After returning to his room on the third floor, Ji Tianxing took off his mask.
His expression was solemn and his heart was heavy.
He had expected that when the Red Star Flower bloomed, many forces would rush to the Tai Ye Mountain Range to snatch it.
However, he did not expect that there would be hundreds of martial artists gathered in an inn in Tai Ye Town.
These martial artists were basically at the True Energy Realm and there were even a few experts at the Seventh Level of the True Energy Realm.
There were a few martial artists at the Body Refining Realm, but they were all here to join in the fun and had no hope of snatching the Red Star Flower.
To Ji Tianxing, the martial artists in this inn were all potential competitors or enemies!
There were already so many martial artists staying in the inn. How many forces and martial artists were not staying in the inn and were hiding in the dark?
When he thought of this, Ji Tianxing felt his heart grow heavier.
When night fell, he sat cross-legged on his bed to cultivate after dinner and continued to condense the Sword Qi.
Although the number of Sword Qi had reached the limit, he absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth to make each Sword Qi more condensed and powerful.
By the time he had condensed and strengthened all twelve Sword Qi, six hours had passed.
In the middle of the night, the Lai Fu Inn fell into silence.
Most of the guests had already gone to bed. Only the main hall was still lit.
After Ji Tianxing finished cultivating, he walked to the window and was about to close it and sleep.
However, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of two silhouettes in the corner of the backyard. They were silently creeping about.
The two martial artists were dressed in black and seemed to be wearing masks. Their movements were very cautious and did not make any sound.
Although the night was dark, Ji Tianxing could vaguely see that the two men were carrying a big box and creeping to the back door.
The two men quietly opened the back door and carried the box out.
Ji Tianxing frowned and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He subconsciously went out of the room and crept silently toward the back door of the courtyard.
He was wearing a black cloak and a mask. He was not afraid of being discovered in the night.
When he reached the back door, he saw the two cultivators carrying the box and entering an alley along the courtyard wall.
In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he did not dare to get too close.
A moment later, two masked warriors carried the box into the depths of the alley, and carried it into a pitch-black room.
Then, the two of them withdrew and quietly returned to the Fortune Inn.
Ji Tianxing hid in a dark corner of the alley, holding his breath and not making a sound.
After the two cultivators left, he entered the pitch-black room.
The room seemed to have been uninhabited for many years. It was filled with a decaying smell. There were cobwebs everywhere, and the floor was covered with dust and debris.
Ji Tianxing searched in the dark for a while before he found the big box in a pile of firewood in the corner.
He tried to lift it, but the weight of the box was very heavy, as if it was filled with steel or stone.
Puzzled, he took out a match and lit it, using the weak light to check the box.
With just a glance, he frowned, and his eyes were filled with doubt.
The iron box was locked, and the lock was a palm-sized gear. It needed to be rotated to the correct position to open it.
Ji Tianxing was very familiar with this kind of box!
Because the Ji Family's forging workshop used this kind of box to store weapons and equipment!
He tried to rotate the black gear, and twisted it to the correct position. The lock opened with a "pa da" sound.
Ji Tianxing opened the box to take a look. Inside the box, there were more than twenty treasured swords with scabbards made of mermaid skin.
Mermaids were high level vicious beasts in the sea. The Ji Family's forging workshop would only use this kind of scabbards for Profound Grade treasured swords.
Ji Tianxing casually picked up a treasured sword, and examined the sword hilt. He saw the word "Ji" engraved on the sword hilt.
His face became even gloomier, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger. He looked at the patterns on the sword's blade.
The thorny flower pattern made him immediately conclude that this Profound Grade treasured sword came from the Profound Sword Workshop in the eastern suburbs of the Imperial City.
"It really is a treasured sword forged by my Ji Family! These twenty four Profound Grade treasured swords are worth more than a million taels. Why would they appear here? "
"Isn't the Profound Sword Workshop in the eastern suburbs under Second Uncle's control?"
Ji Tianxing's heart was filled with doubt. He felt that this matter was a little fishy.
In order not to be discovered, he put the treasured swords back into the box, and locked the lock again.
Then he extinguished the torch, and quietly returned to the Laifu Inn.
However, when he returned to the Laifu Inn, there were endless quarrels and curses coming from the main hall.
When Ji Tianxing walked into the main hall, he saw two figures fighting fiercely, and the clanging sound of swords clashing could be heard.
He understood after hearing a few words. It turned out that the inn was full, and there was only one room left.
Two groups of people just happened to arrive at the inn at the same time, so they quarreled over that room.
One of the groups was three youths from the Imperial City of Green Cloud.
The three of them were dressed gorgeously and had a noble aura. Naturally, they were proud and arrogant, and when they spoke, they were overbearing.
The other group of four came from the valiant Barbarian State. They were all dressed in beast-skin clothes, and all of them had full beards and braids. Their arms and chests were full of tattoos.
The leader of the four had a fiery temper. He did not care if the other party was a noble from the Imperial City, and just a few words would cause a fight.
The quarrel and fighting between the two sides woke up more than ten guests, and they all ran to the main hall to watch the show.
Ji Tianxing did not want to get involved in this kind of thing. He walked through the main hall and was about to step onto the stairs to return to his room.
Unfortunately, when the True Energy Boundary white-robed youth slashed his sword at the bald man with the tattoo on his forehead, the bald man's sword was fiercely chopped at.
Immediately, the sword that was flickering with a cold light changed its direction and went straight for Ji Tianxing.
The white-robed youth was already very close to Ji Tianxing, only five steps away.
This sword came out of nowhere and was as fast as lightning.
Although Ji Tianxing retreated in time to dodge, he was still unable to avoid the treasured sword, and his cheek was immediately slashed by the blade.
With a crisp "clang", the black iron mask on his face was cut in half by the treasured sword, and fell to the ground with a "clang".
Ji Tianxing's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
The white-robed youth and the bald man glanced at him, and without any change in expression, continued to fight.
However, the white-robed youth's two companions who had been watching the fight and cheering suddenly let out a cry of surprise when their eyes fell on Ji Tianxing's face.
"Yi! Isn't this … Ji Tianxing? Young Master Ji of the Ji Family? "
"Heh heh, as expected of the former number one genius, but now the great trash Ji! He can't even dodge the sword. If Young Master Ji's face is accidentally injured, we can't afford to pay for it! "
Obviously, the two noble youths knew Ji Tianxing, and saw through his identity on the spot.
