoosh! An ordinary figure appeared a hundred meters away from Leng Xiao Yao. When he saw that there were no enemies around Leng Xiao Yao, he slightly furrowed his brow and remained silent and motionless, with both eyes fixed on Leng Xiao Yao, seemingly astonished by the intense killing aura emanating from him.

  Young Master Huang Tao's voice was laced with a hint of breathlessness as he spoke up.

  Leng Xiao Yao only then realized that he had emitted killing aura again, so he hastily retracted the killing aura from his body. He had a feeling that after cultivating the Golden Body Indestructible Art, he seemed to have become more bloodthirsty and had an extremely violent temper, completely unlike his calm and collected self in his previous life.

  "Brother Huang, take a look yourself!" Leng Xiao Yao handed the letter to Huang Tao, but his face revealed an icy intent.

  Huang Tao took over the letter with a mixture of doubt and confusion, but after reading just a few lines, his face suddenly changed dramatically, and he exclaimed in shock: "Impossible, how can this be? How could General Yu be...?"

  "Of course, it's possible." Leng Xiao laughed coldly and said, seeing Huang Tao looking at him with a puzzled gaze, then coldly said: "External thieves are easy to prevent, internal thieves are hard to prevent!"

  Huang Tao's face slightly changed after hearing Leng Xiao Yao's words, and he asked tentatively: "Young Master, you can't be referring to...?"

  With a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, Leng Xiao Yao gazed at Huang Tao for a moment before letting out a long sigh and saying, "What's impossible? Power is something that can easily cause people to lose their rationality."

  "No way! Isn't he afraid?" Huang Tao couldn't believe the reality of this matter up until now, and he kept wanting to find an excuse to comfort himself. However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he seemed unable to find any excuse to comfort himself.

  "Alas! Never mind." Huang Tao let out a long sigh and continued: "What plans does the young master have?"

  After a moment of cold contemplation, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a resolute expression appeared on his face: "Since their target is the entire Cold family, I'll simply return to Kyoto with a big fanfare. I'd like to see how those petty people plan to deal with me."

  "No way!" Huang Tao didn't even think about it and directly refused, "Young Master, now that the old master is in this situation, if you go back to Tianlong Kingdom, what if something goes wrong again? Wouldn't the Leng family be destroyed in an instant? Absolutely not."

  "Huang, with Pingfan accompanying me back and Liu Hao and the others assisting me by my side, aren't you at ease?"

  Huang Tao shook his head and said: "Young Master, you still don't understand our Tian Long Kingdom. In fact, our Tian Long Kingdom also has a Sword God."

  "God of Sword?" Cold Xue's pupils contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

  The young master nodded slightly and let out a long sigh, saying: "Young Master, these are things that I didn't want to mention to you so early, but now that things have come to this point, I must tell you some things. I hope you will consider them carefully before making a decision."

  "Isn't it a rumor outside that the Tianlong Kingdom doesn't have a Sword God?" Cold Xiao's face still showed a look of surprise, according to his knowledge, it seemed that the Tianlong Kingdom was the weakest among the four major nations, precisely because the Tianlong Kingdom did not have a Sword God, so how did one suddenly appear?

  Huang Tao's face was filled with nostalgia as he gazed up at the sky, his voice low and mysterious. "This matter dates back to twenty-seven years ago, when Your Majesty personally led the expedition. At that time, our family's patriarch was the commander of the four armies. During one battle, Your Majesty's army and our family's army were separated by the enemy and forced into two different cities. In the end, Your Majesty's army was defeated, and you were forced to a cliff's edge. Seeing that all was lost, you chose to jump off the cliff rather than suffer further humiliation. However, you never expected that this leap would actually allow you to escape with your life. At the time, you were trapped at the bottom of the cliff, but several days later, someone else fell into the cliff as well - a middle-aged man covered in wounds, looking like he was on the verge of death. Your Majesty took pity on him and reached out to help, searching his body for medicine to treat his injuries. Perhaps it was due to this man's good fortune that he managed to survive, and after ten days of care from Your Majesty, his injuries were fully healed. During those ten days, you conversed with him and learned why he had fallen into the cliff and how he came to be so severely injured. He wanted to repay your kindness... and made a promise to grant you two conditions in return for saving his life. The first condition was that he would protect our country's current territory for fifty years. In the subsequent wars, this man did not take action until the battle against the Beastman Nation on the Plains of Slope, when the Beastman Nation's Sword God intervened. This man also took action then, and the two of them clashed in a great battle that lasted three days and three nights on the peak of the Horizontal Mountain. The outcome was undecided, but it was this battle that led to the founding of our nation."

  Leng Xiao Yao heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, saying: "Huang Da Ge, you mean to say that the person still owes Your Majesty two conditions?"

