Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 240 Mysterious Token
As Li Batian roared again.

The next moment, before the man in black could even react, his mind exploded.

"puff!"

At this moment, several men in black who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack were frightened by the bloody scene and retreated one after another.

Even though they claim to be accustomed to bloody scenes.

But this was the first time they had seen such a bloody scene.

"Who else?!"

Li Batian roared.

"What a bunch of cowards!"

"You, a bunch of weaklings, want to fight me, Li Batian!"

"Do you have the qualifications to fight with me?"

Li Batian shouted.

The next moment, he immediately swung the giant black iron sword in his hand.

The heavy sword, coupled with his terrifying strength that was far beyond that of an ordinary person, helped him carve out a way to survive.

However, just when Li Batian got rid of the entanglement of these men in black and finally got rid of these guys.

Unexpectedly, he had just run out of the temple and had not walked far when he found that someone was outside at some point.

A group of people were actually catching up with me from behind.

But this time they were not men in black, but some people dressed in strange clothes and weird costumes.

"Who are you?"

Li Batian asked cautiously.

"Humph, Li Batian, today is the day you die!"

A leading weirdo sneered.

"Just you?"

Li Batian disdainfully retorted.

Li Batian is a person who responds to soft words but not hard ones.

Since the other party dares to fight so hard, the next battle is bound to be another fierce one.

At the same time, on Chu Shizhao's side.

At this moment, he was anxiously waiting for news in his own mansion in the capital.

"How come after so much time, there is still no news from Li Batian and the others?"

Chu Shizhao paced back and forth in the room.

Hengyi suggested: "Your Highness, how about I take some more people to check out the situation?"

Chu Shizhao nodded. "Okay, you set off immediately and make sure to get accurate information. If Li Batian and the others are in danger, help them immediately."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Hengyi quickly assembled a team of people and rushed towards the northwest border at full speed.

When Hengyi and others arrived at the border, the battle on Li Batian's side had already reached a stalemate.

Heng Yi saw Li Batian being besieged from afar and immediately shouted, "Brothers, go! Save General Li!"

Everyone rushed into the battle and started fighting with those monsters.

With the joining of Hengyi and others, the situation of the battle was quickly reversed.

"General Li, are you okay?"

Hengyi approached Li Batian while fighting.

"I'm fine. These people came out of nowhere and are very troublesome."

Li Batian responded.

Hengyi observed the situation and found that although these weirdos had strange moves, they did not cooperate well with each other.

"Everyone, cooperate and defeat them one by one!"

Hengyi yelled.

Everyone obeyed orders, cooperated with each other, and gradually turned the situation around.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

Hengyi chased closely.

At this moment, a weirdo suddenly took out a smoke bomb from his arms and threw it on the ground.

Suddenly, smoke filled the air and the monsters took advantage of the smoke to escape.

"Damn it, they got away."

Li Batian said in annoyance.

"General Li, don't worry about them for now. We have to report the situation here to His Highness as soon as possible."

Hengyi said.

The two men returned to the capital with their men and told Chu Shizhao everything that had happened.

"It seems that there are other forces behind this mysterious force."

Chu Shizhao was in deep thought.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Li Batian asked.

Chu Shizhao's eyes were firm: "Continue the investigation and make sure to find out the forces behind this. Also, strengthen the defense of the capital to prevent them from attacking again."

"Yes!"

Li Batian and Hengyi responded.

Su Yao said at this time: "Your Highness, I think we can start from those men in black who were caught before, and maybe we can get some useful clues."

Chu Shizhao nodded: "Go and interrogate those men in black and make sure to find out who is behind this."

Su Yao took the order and left.

After severe torture, one of the men in black finally gave in.

"I'm telling you! We are all following the orders of an organization called the Dark Night Cult. I really don't know who is the mastermind behind this!"

The man in black said in horror.

"Dark Night Cult?"

Chu Shizhao frowned, "I've never heard of this organization, Su Yao, do you know?"

Su Yao shook her head: "Your Highness, I have never heard of it either. It seems that this is an extremely mysterious organization."

"No matter how mysterious it is, we must get to the bottom of it."

