If not for Xie Qingrong's special training methods, these youths would probably only be like these hidden guards, only knowing some common killing methods.
At this moment, their figures weirdly shuttled back and forth in the smoke, easily killing off the hidden guards whose martial arts were no weaker than theirs.
Mystic One reckoned that he had killed five or six of the hidden guards around the corner. There should still be half of the hidden guards remaining in the secret chamber up ahead. That should be more than enough to deal with them.
Before they had even reached the secret chamber, the dark guards who had heard such a loud noise could no longer sit still. They all came out to search for the person who had entered.
Just as the smoke was about to disperse, Mystic One heard the sound of running footsteps coming from not too far away.
He immediately sprinted forward and confronted the five dark guards that were running towards him.
It was unknown who made the first move, but Mystic One and the dark guards were locked in combat. Mystic One against five, attracting the attention of the five guards. The remaining seven youths saw this and shook their wrists.
Half squatting, they aimed at the dark guards in front of them who were constantly moving around. These dark guards were like moving, live targets in front of them.
With a 'whoosh' sound, three crossbow bolts pierced through the chest of the guards and they fell to the ground lifeless.
When the remaining two guards saw this, they pounced on Mystic One with no care for their lives. As they continued to fight with Mystic One, the sky filled with killing moves, one after another, were thrown at Mystic One.
The seven youngsters ran forward, tightly surrounding the three people fighting, and then joined in the battle.
Soon enough, one of the guards had his neck wiped clean, fresh red blood spurting out of his neck. The other guard had his back stabbed by Mystic One and had no breath left.
Xuan brought the teenagers and ran towards the secret chamber. When they arrived, they were deeply shocked by the scene before their eyes.
Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.
In the center of the room, there was only a single desk. At the edge of the room, there were three bookshelves that were densely packed with files. Each bookshelf had a string that allowed one to retrieve the files they needed.
What was shocking wasn't the setup, but the numerous files in front of him. No one knew how much information was contained within them.
Mystic One suddenly recalled the words that her master had said before the operation.
"If we can't send the information back, then we'll just destroy it."
Even if they spent three days and three nights, they wouldn't be able to finish shipping all of these files.
In that case, he could only destroy these files one by one. It was just a pity. If he didn't gather this information in three to five years, he wouldn't be able to do so. It had been destroyed so easily. Alas, alas.
Mystic One sighed and said, "You must have brought some fire strings with you. Wrap this place, this place, and this place up to date. Make sure that all of these items are burned down."
Mystic One led the seven of them out and met up with the other team.
Both sides had already settled down, leaving behind only the secret chamber. Mystic One had ignited the line of fire, burning it all the way down. Even if the secret chamber was on fire, no one would know of it.
However, Xie Qingrong's goal was not only to destroy Xuanyuan Jing's information pavilion, but also to destroy the entire Feng Ya Pavilion.
Thus, after the secret room was set on fire, the Feng Ya Pavilion's room started to blaze as well.
The fire gradually spread out, and upon seeing that it was about time, the fire brought the ten over youths of profound mechanism along with it, leaving no traces behind. Even if there were traces left behind, they would have been completely destroyed in the raging flames.
By then, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the capital had arrived at the Lake of Beauty to participate in this grand auction.
Xie Qingrong was also among them, her goal was to get rid of him, but in the end, she was still implicated, and even if Xuanyuan Jing did not have any evidence, he could not do anything about it.
The fierce fire gradually spread through the Feng Ya Pavilion. If not for the fact that the rear courtyard of the Feng Ya Pavilion was broken off from the rest of the people's residences, Xie Qingrong might not have burned down the entire Feng Ya Pavilion.
At this moment, time was of the essence.
As the fire raged, it gradually grew in intensity. A thick smoke rose from the Feng Ya Pavilion and some people at home seemed to be able to smell the burnt smell in the air.
When he walked out of his house, he discovered that the nearby Feng Ya Pavilion was actually wreathed in raging flames and thick smoke was billowing out. He hurried to the capital's yamen to report the case.
Fortunately, the Beijing Zhaoyin was still sorting out the documents. Upon hearing the news, she immediately brought a group of people to the Feng Ya Pavilion.
However, it was already too late. The enormous fire could not be extinguished at all. However, he still ordered his subordinates to save the fire.
Buckets of water were drawn from the nearby river and poured over the fire.
But it was just a drop in the bucket.
The surrounding people all came out with their buckets of water, helping to extinguish the fire. Even though they normally hated roadside willow like the Feng Ya Pavilion, at this moment, they couldn't care too much about it. It was more important to put out the fire first.
Xuanyuan Jing was sitting on the boat while drinking wine by himself, when a servant hurriedly entered the cubicle and whispered a few words into his ear.
The cynical smile on Xuanyuan Jing's face quickly disappeared as the expression on his face darkened.
He quickly left the large ship, boarded a small boat, and sped towards the river bank.
When he hurried over, Beijing Zhaoyin was there commanding the citizens to extinguish the fire.
When Beijing Zhaoyin turned around, she saw Xuanyuan Jing and hurriedly bowed, "Good morning, King Jing. I wonder why King Jing is here? "
"No need for formalities, Master Yin. I was just strolling around nearby. I noticed that the area was filled with flames and thick smoke, so I came to take a look." "Sorry to disturb you, Lord Yin."
Xuanyuan Jing restrained the gloomy look on his face and revealed a gentle and modest smile.
"This King isn't sure either. This King only came over to take a look because I was worried. Since there is Lord Yin here, I can go back to the manor without worry. I hope that Master Yin can find out what is going on. "
"Please rest assured Your Highness, this official will investigate this matter thoroughly."
However, the Beijing Zhaoyin was a little suspicious of Xuanyuan Jing. After all, the murder case at the Flower Lantern Festival, when the clues reached the King Jing, would be solved. Now that Feng Ya Pavilion was in a huge fire, how could there be so many coincidences in this world when King Jing was just passing by?
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Jing nodded, and turned to leave. Just as he turned around, Xuanyuan Jing's gentle and courteous smile collapsed, and his face became extremely gloomy.
