As the night grew darker, he turned into a shadow and slowly drifted out of the courtyard, making no sound and not alerting the guards outside.
With this secret technique, he can come and go at will, and the heavily guarded palace is like his back garden. As if he were walking on the ground, he can go outside anyone's house, listen in the corner, and find out secret information.
Therefore, he learned the general outline of the matter overnight and found what he wanted to know.
Tianshu Courtyard was completely quiet. A bright moon hung in the sky, emitting a hazy brilliance. Everything around it seemed to be enveloped in a layer of light sand.
Meng Jian turned into a shadow and slowly moved from under the wall into the courtyard. He could see a total of three guards around him, and four more not far away. They were seven masters from the outer world. The guards were really tight, and he only had one strike.
Opportunity.
If the attack was unsuccessful, the guards would rush over to protect Xiao Shi. Even if he could beat them, he would still miss the chance to kill Xiao Shi.
Entering Tianshu Courtyard, his aura became darker and darker, and his murderous intention was hidden deep in his heart, not showing it to the outside.
The masters of Tianwaitian have keen spiritual senses. Once there is a murderous intention, even if they cannot see themselves, they can sense it and take precautions.
Fortunately, Ziyunshan's martial arts are superb, and the secret skills he practices are exquisite, so he came to the small courtyard without any hindrance. The next step was to rush into the house, kill with one blow, and then kill Chu Li as well.
With complete merit and deeds, my brother’s spirit in heaven can rest in peace!
He slowly emptied these thoughts, calmed down, focused on the bedroom of the main house, and slowly approached along the shadow in the corner.
"Who!" Suddenly a clear and crisp shout sounded.
A graceful snow-white figure suddenly appeared outside the main house, blocking the door.
Xueling was wearing a moon-white coat, her bright eyes were shining brightly, and her sweet shouts instantly broke the tranquility of Tianshu Courtyard.
Meng Jian was about to rush into the bedroom when he heard her yell. Without hesitation, he turned into a shadow and rushed towards the bedroom window.
Xueling has been deliberately trained by Chu Li, and her mental strength is far better than that of ordinary people, and her acuity is even better than that of ordinary heavenly masters.
Although she couldn't see the figure clearly, she vaguely sensed something was wrong. She took a step sideways to block the window, and Bai Shengsheng's right hand shot out.
"Bang!" Meng Jian's figure swayed like water in a lake.
Xueling flew out and saw the shadow clearly. Regardless of the turbulence in his internal organs, he shouted: "There is an assassin!"
Meng Jian turned into a shadow again and became furious. This little girl ruined his good deeds!
He swayed, silently approached Xueling, silently slapped her with a palm, and decided to kill this talkative little girl first to relieve the hatred in his heart.
If Xiao Shi can't be killed tonight, she won't be able to escape tomorrow night. It's impossible for her to hide out of the palace!
Xueling's delicate body moved sideways violently, barely able to avoid this palm.
"Hmph!" As Meng Jian frowned, his murderous intention surged even more.
This little girl can actually sense herself, so she has to get rid of her!
He was surprised that a little innate master could see through the phantom technique. His anger surged and his murderous intention became stronger, and he had to kill her.
Xueling moved sideways again and barely managed to avoid another palm.
Meng Jian's attack seemed to outsiders like a palm force coming out of thin air around him, which was sudden and strange, like a ghost, making people's hair stand on end.
Liu Xing's three body movements were the fastest and they had already drifted to the small courtyard.
They saw Xueling dodging the force of the palm and knew that the other party had special powers. Liu Xing hurriedly said: "You two go guard the princess's door, and I will help Miss Xueling!"
After saying that, he squatted down, picked up a few petals from the ground, and threw them in Xueling's direction.
The petals are like sharp arrows shooting at Xueling.
One meter away from Xueling, the petals suddenly encountered an obstacle. Liu Xing's body flashed in front of Xueling like a stream of light, and his fist struck Meng Jian like a meteor.
"Bang!" Liu Xing took a step back.
Meng Jian also paused and frowned. This guy has such cultivation at such a young age. Could it be that he is also from the four major sects? But it doesn't look like it!
Liu Xing secretly thought that this assassin was difficult to deal with, so he had no choice but to fight tooth and nail.
