The night was dark, and the small courtyard where the chores room was located was silent, and in one of the dark bedrooms, Bian Yao, who was originally meditating with his eyes closed on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Although something went wrong in the process of assassination, and the target person Duan Tianliang was not injured, in fact, this did not have much impact on the result that Bian Yao wanted. If those people in the palace were not stupid, it should be easy to find out that the person who was really going to assassinate was Duan Tianliang. Now it is only necessary to wait for the palace to investigate the matter, and then suspect the identity of the "assassin" on himself.

After thinking for a moment, Bian Yao lay down on the stacked quilt at the head of the bed and sighed. This operation did not go smoothly, and accidents happened one after another. It's okay to kill the wrong person before, after all, the goal has been achieved. In the original plan of the Night Corpse, he was able to ensure that he was valued by the King of Fury by relying only on that mysterious dream that could not be detected by anyone. If there was no accident, Bian Yao would not have revealed his ability to use the dream clone, which can be regarded as a means of saving his life, or it can be said to be an extremely heavy bargaining chip! In the process of escaping after the assassination, he originally planned to hide behind the rockery to get out of the sight of those guards, and then release the dream clone. Unexpectedly, at the last juncture, a guard manager appeared in the sky, and an enchantment would empty his plan.

However, if the mood is unhappy, it is not happy, Bian Yao knows very well in his heart that accidents are always inevitable. After a long sigh, he slowly calmed down and began to seriously think about what he was going to face next.

Bian Yao couldn't guess what kind of action the palace would make, everything could only be improvised, he decided to play the rest of the play as well as possible, and pull the results of the incident to the original plan or advance.

There is only one connecting door between the front and back of the Nu Mansion, but there is no one guarding the only entrance and exit. Because if you want to enter the back house, you must hold a special jade plate, otherwise you will be blocked by the trigger barrier set up at the door, so you don't have to worry about someone sneaking into the back house from the front house.

The head of the guard, Qian Yunai, is a mid-stage dream king, commanding all the guards in the palace, responsible for the security of the former mansion, directly obeying the orders of the Nu King, and also obeying the orders of the first worshipper of the palace, the Jade Face Venerable, and has a special jade plate that can freely enter and exit the back mansion. In addition, it also controls all the hidden enchantments of the former mansion and can control them at will.

Soon after the "assassins" escaped from the barrier, the deputy head of the guard arrived upon hearing the news and directed his men to search for them in the front house.

Coming to the outside of the Fengzun Palace, Qian Yu stopped, stood up straight and shouted respectfully towards the door of the hall: "Chief Guard Qian Yu, report to His Holiness if you have something!"

I didn't hear a voice coming from the hall, but I saw Qian Yu suddenly nod his head and walked into the hall.

On the spar ground at the end of the main hall, there is a black stone futon, under the reflection of the luminous stone, it can be seen that an old man with a white face and black robe is meditating on it with his eyes closed, and the old man is naturally the first worship in the palace, the jade-faced Venerable.

"Come to me at this time, but what's the matter?" asked the Jade-Faced Venerable, his tone so light that he didn't even open his eyes.

"Venerable Venerable!, an assassin infiltrated the Western Courtyard, presumably to assassinate a guard named Duan Tianliang, but when he fled to Yingyue Lake, he was trapped by me with an enchantment, only to find out that it was only a dream clone. Qian Yu lowered his head slightly and replied unhurriedly.

Hearing the words of the chief guard, the Jade-faced Venerable slowly opened his eyes, "Someone used a dream clone to sneak into the palace to assassinate a guard?

"Only one person was seriously injured, and there was no fear of his life! I have asked the guards about the situation, when Duan Tianliang and another guard were drinking in their room, when they heard someone knocking on the door, the guard got up and went to open the door, but he didn't think that the door was just half a foot open when he was stabbed in the chest by a sudden sword, fortunately he didn't touch the vital point and picked up a life! Since Duan Tianliang lived in that room, and the stabbed guard only went to drink by chance, I guessed that the assassin was originally going to kill Duan Tianliang. ”

"It's already strange for a Dream King to use his doppelganger to infiltrate the palace and assassinate a guard at the expense of a lot of spiritual power, but the assassination operation actually failed, which is even more unusual!

