Chapter 113: Shadow Thirteen Surrender

Translator: 549690339

“This blood-colored jade pendant is called the Dragon Blood Jade Pendant. 1 obtained it by chance.

Only after obtaining him would I feel at ease accepting assassination missions. At the very least, if 1 were discovered, 1 could still surrender.”Shadow Thirteen laughed.

“As for this Dragon Blood Jade Pendant, it’s rumored that it’s made from the blood of a dragon’s heart that’s above the level of a demon emperor.”

“In the records of Great Kun and Great Qian, only two pieces have appeared. This is the third piece.”

“Dragons are a race blessed by the heavens. A dragon blood jade pendant watered with the blood of the heart has the function of breaking the oath of heaven and earth.”

Hearing Shadow Thirteen’s words, Yang Chen smiled,””You’re really lucky to be able to find a national treasure like the dragon blood jade pendant.”

Seeing this, Ying Shisan revealed a flattering smile,” This lowly one’s luck has always been good, otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have had this opportunity to seek refuge with you.”

Yang Chen felt very uncomfortable when a killer was flattering him.” 1 still like your cold and heartless look from before. You should recover.””

Hearing this, Ying Shisan straightened his body and quickly put away the smile on his face.

“Then do you know why Great Kun’s King Ke wanted to assassinate me? I have never seen Prince Ke.”Yang Chen asked.

Chen Yang had never left Jiang Prefecture, so how could he have offended the Great Kun’s King Ke?

“The reason King Ke gave was to eliminate the geniuses of Da Qian.

However, 1 don’t believe this reason. There are so many geniuses in Da Qian, why would he target you?”

“That makes sense. Continue.”

Shadow Thirteen nodded and continued,” You know that 1 value my life. 1 must investigate the mission thoroughly before I can take action.”

“So, after my observation, 1 discovered that the Head Butler of the Ke Prince residence had come to your Nanyang County. As for who he looked for, 1 don’t know.”

“However, 1 am certain that it was the person that the Head Butler found who asked King Ke to assassinate you.”

Yang Chen remained silent.

In Nanyang County, only the Song family had conflicts with the Chen family.

But the problem was, what capital did the Song family have to make King Ke send assassins to assassinate him?

Could it be? The Song family betrayed the country?

It was not impossible, but there was still a problem. No matter how powerful an assassin was, there was still a possibility of failure.

Was it worth it to bear such a huge loss for the Song family?

For an assassin like Shadow Thirteen, the amount of resources he needed to nurture him would be enough to build an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family.

Or did Prince Ke have something that needed the Song family to do? And this was something that ordinary spies and death warriors couldn’t accomplish? After going through all the possibilities in his mind, Chen Yang looked at Shadow Thirteen,” Are you going to pledge your loyalty to my Chen Family?” As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, Shadow Thirteen quickly said,””I, Ying Shisan, swear an oath to the heavens and earth that I will be loyal to the Chen Clan for the rest of my life.”

Seeing this, Yang Chen nodded his head in satisfaction.” Alright, from today onwards, you will be called Chen Ying. You will enjoy the treatment of a first-class general of the Chen Family.””

“You should rest first. Reverend Dao Xuan is currently in seclusion. 1’11 undo the seal for you once he finishes his seclusion.”

“This subordinate will obey!” Chen Ying nodded and left with the guard.

After Chen Ying disappeared, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.” First Elder, let

Chen Xuan keep an eye on Chen Ying.””

“Staring at Chen Ying?” Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang with some doubt.” Family Head, he has already made a Heaven and Earth Oath. Why is he still so cautious?”

“I don’t believe that he still has the Dragon Blood Jade Pendant.”

“You believe whatever he says? The Dragon Blood Jade Pendant can solve the oath of heaven and earth, but do you know that nothing else can?”

“If only the dragon blood jade pendant could break the oath, the dragon race would have been destroyed by us humans long ago.”

“Moreover, Chen Ying is a person who values his life. He actually made a

Heaven and Earth Oath without even thinking about it.”

“This kind of sinister and life-cherishing fellow should be treated with caution.”Yang Chen explained.

Hearing Chen Yang’s explanation, Chen Xuan understood and immediately smiled,”That’s true. There’s no harm in being cautious.”

“Patriarch, how long do you plan to let Daoist Priest Dao Xuan enter seclusion?”

Daoist Priest Dao Xuan’s seclusion was completely made up by Chen Yang.

