At this moment, Duan Lingtian heard a burst of clamorous sounds coming from the front courtyard of the house, and he knew that the commotion here had alarmed the others.
Under the girl's terrified gaze, Duan Lingtian's brows raised, then he raised his hand and knocked her unconscious before chasing out of the window.
In any case, his face was covered now, so he wasn't worried about being recognized.
Outside the window was the rear courtyard of this house. Presently, Su Yong was lying by the wall of the rear courtyard, not moving and not making a sound. Obviously, he didn't manage to escape.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
How could a sixth level Nascent Soul martial artist possibly escape from the joint forces of two seventh level Nascent Soul martial artists?
At this moment, Zhang Qian removed the Spatial Ring from Su Yong's body and respectfully passed it to Duan Lingtian. "Young Master."
"Let's go!"
Duan Lingtian arrived at the side of the wall in a few steps, then his legs exerted force and his Origin Energy skyrocketed.
Above him, the strength of 10 plus ancient mammoths flashed, directly leaping over the wall and arriving outside the house.
When Duan Lingtian left with Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, he could faintly hear a sorrowful cry coming from the rear courtyard. "Master!"
On the way, Duan Lingtian claimed ownership of the Spatial Ring, and the wealth within caused his eyes to light up.
"30 million plus silver …."
Sure enough, it was as he thought. This Su Yong had worked for most of his life, and the wealth he accumulated far surpassed the fatty Su Lie from last night.
In fact, Su Lie could be considered to be Su Yong's nephew.
This uncle and nephew pair gave him a total of close to 40 million silver.
"Take it!"
Duan Lingtian withdrew another 2 million silver and gave it to Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
The two of them didn't refuse this time and directly put it away.
As far as they were concerned.
Now that they were following this exceedingly audacious youth, it was practically a 90% chance of survival. If they were to make a mistake one day, then this wealth could be left to their wives and children.
With the Divine Might Marquis present, they didn't have to worry about their wives and children being burdened by them.
It could be said that they'd already made plans for the worst!
After all, what they were doing now was like making a steel wire on a cliff. The slightest carelessness would cause them to fall and shatter into pieces!
The Su Clan was not easy to deal with.
If Duan Lingtian knew what Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were thinking, he would definitely be speechless …
He had done similar things countless times in his previous life.
Other than the time when he was betrayed, when had he ever failed?
When he returned to the house, Duan Lingtian, who was already in a good mood, welcomed another pleasant surprise …
Xiong Quan had actually spent all the 50 million silver he gave him last time, and had even gathered enough materials to inscribe over ten Bone Corrosion Inscriptions.
"After today, the Su Clan will definitely be vigilant … I'll rest for a few days, and use the next few nights to help mother and those two little girls inscribe some Bone Corrosion Inscriptions."
Duan Lingtian's heart stirred, and he had a plan.
To him, nothing was more important than the safety of his family.
Duan Lingtian, who was in an extremely good mood, stealthily snuck into Li Fei's room.
Li Fei hadn't slept yet, and was sitting cross-legged on the soft bed cultivating. When she heard movement, she opened her eyes, and with a glance, she saw Duan Lingtian.
She didn't even have time to react before being pushed onto the bed by Duan Lingtian.
"Little Fei, your husband is here!"
Very quickly, accompanied by Duan Lingtian's heavy breathing, the soft bed started to sway, composing a decadent movement …
Only when it was deep into the night did the movements of the two finally stop.
The sound of panting pervaded the room.
Just when Duan Lingtian was fully satisfied as he hugged the flushed Little Fei and fell asleep.
The higher-ups of the Su Clan once again gathered in the Audience Hall overnight.
"Killing two of our Su Clan's direct descendant disciples in two consecutive nights …. Looks like someone has the intention to go against our Su Clan!"
Under the rage of the Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, his palm descended, and the armrest of the new chair that had just been changed today was shattered.
The Grand Elder, Su Nan, who was below him, had an extremely unsightly expression ….
Last night, his nephew died!
Tonight, his cousin had died!
He suddenly felt that the spearhead of all this seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally pointing towards him.
It wasn't only Su Nan who thought this way, even the other Su Clan elders had similar thoughts ….
"Grand Elder, did you offend someone?"
"Yeah, Grand Elder, if you offended someone, you can speak of it. We can use this clue to track down the true culprit."
"Grand Elder, could it be that you have some difficulties?"
"Grand Elder, I hope you can consider the big picture!"
...
One by one, the Su Clan elders pointed their spearhead at Su Nan.
The gaze of the Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, couldn't help but descend onto Su Nan. Now, even he had some doubts.
"Patriarch, I, Su Nan, can swear that I absolutely haven't offended anyone recently …. If you really want to talk about conflicts, then it ought to be that Su Li and Duan Lingtian! However, it's absolutely impossible for the two of them to have the ability to kill Su Li and Su Yong. "
Being misunderstood by so many people, Su Nan was angered to the point his face flushed red, and in his heart, he hated that 'culprit' to the bone.
