The streets of Biantang were not lit by ordinary lamps, but by magic lamps that would not be extinguished for decades.
At night, a few horses galloped along the street, led by Xuan Wuji and the mysterious leader who should have "killed himself" long ago.
Outside a quiet mansion, the courtyard was deep and bustling. The lanterns of the Crown Prince's residence were like a long dragon, emitting a frightening light in the dark night.
When Xuan Wuji and the mysterious leader saw Li Shao, the second prince of Tang Yuan, Li Shao, he was sipping tea.
This man, known as the first of the Wuji Five Jade Walls, had a picturesque appearance. In terms of appearance, he did not have Ye Beiming's exquisite features, nor did he have Xia Wenxu's aura that made people unconsciously feel close to him.
But Li Shao's uniqueness was that he was just right, neutralizing Ye Beiming's exquisite handsomeness with Xia Wenxu's temperament.
In addition, he had been trained in the royal family since he was young, so no matter the occasion, he could shine like the most precious purple gold. In the pavilion, Li Shao personally boiled the water, placed the tea leaves, and washed them. Every movement was very elegant and almost impeccable.
"Second Prince, I deserve to die. The purple gold vein has been taken away." When the mysterious leader saw Li Shao's peaceful expression, he knelt on the ground.
In front of this elegant master, he didn't even dare to say a word.
"There's more." Li Shao picked up the fragrant cup and blew on it.
"The smelting field … has been destroyed. More than a hundred mages … and tens of millions of top-grade Purple Gold that had been refined are missing." When the leader of the mysterious people heard the news, he gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
He had wanted to die, but when he thought of his wife and children, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to Tang Yuan.
He knew that if he dared to defect, what awaited him would be endless pursuit.
"Do you know who did it?" Li Shao's face was still calm and elegant, but there was a dark undercurrent in his eyes. Those familiar with Li Shao knew that this was a sign that he was enraged.
After nearly a year of planning, they obtained the Purple Gold mine from the Grand Emperor City at a high price. Everything went smoothly with more than a hundred elite Magicians.
Whether it was Zhou State or Later Qin, no one discovered their secret.
But just a few days ago, several bad news came one after another.
Zhou State's army launched a surprise attack on the purple gold mine. More than a hundred magicians in the smelting factory were slaughtered, and the smelting pool, which was originally filled with purple gold water, flowed with blood.
All of his hard work had been destroyed in a single night.
The most despicable thing was that tens of millions of purple gold had disappeared in a single night.
The casualties were heavy, and these people were all elites under Li Shao.
"I … I don't know." The leader's voice was filled with fear.
"I don't know … Captain Lin, please get up first." Li Shao put down the cup in his hand.
A silver light flashed in the cup.
"Although I don't know who destroyed the smelting factory, in this mine incident, a new Hunting Corps called the Sky Expedition Hunting Corps played a major role. They saved the villagers. This subordinate suspects that the tens of millions of purple gold that disappeared without a trace also went into their pockets. That Hunting Corps' strength is not to be underestimated. Their leader is the former military general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yun Canglang. They also have a summoner who can summon commander-level magical beasts. "The leader of the mysterious group only knew that he had been captured. He did not know how he had fallen into the encirclement of the Heaven Expedition Hunting Corps.
"Yun Canglang? Wasn't his hand crippled? When did Zhou State have a Summoner who can summon Commander-level Magical Beasts? "Li Shao's expression changed slightly.
Zhou State's national fortune was declining, but he didn't expect that several powerful people from Zhou State would be implicated this time.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Yun Canglang's hands are as good as new, and his cultivation is not inferior to before. As for the Summoner … she is young, but very sinister and cunning. Her name is Yan Yun." The leader of the mysterious people described Yun Sheng's situation.
"Captain Lin, you've worked hard these days." Li Shao changed the topic and raised the cup of tea he brewed earlier. "This cup of tea is for you."
When the leader of the mysterious people heard this, his forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The Crown Prince's tea …
He trembled and took the cup of tea.
The silver light of the tea reflected the bright moon in the sky.
"I know that I have committed a capital offense. I only hope that Your Highness can spare my wife and children on account of my years of loyalty." The mysterious person drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
"Very good. Lin Xiaowei, you can leave." Li Shao walked to the leader of the mysterious people. He raised his hand and patted Lin Xiaowei's shoulder.
Lin Xiaowei only felt a cold finger caressing his shoulder.
The Crown Prince didn't blame him?
The leader of the mysterious people was overjoyed.
He hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude and couldn't wait to leave.
He had only taken three steps when his eyes suddenly widened.
A layer of ice quickly condensed on his lower limbs. The ice layer quickly spread to his entire body. In the end, even his hair and eyebrows were completely frozen.
With a crack, the leader who was kowtowing to express his gratitude a moment ago turned into an ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture shattered inch by inch and quickly turned into a puddle of water.
This … Xuan Wuji, the Young Castellan of Grand Emperor City, who was originally sitting at the side and sipping his tea, couldn't help but shake the teacup in his hand. A drop of hot water splashed out.
The water splashed on his hand, but he didn't feel hot. He seemed to feel a wave of icy magic elements surrounding him.
That pat just now … Xuan Wuji finally realized that Tang Yuan and Li Shao's seemingly careless pat was a fatal one.
Even with Xuan Wuji's cultivation, he couldn't tell when exactly Li Shao had injected the fatal ice magic elements into Lin Xiaowei's body.
The Wuji Five Annulus was indeed worthy of its name.
It was rumored that Tang Yuan and Li Shao were adept at water magic and could kill people without leaving a trace.
Xuan Wuji watched as a living soldier turned into a puddle of water in the span of a few breaths. His heart was filled with fear.
He coughed and put down the teacup in his hand.
Speaking of which, the cooperation between Grand Emperor City and Tang Yuan was carried out in secret. Xuan Wuji had originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make a huge profit. Who knew that the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps would suddenly appear and disrupt their plans?
Xuan Wuji was still depressed. Seeing that Yun Canglang had recovered, Xuan Wuji came to Tang Yuan this time to ally with the Second Prince, Li Shao, and think of a way to deal with the people of the Yun Residence.
According to his understanding of Li Shao, this person looked benevolent but was actually sinister and narrow-minded. He definitely wouldn't let the loss of tens of thousands of kilograms of purple gold ore go.
