"Zhang Yan, do you think the Dragon King really wants to abdicate and make way for Xian, or is it hypocritical." Li Chuntian said to me like a seller.

I was stunned for a moment, recalling the look on the dragon king's face when he spoke, and I was a little uncertain in my heart. I asked, "What do you say?" Li seniors. ”

Li Chuntian said lightly: "It's hard to say, let's wait and see." ”

At this time, it was already late at night, and in the depths of this sea floor, even the light of the stars could not reach.

Li Chuntian sat down for a while and said to me: "Zhang Yan, I haven't been back for a long time, I have to go out for a walk, you should rest early." ”

I mumbled and said yes.

Li Chuntian walked out, I went back to the bedroom, sat down, and began to practice, I pulled the qi into the body, the barrier of the seventh layer of the main Xuan realm, I have already touched, as my combat experience continues to be enriched, the main vein is also constantly expanding.

The flow of the air engine becomes smoother.

I closed my eyes and concentrated, and finally when the first ray of sunlight reached the bottom of the sea, I broke through the barrier of the seventh layer and entered the eighth layer of the main Xuan Realm.

In the morning, I exhaled a lot of air, and my muscles and bones were loosened a lot.

Li Chuntian hadn't come back yet, I pushed the door out, and there was a servant girl standing outside, and the servant girl said to me respectfully: "Lord Zhang, breakfast is ready." ”

I hummed and said I was in trouble.

The maidservant said to me, "Master Zhang, this is what a slave and maid should do." ”

I didn't say much either, just sat down and finished my breakfast.

I'm here now, waiting for the Dragon King to summon me. The day passed like this, and Li Chuntian did not come back in the evening.

I entered the bedroom again, sat cross-legged and cultivated, and I also found that it seemed that in the Dragon Palace, it would be easier to cultivate, and the qi was constantly pouring into my body, and I was completely immersed in it.

But at this time, I suddenly heard a small sound on the roof, the house I live in, the roof is paved with glazed tiles, so go up, there will be a sound, but the sound is very well controlled, almost inaudible.

I kept pulling the qi, and the qiqi in the main vein in my body began to become full.

But at this moment, I felt a strong sense of crisis.

When I opened my eyes and looked up, I saw a knife stabbing at the top of my head from above, and the knife was flashing.

I quickly moved to the side, and a man in black appeared in my bedroom.

He slashed at me with a knife, his qi fluctuating.

There was a "bang", the knife and my big fish sword collided, and I took a step back, and he took almost three steps back. But he didn't give me a chance to catch his breath, and soon came at me again. One after another, the tables in the room were directly split in half.

"Die." He snapped back.

I slashed at my neck, and I moved, but he quickly withdrew his knife and went quickly towards my chest.

The time of the change was only a second, and the speed was very fast, and I didn't even react, but I subconsciously knew to protect the vital position, but the knife still stuck towards my shoulder, and the pain quickly spread all over my body.

The man in black probably saw that the blade was deviating from my heart, so he quickly pulled it out, wanting to attack me again.

But I didn't give him a chance, I kicked him in the chest, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground, and I pressed my steps up, and stepped on his chest, and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

He struggled, trying to get out.

Maybe seeing that he couldn't break free, the knife in his hand slashed at me again, I moved my steps to the side, and I broke his tendons with the big fish sword, and in an instant, he let out a terrible scream, and the knife fell to the ground in response. I kicked him out of the window and ran him over with a quick save.

"Do you say it or don't you say it?" My sword was around his neck.

"Even if I die, I won't." He replied stiffly. I just said, then I'll send you on your way.

Just as I was about to make a move, another killing machine attacked behind me, and I quickly turned around and protected the big fish sword in front of my chest. A crisp voice sounded, and before I could react, another killing machine struck on the left.

I was soon surrounded. A curtain of water was opened in front of me to keep him out.

There were people in front of and behind, left and right, they were dressed in black night clothes, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and their eyes looked extremely sharp, like beasts in the night, with the breath of death all over their bodies.

