"Thanatos, is it? It's been a long time since someone called me by that name."

The man in the black robe fighting Yang Yan... no, it should be said Thanatos said somewhat nostalgically.

"Although you are the captain, surely your other team members are also not nobodies, right? Can you tell me your purpose for coming to Huaxia?"

Yang Yan looked at Thanatos and said in a deep voice.

"Purpose? Sorry, I really can't tell you that. However, you truly surprise me! Not very old, yet your strength and experience are remarkable."

"Ever since a kid from Huaxia obtained the name Moonlight, some of them have been discontent and said they would kill you. But now it seems everyone underestimated you."

Thanatos said sincerely.

"Can't say?"

Yang Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly lifted his head:

"Since you won't tell me, I can only figure it out myself."

With those words, the Mo Saber in Yang Yan's hand vibrated fiercely, beginning to emit a dazzling silver light.

Just as Yang Yan was about to make his move, a sword light shot toward Thanatos like lightning from afar.

In this critical moment, Thanatos evaded the sword light with an extremely strange posture.

"Oh? This sword light... it seems that old fellow from Huaxia is here."

A man in a black robe frowned and said.

"So what if he is? Just an old fellow, we kill him."

Someone beside him immediately sneered disdainfully.

"Old fellow? Which of us isn't an old fellow? If we really compare, that guy doesn't even count as a grandson before us, right?"

Another person agreed wholeheartedly.

"Hey! Anubis, why do you always have to contradict me? Did I provoke you? Or should we find some time to have a proper duel?"

The first man in a black robe grumbled discontentedly.

Just as Anubis was about to speak, an unassuming old man had already arrived.

He stood quietly on a flying sword, floating in the air and looking at the several black-robed men.

Along with the arrival of the Sword Immortal, there were three men and one woman.

When Lv Jian saw these three men and one woman, he immediately smiled and teased:

"You came quite quickly today!"

"Lv Jianren, quickly tell us, what exactly is going on here? Explain first."

One of the men in the group of three men and a woman stepped out, his face solemn.

"The one fighting with Moonlight is Thanatos. The one standing on the far left in a black robe appears to be Anubis. As for the other three, it's still unknown who they are."

"Also, it's unclear what their purpose is for coming to Huaxia. As for those people in the back, they are rebels of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the ones over here are from Dragon Tiger Mountain."

Lv Jian said concisely.

"Thanatos? Anubis? Are they both gods from foreign lands? What are they here for?"

The woman stepped out and said.

"Ningning, why are you here? You're not a combatant."

Lv Jian looked at the woman, seemingly puzzled.

"What? Do you have any objections to my being here?"

The woman called Ningning pouted unhappily.

"Um... no."

Lv Jian seemed somewhat afraid of this woman.

Moreover, the fear seemed even more intense than when facing Zhiyuan.

"Ningning, why are you here?"

Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown and asked.

However, in stark contrast to her earlier attitude towards Lv Jian, Ningning walked over to Zhiyuan's side, affectionately linking her arm and said:

"Recently, a strange fluctuation was detected here, but no matter what, we can't figure out what it is."

"So, the higher-ups sent me here to figure out what the fluctuation actually is, and then write a report on it."

"Fluctuation? What fluctuation?"

Zhiyuan asked puzzledly.

At that moment, a chilling aura suddenly radiated from the bodies of the black-robed individuals.

Seeing their expressions, Lv Jian and the other three men also tensed up.

Swish, swish, swish!

The three of them each drew their weapons.

Everyone knew very well that a bloody battle was about to ensue.

"Zhiyuan, take Ningning and leave first; things here might not be so easily resolved."

One of the men said coldly.

"Captain Han..."

Hearing the man's words, the woman called Ningning was about to say something but was interrupted by others.

"Ningning, listen to Captain Han. These folks aren't simple. You and Zhiyuan leave first and report what's happening here to the higher-ups, so they can prepare for what's coming."

Another man quickly added.

Hearing the words of the two men, Zhiyuan also understood that their opponents were truly strong.

At the very least, they had already prepared for the possibility of dying in battle.

Even though their combat strength was commendable, they were still somewhat inferior compared to those black-robed figures.

Staying here with Ningning would only become a burden.

Not only would they not be helpful, but they would also distract others who would have to protect them.

Thinking this, Zhiyuan bit her silver teeth hard, grabbed Ningning, and turned to leap toward the center of the Imperial Capital.

"You all better survive. Lv Jian, remember you owe me a favor; you better not die."

Hearing Zhiyuan's words, they smiled but said nothing.

The Sword Immortal at this moment was also coldly watching the four black-robed figures.

The aura emanating from them was truly frightening.

Judging by this aura alone, any one of them might have the ability to fight against him.

"Haha! Moonlight Emperor, is this all you've got? Although it's quite impressive considering your age, with just this strength, I fear you may not be worthy of the name Moonlight in my view!"

Thanatos said casually while swinging his scythe.

"Has no one told you that you talk too much?"

Yang Yan sneered, using his Mo Saber to deflect the opponent's attack with an upward sweep.

"Can't help it, rarely getting to come out and always indulging in our own cultivation. It's rare to meet a worthy opponent, so it's natural to be a bit chatty."

Thanatos didn't get angry at Yang Yan's retort.

"Ah!"

Yang Yan suddenly sighed, then said:

"Why did you guys only arrive now? If you were any later, I would have unsealed and killed these folks."

As Yang Yan finished speaking, a male voice suddenly sounded from the side:

"Can't be helped, the traffic in the Imperial Capital is truly a headache, plus there are so many people. It took a long time to find a secluded spot."

Hearing the sudden voice, Thanatos fiercely swung his scythe toward the direction of the voice.

With a crisp "dang," Thanatos' scythe was once again forcibly blocked.

Seeing this, Yang Yan smiled slightly, turned his hand to put away the Mo Saber, and then instantly teleported away from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside the Sword Immortal.

"How many of your ten swords have returned?"

The Sword Immortal asked solemnly.

In front of the four black-robed figures, four figures, radiating a strong fighting spirit, appeared out of thin air.

"Except for the two still out on missions, the rest have all returned."

Yang Yan smiled slightly.
