A quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian returned to the small courtyard again.
The brief exchange just now did not attract anyone's attention, so the surroundings were still quiet as usual. Only the broken wood scattered beside the side room proved what had just happened here.
He cautiously looked inside through the window, pulled out the Shadow Sword and slowly walked into the side room.
The previously burning candle had long been extinguished, and Pei Dajun, who fell in a pool of blood, remained motionless. It was difficult to distinguish between life and death under the weak moonlight.
Wei Changtian walked over step by step, always wary of the latter suddenly jumping up and acting like a corpse for himself.
But after all, we were not filming a zombie movie, so until Wei Changtian used the back of his knife to turn Pei Dajun over, the latter never made any move.
Dead?
He squinted his eyes and leaned over to test Pei Dajun's breath.
It's very weak, but it's intermittent and hasn't stopped.
This shows that Pei Dajun survived after being slapped hard by Qin Zhengqiu.
But in this case, death is probably not far away.
After thinking for a moment, I carefully checked every detail in the house and determined that there were no more valuable clues.
Wei Changtian casually picked up the unconscious Pei Dajun, then walked out of the side room and took out a command fire from his arms.
This was given to him by Pei Dajun before, saying that he could use it in case of emergency. After seeing the order, the surrounding watchmen would rush to support as soon as possible.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don’t know how these people will react when they see Pei Dajun like this.
He muttered in his mind and immediately twisted the mechanism at the bottom of the bamboo tube.
"Whoosh!"
"boom!!!"
Huge golden petals bloomed in the sky, lighting up a corner of Fengyuan City.
The watchmen scattered in the city looked up at the night sky, and immediately rushed towards the location reflected by the golden flower.
At the same time, in an alley more than ten miles away, Qin Zhengqiu slowly stopped with an ugly expression on his face.
"well......"
A red fish as big as a cow was swimming back and forth above his head, but Qin Zhengqiu couldn't see it. He just looked at the end of the alley and sighed softly.
The opponent's magical ability to "walk through walls" was too useful for escaping in such complex terrain, so he still couldn't keep up.
But he also used the Moon-Challenging Sword Technique to severely injure the monster, so it was not without gain.
"Moon Picking Sword..."
He frowned slightly and shook his body, shaking off the dust on his robe.
Qin Zhengqiu repeatedly recalled the scene when he used the Moon Sword just now, with a rather complicated expression on his face.
From the moment he ascends to the throne, he will be able to practice the Moon Sword to perfection in just a few dozen days.
Normally, the feeling is not very obvious when I practice swordsmanship, but when I just exerted my swordsmanship with all my strength, the discomfort of being manipulated was particularly severe.
Qin Zhengqiu knew that this was not an obsession, but he also understood that it might be more terrifying than an obsession.
After all, there will never be such a cheap thing in the world.
A sword technique that seems simple to learn but is incredibly powerful must have a huge price hidden behind it.
But...Qin Zhengqiu is not ready to stop here.
Because he sensed an opportunity to break through to the first level in the Moon-Challenging Sword.
Actually, it's not quite accurate to say it's "feeling".
It was more like there was an extremely convincing voice reminding him repeatedly in his mind——
As long as you keep practicing, you can reach the first level, or even...
Become an immortal.
...
...
Half an hour later.
Princess Mansion.
The dying Pei Dajun has been sent back and is currently receiving treatment in a certain guest room.
However, according to the imperial doctor, there is little hope. At most, he can only survive for a while.
"......That's it."
"Brother Chu, what do you think we should do next?"
Standing outside the room, Wei Changtian told Chu Xianping exactly what happened tonight.
After hearing this, the latter didn't even ask Qin Zhengqiu about the situation there, but immediately grasped the top priority.
"Sir, the key to all this now lies with Senior Zhang."
"Now that Pei Dajun has sent a killer, Senior Zhang is in a very dangerous situation at this time."
"I'm worried that the Shimen Escort Bureau can't handle it. We must send someone to respond immediately!"
"Well, indeed."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Let's do this, Brother Chu. The situation is urgent now, and I'm afraid it will be too slow to find someone from Fengyuan to take care of it."
"Didn't Captain Wang and the others already pick up Lao Zhang?"
"You first go to the Shimen Escort Bureau and ask them where they are at this time. Then I will discuss with Li Wutong or Li Qi and ask the nearby government to send someone to escort them back directly!"
"So much better."
Chu Xianping immediately responded: "I'll go to the Shimen Escort Agency right now."
"good."
Wei Changtian nodded, and at the same time summoned Yun Yan out of his body, ordering the latter to follow Chu Xianping.
After personally experiencing the power of the "Eye of Yama", Wei Changtian is now worried that Bai Youheng will attack others around him, so he must be more cautious.
Watching Chu Xianping leave quickly with Yun Yan, he turned and glanced at Pei Dajun who was being "rescued" in the room.
Wei Changtian was just about to take a sip of water when Li Wutong, who had been waiting outside the room for a long time, walked in.
She had actually been here a long time ago, but she just saw Wei Changtian talking to Chu Xianping, so she kept waiting outside.
"your Highness."
He poured a cup of herbal tea by himself, and while drinking it, Wei Changtian asked: "What's wrong?"
"Master Wei, what happened tonight?"
Although Li Wutong tried his best to keep his expression cold, he could not completely hide the eagerness in his eyebrows.
"Oh, I saw Yama..."
Wei Changtian didn't hide anything, he recounted tonight's "castration version" experience again in a few words.
"What? Master Pei is actually the work of Yama?!"
Li Wutong's eyes suddenly widened and he subconsciously took a step forward.
However, she quickly noticed her gaffe, so she immediately pretended to be calm and asked again:
"Then have you ever fought against Yama?"
"Yeah, but I couldn't kill it."
Wei Changtian sighed: "Oh, now my grandfather is still chasing him, but he may also return without success."
"Is it......"
Li Wutong's tone was a little hesitant.
She wanted to ask Wei Changtian if he was injured, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, she swallowed her words back. She just quietly looked up and down at Wei Changtian, and was secretly relieved when she saw that the latter had no wounds on his body.
"Mr. Wei, if you need my help for anything, just ask."
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, in that case..."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "I really want to ask the princess for help with something."
"Young Master, it's okay to say so."
Li Wutong's face instantly became extremely serious: "As long as it has something to do with Yama, I will ask my father for help even if I can't do it."
"It's not that troublesome."
Wei Changtian stood up and said, "There is a person on his way to Fengyuan now, but he may be in danger."
"Please also ask the princess to inform the government offices along the way and ask them to send someone to escort this person safely to Fengyuan."
"Pick someone up?"
Li Wutong subconsciously asked: "Who is this person?"
"he......"
Wei Changtian paused, and then answered slowly under Li Wutong's gaze.
"Perhaps he is the mysterious swordsman who killed Yama sixty years ago."
