127: His Royal Highness Prince An’s men!

However, just as the few of them were feeling smug, the private room door opened, revealing several figures outside.

“What the… who is it…?”

“Don’t you know I’m in here?!”

The opening of the door caught the attention of the people inside the private room.

Wu Yong, in particular, began to curse loudly.

However, when they saw the person standing at the very front—an alluring woman in a light pink dress—Wu Yong and the other four men immediately changed their expressions, their previous arrogant demeanor vanishing completely.

Nothing else, because this woman was none other than the owner of Baihua House.

The owner of Baihua House was not someone these small fries could afford to offend.

Even their Revered Master, Luo Jinghe, the Baidao Prefecture Tongpan, dared not be disrespectful in front of this person.

Simply because the owner of Baihua House had intricate connections with the Prefect.

However, before Wu Yong could even open his mouth to apologize, the owner of Baihua House stepped aside, revealing the figures of several men.

Under Wu Yong’s horrified gaze, the owner of Baihua House smiled ingratiatingly at the men who appeared at the doorway, saying, “Sirs, the people inside are Wu Yong and the others.”

“Please feel free, Sirs; this concubine will not disturb your affairs and will take her leave first.”

“You few, come out!”

Seeing this, Wu Yong and the others immediately lost their wicked desires; they all stood up, their faces extremely solemn.

And the women beside them also ran out of the private room one by one.

At this moment, Wu Yong clearly saw the clothes worn by the people outside.

Although the color of the brocade robes seemed different, they were all embroidered with the same pattern.

It was a black, profound Xuan Bird, embroidered right in the center of the brocade robe!

“Brother Yong, they are?”

“This is?”

A flash of lightning struck Wu Yong’s mind; he remembered what his Revered Master had once told him.

Within Baidao Prefecture City, there was a mysterious force whose members wore clothes embroidered with a black Xuan Bird.

They were an existence called the Blackbird Guard!

Anyone who encountered the Blackbird Guard must not obstruct, must not resist, or they would die!

Could they be the Blackbird Guard?

The humble demeanor of the Baihua House owner just now seemed to have already given Wu Yong the answer.

The people outside paid no attention to the panic-stricken expressions of Wu Yong and the others.

An old, strong voice sounded.

Although it was very soft, everyone in the private room could hear it clearly.

“Su An, is it them?”

“Replying to Revered Master, it is indeed them!”

“Very good!”

These dialogues caused cold sweat to stream down Wu Yong’s back, making him feel a chill, as if a great disaster was imminent.

“Sirs, may I ask who you are?”

“There must be some misunderstanding!”

“We are all people of the Tongpan.”

“I…”

To Wu Yong’s disappointment, however, after he spoke his Revered Master’s name, the other party remained completely unmoved.

The old man who spoke first earlier spoke again.

“Take them down!”

“Yes, Vice Envoy!”

This last statement made Wu Yong and the others turn pale; they all took out their weapons, attempting to resist the other party.

The next moment, what made them despair was that a man in a dark blue brocade robe walked into the private room with an expressionless face.

The man did not hesitate; powerful Blood Refinement Qi erupted from his body.

Wisps of steaming white Qi instantly swept through the entire private room, increasing the pressure on Wu Yong and the others, as if they were in a high-temperature furnace.

“A Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm!”

“This…”

To encounter a Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm right away, Wu Yong and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

What was there to fight!

What terrified Wu Yong even more was that this Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm was still the subordinate of the other party.

…Did I break a heavenly rule?

These terrifying people in front of him, let alone him, even his own Revered Master, would have to surrender!

“Misunderstanding, I…”

…

Blackbird Guard Mansion!

“Mystic Envoy, these few are the ones Luo Jinghe sent to Qingyun County to investigate County Lieutenant Huang Yangping’s death.”

In the main hall, Vice Envoy He Yan respectfully saluted the person in front of him.

Beside Vice Envoy He Yan, five men were kneeling on the ground.

Their entire bodies were bound by specially made ropes, and their mouths were gagged with thick cloth.

And these five people were Wu Yong and his companions!

When Wu Yong and the others saw this mysterious old man so respectfully saluting the figure in front of them, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Wu Yong stared intently at the figure in front of him.

It was a man who appeared tall and slender, yet also robust and imposing, as stable as a mountain.

The man wore a black Xuan robe, his thick black hair neatly tied back, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of majestic mystery.

“Hmm!”

Lu Xuan responded to Vice Envoy He Yan as he turned around.

As Lu Xuan looked at Wu Yong and the others, Wu Yong and they were also looking at Lu Xuan.

What a young and handsome man!

This was the first impression of Wu Yong and the others.

Moreover, he was a man Wu Yong and the others had never seen before.

According to the old man’s words, their presence here today was at the behest of this young man.

As Wu Yong and the others were bewildered, a transparent stream of Gale Force shot out from Lu Xuan, piercing through the Void Realm, and striking Wu Yong and the others.

The thick cloth tied over the mouths of Wu Yong and the others was instantly cut, as if by a sharp blade, and fell to the ground.

“Tell Envoy the results of your investigation into County Lieutenant Huang Yangping’s death in Qingyun County.”

Lu Xuan’s words terrified the five of them.

So it was for that matter?

“It’s a misunderstanding, Sir, we were just working for the Tongpan, we don’t know anything!”

Seeing this, Lu Xuan remained calm.

The next moment, Lu Xuan gave He Yan a look, signaling him to take these five people away for severe interrogation.

“Deputy Envoy He, interrogate these five separately.”

“Envoy wants to know the correct results.”

He Yan understood Lu Xuan’s meaning and said towards the outside.

“Yes, Mystic Envoy!”

“Su An, take them down for interrogation.”

It wasn’t until those few were dragged away that He Yan hesitated repeatedly, but still spoke to Lu Xuan.

“Mystic Envoy, Luo Jinghe’s identity is somewhat special!”

Seeing He Yan’s cautious demeanor, Lu Xuan felt a little surprised.

“Hmm?”

“Speak!”

After receiving Lu Xuan’s affirmation, He Yan slowly began to speak.

“Luo Jinghe’s father, Luo Wen, is Prince An’s man, Prince An’s Revered Master.”

Lu Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly; he didn’t know who this Prince An was.

“Prince An?”

However, to have the title of Prince, and to make He Yan so cautious, he must be an extraordinary figure.
