The accident happened too suddenly. From the warning from spiritual intuition to the attack, it took no more than one second. This meant that the enemy seemed to have planned it in advance and blocked the mysterious perception through some means.
Even with Chen Lun's power and full-level spiritual intuition, it was greatly weakened.
In a hurry, he knew that the priority at the moment was to ensure the safety of the prince, so he lifted up his windbreaker, as if grabbing a black steel curtain to block the broken wood chips and metal fragments around him, as well as the powerful shock wave.
Puff puff puff…
There was a constant muffled sound.
But just as Chen Lun was about to raise his hand to grab the prince's arm and use teleportation to take him away from here, a dazzling golden light exploded, and the powerful thrust accompanied by high temperature burning instantly blew him away!
Squeak…
Chen Lun thrust the silver cane into the ground and tried his best to maintain his balance, but he was still pushed back a distance by the shock wave and slid for dozens of meters.
The remaining green smoke rose from his body, making him frown. Fortunately, he had hell resistance and was extremely immune to high temperatures, so he was not injured.
Looking up, Chen Lun was stunned.
The road beside the Fire Pattern Square was in chaos. The crowd and passing carriages took detours to escape. Many imperial guards who were patrolling nearby rushed over after hearing the news.
In the empty space in the middle of the road, the remains of the carriage and the corpses of four horses were burning. Prince Dazlet stood there calmly, surrounded by five tall figures in golden armor.
The tops of the helmets of these five men were decorated with half-meter-long white feathers of unknown birds. White cloaks fluttered behind them, with an engraving of a sun face symbolizing the royal family. Each of them held a dazzling long sword made of light in their hands, and they exuded a terrifying aura all the time.
'Mythical power... These are the five Sun Saints!'
Chen Lun was secretly shocked.
Although he knew that the prince would be protected by powerful forces, he did not expect that they would be five saints... With such a terrifying protection, who in the royal city could kill him? !
At this moment, the prince was confronting a group of men and women wearing cheap linen shirts. There were twelve of them in total, and each of them had spots of light all over their bodies, and their faces were filled with solemnity and hatred.
'These assassins are all Sons of Light, the fifth-order extraordinary beings in the solar system...'
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
Through the investigation of life and death, he immediately learned the information of these people.
At the same time, he also noticed that there seemed to be a black sun tattoo on the back of every assassin's right hand.
'That pattern is the identity symbol of the 'Descendants of Light' in the Land of Matthew... These people all come from underground, and they are all members of the 'Sun Cross'! '
Chen Lun thought of the information he had obtained from Queen Kaplan and instantly connected the information together.
Just as he was guessing the purpose of these people's plan to attack the prince, the battle suddenly began. There was a crisp clanging sound, and a heat wave suddenly hit him in the face.
boom!
It turned out that among the five high-ranking knights guarding the prince, one of them turned into a shining golden light, suddenly moved in front of the attackers, and slashed directly with a sword.
This sword slashed with terrible force, like a tidal wave. The golden sword slashed across, making a sharp whistle and igniting the air, creating a circle of terrifying fire waves.
At the same time, the surrounding environment began to distort and fluctuate, as if the picture was covered with a layer of azure frosted glass, blurry and unclear... This was caused by a high-ranking knight beside the other prince. She raised her hand and emitted a hazy light, directly dragging the battlefield into the shallow layer of the spirit world.
Buzz!
The waves of fire were like ripples caused by a stone falling into a lake, one wave after another, even overlapping each other, instantly sweeping over the bodies of several assassins.
Their faces suddenly changed drastically. They wanted to use their sequence abilities to transform into light and avoid the fire. However, the fire wave had already rushed over. The four assassins were directly burned to ashes in the fire wave without even having time to scream.
The remaining assassins saw this and seemed to realize they had no way to escape, so they immediately decided to give it a try... The eight men and women spread their arms, raised their heads slightly, with fanatical yet somewhat sad expressions.
"Dazlet Trisul! You betrayed your brother in order to win the favor of the Sun King. Now you are acting recklessly and conducting a series of inhumane human experiments in the occupied areas, just to complete the so-called "Light Seed Project"... The Sun Empire and even the entire continent will repeat the "Earth Sinking Disaster" four thousand years ago. The world will fall into the Dark Ages because of you!"
