When the wind blew, it was already dark. The leaves on the trees swayed along with the wind, and the dark clouds in the dark sky completely covered the last of the moonlight. The night sky and the forest street were covered in endless darkness, signalling the start of a new storm.
The night was dark and the wind was high. In the maple forest outside the city, the movement in the dark night had already begun.
A commotion broke the silence in the forest. Even though it was night time, he could still see shadows floating in the forest. Suddenly, a roar broke the silence in the forest.
"Master has ordered me to kill the Regent and reward him with a thousand taels of silver."
"Hmph, you think you can kill This King?!"
In the darkness, the man wore a purplish-gold embroidered python robe, a jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, white jade and gold at his waist. He wore a black jade hairband, and the fluttering black ribbon in the wind highlighted the man's figure even more.
The man waved his sleeve and the Qi blade flew towards the assassins, knocking them to the ground. Bright red blood spurted out and dyed the maple trees outside the city red, dyeing the moon that lost its light in the dark sky.
Even though the man's martial arts were unrivalled, he was not a man of God. His physical strength would eventually run out, and the number of assassins would not be small. Seeing the men gradually losing their strength, the killers' attacks became even fiercer.
Through the long night, the sounds of fighting filled the silent forest...
Time slowly passed.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, the corner of his mouth still dripping with blood. At this time, the man had already been cut several times, but the purple gold python robe covered his blood-red body, and the stench of blood in the air became increasingly thick.
Seeing that the man was severely injured, the leader of the assassins gathered all of his power into his sword and swung it towards the man. In this moment of life and death, a leaf floated down from the tree, but hidden within the tree was a deep layer of inner strength. In the blink of an eye, the leaf passed through the throat of the killer just now.
After that, leaves began to fall from the tree, and the number of swords that fell to the ground increased.
At this time, a graceful woman dressed in a long moon-white robe appeared in the darkness. The girl had a thin figure. Standing in the dark night, she was even more reflective and revealed the lightness of her body.
"Who are you? How dare you obstruct us?!"
He could feel an invisible pressure from it. Obviously, this pressure didn't come from the heavily injured Yu Lingjing, so it could only come from someone else. One of the killers asked the night.
"My surname is Qi. As for my name, only the dead know."
The woman in the white robe replied. Her voice was ethereal and distant, with no traces of her presence, revealing her deep inner strength.
The hitman saw that the one who came was Qi Wan County, heard the girl's arrogant words, and asked: "Qi Family, Martial Lin Family? This matter is not something that your Qi family can handle. Did he really have to stick his hand out and deal with this matter that he shouldn't care about? You'd better consider the cost before you answer. "
The corners of Qi Wan County's mouth raised as he coldly sneered, "The matter that I am about to meddle in is not something that you and other scoundrels would talk about."
The killer saw Qi Wanshi's tough attitude and could only clench his teeth and say, "Withdraw!" Yu Ling Jing, consider yourself lucky today, and you will come to take your life sooner or later. Qi Shengmo, since you've decided to interfere in this matter, you should accept the price! "
The assassin was forced to retreat and disappeared into the dark night. If these assassins didn't retreat soon, they would die in the hands of Qi Lang County.
After seeing the killer leave, Qi Wan County walked towards Yu Ling Jing who was standing on the ground in front of them. With a deep bow, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the Regent. I have come late to save you. Please forgive me."
Yu Lingjing helped Qi Dian, who was bowing and bowing to him, up, and then said, "I should be the one thanking Miss Qi for saving my life. Just now, if it wasn't for Miss Qi, I would have died a long time ago."
When Yu Ling Jing saw Qi Shu County's appearance, he couldn't help but look at it. His eyes became unmoving as he lamented her beauty. A beauty that could topple nations and topple nations, a beauty that could overturn heavens.
Seeing this, Qi Wan County said, "Prince, you are seriously injured. If you don't mind, please come to the Qi Mansion in front to recuperate!"
When Yu Ling Jing saw this, he recalled that his wounds just now were indeed unable to return to the palace or the barracks. If he didn't agree, then he probably wouldn't even be able to leave this forest, and so he agreed to Qi Shu's request.
"Thank you for saving my life, Miss Qi. Little Wang will never forget it! "
Qi Dian rushed forward to support the heavily injured Yu Ling Jing, and headed in the direction of the bullying.
Qi and Yu Ling County slowly disappeared into the bloody forest.
A white-robed, white-haired woman on top of a tree in the distance saw everything that happened, and could not help but frown, and whispered: "A storm is brewing, and the entire martial arts world will be in turmoil, not only will my two disciples survive in the dark." It is unknown what kind of predicament the people of this world will face. "
A gust of wind blew past. The white-haired woman disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only silence in order to return the earlier massacre in the Maple Forest.
On the second day after the assassination, there was no haze or loneliness like last night. The sky was blue and cloudless, and when one looked up at the sky, which symbolized the highest point of authority, they could still see the white crane flying through the clouds.
However, although the Residence of Crown Prince of the capital was under the clear sky and white clouds, it was not as warm and beautiful as it was outside. On the contrary, it was filled with a depressing atmosphere, like a black cloud pressing down on a city.
"Bastard, I have raised you trash for nothing. So many people were unable to kill the Regent on the way back to the capital, and I was even rescued!"
In the elegant and ancient room that highlighted the royal family's power, the yellow-robed man was furious when he heard the news of the failed assassination yesterday.
Strands of sunlight shone in through the window. The part of the sunlight that shone onto the yellow-robed Dragon Marked Jade Pendant revealed the haze on the man's face. Even though the man's face was extremely exquisite, it couldn't cover the fury in his heart.
The man couldn't help but tightly clench the Dragon Marked Jade Pendant in his hand as if it was shattered into pieces.
