As soon as the powerful Heavenly Punishment Whirlwind Sword Formation broke, the assassins suddenly fell into chaos, this was the only means they relied on to fight with Ye Fan, losing the opportunity to join forces to fight the enemy, and they were unable to fight with Ye Fan in close combat under the chaos.

"Bing Yin-!"

Ye Fan didn't waste any opportunity, his figure took a step and disappeared out of thin air.

"--Combo Slash!"

Then, it suddenly flashed ten feet away, and a flash of golden light erupted, and the mammoth imperial knife attacked the nearest few black-clothed assassins.

No one could resist his onslaught, no one could catch up with his unpredictable ice stealth footwork.

In an instant, several Assassins tried to resist, and collapsed in pools of blood.

"Withdraw!"

The Assassin leader's face changed slightly, and seeing that the opportunity to continue the siege had been lost, he immediately shouted to retreat. As an assassin, he was proficient in the art of escape, a wind system escape method, and in an instant, he flashed out one or two hundred feet away.

The more than a dozen Assassins who were still alive immediately abandoned the battle and fled, each performing their own strange escape techniques, rushing to the houses on both sides of the main street, and quickly escaping with the help of the difficult terrain.

It's not that they can't continue to fight Ye Fan.

Just because, this is the main street of the imperial city, and it is only more than ten miles away from the palace, and a large number of city guards and even the Praetorian Guards will arrive at any time.

Their chances of attacking are only ten breaths, and no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, they must retreat as soon as the time comes.

Otherwise, when the Royal Guards arrived, they were afraid that they would not even have a chance to escape.

Gu Xinyue raised her bow, and it was another trick of the Water Moon God Hidden Bow, and a special "tracking arrow" shot into the back of the heart of the assassin leader who had escaped seven or eight hundred zhang away.

The leader of the assassins did not expect that he had escaped so far and was also attacked by fierce attacks, and he screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and desperately fled into the complicated alleys of the imperial city.

Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue didn't chase after them, and they didn't seem to mind the group of assassins escaping, and the six waited for the Praetorian Guard, or City Guard, to appear in the same place where they were attacked.

...

Bang, bang...!

At the same time that the black-clothed assassins scattered and fled, in less than ten breaths, a small team of more than ten Royal Janissaries flew in, faster than the city guards.

The team leader is the eldest grandson Dehao, the Royal Praetorian Guard who has fought against Ye Fan in the Void Arena.

This main street is very close to the palace and was originally a fringe area for the daily patrols and guards of the Royal Guard.

When the royal guards saw Ye Fan standing with a bloody knife in his hand, as well as several black-clothed assassin corpses on the ground, they couldn't help but be shaken and looked at each other.

When the eldest grandson Dehao saw that it was Ye Fan who was attacked, his face couldn't help but change several times.

He was defeated by Ye Fan, almost lost face, and naturally had no good impression of Ye Fan. He wished that Ye Fan would be attacked.

But Ye Fan was attacked, this was a major event involving the government of the Zixuan Dynasty, and it was not something that he could cover up as a leader of the Praetorian Guard.

"These assassins are so bold and reckless that they dare to assassinate the commander of our imperial army on the street in broad daylight, only more than ten miles away from the palace! Brother Ye, I will immediately order my brothers to track down their origins, and the whole city will want this group of assassins, and never let them escape!"

The eldest grandson Dehao couldn't help but be angry on his face, and he arched his hand towards Ye Fandao.

Ye Fan is not an ordinary martial artist without official titles, he was personally appointed by the Son of Zixuan Heavenly Son as the head of the Mammoth Regiment of the Zixuan Dynasty, even if this corps is only an empty shell at present, he is also one of the important ministers of the Dynasty.

Ye Fan's assassination will definitely shake the Zixuan Emperor's government and opposition in a short period of time, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Immediately, several Royal Guards scrutinized the bodies of several black-clad assassins on the street.

However, they shook their heads at the eldest grandson, Dehao, and found nothing.

They are all strange martial kings, without any identity marks and imprints on their bodies, even their Xuan soldiers are the most common blades, and there is no refiner's name and mark on the Xuan Weapon, and I don't know where the workshop created it.

The eldest grandson, Dehao, couldn't help but have a headache.

It seems that this group of assassins has been prepared for a long time, and all the clues have been cleared, and it is difficult to trace the origin of the assassins.

This is also normal.

Assassinating the only legendary martial king of the Zixuan Dynasty on the street, the commander of the mammoth corps hand-picked by the Zixuan Emperor, this group of assassins would definitely not dare to reveal their origins, otherwise it would bring ruin to the forces behind them.

If evidence is found directly on the Assassins, it is likely to be forged in an attempt to harm others.

"We went to the Princess's Meitai Banquet, and as soon as we came out of the palace, we were ambushed by the Assassins on Bento Street. The news of this group of assassins is also well-informed enough, they are simply hand-eyed, and they even have information in the palace!

I believe that His Majesty would never want to see that there are people in the palace who dare to collude with the assassins. Brother Lao and Brother Sun will lead the team, follow me to arrest people and see who is behind the scenes! Your Majesty will ask about this matter, so that you can give Your Majesty an explanation. ”

Ye Fan's face was cold and cold.

Such a coincidence must have something to do with the people in the palace. But it was definitely not instigated by Zixuan Tianzi, Princess Ji Rouyu and others, so there was no need for this.

Among the suspects, especially You Chujie and his group of state religion forces who participated in the Meitai banquet are the most suspicious!

You Chujie and others proposed to fight for wine!

All the martial kings were drunk, which led to the early end of this year's Meitai banquet.

