Family Deathsworn and Crimson Moon Slash (Please Follow Up). Looking at William's somewhat stern expression, Chen Mu frowned.

"Leave now? Is this really that serious?"

A trace of confusion colored Chen Mu's voice.

He had originally assumed that this Life and Death Arena had simply been arranged by some noble in the Golden Lion Arena who disliked his winning streak, or because he had harmed certain nobles' interests.

But William, who had returned from his investigation, brought him different news.

"Young Master, there is more than one person behind this. Even some people within the Golden Lion Arena have been corrupted. This Life and Death Arena targeting you was completely premeditated."

William's voice was solemn, though his tone seemed to carry complicated emotions.

William would not suspect something for no reason. Since he said this, Chen Mu knew that William must have uncovered some clues.

So Chen Mu did not press further and merely nodded lightly.

But Chen Mu was no fool. He had still picked up on something from William's tone.

"Was it you, my elder brother whom I've never met?"

Chen Mu sighed faintly inwardly.

The only person Chen Mu could think of who could stir William's emotions was Nikola Wesley, the original owner's elder brother whom he had never met since transmigrating into this world.

Seeing Chen Mu's complicated expression, William wondered if he had let too much show.

This matter could be considered serious, or it could be considered minor. He had indeed found some clues, but they were not that exaggerated.

He simply needed to send Chen Mu back first for his safety, then continue investigating after consulting the master.

As for the complicated emotions in his tone, he was actually marveling that someone dared to pluck a lion's whiskers.

He immediately realized that Chen Mu seemed to have misunderstood him.

With a quick turn of thought, he understood what Chen Mu was thinking.

He could not help but smile wryly.

"Young Master, you misunderstand. I need to send you back first because I am worried about your safety. This has nothing to do with the eldest young master."

The reason he had been able to think of this so quickly was also related to the Golden Lion Arena.

This Golden Lion Arena was precisely the responsibility of Nikola Wesley, the eldest young master of the Golden Lion Family.

However, Nikola Wesley had left to travel the Wandering Kingdom two years ago. Someone else was now in charge of the arena, and Nikola had even sent a letter back to the master from the capital some days ago.

Moreover, William knew Chen Mu's elder brother extremely well.

He knew that Chen Mu's elder brother could not possibly be behind this matter.

So even though he knew saying this was somewhat overstepping, he still said it.

He did not want Chen Mu to misunderstand his elder brother because of something he had said.

Chen Mu looked at William in surprise.

Naturally, he was surprised because William had seen through his thoughts so easily.

At the same time, he felt relieved. Fratricide was not something Chen Mu wanted to see.

In the original owner's memories, this elder brother had treated him exceptionally well from childhood to adulthood.

Because Earl Arthur had many matters to attend to in his territory, his biological elder brother had played the role of both father and brother ever since their mother passed away.

Chen Mu also realized that this had been a misunderstanding. His suspicion of his elder brother had been an instinctive, rational suspicion born from his perspective as a transmigrator.

After coming to his senses, he also realized just how unreliable his thoughts had been.

Without hesitation, Chen Mu followed William out of the Golden Lion Arena's resting area and headed outside.

He understood that William was worried about his safety.

After all, the person behind this was using underhanded tactics outside the arena, but William had to prepare for the possibility that they would tear off all pretenses.

He was a Grand Knight, yes, but who knew whether the person behind this would send Grand Knights as well, or a whole group of knights?

If he were alone, he would not be worried at all. Even if three Grand Knights came, he could flee if he could not defeat them.

But two fists could not fend off four hands. He had Chen Mu to protect.

Therefore, William's most important task now was to send Chen Mu back first.

Investigating the person behind this absolutely came after Chen Mu's safety.

In the carriage, William still served as both guard and coachman.

Chen Mu, meanwhile, sat in the carriage compartment with a book in his hands, turning its pages one by one.

The atmosphere was quiet. Neither William nor Chen Mu spoke.

