Crack!
The sword shattered into dozens of pieces.
“This move is called Slashing Mount Sheburg. Who taught you this sword technique?”
Braydon Neal stood up once again and glanced at Jeremy Norton.
This person was related to the northern army!
The sword technique he used was something that almost all the senior martial artists of the northern army could use.
Later, Braydon became the commander and created the marquis-level northern army sword technique, replacing the old sword technique.
Until now, except for the disabled and retired veterans, only a few young soldiers in the northern army knew how to use this sword technique.
Therefore, Jeremy’s ident.i.ty was worth investigating further.
Steve Xavier quietly stepped back. Layne Geller did not dare to speak carelessly as he played down his own existence.
“My grandfather taught me!” Jeremy said decisively.
“Who is your grandfather?”
Steve asked.
Jeremy said in a low voice, “A blind and pitiful person. No one asked about him, and no one cared about him. All because of a single sentence from an old friend, he has been guarding River Village for decades and has never left the village!”
“A blind and pitiful person?”
Braydon frowned slightly; his hands clasped behind his back as he pondered.
He was thinking about the older generation of the northern army who was blind.
A person who could teach a genius like Jeremy was definitely not an unknown person.
It was very likely that he was the core hidden agent that his teacher, Finley Yanagi, commanded back then.
Too many of the older generation had lost contact!
After his teacher disappeared, these hidden agents became dead agents.
They acknowledged the golden Qilin but not the Northern King order.
Just like this generation of northern army men, like Luther Carden and the others.
If Braydon were to go missing in the future, do you think Luther and the other ruthless people would listen to the new army commander?
There was no need to think too much about the answer. Definitely not!
Every generation had their own grudges.
This generation of soldiers of the northern army swore their loyalty to King Braydon.
In this life, they only acknowledged Braydon!
Therefore, it was the same principle for the older generation to only acknowledge their teacher, Finley Yanagi-
Braydon had never blamed the older generation for that.
Back then, his teacher Finley Yanagi said that he had done right by Hansworth and its people, but had did not do right by the hidden agents of the north.
Braydon had inherited his mantle and had been wanting to recall these hidden agents all these years so that young people could take over their tasks.
Unfortunately, the two sides had lost contact until now.
Jeremy’s appearance caused Braydon’s calm heart to stir.
Who was this blind and pitiful person?
Under a banyan tree, Old Man Zito was resting with his back against the big tree. He was simple and unadorned, like an old man from the countryside. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp sword light flashed in his murky eyes.
Old Man Zito took a step forward and grabbed Jeremy’s shirt. He said hoa.r.s.ely, “Old man who is blind and hunchback? Left foot a little crooked?”
“Yes, sir!”
Even though Jeremy was being held by Old Man Zito, he remained stubborn as he responded.
A hint of excitement flashed in Old Man Zito’s eyes. He put down Jeremy and did not hurt him.
He turned around and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Young Master, he is a big shot. He…”
Braydon was calm, and he was neither anxious nor slow. He wanted Old Man Zito to calm down before speaking.
A moment later.
Old Man Zito’s eyes were slightly red as he said in a serious voice, “He is the guardian of the golden Qilin and the War G.o.d protecting Hansworth. He was once the prime minister of the country, bringing peace and blessing to the people of the world. He protected Hansworth with martial arts and was the founder of the Gray Wolf Army!
“It has been 50 years since the War G.o.d of Hansworth disappeared!”
Old Man Zito sobbed, “If this lord were here, how would those powerful and aristocratic families from forty years ago dare to murder 700,000 of our Ludwig army men?!
“Dominic Lowe’s talent is not even ten percent of this lord’s!” Old Man Zito held Jeremy’s grandfather in high esteem.
Then, who was this poor blind man?
Braydon had guessed it!
That was… The prime minister in black!
The legend of this big shot started fifty years ago.
He was only a third-level king, but he was able to suppress the entire capital palace.
The sects were forced to close their gates.
He made the aristocratic families pay tribute to him every month, and many of the heads of the powerful families were willing to be his dogs. This person was the black-robed prime minister, Barrett Yearwood.
He was still alive!
This news was probably not even known in the capital.
They only knew that Barrett had been missing for 50 years, and the ruler had yet to establish a new War G.o.d of Hansworth.
As a result, for the past 50 years, Hansworth did not have a War G.o.d!
All the powerful families, aristocratic families and sects…
The three great ent.i.ties had been aiming for this position for decades.
But the country ruler was unmoved.
Was a member of the three great ent.i.ties worthy of this position?
They were not!
At this moment, Layne quietly took out his phone, as if he wanted to report this matter to the capital.
The black-robed prime minister from back then was still alive!
In River Village!
Layne was holding his phone and had yet to send the message.
An invisible force slashed across his fingers like a knife.
The phone was split into two, and one finger was sliced along with it!
“Ah! My finger!” Layne screamed.
Blood gushed out from the severed finger, making one’s hair stand on end.
Heather Sage hugged Ginny Neal and covered Ginny’s eyes with her fair hands, not letting her see this b.l.o.o.d.y scene.
All of this was done by Braydon.
“There is some news that I don’t want the capital to know!” Braydon looked at Layne calmly.
Layne’s body stiffened, and he said in a trembling voice, ‘Yes, sir. This subordinate will follow your orders!”
“Summon the imperial guards of the Central Plains and seal this place!” Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly as he spat out a sentence.
Steve led the members of the Preston main team to guard the entrance and exit, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.
Actually, before the martial arts examination, all the phones of the examinees and their families had been confiscated.
They were wary of the family members using their phones to film everything about the martial arts examination. When the videos get leaked, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in society.
Ordinary people did not know that martial artists existed.
Those ordinary students who were attending the college entrance examination did not know about the existence of the martial arts examination.
They were from two different worlds.
Therefore, there was no need to share information like that.
Now that there was news of the black-robed prime minister, no one knew what was going on except Jeremy.
There must be a reason why the black-robed prime minister had disappeared fifty years ago.
Or perhaps they were doing something earth-shattering.
These things could not be known to outsiders.
Moreover, would the various powerful and aristocratic families in the capital allow Barrett to return to the capital?
Absolutely not!
Fifty years ago, Barrett was the prime minister.
One person suppressing the entire imperial court!
The heads of the powerful families were willing to be a dog under his feet.
The sects were forced to seal themselves up.
All the signs indicated that the people of the three great ent.i.ties would not be happy about Barrett being alive.
Once the news reached the capital.
Without a doubt, the three great ent.i.ties would definitely launch a surprise attack on River Village and make Barrett disappear from this world.
Braydon raised his left hand and pointed at Jeremy’s body, sealing all the major acupoints in his body to help him stop the bleeding.
At the same time, it also sealed his abilities!
Braydon did not fully believe Jeremy’s words.
An ordinary person suddenly jumped out and said that he knew where the War G.o.d who had been missing for fifty years was.
Do you think Braydon would believe him completely?
