As he had already arrived at the third prince's mansion and learned about the major figures in the third prince's mansion and the daily life and food of Xuanyuan Wuji, of course, Zhang Tie would not leave in this way even though there was a roadblock in front of him.
Besides fighting with Xue Fucius, Zhang Tie had another method, namely to observe or sound him out.
Thinking of observation and probing, Zhang Tie instantly came up with a method. At this moment, he could display the power of Great Wilderness Sutra.
In this world, there was a kind of animal which didn't go extinct after hundreds of millions of years. As long as there were people, they could be found. This animal was cockroach. Among Hua people, cockroach had a very intimate name — — cockroach.
Cockroaches had wings, just like insects. However, ordinary cockroaches could not fly and could only glide. After the catastrophe, even among cockroaches, as long as there were enough cockroaches, there would be a small number of cockroaches that would slightly mutate. Their flying ability would be strengthened, and they could fly three to five hundred meters at a time in a short distance. They would also be better at hiding their breath and had stronger survival abilities. Some could even change their body color like chameleons or become translucent. Such cockroaches were called winged cockroaches, just like the special forces of cockroaches.
With the ability of Great Wilderness Sutra, it only took Zhang Tie a short while to summon some winged cockroaches in the periphery of the third prince's mansion. Closely after that, Zhang Tie applied a super hiding rune on those winged cockroaches, making their qi smaller and harder to detect. Closely after that, Zhang Tie incarnated into a black beetle and rushed towards the third prince's residence in the third prince's mansion with those winged cockroaches.
The third prince's residence in the third prince's mansion was called Yangyue Pavilion. Everyone in the third prince's mansion knew that the third prince liked to get up at midnight to appreciate the full moon in Yangyue Pavilion or deal with official documents in Yangyue Pavilion. Therefore, Xue Fucius' residence — — Wave-viewing Courtyard was close to the third prince's Yangyue Pavilion. Therefore, it was convenient for the third prince to summon them at any time.
Zhang Tie led some winged cockroaches and flew among the tiled roofs and twigs of the third prince's mansion. The winged cockroaches could only fly hundreds of meters at a time. Therefore, they had to take a rest after flying a short distance before flying off again.
After some leapfrogging tactics, Zhang Tie finally arrived at the periphery of Yangyue Pavilion with some winged cockroaches.
The periphery of Yangyue Pavilion looked very spacious. There was a bamboo wood 200 m away from Yangyue Pavilion. There was a piece of open grassland between the bamboo wood and Yangyue Pavilion, which was interspersed with an elegant winding corridor and a colorful low parterre. In Zhang Tie's eyes, such a design was designed to prevent assassins. Especially in the evening, when Xuanyuan Wuji went to rest, as long as someone wanted to approach Yangyue Pavilion, he or she could not hide at all; especially if Xuanyuan Wuji had a powerhouse on his side.
There was only a rockery between Xue Fucius's Guanlan Courtyard and Yangyue Pavilion. Additionally, there was a portal in the rockery. Therefore, they were completely connected with each other.
After entering the bamboo wood, Zhang Tie stopped. For the sake of safety, he even made a hole in a bamboo where there was a bamboo worm inside and had the black beetle drill in. Only exposing its head, it could observe the situation in Yangyue Pavilion.
When Zhang Tie drilled into the bamboo wood, those winged cockroaches were all ready as they stayed on the surrounding bamboo leaves.
It was pitch-dark in Yangyue Pavilion. Xuanyuan Wuji seemed to have fallen asleep. At this moment, at least two of the four King Kongs should be guarding Yangyue Pavilion. Xue Fucius's residence was also pitch-dark.
A gust of night wind blew by, swaying the bamboo shadows …
'Now's the time. Cockroaches, special forces, go!'
The first batch of two winged cockroaches sprung off the bamboo leaves at the same time. After spreading their wings, they glided in the night wind and flew towards Yangyue Pavilion and Guanlan Courtyard one after the other.
Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes as he hid in the bamboo and watched the situation in Yangyue Pavilion and the small courtyard of the Wave-viewing Courtyard with his eyes wide open.
Previously, the little black beetle was the most suitable one. However, as Zhang Tie had always used the incarnation of the little black beetle, once it was lost, Zhang Tie would feel a bit heartache. Therefore, he could only find some cannon fodder to explore the way. If these cockroaches were fine, he would have the little black beetle do it.
Under Zhang Tie's widely opened eyes, the two winged cockroaches had already flown over 100 m in the night wind. After a few seconds, when they were about 50 m away from the Yangyue Pavilion and the Guanlan Courtyard, the two winged cockroaches seemed to have entered an invisible furnace. Only after 1/100th of a second, two sparks appeared on their bodies and turned them into ashes in the air in a split second. Closely after that, the cockroaches disappeared with the wind silently …
Zhang Tie's heart raced as he watched all this with wide eyes.