“Let’s see how he performs. I think he definitely knows something that we don’t. When he comes around and tells us everything he knows, we’ll untie him.”

“Compared to this, we have to investigate the Song family’s betrayal. If we have evidence, we can use the royal family to destroy the Song family.”

“With my relationship with the royal family, it’s not a problem for the Chen family to monopolize the Song family’s assets.”Yang Chen said.

“Understood.”

Jiang Zhou, Yi City, Deshun County Prince’s Mansion.

After a day of traveling, Zhou Yingde and the other two had successfully arrived.

After handing in the name cards, the Deshun Commandery Prince received the three of them in the reception hall.

“Seventh Great Uncle, long time no see. Your cultivation has become more profound.”Zhou Yingde sat on the chair respectfully and said with a face full of reverence.

In the entire royal family, Zhou Yingde admired the Deshun Commandery Prince the most. It was precisely because of this that their faction sent Zhou Yingde to rope in the Deshun Commandery Prince.

After hearing Zhou Yingde’s words, the Deshun Commandery Prince waved his hand. Immediately, a servant carried a plate of candied fruit and placed it on the tea table between Zhou Yingde and Zhou Yingmin.

“Come, have a taste. 1 remember that this was your favorite candied fruit when you were young.’The Deshun Commandery Prince laughed.

“I didn’t expect Seventh Granduncle to still remember our hobby.”Zhou Yingde smiled as he picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it into his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, Zhou Yingde’s eyes lit up.” The candied fruit here is so delicious. It’s much better than the ones specially provided by the royal family.” “Alright, brat, you don’t have to suck up to me in this place. My candied fruit is just an ordinary candied fruit. How can it be so delicious?”The Deshun Commandery Prince scolded with a smile.

“Alright, you can tell me why you’re here.”

When Zhou Yingde heard this, he gave Zhou Yingmin a look.

Zhou Yingmin left the reception hall and closed the door.

When there was no one else in the reception hall, Zhou Yingde said,””Seventh Granduncle, do you know why the demon tide in Jiang Prefecture happened?” “Isn’t it just Demon Monarch Scarlet Refining looking for trouble?”

“That’s not true. What Demon King Redrefinement said is true. Someone has indeed stolen his offspring, and that person is Zhou Yinglan.”Zhou Yingde said sternly,

“What did you say?” The Deshun Commandery Prince frowned.” The one who caused all of this was Zhou Yinglan? What proof do you have?”

“Zhou Ying Lan is in his residence, raising a Red Refined Python baby. And this python was the son of the red-skinned demon monarch.”

“Raising a Red Refined Python cub doesn’t prove anything.”The Deshun Commandery Prince was not in a hurry to believe Zhou Yingde.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingde said anxiously,”But the time that the red python cub appeared in the capital was about the same time that the red refinement demon king lost its offspring. How can there be such a coincidence?” “Furthermore, Zhou Yinglan obtained an ancient book from somewhere. It says that the Heavenly Poison Fire Gold can help the Red Refined Python break through to the Demon Sovereign realm.”

“Coincidentally, the fifth grade rare treasure that Prince De obtained ten years ago was the Sky Poison Fire Gold.”

“With so many things put together, can’t we prove that he stole the Red Refined Python?”

Hearing Zhou Yingde’s analysis, the Deshun Commandery Prince fell silent. He was starting to believe that so many things couldn’t be a coincidence.

“But so what? It had already happened, so it was useless to blame Zhou Yinglan. Furthermore, Zhou Yinglan’s Red Refined Python becoming a Demon Sovereign was also beneficial to Da Qian.”

Deshun Commandery Prince didn’t want to say anything more about this matter.

“I’m not saying that I want to pursue this matter. What I mean is that if he can abandon the people of a province for himself, will he abandon the Zhou clan one day?”

“Such a vicious and ruthless person, yet he still wants to fight for the position of Human King. If he really becomes the Human King, then what 1 said is no longer a guess.”

Zhou Yingde looked at the Deshun Commandery Prince worriedly.

“From what you’re saying, you want this king to stand on your big brother’s side and help him fight for the position of Human King?”The Deshun Commandery Prince looked at Zhou Yingde with a smile.

Being stared at by Deshun Commandery Prince, Zhou Yingde subconsciously wanted to escape.. However, when he thought of his goal, he braced himself and said,””For the sake of the Zhou clan, please help us, Seventh Granduncle!”
