Why do I seem to have taken the protagonist's script as a villain?

"You bunch of trash, what's the use of keeping you!"

A sharp shout came from the city lord's mansion, interrupting the silence of the night, followed by a series of sounds of smashing objects.

The soldiers patrolling around the city lord's palace trembled when they heard the noise, and quickly lowered their heads and continued to patrol forward.

My lord has not been so angry for a long time. It seems that the people who are with him today are going to be unlucky again...

------

Unlike the peaceful scene of lights on the street outside, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion was in a mess at this time.

The surrounding incense burners and lamps were knocked to the ground, and various smash marks were left on the walls.

The beautifully arranged 'sand table map' in the center of the room was also completely destroyed at this time. Several of the guards had been cut off for a long time, and the guards who looked frightened before they died were lying beside them covered in blood.

The entire hall was filled with a strong smell of blood, but the man sitting at the head of the table kept drinking the wine from the glass without paying any attention.

In his cold eyes, it seemed that everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

.......

Li Hao was very annoyed now. Ever since the so-called Feng Xia came, everything was beyond his control.

Not only did none of the dead soldiers he sent out to collect intelligence come back, but even the spiritual alliance he had carefully planned was controlled by the other party.

That's right, the existence of the Spiritual Alliance was actually allowed by him on purpose.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this Zhuque Pass, Li Hao's words were almost as clear as his words.

That being the case, how could he allow a force to continue to establish and develop in his territory, and let it become the so-called second force in Guanzhong?

To put it bluntly, this spiritual alliance was actually founded by a few of his confidants, and its role was only for two points.

One is to balance some small forces in Guanzhong, maintain the stability of Guanzhong, and help him deal with some unclean things.

The second is to continuously attract outstanding talents to serve the second prince.

So although this force does not have a leader on the surface, secretly the leader is actually Li Hao.

But just today

His confidants actually told him that the Spiritual Alliance had a new leader, and he was still from Feng Xia's side!

"Ali, I need an explanation." Thinking of this, Li Hao looked to the dark corner with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Well, sir, I'm sorry, I don't know..."

A group of black mist slowly appeared in the corner, and then a burly humanoid figure gradually condensed out.

"Don't know?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became serious. Although Ali was not very smart, he was still a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage. How could he be in such a situation where he didn't know everything about it?

"Please tell me carefully about today's situation." After thinking for a moment, Li Hao decided to first listen to what happened today.

The black shadow was silent for a moment, as if recalling everything that happened today, and then slowly said:

"Today is the spiritual alliance's monthly internal competition. It is also for the purpose of selecting talents that can be used by the second prince..."

"I know all this, let's just talk about the specific things today." Li Hao waved his hand after hearing this, indicating that he would focus on the key points.

........

"Originally everything was normal, but in the middle of the competition, a young monk named Wang Tian who was in the Qi refining stage suddenly broke into the competition and clamored to conquer the Tianmeng."

Speaking of this, the black shadow suddenly paused.

For some reason, even now, he doesn't feel much disgust towards the man named Wang Tian. Instead, he admires him inexplicably in his heart.

"Continue!" Li Hao became a little impatient. He was not a particularly patient person, and now he just wanted to know about that Feng Xia.

"Yes, sir," the shadow continued quickly:

"Later, that young man continued to challenge various masters in the Spirit Alliance, and then directly defeated several elites from the Sky Alliance with one against ten!"

"In the end, I was even prepared to challenge the hall masters of each hall one by one..."

When the black shadow said this, the expression of appreciation on his face became more intense.

Wang Tian's fighting skills at that time were very similar to his. They were all of a style that could defeat all enemies with one force. This was also one of the things about the opponent that made him very satisfied at the time.

"It sounds like Wang Tian is a pretty good prospect." Li Hao couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

Although most of the Spirit Alliance are casual cultivators, these people also have some special skills. If Wang Tian can defeat so many people by himself, he must be very strong.

This kind of talent was enough for him to find an opportunity to take him under his command and serve the second prince.

Of course, the premise is that the other party is not a rebel...

"Continue." Li Hao's originally gloomy face suddenly softened a little when he thought that he was about to have another strong general beside him.

"Just when the young man reached the first entrance of the challenge, His Highness Feng Xia and the others arrived.

At that time, his subordinates also immediately arranged for the dead servants arranged in the spiritual alliance to swallow a large amount of violent energy pills, so that their cultivation levels would skyrocket to the level of foundation building in a short period of time.

But...those people were still defeated by a little girl from His Highness Fengxia..."

"Little girl? You guys really make me look good." Li Hao sat leaning on his seat and took a sip of his drink.

But the half of his face hidden in the shadows looked a little penetrating.

The dead warriors he had worked so hard to train could lose so completely even after taking a lot of violent energy pills, which made him a little annoyed.

"What happened next? My spiritual alliance was taken down just like that?"

"What were you doing?"

Li Hao glanced at the dark shadow in the corner and suddenly sneered.

"No, my subordinates were planning to take action directly!" Sensing the displeasure of the person above, the black shadow quickly explained

"But at that moment, the young man named Wang Tian suddenly stood up and challenged the little girl, and defeated her within ten moves."

"But when I challenge another book boy..." The shadow paused as if he was thinking about what to say.

After a long time, he continued to speak slowly, "He was originally at a disadvantage when he challenged another book boy, but suddenly the spiritual energy in his body surged, and he was actually preparing to forcefully enter the realm of foundation building!

The early stage went smoothly, but when he reached the last step of gathering energy, something happened. The spiritual energy in his body suddenly became violent, and he was knocked unconscious on the spot..."

"And when my subordinates saw this scene, they didn't know why. They suddenly lost consciousness for a moment. When they came back to their senses, Her Highness Fengxia had already taken over the Spirit Alliance..."

"Originally, my subordinate wanted to continue taking action, but I remembered that you said you could not let the opponent die in Zhuque Pass, so I immediately retreated with the remaining dead soldiers."

After the black shadow finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence, only the sound of the people above drinking was echoing.

After a long time, Li Hao suddenly opened his eyes, "You should immediately go find Bai Shan, the commander of the ancient White Tiger Kingdom.

Tell him that there is going to be chaos at Zhuque Pass, and he will know what to do next. "

"I understand!" The black shadow nodded, and the figure disappeared into the corner again, leaving only Li Hao in the entire hall. "

----

Li Hao, who was sitting above, nodded slightly and frowned, drinking one glass after another.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. Judging from the situation described by Ali, there was a master behind Feng Xia secretly helping her.

"Did that old guy Feng Ling arrange it..." There was a hint of doubt in Li Hao's eyes.

Just

The ancient phoenix seal from the Suzaku Kingdom is about to appear. Legend has it that the one who wields the phoenix seal can conquer the world. Now as long as he helps the second prince get this thing, he can return to the capital and be crowned king and prime minister.

Instead of staying in this remote place all your life until you die...

If anyone dares to hinder him at this critical moment, he will definitely make the other party pay the price!
