The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me

The border area between the Eastern Wasteland Domain and the Ningcang Domain.

Beyond the border, further on lies the renowned Silent Sea Dense Forest, the last county town on the way from Central Divine Province to Yun Province. Many passing merchants and wandering knights would stop here, making it a rather sizable place.

The wind is picking up.

The endless rustling of leaves truly sounded like ocean waves.

Shen Yunfei's hometown is right here; it's a large house with three courtyards and three entrances.

The Clear Abyss Sect members arrived and were naturally warmly received by the Shen family.

At this moment, Shen Yunfei was introducing his junior classmates to his parents:

"This is Junior Brother Ouyang, the chief disciple of Ruyi Peak. Not only is he highly skilled, but his painting skills are also exquisite."

"Greetings, Uncle."

Ouyang bowed and then took out a picture album from his bosom:

"Uncle, I heard you run a bookstore business. I have a picture album here..."

"We can discuss business matters later."

Shen Yunfei coughed lightly, lowered his voice, and introduced:

"Oh right, this is Li... Hmm? Where is he?"

"They've gone to interrogate those assassins," Ouyang said.

"Mountain Rain Approaching Order..."

Shen Yunfei frowned and sighed:

"Whenever this decree appears, it signifies that the Drizzle Pavilion has grand ambitions. I'm afraid Junior Brother Li will have difficulty getting anything out of them."

Most of the assassins from the Drizzle Pavilion would rather die than reveal the secrets of the tower.

Because becoming a traitor would be worse than death.

Ouyang nodded and said:

"So, Junior Brother Li also has Pu... Pu what was it again? Oh, Pulanbi."

"What is Pranbi..."

"That's the second option."

Ouyang lowered his voice and gestured for his fellow disciples to come closer. As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a strange, grating laugh.

The more they listened, the stranger their expressions became.

Not far away.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen exchanged a glance.

"Master, isn't Clear Abyss Sect a reputable and righteous sect?" Madam Shen asked worriedly.

Mr. Shen scratched his head. "I remember it..."

I just remember the book "The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me" that Ouyang gave him.

Several strangely bound burly men were also taken into the woodshed, their mouths stuffed with strips of cloth, making them look like they had been kidnapped.

Old Shen felt a little guilty.

At this moment, Shen Yunfei stepped forward:

"Father, we'll need your cooperation later."

"Ah?"

Inside the woodshed.

Li Mo sat on a stool drinking tea, while Ying Bing stood at the door with her sword in her arms.

"So you're called Blood-Hand Vulture? You lose a single hair for every person you kill, you've plucked all their hair and eyebrows, so you've killed countless people?"

Young Hero Li spoke with righteous indignation.

"Well... actually... actually, when I was taking a medicinal bath, I replaced the body-tempering potion with hair removal cream, so my hair and eyebrows fell out."

Blood-Hand Vulture said sheepishly.

"And you? Dead Eye Absolute Blade? You've got quite the reputation in the underworld, huh? Whoever you look down on dies?"

"My eyes get dry easily, well... I have congenital dry eye syndrome. My eyes just can't help but squint when it's windy."

"Jade-Faced Flying Dragon, I heard you even dared to intercept the Prince of Southern Pacification's birthday tribute? You're quite arrogant."

Li Mo failed to get the Big-Headed Doll, so he could only slap the coffee table with his hand.

Jade-Faced Flying Dragon lowered his head. "How dare I touch the Prince of Southern Pacification's birthday gifts? When you're out in the martial world, you have to have some impressive achievements to show for it..."

Li Mo's lips twitched slightly.

How could these guys be considered Human Butcher?

As expected, every organization is bound to have a mix of good and bad people, and Drizzle Pavilion is no exception.

"Our Clear Abyss Sect suppresses an entire prefecture; we are mortal enemies with evil."

"What are the plans and objectives of the Drizzle Pavilion in Yun Province? Tell us honestly."

"Considering your sins are not grave, I might show you some leniency."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, all deeply hesitant.

The assassin, his entire body wrapped in bandages, sneered:

"You little brat, how dare you interrogate us? Kill us or torture us, it's all up to you!"

"Otherwise, once the experts in my building arrive, they will surely make sure you all die without a burial place!"

He was a heartless killer.

To be tied up in this position is an utter disgrace!

The others also blushed, feeling resentful.

Ying Bing's gaze swept over, seemingly hostile.

They behaved themselves.

But they looked at each other, still not daring to speak.

It's fine to just loaf around in the building, but if secrets are leaked, the outcome would be worse than being killed by Li Mo; at least that would be a quick death.

"Since you are so stubborn..."

Li Mo patted his clothes, stood up, walked to the door, and gestured to Ying Bing.

Then, he walked outside.

Ying Bing remained expressionless, drew her Heavenly Frost Sword, and slowly walked over.

Looking at the girl, the assassins felt a pang of regret. Jade-Faced Flying Dragon was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and he shook his head frantically.

At that very moment.

Ping-ping-ling--

Suddenly, sounds of fighting erupted outside, mixed with conversation.

"Who are you?!" It was Li Mo's voice.