Otherwise, if there was no such thing, he and Gu Xinyue would not have left the palace alone at this time. The Assassins were unable to pick this perfect moment to carry out the assassination.

These are enough reasons to suspect You Chujie.

And You Chujie also has enough motivation, he doesn't plan to join the Zixuan National Sect yet, You Chujie plans to strike first and get rid of himself first, lest he join the Zixuan National Sect and become the second personal disciple of Pope You Xingchen, threatening You Chujie's status in the Zixuan National Sect!

However, without evidence, he could not categorically accuse this group of assassins of being assigned by You Chujie.

Those children of the family who attended the banquet were also suspicious, but the suspicion was relatively weak.

"These assassins are dead, and they are fleeing. Brother Ye knows where the assassin fled?"

The eldest grandson Dehao's face jumped, but he was surprised.

"The leader of the assassins has been seriously wounded, bleeding profusely, and he will definitely not be able to escape far, and he must find a safe place to heal! ”

Ye Fan's expression was indifferent and he didn't say much.

Together with Gu Xinyue, he came to the place where the assassin leader was injured seven or eight hundred zhang away.

The leader of the assassins was hit by a heavy arrow from Gu Xinyue, leaving a lot of dark black blood on the ground.

Gu Xinyue has been diligently cultivating bow combat skills recently, and in addition to various combat skills, there are also many arrows for various purposes that have been prepared.

The arrow she uses is not an ordinary Darkiron Arrow, but a special "Tracking Arrow" designed to track wounded enemies.

The triangular diamond-shaped arrow has a cross-shaped barb with a complex shape, and once the arrow penetrates into the flesh, the barb will immediately pop out, and it will not be pulled out at all in the forward and reverse directions, and a large amount of blood will flow out along the triangular arrow.

The blood dripping on the ground naturally makes it difficult to hide its tracks, and it will reveal the whereabouts of its escape.

Unless the arrow and the whole piece of flesh around it are dug out, it is possible to stop the bleeding.

However, this will only make the injury more serious, causing the Warrior King to lose most of his combat effectiveness. It has to be in a very safe place to do so.

What's more troublesome is that the arrow is highly poisonous, which quickly spreads throughout the body in a very short period of time, which will bring extremely strong side effects such as dizziness and paralysis to the enemy, which will make the opponent unable to escape far, and cannot escape for dozens of miles.

Knowing that the arrow was poisonous, the leader of the Assassins would eagerly seek the safest place to hide, and use all his might to expel the poison and heal his wounds and save his life.

Such an assassination operation must have been well planned, and various methods of absconding had been prepared for a long time.

And such a hasty move can easily expose the mastermind behind the assassins.

Because of this, Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue saw that the assassin leader was hit by an arrow, so they were not in a hurry to chase after him, and let the assassin leader flee to a safe hiding place.

The two waited for the Royal Janissaries and City Guards to arrive, and together they "chased the murderers" and traced down the assassins.

"Go! He's running away over there!"

Ye Fan sniffed the smell of blood and said.

Along the way, drops of blood from the Assassins can be found.

The leader of the assassins fled in a panic along the way, for fear that Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue would hunt him down, and there would be no time to cover up the bloodstains that did not drip along the way.

Moreover, the poison in his body attacked very quickly, and his mind became extremely drowsy, and he could only flee for his life with all his might, and he did not have the ability to clean up the traces behind him.

The eldest grandson Dehao was a little helpless, so he could only follow Ye Fan to chase the murderer.

This assassination case is very bad, if the pursuit of the culprit is not effective, and you will be sued by Your Majesty, I am afraid that these royal guards will be severely punished.

...

After more than ten breaths, Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue, and the eldest grandson Dehao and other Praetorian Guard warrior kings chased several streets and tracked them down to an alleyway, outside a luxurious mansion.

The last drop of blood, outside the courtyard walls of this mansion, then disappeared completely. If nothing else, I'm afraid that the assassin will be unable to hold on and escape over the wall.

The Assassin wasn't inside, just go in and search.

This huge luxury mansion is somewhat low-key, and does not have any house number that marks its identity.

However, owning a luxurious mansion in the imperial city is definitely either rich or expensive, either a noble family or a big power background.

No matter how low-key the owner is, everyone knows that the owner of such a mansion cannot be easily offended.

Ye Fan didn't care what kind of noble family he was, he dared to assassinate him on the street, even if it was a royal prince, he was about to step forward and break the door.

Even the Son of Heaven can't stop it.

Otherwise, there was no need for him to stay in the Zixuan Dynasty.

"Brother Ye, slow down!"

The eldest grandson Dehao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly drank it.

"What's the matter? The people in here, even your royal guards don't dare to search for them?"

Ye Fan's face sank.

"It's not... At the feet of the Son of Heaven, except for the palace that needs His Majesty's hand, there is no Praetorian Guard who does not dare to investigate. ”

The eldest grandson Dehao's expression was a little strange, and he said, "However, this is the headquarters of the Purple Phoenix Sect in the Imperial City, and the envoys and elders of the Purple Phoenix Sect live in it... If it was really an assassin instigated by the Purple Phoenix Sect, how would Brother Ye deal with it?...? If Brother Ye didn't have this preparation, it would be better not to enter this door. ”

"Where is the headquarters of the Purple Phoenix Sect in the Imperial City?!"

Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue's faces couldn't help but change.

Could this assassin have something to do with the Purple Phoenix Sect? The Purple Phoenix Sect wants to kill him?!

Ye Fan's face was pale and gloomy, "If it's really an assassin sent by the Purple Phoenix Sect who wants to take my life, don't you think I dare to turn my face against them?!"

He slapped it out.

"Boom!"

The large bronze door of this mansion was slapped open by him with a palm.
