The sky gradually became brighter, and the crowds in the streets and alleys of Qincheng were discussing what happened last night, and were very curious about the origins of the assassins.
In a palace, Xiao Muyang was sitting in the front seat. On his left and right sides were the heads of the four major families, who were discussing how to deal with last night's events.
After all, Prince Yue's Mansion is involved, and some things must be made clear.
"The assassin last night was sent by the Crown Prince of Yue to kill me. As for the reason, I think everyone knows it." Xiao Muyang looked at everyone and said: "I just emphasize one point, strictly block the news and don't let the news get out, otherwise it will cause trouble.
disaster."
"I've already given the order. No one from the Cheng family will leak the news." Cheng Zhan was the first to speak.
"The same goes for the Lu family." Lu Yuanshan also echoed.
At this time, the faces of Han Sheng and Wang Luan looked a little ugly. They did not know in advance that the assassin was from the Yue Prince's Mansion, otherwise they would never get involved, but the person has been killed, and now they cannot escape and can only
Take it down bravely.
Xiao Muyang glanced at Han Sheng and Wang Luan and asked, "What do you two think?"
"We will block the news and never spread a word." Han Sheng said in a deep voice. He naturally understood the stakes involved. If people knew that the assassin they killed last night was from the Yue Palace, how could they bear the crime?
rise.
"That's good." Xiao Muyang nodded lightly and said, "You all came to the rescue last night. Xiao will never treat you badly in the future."
"I just hope that Qinzi will reach the top of Donghua Mansion in the future and don't forget to wait for me." Han Sheng said. Now that he has paid a huge price for Xiao Muyang, he is considered a member of the same boat. Naturally, he hopes that Xiao Muyang can achieve something.
, this way the Han family can also benefit.
"It's natural." Xiao Muyang replied with a smile. Although he had enmity with the Han family before, the Han family also sent people to rescue last night. He will not forget this kindness.
"I originally planned to stay in Qincheng for a few more days, but after what happened last night, I was worried that something might happen in the future, so I left to return to Beihu County today." Xiao Muyang said again.
"If they continue to assassinate, how should Qinzi respond?" Cheng Zhan asked. With their help last night, it was just a false alarm. If they left Qin City, the people around Xiao Muyang might not be enough to watch.
"I have also considered this, so I have a grudge." Xiao Muyang said.
"Qinzi, please tell me, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I should try my best to help." Lu Yuanshan said, having decided to regard Xiao Muyang as Qinzi, he should spare no effort to protect his growth, otherwise, what was the purpose of everything they had done before?
"I would like to ask a Tianxiang from each of the four major families to accompany me back to Beihu County. I don't know what you think." Xiao Muyang replied.
"Each one has a celestial sign."
The faces of Cheng Zhan and others changed. Although the four major families have some background, they don't have many celestial figures. Almost all of them are elders in the family. Even if they are the heads of the family, it is difficult to order them to do anything. After all, seniority matters.
There.
"This matter is important. I need to go back to my family to convene a meeting. I will give Qinzi a reply as soon as possible." Cheng Zhan looked at Xiao Muyang and said.
"We also need to go back and discuss it." Han Sheng and others spoke one after another.
"Thank you all." Xiao Muyang thanked him. He knew that this request was a bit inappropriate. Even though he had Qinzi's identity, the celestial figures were the top powers of each family and would not be easily dispatched in normal times. Therefore, regardless of whether they
He wouldn't mind if someone came out in the end.
After a while, Cheng Zhan and the others left the palace.
Not long after Cheng Zhan and others left, Yao Ke, Situ Zhantian and Xuan Tian walked in. Xiao Muyang looked at Yao Ke and immediately asked: "Senior, how is Uncle Mu's injury?"
"It's very serious." Medicine King said with a solemn face, which made Xiao Muyang's heart sink. Medicine King was a fifth-grade alchemist. Even he thought it was very serious. One can imagine how tragic injuries Uncle Mu suffered last night.
When he thought of this, Xiao Muyang felt a heartbreaking pain. It was he who had caused Uncle Mu to suffer.
