Chapter 1427: Father and Son Meet

Editor: Atlas Studios

The nest Jiang Guanchao mentioned was not in Japan, which was far away at sea, but the stronghold of the Japanese Assassins in the Great Zhou.

From the frequent appearance of the Japanese assassins here, it should be nearby.

The two of them had superb qinggong and steadily chased after that person without letting the other party discover them.

While the other party was resting, the two of them stopped under a big tree.

Jiang Guanchao said, “Let’s make it clear first. I’ll do it alone later. You and the child wait outside.”

“I know.”

Yun Shuang knew the difference between fighting a few Japanese assassins and dealing with a nest of Japanese assassins, so she did not insist on taking Wei Xiaobao into danger.

The two of them followed the person through two small villages and arrived at another town.

This town was not as prosperous as the previous town. There were almost no pedestrians left on the streets, most of the shops were closed, and there were no stalls.

That person entered a quiet inn.

Jiang Guanchao looked down at Wei Xiaobao in his arms and frowned, about to say something.

Yun Shuang spoke first. “Make a hole for her. She won’t scream.”

After realizing what Yun Shuang meant by making a hole, Jiang Guanchao looked at Yun Shuang skeptically.

Yun Shuang used her qinggong to fly to the roof.

Jiang Guanchao brought this little fellow up to the roof with a skeptical attitude.

Jiang Guanchao uncovered a tile and placed the little fellow in.

An unbelievable thing happened. Wei Xiaobao really did not make a sound.

Jiang Guanchao suspected that she was asleep and even lowered his head to look at her.

As Wei Xiaobao looked at the people in the room, her eyes were wide and her expression extremely serious.

Jiang Guanchao was speechless.

They could not expose too many tiles, or they would be easily discovered.

However, Wei Xiaobao alone occupied most of the small hole. Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao could only squeeze in.

Their heads almost touched.

Fortunately, the two of them were focused on the scene below.

There were a total of six Japanese assassins in the house. Four were standing, and two were sitting.

The latter’s status was different from the others.

They were speaking in the language of the Central Plains.

One of them had a capital accent, and the other had a lame Japanese accent.

Yun Shuang frowned. People from the capital?

Their conversation revealed a lot of information.

They came to the Great Zhou to capture a hundred babies born in August and bring them back to the Japanese Sea for sacrifice.

Yun Shuang asked with her eyes, “What is a sea sacrifice?”

Jiang Guanchao did not understand.

Yun Shuang took his uninjured hand and wrote on his palm.

Jiang Guanchao frowned.

Yun Shuang looked at him unwillingly and opened her palm.

Jiang Guanchao felt helpless and could only write on her palm with his cold fingertips. “It’s similar to using children to sacrifice to the river god. This group of Japanese assassins sacrifices to the sea god.”

In that case, this group of babies would be thrown into the sea alive after being captured back to Japan.

It was too inhumane!

The worship of the river god had been explicitly forbidden in the previous dynasty. If one was caught, he would be beheaded.

She did not expect this group of Japanese assassins to do such a thing.

What was even more abominable was that they actually came to the Central Plains to catch children.

Yun Shuang’s eyes turned cold.

Soon, she thought of something and wrote on Jiang Guanchao’s palm, “From Japan to the Central Plains, we will pass by Thousand Mountains Island. Could they have gone to Thousand Mountains Island to catch children?”

Jiang Guanchao wrote back, “I don’t think so. There are many experts on Thousand Mountain Island, so it’s not easy to succeed. Secondly, that young man with a capital accent deliberately lured this group of Japanese assassins to the Great Zhou to capture them.”

Soon, his guess was confirmed.

The middle-aged Japanese Killer said, “Our people died in the Wei family!”

The young man said, “I provided everything I could, including the topographic map of the Wei family. Moreover, I’ve advised you that the Wei family is not so easy to break into. You should have sent the most powerful assassins. Who can you blame if you let your guard down?”

The middle-aged man scolded, “Didn’t you say that the Central Plains is very safe? Qin Canglan isn’t here, and neither is Wei Xu. It’s very easy to catch children! However, only one of the people we sent out just now returned!”

The young man paused. “The Wei family members are all in the capital. There’s no reason for them to chase you to the town. Are you sure it’s not that your assassins are too weak?”

