The next day, the Dugu Residence was the same as usual. Everyone did what they were supposed to do, but under their calm faces, there was some anxiety in their hearts.
In a courtyard of the Yanjing Palace.
A young man dressed in a bright yellow robe sat in a stone pavilion. A few beautiful maids were peeling fruits for him, slicing them and feeding them to him.
This person was the ninth son of the Yan Emperor, the Ninth Prince who stood aloof from worldly affairs! An old eunuch knelt in front of the Ninth Prince. At his feet was a horsetail whisk. After bowing to the Ninth Prince, the old eunuch received the Ninth Prince's permission before standing up and bowing. "Ninth Prince, I just sent someone to the Dugu Residence to take a look. The Dugu Residence is still the same as usual.
”
"The same as usual?"
The ninth prince muttered to himself thoughtfully. Then, he said indifferently, "Chen Liexing went to the Dugu Residence and never came out. Tell me, with his strength as a sixth tier Spirit Devourer, who in the Dugu Residence can be his match?"
The old eunuch said in a low voice, "Ninth Prince, although Chen Liexing's cultivation is not too high, with the Dugu Residence's strength, there is no reason for them to keep him."
"Is that so, hehe …"
The Ninth Prince chuckled. "This time, I did not get the Dark Soul Record. Instead, I lost a group of men. I already suspected that Dugu Mo had betrayed me. It seems that it is true."
The old eunuch was slightly shocked. "You mean, there are other Spirit Devourers in the Dugu Residence? He sent someone to steal the Dark Soul Record? "
"Other than that, what other reason could there be? Do you think that Chen Liexing would dare to betray me? "
The Ninth Prince smiled.
The old eunuch's heart sank. "Ninth Prince, the person who stole the Dark Soul Record is definitely not weak. Perhaps, I will have to make a trip myself."
"Yes, I have the same intention. Bring ten Spirit Guards with you."
The Ninth Prince smiled.
The old eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. "Thank you, Ninth Prince!"
As the name implied, Spirit Guards were guards that protected Spirit Rank experts, and since they were able to protect Spirit Rank experts, they were absolutely not weak!
They were all deathsworn personally trained by the Ninth Prince, and every single one of them was at least a seventh-grade Spirit Devourer. Even though they were slightly inferior to the old eunuch's ninth-grade Spirit Devourer, and even less comparable to a spirit-rank expert, these Spirit Guards all had a special weapon in their hands!
Soul Extinguishing Crossbow!
Soul Devourer martial artists were invulnerable, but Soul Exterminating Crossbows could directly kill their souls. Not only were they extremely lethal to Soul Devourer experts, even Spirit Level experts would have to be wary if they were surrounded by a large group of fellows armed with Soul Exterminating Crossbows!
With the ten Spirit Guards following him, the old eunuch was immediately filled with confidence. Before this, he was extremely fearful of the expert who had killed the boss of Mount Heng, because even he could not so cleanly kill an expert at the eighth stage of the Spirit Devourer realm!
…
At the main entrance of the Solitary Residence, two guards were eyeing their surroundings warily. Suddenly, they saw an old eunuch walking towards the Solitary Residence with ten burly men dressed in special attire. Their expressions immediately changed, and one of them immediately turned and entered the Solitary Residence.
"Go and inform Du Gumo that I have come with the Ninth Prince's verbal order."
Weng You held a horsetail whisk in his hand and led the ten Spirit Guards to the main entrance of the Solitary Residence. He looked at the Solitary Residence guard who had a fearful and fearful expression as he spoke calmly.
"The Ninth Prince's verbal order …" Upon hearing this, a trace of fear flashed across the guard's eyes. Last night, he had also encircled and killed that young man and was still injured. Naturally, he knew that the person who wanted to destroy the Solitary Residence was the Ninth Prince. Now that the other party had sent an old eunuch and ten burly men of unknown strength, they were definitely here!
Unfriendly!
"Someone has already gone to report this. Please wait a moment, eunuch."
The guard said in a low voice.
"Impudent!"
Weng You said sinisterly, "Do you want me to wait at the entrance? When did Du Gumo become so bold? Or are you going to make the decision for Du Gumo? "
"This …"
The guard was shocked and flustered. If it was under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be this afraid.
At this moment, another guard ran out. "The Lord has asked for you to enter."
The main door was quickly opened. Weng You looked inside and sneered. With a face full of arrogance, he led the ten Spirit Guards into the Solitary Residence.
In the guest hall.
Everyone from the Solitary Clan was basically present. Just like last night, their eyes were filled with nervousness and they could not help but look at Ning Qi. Seeing that Ning Qi's expression was incomparably calm, they would also heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Only Nangong Qushan and Dugu Yun 'er would occasionally glance at Ning Qi with a slightly strange expression. Ning Qi had already noticed this, but he did not reveal it.
"Ling Feng, Weng You is an older eunuch in the palace. He had once served the Yan Emperor and is already old. Could it be that the Ninth Prince has sent him here to seek peace with us?"
Du Gumo looked at Ning Qi and asked.
"With your understanding of the Ninth Prince's temperament, will he seek peace with others?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"He won't."
Du Gumo shook his head and his eyes became serious. Since the Ninth Prince was not here to seek peace, then Weng You must have come with ill intentions!
"I originally thought that he would come personally. It seems that he still has many people under him. At least, they are stronger than the one from last night. After I cut off his wings, he will personally come to the Solitary Residence."
Ning Qi smiled.
Seeing that he said it so casually, everyone's hearts calmed down.
Not long after, Weng You walked into the guest hall with the ten Spirit Guards. His eyes immediately fell on Du Gumo.
Seeing that Du Gumo was not injured at all, Weng You's eyes narrowed and he laughed at the top of his voice, "Du Gumo, the Ninth Prince has a message for you."
"Speak."
Du Gumo said lightly.
"The Ninth Prince said that as long as you hand over the Dark Soul Record, he will let the Solitary Clan leave Yan Kingdom!"
Weng You smiled slightly.
Dark Soul Record?
Dugu Mo sighed in his heart. The Ninth Prince guessed that the Dugu Family had a stronger Spirit Devourer than Chen Liexing when Chen Liexing didn't report back last night. If that was the case, the Dugu Family's crime of betraying the Ninth Prince and stealing the Yin Spirit Record would be confirmed! "I understand the Ninth Prince's temperament very well. He never leaves his enemies alive. Even if we hand over ten Yin Spirit Records, he still won't let it go. However, I'm very curious. Is Eunuch Weng really here just to pass on the Ninth Prince's orders? Half of your body is already in the ground.
If we make a move later, you will inevitably be injured. Are you not afraid of death? "
Du Gumo smiled and said.
"Is that so?"
Weng You laughed lightly. Suddenly, he lifted his foot and stomped lightly. Everyone heard a loud sound. Immediately after, with Weng You as the center, the green bricks on the ground cracked and spread out like a spider web!
"This old eunuch is also a Soul Devourer expert?"
