Chapter 32 Izumo Empire Dark Cloud Guards

Why do the Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist always maintain the number of nine people?

Why don't the Nine Thieves of Phantom Fog develop offline and gather manpower?

Why can the nine thieves of the Phantom Mist come and go freely in the Phantom Mist Mountains without being affected.

Why were the Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist able to escape the official suppression of the Jiama Empire many times?

There are more reasons, and Zhang Yuan got the answer at this moment.

"What a big surprise."

The nine thieves of the Phantom Mist are not ordinary people, but the Dark Cloud Guards of the Izumo Empire!

The Dark Cloud Guard is a special organization directly affiliated with the royal family of the Izumo Empire. It is somewhat similar to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty during the Earth Period, but it focuses more on assassinations and gathering intelligence.

The Dark Cloud Guards collect orphans from the Izumo Empire, use the method of cultivating gu to select a group of more talented ones, and then train them to a high standard. The official members at least have the strength of a fighting master and only obey the emperor's orders.

The frontier of the Izumo Empire borders the Northeastern Province of the Gama Empire. Both countries will deploy spies to collect intelligence on the other country, so the Emperor of the Izumo Empire noticed the Phantom Mist Mountains in the Northeastern Province.

It is not unusual for a mountain range to be shrouded in fog all year round, but if this fog can cause hallucinations and even the powerful Dou Wang might fall into the trap, it would be unusual, especially in the eyes of a group of poison masters.

In fact, after the appearance of the phantom mist, the Jiama Empire royal family, the Yunlan Sect, the Alchemist Guild and other forces, as well as some powerful people, did not explore it, but they all failed to gain anything and finally chose to give up.

The Emperor of the Izumo Empire noticed the Magic Mist Mountains and was interested in exploring it, but it was impossible for him to send strong men to search with great fanfare, so he sent nine Dark Cloud Guards to sneak into the Gama Empire and conduct investigations in the Magic Mist Mountains.

As a dark cloud guard trained by the Izumo Empire, he has grown up in a heap of poison since he was a child. In addition, he has learned special techniques and has strong resistance to phantom fog. He will be fine in non-core areas of the phantom fog mountain range. So they come and go as they please, rooted in it.

As for why the number of people is nine, it is because they have practiced a formation called "Nine Palaces Xuanshui Formation", and combined with the Four-Element Underworld Turtle Bead (the fourth-level magic beast Water Underworld Turtle may give birth to one in its lifetime), they can square the circle. Exploring ten miles away, they could discover Dou Ling and Dou Wang strong men in advance and hide them when they were surrounded.

It is difficult to hide in large numbers, it is also redundant for formations, and it is easy to attract attention and expose their identities, so they always maintain this number, and do not go offline in the development of the Gama Empire, and collude with some families. Once the number of people is reduced, they will also be exposed to the enemy. The royal family of the Izumo Empire asked for orders to send more people.

Being bandits is also a disguise for them. At the same time, they use the good time and place to snatch resources for their own use. If they hadn't met Zhang Yuan, their plan would have gone smoothly. There have been no mistakes for more than ten years. The remaining nine people are still alive. The three of them have also grown into great fighting masters, and Senmarong is only one step away from being a fighting spirit.

"After more than ten years of investigation, they have identified several locations where the treasure may be found. This good thing must not be cheap to others. Only I know the news. I will investigate again when I am strong enough."

"The nine thieves of the Phantom Mist have become the nine Dark Cloud Guards of the Izumo Empire. This has a completely different meaning. The Gallet family and the Oba family did not violate the laws of the empire, but committed treason and rebellion."

"."

His eyes flickered, and Zhang Yuan quickly had an idea.

He squatted down again, put a hand on Sen Mayong, and said with a smile: "That's a good answer. I'll give you a reward."

After saying that, he injected the strange fire again.

"Ah!" Sen Mayong screamed miserably.

Dark Ling Ying:? ? ?

After a few dozen breaths, Zhang Yuan took his hand back and said with a smile: "This is four times the pain, what do you think?"

