Chapter 1387 Moon Shadow
Zhang Haiyue was a ruthless character. His arms were destroyed, and he did not curse Xiang Nan.
Zhang Haiyue was willing to admit defeat and become a king and defeat a bandit. He understood this ideal very well.
"Where is the little bird?" Xiang Nan asked.
As he spoke, Xiang Nan ordered Zhang Haiyue to open the storage ring and retrieve some things from it.
The Scarlet Dragon Sword Art's sword manual was there, but the hundreds of magic crystals were gone. In addition, there was a sheepskin scroll. On the cover of the scroll was a dragon. The words written on the scroll were strange words that Xiang Nan did not recognize.
Zhang Haiyue used his Dipper Qi to condense the shape of his arms and hands. He took out a message from his storage ring and sent it flying. He said to Xiang Nan, "Wait a moment. I will return your little demon pet to you, but it will take some time."
Xiang Nan's expression turned cold. "Why does it take time? Don't tell me you don't even know where the little bird is? Don't play tricks on me."
Zhang Haiyue said, "I really don't know. I gave your little bird to the other members for safekeeping. If I die, they will immediately kill your little bird."
"But in order to prevent me from being searched by others, I deliberately told them to put your little bird in a place that even I don't know about. This is for the sake of safety."
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Xiang Nan said.
Zhang Haiyue shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, because you have no other choice."
Xiang Nan asked, "What was the message you just sent?"
Zhang Haiyue said, "The group that brought the bird is moving at any time. They still have other tasks to complete, so if I want to find the bird, I have to establish contact with them first and wait for their reply."
Xiang Nan raised the sheepskin scroll and said, "What is written here?"
Zhang Haiyue said, "Yao Wen."
Xiang Nan frowned and said, "The demon race culture is highly unified with the human race. They are also using human characters. How can there be demon characters?"
Zhang Haiyue laughed, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are a person from this world. Before the demons learned culture from humans, they had their own demon characters."
"However, demon runes have already become the demon race's secret runes. Only the royal bloodline of the demon race and high-ranking figures can use them. Ordinary demons have indeed used human runes a long time ago."
Xiang Nan muttered, "So the words in this scroll are related to a conspiracy."
Zhang Haiyue said, "I'll tell you clearly, yes, but you don't have to ask what the plot is, because I won't tell you, it has nothing to do with the hatred between us."
Xiang Nan knew that if he continued to inquire, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with any results.
However, he was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that the Nature Sect had already begun to contact the demon race. What was the reason for that?
"How long will it take." Xiang Nan asked.
Zhang Haiyue said, "Depending on the situation, we still don't know where the members of that sect are. In short, just wait patiently."
Xiang Nan nodded, and then he placed his palm on Zhang Haiyue's chest.
"Do you still want to kill me?" Zhang Haiyue's expression changed.
Xiang Nan did not answer him.
But then, Zhang Haiyue suddenly stiffened. He felt a strange lightning power suddenly enter his body and lurk in his spiritual sea.
"What is this?" Zhang Haiyue panicked.
Xiang Nan said calmly, "I have transported a World Exterminating Divine Lightning into your body. If you leave me 50,000 kilometers away, or if I die, this Divine Lightning will lose control and immediately explode into pieces."
"You can control the World Exterminating Divine Lightning?" Zhang Haiyue sucked in a breath of cold air.
"It has nothing to do with you," Xiang Nan said. "Don't ask more if you shouldn't."
At first, Zhang Haiyue did not believe Xiang Nan's words. He quietly sensed it and revealed a look of despair.
Xiang Nan would not foolishly fall into a passive position unilaterally. Zhang Haiyue could threaten Xiang Nan with a little bird, and Xiang Nan could also threaten Zhang Haiyue with World Exterminating Divine Lightning.
The two of them found an inn to stay in, and in the blink of an eye, a day and night passed.
The next morning, Xiang Nan brought Zhang Haiyue to eat on the second floor of the inn.
With the sound of the stairs, a group of people dressed in ordinary people's clothing walked up. There were a total of fourteen to fifteen of them. They looked like herb farmers who had just returned from picking herbs from the forest.
However, Xiang Nan could tell at a glance that these people's footsteps were steady and did not have the feeling of emptiness that mortals felt when they walked.
However, if one were to carefully perceive them, they would not be able to sense their aura fluctuations.
The dozen or so people sat at the side table and looked towards Zhang Haiyue from time to time. Their gazes were focused on Zhang Haiyue.
"You're in big trouble." Zhang Haiyue smiled and said, "These people are here to kill me."
"Then you're in big trouble," Xiang Nan said.
Zhang Haiyue said, "You can't let me die, so you must drive them away, but they are from Moon Shadow."
Xiang Nan asked in a low voice, "Where did you come from?"
Zhang Haiyue gave a brief introduction. The four Human Emperors all had their own trusted forces, as well as their own personal forces.
Some people had followed the Mortal Emperor since they were born. They had stepped into the Martial Dao at the age of four. The cultivation methods and martial skills they cultivated were all personally taught by the Mortal Emperor, and the training they had received was also the most harsh.
These people would be thrown into dangerous areas around the world to survive. They would be thrown in at the age of eight and rescued at the age of twelve. Only then would those who were still alive be able to truly become trump cards.
Including endless forests.
Moon Shadow was such an organization, but it belonged to the Eastern Emperor's trump card army. It could be said that every one of them was an expert amongst experts.
Normal sects mainly relied on their masters to preach and disciples to cultivate, while these so-called trump cards used the dark forces to baptize and temper themselves in a cruel environment.
Their talent and realm might not be first-class, and some of them were even inferior to Zhang Haiyue, but their strength was also first-class. Every method they grasped was used to kill people.
At this time, the people from the Moon Shadow hadn't acted recklessly, but had instead used their observation to further confirm Zhang Haiyue's identity.
"Why the East Emperor?" Xiang Nanqi said.
He was in the Western Emperor Continent, so if there was a trump card army that wanted to assassinate Zhang Haiyue, it should be someone from the Western Emperor.
However, Zhang Haiyue only smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious enough?"
Xiang Nan suddenly said, "So you are a person from the Western Emperor Continent."
Zhang Haiyue must be the young master of a high-ranking figure in the Western Emperor Continent, which was why he was able to travel so freely in the Western Emperor Continent.
In that case, Xuan Qingzhu's actions should have been coordinated by Zhang Haiyue.
Isn't this equivalent to Zhang Haiyue betraying the Western Emperor Continent?
Before Xiang Nan could think too much, the person who had been in the Moon Shadow for more than a dozen years had already stood up.
"What did you do to the Eastern Emperor?" Xiang Nan asked in a deep voice, his right hand on the hilt of the saber.
Zhang Haiyue chuckled, "Something that the Eastern Emperor can't stand."
The Four Emperors had never interfered in the plans of the Nature Sect, but this time, the Eastern Emperor had personally sent Moon Shadow's men to the Western Emperor Continent to assassinate Zhang Haiyue.
Combined with the words that the black-robed man had said on the first night of the battle, Xiang Nan knew that the arrival of these people was very likely related to the five-meridian youths in the cage.