"Heh, the one who'll take your life."

This is a low, bubbly sound.

Sensing something was wrong, Ying Bing also flew away.

Boom--

Bang bang--

Crackling and popping--

The entire courtyard seemed to be engulfed in a fierce battle.

A short while later, a hammer came flying through the air and smashed the door.

There was a man dressed in a black robe, holding a strangely shaped short-handled hammer. He was surrounded by Weapon Intent, and his presence was extremely fierce and intimidating.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person."

He said in a deep voice.

"And you are...?"

"Northwest Hammer King"

The man took out a Swallow Before the Hall to identify himself.

"Outside..."

"It's resolved, come with me now."

Clang--

The Crimson Firmament Sword lay motionless on the ground, seemingly devoid of its spirit.

Blood-Hand Vulture was greatly shocked.

When did such a powerful newcomer appear in this building? Even that aloof and domineering girl, whose strength was so overwhelming it inspired despair, was no match for him?

But the Swallow Before the Hall cannot be faked!

The group no longer had any doubts. After the Northwest Hammer King released the control measures on their bodies, they followed behind him.

Halfway.

The Clear Abyss Sect disciples stepped forward to stop them.

"You madman, don't run away!"

Ouyang stepped forward to stop him.

Then he was smashed away with a hammer.

Puff--

He coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, his limbs convulsing; it was clear he couldn't be saved.

The Clear Abyss Sect disciples who tried to stop them were no match for a single blow!

Not long after.

They then fled into the Silent Sea Dense Forest.

This dense forest stretches for thousands of miles. Without a guide, it's impossible to discern directions. The winding, meandering forest makes it impossible to track, allowing one to evade capture.

Finally, they escaped to a safe place with the Northwest Hammer King.

"Brother Hammer King, thank you for your help."

Blood-Hand Vulture bowed down, deeply grateful.

If such a ruthless person were to grow up, she might be no less formidable than the Heavenly Demon Saintess.

If only I could latch onto a powerful backer...

"We're all colleagues here, no need for thanks. I was just passing through."

"The Northwest Hammer King" said calmly.

He spoke again, quite naturally:

"By the way, you went to Yun Province, did something happen in the building?"

"Brother Hammer King, you don't know?"

The Jade-Faced Flying Dragon looked puzzled.

Such a ruthless person would be a key figure in any branch building; they wouldn't be unaware of an impending Wind and Rain Approaching Order.

"I was the top scorer in the Purple Sun Prefecture's Avici Trial. Since the destruction of the Purple Sun Branch Pavilion, I have yet to find my organization."

"I see."

They had all heard about what happened at Purple Sun Prefecture, and their faces immediately showed sympathy.

"If it weren't for that Shang Wu, Brother Hammer King, you would have already risen to great heights."

Recalling their recent experience, Blood-Hand Vulture and his companions were filled with rage.

The Northwest Hammer King nodded, and even snorted coldly with great indignation:

"That Shang Wu repeatedly humiliated and beat me! She even used Inner Scene realm to beat me while roasting me with fire!"

"She even... she even made me cook for her!"

Several people. "!!"

That's so tragic!

The sight of an assassin reduced to cooking for others and suffering daily beatings is heartbreaking and brings tears to the eyes of anyone who hears or sees it.

Even more astonishingly, the Hammer King brothers actually escaped alive after falling into the hands of that female demon?

At that moment, several people who shared the same feeling felt an urge to become sworn brothers with the Northwest Hammer King.

"Brother Hammer King, don't panic."

"Once you return to the organization, you will surely soar to great heights and personally wash away this shame!"

Then.

Next.

The group spilled out everything they knew.

Including the location of the Yun Province branch of the Drizzle Pavilion, what they knew was the presence of the Drizzle Pavilion experts who went to Yun Province...

Finally, Bloodhand Human Butcher said regretfully:

"Brother Hammer King, you killed Li Mo of Clear Abyss Sect, but unfortunately you didn't leave any evidence."

"Otherwise, you could use it to collect Bounty, which would be a considerable sum of money."

"Oh?"

The Northwest Hammer King seemed somewhat tempted. "That Li Mo received Bounty, so he's quite valuable?"

"That's true, but..."

The Dead Eye Absolute Blade advised, "Martial law has been declared in the county, and the Garrison Army have probably already arrived. If we go back now, it might be too late."

"Yes, it's too late."

"By the way, is Li Mo dead or not?"

"What a pity, I wanted to finish him off myself."

The group exuded murderous intent, a stark contrast to their previous weak, pitiful, and helpless demeanor.

But then he heard the Northwest Hammer King laugh:

"No need for trouble, why go back to look?"

The group of Human Butcher each other paused for a moment.

He removed the Azure Dragon Iron Mask and the Formless Glazed Veil, and laughed:

"We meet again, are you surprised or not?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The senior brothers and sisters of Clear Abyss Sect also emerged from the woods, including Ouyang, who had been 'seriously injured and died'.

"..."

The dense forest fell silent.

This "Northwest Hammer King" was none other than Li Mo.

Several people felt a chill run down their spines and their eyes widened.

What... is this some kind of entrapment operation?