"Devil, you are a devil, I have told you everything I know." Sen Mayong gasped and said in a hoarse voice, with despair and fear in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan's smile did not change and he said: "I have no doubt that you are lying to me. I let you experience four times the pain because I am afraid that you will forget the feeling that life was worse than death just now. I will help you recall it because I need you to cooperate with me to do something."

"You said, I will agree to anything." Sen Mayong's eyes flashed with hope, and he said, "As long as you give me a pleasure."

What he wants is not to live, but to die quickly and happily.

"Simple, wait for you"

Zhang Yuan explained something to Senmarong, and then asked: "Do you remember it?"

"Remember." Sen Mayong said with a cry.

He agreed 100% to this little thing, so why on earth should he have to go through more pain.

"I hope you will do what you say, otherwise I will pay you ten times as much next time, and it will take a long time." Zhang Yuan's voice appeared in Sen Mayong's ears, like a devil's whisper.

Then, he picked up Senmayong, turned into wings again, and flew in the direction he came from. He waited until he landed at a similar place, and then walked back to the position where he was ambushed.

"Captain, all the heads of the nine Phantom Mist thieves have been taken." Ye Ya and other personal guards came up immediately to recover.

The Dark Cloud Guards are the dead soldiers of the Izumo Empire royal family. They either fight until the last moment and self-destruct, or they commit suicide by directly activating the poison in their bodies after being captured.

Except for Sen Mayong, only one other great fighting master is still alive because he was knocked unconscious by Zhang Yuan. The remaining seven and Galebibi only have their heads left, which need to be taken back for identification and transformation into meritorious deeds.

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and handed Senma Rong over to Ye Ya's charge. Then he came to the unconscious great Dou Master, first injected strange fire to control his Dou Jing, and then woke him up.

Seeing Zhang Yuan, the man immediately tried to blow himself up and commit suicide, but found that he had lost control of his body.

"I need you to answer my question, and I'll give you a treat after you answer it." Zhang Yuan said.

"Bah!" The great fighting master sneered: "You little bastard from the Jiama Empire, don't have your own whims. I don't know a single word, otherwise my surname would not be Ruchuan."

"." Hearing these somewhat familiar words, Senmarong's eyes showed sympathy and joy.

Finally, he wasn't the only one suffering from the demon's beatings.

Ling Ying in the darkness: "."

Everyone in the Izumo Empire plays drugs, could it affect their brains?

"That's a good answer." Zhang Yuan smiled, mentioned the great fighting master and left.

After about half a stick of incense, he took the person back and threw him beside Sen Mayong.

The two of them looked at each other, feeling like they were in the same boat and wanted to cry.

"The interrogation begins now."

Zhang Yuan called Xiao Boyuan over, his expression became serious, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"

"Izumo Empire Dark Cloud Guards." The two men answered neatly, as if they had been trained.

And their answers made Lin Zhengqing, Gu Ni and others' expressions change drastically.

The Nine Phantom Mist Thieves actually came from the Izumo Empire, and they were also Dark Cloud Guards directly affiliated with the royal family! ?

"What's the purpose of coming here?" Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

"Influence the development of the northeastern province of the Gama Empire, secretly collect information, and create favorable conditions for the empire to send troops in the future. However, because the emperor is seriously ill, it is only an introduction and intelligence collection for the time being." Senmarong replied.

"Why did you come to ambush me?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Because our secret agent asked us to take action to get rid of you." Another great fighter said: "They are the Jialie family and the Oba family from Wutan City. They regularly transport supplies to us in the form of plunder. We are here There are several strongholds in the mountains, and a lot of supplies are piled there, you can confirm."

Zhang Yuan nodded, and then said to Ye Ya: "Tie them up and take them back to the military camp."

With that, he sent a message to the two of them: "You will die on the way. Don't worry, I won't break my promise."

Then he looked at Lin Zhengqing and Master Gu Ni and said: "Master Gu Ni, please go back and inform my uncle. Tell him to stand still. City Lord Lin, please follow me to Qingyun Town."

Lin Zhengqing and Gu Ni looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The sky in Wutan City is about to completely change!
