Chapter 4460: The Darkness of People’s Hearts

"I hope so." Chen Xiao took a long breath and said worriedly.

He knew that once the third prince's plan succeeded, he didn't know how many people would be killed or injured, especially Jingbian City, which would be in catastrophe and very dangerous.

But it seems that none of this is to blame on the third prince. It is the Black Sky Sect that is causing trouble, and it is Zhantian City that is helping Zhou to commit cruelty and turning a blind eye. If it really just sits back and watches the Black Sky Sect continue to grow, it will really cause endless harm.

"Next, I will have to rely on you more, Chen Xiao. Once everything is done, I will be grateful." The third prince said sincerely, clasping his fists.

"Since I promised you, I will stay with you until the end, and I will never break my promise to get rich." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, keeping his promise to the letter.

"Okay, I knew I was right about you."

"Um."

Almost at the same time, a haze of impending mountain rain floated over the entire Jingbian City, making people almost breathless.

On the city wall, several patrolling guards were whispering.

"Alas, this month's salary has actually dropped again. I didn't have a few pieces of immortal jade in the first place. Now it's better, but it's even worse."

One of the guards couldn't help complaining.

"Yes, since the third prince came, our salary has been reduced again and again. Now it is not even half of the previous one. It is too harsh. What does the third prince mean by this?"

Another guard was very angry.

Another guard sighed and said: "I originally thought that the third prince would be a good man who would kill Fan Ren and clean up the corruption in the border city, but who would have expected that our current treatment is not even as good as before. What do you call this?" What's the matter?"

"Hey, I heard that the third prince's shadow guards ransacked Fanhou's mansion and made a lot of profits. There were also other families, big and small. Where do you think these treasures went?"

One of the guards said something strange and had a certain meaning.

"Tch, do you need to guess? It must have gone into the third prince's own pocket. I have seen this kind of thing many times. He pretends to be a public servant for personal gain, using a high-sounding name, but actually doing dirty things, haha ”

One of the guards said with a sneer.

The guards on the side were a little unconvinced, "Is this possible? That is the third prince. It is said that the third prince is quite wise. He even killed Fan Ren and destroyed this evil thief who collaborated with the enemy. He is a good man."

"Tch, what do you know? These are just rumors and cannot be trusted."

"Really? It's incredible that the Third Prince is also such a person with a human face and a beast's heart."

"Knowing people but not their hearts, people's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows. I have never met the third prince, so who knows what he is like. But the immortal jade we got is less than half. This cannot be faked."

"right."

A group of guards gathered together, whispering and discussing, and there were more and more criticisms against the third prince.

At this time, a guard captain came over and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful I tear your mouths apart, go on patrol quickly."

The captain's eyes were very scary, red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

The guards were startled and fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

"Yes, I understand, Captain."

"Go quickly."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Immediately, everyone dispersed.

At the same moment, high up in the mountains and forests outside the city, two figures were looking down at the entire Jingbian City coldly, their eyes gloomy as they stared into the city.

The protector in black clothes wrapped himself tightly, revealing only a pair of strange green eyes.

"I heard that the third prince took the opportunity to kill Fan Ren and killed your daughter Li Ping'er. Her head was missing. Li Zhan, how can you bear it?"

The black-clothed protector looked at Li Zhan coldly and asked.

It turned out that these two people were actually the protector in black and Li Zhan, and they were plotting something here.

Li Zhan's eyes were blood red, he glared at the black-clothed protector, and cursed: "Naochao, you made the same mistake. You actually failed to kill this guy named Bloody Hand. It's really useless."

The two were tit for tat, teasing each other, with no intention of giving in, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

The black-clothed protector sneered and said: "The Soul-eating Demonic Insect tried and failed. This person is not simple. He is not so easy to deal with on the surface. It is very strange."

Hearing this, Li Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you know, this bloody hand is difficult to deal with, and he is now inseparable from the third prince. You ask me to take action? It's ridiculous."

Li Ping'er's death indeed made Li Zhan extremely angry, but it was not to the point where he wanted to fight the third prince to the death.

If he was really impulsive, couldn't hold back, and took action, the one who would benefit would be the black-clothed protector. At that time, he would really lose his wife and troops, and the loss would be huge.

Li Zhan is not stupid and would not do such a thing.

"Ha, so Li Ping'er's revenge will not be avenged? Li Zhan, when did you become so cowardly?"

The black-clothed protector said with provocative eyes.

Li Zhan glared at him and said coldly: "No matter how much you try to provoke me, it's useless. If I'm not completely sure, I will never take action easily. Don't forget, it's just a verbal agreement between us." , there is no binding force, you have no control over what I want to do.”

Li Zhan was very tough and fought back.

Trying to use Li Ping'er's death to force him to take action was a bit too naive, and he wasn't that stupid yet.

Besides, he had many daughters, and Li Ping'er was not outstanding. If she died, she would be dead, and it would be nothing.

Whether you call him callous or cold, Li Zhan doesn't care. Only he is the most important.

"Tsk, tsk, Li Zhan, you are really cold and ruthless, I can see it today."

The black-clothed protector sneered.

Li Zhan frowned and glanced at the other party, feeling a little impatient.

"So, you invited me here today just to provoke me and anger me?"

The black-clothed protector shook his head and asked, "What do you think of this Jingbian City? Can it be taken?"

Hearing this, Li Zhan was stunned, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Are you crazy? Do you really want to take action against Jingbian City? Huh, I won't agree. Are you stupid? You know it's a trap. You Do you have to step on it?”

"Whether it's a trap or not, you'll have to step on it to find out." The black-clothed protector sneered.

"Are you really crazy? Are the Black Sky Sect ready for an all-out war with the Wushuang Divine Dynasty?"

Li Zhan asked.

The black-clothed protector breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Yes, it has been two hundred years, and we are almost ready. It is also because of your blessing that we can grow so unscrupulously. Then the real chaos will begin. , don’t you look forward to it?”

"Are you crazy?"

Li Zhan became a little uneasy. For the first time, he felt that things were gradually getting out of his control and developing in an unpredictable direction.

"No, I'm not crazy."

The black-clothed protector smiled and narrowed his eyes.