Her pitch-black brows tightly knitted, as she glanced at the person in front of her, and said in her heart, "This time, who was the one who intervened to obstruct me?"
A man dressed in black didn't dare to raise his head to look at the man in front of him.
He cupped his hands and replied, "Reporting to the crown prince, it's a woman with the surname Qi. We are no match for her."
Hearing the black-clothed assassin's reply, the jade in his hand couldn't help but break. With a cold laugh, he said, "A girl with the surname Qi? It seems like this old fart, Qi Shengmo, is going to oppose me to the end. I will let you know the price you have to pay for bad things that have happened to me. "
He couldn't help but think in his heart, since that woman's surname is Qi, the outside world says that you have no children, but everyone knows that you have an adopted daughter. Regardless if it's you or not, I will definitely get rid of you. Qi Shengmo, it seems like your Qi Mansion is at peace, your Qi Mansion should also be at an end!
He then said, "Make the arrangements to exterminate the Seven Deaths Houses within three days!" His sneer was the embodiment of viciousness.
Since you have blocked my path, I will not let you, the Qi family, live for one day!
Similarly, the day after the assassination in the Qi Province, although it did not have the oppressive aura of the capital's Crown Prince's Palace, it still emitted a gloomy aura.
Inside the classical pavilion in the Seventh Mansion, a pearl curtain separated the burly middle-aged man from the graceful and beautiful woman. The man's expression was solemn, revealing a strict aura, while the woman was gentle and graceful like water.
Even if a pearl curtain were to fall upon her eyes, it would still not be able to conceal her beautiful figure and her beauty that could topple empires and topple empires. She was like a fairy that had been scattered across the world, calm as a maiden and graceful as a dragon.
"Father, even if you don't want to get involved in the battle for the throne, it looks like you won't make it."
A gentle and beautiful voice came from the other side of the pearl curtain. It sounded just like the sound of nature.
"Since you are engaged to Yu Ling Jing, how can I not involve myself in the matter of my future son-in-law? Only, you acted too rashly last night, luckily you didn't expose your name. "
Hearing the sound coming from the other side of the pearl curtain, Qi Shengmo replied with a smile.
"Father, I am not acting rashly, it is just that things happened too suddenly, I don't have the time to report to you. If I had acted a little later, the Regent King, Ling Jing, would have already passed on. "But now that I've saved Yu Ling Jing, I'm afraid that this undercurrent has already flooded into the Qi Residence."
After hearing his father's words, Qi Shu couldn't help but frown as she slowly spoke.
Qi Wan County was very worried. He was afraid that the Qi family would become the next target of the Crown Prince. The Qi Mansion would never be at peace, and this martial arts Lin was going to be involved in this bloody storm that did not belong to him. Perhaps, Qi Tong already knew that the Qi family hadn't made their position known in the martial arts world. This calamity would surely come, and it was just a matter of time.
After the woman finished speaking, the two of them did not continue their conversation. The room was so quiet that even the rustling of the grass could be heard outside.
On the second day after the failure of the assassination attempt, the weather was still very beautiful. However, what was out of place was that the Qi Mansion of the Martial House and the majestic Crown Prince's Palace were covered in a layer of haze.
In the capital's crown prince's mansion, a man dressed in dragon robes was playing chess alone in a pavilion in the garden. As soon as the black piece on his left hand landed on the board, the white piece on his right hand had yet to fall, but he glanced at the person beside him.
"Tonight, I must get rid of this stumbling block known as the Qi Residence. Otherwise, let's raise our heads and meet them! "
Hearing the man's order, even if it was difficult this time, he could only bite the bullet and agree.
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
After he finished speaking, he disappeared within the pavilion, and at the same time, wave after wave of black-clothed masked men gathered at the Seven Palaces. Tonight, the Seven Palaces were fated to be a place of slaughter.
After nightfall, the black clouds pressed down on the city and the howling wind was the complete opposite of the beautiful day.
There was a slight disturbance in the treetops, and the candle flame in the room was also slightly shaking. Qi Wan was sitting by the window, slowly drinking the new tea that had just been poured, and looking at the scene outside, she thought to herself, It's finally here, but much faster than I thought. Qi Shengmo, who was sitting in front of the desk with a book in his hand, indifferently said.
"What should come will eventually come."
A man in dark clothes said from outside the door.
"Patriarch, Miss, the guest is here. "And they didn't come with good intentions."
Hearing the words of the person outside, Qi Shengmo, who was reading, only replied with one word.
"Fight!"
In an instant, the great Seven Palaces were filled with people. Today, the annihilation of the Seven Palaces was inevitable.
Qi Shengmo, who was still dressed in blue ink and had a burly figure, could not help but laugh when he saw this scene.
"The Crown Prince is really praising my small Qi Residence."
After these words, the servants in the Qi Mansion fought with the numerous assassins in the dark of the night.
Even if everyone in the Qi Residence knew martial arts, even if the Patriarch of the Qi Family had superb martial arts, and the young miss of the Qi Family Qi Shu County had exceptional martial arts, it would eventually be difficult to defeat this batch of assassins who had undergone special training. To be more accurate, it should be the hidden guards personally trained by the crown prince of the imperial court, Yu Hanfeng.
The sword light was sharp, the Qi family's blood dyed the sharp sabre edge red, dyed the blooming flowers of the Qi family forest courtyard red, the originally beautiful flowers were dyed with blood, it was even more enchanting, even more so a hint from hell.
During the battle, the Qi family would eventually fall into a pool of blood. The originally clean Qi Mansion was now in a state of chaos, and blood was flowing like a river.
Tonight, over five hundred members of the Qi family, regardless of their gender or age, had died in this undercurrent.