  "En." Huang Tao nodded and said: "So, young master, if it's really the imperial family who did this, your trip back to Kyoto will be fraught with danger!"

  "Huang Dage, then why didn't he directly ask the Sword God to take action?" Leng Xiao suddenly thought of this. If it was really the Emperor who wanted to destroy the Leng family, then why use such a despicable method as poisoning? He could have simply proposed a condition to that Sword God!

  Huang Tao sneered and said, "I think the Taishang Emperor probably still doesn't know about this matter! To think that the Sword God back then owed a favor to the Taishang Emperor, not the current emperor. What qualifications does he have to meet with the Sword God?"

  Leng Xiao Yao's eyes lit up when he heard Huang Tao's words: "Are you sure?"

  "En." Huang Tao nodded very confidently: "I am absolutely sure that if the Taishang Emperor wanted to kill General Yuan, he would not have waited until now. Perhaps Young Master is not aware of how deep the relationship between the Taishang Emperor and General Yuan was. In the Battle of Tiger's Gate back then, when a high-level sword saint from the Beastman Kingdom tried to assassinate General Yuan, the Taishang Emperor actually used his frail body to block the fatal blow for General Yuan. If it weren't for Qi Lao arriving in time, I'm afraid both the Taishang Emperor and General Yuan would have died together back then."

  Leng Xiao Yao finally understood why his grandfather was so devoted to the Tian Long Kingdom. Perhaps in his grandfather's mind, his own life was a gift from the Emperor, so he spent his entire life serving the kingdom with loyalty and dedication. Alas! I don't know if this is foolishness or foolish loyalty?

  "So, if the Emperor wants Marshal Yuan's life, it's an impossible thing." Huang Tao's tone was very firm, after all, he was one of the earliest followers of Leng Xiao Tian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known the secrets of the Tianlong Kingdom that outsiders didn't know. Otherwise, how could he have willingly given up his high position to come to this Gaoshan mountain range back then?

  After a moment of calm and contemplation, he lifted his head, a determined look on his face: "Huang, I've made up my mind. Let's set off for Kyoto immediately."

  Huang Tao heard this sentence from Leng Xiao Yao and exclaimed: "Young Master."

  "Let's not say anything more, my mind is made up. Brother Huang, since this matter doesn't involve the Emperor, then the Sword God won't take action against me. With Brother Pingfan by my side, what are you worried about?" Leng Xiao Yao directly cut off Huang Tao's words.

  "Alas!" Huang Tao heard what Leng Xiao Yao had said and sighed, saying: "Since the young master's mind is made up, then I also shouldn't say much more. However, I ask the young master to promise me one thing."

  "What's on your mind, Brother Huang? Just say it."

  Huang Tao gazed at Leng Xianyao for a moment before bowing and saying, "Please, Young Master, allow me to speak. In case something dangerous happens on our way back to the capital, I hope you will prioritize the bigger picture and not act impulsively. If anything were to happen to you, we, the Cold House guards, would be left without a leader, and the Cold House would have no future. I hope you won't take any reckless risks."

  He gave Huang Tao a cold and distant glance, but he could see that Huang Tao's words came from the heart, completely unlike the hypocritical words of those people in his own space. He stretched out both hands to help Huang Tao up, nodded heavily and said: "Brother Huang, I promise you, I will definitely keep this life and come back."

  "Thank you, young master."

  "Huang Da Ge, be on guard against the Fa Tang. During my time back in Kyoto, you should follow the training method I left for Ping and try to increase the combat strength of the Tian Jun Tuan. Once we have a certain level of strength, we will return to the flag of the Meng Hu Tuan." When Leng Xiao Yao mentioned the Meng Hu Tuan, Huang Tao's eyes flickered, filled with nostalgia.

  "Yes, young master." After a slight nod, Leng Xiao Yao called out to Ping Fan in the distance: "Ping Ge, call Liu Hao and the others over."

  The ordinary-looking man in the distance nodded slightly after hearing Leng Xiangyao's words, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from Leng Xiangyao's sight.

  After Fan Hong, Liu Hao and Wang Fu came one after another in front of Leng Xiao Yao, saying in unison: "Young Master."

  "Pack up your things and leave immediately."

  "What's going on?" Liu Hao and Wang Fu were taken aback, their faces filled with confusion.

  "Return to Kyoto." Leng Xiao Yao said calmly.

  "Yes, young master." Liu Hao and Wang Fu had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask out loud. They knew their status as subordinates was to do their own part well.

  "Drive!" A dozen or so top-notch war horses kicked up a cloud of dust as they galloped hastily towards the direction of Tian Long Kingdom.

  All that can be said about coffee has been said. Finally, I ask those of you with the financial means to please support the official version of this book, thank you for your coffee, monthly tickets, and everything else... If you want to know what happens next,