Chu Shizhao said, "Hengyi, you and Su Yao should continue to investigate along this clue."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Hengyi and Su Yao immediately launched an investigation...

Hengyi found Liu San, a famous gossip-monger in the capital.

"Liu San, you've been in the capital for so long, have you ever heard of an organization called 'Dark Night Cult'?"

Liu San scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, "Dark Night Cult? This is the first time I've heard of this name. But the capital is so big, there are many hidden talents, so it's normal that some mysterious organizations are unknown. I'll mobilize my brothers to help you find out."

"Okay, if you have any news, report it immediately, and you will definitely benefit from it."

Hengyi patted Liu San on the shoulder.

Su Yao targeted some people in the underworld.

She found several knights who often roamed the world in a tavern.

"My dear heroes, I want to ask you something. Do you know what kind of organization the 'Dark Night Cult' is?"

Su Yao asked politely.

One of the knights frowned and said, "Dark Night Cult? I've never heard of it. But the Jianghu is so vast that nothing is impossible. Why do you want to know about this, young lady?"

Su Yao briefly explained how the men in black were instructed by the Dark Night Cult to launch a surprise attack on the capital.

"To think there is such a thing! It seems that the Dark Night Cult is not a good thing. We travel a lot on weekdays, and if we come across relevant clues, we will definitely let the girl know."

Another knight said.

A few days later, Liu San hurried to find Hengyi.

"Commander Heng, there's news! One of my brothers heard a few hooligans chatting in a gambling house in the west of the city. They said that their boss seemed to have contacts with a mysterious organization. The organization's behavior was strange and they were active at night. Maybe it was the Dark Night Cult."

"Come on, take me to see your brother."

Hengyi said immediately.

After meeting Liu San's brother, Hengyi inquired about the situation in detail.

The younger brother said, "I also heard it by chance. They said that the boss often goes out in the middle of the night and meets with some people in black robes. I don't know what they talk about. Their boss has a house in the eastern suburbs. I think we can go there and take a look."

Hengyi and Su Yao brought a group of people and arrived outside the house in the eastern suburbs under the cover of night.

They quietly climbed over the wall and entered.

Hengyi approached the room cautiously and looked inside through the crack in the window. He saw several men in black sitting together and talking in the room.

"This operation failed. The higher-ups were very angry and ordered us to find out the reason for the information leak as soon as possible."

A man in black said.

"Hmph, there must be a traitor among us. We need to investigate thoroughly." "No matter what, we must speed up the process and not let the Dark Night Cult's plan be hindered."

The leading man in black said.

Hengyi was listening intently when suddenly a branch broke under his feet.

The "click" sound was particularly harsh in the silent night.

The man in black in the room immediately became alert, "Who?"

Hengyi knew his whereabouts were exposed, so he made a prompt decision, kicked open the door, and shouted, "Brothers, go!"

Although the men in black were very skilled, Hengyi and his companions were well prepared and had the advantage in numbers.

After a fierce battle, the men in black were subdued one after another.

Heng Yi grabbed the leading black-clad man and asked, "Tell me, where is the headquarters of your Dark Night Cult? Who is the mastermind behind this?"

The man in black gnashed his teeth and said, "You want me to speak? No way!"

Su Yao stepped forward and said coldly: "If you don't say it, I have plenty of ways to make you speak."

As he spoke, he took out some strange potions from his pocket.

The man in black saw this and looked terrified.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.

Before anyone could react, a group of masked men rushed into the house.

"Quick action, save people!"

The masked man in the lead shouted.

"Retreat first!"

Seeing that the other party was coming with such a fierce momentum, Heng Yixin knew that he might not be a match for these guys.

In order to preserve her strength, she had no choice but to lead everyone to fight and retreat.

"Damn it, they got away again."

Su Yao said angrily.

"It doesn't matter. At least we have some clues. The Dark Night Cult will definitely take more actions. We will continue to watch."

Hengyi said.

After returning to the capital, Hengyi and Su Yao reported the situation to Chu Shizhao.

"It seems that the Dark Night Cult has a strong force behind it. They were able to send people to rescue us so quickly."

Chu Shizhao pondered.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with this next?"

