Chapter 22: The Dark Emperor

The so-called secret code means that whenever I mention a secret code, you must listen to me. Even if you are unwilling to do something, you must follow my instructions. Otherwise, I will come back and tell the master that you won't listen to me, "Zhong Shan said seriously.

What's so fun about this? Don't come, don't come, "Tian Ling'er immediately said with a reluctant expression.

No, this matter must be agreed upon in advance. If what I want you to do is wrong, you can inform the sect leader. Even if the sect leader punishes me, I will admit it. However, if you don't agree to me, we won't go out, "Zhong Shan said seriously.

Well, okay, okay, it's so verbose. I'll listen to you, "Tian Ling'er said reluctantly.

Looking at Tian Ling'er's expression, Zhong Shan smiled slightly. She really has a temper as a young lady.

Find someone who is more unconventional. Hmm, if you like to eat 'osmanthus cake', then use 'osmanthus cake' as a secret code. As long as I say 'osmanthus cake', it means I am very serious. You must listen to me, must, must, "Zhong Shan said solemnly.

Okay, okay, osmanthus cake, hehe! "Tian Ling'er laughed at this secret code. Where is this kind of secret code?

Okay, since that's the case, please wait a moment. I've picked up my luggage and let's go together, "Zhong Shan nodded and said.

After speaking, Zhongshan entered the room and took out a huge bundle, weighing fifty pounds. Alright, let's go, "said Zhongshan with a big knife while carrying his backpack

Give it to me, put it in my storage bracelet. You look tired, "Tian Ling'er smiled.

Zhongshan didn't show any affectation and gave her the package directly, with only a big knife in his hand.

Alas, my red silk is only second grade and can only take me alone. You can use your chasing boots, let's go quickly together, "said Tianlinger.

Good "Zhong Shan carried a big knife, and with a stroke of true energy, he quickly shot in one direction.

Tianling stepped on a piece of red silk and kept flying along, ready to go out. Tianling was extremely happy in her heart.

Tian Ling'er recognized the way out of the mountains and quickly led Zhong Shan to bypass the formation and leave Kaiyang Sect.

After leaving Kaiyang Sect, Zhongshan looked at the small thatched cottage and sighed in his heart, realizing that he was also a member of the Immortal Sect.

Zhongshan did not go to greet the 'guardian of the mountain' inside the thatched cottage, but instead took Tianling and quickly galloped in a direction.

When he arrived, it took him several months to leave the mountain. Zhong Shan believed that with his current speed and wind chasing boots, he could arrive at his estate in no more than fifteen days.

After running in the mountains for a day, when it got dark, both of them were a bit tired and found a place with a good environment. In the bundle, take out two hammocks, tie them to a tall tree, and sprinkle some medicinal herbs to prevent poisonous insects on the branches.

Alright, I'll sleep on this place tonight, "Zhong Shan turned to Tian Ling'er and said.

Looking at the big net between the two trees, Tianling's eyes were filled with small stars. Looking at Zhongshan, a hint of excitement flashed through her eyes.

Zhongshan, this is amazing. How did you come up with it? "Tian Ling'er immediately flew onto one of the hammocks and lay on it, twisting and swaying inside excitedly.

Watching Tianling's lively and innocent appearance, Zhongshan shook his head and didn't say much. He just jumped up a few times and got into his hammock.

Alright, look at the stars, I'll go to sleep first, "said Zhongshan.

Lying on the hammock, looking at the stars all over the sky and listening to the chirping of small insects in the forest, Tianling was in a state of excitement, obviously going to sleep for a long time.

On the same dark day, in the Great Kun Kingdom, inside the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Shan sat cross legged in the house.

Gently, Hidden Body Zhongshan stood up. Grab a small notebook from the table next to you. On top of the booklet, there is written 'The Secret Attack Skill'. It was not long ago that the main body was seen in the Kaiyang Sect Sutra Pavilion, and at the same time, within the secret attack technique, there was also a portrait of Haosan.

Grasping the secret attack technique, the hidden body swayed slightly and turned into a black shadow. Then, it truly transformed into a shadow. In this dark night, it passed through the door crack as thin as paper, crawled out, and under the moonlight, a black shadow galloped rapidly across the earth. Fast as a ghost, disappearing in a flash.

Hidden body, different from the main body, has an exceptionally excellent physique. The Tai Yin Manual has a very fast cultivation speed. As long as the main body breaks through, the hidden body will immediately break through, which is also a major limitation of the hidden body. Now, Zhongshan's hidden body has the third highest innate strength.