Sage-level knight, no, semi-sage level knight. It was a strength close to the realm of semi-sage level knight. Zhang Tie had seen the same strength from Meng Shidao in Sincerity Garden in Xuanyuan Hill.
Xuanyuan Wuji was being protected by a semi-sage level knight!
When the two winged cockroaches turned into ashes and disappeared, a shadow in a black robe suddenly appeared outside Yangyue Pavilion with a gloomy look and a pair of shiny triangular eyes. After flying around Yangyue Pavilion as fast as a lightning bolt, the knight in black robe looked around for a short while. After finding nothing abnormal in the surroundings, he disappeared once again.
This shadow knight in black robe was Jiang Qianchou, the grand elder of Jiang Clan of Heavenly Stars Palace and one of the four King Kongs on Xuanyuan Wuji's side.
Of course, Jiang Qianchou couldn't exert the strength of a semi-sage level knight just now. Neither Xuanyuan Wuji nor the four King Kongs on his side could do that. Therefore, the semi-sage level knight could only be one person.
Zhang Tie then fixated onto Xue Fucius in the Viewing Waves Courtyard which was completely dark!
This person was the real semi-sage level knight on Xuanyuan Wuji's side. Xue Fucius couldn't be called Xue Fucius. Given his background, he might be a figure in the top three sects of Imperial Alliance. After changing his look, he stayed on Xuanyuan Wuji's side to protect Xuanyuan Wuji and communicate with Xuanyuan Wuji on behalf of the top three sects.
With such a semi-sage level knight, even if a sage-level knight wanted to assassinate Xuanyuan Wuji, he could also deal with the sage-level knight and win time for Xuanyuan Wuji to escape.
After making such a discovery, Zhang Tie didn't need to test it anymore. Therefore, he didn't stay in the prince's mansion anymore. After letting the other winged cockroaches disperse, the little black beetle drilled out of the bamboos and flew back to his hotel.
…
Over 20 minutes later, the little beetle flew back from the room on the 38th floor of the luxury hotel beside Sword-washing Lake. When it returned to Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie appeared silently by the window and watched the lake and mountain scenery outside with a calm look.
Xuanyuan Wuji was really the one who wanted to compete for the throne of Taixia Country. It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that he had such powerful trump cards and such a strict defense.
Zhang Tie was not afraid of Xue Fucius. In Zhang Tie's opinion, Xue Fucius was most likely an elder or deputy head of one of the top three sects who was in secluded cultivation. It was common for knights on this level to enter secluded cultivation for dozens of years. During this period, Xuanyuan Wuji could attract people to his side using the Talents' Pavilion without arousing the suspicion of outsiders.
What really troubled Zhang Tie was that his plan to kill Xuanyuan Wuji might have to be changed due to the existence of Xue Fucius.
Previously, Zhang Tie planned to kill Xuanyuan Wuji using a secret method of Bloody Soul Sutra in this disguise before disappearing. However, given the current situation, it was almost impossible for Zhang Tie to kill Xuanyuan Wuji under the protection of a semi-sage level knight without revealing his ability as a divine dominator. As long as he revealed his ability as a divine dominator, it would be too obvious. Even a fool would suspect that it was him who killed Xuanyuan Wuji. It would bring endless troubles to Jinwu Palace, Iron-Dragon Sect and those on his side. It was definitely not what Zhang Tie wanted.
'How could I kill Xuanyuan Wuji without arousing the suspicion of others?'
Standing in front of the window, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes and thought about it seriously. Only after a short while, a whim occurred to Zhang Tie's mind …
'If I want to kill Xuanyuan Wuji under the protection of a semi-sage level knight, I would probably expose my ability as a divine dominator. If I don't want to arouse the suspicion of others, there's only one method — — show up in another public place when Xuanyuan Wuji is killed by me. In this way, even if the one who killed Xuanyuan Wuji exposed his ability as a divine dominator, nobody would doubt me. Of course, it's not good for someone to doubt Fairysea King. Perhaps Fairysea King doesn't care about it and has a way to prove it. However, it's not right for me to do that. I've just received Fairysea King's secret method; if I put sh * t on him, it would be embarrassing for me to see Fairysea King again …'
'Therefore, the best time to kill Xuanyuan Wuji is on the day when I receive the black invitation cards.
'When my original body fights the sage-level knights of the three major sects above Yinhai in the Gobi Desert, I will seize the opportunity and kill Xuanyuan Wuji with my substitute.'
'I'd better perish together with Xuanyuan Wuji.'
'The original plan remains unchanged. I only need to make Han Zhengfang, Han Zhengfang and Heavens Reaching Church be the scapegoat …'
'It seems that I have to stay in Datang City for a few more days and make a good plan!'
Zhang Tie gradually revealed an icy smile …
