At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Yun Zhi gritted his teeth and looked at the fleeing horse. In the end, he chose to believe Lin Chen's judgment and stayed where he was.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at her, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he really didn't need to be afraid of the other party, Yun Zhi was the king of a country after all, and he didn't want her to get into trouble.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at the dense forest behind him, his eyes sharp, like a blade, and said coldly: "Since you have been following us for a whole day, why are you hiding now? Get out! Otherwise, I will let it die without a burial place!"

The words were cold and murderous.

"Crack--"

With Lin Chen's shout, the branches shook, making a harsh friction sound. Soon, three warriors wearing black robes and cloaks appeared out of thin air and floated in the air.

They were thin, short, fat, dark-skinned, and looked like monkeys.

The clothes on the three people were embroidered with golden dragon patterns.

"Golden Guards!" Yun Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

The Golden Guard is the top power of the Southern Xinjiang Dynasty. Apart from the royal family, only those who have made great contributions or are highly respected can join the Golden Guard.

It is said that every member of the Golden Guard is a warrior in the Guixu Realm!

"Haha! Not bad, you can recognize the Golden Guard logo, you have some knowledge."

The short warrior stared at Lin Chen coldly, his eyes full of jealousy, "Boy, who are you? You dare to hurt our Golden Guard leader. You are tired of living! If you know what's good for you, explain it clearly to avoid physical pain."

"Oh? Are you talking about Commander Zhu? Did he offend you? If so, I am willing to take responsibility for him. As for this matter, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Golden Guard would come to ask for punishment. However, he was not afraid, but laughed jokingly.

"Hey, you are so straightforward. Don't you want to know who sent us?"

The three warriors looked at Lin Chen in surprise. They obviously didn't expect Lin Chen to surrender so easily, but it was normal. After all, in their opinion, a person in the early stage of Guixu was not worth mentioning at all.

"Which force are you from?" Lin Chen said lightly.

One of them said, "It's okay to tell you. We are from Xuanming Palace. We are here to take your life today."

Swish!

When Lin Chen appeared again, he was already beside him, holding his neck with his right hand and lifting him up!

The other two Golden Guards were shocked and shocked. They understood that Lin Chen was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He didn't show much strength just now. Now he really took action.

Puff!

Lin Chen chopped his throat with a palm, and the man died instantly.

"You!"

The remaining Golden Guards changed their faces. They didn't expect that the other party would kill one of them directly without saying a word.

This man's speed is simply terrifying!

The next second, his pupils shrank suddenly, because he had been pinched by Lin Chen's throat and lifted up. His throat was pinched by Lin Chen's fingers, just like a toy doll.

Crack!

Lin Chen slapped his head with a palm, and the Golden Guard was killed directly.

"Good tricks, benefactor!"

Queen Yunzhi couldn't help but admire. Lin Chen's move was beyond her expectations, but it also stimulated the warlike gene in her body. A bloodthirsty light appeared on her face. She licked her lips and said, "Benefactor, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Lin Chen's face was more solemn than ever before, because just now, he suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying breath approaching and flying towards this side.

His soul power covers a range of one kilometer, and the other party has been captured by him as soon as he approached.

The terrifying breath is getting closer and closer, even making Lin Chen alert, which means that the newcomer is definitely not weak!

Lin Chen did not answer Yun Zhi's words, but looked at her and asked, "What is your strength?"

Yun Zhi was startled when she heard it, and said, "The peak of Guixu!"

"That's right, it should be that damn Golden Guard leader who came to seek revenge." Lin Chen thought to himself, this is trouble.

The Golden Guard leader is a strong man at the peak of Guixu. Although his strength has reached the peak of Guixu, he has only barely touched the threshold of magical powers. He has not yet stepped into this legendary realm. It is almost impossible to win against him!

Boom--!

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the jungle next to him, and then a figure rushed out of the jungle.

It was an old man in a red robe, with his hair and beard all spread out, and his face was withered, giving people a feeling of dying wood, but his pair of eyes as deep as stars seemed to contain explosive energy.

"Grand Elder!" The three warriors said respectfully.

This old man is the only strong man in the Southern Xinjiang Dynasty who has entered the free and easy realm!

"Hmm? The peak of Guixu?"

The red-robed old man glanced at Lin Chen, frowned slightly, and said: "Who is he? How come I have never heard of him? Is he new?"

The three golden guards shook their heads, and one of them said: "We don't know him either."

