"Qin Gang is dead. All that's left is Northmont Fox."
A breeze drifted out and Qi Heng's figure disappeared into the wind. A moment later, he returned to the desolate marshes of the Gaol Mountains.
"The desolate marshes of the Gaol Mountains are too far from Antan Commandery City. It'll take too much time to fly back and forth. I need to set up a teleportation array. "
As Prime Hunyuan, Qi Heng naturally knew how to set up a teleportation array. With the storage rings of the Wind Immortals and Fire Immortals, he had enough materials to set up one.
Activating an earth escape technique, Qi Heng burrowed underground and found a place where the spirit energy of the earth veins gathered. He began setting up a teleportation array.
"It's different from the spatial arrays of today. My teleportation array uses earth veins."
The power of the earth surged and condensed into a stone platform above the earth veins. Qi Heng took out the Earth Profound Gold Whip and began carving on the stone platform.
With a wave of his hand, he took out all sorts of materials and began carving runes on the array.
An hour later, a temporary teleportation array was completed.
"Northmont Fox, this seat is coming!"
Stepping onto the teleportation array, Qi Heng's figure disappeared as the earth veins' spirit energy surged.
In Antan Commandery City, beneath the inn Qi Heng had once stayed in, the earth veins' spirit energy stirred and Qi Heng appeared.
"The teleportation arrays of this era only use spatial teleportation. No one will be able to see through my Earth Vein Spiritual Qi Transmission Technique. "
Qi Heng smiled and set up another teleportation formation in the depths of the ground. Only then did he silently emerge from the ground using an earth escape technique.
A breeze blew and Qi Heng's figure drifted past.
"Northmont Fox, it's time for you to die!"
Qi Heng turned into the breeze and silently drifted toward Northmont Fox's estate.
In the western district of Antan Commandery City, there were many beautiful and luxurious mansions that occupied vast areas. Those who lived in these mansions were all important figures of Antan Commandery City.
Northmont Fox's estate was in this area.
A moment later, a breeze blew past and entered a majestic and luxurious mansion.
"There really is a protective array here. Unfortunately … there isn't any array that can seal off the wind of nature. "
The array's protection was against unnatural forces. Normal sunlight, rain, dew, wind, frost, rain, and snow were not sealed.
Perhaps only Qi Heng would be willing to refine a treasure like the "Formless Divine Wind" into a magic treasure that could only merge with the wind of nature.
It eliminated all other powers of the "Formless Divine Wind", turning a supreme treasure into a magic treasure that could only merge into the wind of nature. It was like everyone knew that money could be used as firewood, but … would anyone do that?
Qi Heng became a part of the natural wind when he merged with the cool breeze. Similarly, the speed of movement would depend on how strong the wind was.
At this moment, the night wind was very light, so Qi Heng could only drift slowly with the breeze.
"Northmont Fox's father, Northmont Yin, lives up to his reputation as the next Marquis of Antan. His home … is no different from a dragon's lair or a tiger's den."
As the wind blew past, Qi Heng clearly sensed extremely powerful auras. Qi Heng noticed that there were at least six Earthly Immortals or Itinerant Immortals in the entire estate.
The entire estate was covered by an Immortal formation, and there were six Loose Immortals guarding it. If he wanted to kill Northmont Fox, he would have to be extremely careful.
Once his tracks were exposed, no matter how powerful Qi Heng was, he would definitely die!
"Is Northmont Fox … over there?"
After drifting with the wind for a while, Qi Heng finally found Northmont Fox's tracks.
On the left side of the estate, there was a magnificent waterside pavilion by a small lake.
At this moment, Northmont Fox was sitting in the main hall of the pavilion, drinking with others.
A group of singers danced gracefully in the hall, accompanied by the sound of strings and bamboo.
"Young Master Northmont, what orders do you have for summoning us?"
A youth dressed in a blood-red robe bowed towards Northmont Fox and asked this question.
"Of course it's something good!"
Northmont Fox chuckled and put down his wine cup. He glanced at the two below him. "A noble is coming to our Antan County to gain experience. Due to the rules of the family, this noble cannot bring too many subordinates. Xue Hongyi, Bu You, this young master recommends you to serve this noble. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! "
"Noble?"
Xue Hongyi and Bu You were both startled. If even someone like young master Northmont had to refer to this person as a 'noble', then this person had to have an unimaginably powerful background.
To be able to serve this sort of 'noble', even if it was only as a temporary subordinate, was still a peerless stroke of fortune!
As long as they performed well, this noble would be pleased and casually bestow upon them some gifts. That would be a boundless benefit!
"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! "
The two were filled with joy, and they hurriedly bowed and thanked Northmont Fox.
"Mm!"
Northmont Fox nodded calmly. "Remember. You absolutely cannot disobey this noble. If you anger this noble, I, this young master, will be in deep trouble. Understood? "
"Yes! Yes! "
Xue Hongyi and Bu You hurriedly nodded, their hearts growing even more cautious.
"We haven't confirmed when this noble will arrive, but at the latest, he will arrive in a month or two. After you go down, make some preparations. Find someone to learn the etiquette of serving this noble. Don't lose face for me. "
Northmont Fox instructed the two, a solemn look on his face.
"Yes! We'll go make the preparations right away. "
And then, Xue Hongyi and Bu You bowed and left.
"The Youngflame clan! One of the most powerful clans in the world. The title of the Youngflame clan is the 'Godplume Duke'. Aside from the imperial clan, this is the most exalted existence in the entire Grand Xia. "
Northmont Fox waved his hand, dismissing the courtesans within the waterside pavilion. Picking up his cup of wine, he walked to the railing of the waterside pavilion. Leaning against the railing, he raised his cup of wine. "I, Northmont Fox … when will I be able to reach that position?"
"You'll never have the chance!"
Just as Northmont Fox was sighing, he suddenly heard a cold voice by his ear.
"Who …"
Northmont Fox was shocked. Before he could even let out a curse, he felt an enormous, boundless force smash down upon his body like Mount Tai.
"Bang …"
With an explosive sound, Northmont Fox's entire body exploded into a bloody mist. He died so cleanly and quietly that not even a speck of dust remained.
"Who is it?"
Just now, when Northmont Fox had been killed, even the slightest disturbance had alerted the Immortals within the estate.
"My son …"
Immediately after, a furious roar soared into the sky. A figure wearing a black robe and a golden crown on his head, emitting a powerful aura and surging ferocious aura, let out a sorrowful cry and charged toward the waterside pavilion.
"Activate the formation!"
One streak of golden light after another shot out. In the blink of an eye, the entire estate was covered by a dazzling golden screen of light.
"Patriarch, what's going on?"
One streak of light after another howled through the air. In the blink of an eye, six Loose Immortals, thirty-plus Primal Adepts, and more than a hundred Wanxiang Adepts all charged towards the waterside pavilion.
"My son is dead! Someone assassinated my son! "
Northmont Yin pointed at the pool of blood by the railing of the waterside pavilion, utterly enraged. "Someone actually snuck into the estate and assassinated my son. You … you are Immortals, but you aren't even able to protect the estate?"
"Snuck into the estate and assassinated him?"
The six Loose Immortals and the other cultivators all looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
Someone had actually been able to pass through the grand formation, hide from the senses of the six Loose Immortals, and sneak into the estate to assassinate Northmont Fox?
Only a Celestial Immortal would be capable of such a thing! But … why would a Celestial Immortal need to assassinate Northmont Fox?
