After the man in blue robe reported the news, the secret room fell into silence.
The black-robed figure was silent for a long time before uttering a few cold words.
"He is crazy! There is something wrong with this!"
The man in blue robe stood respectfully with his hands lowered, and reported in a low tone: "Your Majesty is right, judging from the boy's behavior, he has a mysterious origin and a very arrogant attitude.
With the Holy Emperor's character and magnanimity, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate his arrogant behavior.
But for some reason, the Holy Emperor tolerated him and had no intention of pursuing him.
His subordinates sent people to investigate in many ways, but could not find out what exactly the Holy Emperor had talked about with him.
My subordinates only speculated that that boy did have amazing talents, which is why he was so valued by the Holy Emperor and received such honorable treatment."
The black-robed figure was silent for a while, then asked: "Have you investigated the origin of that boy clearly?"
The man in blue robe quickly replied: "My subordinates have investigated more than a dozen of the country's top forces and hundreds of wealthy families, but no news about him has been found.
It is now certain that this child is 80% not a citizen of this country.
Even if he comes from his own country, he must be a son of a poor family, with no foundation or background at all."
When he said these words, the man in blue robe's tone was firm and full of icy chill.
The black-robed figure was silent for a while and asked again: "How is Qing'er's condition?"
The man in blue robe showed a worried look and said in a low tone: "Since the young lady was defeated by Ji Tianxing in public, she returned to the villa outside the imperial city and has been staying locked up.
The young lady became really angry and hated her so much. Several maids who went to serve her were injured or killed directly by her.
Even when my cousin went to comfort her, she was injured and thrown out. Now no one dares to approach her."
The black-robed figure did not speak, nor was he surprised by the result.
The man in blue robe frowned and said in an angry tone: "Miss, I have been practicing diligently for decades and endured so much pain and suffering just to make a name for myself in this year's selection of divine disciples.
That damn pariah actually appeared out of thin air in the ranking battle and stole the title of the number one genius from the young lady, humiliating the young lady in public and turning the young lady's decades of hard work into nothing...
More importantly, it also caused our Lan family to suffer humiliation, and made those other forces secretly laugh at and gloat at our misfortune!
Your Majesty, this revenge must be avenged, not only to vent your anger on the young lady, but also to show the majesty of our Lan family!"
After a pause, the man in blue robe continued: "Moreover, the Holy Emperor's attitude towards that boy was very conniving. He seemed to have high hopes for the young lady and completely gave up on the young lady.
In the future, when that kid enters Haotian Tower, he will definitely cover up the young lady's shine and take away the treatment and honor that originally belonged to the young lady.
After discussion among the elders of the clan, they all suggested that the boy should be assassinated quietly in front of Haotian Tower!
Anyway, he has no background in his country and is a rootless duckweed. Killing him will be in vain!"
The figure in black robe remained motionless, his tone was cold and emotionless as he said: "Kill, of course you have to kill! If you stand in the way of my Lan family, you will definitely die!
However, the Lan family’s children cannot take action in this matter.”
The man in blue robe nodded quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. The skills of our Lan family disciples are special and can easily leave traces and clues.
The Holy Emperor attaches great importance to that kid. If we leave any clues, it will inevitably cause trouble.
My subordinates have thought it over carefully and will contact the people from the Hidden Killing Pavilion later and ask the Hidden Killing Pavilion to send assassins to assassinate him to ensure that he can be eliminated smoothly.
Even if this matter is exposed, the Holy Emperor will at most find out that it was the Hidden Killing Pavilion that did it, and will definitely not implicate our Lan family."
"Very good." The black-robed figure responded in agreement, "Go and get it done quickly."
"As you command!"
The man in blue robe bowed, quickly turned around and left the secret room.
…
In Tianyun City, in an old mansion.
Ji Tianxing still stayed in the bedroom, sitting on the bed with his eyes closed to relax.
On the surface, it seemed that he was just resting and recuperating.
But in fact, his soul is slowly moving, accumulating huge mana, and is repeatedly sorting out the foundation of martial arts to prepare for the fifth level of the soul realm.
Before the decisive battle with the demons, he reached the fourth level of the Soul Realm.
In order to deal with the ancestral demon god, he also used the Ancient God Sword Formation to gather the power of countless strong men, and briefly reached the peak of the Yuanshen Realm.
At this point, he has reached the limit of the fourth level of the Yuanshen Realm, and is only one step away from breaking through to the fifth level of the Yuanshen Realm.
He is not in a hurry for success, he improves his strength in an orderly manner, and wants to reach a breakthrough level naturally.
In the process of practicing, he also used his spiritual consciousness to secretly explore the situation around the house.
Within a radius of ten miles, there are dozens of streets and alleys, tens of thousands of houses and homes, and more than 300,000 people living there.
But he could still clearly detect that there were at least dozens of spies lurking in this area, who had been secretly monitoring him.
Most of those spies are from the royal family, and only a few are from other forces.
A few days ago, there were thousands of people spying on him, making it very chaotic.
Since the Holy Emperor came to him personally and the news spread in the city, 90% of the informants and spies of the major forces withdrew overnight.
After all, the Holy Emperor's coming to see him in person showed a certain attitude.
The vast majority of forces did not dare to offend the Holy Emperor. Of course, they wanted to avoid suspicion and did not dare to get involved in this matter again.
The spies and informants who dare to continue to monitor him must be from the top powerful forces.
These principles can be clearly understood by Ji Tianxing after a little analysis.
"Although my current situation seems dangerous, it is actually the safest.
All the powerful men and women from all walks of life are staring at me, and the people of the Holy Emperor are also watching me, but no one dares to act rashly.
There are only three days left, and the envoy from Haotian Tower is coming.
By then, when I follow the divine envoy and leave Tianyun City, everything will be solved, and I will no longer have anything to do with the Izumo Empire in the future..."
When these thoughts flashed through his mind, he sighed silently in his heart.
"Yao Yao, where are you? When I enter Haotian Tower, can I get news about you and see your traces?"
Before I knew it, it was midnight.
Under the dark night, the old house was silent.
The gate of the house and each house were unlit, and they were sleeping in total darkness.
The informants and spies who secretly monitored Ji Tianxing relaxed their vigilance when they saw that he had not left his room for several days and no one had entered the house.
But at this moment, three seemingly invisible shadows appeared in the night thousands of feet away.
Three phantoms got into the ground one after another, sneaked deep underground, and quietly moved towards the house without causing any sound or breath fluctuation.
Just a moment later, the three phantoms sneaked into the old house from the ground.
They spied on the situation in the courtyard and saw Ji Tianxing meditating in the room. They simultaneously took out a dark compass and performed some secret technique.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The three compasses released pitch-black light, spreading upward from the ground and instantly forming a black light cage that enveloped the entire house.
