Chapter 61: Exploring the Palace
Sheng Tian and Feng Qianlan looked at Dong Hanyun and the three of them in disbelief. Xia You actually disappeared?
Dong Hanyun nodded, frowned, and said, "We haven't been able to find anyone since noon, and now it's almost evening, he estimates that he is more than lucky!"
Mu Hong'er said angrily: "It must have been the second prince who did it! I'll go and arrest him now!"
"Don't!" Dong Hanyun pulled Mu Hong'er and said, "Let's not mess with ourselves first, don't talk about Xia You's ability, if you save your life, you are definitely better than any of us, he won't be in danger of life, he should just be trapped." Shengtian, let's talk about what you have heard first. ”
So, Sheng Tian told the third daughter the news they had bought from the Tianjilou branch. Dong Hanyun pondered for a moment and said, "Since that senior said so, then Xia You is likely to be caught by the second prince." However, this doesn't make sense? The second prince is in the royal city, they can't have the ability to control Xia You in an instant, there will definitely be a fight, how can there be no movement?"
"Unless he's attracted to something and carelessly hits it. Or he left the royal city. At this time, Zuo Bin suddenly came in.
Mu Hong'er's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Great! Brother Zuo Bin is here, now Brother Xia You is saved!"
Zuo Bin walked over and said, "I was invited by the Minister of Finance Xie Tianhao to his house today, and he sent me a plea for help. ”
"Hmm, what's going on?" were all surprised.
Zuo Bin said: "He said that his elder brother, General Zhendong, accidentally let a group of people from the Bayan Empire smuggle into the country, which is a big crime to kill the head, so they have been hiding it from the king." He begged me to help them get rid of that group of people so that they could live. ”
Shengtian frowned slightly, and said, "If that's the case, then it makes sense why these demon clan spies entered the Great Xing Kingdom but no one knows." So, did Xie Tianhao say anything else?"
Zuo Bin squinted his eyes and said, "He said that he suspected that these demons were colluded by the second prince, but there was no evidence." ”
Shengtian said: "The boss of the Tianji Building branch said that the second prince sent assassins from the Dark Front Hall to assassinate the third prince half a month ago, but the third prince said that it was the demon clan who assassinated him. Unless, both of them have done it!"
Zuo Bin nodded and said, "So, we have to go to the second prince's mansion!"
Dong Hanyun's eyes were sharp and said, "If anything happens to Xia You, I want his life!"
In the middle of the night, Shengtian and the others sneaked into Tai Shuyu's mansion in night clothes to see if they could find Xia You. Tai Shuyu's mansion was very tightly guarded, and several people finally avoided the guards outside the mansion and climbed over the wall into the backyard, and there were even guards here.
Fortunately, these guards are just some high-level warriors, and a few people acted separately and easily knocked the guards in the corners of the backyard unconscious. It was almost impossible to enter the house through the back porch, and they found a vacant room and prepared to enter the house directly through the window.
Zuo Bin went into the empty room first, and after confirming that it was safe, he beckoned the others to go in as well. When they entered the empty room, they stuck to the door and listened to the movement outside the door, and about every five minutes a group of guards passed by.
Zuo Bin said in a low voice: "Shengtian, I heard that your soul power is very good, you can perceive the surrounding situation." ”
Sheng Tian slowly probed his senses around, and he didn't feel anything unusual until he reached a radius of thirty meters. "It's okay, it's just that the guards are very tight, and the second prince is resting in a room in the direction of the upper floor, protected by four Venerable Beings outside. ”
Zuo Bin nodded and said, "Didn't you sense that Xia You wasn't here?"
Sheng Tian shook his head helplessly, and said, "Most of this mansion is within my perception, but I haven't found Senior Brother Xia, is it possible that Senior Brother Xia is not here?"
Zuo Bin pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's stop here, if we continue to go deeper, we will probably alarm those Venerables, we only have Hanyun here who has reached the Venerable, and we may not be able to deal with it." "Yes, Dong Hanyun broke through to the Venerable Realm with the help of the Spirit Gathering Array after the trial, and Xia You and Zuo Bin are both half-step Venerables.
didn't find Xia You, several people were a little frustrated, but no matter how frustrated they were, they could only leave here for the time being, if they were all planted here, then no one would be able to rescue Xia You.
A few people quietly jumped into the backyard again, and a low voice suddenly came from the shadows in front of them: "Are you leaving so soon?"
Several people's pupils shrank sharply, and they were shocked into a cold sweat, especially Shengtian, he didn't sense that there was someone here at all just now! But there was a person here! The others were too, this time they still jumped in after Zuo Bin jumped to the backyard to confirm safety, but they didn't know that there was a person here until that person spoke!
How strong this person must be!
Sheng Tian's whole body tensed, and he said in a low voice, "How did you hide so well!" The person in front of him is very powerful, and they are most likely not opponents, so we must find a way to divert his attention so that we can find a chance to escape!
The man in the shadows said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that some of you actually had soul power reached the primary realm, and I was almost discovered by him just now." But unfortunately, I'm a Sage-level assassin who has also reached the primary soul!"
