Chapter 29: Assassinating Xiang Zixuan

  A tornado triggered by Han Zuo, blocking out the sky and sun, with flying sand and rolling rocks.

  As soon as Chu City entered the tornado, he immediately felt that everything in front of him was invisible, and there was sand and dust everywhere, almost blinding his eyes.

  "Blood Pupil Technique!"

  Chu City's eyes narrowed and opened, a pair of blood pupils appeared, in the field of vision, one by one, the blood-colored figures were clearly visible.

  "That's Dongfang Big Brother? He fought against two assassins and gained the upper hand! Right, he is that kind of person who gets more courageous in battle, fighting is his instinct!"

  "That's Coldedge? Even from a distance, I can feel the chill emanating from him! This guy is incredibly powerful, he must have refined three drops of Blood Essence! No wonder he's been living in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for ten years!"

  "Huh, that motionless one, is Huang Tian Cang? He said his cultivation comes from the Xuan Gong of You Ming Tian, isn't that the same place as Jiu Shu's dead soul spirit? His Blood Tongzi is so eerie and powerful!"

  Chu City immediately recognized several people, each of whom was not simple.

  However, what surprised Chu Cheng the most was not the three of them, but rather Jiu Gongzi.

  Ji Gongzi held a precious sword and fought with Han Zuo in a chaotic melee.

  His body was extremely agile, no matter how Han Zuo attacked, he couldn't truly hurt him.

  His swordsmanship was extremely powerful, with incredible speed and accuracy, and for a time, he didn't fall behind at all.

  "What a Ninth Master! He's not using the Imperial Finger, but an unknown sword technique. It must be a treasured skill of the royal family! This guy, how many more tricks does he have up his sleeve? Old Man told me not to underestimate Ninth Master, and indeed he was right! This Ninth Master is really not simple." Chu Cheng's expression turned serious.

  "Cutting, isn't it just relying on superhuman speed? Not a bit of skill, what's so fierce about that?" Kunsha said disdainfully.

  Chu Cheng ignored him.

  He didn't pay attention to these people, but instead his eyes moved and he found another person who was actually lying on the ground, struggling to crawl out of the tornado.

  "To Zixuan? This coward actually wants to escape?" A hint of cruelty flashed in Chu Cheng's eyes.

  Toward Jia and Bian Mang Fu being at odds, they oppose each other everywhere. How could he miss this opportunity to make Chu Tian Ling suffer?

  Everyone is busy with their own affairs in the midst of the tornado, no one will notice the situation here, it's a good opportunity to secretly kill towards Zixuan!

  "Don't blame me, Zixuan!"

  Chu Cheng slowly approached Zi Xuan.

  "Who? Who is it?" Suddenly stopped in front of Zixuan, as if discovering something, and turned back abruptly.

  A long spear appeared in front of him. Towards Zi Xuan's brain buzzed a sound, immediately realizing that death was approaching.

  "Chu Cheng? What are you going to do? Do you want to kill me? No, you can't! Aren't you afraid of offending the Ninth Master?" Zi Xuan asked nervously, his voice trembling.

  "Jiū Gōng Zǐ? Do you think he still has the heart to take care of you?" Chu Cheng looked at Xiang Zi Xuan, recalling the words that humiliated Chu Tian Ge when they left Shan Yang City, and he couldn't help but want to kill Xiang Zi Xuan on the spot.

  "No, no! Chucheng, I know your family is poor, but my family has money, I have money! I have a lot of gold coins, and I can give them all to you, just spare me!" With a wave of his hand towards Zixuan, a small pile of gold coins appeared before their eyes, at least several tens of thousands of gold coins.

  "Tsk tsk, Zixuan, you really are rich! Just this little stuff and you're sending away the beggar?" Chu Cheng looked at the gold coins on the ground and shook his head.

  "I have magic tools, I have seven treasure magic tools, many seven treasure magic tools, I'll give them all to you, I'll give them all to you! In Chucheng, we have no grudges or grievances, don't kill me!" Towards Zixuan, he took out a large pile of magic tools again, they were all low-grade goods, but the quantity was not small, at least seven or eight pieces.

  "Oh my, you're so wealthy! I'm so envious! Should I let you go or not?" Chu Cheng said with a playful tone, supporting his chin with his hand.

  "Let me go, let me go! These seven treasure artifacts are worth a lot of money, you can use them yourself or sell them!" A smile piled up on Zi Xuan's face, but it looked more painful than crying.

  "I also want to let you go, but I have a question that I just can't figure out." Chu Cheng tilted his head.

  "What's wrong?" Zi Xuan hastily asked.

  "I don't understand, if I kill you, won't all these things be mine? Do I still need to pay with my life?" Chu Cheng's face sank, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, full of murderous intent.

  "Ah! Chucheng, you...you...die for me!" Xiang Zixuan suddenly summoned up courage from somewhere and grabbed a precious sword, stabbing it towards Chucheng.

  However, just as his treasured sword was about to emerge, Chu Cheng's long spear had already pierced through his chest, making a hole that went straight through.

  "Chu, Chu City! You, you're so cruel! I curse you, curse you to never be reborn!" Pointing at Chu City with her finger, Zi Xuan suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, dead as can be.

  "Foolish idiot." Chu Cheng sneered.

  Poor Xiang Zi Xuan, a delicate flower withered like this.

  I don't know why, but among the people from Shanyang City who participated in the competition, none of their families had any guards or even anyone secretly protecting them.

  Is it roughly agreed upon?

  Chu City doesn't know.

  A spark of fire appeared on his hand, which was the Blood Fire in the Blood Essence. The Blood Fire burned fiercely and incinerated Zi Xuan's corpse, leaving behind only a silver cuff.