One of the Lightborn shouted hysterically.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Their bodies glowed brightly one by one.
"Scorching sun!"
"The blazing sun!
”
They shouted, and beams of light descended from the sky, covering Prince Dazlet and the five high-ranking knights.
Those light pillars contained terrifying high-temperature energy, as if they could purify all the evil in the world, from the body to the soul.
"How can the sinners, blinded by desire and ignorance, know my great ambition..."
The prince had a calm expression, and was indifferent to the beams of light falling from the sky.
He just stood there with his hands behind his back.
"A tiny fluorescent light trying to kill the sun."
A high-ranking knight shrouded in golden armor said indifferently.
She raised the long sword made of light.
"The Holy Guards of Bathing Light will kill the enemies for the king."
"die!"
The two high-ranking knights beside him took a step forward and each swung a sword.
They slashed out with terrifying sword beams that shook the space, and flames seemed to fill the entire field of vision. Two blazing golden air waves crossed and pushed horizontally, instantly shattering the light pillars, merging them together, and turning into shock waves that crushed the remaining eight assassins.
Although they were dozens of meters apart, Chen Lun still felt a burning pain all over his body. His vision was whitish and golden, which was dazzling and difficult to breathe. He could not help but use his spiritual breath and five senses at the same time to adapt to the sudden change in the environment in time.
Only after he retreated for a distance did he feel better. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that the mythical power of the two saint-level knights was really terrifying.
The burning from the slashing lasted for nearly twenty seconds before this area in the spirit world slowly returned to its original state... When Chen Lun came to his senses, the assassins were already dead, and Prince Dazlet seemed to have no time to pay attention to Chen Lun. He turned his head and was instructing five high-ranking knights with a serious expression.
Buzz!
The surrounding vision slowly faded from the azure blue and returned to the real world.
The noise and bustle could be heard again. The main street was already blocked by countless imperial guards. Some curious onlookers crowded outside, looking in here curiously.
When they heard that the prince had been attacked, the residents in the central area were all concerned. Some of those who were dressed luxuriously even kept cursing the assassin. It can be seen that Dazlet has a very high prestige among the people.
Chen Lun calmed down, put on a new windbreaker to cover the burnt clothes inside, adjusted his hat, and then walked towards the prince.
However, he had just taken two steps when a golden light instantly moved across in front of him, and a golden sword was pointed straight at his throat.
When he looked up, he could only see the closed visor of the golden-armored knight, as if through the gaps there was a pair of indifferent eyes looking down at him.
"Stop, or die."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes, and immediately realized that these high-ranking knights had included him as a suspect of the assassin... After all, the prince was riding in the same carriage with him before the attack, so it was hard not to suspect that he was also involved in the assassination.
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind the high-ranking knight:
"Let him come. Jack can't be an assassin."
The high-ranking knight immediately retracted the sword of light, and with a hum, the sword turned into a golden light spot and dissipated. She turned slowly with her straight figure, touched her chest and lowered her head.
Chen Lun kept a calm expression as he walked past the knight and came before the prince.
Behind the prince, the other four golden-armored knights remained silent, standing still like tall statues.
"I didn't expect such a small incident to interrupt our pleasant conversation..."
Prince Dazlet chuckled and seemed not to care about the assassination just now.
He patted Chen Lun's shoulder gently and said approvingly:
"Although the accident came suddenly, I could see it clearly. I am very happy that you thought of protecting my safety at the first moment."
"As a member of the Imperial Inquisition, this is my duty."
Chen Lun lowered his head and said.
"We have just experienced life and death, so you don't need to talk to me as a subordinate for the time being... The carriage is destroyed and cannot take you back to the Kangkai Church District. I will let two 'Bathing Holy Guards' accompany you."
The prince spoke as if he were talking to a friend.
Chen Lun glanced at the four golden-armored knights behind him and thought to himself, it turns out that these saint-level knights who closely protect the prince are called the Holy Guards of Bath of Light.
The royal family's background is indeed extraordinary.
He shook his head and declined the prince's kindness.
"No need, Your Highness. This place is not far from the Kangkai Church. I can go back by myself."
Seeing this, the prince did not force it, but just nodded slightly.
