Chapter 331 Five steps of blood flow in the Hall of Mental Cultivation
Walking on the gravel path in the palace that was slightly hot under the warm midday sun, Qin Feng thought for a long time and said: "Killing the King of Chu will inevitably lead to chaos in Motie, and the Battle of Yumenguan can naturally be won without a fight. Even in the future we can Daqian was able to take advantage of Motie's chaos to counterattack Motie, and the cavalry easily broke through their country. And if I assassinate the King of Chu alone, I may become a hero of Daqian, and I will be remembered by the people of Daqian for my indispensable contribution."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng shook his head and said: "But I don't want to do this. In the final analysis, maybe I am a very useless person."
"Very worthless?" Xia Qianjie shook her head and smiled bitterly. If someone like Qin Feng, who is less than seventeen years old, can easily defeat a Zhenwu realm warrior, and even someone who is regarded as the King of Qin is very worthless, then what does it mean to be promising?
"Yeah, I don't want to be a hero, nor do I want to make any great achievements and be admired by Da Gan people. I just want to be with the people I miss, be with all my relatives and friends, and live a small life that is stable and peaceful enough. Qin Feng nodded and said: "So, if possible, I also hope that the people in Daqian, and even the people in Motie, can live a calmer and more stable life. There will be no family ruins, no displacement, and the young boy and the Little girls have their parents taking care of them, so they don’t have to work so hard to find their relatives like me.”
After hearing these words, Xia Qianjie's expression was slightly moved, as if she thought of the blood-stained plantain in front of Tingyu Tower thirteen years ago, so she said in a deep voice that could only be heard by herself: "Sometimes Being able to search for it is a blessing."
"What?" Qin Feng didn't seem to hear what Xia Qianjie said clearly.
Xia Qianjie said: "It's nothing. I mean, this idea is great, but have you ever thought about how many people will be displaced if Yumen Pass is breached?"
Qin Feng said: "That's why I came to stop the war! Maybe I will continue to kill before I see the King of Chu, but after I see the King of Chu, I will tell him that such a thing as a big war is something he can't do How wrong it is."
"What if he doesn't listen?" Xia Qianjie asked.
"Then hit him with your fists until he hears it, and use your sword to force him to order the withdrawal!" Qin Feng said without thinking.
While they were talking, the two of them had walked out of the quiet alley in the west area of the palace, and were getting closer and closer to the center of the palace where the Yangxin Hall was located. So Qin Feng and Xia Qianjie stopped talking, and their expressions gradually became wary.
The grass gradually became sparse, and you walked across the verandah from the path, then passed through a clear small lake with golden koi carp, and slowly came to the wide road. The unique fragrance of flowers on the quiet path gradually dissipated, and the autumn lake water was full of flowers. The pleasant cool air gradually dissipated, and the straight and wide road without a single tree, as well as the tall buildings, gave people a majestic and formidable atmosphere.
Suddenly, in the chilling atmosphere, Qin Feng smelled a faint smell of blood, so he frowned quietly and began to move forward more solemnly.
Finally, when they reached the end of the road and reached the area where several palaces were located in the center of the palace, they saw the walls dyed red with splattered blood, and countless corpses of the Guards scattered on the ground. !Continuously extending forward, all the way to the gate of Yangxin Hall where King Motie Chu lives...
The blood, which has not dried up or even solidified, flows slowly along the hard bluestone slab, along the cracks in the slab, and flows all the way to Qin Feng's feet.
A bone-chilling chill rose up in Qin Feng's heart for no reason. He screamed inwardly and crossed hundreds of meters in one stride, stepped through the muddy blood, and rushed into the door of the Yangxin Hall.
The door of Yangxin Hall was open. Before Qin Feng entered the door, he saw a face-down corpse lying in front of the door of the hall, and behind the corpse, there was a sword.
It was a very ordinary, yet extremely extraordinary sword. The sword was said to be ordinary because, although it was sharp, it was by no means a divine weapon. It had not even reached the level of heaven. And the reason why it was said to be extremely extraordinary was that it was a very ordinary sword. Ordinary because the sword is embroidered with patterns like mountains, rivers and lakes. The patterns represent the great rivers and mountains of the Daqian Kingdom!
Obviously, this is a sword that although it cannot be called a magic weapon, it represents some kind of authority in the Daqian Kingdom.
Qin Feng stepped forward, pulled out the sword, then turned the body over, and saw a very young face, but full of fear.
Obviously, this was not the body of the King of Chu, because the King of Chu of the Motie Kingdom could not be so young. Qin Feng recognized who this corpse was because he had seen this young man before.
A few months ago, during the Fourth Academy Examination of the Daqian Kingdom, Qin Feng, who was only in the ninth level of body tempering, had encountered a strong enemy. That person was the prince of the Motie Kingdom, Chu Feiyun. And now this man The dead young man was the prince of Motie Kingdom.
Qin Feng didn't like Chu Feiyun for many reasons, because Chu Feiyun was not only arrogant and domineering, but also repeatedly made trouble for him, and even wanted to steal his woman. So in that arena match, Qin Feng was very rude. The Motie Prince was beaten and beaten everywhere.
