Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 595: Two Choices

"Enough with the nonsense. Recently, the Slaughter Emperor Sect has been continuously assassinating city lords, and several cities have already been taken over by them."

"Have you heard any news here?"

Zhuge Yun, on behalf of Chu Nan, immediately inquired of the Luo Chi City Lord.

The Luo Chi City Lord looked around to see too many onlookers and said, "Honored envoys, this matter is not suitable to discuss here. Let’s head to the City Lord’s Mansion, where I can properly host you and offer my hospitality."

Zhuge Yun didn’t agree immediately but looked at Chu Nan.

Seeing Chu Nan nod slightly, he then said, "Alright, lead the way."

After all, Zhuge Yun is a Sixth Heaven elite, having held a high position for many years and naturally wouldn’t stand on ceremony with these city lords.

From his status, even talking closely with a city lord is a rare fortune for them.

Thus, surrounded by onlookers, Chu Nan and Zhuge Yun strode grandly towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Along the way, Chu Nan remained vigilant, his powerful spiritual sense sweeping around, probing every corner of the area.

The Slaughter Emperor Sect is different from other forces, being a pure assassin organization.

Several of its members are Ninth Heaven cultivators, skilled in stealthy assassination, considered virtually indefensible, where a single slip could be fatal.

After all, once these assassins make a move, it’s often a lethal attack!

Even when facing opponents stronger than themselves, they might still manage to slay them.

Soon, they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, where the Luo Chi City Lord, while arranging a banquet, said, "It’s truly my honor to have you two here from afar."

"Please, whatever requests you have, just let me know, and I’ll do my utmost to oblige."

The Luo Chi City Lord maintained his utmost courtesy and diligence.

Zhuge Yun thoroughly enjoyed such attention, which was rare for him in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, where he had to listen to Kuhu, and even outside, he had to obey Chu Nan.

This feeling of being flattered made him very comfortable.

However, Chu Nan indifferently replied, "No need. We just want to know whether you have any information about the Slaughter Emperor Sect."

The Luo Chi City Lord led them to the main hall, dismissed everyone else, and then said, "You two have arrived just in time. Indeed, Luo Chi City is under the threat of the Slaughter Emperor Sect. Ever since the Ninth Hall Master fell, the sect has been eager to make a move."

"Just a few days ago, they even sent someone to assassinate me. If it wasn’t for my good luck, I might have been killed."

At this point, the Luo Chi City Lord looked furious and said, "With you two esteemed envoys here now, the assassins of the Slaughter Emperor Sect certainly wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. With your presence, I can rest easy~"

Zhuge Yun couldn’t help but chuckle softly at this and said, "Rest assured, City Lord, if the Slaughter Emperor Sect people dare to come, we will ensure they have no way of returning."

Zhuge Yun was very confident. He is a Sixth Heaven Martial Artist, and Chu Nan is even more formidable, not even the Seventh Heaven could trouble him.

In his view, resolving the crisis of nearby cities and driving away the assassins of the Slaughter Emperor Sect was nothing but a simple task!

As they spoke, the banquet was already set, though it couldn’t compare to Qin Kingdom, the dishes on the table were rare in Nanmo City.

The Luo Chi City Lord enthusiastically said, "Honored envoys, please look; these are the most cherished ingredients in the City Lord’s Mansion, a bite of which could be remembered for a lifetime."

"Every one of them is a rare delicacy in Nanmo~"

While saying this, the Luo Chi City Lord poured wine for the two, and before Chu Nan and Zhuge Yun sat down, he dared not even sit himself. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Good. Seeing your sincerity, I’ll make sure to look out for you when I return to the Holy Hall," Zhuge Yun chuckled, then took his seat.

The Luo Chi City Lord then looked at Chu Nan and said, "Honored envoy, why don’t you take a seat? Is it because the dishes are not to your liking?"

Chu Nan shook his head at this, then said, "Not really. It’s just that I haven’t had good food in a long time."

"I’m merely concerned that if we eat these dishes, we might not see tomorrow’s sun."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yun immediately stood up, stood by Chu Nan’s side, and stared vigilantly at the Luo Chi City Lord.

The flattery on the Luo Chi City Lord’s face vanished, his expression becoming serious as he said, "You must be joking, honored envoy. I sincerely prepared this dinner for you both, why would you suspect me of ill intent?"

Chu Nan remained calm in his demeanor, placidly pointing out, "The fall of the Ninth Hall Master was only spread within the Desolate Ancient City. How did you, being thousands of miles away, know that Hai Wujie died?"

The Luo Chi City Lord, hearing this, gave a bitter smile and put down the wine jug in his hand.

He slowly straightened his body, then said, "Didn’t think I’d miss a detail. I underestimated you!"

Zhuge Yun’s heart jolted with surprise. He hadn’t seen any issues with this Luo Chi City Lord.

The scene before him left him astounded. Was it the strength of the opponent’s disguise, or was Chu Nan’s perception just too terrifying?

Chu Nan, however, said, "Even without the later talk, I already knew you’re not the Luo Chi City Lord."

"Because my spiritual sense is strong enough, your secrets are completely exposed to me!"

Even after being seen through, the Luo Chi City Lord didn’t panic. On the contrary, he seemed more composed, believing that as long as Chu Nan and Zhuge Yun entered the City Lord’s Mansion, they were like turtles in a jar, with no way to make any waves.

The original Luo Chi City Lord had long been killed, and now, everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion were Slaughter Emperor Sect’s assassins.

Thus, he sneered and said, "What if you see through it? The City Lord’s Mansion is firmly controlled by my people, not even a fly can escape."

"You have only two choices now: submit or die!"

The Luo Chi City Lord was full of confidence but still puzzled inside; he couldn’t understand why the two in front of him remained so calm even on the brink of death.

"Your people? Are you referring to them?" Chu Nan’s gaze rested outside the hall, where a blood-colored figure fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The Luo Chi City Lord frowned slightly, instinctively turning to look, only to widen his eyes instantly, shocked and pale, saying, "This... how is this possible!"

Outside the hall stood a blood-colored Spirit Corpse holding several blood-dripping heads, emitting a terrifying killing intent that would suffocate even a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist.

From the moment they entered the City Lord’s Mansion, Chu Nan had already detected it was occupied by the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion were assassins of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, so he quietly released a Blood Corpse to kill these sect members.

With the Blood Corpse, which was comparable to a Seventh Heaven Martial Artist, who could stop it in the City Lord’s Mansion?

A group of bloodthirsty killers who love blood sacrifices – Chu Nan felt no pressure letting the Blood Corpse handle them.

The Luo Chi City Lord was trembling all over; even a fool would know by now they had hit a solid wall. In shock, he asked, "Who are you, really?"

"Hai Wujie is dead, and I, Zhao Shibang, am the new Hall Master of the Ninth Hall," Chu Nan slowly stood, approaching the Luo Chi City Lord, and said, "As for you, you now have two choices: submission or death!"