Chen Lun bowed to Dazlaite again and said goodbye immediately.
But when he passed the layers of imperial guards and came to the outer road, he suddenly realized something and turned around to look in one direction.
In the crowd, a middle-aged bald man who was watching froze with anger, his eyes changed slightly, and then he closed his mouth, turned around and left silently.
However, during this process, the man seemed to have discovered that someone was watching him secretly, so he turned around and looked at Chen Lun.
The other party was obviously surprised, and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes, but he hid it well, shifted his gaze away, and continued to walk away as if nothing had happened.
Chen Lun was a little stunned.
The reason why he looked at this man was because of his ability of destiny... At that moment just now, he clearly noticed that among the people around him, the fate of one person suddenly changed drastically. This change was quite strange, as if a certain life trajectory suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
He was able to initially interpret the trajectory of fate, and he knew that this level of change was no different from this person dying on the spot and then being resurrected in an instant, completing a nirvana-like sublimation...
However, that man was just an ordinary man.
This seems very strange.
Thinking of the assassination that just happened, Chen Lun immediately came up with a reasonable guess:
'Perhaps the twelve assassins just now were not all dead... one of them used some means to revive through the bodies of the onlookers and escaped the inevitable death.'
Chen Lun couldn't be sure of this speculation, but he still kept it in mind.
The fingers behind his back moved slightly, and a part of the index finger disappeared out of thin air, and a pale scaly luster flashed on the back of the neck of the bald man who was walking away quickly.
He planted "snake parasite" on the other person's body.
Chen Lun was going to test it out before making a plan. If he guessed wrong, he would let the snake destroy itself. No one would know anyway. If he guessed right, it would be a great achievement.
After doing this, he calmly walked along the roadside back to the Kangkai Church area, holding his silver cane.

That night.
Chen Lun had dinner with his men. After listening to a tune played by Alex, he walked hand in hand with Flo Yin in the square of the church area.
The two of them bathed in the dim moonlight, the atmosphere was quiet and warm.
"I'm sorry, Flo Yin, I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to spare the time to spend with you."
"No need to apologize, my Lord."
Fuluo Yin smiled slightly and addressed him in a serious manner in an intimate tone. She raised her hand to tuck a strand of light golden hair that was blown by the breeze behind her ear, turned her head, and stared at Chen Lun quietly with her beautiful light purple eyes.
"I know you do all this for a peaceful life."
She mustered up her courage and moved closer, holding the arm of her beloved man with both hands. Flo Yin was a little absent-minded, and after a while she asked again:
“Can we live in peace?”
"certainly."
Chen Lun chuckled.
"I promised you that I would take you to see beautiful scenery you have never seen before. At that time, it should be just the two of us, without anyone else and without anything else to disturb us."
"Um."
Flo Yin raised her eyes and looked at him, joy filling the corners of her mouth.
The two walked quietly across the square. In the distance, only the Black Crystal Doll wearing a huge black cloak and the black cats of the Black Cat Warriors were patrolling silently.
The Black Crystal Doll ignored the two people in the square. Only the black cats stopped far away and saluted silently.
"Have you had that strange dream again recently?"
Chen Lun suddenly asked.
He originally just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Flo Yin nodded slightly.
"I hadn't had this dream for a long time, but it happened again two days ago. It was still dark, and that familiar voice kept repeating the same words... telling me not to go any further."
Chen Lun's expression became solemn.
He was now basically certain that this dream was very important to Floin. Perhaps it was some kind of warning from Lady Silence... or the Moon Goddess Margaret.
'What do you mean by don't go any further?'
While thinking, Chen Lun suddenly stopped.
Flo Yin on the side was a little confused.
"Someone came to visit..."
Chen Lun said softly.
A solemn look flashed in his eyes, because just now, the snake parasite he planted during the day suddenly lost contact... At the same time, a carriage drove into the Kangkai Church area.
"An enemy?"
Flo Yin's eyes became sharp, and the gentleness on her face gradually disappeared.
“Not sure yet.”
Chen Lun replied.
"But we'll know soon. Go and inform the others, but don't make a big fuss. You can meet this guest who came to visit me at night alone later."
Flo Yin hummed, then turned and left obediently.
Chen Lun adjusted his hat and walked towards the gate with his silver cane.