But suddenly, Chen Mu seemed to sense something. He closed the book in his hands and instinctively steadied himself.

The next moment, the carriage abruptly stopped.

William had stopped it steadily, and Chen Mu had been prepared, so he naturally was not thrown off balance.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

William, seated at the front, spoke in a low voice.

His tone had never been as icy as it was now.

An unmistakable aura instantly swept through the scene, and killing intent enveloped the area.

If William had been a lone wolf crouching on the ground when he first learned that Chen Mu had been set up, then now he was a wolf king baring its fangs and bloody maw.

Using underhanded tricks in the shadows was one thing, but openly intercepting a carriage engraved with the Golden Lion Family crest was no ordinary provocation.

This was practically taking a shit on the head of the Golden Lion Family, a family that had stood in the kingdom for centuries.

In the past several decades, no one had ever dared to do this.

But today, someone had.

The dozens of hooded men blocking the carriage showed no reaction whatsoever to William's words. They neither spoke in reply nor displayed any emotion.

They were like a dozen robots, all cast from the same mold.

"Family Deathsworn!"

William's heart sank.

He quickly identified these people.

Family Deathsworn were not something small families could cultivate. Such people had to be trained from childhood.

They possessed little human emotion. Like Knight Swords loyal to the family, they were more tools than people.

The Golden Lion Family also had Family Deathsworn.

A large part of why William had been able to identify them so quickly was because he had personally trained Family Deathsworn before.

He was all too familiar with such people.

William had not expected the person behind this to move so quickly, nor to know their route so thoroughly.

He immediately understood that the person behind this was definitely no ordinary figure. Those clues he had found were very likely deliberately left for him to discover.

It had been William's decision not to bring a large escort for Chen Mu. When he and Chen Mu left the Golden Lion Arena, he had arranged for dozens of different carriages to depart in different directions at the same time.

Yet they had still been intercepted. There were only two possible reasons.

The first was that the person behind this knew exactly which route William would take. The second was that all the dozens of carriages had been intercepted.

William did not know which it was, but neither was good news.

The Death Soldiers did not move at all. They were waiting for William to make the first move. From beginning to end, their target had been Chen Mu.

Their mission was to kill Chen Mu by any means possible, so naturally they would not simply swarm him head-on.

The next moment, William made his move.

A layer of crimson light instantly enveloped the silver-white Knight Sword.

Knight Skill: Crimson Moon Slash! A true Knight Skill!

A Knight Skill unleashed by a Grand Knight brimming with killing intent!

The Longsword wrapped in crimson light seemed to transform into a red full moon as it slashed toward several Death Soldiers in front of the carriage.

In an instant, two heads soared into the air!

Blood splattered everywhere.

But the Death Soldiers moved swiftly as well. Of the remaining eight, seven instantly surrounded William.

Only one rushed toward the carriage compartment, his target being Chen Mu inside.

William's first reaction was confusion, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

For Quasi-Knight Death Soldiers to surround William was little different from seeking death.

Before even a second breath had passed, William had sent all seven of their heads flying.

But that fish that had slipped through the net in his eyes suddenly burst forth with speed even faster than his own.

Under normal circumstances, that should have been absolutely impossible.

Because that fish that had slipped through the net could at most be a Formal Knight. Their speed should have been Worlds Apart from his.

Formal Knights among the Family Deathsworn were the lowest-tier Formal Knights, inferior even to some exceptionally talented Quasi-Knights.

William had been puzzled just now because the Death Soldiers surrounding him was no different from suicide.

He could have easily killed the Death Soldiers surrounding him before going to protect Chen Mu.

But the situation on the field was completely different from what he had imagined. His slight misjudgment had even put the young master in danger.

William's pupils instantly turned crimson.

His speed abruptly increased as he fully unleashed his Life Seed.

By then, he had figured some things out.

They knew their route and had prepared so thoroughly.

"Wizard?! Magic Potion!"

William roared inwardly as he instantly hurled the Knight Sword in his hand.
