Chapter 399: The Beginning of the Assassination in the Night

Outside the door, the sound of hurried footsteps flowed in a certain direction. Just from the sound of the footsteps, one could feel that it was very chaotic.
When Xu Bai stepped out of the room with Ye Zi, he saw a few servant girls rushing towards the main entrance. There were some servants following behind the servant girls, and the servants were holding medicine boxes in their hands.
” Medicine box, is someone injured?” Xu Bai stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before following behind the group of maids.
Before long, they bypassed some luxurious buildings and finally arrived at the spacious front yard.
In the middle of the distance, there was a person lying down.
This person was very young and handsome. There was always a sense of emptiness in his eyes. The eye bags were very deep, adding to the feeling of kidney deficiency.
Beside this young man stood an old man with white hair. The old man was bent over, and his left hand was empty. It had already disappeared.
Xu Bai naturally knew these two people. They had talked to each other in the Yin Posthouse not long ago.
Kong Xu and Elder Sun.
When Xu Bai approached Kong Xu, he realized that there was still blood at the corner of Kong Xu’s mouth. His hands were hanging weakly by his sides. If it weren’t for the fact that his chest was still heaving up and down, he would have thought that Kong Xu was dead.
“Patriarch Ye, what’s going on?”Xu Bai asked.
The Ye Family Head was instructing his servants to apply medicine on Kong Xu. Kong Xu’s eyes were closed and he was in a deep sleep.
Hearing Xu Bai’s voice, the Ye family head turned around in a hurry and said,””l’m not sure either. They were already like this when they came. It seems that they were ambushed on the way. They can’t die here, or my Ye family won’t be able to escape.”
Early in the morning, Ye Clan Leader heard the servant girl running over hurriedly and saying that the second young master of the Kong family had arrived. He thought that this was a pleasant transaction, but he did not expect to see this scene when he rushed to the front yard.
Kong Xu was seriously injured on the way to the Ye Family. If he died here, she would not be able to explain herself. Although there was no clear evidence to prove that the Ye Family did it, she would still bear a grudge.
At that time, it would be difficult to explain. Ye Family Head naturally understood the true meaning of it, so he spent a lot of effort to stabilize Kong Xu’s injuries.
“You just need to recuperate for a period of time before you can get better.”The Ye Family Head raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Bai turned to Elder Sun and asked,””Did the two of you offend anyone along the way?
Compared to the Yin Posthouse, this Peak Level Two expert was in a rather sorry state. Having lost one hand, the bare-handed martial arts that he specialized in had lost half of its power.
Elder Sun’s face was pale.” We didn’t offend anyone. The ones who intercepted us were demons. There were countless demons. There were thousands of them, and the weakest was at the Fifth Stage.”
If one wanted a Level Two expert to fight hundreds or even thousands of them, he might be able to defeat them. However, if he wanted to fight thousands of them, he would be in a difficult position.
Although he was a Peak Rank-2, he knew how much he was capable of. His bare-handed martial arts were not top-notch, and his combat strength in Erping was only average.
” Thousands of demons?” “How could a large number of demons gather for no reason?” Xu Bai asked. It’s even more impossible for him to come and kill you for no reason. It seems that he really is a demon master.”
The demons had already been suppressed by the Great Chu Country until they could not breathe. They had all fled in all directions. It was simply impossible for thousands of demons to suddenly gather.
However, what if he was a demon master?
If there were a few hundred demon masters, each controlling a few more demons, they would be able to reach this level.
“With Lord Xu’s reminder, it’s really possible. But we didn’t provoke them.”Elder Sun was speechless.” Although this trip isn’t a top secret, we haven’t offended anyone. We’ve been very low-key along the way. Why would they come to surround and kill us?””
At this point, Elder Sun suddenly shut his mouth as if he had thought of someone.
Indeed, they had not offended anyone. Although they had a lot of people along the way, they were actually quite low-key. Other than resting, they were on the move. However, just because they had not offended anyone did not mean that no one wanted to get rid of them.
Young Master!
Elder Sun guessed that if the person was really targeting them, it could only be the eldest young master of the Kong family.
After leaving the capital, this was a great opportunity. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even though the Kong Family Head had already stated that he would not allow Kong Xu to compete with his big brother, to his big brother, a dead person was the safest.
The more he thought about it, the more Elder Sun felt that it was possible. He couldn’t help but shudder.

“It’s not him. He doesn’t have the ability.” At this moment, Kong Xu, who was almost healed, finally woke up from his coma. After understanding his condition, he spoke the first sentence, but he still looked very weak.
“Thousands of demons. If he really had the ability, he would have been eliminated by His Majesty long ago. His Majesty would not let these problems appear under his nose.”Kong Xu wanted to stand up weakly.”Kong Xu greets
Lord Xu.”
Xu Bai was speechless.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Kong Xu was being a little obsequious. Even though he was heavily injured, he still had to bow to him. To put it nicely, it was a matter of etiquette.. To put it bluntly, it was…