However, when he saw the guy who was so alive and kicking in front of him a few months ago die like this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Silently stepping over the body of Prince Chu, Qin Feng slowly stepped into the Yangxin Hall. In the center of the hall lay another body wearing a purple python royal robe. It was a middle-aged man, just like Chu Feiyun. The difference is that there is no fearful and ferocious expression on the middle-aged man's face. Instead, his expression is calm, but within that calm expression, there is an endless sadness and desolation.
There was an extremely smooth sword mark on the neck of the corpse. The blood slowly flowed outwards along his neck, dyeing the royal robe on his body red, and then flowed to the ground that had already been dyed red.
The blood flow in the palace only lasted for five steps. It was not that tragic, and it was far from comparable to the tragic death of thousands of imperial guards outside the palace. But Qin Feng's heart felt cold.
Because the death of an emperor means chaos in a kingdom! And these five steps of blood are the prelude to the blood shed by millions of innocent people in the future.
"He is the King of Chu of Motie, but I didn't expect that there would be someone..." Xia Qianjie said in a trembling voice, her heart filled with confusion and shock.
Qin Feng didn't speak, and he also had a lot of confusion and doubts in his heart. A moment ago, he was still talking to Xia Qianjie about whether to kill the King of Chu if he succeeded in making it all the way into the Yangxin Palace. But he didn't expect that someone had already started. He entered the Yangxin Palace in one step and directly killed King Chu and Prince Chu.
Who was the person who killed King Chu?
After confirming that all the people who could die in the vicinity were dead and there could no longer be any danger, Xia Qianjie naturally no longer needed Qin Feng to carry her or protect her, so she went straight to the body of King Chu. , after a little investigation, he said: "The blood is still warm, which means that the King of Chu must have died not long ago, and it is possible that he died during the period when we were dealing with the city guards. In addition, there are almost no people in the Yangxin Hall." There are no signs of struggle, and the King of Chu has a cultivation level around the fifth level of Zhenwu, so who is it that can kill the King of Chu so easily? And why did he kill the King of Chu?"
"According to common sense, the death of King Chu at this time is naturally the most beneficial to Daqian. After all, after the death of King Chu, if there is chaos within the Motie Kingdom, General Yelu may give up the attack on Yumen Pass. Could it be that a certain A strong man from Daqian killed the King of Chu, and within Daqian, the only one who has the ability to easily kill a strong man in the True Martial Realm is..." Xia Qianjie thought for a long time, and finally thought of a possibility.
In the Daqian Kingdom, the only person who can easily kill the fifth level Zhenwu warrior is the legendary strong man who always sees the dragon but never sees the end, Yi Tianxing!
In Xia Qianjie's opinion, this is the only explanation that is more reasonable. After all, King Chu is at the fifth level of Zhenwu Realm, and his cultivation is extremely strong! However, King Chu could not make any reaction or struggle before he died. Only those who are strong in Nirvana can achieve this.
And the only person who has reached the Nirvana realm and has reason to do this seems to be Yi Tianxing!
"It can't be him." Qin Feng shook his head and said.
Others may not know Yi Tianxing, but they only know that Yi Tianxing is very powerful, serves Daqian wholeheartedly, and is loyal and loyal.
But Qin Feng knows that in addition to these, Yi Tianxing is still a very aloof person. Qin Feng believes that if it is Yi Tianxing who really wants to kill someone, then Yi Tianxing will definitely come alone and kill him calmly. The King of Chu, then left quietly. In the process, he would never kill anyone other than the King of Chu, let alone the low-cultivation imperial guards outside the Yangxin Palace.
Because with Yi Tianxing's aloof character, he didn't even bother to take action against the Imperial Guards! And the strength of those Imperial Guards may not even be possible for Yi Tianxing, nor is it enough to force Yi Tianxing to take action.
"The King of Chu was killed by a sword that sealed his throat, and the Prince of Chu was killed by a sword that penetrated his heart. However, Yi Tianxing didn't like using swords." Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "In addition, the guards outside Corpses were lying scattered everywhere, and most of them had their throats sealed with a sword, but there were also some corpses with broken sternums and even heads smashed to pieces, obviously injured by weapons such as heavy hammers."
"This means that there should be more than one murderer!" Xia Qianjie instantly understood that if there was more than one murderer, then it was indeed impossible for Yi Tianxing to do it. Because if Yi Tianxing wanted to assassinate King Chu, there would be no way to kill him. No need to bring helpers.
"Then who killed the King of Chu? Could it be that several True Martial Realm warriors acted together? But even if several True Martial Realm warriors joined forces, they would not be able to kill the King of Chu so easily, or even leave no trace at the scene. Xia Qianjie frowned, and after carefully walking around the Yangxin Hall, she still found no trace of a fight.
The floor in the palace was almost spotless. Except for a few drops of blood spattered on the doors and windows, there were almost no broken parts. Even the long golden table not far from the body of King Chu was intact, and even the table on it was intact.
Not a single cup of tea was spilled.
Suddenly, Xia Qianjie saw that there seemed to be a piece of paper pressed under the half-cup of tea that was still radiating heat, so she walked over in confusion.