"Su Li?"
Many of the Su Clan elders present knew who Su Li was, and they all asked, "What does this have to do with Su Li?"
Su Nan took a deep breath and spoke of the dispute between him and Su Li, including the fact that Su Li had already left Paladin Academy ….
When he first found out about this matter, he was very surprised as well.
He never would have thought.
That Su Li, for the sake of his friend, Duan Lingtian, and for the sake of his parents' safety, was actually willing to give up his great future.
As far as he was concerned, Su Li's choice was extremely stupid!
"Pfft! Grand Elder, you really do have the ability to not even let off a child! "
A Su Clan elder who had a good relationship with Su Li's father couldn't help but sneer as he glanced at Su Nan with disdain.
As far as he was concerned, the actions of the dignified Su Clan's Grand Elder caused one's hair to stand on end!
"It's impossible for Su Li …. As for that Duan Lingtian, although he's the son of Duan Rufeng, he still hasn't returned to the Duan Clan, so it's impossible for him to have such 'ability.' Grand Elder, did you miss something? "
Su Bo Ya pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Nan with a burning gaze.
"Absolutely not!"
Su Nan shook his head with a face full of certainty.
Su Bo Ya frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking. "No matter if it was Su Li from last night or Su Yong from tonight, after they were killed, their Spatial Rings vanished without a trace …. Could it be that the goal of that person was to seek wealth?"
"If it was to seek wealth, then it can be explained. No matter if it was Su Li or Su Yong, they were both the people in charge of the businesses under our Su Clan. "
A Su Clan elder said.
"Pass down the order, tell all the people in charge of the businesses to return to the Su Clan Estate and stay there! I want to see if that person dares to barge into our Su Clan Estate! "
Su Bo Ya nodded and gave the order right away, and his eyes flickered with a cold sheen.
In just two days, the Su Clan had lost two direct descendant disciples. As the Su Clan's Patriarch, he had lost all face and felt a great humiliation.
Early the next morning, the entire Imperial City was bustling with noise and excitement, and the matter of the Su Clan members dying for two consecutive nights was spread everywhere ….
Moreover, the people who died were all direct descendant disciples of the Su Clan!
"That Su Clan wouldn't have offended someone, right?"
"Who knows …. But the two people who died weren't any good people."
"True, it's good for a few more people like this to die."
"Shh! Be quiet, are you courting death? If the Su Clan members hear what you said, then don't think of living! "
...
No matter if it was the Imperial City's outer city or the inner city, it was filled with similar discussions.
Fifth Prince's Estate.
"Your highness, the three Death Warriors we sent out yesterday haven't returned for an entire night. I'm afraid they've met with misfortune."
In a quiet pergola, the white-browed old man respectfully reported to the luxuriously clothed young man who was sipping fragrant tea.
"Three Nascent Soul Stage martial artists weren't able to take the life of that Duan Lingtian?"
The luxuriously clothed young man, the Fifth Prince, had a slightly gloomy expression. "Looks like the Duan Clan is really benevolent and takes good care of this rebellious direct descendant disciple …."
"Your highness, what you mean is that the Duan Clan members are protecting him?"
The white-browed old man was stunned.
"Besides this, do you think he has anyone else to rely on?"
The Fifth Prince grunted coldly as he asked.
The white-browed old man went silent for a short moment before saying, "Your highness, then should we still …."
"Let's put this matter aside for now. I heard that two direct descendant disciples of the Su Clan died these past two nights. Send someone to investigate, and if you're able to find any clues, then give the Su Clan a favor …. Once the matter is completed, I want the Su Clan to help me in the battle for the throne. I presume the Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, wouldn't refuse. "
The Fifth Prince's eyes flickered, and a wisp of light flashed within.
"Yes."
The white-browed old man replied and left.
"Duan Lingtian, you've injured my cousin over and over again …. Even if the Duan Clan members are secretly protecting you, you won't be able to jump around for long!"
A trace of a cold light flashed within the Fifth Prince's eyes.
The Ghastly Shadow assassin organization could be said to be everywhere within the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Even within the Imperial City, there was a Ghastly Shadow stronghold.
In a remote corner of the inner city.
Very few people knew that the Ghastly Shadow stronghold in the Imperial City was here.
Deep into the night.
A middle aged man with an ordinary appearance sneakily looked around before walking into the Ghastly Shadow stronghold, entering the hall and arriving before the counter.
"Target."
Behind the counter, the young man with a stiff expression revealed a bone-piercing icy-cold voice.
This caused the middle aged man to feel a chill run down his spine as he said in panic, "Duan Lingtian, ninth level of the Core Formation Stage, grade 1 student of Paladin Academy."
"Paladin Academy?"
The young man's voice seemed to contain some misgivings.
"He's an outsider and doesn't live within Paladin Academy."
The middle aged man spoke as if he was reading a textbook. Obviously, he was ordered by someone to issue this mission.
"Deposit, two hundred thousand taels of silver, confirmed in three days."
The young man said coldly.
