dawn.

The great commercial capital is so oppressive that it is hard to breathe.

The third prince Mu Yao was assassinated, his cultivation was completely ruined, the three sacred treasures were completely destroyed, and it was impossible to practice martial arts again in this life.

In fact, even the mountain priest who protected the way of the third prince died and his body was missing.

In less than five days, two royal ministers were killed in battle. The dignitaries in the court who knew a little bit about the inside story knew that the situation in the capital was about to change.

The Li family, who had always been forbearing, finally showed off their sharp fangs.

Now let's see how the man from Shou'an Palace will deal with it.

Should we completely break up with each other, or should we choose to keep it secret?

The power of the Li family has exceeded expectations, and is even a little scary.

They are worshiped by the royal family and killed at will, which shows how terrifying the Li family's strength is.

What is even more intriguing is the attitude of the Li family.

The purpose of deposing the third prince but not killing him is thought-provoking.

Imperial Palace, Shouan Hall.

King Yunyi entered the palace early and reported the situation of the third prince.

"Three different injuries?"

When Emperor Shang heard King Yunyi's report, his expression darkened and he said, "So, there were three assassins who attacked Lao San?"

"good."

King Yunyi nodded and said in a solemn voice, "Moreover, the wounds on His Highness's body do not match the weapons used by the assassins enshrined in Shashan. From this, we can infer that there were four assassins in total who went to kill His Highness last night."

"Four great practitioners of the Five Realms?"

Shang Huang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "What a great effort. Can you find out where these people come from?"

"Can't find out."

King Yunyi shook his head and said, "The four assassins moved very fast. When I arrived, they had already left. However, judging from their acting style, they did not look like ordinary great practitioners of the Five Realms, but more like professionals.

Killer."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Emperor Shang narrowed his eyes and said, "Professional killer? You mean, the Li family pays for murder?"

"It is indeed possible."

King Yunyi nodded and said, "However, there is another possibility."

Having said this, King Yunyi paused and said seriously, "These people were trained by the Li family."

After Emperor Shang heard this, he stopped holding the chess piece with his eyes full of coldness and said, "Four great cultivators of the Five Realms who are good at assassination cannot be cultivated just by wanting to cultivate them. It is unlikely."

"What your Majesty said is indeed reasonable."

King Yunyi said in a deep voice, "Then there is another possibility. The Li family has secretly recruited many strong men who are good at assassination to fight against the imperial court."

"That's not right either."

Emperor Shang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There is no airtight wall in the world. If these killers were secretly recruited by the Li family, there shouldn't be any clues."

"Has Your Majesty ever heard of Yanyu Tower?" King Yunyi said seriously.

"The number one killer organization in the world, Yanyulou?"

Emperor Shang frowned slightly and said, "I have heard that Yanyu Tower has developed rapidly in recent years and has almost annexed most of the killer organizations. Why, do you suspect that the four killers came from Yanyu Tower?"

"good."

King Yunyi nodded and said, "Yanyu Tower is in the business of collecting money and buying lives. It's not surprising that the Li family is the richest in the world and cooperates with Yanyu Tower."

After hearing King Yunyi's analysis, Emperor Shang showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Indeed, this is the most likely possibility.

I just don’t know how deeply involved the Li family is with Yanyu Tower.

This time, even Shang Huang did not expect that the first floor in the world belonged to the Li family.

After all, there are almost two worlds between the two, and there has never been any intersection.

No one could have imagined that the Li family had been planning for this day for twelve years.

The person who arranged the arrangement was Li Ziye, the seemingly most useless playboy of the Li family.

In the past twelve years, the Li family and Yanyu Tower have never been involved in any way, just to prevent others from connecting the Li family and Yanyu Tower.

Yanyu Tower is the Li family's last trump card. It is absolutely not allowed to be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

If Li Ziye was still in the capital now, he wouldn't even be able to use the power of Yanyu Tower.

To take revenge on the royal family, one does not necessarily have to go to the Five Realms.

Unfortunately, nothing could be possible. Li Ziye had already gone south and didn't know what was happening in the capital.

"Go check this Yanyu Tower."

In the Shouan Palace, Emperor Shang thought for a long time and said, "Let's see if the Li family has anything to do with it."

"yes!"

King Yunyi accepted the order and turned to leave.

"Third brother, how's it going?"

When King Yunyi was about to leave, behind him, Emperor Shang seemed to have just remembered the situation of his third son and asked.

At the entrance of the main hall, King Yunyi stopped, turned around, and replied, "He is still in a coma, but his life is safe. As for his cultivation, he will definitely not be able to keep it, and he will not be able to practice martial arts again in the future."

Hearing this, Emperor Shang nodded slightly and said, "Let's do the work."

"I excuse myself."

King Yunyi bowed again, then turned and left.

Inside the palace.

Shang Huang stood up, came to the window, and looked in the direction of Li Yuan. His sinister eyes were so deep that it was hard to see what he was thinking.

How much power does the Li family have that has not yet surfaced?

The identities of those four people are key.

What is the attitude of the four great practitioners of the Five Realms who are good at assassination in helping the Li family?

Unknown land.

The clouds are shrouded in mist.

At sunset, the clouds disperse and the fog disappears.

A towering pavilion appeared, and the door rumbled open.

Outside the pavilion, four shadow killers came one after another.

In the misty rain building.

Li Qingzhi sat high on the chair of the building owner. Beside him, Hua Feng stood holding a knife, with a stern face and a serious expression.

Not long after.

The four shadow killers walked in and saluted respectfully, "Master."

"Hard."

Li Qingzhi said calmly, "The reward will be given to you later. Now, go back to your place."

Tian Zhi Que, Xuan Ming and others looked startled when they heard this. Soon, they seemed to understand something and walked towards their positions without saying anything.

On the steps in front of the building's owner's seat, four people stood silently. Their auras were not obvious, but they still gave people an unspeakable pressure.

In the Yanyu Tower, which is not visible or dew, including Hua Fengdu, the deputy building owner who is comparable to the fifth realm, a total of six great cultivators of the fifth realm stood there quietly, waiting patiently, as if they were waiting for something important.

people.

It didn't take long.

Outside the Yanyu Tower, a young man wearing blood-red clothes stepped forward. His face was handsome, his eyes were hollow and enchanting.

Judging from his face, he turned out to be Akamatsu Haru, who had been missing for a long time.

"Red candle."

From the host's seat, Li Qingzhi opened his mouth and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Ten percent."

From the darkness, the red candle came out and answered.

Attention.