I took a cursory look, and there were six of them, and seven of them who had fallen to the ground.

However, the man in black on the ground is basically gone.

The six men surrounded me and quickly struck at me, swords, forcing me to retreat.

They obviously want my life, and the qi in my body is reacting.

I retreated to a safe place, so I took the initiative to attack, I raised the qi to the strongest, a sword slashed over, the qi machine surged, the man in black wanted to take my sword, but I was slashed by a sword.

Seeing this, the rest immediately took action.

"Unsheathed." The Silent Sword flew upside down from my back and slashed at them.

I'm going to break them one by one.

In the dark, the big fish sword was soon stained with blood, and a man in black fell in a pool of blood, I fought and retreated, but it was strange to say, there were patrolling shrimp soldiers and crab generals around here, but tonight it was surprisingly quiet here, and there was no one.

It seems that someone deliberately wanted to target me, sent a killer to kill me, and was able to transfer the shrimp soldiers and crab generals away.

I don't think there are many rights that can be done in the Dragon Palace.

The strength of these black-clothed people is not bad, and they are all on the fifth or sixth layer of the main Xuan Realm. If I had been before, I might not have survived tonight, but this is not the same as it used to be.

"Normalize." I let out a loud shout. The shadow of the sword returning from all directions released a brilliant light that dispelled the darkness in the deep sea.

Two more black clothes fell in a pool of blood, and at this time I was also stained with blood, and there were a few more bloody cuts on my body.

There were only two men in black left, and they looked at each other as if they were exchanging glances, and they both came towards me at the same time.

I used my sword to block the knife of the man in black who struck first, and then my fingers were clenched into fists, and I punched him in the abdomen, and it slammed through, and his body immediately flew upside down, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground and convulsed a few times, and then he stopped moving.

The other paused, his body seemed to tremble, he didn't dare to step forward, but he still waved his knife.

When he didn't come, I went over to him.

Seeing this, he turned around and ran back, I quickly chased after him, but his speed was very fast, and he was also very familiar with the terrain of the Dragon Palace, on the contrary, I had not been to the Dragon Palace much, so I was not familiar with this place at all, and I lost his trace after not chasing for long.

I had no choice but to turn around, but as soon as I arrived at my compound, I found that there were many more people in my compound.

At first glance, they are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

I put away the big fish sword and the Shen Sheng sword, and when the generals led by me saw me, they owed me a debt and said to me, "The lower officials have seen Lord Zhang. ”

I hummed and said, "You came just in time, just in time to take these people away and interrogate them to see who the murderer is behind the scenes?" ”

When the general saw that I was covered in blood, he asked me, "Master Zhang, are you okay?" ”

I said it's not a big deal, I'll just bandage it myself when I go back.

The general quickly said to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you go to ask Master Zhang for a doctor." ”

His men quickly answered and ran away.

"Lord Zhang, Xia Guan is the commander of the forbidden army guards of the Dragon Palace, Liu Yun, this time the guards are derelict in their duties, and I ask Lord Zhang to punish them."

I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, I'm fine." ”

"I don't know if Lord Zhang can cooperate with the investigation?"

I said of course.

These men in black were quickly taken away by Liu Yun, who said that he would come to me if necessary.

I hummed, and after a while, the imperial doctor of the Dragon Palace came, simply helped me bandage my wounds, and then retreated.

In fact, I already know who the murderer is in my heart, and the person behind this scene is probably the third prince. There was a faint sneer on the corner of my mouth, His Majesty the Dragon King hadn't announced who would be the Dragon King yet, so he couldn't wait to do it to me.

It's really breathless!

Silence returned to the courtyard, the smell of blood still wafting through the air.

Li Chuntian came back from outside. When he opened his mouth, he asked me, "How is it?" ”

I said to Li Chuntian: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to want me to die." ”

As I was talking, a person walked in outside, who was the close civil official of the Dragon King, and he opened his mouth to say to me: "Lord Zhang, His Majesty the Dragon King is invited." ”