"With all due respect! I don't think that assassin is a doppelganger of a Dream King!According to the chasing guards, no matter from the speed of his escape or the inference from his body, he can't be a Dream King, at most he is only at the realm of early Dream Mania! And from the sound of his voice, he doesn't seem to be very old, never more than twenty years old!" The tone of the head guard sounded a little strange, as if he was also a little skeptical of what he said.

The Jade-Faced Venerable raised his brows and was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke: "The voice is not true, that person may have deliberately changed his voice to confuse you and achieve his ulterior purpose. With your current realm cultivation, if you use your dream clone, how long can you maintain it?"

"Even if the spiritual power of the main body is exhausted, it will not last for more than an hour, and it will last for three moments at most. Qian Yu was stunned for a moment after answering, and then hesitated: "What does Venerable mean?"

"Although there are very few people who can condense a dream clone in the dream madness realm, no one can maintain the existence of the clone for more than a hundred breaths. So for the dream maniac, even if he learns the doppelganger technique, it has no effect. Just like the eldest prince, although he can also condense a dream clone, he can only support about forty breaths. The dream clone technique is actually only useful for dream cultivators in the Dream King and above realms, but even the early Dream King can only maintain the clone for about a quarter of an hour. ”

Speaking of this, the Jade-Faced Venerable sneered, stood up from the futon, and said, "Let me ask you, even if the assassin's body is outside the gate of the palace, from the time he infiltrates the palace, until he has to be released after being trapped by you, how long is this period?"

"This ......" After a moment of silence, the head of the guard said, "Roughly calculated, it's at least five minutes, maybe it's more than that!" Although he was still covered when he was trapped by the barrier, until he disarmed his clone, I didn't see any signs of spiritual weakness in his words and eyes. But if it's really a dream king's clone, then his speed when he flees is inevitably too slow. Could it be that he hid his true cultivation and deliberately slowed down his speed when he fled? It seems that there is no reason at all, and there is no need to do so. ”

"Did that Duan Tianliang offend anyone outside, or did he do something bad that hurt heaven and reason, and was heinous?"

"Probably not. These guards don't have a chance to leave the palace almost all year round, and even if they do occasionally go out on errands, they are not alone, and if anything happens, I'll know for sure. ”

After listening to the answer of the chief guard, the Jade-faced Venerable was silent, walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, turned his head and said, "First of all, it doesn't matter if that Duan Tianliang has really done anything extremely evil, or who he has offended outside. Assuming that the assassin infiltrated the palace to kill Duan Tianliang, how did he know which room Duan Tianliang lived in? Have you thought about this? Maybe the assassin just picked someone at random, and it happened that the room where Duan Tianliang lived was chosen, which is also possible. ”

Qian Yu's expression was slightly sluggish, his eyebrows were slightly thoughtful, and he spoke: "Maybe that assassin is someone from the palace, so there is a way to know Duan Tianliang's bedroom." The assassin had been covering his face with a black cloth, probably because he was afraid of being recognized, could it be the two worshippers who had just been recruited into the palace......

"No! The deity has been staring at those two people, and they have been buried in the worship courtyard since they became worshippers, occasionally discussing and exchanging ideas with other people. In the enchantment net I have set up, no one can sneak out of the worship courtyard without my detection!" Venerable Jade said coldly, a little pride appeared on his pale face, as if he was very unhappy with the questioning of the head guard.

"In any case, the timing of this incident is somewhat coincidental, only a month before the Spring Festival. Since the two newcomers have been ruled out, there is another possibility, among those newly recruited subordinates, maybe someone used the secret technique of concealing dreams to avoid Liu Lao's detection. ”

"That's impossible!As far as the deity knows, in the entire Dream Immortal Continent, the secret techniques that can hide dreams can be counted with one hand, and those secret techniques only exist in rumors. With a few words, Venerable Jade Mask denied the speculation of the head of the guard.

Qian Yu hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said: "This kind of thing has never happened before, it is obviously strange, and his subordinates think that they should let the prince know about it as soon as possible?"

"Whether you want the prince to know or not, the deity has his own judgment. The Jade-Faced Venerable shook the sleeves of his robe, sat back on the futon, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is full of suspicions! For the time being, it is not clear the true purpose of the assassin, so there is no need to disturb the prince's retreat. Just in case, I'll stay in the back house all the time. If you have any suspicion or suspicious person, report it to the deity. ”

"Obey the order! Subordinates retire!" Qian Yu no longer hesitated, bowed to the jade-faced Venerable, turned around and withdrew from the Fengzun Palace.