"He was seriously injured to begin with. An extremely powerful demonic poison remained in his body, constantly eroding his body. Coupled with this injury, if it weren't for his physical strength, he would have lost his life at this moment." Yao Ke said.
Said: "After I return, I will refine a healing elixir for him. It should be able to save his life, but his strength may be reduced a lot."
"As long as you can survive, it doesn't matter if your strength decreases." Xiao Muyang said quickly. When he arrives in the Daqi Dynasty, he will definitely be able to find a powerful alchemist to cure Uncle Mu's injuries.
"Well, this matter is taken care of by me." Yao Ke nodded.
"I heard that you plan to ask a celestial being from each family to accompany you back to Beihu County. What did they say?" Situ Changhe suddenly spoke.
"They went back to discuss it. I don't know what the result will be." Xiao Muyang replied.
"Now that you have been appreciated by the master of the palace, you have a transcendent status, and your future achievements will be limitless. I think they will agree to your request." Xuan Tianyi analyzed.
"I will not join the Donghua Mansion." Xiao Muyang looked at everyone and said, it was time to make that matter clear to everyone.
At this moment, Yao Ke and others' eyes froze, thinking that they were hallucinating, but Xiao Muyang actually said that he would not join Donghua Mansion.
"Are you serious?" Yao Ke asked with a very serious look. This matter was very important. He was worried that Xiao Muyang would make a regretful decision impulsively.
"I originally planned to join Donghua Mansion, but later I learned that there are people from my sect in Taihua Mountain, so I planned to join Taihua Mountain." Xiao Muyang said truthfully, here are all seniors he trusts, and there is nothing to hide.
"Did that young man in white tell you?" Yao Ke asked curiously. He knew that a man in white came uninvited to the Donghua Banquet and claimed to be from Liuxian Pavilion in Taihua Mountain.
"Exactly." Xiao Muyang nodded and said: "The people from my sect specially ordered him to come to Donghua Mansion to inform me about this matter, so I can only give up Donghua Mansion."
Yao Ke and others fell silent after hearing this.
There is nothing wrong with Xiao Muyang's decision. After all, he is from the master's sect, so the relationship is naturally closer than that of Donghua Mansion. Moreover, the other party ordered people to come all the way to Donghua Mansion to convey the news, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Xiao Muyang.
"How do you plan to explain to the Palace Master?" Yao Ke asked.
"That senior brother said that he would inform the Palace Master about this. When I plan to leave Donghua Palace, I will go to Donghua Palace in person to apologize to the Palace Master." Xiao Muyang replied, knowing very well in his heart that the prestige he has gained now is incompatible with the Palace Master.
We have an inseparable relationship with the Lord and should apologize face to face no matter what.
"The palace master is magnanimous and shouldn't make things difficult for you, a junior." Yao Ke replied softly.
A few hours later, several figures appeared outside the palace, three old men and a middle-aged man, all with unfathomable auras.
They entered the palace directly. When Xiao Muyang saw them, a bright smile burst out on his face and he said, "Thank you all for coming to help."
These four people are naturally the powerful celestial beings dispatched by the four major families.
"The head of the family asked us to go to Beihu County with Qinzi. As long as Qinzi has entrustment, we will do our best to help." One of the old men said.
"Senior, you're welcome." Xiao Muyang smiled and said, "Without further delay, we will set off now."
"Okay." The four of them nodded at the same time. Now that they came to help Xiao Muyang, they naturally had to follow Xiao Muyang's arrangements.
Not long after, Xiao Muyang and others appeared outside the palace. Just as they were about to leave, a group of figures came from a distance. They were Cheng Zhan, Han Sheng and other four aristocratic families, obviously coming to say goodbye to Xiao Muyang.
They sent Xiao Muyang and others to the gate of Qin City and stopped.
"Qinzi, take care of yourself along the way." Cheng Zhan said in a solemn tone. After what happened last night, he was a little worried about Xiao Muyang's safety.
"Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiao Muyang looked at Han Sheng, Lu Yuanshan and others again, and said, "We'll say goodbye here today and see you again in the future."
After saying that, Xiao Muyang walked forward, followed by Chu Qingli, Yao Ke and others.