Lin Chen cursed in his heart, these bastards, they were pretending just now, and now they say they don't know him, they are really good at acting!

The red-robed old man frowned and said to Lin Chen: "Who are you? Why do you want to interfere in our affairs? I advise you not to interfere!"

As he spoke, a strong smell of blood permeated his body, and the stench of rotting corpses drifted in the air.

His tone was very calm, as if he was stating something very ordinary, but Lin Chen and Queen Yunzhi felt cold all over, which was a sign of death.

The red-robed old man looked at the dead body of the Golden Guard lying on the ground, wondering if this person was also a Golden Guard? However, since the other party was not a Golden Guard, there was no need to show mercy!

The figure of the red-robed old man turned into a residual shadow. In an instant, he came to Lin Chen and slapped him with one palm.

Boom!

Lin Chen retreated suddenly, his chest was hit and sunken, and the whole person broke several bowl-thick trees and fell to the ground.

Puff!

A large mouthful of blood sprayed out, Lin Chen's face was pale, his body was extremely weak, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the red-robed old man standing in front of him, his eyes widened with horror.

He never expected that he would still be defeated by the other party in this situation. This person has been practicing for at least four hundred years and is a real old monster.

"Sorry! I forgot to restrain my breath."

The red-robed old man was slightly relieved when he saw Lin Chen's appearance. After all, the other party was not dead yet, and this degree of injury would recover soon.

He did not chase Lin Chen immediately, but turned to look at Yun Zhi and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, are you still stubborn now? As long as you hand over the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Art, I can spare your life. Otherwise, no one can save you today!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The red-robed old man snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you think. You are unwilling to be inferior to me and want to replace me and ascend to the throne. But I tell you, wishful thinking! You are not my opponent at all, not to mention me, even my brothers, you can't beat them! You can only live under my feet forever, forever! Hahaha..."

The red-robed old man laughed up to the sky, his eyes full of teasing. He was really happy. After all, he made a move.

The key to this move was Queen Yun Zhi.

As long as he controls Queen Yunzhi, most of the forces in Southern Xinjiang will submit to him. By then, he will be able to become the true ruler of Southern Xinjiang!

He smiled grimly and said, "Girl, you should be obedient. When you become the leader of our Golden Guard, I will naturally give you the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Art!"

Lin Chen looked at Yun Zhi and saw that she was determined, so he said no more and said to her, "Stay away, I will deal with him!"

Yun Zhi was stunned and said in surprise, "He is a super strong man at the level of Xiaoyao Realm. You are not his opponent. Run away!"

The red-robed old man laughed when he heard her words, "Little girl, you underestimate me too much."

"Great Teleportation Technique!"

Seeing this scene, Yun Zhi was shocked, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, "You are crazy, you will lose your lifespan like this!"

She was panicked. This Great Teleportation Technique is the secret skill of the Golden Guard, with infinite power, but the conditions for using it are also extremely harsh and require the consumption of lifespan!

In this state, the opponent's combat power is at most comparable to the third level of Xiaoyao Realm.

"Hahaha! Are you scared?"

The red-robed old man laughed, his eyes teasing, as if he didn't take Lin Chen seriously at all.

"You're wrong."

Lin Chen slowly uttered these two words, and then punched out, like an antelope hanging its horns without a trace, and instantly hit the palm of the red-robed old man's hand.

Crack, crack...

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

The red-robed old man screamed, his body retreated violently, and flew directly into the depths of the forest and disappeared.

"Hiss! This..."

Many black-armored soldiers were stunned at this time.

Although Lin Chen's speed was far inferior to their captain, the red-robed old man was much more powerful than their captain, and he couldn't even block a single move!

Who is this person? Is he also a Golden Guard?

Yun Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, looking at the man in front of her, she was extremely shocked.

This man who suddenly appeared was so powerful that even she, the queen, was as small as an ant in front of him!

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Lin Chen asked that question just now.

Because he knew that he could never stop the other party, he was reminding himself to take the opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhi felt warm in her heart. She had encountered too many betrayals in her life. At this moment, this man's behavior made her want to cry. She felt sweet in her heart and felt lucky to have survived the disaster.

Lin Chen was seriously injured, but he still struggled to get up.

He coughed, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Yun Zhi, and said straight to the point: "Yun Zhi, you leave first and find a safe place to recuperate. I will hold them back!"

