After the Third Prince finished speaking, he stopped talking about this matter and got up to leave the study.
Qin Zheng understood what he meant and had a plan in his heart. He respectfully sent the Third Prince out of the City Lord's Mansion.
After the Third Prince left, Qin Zheng returned to the study and sat in front of the table. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Come in!"
One of the two guards guarding outside the study immediately walked into the study and came before Qin Zheng. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Sir City Lord, please give your orders!"
Qin Zheng ordered in a dignified voice, "Immediately send someone to investigate Ji Tianxing's whereabouts. Find out where he is as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir!" The guard did not say much. He quickly turned and walked out of the study to carry out the order.
Only Qin Zheng was left in the study and it suddenly became silent.
He frowned and his eyes flashed with cold killing intent. He muttered to himself, "He's just a commoner without an aristocratic background. So what if he entered the Emperor's Mansion?
Does he really think that after becoming the Emperor, he is unparalleled and no one dares to offend him?
This person dares to offend the Emperor and the Imperial Court. He really doesn't know what's good for him!
Since the Third Prince ordered me to act, I must get rid of this guy!
At that time, not only can I avenge Feng 'er, but I can also ask for credit from the Third Prince and the Imperial Court. My status will definitely rise by a lot!
As long as I do it well and the Imperial Court protects me, even the Emperor's Mansion can't do anything to me. Hmph! "
Speaking of this, Qin Zheng coldly snorted and secretly clenched his fists.
…
Half a day passed quickly.
Under the dark night, Qin Zheng sat in the dimly lit study and quietly waited for news.
After a while, a guard in black armor entered the study and came in front of him. He bowed and reported, "Reporting to the City Lord, I have the results of the investigation."
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and quickly said, "What's the situation? Speak quickly! "
The black-armored guard said in a low voice, "Reporting to the City Lord, that kid is still in the city. He is living in the Yunlan Courtyard."
"Yunlan Courtyard?" Qin Zheng frowned and said in a serious tone, "That is the property of Yunling Palace. The Yunlan Courtyard must be guarded by a large number of experts.
I didn't expect that kid to be related to the Yun Family and hide in the Misty Cloud Courtyard. "
Qin Zheng's expression was somewhat gloomy as he ordered in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on the Misty Cloud Courtyard day and night. You must keep a close eye on that brat!
I don't believe that he'll continue to hide in the Misty Cloud Courtyard. As long as he dares to leave that courtyard, I'll turn him into ashes! "
The black-armored guard immediately cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he turned around to leave.
But at this moment, another black-armored guard strode into the study and quickly walked in front of Qin Zheng. He respectfully reported, "Reporting to the City Lord, that kid just left the Misty Cloud Courtyard …"
Suddenly hearing this news, Qin Zheng was startled and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Hmph! This damned bastard, how could he be so arrogant and confident?
Since he has personally delivered such an excellent opportunity to me, how can I let him go? "
After sneering, Qin Zheng immediately ordered, "Immediately notify the few Revered Elders of the Revered Hall and have them begin to act immediately.
Tonight, I want to see Ji Tianxing's head! "
The two black-armored guards cupped their fists and accepted the order. They immediately left the study to pass on the order.
Qin Zheng stared at the dark night outside the window and sneered with resentment, "Hmph, even if that kid is a genius prince, he's definitely not a match for a few Sky Origin Realm Revered Elders!
After tonight, I'll have a meteoric rise and become the Third Prince's trusted aide! "
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a strong sense of expectation.
…
In Liantian City, under the dark night, the street lights were sparse.
The bustling street during the day had now fallen into a cold and silent state.
The entire Liantian City was in a deep sleep, quiet and serene.
Ji Tianxing walked alone on the street. His pace was as fast as the wind, and his figure was faintly discernible in the night.
At this moment, he was rushing to the Great Fortune Inn in the city, preparing to look for Ling Yi Xiong.
Yun Luo was still secretly investigating Ling Yi Xiong's background, but there were no results yet.
Ji Tianxing wanted to meet Ling Yi Xiong personally and test him again.
In addition, he left Yunlan Courtyard alone in the middle of the night with the intention of luring the snake out of its hole.
On the surface, it looked like he was rushing through the city empty-handed and defenseless.
However, in reality, Ji Tianxing secretly released his spiritual sense to cover an area of three hundred meters around him, monitoring the movements in the dark at all times.
After a quarter of an hour, he was passing by a dark bluestone road.
On both sides of the road were lush forests, filled with towering trees. In the depths of the forest, a few simple and unadorned houses could be faintly seen.
If it was during the day, the houses on both sides of the road could be called a quiet and secluded place.
However, in this dark night, the surroundings of the road were dark and deathly silent, appearing somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Ji Tianxing was shuttling through the dark night when he suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the bluestone road.
He looked at the dark night in front of him and shouted with an expressionless face, "Since you've followed me here, why don't you show yourself?"
His cold voice echoed in the night, containing a hint of contempt and mockery.
However, the surroundings were quiet, and not a single figure appeared within a thousand meters.
Ji Tianxing frowned, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer as he said, "Cowardly scoundrel, don't you find it suffocating to hide underground?"
As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly raised his right foot, channeled all of his power, and fiercely stomped on the ground.
"Bang!"
In the midst of a dull and loud noise, a majestic and mighty force fiercely blasted into the ground.
The flat ground within a hundred meters suddenly swelled like a wave, emitting a dull rumbling sound.
The flat and sturdy bluestone road was also shaken to the point that it twisted and folded, splitting into a dozen or so wide gullies.
In the next moment, several figures dressed in black flew out from the cracks in the ground and landed around Ji Tianxing with a swish.
Ji Tianxing scanned the area with his spiritual sense and saw that there were five assassins in black. They were scattered in all directions and had surrounded him.
The five assassins in black were all different in body shape and temperament. There were old and young, male and female.
However, they all had one thing in common, which was that they were all at the first level of Sky Origin Stage.
Two of the stronger ones were a tall and sturdy man and a skinny woman. They were both at the second level of Sky Origin Stage.
Ji Tianxing was surrounded by the five Sky Origin Stage cultivators, but he didn't change his expression at all. He was still calm and composed.
He even looked around and glanced at the five Sky Origin Stage cultivators, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer.
"Hehe, your master is really looking down on me!
How dare trash like you try to assassinate me?! "