Chu Shizhao paced in the room: "On the one hand, we must continue to strengthen the defense of the capital and not let them take advantage of the opportunity; on the other hand, we must intensify the investigation of the Dark Night Cult and find out their headquarters and the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Yes!" Hengyi and Su Yao responded.

A few days later, Chu Shizhao received news that some items related to the Dark Night Cult appeared on the black market in the capital.

"Su Yao, Heng Yi, go to the black market immediately and see if you can find any new clues."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the two men disguised themselves and blended into the black market.

The black market is a mixed bag, with all kinds of strange and weird things available.

Hengyi and Su Yao asked around and finally found a stall selling mysterious items.

"Boss, do you have anything related to the Dark Night Cult in your stall?"

Hengyi asked in a low voice.

The boss looked around and whispered, "Yes, there is, but it's not cheap."

"How much, you make a price."

Su Yao said.

The boss held up five fingers: "Fifty taels of silver."

"Fifty taels? That's too expensive!"

Hengyi said.

"Don't buy it if you think it's too expensive. I got this thing with great difficulty."

The boss snorted.

Su Yao thought for a moment, took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the silver with satisfaction and took out a black token from under the stall.

"This is the token of the Dark Night Cult. With it, maybe we can find their people." said the boss.

Hengyi took the token, looked at it carefully, and found some strange symbols engraved on it.

"Boss, what do the symbols on this token mean?"

The boss shook his head: "I don't know either. I only know that this is the symbol of the Dark Night Cult."

Just then, a group of people suddenly gathered around.

"Hand over the token!"

The leader said viciously.

Hengyi put the token in his arms and said, "Why? We bought it with money."

"Humph, in this black market, the bigger the fist, the more power you have. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, or you'll be in trouble."

Su Yao directly drew out the dagger at her waist.

"You want to steal something, have you asked about the sword in my hand?"

"Yo, you're still a hottie. But we have to decide on this token today."

Someone said with a grin.

Hengyi and Su Yao stood back to back, looking vigilantly at the group of uninvited guests around them.

Hengyi whispered to Su Yao: "Be careful, these people look difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

Su Yao responded.

The other party rushed forward, and Hengyi immediately drew his sword to meet them.

The hot girl Su Yao is no less impressive.

At this moment, she relied on her flexible and changeable hands to attack the enemy from time to time, making them unable to defend themselves.

"These two guys are quite capable, everyone, attack them together, don't hold back!"

The leader shouted.

The enemy's offensive became more fierce. Although Hengyi and Su Yao were highly skilled in martial arts, they gradually found it difficult to outnumber the enemy.

"This is not a solution. We need to come up with a plan."

Hengyi was thinking while playing.

Suddenly, Hengyi came up with an idea.

He deliberately left a flaw to lure the enemy closer.

Seeing this, one of the minions thought he had an opportunity and rushed over.

Hengyi seized the opportunity, kicked him away, and then used the force to rush towards the leader of the other side.

"you dare!"

The leader didn't expect Hengyi to take the initiative to attack, and raised his knife to resist in panic.

Hengyi aimed at his wrist and chopped it with his sword. The opponent felt pain and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Stop it all!"

Hengyi pointed his sword at the opponent's leader's neck and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the minions stopped and dared not act rashly.

Hengyi asked coldly, "Now, do you want to continue fighting, or stop here?"

"Hmph, kid, don't be so complacent. You're lucky today. Let's go!"

The other leader gritted his teeth and walked away in disgrace with his men.

"Huh, I finally solved this problem."

Su Yao put away the soft sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But we still need to study the use of this token."

Hengyi took out the token and looked at it carefully again.

After leaving the black market, the two returned to Chu Shizhao, presented the token, and told him about their experiences in the black market.

Chu Shizhao took the token and checked it over and over again, but still had no clue.

"I've never seen this symbol before. I need to find someone who knows something about it to take a look."

At this time, a counselor stepped forward.

"Your Highness, perhaps you can ask the old scholar Master Zhang in the capital. He is well-versed in history and modern times, and maybe he can recognize the meaning of this symbol."

Chu Shizhao nodded: "Okay, go and ask Master Zhang to come over immediately."