The soul realm of the Five Flames Continent is divided into four realms: primary, intermediate, advanced, and god-level, which are equivalent to the mortal realm, the Xuan realm, the earth realm, and the heavenly realm of cultivators.
Listening to that person's words, several people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Sage-level assassins, those are not ordinary sages, assassins are much stronger than others in the same realm! They can only find a chance to escape!
The man suddenly disappeared into the shadows, and a chill hit his heart, and several people hurriedly looked around back-to-back. In this silent darkness, there was only the sound of everyone's breathing, and a chill. Shengtian and they were all drenched in cold sweat at this time, they knew that the assassin would make a move at any time, and once he made a move, it would definitely be a killing move!
Sheng Tian hurriedly begged for help from the Sacred Heart: "Broken thing, can you know the location of that assassin?"
The Sacred Heart said helplessly: "It's useless for you to call me, I'm just equivalent to a Venerable-level soul now, he is a Sage-level assassin, even if there is a Void Flame Realm here, it may not be able to find him out!"
", hurry up and find a way! Otherwise, it's going to be cold here today!"
Sacred Heart was silent for a moment, and said, "There are still methods, what the assassins rely on is nothing more than the assassination technique of concealment ability and one-hit killing." You try to protect the vital point first, and he won't rush to attack if he is not sure that he will kill with one blow. ”
When Shengtian heard this, he immediately asked everyone to protect the vital point, and sure enough, the chill did not continue to rise, but tentatively approached one of them, looking for a flaw.
The Holy Heaven asked the Sacred Heart again: "And then, what else?"
"Hmm...... Take out the spirit crystal, the flow of aura caused by the spar absorbing the surrounding aura can be felt by you, and that flow will bypass his location, so that you can find him. ”
Sheng Tian hurriedly took out a few spirit crystals and accelerated the speed at which the crystals absorbed spiritual energy. An aura vortex gradually formed, and Sheng Tian could clearly feel that the aura around him was flowing slowly, and there was a place at the edge of the vortex that was bypassed by the aura. The Holy Heaven transmitted his perception to the past, but he couldn't confirm that it was a person, just a shadow!
What a clever means of concealment!
The shadow seemed to be aware of Shengtian's investigation, so he quickly changed his position, and Shengtian also stared at it. The shadow moved for a moment, then stood still.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my concealment methods to be discovered by a grandmaster-level child, it seems that I am old. ”
A deep voice suddenly came from all directions, and the Holy Heaven knew that this was what the shadow said, but when he was close to him, he couldn't tell that the shadow was the source of the sound.
"There are assassins!
One of the guards who had been knocked unconscious suddenly woke up, and he immediately called out when he sensed that something was wrong.
The low voice sounded again: "Well, it's okay, I can't reveal my identity, so let these people in the mansion deal with you." Immediately after, a chill came, and the Holy Heaven did not dare to act rashly, so they could only wait for those guards to come over.
There are four more powerful auras coming this way, and they are the four Venerables who protect Tai Shuyu. Shadow saw that the four Venerables were coming and withdrew from this area, but the Holy Heaven still didn't dare to move, if that assassin suddenly came back, then they didn't want to leave!
The four Venerable Ones were the first to come, and they jumped into the courtyard and blocked the way of the Holy Heavens, while a large number of guards surrounded the Holy Heavens and them from behind.
Mu Hong'er hurriedly said: "Why don't we leave yet? Kill it directly! It's too late if you don't hurry up!"
Zuo Bin said: "Don't act rashly, that assassin doesn't know if he's gone, and if he's not careful, he'll be wiped out!" In his opinion, those four Venerables are nothing, but that Sage-level assassin is different, and now I'm not sure if he really left, so I have to guard against it! If he didn't leave, a few of them would fight with these guards, and the assassin would really be wiped out if he came to attack again!
At this time, Tai Shuyu rushed over with two venerables, his eyes were sharp and he looked at the Shengtian people, and said, "Who are you!"
Seeing that the Holy Heaven was silent, Tai Shuyu sneered and said, "You are sent by my third brother, right?
"Yes!"
The four Venerables moved first, they all used swords, and their strong fighting qi exploded, and their breath locked on the Holy Heaven and several people. One of them swung out with a knife, and a green sword qi slashed towards the Holy Heaven and several people. Dong Hanyun picked up his sword, and an ice blade flew out with a thud, shattering the sword qi and continuing to fly towards the Venerable.
The Venerable slashed the ice blade with a sweep of his sword, and said, "Everyone, pay attention! These people are very strong!" The rest of the Venerables all clenched their weapons and stood firm in lunges, Dong Hanyun's strength could be said to have shocked them.
On the roof of the palace, there were two shadows quietly watching what was happening in the backyard, and the people below were unaware.
A young man's voice came from one of the shadows: "Protector, why don't you kill Feng Qianlan?"
A deep voice came from another shadow: "After all, she is a member of the Five Flames Academy, and if we kill her here, we will definitely be tracked down by the Five Flames Academy." Don't worry, there's a chance!"
"Okay, then let my stupid sister live for a while!"