Yun Zhi shook his head and refused: "No! They are here with bad intentions this time. If they are allowed to leave, then Nanjiang will fall into dire straits. You must go with me!"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "If I leave, you will die if you stay here!"

Yun Zhi: "But you must go with me too."

Lin Chen frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Well, in this case, let's run away together!"

He thought about it and took out a pill from the storage ring and swallowed it.

This pill was robbed from Nangong Yu before. It is of very high quality and can quickly heal injuries. However, this thing is too precious. Even if he has now become a seventh-level saint, he dare not eat it carelessly.

After taking the pill, Lin Chen felt that his chest, which had been aching, had improved a lot, and his body functions gradually returned to normal.

He sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries by practicing the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Technique. Soon after, his injuries were somewhat healed.

"Is this... a healing pill?"

Yun Zhi saw Lin Chen take the pill and immediately determined the effect of the pill.

Then, her eyes fell on Lin Chen's waist and asked in confusion: "Why are you wearing women's clothes, and the belt is tied into a bow."

Lin Chen said awkwardly: "Uh... This is what I looted from the girl named Nangong Yu before."

"You even took the girl's things?" Yun Zhi looked at him in astonishment.

Lin Chen touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "There is no way. In order to prevent being hunted down, I had to tie her up first. By the way, where is Nangong Yu? She should have been brought here by you now, right?"

Lin Chen became anxious, because Nangong Yu was captured by the old man in red robe.

"Oh, that girl. I sent her to the Northern Frontier Dynasty." Yun Zhi nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "Strange, why are you asking this?"

"I'm worried that you will be caught by them." Lin Chen said, and sighed.

His worry is not without reason.

After all, Yun Zhi is the ruler of a country. Once she is caught, the entire Beijiang Dynasty will be destroyed, and even Beijiang City will fall.

Yun Zhi chuckled, her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

She looked at Lin Chen with a charming look in her eyes, and said coquettishly: "Little rascal, are you concerned about me?"

After she finished speaking, she changed her tone and snorted coldly: "Hmph! But I won't go with you!"

After that, she ordered the black-armored soldiers beside her: "Immediately send people to seal the palace and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!"

The black-armored soldiers heard the words and immediately left.

Lin Chen looked at Yun Zhi in surprise. He didn't expect that the queen was quite courageous.

"Let's go, accompany me to see those golden guards." Yun Zhi said lightly, her tone was as calm as a queen.

Soon, the two came to a magnificent palace, and a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

Hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. He was tall, with a cold face and sharp eyes.

When he saw Lin Chen clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he smiled, stood up and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty!"

Yun Zhi waved his hand to let him off the hook, and looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Zhao Wu, why are you back?"

Zhao Wu said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty was assassinated, so I came to rescue you."

When he spoke, his face was serious and his eyes were firm.

"I know."

Yun Zhi nodded. She knew that the reason why Zhao Wu came back was because she was assassinated, which meant that someone wanted to take her life.

She said solemnly: "Do you know where my father is now?"

Although she was in danger, she was not really panicked. She believed that Lin Chen could protect her.

What surprised her most was that this time Lin Chen not only did not run away, but was willing to stay with her.

Zhao Wu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured. The emperor has led his troops to fight and is ready to destroy the Xiongnu! Over the years, the Xiongnu and the Western Rong have united and become stronger. Now they have defeated the Western Rong and seized the territory of the Western Rong."

He continued: "This battle, the emperor will definitely return victorious. When he comes back, it will be time to recover the Western Desert."

"Good!"

Yun Zhi's face was filled with joy. This news was undoubtedly a timely help for her.

Three of the four counties in the Western Regions have now been occupied by the Xiongnu. The remaining county is the Northern Frontier Dynasty. The Northern Frontier Dynasty is the only place that has not been invaded and is also the biggest threat to the Western Rong Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty.

Once the Northern Frontier Dynasty is recovered, the situation between the Northern Frontier, the Western Rong and the Western Xia will become delicate. It will probably not be easy for the Western Xia Dynasty to annex the Western Regions.

Yun Zhi was very pleased. For so many years, the Northern Frontier Dynasty and the Xiongnu have had a deep hatred. Now the Northern Frontier Dynasty has finally ushered in an opportunity to rise.

"By the way, Zhao Wu, how did you know that I was in the Southern Xinjiang Dynasty?"

No one else knew about this except Lin Chen, so Yun Zhi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Chen also looked at Zhao Wu, hoping to get the answer from him.