An hour later. A black shadow entered a valley, where there were numerous houses and extremely hidden structures.

Zhongshan Black Shadow headed straight to the central hall. On the plaque in the hall, there are three black words' Dark Night Hall 'written.

Dark Night Hall, the Great Kun Kingdom, and the nightmare of high-ranking officials from five other surrounding countries. The most powerful Assassin's Club. There are countless internal assassins with terrifying strength, and their cultivation level has reached the tenth level of the day after tomorrow. Legend has it that even innate strong individuals exist within the organization. So, in all six countries, it's a term that makes people feel scared to talk.

At the entrance of the Dark Night Hall, Zhongshan suddenly showed his figure. Step by step towards the interior.

Internally, there is only one person, a person holding a lamp and looking at a large map.

Zhongshan came in, but this person surprisingly didn't notice.

Who? "Finally, as Zhongshan entered the hall, the person became alert and turned around, spitting out a thin sword in their hand.

Waiting to see someone coming. This person's heart relaxed.

He is a man of about fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance, the kind that cannot be found in a crowd.

Master, "the person said respectfully upon seeing Zhongshan.

Alas, Dark Emperor, I have told you many times that we can be brothers. Why do you have to be like this? And you have already reached the innate level, but you do not want to enter the immortal gate selection. This is too unfair to you, "Zhong Shan shook his head and said.

Master, the life of the Dark Emperor was saved by the Master. The hatred of the clan, parents, wives, and children was also avenged because of the Master. The Dark Emperor has sworn to be loyal to the Master for the rest of his life, without any complaints or unfair treatment. "The Dark Emperor respectfully said.

You are now the Lord of the Dark Night Hall, a member of many noble families and royal families, who have heard of your coldness, "Zhongshan shook his head and smiled.

Everything is because of the master, the Dark Emperor has come to this day. The Dark Night Hall will always be loyal to the master, "the Dark Emperor immediately said.

Well, I won't say much more. Your master keeps calling, and I feel uncomfortable listening. You can continue practicing this innate technique, "Zhong Shan handed the booklet to the Dark Emperor.

Innate martial arts? "Exclaimed the Dark Emperor in surprise.

Gently taking it, the three words' Assault Skill 'were written on it.

I have also practiced the innate technique now, which is different from yours. Your book is also a top-notch innate technique, with ten levels in total. You can cultivate it to the Golden Elixir stage. If you work hard and reach the Golden Elixir stage in the future, I will find it for you again, "Zhong Shan looked at the Dark Emperor seriously and said.

Yes, I will definitely cultivate myself well and also train the best assassins for my master, "the Dark Emperor respectfully said.

By the way, in the secret attack technique, there is a portrait mixed in. He is a born expert who searches everywhere for me, regardless of life or death. If you find someone, you don't need to take action. Just notify me, "Zhong Shan said.

Yes, I will do my best to search for this person, "the Dark Emperor bowed and said.

Okay, okay, I'll go now. You can take your time and get busy, "Zhong Shan shook his head and said.

Then, Zhong Shan slowly walked out, out of the Dark Emperor's sight, turned into a shadow, and quickly returned the same way.

As he looked at the 'Dark Attack Skill' in his hand, the Dark Emperor sighed and at the same time, his eyes became resolute as he looked towards the place where Zhongshan had disappeared.

Zhong Shan woke up the next day when it didn't light up. Looking at Tian Ling'er, who had been excited for most of the night before falling asleep, Zhong Shan didn't go to wake her up. But instead, he put away his hammock, held a big knife, and practiced his swordsmanship not far away.

Strike the Tianshan Mountains! kill all!

To practice on a large stone, what Zhong Shan needs to do is to cut open the stone like tofu, and use his touch to identify its weaknesses.

It was only Zhongshan who had such an imagination. Even the people who created the knife technique did not have the terrifying idea of Zhongshan, right? Even wood patterns are fine. This stone can find the weakness of patterns?

Zhongshan practiced for an hour before resting, and quickly crossed his knees to perform exercises.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er also woke up. When she woke up, she saw Zhong Shan working hard to cultivate there. Tian Ling'er felt ashamed because Tian Ling'er's bones were exactly the opposite of Zhong Shan's. Tian Ling'er's bones were so good that she didn't work very hard and could cultivate faster than ordinary people.

In this barren land, Zhongshan didn't dare to immerse himself for long, just summarizing his previous insights on chopping stones.

Gently opening her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Tian Ling'er's sparkling big eyes. The morning sun shone on Tian Ling'er's porcelain like face, making her look like a shining and perfect artwork.
