Chapter 454: Night of Trickery

"Undercurrent, Undercurrent, your fate seems to be entangled with me?"

Putting away the butterfly, Zhou Ming killed the Beast Soul Master Assassin in his hand, collected the spoils, and threw them into the undulating Baoyue River in the moonlight.

The assassin had received a signal from the previous two trackers and had come to deal with Zhou Ming. However, he was only an employee.

From this beast soul master, Zhou Ming still failed to get any clues about the culprit behind the scenes.

"Is it true that all the people who act on the surface are hired by professional organizations?"

Zhou Ming's heart sank slightly, and he felt the seriousness of the situation.

Who is the culprit behind the scenes?

Is it Prince Hai Longxiao?

Although Zhou Ming was very suspicious of him, he could not get any evidence to corroborate him. There is no doubt that Prince Hai Longxiao is the most suspicious.

Employers who want to hire so many outsiders to accomplish such a brutal thing are definitely not ordinary people.

As you can imagine, that employer must not be simple, at least very rich.

There may be a lot of rich people at this level in Shanhai City, but these things are obviously not something that can be achieved with money.

"Hai Longxiao, is that you? what the hell do you want to do?"

The thought flashed in Zhou Ming's heart, and he left here.

Prince Hai Long Xiao has already lost his power in an all-round way, and his power has been greatly weakened within the Shanhai Kingdom.

Will he sit still?

The answer is no. Prince Hai Longxiao will definitely not sink and give up. The entanglement with Zhou Tian School made him fall into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself, and paid an extremely heavy price.

But that's not the main battlefield.

His number one enemies have always been his brothers who have competed with him for the throne. The battle for the throne has always been his frontal battlefield. Everything else he tried his best to accomplish, including controlling Chixuan City, forming the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce, and controlling the Zhou Tian Academy, was just to increase his bargaining chips for his political purposes!

If all this was done by Prince Hailongxiao, then today's situation would be extremely dangerous.

Zhou Ming guessed down this path, and could see the madness of Prince Hailongxiao's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, which was clearly a crazy situation of letting go and fighting against the water.

So what gave him the courage to do so?

This is undoubtedly another question worth pondering.

The Mu family obviously couldn't give Hai Longxiao much help anymore.

His own power?

Zhou Ming also felt very hanging. When he was at his peak, he had never reached the point of being intimidating and invincible, let alone losing power in a very embarrassing way now.

So what else could it be?

The hired masters?

This is significantly more unreliable.

After all, those dark forces will not be on the table. If they want to rely on their strength to carry out a coup d'état, will Hai Longxiao be so naïve? Will the Undercurrent Hall and the Secret Rumors Society be so unwise? They are now the emperors of the dark world, so why should they jump on the stage and become the target of public criticism?

But if it weren't for these forces, what would Hai Longxiao rely on?

There is no doubt that the current Prince Sea Dragon Trumpet has lost ground and is low-key. He is no longer as arrogant as he used to be, and his whereabouts have become secretive. In recent years, Lei Qingfeng and his team have had a hard time gathering truly valuable information.

The thought in Zhou Ming's heart flashed suddenly, and he wandered quickly and silently like a shadow under the moonlight.

After a while, Zhou Ming came to the vicinity of Yuanyu Mountain and quietly walked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

Yuanyu Mountain is a quiet place, and there are really not many people in it. This mountain is just a small mountain, half lying in the water, shaped like a large turtle.

Zhou Ming observed for a while, and then left Yuanyu Mountain. Begin to approach Shanhai City from the other direction.

From there, there is a gate dedicated to royal travel. The city gate connected the palace area hidden in the mist, and it was inhabited by either the emperor's relatives or the central government.

If nothing else, the Sea Emperor and his entourage, nine times out of ten, will leave the city from here, and then arrive at Yuanyuan Mountain.

Zhou Ming knew that the main reason why he was attacked in advance was because he had discovered the tracker. The other party seemed to be afraid that something would go wrong, so he dispatched the master as soon as possible to try to solve the hidden danger of Zhou Ming.

If this is indeed the case, can it be inferred that the location of their action was chosen in Yuanyu Mountain?

The thoughts in Zhou Ming's heart kept flashing, analyzing the current situation from various clues.

If the other party chooses the place to do it in Yuanyu Mountain, then his intentions are simply obvious. Then, it must be certain that in the process of preparing for this secret meeting, there was a rumor leaking out of a certain ring.

The enemy's ambition seems to be to wipe them out?!

After leaving Yuanyu Mountain, Zhou Ming made sure that there was no one around, turned into a wild bird, flew up from the grass without a trace, hovered in the night sky, and gradually flew near the city gate.

He did not fly over that part of the city, for it was forbidden to be empty because of the beast array.

This is also the reason why Hai Youwei had to release the Blue Pole Haipeng King outside the city. If it is kept in the city, the Blue Pole Haipeng King will not be able to fly freely at all, and can only stay in the lair boringly most of the time.

Stopping at the very top of a tall tree, Zhou Ming's wild heart sensed it, and the scope continued to expand.

It didn't take long for Zhou Ming to discover the five Sea Emperor Heavens. At this moment, they have been carefully disguised, as if they were two people before. However, under the perception of Zhou Ming's wild heart, there is no difference at all.

They were really going to set out from this city gate, because relatively speaking, it was much safer to set off from here, at least there were fewer idle people around.

No one is stalking them!

This discovery surprised Zhou Ming and fell into a burst of doubt.

Is it just because of the name Zhou Ming that he caught a fish as he wished?

Zhou Ming felt a little incredible, and secretly sighed in his heart, the word "Zhou Ming" was too capable of pulling hatred.

Of course, he suspected that it was related to his contact with Hai Youwei, Haihuangtian and others. The person in the dark may not be killed by Wen Zhouming. In the world, the sea of people called Zhou Ming went. However, it is very rare to be able to have close contact with Hai Youwei, Haihuangtian and other "Zhou Ming".

So, in the end, he will be followed, so that he will be assassinated by the Beast Soul Master Assassin?

Although Zhou Ming felt that it made sense logically, he didn't dare to make a conclusion too early.

Because the induction of the wild heart is not omnipotent after all. So far, the Induction Beast Rider has been tried-and-tested.

Under this perception, like opening the eyes of the sky, all the existences below the beast soul master cannot be hidden.

But against the Beast Soul Master, the effect is not ideal. Just like the assassin before him, Zhou Ming couldn't sense him through the Wild Heart before he made a move.

Therefore, although it was found that no one was following Sea Emperor Tian and his party, the most terrifying situation could not be ruled out.

――What if the person who was watching them in the shadows was a beast soul master?

Zhou Ming just watched quietly and waited patiently. He knew that if the secret beast soul master existed, it would definitely not be just a voyeur.
