Chapter 2260 Entering the Northern Underworld Chapter 20
Ji Ke once mentioned something to Ji Tianxing.
After the new construction of Beiming Palace was completed, there were still many things missing.
There are cultivation resources and various miscellaneous items.
In the following months, those missing things will be gradually made up.
Therefore, every two or three days, Beiming Palace will send a team of guards to the Holy City.
The City Lord's Mansion will prepare the things that Bei Ming Palace lacks in advance, and the team of guards will take them back.
As a housekeeper, Ji Ke is very aware of this matter.
In the past, Ji Tianxing did not take this matter to heart.
It wasn't until after Ji Ke's accident that he thought about his plan of action that he remembered this incident.
The team of demon guards are all from Beiming Palace. They have identity tokens and can enter and exit Beiming Palace at will.
Therefore, they became Ji Tianxing's targets.
There are eighteen people in this team of guards, all wearing cold black iron armor and heavy helmets, with only purple or dark red eyes exposed.
After they left the City Lord's Mansion, they flew into the night sky without saying a word and hurried back to Beiming Palace.
Ji Tianxing followed them quietly, always maintaining a distance of a hundred meters, without being noticed by the other party.
A hundred breaths later, the demon guards were flying over a mountain range.
The night was dark, and the strong demonic aura and black clouds loomed over them.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing finally took action.
He used the secret technique of Huntian to control the power of heaven and earth, turning it into an invisible big hand and instantly captured a guard.
This guard walked at the end of the team, looking careless.
Obviously, he has performed this task many times and has always been safe, so he has no need to be vigilant.
But he didn't expect that death would come without any warning.
The invisible giant hand tightly imprisoned him, making it impossible for him to move or even make a sound.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible spike formed by the power of the soul severely pierced his soul.
He was killed instantly on the spot without making any sound.
Until the moment of death, he didn't know what happened, let alone who the murderer was.
After Ji Tianxing instantly killed the black-armored guard, his soul escaped from his shell and entered the man's body.
And his body was put into the world of the sword by him, safe and sound.
Next, the body of this demon guard will be controlled by Ji Tianxing.
On the surface, there seems to be no change in this person.
But in fact, his soul has been replaced by Ji Tianxing.
From the time Ji Tianxing took action until he completed the possession, it only happened in the blink of an eye.
The dozen or so guards at the front of the team noticed nothing unusual and continued to fly towards Beiming Palace at a steady speed.
Ji Tianxing took a moment to adapt to his new body and then sped up to catch up.
The whole journey was silent.
Two quarters of an hour later, eighteen guards returned to Beiming Palace.
Everyone first went to the House of Internal Affairs, took out various resources and sundries from the space ring, and handed them over to the housekeeper.
After completing their tasks, everyone left the House of Internal Affairs one after another and returned to their respective residences.
Ji Tianxing was thinking about where to find Ji Ke's whereabouts.
At this time, a black-armored guard followed up, patted his shoulder familiarly, chuckled and said: "Aman, go to my place for a drink.
Tonight when I was at the city lord's mansion, Captain Yue gave me a jug of good wine. Drinking it can strengthen my qi and blood and increase my skill for several years!"
Only then did Ji Tianxing know that this body was named Aman.
"Well, okay." He nodded without hesitation and responded.
He spoke the language of the demons and kept his words very brief in order not to reveal his identity.
The black-armored guard did not raise any suspicion and led him into Beiming Palace and to a wing in the backyard.
This wing has only two rooms, a bedroom inside and a living room outside. The area is not large.
There is also a secret room underground for meditation.
The black-armored guard took Ji Tianxing and sat down in the living room. He took out a bottle of wine and a few dishes from the space ring, and started eating and drinking with Ji Tianxing.
The wine was a strong blood wine common among demons, and the food was made from monster meat. It was rough and fishy, making it difficult to swallow.
But Ji Tianxing didn't want to show any flaws, so he could only drink and eat food as if nothing had happened, and rarely spoke actively.
Seeing that he was silent, the black-armored guard comforted him generously: "Aman, why don't you speak? Are you still angry about that matter?
Be open-minded! Although we are the guards of Bei Ming Palace, we are still lowly slaves. The stewards can beat or scold us if they want.
As long as you listen to my brother’s words, you will definitely share in the benefits of Park Cheng from me in the future.”
Only then did Ji Tianxing find out that this person's name was Pu Cheng, and he had been working as a sergeant in Beiming Palace for several years.
As for what happened between Aman and Pu Cheng, he was not interested in knowing.
He was taciturn but kept urging Park Cheng to drink.
In the space of half a stick of incense, Pu Cheng drank half a pot of strong blood wine and was so drunk that he lost his mind.
But he was like many people. The more drunk he got, the more he talked, but it was all just out of his head.
Taking this opportunity, Ji Tianxing continued to test Park Cheng and inquired about the news.
"I heard that our internal affairs steward is a fake female from the tribe?"
"Isn't that right!" Pu Cheng hugged the wine bottle and sighed with drunken eyes: "It's so well hidden! It's a pity that it still can't escape the fiery eyes of the Great Demon Saint!"
Ji Tianxing continued to ask: "She will be executed in a few days. Who will be responsible for guarding her these days?"
Pu Cheng held the wine bottle, raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls of dark red blood wine, and said vaguely: "Anyway, those bastards from the Torture Department are none of our business.
Let me tell you, Ah Man, this kind of thing is like a fight between gods, we little guys, please don’t interfere..."
"Department of Torture?" Ji Tianxing frowned secretly, having some concerns in his mind.
Pu Cheng drunkenly lay on the table, closed his eyes and smiled: "What's wrong? Remember again the incident of being whipped by the executioner last month? Please be more careful in the future.
The Torture Department is the Asura Hell. If you don't die in it, you will lose half your life..."
Ji Tianxing ignored him and stretched out his hand to shoot out an invisible soul force, hitting his soul.
Suddenly, Pu Cheng fell into a drowsy state and immediately became quiet.
Ji Tianxing left quietly, flew out of Beiming Palace invisibly, and looked around for the location of the Torture Department.
The Department of Torture is located on the cliff behind Beiming Palace. The overall shape is like a skull, which is very eerie and eye-catching.
After Ji Tianxing found the Torture Department, he hid in the dark and observed for a long time.
However, there are a large number of guards inside and outside the Torture Department, and many holy-level formations have been deployed, making the defense extremely tight.
What's more, he vaguely felt that there were some seemingly invisible and powerful spiritual consciousness that had been shrouding the Torture Department.
He immediately guessed that Ji Ke was being held in the Torture Department.
Several powerful warrior saints from the demon clan have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Torture Department to prevent him from coming to rob the prison.
Once he shows up rashly or takes action, he will definitely be besieged.
Today's Torture Department may seem calm on the surface, but in fact a dragnet has been set up.
He had no choice but to retreat to Beiming Palace temporarily and think of countermeasures.
