Duanmu Lei's death also brought an end to this martial arts competition.
Facing Xiao Changfeng who holds the Wind Shadow Sword, no one dares to take the stage to fight again.
In the end, Xiao Changfeng won the first place.
…
Although the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is over, the entire Kyoto is still immersed in excitement and hustle and bustle.
In the martial arts competition, the genius of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, kills with one sword, a double dragon.
And those domineering words at the end.
All have become topics of conversation among the people.
And Xiao Changfeng's name is like a new sun, rising slowly and being revered by countless people.
Although Xiao Changfeng was famous in the palace before, not many people knew about him.
Even outside the peony auction house, there were only tens of thousands of witnesses.
But this time, millions of people witnessed it.
The name of the Ninth Prince completely moved the whole city.
The most eye-catching thing is the statement of a double dragon.
After all, the eldest prince's talent is well known to everyone, and he is the best among people.
And this time Xiao Changfeng showed his edge and talent.
Countless people celebrated, thinking that the thousand-year prosperity of the Dawu Dynasty was about to begin.
However, many wealthy and aristocratic families have ugly faces and endless thoughts.
Duke Wei's Mansion!
In the deepest courtyard, Wei Guogong and Wei Yanqing stood here.
The cold springs are tinkling and the cold wind is hunting.
However, the coldness of this winter is not as good as the eventuality in the eyes of Duke Wei.
"Yan Qing, what do you think of today's events?"
Duke Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the white snow in the bamboo forest. His voice was as deep as the sea.
"Grandpa, we have underestimated him in the past!"
Wei Yanqing responded respectfully, but the shock lingered in his eyes.
Xiao Changfeng had previously killed the eighth prince and the twelfth prince.
He even abolished the second and third princes.
Everyone just thought that he had recovered his martial arts talent, was young and frivolous, and acted recklessly.
Even if I kill the fifth prince with one sword on New Year's Eve.
I just think that he is arrogant and has His Majesty's preference.
However, for a wealthy family that has gone through many vicissitudes of life and experienced ups and downs, these are just minor pains and innocuous.
But this time.
Xiao Changfeng beheaded Duanmu Lei in public, proving that he was talented enough to be on the Hidden Dragon List.
Hidden Dragon List!
That represents the top existence among the younger generation.
Any person will be qualified to become a saint in the future.
Such a talent has to be taken seriously.
"I thought it was just a biting puppy, but I didn't expect it to be a tiger cub. I have to admit that we all miscalculated this time."
Duke Wei sighed.
"But it's not too late to make amends now. He is still just a young tiger and cannot withstand the attacks of jackals. As long as he is not given a chance to grow, the young tiger will be nothing more than a dead tiger!"
There was a murderous intent in his words, even colder than this winter.
Wei Yanqing was shocked.
In more than ten years, this was the first time he had seen his grandfather show such murderous intentions.
It was obvious that Xiao Changfeng's talent made Grandpa feel threatened.
"Grandpa, there is no news about Master Demon Spirit. I'm afraid he has died as my aunt said."
"However, it is still uncertain whether this matter was done by Eunuch Hong. If it was done by Eunuch Hong, that would be fine. If not, it proves that the Ninth Prince has a strong man who is at least at the Imperial Martial Realm protecting him."
Wei Yanqing opened his mouth and told about the assassination incident and his speculation.
"Master Demon Spirit is originally a warrior of the Imperial Martial Realm, and he also has strange and invisible means of killing people. Even if the ordinary Imperial Martial Realm can defeat him, he cannot kill him. Only the Imperial Martial Realm can kill him."
Hearing Wei Yanqing's words, Duke Wei's eyes were profound.
"Emperor Martial Realm!"
Wei Yanqing was shocked.
This is no ordinary existence, but a strong man who can dominate a party.
Would such a strong man protect the Ninth Prince?
"However, His Majesty's attitude has been a bit ambiguous recently and seems to be quite partial. This is not a good thing for us. On the night when the Demon Spirit Master disappeared, Eunuch Hong also left the palace to attend the auction, so there is a high possibility that it is
Eunuch Hong took action."
Duke Wei is very scheming and will never take action easily until he has figured out the enemy's trump cards.
"Next we will start from two aspects."
Duke Wei turned around and stared at Wei Yanqing.
"First, send someone to keep an eye on the Ninth Prince to see if he is really protected by someone from the Imperial Martial Realm or the Imperial Martial Realm."
"Second, activate a demon-slaying guard and be on standby at any time. If there is an opportunity, kill the Ninth Prince at all costs."
Kill the Demon Guard!
Wei Yanqing was shocked and her eyes were shocked.
The Demon-Slaying Guard is a trump card.
Every demon-slaying guard is selected from thousands of people, and then supplemented with the best resources and the most rigorous training.
In the entire Duke Wei's palace, at least one-third of the spiritual stones are spent on the demon-slaying guards every year.
Although there are only three thousand people, their combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of a hundred thousand troops.
Among the three thousand demon-slaying guards, the weakest are those at the Earth Martial Realm.
All along, the Demon-Slaying Guard has been used as a trump card, something that has been hidden deep and cannot be used easily.
However, this time, in order to deal with the Ninth Prince, he actually planned to use it?
Wei Yanqing was horrified, and at the same time she understood how strong her grandfather's determination was.
"Yan Qing, you are still a little younger."
As if he could see the shock in Wei Yanqing's heart, Duke Wei sighed.
"Do you know what the Duke of Wei will rely on in the coming hundreds of years?"
rely on?
Not the queen?
Wei Yanqing was puzzled.
"A saint can create a holy place and pass down the inheritance for eternity. But without a saint, no matter how powerful the power is, it will still be vulnerable."
"After all, this is the world of warriors. One person can determine the rise or fall. Among our family, the martial arts talent is average, and only one or two have reached the imperial martial realm so far, so we have to be obsessed with intrigues. However, the eldest prince is different."
"The eldest prince is a genius who has never been seen in thousands of years. Now he is practicing with his ancestors, and he will surely shine on the whole world in the future. And we, as long as we follow his footsteps, we can reach the sky."
Duke Wei Guo spoke in a deep voice, and every word hit Wei Yanqing's heart.
"So our family's foundation for the next hundreds of years is all tied to the eldest prince. We will both prosper and suffer!"
"And we must find a way to remove any stumbling blocks that dare to stand in the way of the eldest prince."
"Although the talent displayed by the Ninth Prince today is not as good as that of the First Prince, it will definitely cause trouble for the First Prince, so we must eliminate this trouble as soon as possible!"
The cold light flashed in Duke Wei's eyes, and his thoughts were extremely clear.
"Even if all the demon slayer guards are lost, we can still continue to train them, but there is only one eldest prince."
Speaking of this, Duke Wei looked deeply at Wei Yanqing and had high hopes.
"Now, do you understand?"
Although the Demon Slayer Guard is precious, it is not the only one. Even if it is lost, it will not hurt the bones.
But the Ninth Prince is a stumbling block that hinders the First Prince and must be removed.
Which one is lighter and which one is more important is clear at a glance.
“My grandson, please keep this in mind!”
Wei Yanqing's eyes were bright, and she bowed in admiration!