The Japanese assassins’ killing intent was wanton.

The young man looked unconcerned.

The middle-aged man said coldly, “You’d better not be lying that child of the Wei family has the emperor’s bloodline. Otherwise, you’ll die an ugly death!”

The young man smiled faintly and said, “The Wei family is the descendant of Emperor Wu. That child has the purest Emperor Phoenix blood and is the best sacrifice to the gods.”

Yun Shuang’s eyes turned cold.

This person knew the Wei family so well… Moreover, when he mentioned the Wei family, there was uncontrollable hatred in his tone.

Hadn’t all the enemies of the Wei family died?

Who was he?

The middle-aged man said to the young man, “The witch will personally come to the Great Zhou to welcome the Imperial Phoenix blood offered to the gods. If you are lying, your outcome will definitely be worse than death!”

The young man smiled politely and prepared to leave.

Jiang Guanchao prepared to attack.

Other than the six people in this room, there were more than ten in the other rooms. There were almost twenty Japanese assassins in total.

Yun Shuang wrote, “Can you do it?”

Jiang Guanchao wrote coldly, “Don’t casually say that men can’t do it.”

Yun Shuang retracted her hand and carried Wei Xiaobao over.

“Stay away from me later…”

Before Jiang Guanchao could finish, Yun Shuang had already disappeared with Wei Xiaobao in her arms.

Jiang Guanchao was an assassin, not a strategist. The most straightforward way for him to deal with the enemy was to kill.

Moreover, this group of Japanese assassins should be killed. Leaving them alive would only cause endless trouble in the future.

Jiang Guanchao broke through the roof with his sword and slashed at everyone in the house with lightning force.

This slash could split mountains and rivers, and shatter the universe!

The few Japanese assassins did not even have time to scream before they were sent flying with the ninja knives in their hands.

Two of them died on the spot. The other two broke the stone pillar outside the house and were pressed to the ground by the huge pillar.

The middle-aged man rushed out with a head of dust and looked at him coldly. “Who are you?!”

Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “A dead person has no right to ask my name.”

At this moment, the Japanese assassin who had deliberately been released by Jiang Guanchao spoke. “It’s him! He has another companion! It’s a woman in purple… Uh ah—”

Jiang Guanchao took his life.

The middle-aged man ordered in Japanese. Everyone used the Japanese secret technique and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Guanchao raised his hand and covered his eyes with a black headband.

He held the sword with one hand and captured almost inaudible movements in the wind.

A sword, a life.

The sword did not falter, and every move was fatal.

“If this isn’t an elite from the Central Plains… who is he?!”

The middle-aged man asked the young man angrily.

The young man’s eyes moved. “The leader of the Assassin Alliance, Jiang Guanchao.”

This name was like thunder. The middle-aged man’s expression changed when he heard this. He ordered in Japanese, “Retreat!”

Jiang Guanchao jumped onto the roof and stood under the dome. “Don’t even think about escaping.”

The most important aspect of the Japanese secret technique was qinggong. It could be said that all the Japanese assassins were qinggong experts.

However, no matter how hard they tried, Jiang Guanchao followed them like a shadow.

This could not go on.

If they were caught up, everyone would die!

The middle-aged man had a plan and spoke to one of his subordinates in Japanese.

The subordinate immediately stopped and bowed in the direction of his hometown. He turned around and pounced at Jiang Guanchao.

He was no match for Jiang Guanchao.

Jiang Guanchao quickly defeated him and caught up to the escaping group again.

Everyone got onto the cliff drawbridge.

The middle-aged man brought up the rear.

Suddenly, he turned around, pulled out his knife, and cut the suspension bridge.

The Japanese assassins were already prepared. The leader tied the rope to the tree opposite, and the others grabbed the long rope.

There was a knot at the end of the rope that was tied to the mechanism at the middle-aged man’s waist.

Jiang Guanchao was not so lucky.

He could either pounce over and grab the ropes of the Japanese assassins, but the price was that he would be pierced by the middle-aged man’s ninja knife.

Or he would grab the drawbridge on his end, but it was clearly too late.

He suddenly fell into the bottomless abyss and was greeted with the fate of meeting a hideous end.

Suddenly, an old hand grabbed his wrist tightly.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A violent wind blew.

Jiang Guanchao looked up and saw Elder Qiu’s face.