Xueling is not only the maid of the princess, but also the maid of the chief steward. She is deeply loved by him. If something unexpected happens, I am afraid that she will be in trouble!
He looked around, but found nothing. He could see nothing.
He is an extraterrestrial master with keen inspiration, but he can only sense his own danger and provide warnings in advance, but not others' dangers.
Xueling spat out a blood arrow with a "wow", and her face became paler.
"Miss Xueling, is it okay?" Liu Xing said hurriedly.
Xueling shook her head: "Be careful, Miss!"
Liu Xing said: "With the two of them, he can't get in!"
Xueling suddenly turned sideways, and his face was brushed by a palm. A long gash appeared on his fair and tender face, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
She pressed it out with her palm, and with a "bang", she flew out again.
While in mid-air, she waved her palm again.
"Bang!" She accelerated and flew out, spraying a blood arrow in the air, hitting the wall hard, almost embedded in the wall, unable to move.
Liu Xing was furious and shouted: "Rat, hide your head and show your tail. Come out if you dare. Don't make a sneak attack!"
"Bang!" Xiang Feixue, who was guarding outside the bedroom window, was knocked away.
Liu Xing shouted hurriedly: "Princess, be careful!"
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, a white shadow flashed past, and there seemed to be a shadow shaking twice outside the window, like ripples in the water.
Lu Yurong appeared outside the bedroom window wearing a moon-white robe, her face covered with white gauze, both the robe and the white robe were fluttering, her bright eyes as clear as autumn water.
"Is this the phantom technique of Ziyun Mountain?" Lu Yurong took back her jade palm and stood with her hands behind her back, her white clothes fluttering like a fairy under the moon.
"Why is it you!" Meng Jian appeared out of thin air and frowned, "Isn't Miss Lu their enemy?"
Lu Yurong said calmly: "Mr. Meng, if you want to assassinate Xiao Shi, have you thought through the consequences?"
"Kill her to avenge my brother." Meng Jian snorted coldly: "Even if she is a princess, she will die!"
"Sure enough, you are worthy of being a disciple of Ziyun Mountain, and your tone is not small!" Lu Yurong shook his head and said: "You can't kill Xiao Shi, let alone if you really want to kill her, can Chu Li spare you?"
"So what!" Meng Jian snorted disdainfully: "I am not my brother. If he dares to kill me, he will face endless pursuit from Ziyun Mountain. Forgive him for not having the courage!"
"...As long as I'm here, you'd better retreat!" Lu Yurong sighed inwardly, another fool, thinking that relying on Ziyun Mountain's signboard would make everything smooth and everything would be fine.
This Meng Jian has good martial arts, good demeanor, and some scheming. Unfortunately, he has a paranoid and impulsive personality, and his actions are easily affected by emotions. How could a rational person have entangled with Xueling? He wanted to kill Xiao Shi first, but he was angered.
controlled by him, to deal with Xueling.
What's more important is that he can't get rid of his anger. If he encounters someone like Chu Li, he will definitely be doomed!
"Miss Lu," Meng Jian said coldly, "You want to help Chu Li?"
"Yes." Lu Yurong nodded.
Meng Jianjun's face showed an angry look.
The reason why he lifted the phantom spell and revealed his physical form was because he admired Lu Yurong.
He fell in love with her as soon as he saw her. What he liked was not her appearance, but her unique temperament, which attracted him like a magnet. He wanted to embrace her and make her his own.
Hearing that Lu Yurong wanted to help Chu Li, Meng Jian was jealous and resentful, and his anger was raging: "Why help him?"
"It's nothing." Lu Yurong said calmly.
I can't say that I want Chu Li to owe me a favor in exchange for it.
Meng Jian sneered: "Okay, you choose the path yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
His love and possession suddenly turned into hatred and destruction. Since he couldn't get it, Chu Li couldn't get it.
"Boom..." There seemed to be a faint thunder in the night sky. The sound was so weak that it was almost ignored. If Lu Yurong's five senses were not sharper, she would not have been able to hear the subtle thunder.
Meng Jian turned into a stream of light, which instantly shot in front of Lu Yurong, and pressed down with his palm.