Cheng Zhan looked at the figures that were gradually retreating, with an unfathomable meaning in his eyes. He didn't know when they would meet next time, and how far Xiao Muyang would have grown by then.
…………
In Donghua City, the palace where everyone from the Yue Palace lived, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the space seemed to have solidified.
At this time, there were many figures standing in the palace, all with their heads lowered and expressions of awe. They looked at the figure in the front from time to time. They felt frightened and did not dare to make the slightest movement for fear of offending him.
Last night, all the life beads of those people were broken, which means that all the people sent out died, and no one survived.
As for whether Xiao Muyang is dead or not, they don't know yet, but they all have a strong intuition in their hearts that Xiao Muyang is probably not dead. After all, those people are dead. It can be seen that Xiao Muyang is protected by strong people.
This operation ended in complete failure.
The Crown Prince hated Xiao Muyang so much that he sent so many strong men to kill him, but none of them were killed. All the people he sent were wiped out. You can imagine how bad the Crown Prince's mood was at this time, and they did not dare to speak out at all.
"I am here for everything, so why do you need to worry about it?" At this moment, an old voice came from outside the palace, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Everyone turned their eyes and saw an old man with white hair walking slowly towards him. His face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes were extremely sharp, giving people a sense of power without anger.
At this moment, everyone in the palace looked in awe, and respectfully shouted to the white-haired old man: "I have met Mr. Lin."
This white-haired old man is the old man next to the King of Yue. His name is Lin Yao. He is the most powerful among the people who escorted Qi Fan to Donghua Mansion this time. He has reached the late stage of Tianxiang cultivation.
Regardless of prestige or strength, Lin Yao was extremely powerful, so everyone respectfully called him Mr. Lin and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
At this time, Qi Fan turned around and looked at Lin Yao who was walking in front. His expression softened a bit and he said: "Mr. Lin."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go there in person, I will definitely bring that boy's head to you." Lin Yao spoke calmly, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
However, there was no joy in Qi Fan's eyes and he waved his hand: "No need."
"Your Majesty, you don't believe me?" Lin Yao frowned. He was a person at the top of the celestial realm. He was able to walk around Donghua Mansion. How could he not kill a junior in the celestial realm?
"Of course I believe in Mr. Lin's strength, but now Xiao Muyang is being protected by Gong Ling's people. To kill him forcefully would be to break up with Gong Ling. It's not worth it for a little person." Qi Fan said.
This operation should have been foolproof, but the final result was that the entire army was annihilated. It can be seen that there is a powerful force behind Xiao Muyang. If he guessed correctly, that force is Donghua Mansion.
And given how much Gong Ling attaches great importance to Xiao Muyang, it is very likely that he will have someone secretly protect him.
All his people were killed. From this, we can see Gong Ling's attitude. If he sends people to kill Xiao Muyang again, regardless of whether he can be killed, the relationship with Donghua Mansion must be completely broken.
Although he doesn't need to care too much about Gong Ling due to his status, he might be useful in the Donghua Mansion in the future. If it would be harmful rather than beneficial to him to form a deadly feud, he should take a longer view and not just because of it.
A small loss leads to a big loss.
Lin Yao's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he immediately understood Qi Fan's thoughts and asked: "So, does the prince intend to let that boy go?"
"Keep him alive for the time being. There will always be a chance to meet again in the future. It won't be too late to kill him then." Qi Fan said with extremely gloomy eyes. He had so many strong men under his command that it would be easy to kill a small person.
"Now that the prince has made a decision in his heart, I won't say anything more. It's business now. When does the prince plan to return to the palace?" Lin Yao asked.
"I'll go back in a few days." Qi Fan replied. After saying that, he looked at the people in front of him, his expression became extremely majestic, and he said coldly: "I'm not allowed to reveal even half of the things here to the prince. If I know that the news is leaked,
Once we get out, no one here can escape!"
"This..." Everyone's expressions changed with shock when they heard this, and they all replied: "We will definitely keep it secret and never tell anyone about it."
They knew very well that if the prince knew that the prince sent people to kill a powerful figure, and the entire army was wiped out, he would definitely rebuke the prince, and they would be the ones who suffered!
