Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were hiding in a dark corner outside the manor.
The three of them secretly observed for a while. The manor was still dead silent, and there was no trace of light or shadow.
Ji Tianxing was worried about Yan 'er's safety, so he decided to take action.
He instructed the young secret agent, "You stay here and keep a lookout outside the manor. Be ready to help us at any time."
The young secret agent cupped his hands and bowed. He used his spiritual sense to send a voice transmission.
After that, Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao restrained their auras and quietly sneaked into the dilapidated manor. They moved towards the depths of the manor.
Both of their movements were light and cautious. They did not make any sound.
After 15 minutes, both of them passed through the ruins and arrived at the depths of the manor. They arrived outside a huge black palace.
This palace was the main hall of the manor. Although the walls were covered with cracks, the entire palace was slightly tilted and looked like it was about to collapse.
However, Ji Tianxing detected that this palace was protected by the Heaven Origin Grand Formation, and there were martial artists' auras in the palace.
Not only that, but there were also three gloomy and dark True Origin fluctuations hidden in a few old houses at the back of the palace.
Ji Tianxing turned his head to look at Yun Yao and sent a voice transmission. "Yao Yao, there are four hidden sentries at the back of the palace. However, they are only at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage. There's nothing to worry about.
Wait for me here for a moment. I'll go and deal with them first before I can break the palace's Defensive Grand Formation. "
Yun Yao nodded and sent a voice transmission. "Tianxing, be careful."
Ji Tianxing nodded silently. His figure flashed and flew out.
After two breaths of time, he moved to the back of the palace and was near a few houses in the ruins.
When he got closer, he used his spiritual sense to scan clearly. There were a total of five houses that were relatively well-preserved, and four of them were occupied.
The four martial artists were wearing black robes. There were soft armor and heart protection mirrors under their robes. They also carried treasured swords, concealed weapons, and crossbows. They were fully equipped.
Moreover, the robes of these four people were embroidered with the same pattern and pattern.
Their auras were similarly gloomy and contained the smell of blood.
Even though the four of them were meditating in the room, they were still on guard at all times.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing frowned slightly as a cold light flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Looks like these four fellows are the assassins of the Soul Shepherd Hall, the ones who captured Yan 'er."
Relying on his strength, killing four eighth level Origin Core Stage experts was simply easy.
However, it was very difficult to do it without alerting the experts and powerhouses in the palace.
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment and immediately had an idea.
"Earth Emperor Shield!"
He muttered in his heart and quietly used his Earth Elemental True Essence to burrow into the ground.
He controlled the power of Earth True Essence and quietly moved underground without any hindrance. He was like a fish swimming in water.
In a short span of ten breaths, he swam a hundred meters underground and came to the ground of a house.
The Soul Shepherd Hall assassin in the house was still meditating on the bed and didn't notice the approaching danger in the slightest.
In the next moment, Ji Tianxing emerged from the wall behind the assassin. He appeared soundlessly like a ghost.
At this moment, he was only a step away from the Soul Shepherd Hall assassin. He stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed towards the assassin's neck.
"Crack!"
Along with the sound of bones shattering, this assassin's neck was instantly broken by Ji Tianxing, and he died on the spot.
Until the moment of his death, he still didn't understand what had happened.
The assassin's body slowly fell down onto the bed without a sound. Blood was still flowing out from his mouth and nose.
And at this moment, Ji Tianxing had already left silently. He moved another twenty steps underground and entered the next room.
The black-robed assassin in this room faintly heard a light sound and revealed a puzzled expression. He had just opened his eyes.
However, he didn't realize that a person had appeared out of thin air from the dark brown wall behind him.
"Crack!"
Another sound of bones shattering was heard. This assassin's neck was also broken by Ji Tianxing. He didn't even have time to scream before he died on the spot.
Then, Ji Tianxing sneaked into the third and fourth rooms and assassinated the remaining two assassins.
Although the two assassins were alert, they didn't know what had happened.
Before they could react, Ji Tianxing appeared like a ghost and silently took their lives.
Ji Tianxing easily took care of the four assassins from the Hall of Soul Husbandry without making too much noise.
He quietly left the house and returned to Yun Yao's side.
Yun Yao quickly asked via voice transmission, "Tianxing, have you taken care of them?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and replied via voice transmission, "Yes, all four Soul Shepherd Hall assassins have been killed."
Then, he took Yun Yao and sneaked into the ruins on the side of the palace. He observed the defensive formation silently and thought of a way to break it.
After observing for a while, he frowned doubtfully and thought to himself, "The defensive formation of this palace isn't a remnant formation from the ancient times. It was set up in recent years.
Strange, this is just an ordinary Low Grade Heaven Origin Formation. Could it be that the experts in this palace have very ordinary attainments in formations? "
Ji Tianxing was puzzled and raised his vigilance.
He explained the situation to Yun Yao. Then, he performed a secret formation technique and started to break the formation.
The Low Grade Heaven Origin Formation was very easy for a formation grandmaster like him. It wasn't even worth mentioning.
In just a few minutes, he broke a hole in the defensive formation.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao went through the hole in the formation and entered the defensive formation.
Although the palace had a black iron gate, they didn't go through the gate. They went through the window of one of the rooms on the first floor and directly entered the palace.
The interior of the palace was dilapidated and very old. It was full of cracks and piles of gravel and debris.
The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell. It was nauseating.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao both had the strength of Heaven Origin Stage. They held their breath and quickly shuttled through the palace, searching for traces of Yan 'er.
Both of them released their spirit senses to explore the situation around. They didn't miss any room or secret room, even the underground.
Not long after, they searched the entire first floor of the palace but found nothing.
They just went up to the second floor of the palace and entered a spacious hall. They were about to use their spirit senses to search.
At this time, Ji Tianxing suddenly saw four statues standing in the four dark corners of the hall.
Each statue was more than three meters tall. They were dark brown all over and the carvings were lifelike. They didn't look like remnants from the ancient times.
In terms of appearance, the four statues were all of the Demon Clan. Half of them were like humans and the other half were like eagles.
Ji Tianxing stepped toward one of the statues and prepared to observe it closely.
However, the statue suddenly moved and opened its eyes, revealing a pair of dark golden bright eyes.
