Creation Color Master

The room in the hostel was simply decorated and fully furnished. Chu Mo sat at the table with two cups of fresh tea in front of him, but Chu Mo's eyes were on the door of the room.

Soon, a dark shadow flashed in front of the window, and soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Squeak--"

The door was opened by Yang Jiye, and the person who came in was the black-clad swordsman who he had met once downstairs.

Seeing the teacup on Chu Mo's desk, the black-clothed swordsman's eyes moved slightly. He didn't expect that Chu Mo was actually waiting for him, which meant that his identity had been discovered by Chu Mo.

Noticing this, the black-clad swordsman did not act pretentiously and came directly to the table and sat opposite Chu Mo.

"This is a new kind of tea I harvested not long ago. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"

The swordsman in black took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "Please forgive me, Brother Chu, I don't usually like to drink tea, so I am not good at this and cannot comment on it."

Chu Mo smiled when he heard this and said, "You are a member of the Dark Guard, right? I wonder what your position is among the Dark Guards?"

The black-clad swordsman cupped his fists and said, "I am Shangguan Zhuo, also known as the Mysterious Sword Master. I am a special existence among the Dark Guards. I usually practice in the Imperial Capital. We will only go out when we receive a special mission from Lord Shadow."

Chu Mo had never thought that there would be such a person among the secret guards. He was also very curious and asked, "Brother Shangguan, if I am not mistaken, your cultivation should be at the third level of the Purple Mansion Stage. I wonder if the special beings you mentioned all have such cultivation?"

Shangguan Zhuo looked at Chu Mo deeply, recalled what Lord Shadow had said, and then replied: "Yes, for special beings like us, only those who have reached the third realm can choose to join."

Chu Mo calmly continued to ask: "How many people like you are there among the secret guards?"

Shangguan Zhuo thought about it for a moment and told the truth: "As far as I know, besides myself, there are five other such people."

Chu Mo showed a trace of shock when he heard that. It seemed that he had underestimated the power of the royal family. Now there were so many third-level strong men among the secret guards, and of course there were shadow guards as well, not to mention the royal family.

Chu Mo asked: "So you are here to carry out a special mission this time, to solve the problem of the secret guards in Baiwei County?"

Shangguan Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Shadow also told me to help you complete the remaining work here."

"At the same time, Lord Shadow also asked me to pass on a message to you. The emperor said that you can handle it with confidence. He will take care of all the problems. He just wants a peaceful and smooth world for the people."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo immediately nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while and then Shangguan Zhuo left.

On the side of the Six Sword Slaves, the ground was full of arrows. At the same time, the Jingyu Guards who were hiding in the dark also revealed their figures. Hundreds of Jingyu Guards holding spears surrounded the Six Sword Slaves.

The six sword slaves worked together as one, and were able to fight Guo Ziming to a draw.

On the other side, Xu Wenjie took out a few flying knives emitting cold light from his waist. He put his hands holding the flying knives behind his back, stared at the people fighting together, and quietly waited for an opportunity.

The God of Chaos was forced to retreat by a sudden surprise. He took several steps back before he could stabilize his body. Even his hands holding the sword were shaking slightly.

At this moment, Luanshen felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

The next second, a flying knife pierced through the right shoulder of the God of Chaos, and the God of Chaos who was leading the troops in his hand was almost thrown out.

Despite this, Luan Suan still gritted his teeth and joined the battle, and once again joined forces to fight Guo Ziming.

In the distance, Xu Wenjie, who had succeeded in his attack, let out a vicious smile. He was holding a flying knife in his hand hidden behind his back, and it seemed that he was going to use the same trick again.

“Swoosh—”

Seizing the opportunity, a life-claiming flying knife once again flew straight towards the direction of the Six Sword Slaves.

Just when it was halfway there, a fireball suddenly flew from nowhere and collided with the flying knife in mid-air. The originally extremely sharp flying knife was turned into molten iron in just a few seconds under the flames.

The fireball continued to fly towards Xu Wenjie with undiminished power. Seeing this, Xu Wenjie was frightened.

Without saying a word, he turned around and hid to his right.

The flames exploded in the air with a bang, turning into flames all over the sky that swept towards the dodging Xu Wenjie and the surrounding Jingyu Guards.

"what--"

"Help, what kind of fire is this, ah!"

"Why can't this fire be put out? Water, where is the water?"

For a moment, everyone was in chaos. The powerful flames ignited everything they touched. They could not be extinguished or put out, and they kept burning everyone.

The same was true for Xu Wenjie. Although he used a large amount of spiritual power to protect his body, he still could not extinguish the flames on his body.

Guo Ziming on the other side watched the sudden changes, especially the Jingyu Guards that his general had worked hard to train, about one third of whom had been killed or injured.

Guo Ziming was filled with heartache. He had no intention of continuing the fight. He fired a feint and then withdrew, shouting, "Jingyu Guards, there's something strange about this fire. We can't stay here for long. Everyone, retreat."

After saying that, he took advantage of the Jingyu Guards' retreat and hid among them and left the place.

Xu Wenjie was also in a very miserable state at this moment. His clothes were torn by the fire, his hair was also badly burned, and many parts of his body were red, which were signs of burns.

Looking at the disappearing six sword slaves, Xu Wenjie knew that this plan had failed and he needed to make new plans.

Just when everyone left, the fire burning on the bluestone slab slowly went out, as if it had no power and did not leave any trace on the bluestone slab.

If Xu Wenjie and others saw this scene, they would be so angry that they would jump to their feet.

On the roof of the house, a red figure flashed and disappeared into the distance.

Inside the hostel room, the six sword slaves half-knelt on the ground and narrated everything that had happened tonight.

This time when they reported back, they failed to find the shadow guard named Huang Yujun, and at the same time they exposed themselves. The other party has already noticed it and is likely to take countermeasures.

Chu Mo waved his hand to let the others stand up, and said: "It's not your fault. I didn't expect Shen Moqian to notice it so quickly. Guo Ziming and that secret guard Xu Wenjie teamed up to set a trap for me. It's getting more and more interesting."

Then let us see who is more skilled.

Chu Mo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about his next move.

As if thinking of something, Chu Mo said to the six sword slaves, "Well, let's leave the task of finding Huang Wenjun to Lai Buyi and the other two. They just entered the city today. Zhen Gang, go and tell them about this."

"As for you, disguise yourself and go investigate another matter for me. Why did Shen Moqian collect a large number of various snake monsters? Be careful this time and don't mess it up again."

Hearing this, the six of them lowered their heads and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. The Six Sword Slaves will not make the same mistake a second time."

After waving his hand to dismiss the six sword slaves, Chu Mo fell into deep thought. It was as if Huang Wenjun had disappeared from the face of the earth. How could he not be found? Could it be that he had been secretly dealt with by Shen Moqian's people?

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao, who was sitting cross-legged in practice, opened his eyes. He had made another breakthrough in his cultivation today.

Yao Guangxiao, who had just broken through to the second level of Soul Conceiving Stage, reminded Chu Mo, "My Lord, if you search aimlessly like this, even if you find this person, it will be too late. I think since this person was once assassinated by Shen Moqian, he will not show up openly. He will definitely hide himself. The less likely he is to attract attention, the better."

"My lord, you might as well think about who in the city is least likely to attract attention."
