The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 351 The Young Singer's Journey 20

"Why did you send Dark River to kill you?" Wuxin asked, frowning.

The way he looked at Xiao Yu was as if he were looking at a lunatic.

Xiao Yu looked back calmly, his tone still composed, but his words were filled with murderous intent: "That's because I want to eliminate Dark River."

When Mu Mingce was in power, the Dark River was still somewhat restrained and could still follow the imperial court's orders.

After Mu Mingce's death, Su Changhe, Su Muyu, and others actually joined forces to kill Yi Bu, allowing the Dark River to break free from the control of the imperial court and become completely independent of the martial arts world.

Xiao Yu didn't care whether Yi Bu lived or died; what he cared about was that the Dark River had actually broken away from the imperial court.

In his view, the Dark River was nothing more than a dog kept by the imperial court. The court had poured all kinds of resources into feeding it to this point, but it turned around and bit the court. It was simply a rebellion against the heavens!

Emperor Mingde was incompetent and could tolerate such things, but Xiao Yu could not tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.

"That's the Dark River! The number one assassin organization in the martial arts world, its strength is unimaginable. If you want to eliminate them, you can simply mobilize the imperial army to encircle and annihilate them. Why choose this method?"

Wu Xin was getting a little frantic. Ever since he met Xiao Yu, he had been unable to maintain his composure.

It seemed that every word and action of Xiao Yu could precisely tear apart his disguise and easily disrupt his calm mind.

The armor he had spent twelve years forging for himself began to crack in just a few days, revealing the flesh and blood beneath and exposing his true self.

Xiao Yu said calmly, "If the Dark River were so easy to wipe out, the imperial court would have taken action long ago. They have already become a force to be reckoned with, and even the imperial court has no choice but to tacitly acknowledge their existence. Sometimes, they even have to try their best to win them over."

"Then why are you so determined to eliminate the Dark River? If you want to increase your own merits in this way, wouldn't it be simpler to win over the Dark River's support?" Wuxin pressed.

Xiao Yu suppressed his smile, his gaze becoming unusually sharp.

In fact, if Anhe had chosen to live a quiet life in the martial world after breaking away from the control of the imperial court, he wouldn't have gone to all this trouble.

However, after killing Yibu, Dark River did not disband and go into hiding. Instead, its ambition grew even larger, and it even claimed that it could kill royal relatives in court and destroy powerful families and factions in the countryside.

The Dark River has now completely lost its bottom line and is becoming increasingly reckless in its actions.

How could Xiao Yu tolerate such a restless underground river continuing to grow stronger?

not to mention--

If the original owner's memories are correct, Anhe once attempted to assassinate Xiao Ruofeng.

This makes it even more important not to keep them!

Xiao Yu spoke slowly, his tone tinged with coldness, "The Dark River is no longer the Dark River it once was. Rather than trying to subdue them, I prefer to eliminate them."

"Oh! I see!"

Wu Xin took a deep breath, smiled at Xiao Yu, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said crisply, "Farewell!"

Having said that, Wuxin leaped up and nimbly tumbled off the carriage, then flew away.

Xiao Yu shook her head as she watched his retreating figure. Instead of being anxious, she remained calm and sat in the carriage, even leisurely picking up some pastries from the plate and eating them with relish.

Before he had even finished eating the pastries in his hand, he saw Wuxin, who had already gone far away, rushing back in a great hurry.

With a hint of anxiety in his expression, Wuxin shouted loudly at the carriage, "Come out and help!"

Xiao Yu leisurely finished the last bite of pastry, elegantly brushing the crumbs off his hands. Then, he slowly reached for the car door, feigning surprise, and said to Wuxin, "Eh? Didn't you leave? Why are you back all of a sudden? Did you leave something behind?"

Wu Xin narrowly dodged the attack from behind, looking somewhat disheveled, but he refused to back down verbally: "Thank you for your care these past few days, benefactor. This humble monk has specially 'delivered' the Dark River that you've been longing for."

Xiao Yu pointed a finger at Wuxin a few times, and said with a hint of teasing, "You little monk, you really are quite the chatterbox."

Wuxin swiftly and steadily jumped into the carriage, looking at Xiao Yu with a smile in her eyes, and urged, "Benefactor, hurry up and collect your 'big gift'."

Xiao Yu glanced at Wuxin with a half-smile, while Wuxin met his gaze without fear, his eyes carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

At this moment, the assassins from the Dark River had completely surrounded the carriage. Xiao Yu only glanced at them casually, but he already knew the level of these assassins.

“Five Free and Unfettered Realm experts and twenty Free and Unfettered Realm experts.” Xiao Yu shook his head slightly, his face full of displeasure, and said, “Dark River only sent so few people. Who are they trying to intimidate?”

Moreover, there are so many people in the Dark River, yet he only sends a few people at a time, and he's so stingy with the number of people he sends. When will he be able to clean up all the people in the Dark River?

Wu Xin, upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, finally couldn't help but glare at him, secretly thinking to himself: Five assassins at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, plus twenty assassins at the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm, this lineup is already quite impressive, yet this guy still complains that there aren't enough people?

How many carefree realms are there in the entire world?

but……

Wu Xin couldn't help but wonder to himself: Just what level of cultivation does this guy have?

That day, he severely injured Uncle Mo and Uncle Yu Ji with just one move. Now, facing five assassins from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, he is equally disdainful.

Could it be that he has already stepped into the realm of half-divine travel?

But when Yong'an Prince Xiao Chuhe entered the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm at the age of seventeen, he was already a rare genius in the world, and he is still talked about by people all over the world.

But Xiao Yu is only nineteen years old now, how could he possibly reach this level?

If he has truly reached the half-step Divine Realm, wouldn't his talent and strength far surpass those of the Prince of Yong'an back then?

Why was such a brilliant talent previously unknown and unsung?

When people mention the Crimson King Xiao Yu, the first impression that comes to mind is: the Crimson King Xiao Yu is ignorant and incompetent, and is destined to achieve little in the future.

How can there be such a big difference between the true strength of the same person and the rumors circulating outside?

Could it be that Xiao Yu had been deliberately hiding his strength all along?

But if that's the case, then he's been hiding it way too well.

Or is it that the royal family's situation has become so dire that they need a master who is halfway to the Divine Realm to so carefully conceal his strength?

I didn't bother to furrow my brow or ponder; my heart was filled with mixed feelings, a feeling I couldn't quite describe.

never mind!

Now is not the time to think about these things. We should hurry up and figure out a way to deal with the assassins in the dark river right in front of us.
