The Immortal Taoist Chapter 4

"Grandpa Jiang, why do you think my royal father hasn't returned yet?"

The fifteen year old Ling Dao was already 1.7 meters tall. Wearing a beautiful robe, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and his eyes were like stars. Unfortunately, his face was extremely pale, with a hint of sickness. Of course, all of this was caused by the countless sword Qis in his body.

More than a year ago, the King Carefree broke into the Celestial Dragon Forbidden Area and has yet to return. Celestial Dragon Forbidden Area was a danger zone, where entering would mean certain death. If it were not for Ling Dao, King Carefree would not be willing to go to Celestial Dragon Forbidden Area.

It was rumored that within the Celestial Dragon Forbidden Area, there were all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and there were even supreme divine medicines that could bring one back from the dead. The King Carefree was naturally clear of Ling Dao's situation. After all these years of trying, he couldn't cure Ling Dao, and the only thing he could do was try his luck at Celestial Dragon Forbidden Area.

When Ling Dao was five years old, the King Carefree's Concubine rushed back to his parents' home, wanting to find a way to cure Ling Dao. It was a pity that she never returned after he left, and he still hadn't returned even now. When Ling Dao asked King Carefree what the reason was, his face was dark and he didn't say anything.

Right now, standing in front of Ling Dao was an armored Great General, who exactly was Jiang Zhong. Don't look at how Jiang Zhong was only in his forties, he was actually already seventy years old. It was only because of his foundation in the martial way that he was able to maintain his forties.

"I don't know when His Highness will return, but I firmly believe that His Highness will have his own destiny. Nothing will happen to him!"

If not for the King Carefree, Jiang Zhong would have died in the wilderness, the King Carefree had saved his life, and he would have been promoted to the top position step by step, becoming a famous general. Jiang Zhong was naturally extremely grateful to the King Carefree, and he even saw Ling Dao as his own junior. Ling Dao watched as Ling Dao grew up, and since Jiang Zhong didn't have any grandchildren, he had long since regarded Ling Dao as a relative.

Not long after the King Carefree disappeared, many people started to move. But because of the dignity of the King Carefree, he did not dare act rashly. However, the King Carefree had already disappeared for more than a year. They all felt that the odds were against them, so they could naturally take action.

After all these years, the King Carefree had naturally offended many people. When he was here, no one would dare to make a move against the King Carefree Palace. After all, the King Carefree was too overbearing, opposing the King Carefree was simply courting death. Even the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty did not dare to offend the King Carefree.

had long ago committed a great taboo because of his great achievements. When he was here, royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty could only swallow his anger. Now that the King Carefree had disappeared for more than a year, the Emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty was naturally trying to destroy the King Carefree Palace. However, since the King Carefree had rendered meritorious services to the Great Luo Dynasty, the emperor naturally could not brazenly make a move.

It was late in the night of the same day that the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sins surrounded the King Carefree Palace. If it was in normal times, such a commotion would definitely wake up everyone in the King Carefree Palace. But tonight, even Ling Dao was still in deep sleep.

"c.r.a.p, there's a problem with the dinner!"

A strong Ranker like Jiang Zhong could still maintain his consciousness, but ordinary people couldn't do it. There was a knockout drug during dinner. Since Ling Dao's body was weak, he naturally couldn't resist it. Only the many guards in the King Carefree Palace could still fight.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it must be someone from the Duke Palaces who betrayed us!" "b.a.s.t.a.r.d, the prince is so good to everyone, how could they do this?"

While the guards were cursing, the a.s.sa.s.sins in black rushed into the manor. These black clad a.s.sa.s.sins were well-trained, and each of them had extraordinary skills. With just the Palace's current guards, there was no way they could block it.

Blood splashed all over the ground as the a.s.sa.s.sins slaughtered the guards in the mansion. Someone had already informed the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty, but unfortunately, the royal family didn't have any response. Even a fool would know that the royal family would not help the King Carefree Palace anymore.

"Quickly protect His Highness the Crown Prince! The manor could be destroyed, but his highness mustn't let anything happen to him! Come, you guys follow me and escape with His Highness the Crown Prince! "

Jiang Zhong brought eight strong guards and rushed towards the room that Ling Dao was in. Fortunately, nothing had happened to Ling Dao and he was still in deep sleep. Without saying a word, Jiang Zhong carried Ling Dao on his back.

"Go, all of you follow me and fight your way out!"

Such a huge disturbance naturally caused Ling Dao to blurrily open his eyes. Unfortunately, he was completely powerless and did not even have the strength to speak. Looking at the huge battle happening outside, Ling Dao instantly understood what was happening.

"You want to escape with Crown Prince Xiao Yao? "In your dreams!"

One by one, the black clad a.s.sa.s.sins rushed over, Jiang Zhong snorted in anger, tied Ling Dao onto his back, and then brandished the blade in his hand, he began to fight with the a.s.sa.s.sins. The sound of weapons colliding could be heard.

"General, take His Highness and leave quickly. Leave these a.s.sa.s.sins to us!"

"That's right, the Prince has shown us a great kindness. Even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, we cannot let anything happen to His Highness!"

"What are you still standing there for?" Hurry up and bring his majesty away! "

The eight guards were all bathed in blood as they battled. Even though blood was pouring out, they did not care at all. Jiang Zhong glanced at them, and in the end, could only nod his head helplessly. He was not afraid of death, but Ling Dao definitely could not die.

After summoning his own war horse, Jiang Zhong mounted it and rushed out like a madman. Ling Dao could vaguely see the eight guards risking their lives to stop the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sins, even if their bodies were covered in wounds, as long as they still had a breath, they would firmly hug the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sins.

"Clang!"

From afar, a black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin suddenly rushed over. His silver sword reflected a cold and gloomy light under the moonlight. Jiang Zhong's reaction was extremely fast, the blade in his hand fiercely welcomed it. The violent clash caused Jiang Zhong's war horse to retreat a few steps.

Jiang Zhong frowned, a sinister aura rising up to the sky. After battling in the battlefield for so many years, quite a few ghosts had died under his hands. He brandished his saber again, and abruptly repelled the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin. He did not keep fighting, but instead urged his warhorse to gallop.

"Jiang Zhong is here, quickly open the gates!"

At this point, he understood that only by escaping the capital would he have a chance at survival. If he stayed in the city, it was likely that Ling Dao would not live for long. This time's matter, the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty would definitely not be out of this matter.

"Creak!"

Very quickly, the city gates opened, and Jiang Zhong rode his horse out. Just as he rushed out of the city, Jiang Zhong saw a group of a.s.sa.s.sins dressed in black. This group of a.s.sa.s.sins had been waiting outside the city, and they were obviously ready to use it second hand.

Jiang Zhong snorted angrily as he started to fight with the black clad a.s.sa.s.sins. Originally, Ling Dao could vaguely see a bit of it, but when a black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin fiercely kicked his body, Ling Dao fainted completely.

"Your Highness!"

With a cry of surprise, Jiang Zhong's attacks became even crazier. Fortunately, he had activated his armor, otherwise, he would have died on the spot. What happened afterwards, Ling Dao did not even know.