  This silver cuff is the spatial artifact given to Zixuan. The internal space isn't large, only fifty cubic meters, filled with a jumbled mess of things.

  A few bottles of dan medicine, a book, a drawing paper, and some daily necessities. As for the rest, they were the gold coins and xuanqi that had already been taken out.

  "Tiger leopard snake blood pill? Dragon snake land rising pill?"

  Chu Cheng shook his head.

  These medicinal pellets were all bought from Dongfang's household. For Chu Cheng, ordinary medicinal pellets had no effect whatsoever; he didn't need them at all.

  "This book... Divine Eagle Knack?"

  Chu Cheng flipped through the book and found it was indeed the Divine Eagle Technique that Xiang Zixuan had been cultivating.

  Xiang Tianling once entered the Qingming Ruins and obtained a "Tianying Jue". He simplified the Tianying Jue into "Shenying Jue" and "Cangying Jue", giving the former to his family disciples to cultivate, and the latter to his family guards to cultivate.

  For Chu Cheng, this "Divine Eagle Manual" is completely useless.

  "Huh? This blueprint... is so ancient and incomplete?" Chu Cheng furrowed his brow.

  This drawing appears to be made of animal skin, unfolding to half a meter square, with simple patterns drawn on it, but Chu Cheng can't understand them at all.

  "It won't be some treasure map, will it? Never mind, let's put it away for now."

  Chu Cheng put away everything and grasped his long spear "Ji Guang", charging towards Jiu Gongzi and Han Zuo.

  He has seen through the situation, whether it is Dongfang Ye or Leng Cangfeng, Huang Tiancang, their strength is extremely strong and can completely withstand those dead soldiers.

  Jiǔ Gōngzǐ is indeed powerful, but after a long battle with Hán Zuǒ, his current strength is gradually unable to hold on.

  This world is so mysterious, wanting to know whether a person is dead or not, there are actually many ways. One of them is a mysterious device called the Life Plate.

  Nameplate, the nameplate of the soul, after special refining, there is a mysterious connection between it and the soul. Once the owner dies, the soul disappears, and the nameplate will shatter.

  Toward the ancestral hall of the Xiang family, where the ancestors of the Xiang family are worshipped, and also the place where the name plaques of the Xiang family members are stored.

  The one responsible for guarding the ancestral temple of the Xiang family is a true strongman named Xiang Tianhun, who is the younger brother of Xiang Tianshen.

  There is no place in the world where one cannot cultivate, and cultivating towards the ancestral temple is also a way of cultivation. Observe the fate tablet, comprehend the soul, understand the truth, and directly point to the great way.

  Facing the heavenly soul, he sat cross-legged, in front of the spirit tablet that enshrined his life's mandate. His temples were disheveled and his face was covered with dust, yet he sat there for ten years.

  Suddenly, he felt a stir in his heart and slowly opened his eyes.

  On the spirit tablet, one of the name plates in the bottom row suddenly shattered.

  "Is it towards Zixuan? The youngest son of Eldest Brother Tianling? He's dead? Although it's a small matter, after all, he is the eldest brother's biological son, so let's inform him. As a member of our family, we can't just die in vain. Whoever killed him must be exterminated along with their entire clan."

  Tianhun closed his eyes, and a divine thought was transmitted out.

  Towards the direction of home, the main hall is grand.

  Xiang Tianling sat on the master seat at home, and below him were several middle-aged men.

  Toward Heaven Laugh, Toward Heaven River, Toward Lai Huai.

  Apart from the hidden trump card, these four people are the core of the Xiang family, manipulating the entire operation of the Xiang family and controlling everyone's fate.

  Even the several sons of Tianling were inferior to them in status.

  Smile at heaven, free and easy, independent, wandering around, highly talented, optimistic.

  He is in charge of all the family business and has a grip on the Xiang family's economic lifeline.

  Tianhe, Tianling's younger brother, majestic and powerful, with an abundance of mysterious energy, far surpassing ordinary people.

  He took charge of the Xiang family's vital forces and was responsible for all matters related to the Xiang family's clansmen.

  To Lai Huai, Commander of the Azure Eagle Knights, in charge of the Azure Eagle Knights, the strongest combat unit of the Lai family.

  At this time, they were discussing an important matter.

  The Bianhuang Prefecture underwent a huge change, the aura that belonged to Chu Tiange suddenly disappeared, and Chu Er and Chu San, who had always been by her side protecting her, were also nowhere to be seen.

  The entire Bianfang Prefecture, all of its people, vanished overnight, their whereabouts unknown.

  In other words, there are now only three major forces in Shanyang City: Beihuang Mansion, Nanhuang Mansion, and the Xiang family.

  The distribution of benefits, the struggle for power, everything will be redone, this is a big deal, must be negotiated, no one can make decisions alone.

  "The economic lifeline must be firmly grasped. However, Bianhuang Prefecture is not doing well on the surface, and the few businesses that exist have all disappeared. Tian Xiao, your task is the lightest." Xiang Tianling said calmly.

  He nodded slightly towards the sky with a smile.

  "Be on full alert, the Sky Eagle Knights are making a big move, don't let your guard down!" he said to Tianling.

  Nodded in agreement with Lai Huai.

  Suddenly, Xiang Tianling's face changed, and he stood up violently, bursting out with a terrifying aura, his hair standing on end, and his killing intent soaring into the sky.

  "What's wrong? Big Brother?" Xiang Tian smiled and took a look at Xiang Tianling's expression, immediately realizing that something big had happened.

  "Zixuan, the nameplate is shattered!" Xiang Tianling gritted his teeth: "Investigate thoroughly, pursue with all one's might! I want to see who dares to touch my son!"
