Lianqi

Seeing that Xiao Chen was fine and conversing with the mysterious white-masked figure without any problems, the Crown Prince's residence's warriors launched another attack on the Flower of Sin assassins.

The one remaining blood mask assassin froze on the spot after seeing his partner with higher abilities than him being killed that easily. He wanted to run as far away from that place as possible now but he was worried that the white-robed figure would kill him when he tried to escape.

"Senior, can you help Sect Master Jiang?"

Xiao Chen pointed in one direction, Jiang Kun was overwhelmed by Hua Sha and High Priest Miao. The distance was quite far, even Lianqi had to squint to see the fight.

"You have good eyes..." Lianqi said slowly before shaking her head, "I can't, I just came to ensure your safety. Other problems are none of my business."

Xiao Chen became anxious, he could take care of himself quite well as long as he fully concentrated but he was worried for Jiang Kun's safety. At this time the Valley of the Hundred Swords still couldn't lose Jiang Kun, many enemies would attack the sect from all directions after knowing Jiang Kun was gone.

"You don't need to worry, not far behind me are three other warriors with high abilities heading to the Palace but it seems they ensured the Emperor's safety before coming here." Lianqi added.

According to Lianqi's narrative, the three warriors had strengths to match his and were on the side of the Han Empire. Xiao Chen guessed that Lianqi was referring to Fanzheng, Wushang and Sumei.

"Ah, just said… It's them." Lianqi pointed in one direction, and saw a middle-aged woman with a monk.

Xiao Chen could see that the staff that Sumei had brought was covered in blood, it seemed like the Crown Prince's residence wasn't the first location they had visited.

Fanzheng and Sumei didn't care about the gold or purple mask killers, they were looking for an opponent comparable to them.

"Senior please help our Sect Master!" Xiao Chen shouted loudly at the two as he pointed at Jiang Kun.

Fanzheng and Sumei both frowned seeing Xiao Chen in the middle of battle and covered in blood.

"Why does a child seem to be in the middle of this mess?" Sumei thought.

"Amitabha… What happened to this young man." Fanzheng looked worried.

"Brother Fanzheng, the child is in safe hands. It is Brother Jiang who needs our help."

Sumei understood that Fanzheng was from the Truth Light Temple and a monk had a wide compassion, naturally worrying about the safety of a kid like Xiao Chen in the midst of this massacre.

Unlike Fanzheng, Sumei looked at everything carefully. Sumei noticed the presence of Lianqi protecting Xiao Chen. Moreover, Sumei could see Xiao Chen was enveloped in a killing aura, Xiao Chen's clothes were indeed covered in blood but it was not his blood.

Fanzheng realized this when Sumei reminded him, now he felt that Xiao Chen was no ordinary child.

"This child… Does Elder Lin know of this child's abilities?" Sumei took one more look at Xiao Chen before leaving with Fanzheng to help Jiang Kun.

Sumei could remember Xiao Chen clearly because of Xiao Chen's special relationship with Lin Fan's grandson, Qiao Yu. Sumei already knew Xiao Chen was talented from the quality of his bones but seeing him kill like that at such a young age made Sumei a little disturbed.

Xiao Chen now breathed a sigh of relief, he was sure that Jiang Kun, who had the help of Fanzheng and Sumei, would be able to win his battle.

"Where are you going?"

Lianqi suddenly asked when she saw Xiao Chen intending to leave. Unlike Yuan Qianyu who respected Xiao Chen and addressed him as young master, Lianqi seemed to not care much about the mysterious background of Xiao Chen whom Yuan Qianyu referred to.

Xiao Chen guessed that Lianqi was someone born gifted, still quite young despite her ability to reach warrior king. Xiao Chen had heard that in the Tang Empire, it was not uncommon for someone to reach the level of a warrior king before the age of 30 as long as one had the talent and resources to back it up, perhaps Lianqi would be one of them.

"There are still a lot of assassins on the loose and I want to reduce their numbers as much as I can and save the surviving residents of this residence." Xiao Chen replied lightly.

Lianqi furrowed her brows, the culture and environment between the Tang and Han Empires were indeed very different. In the Tang Empire, the law of the jungle prevails and strength decides everything. Lianqi had been trying to become stronger all her life so as not to be bullied, her attitude towards Xiao Chen was something that was common in the Tang Empire, only those with ability earned respect.

Xiao Chen smiled at Lianqi before picking up a shuriken and starting to hunt down the other Flower of Sin assassins. Lianqi thought for a moment before eliminating one blood mask assassin near the two, then followed Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen moved agilely as he attacked every Flower of Sin assassin in sight using shurikens. Lianqi was slightly stunned by Xiao Chen's actions.

"I heard he hasn't even reached ten years old yet. He kills like a walk in the park… At his age, I wouldn't be able to do something like this." Lianqi didn't help Xiao Chen finish off the assassins but only observed Xiao Chen while making sure he was safe from threats.

Gradually growing feelings of awe and respect towards Xiao Chen by Lianqi, he could see that if Xiao Chen's growth was not hindered then the young man before her would become a great figure in the martial world. Not only in the Han Empire but also in the Tang Empire.

"Even in the Tang Empire it's hard to find a child as talented as him, for example there wouldn't be anyone his age who could kill without blinking." Lianqi originally thought that Xiao Chen's killing aura was obtained by scheming.

Lianqi could see that Xiao Chen did not have internal strength, so it was impossible to kill with his own ability, especially when the first time the two met, Xiao Chen was almost killed.

Lianqi thought Xiao Chen was only good at gathering information and even then because of the mysterious group behind him. After hearing Yuan Qianyu's story, Lianqi had thought that Xiao Chen was nothing more than a puppet of an organization but now he felt that his guess was wrong.

"Young Master will definitely like this child…" Lianqi thought with a chuckle.

Xiao Chen got goosebumps when he heard Lianqi laugh from behind, "What the hell? This woman laughed while watching me killing? I heard that there are many insane people in the Tang Empire martial world, it seems that this story has some truth to it…" Xiao Chen thought as he scratched his head.
