The simple and elegant study room is filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The face of the head of the family, Duan Muhuang, darkened, and the expressions of the two elders were also very gloomy, with hatred in their eyes.
At this time, the second elder said: "Brother, Yulong is your most beloved son, and he is also the most outstanding heir of the younger generation of our Duanmu family.
Now that Yulong has been killed by that lowly boy, not even the bones are left, when can we avenge this revenge?"
The third elder on the side also nodded in agreement and shouted angrily: "Brother, our Duanmu family has been standing in Zhongzhou for thousands of years, how transcendent is our status?
Even the emperor of the Imperial Court would never dare to kill the legitimate son of our Duanmu family!
Now, everyone in the world is looking at us! If this revenge is not avenged, where will our Duanmu family's face be?"
Both elders were filled with hatred and murderous intent surged in their eyes.
Duanmuhuang said in a deep and expressionless voice: "Yu Long is my son, how can I not feel heartbroken when he was killed?
I want to capture Ji Tianxing more than you do, cut him to pieces with a thousand knives, and extract his soul and torture him for a hundred years!
However, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. I can't let my family suffer suppression and crisis just for the sake of temporary hatred.
That Ji Tianxing became the Lord of Tianchen Territory, and now he is leading the honor guard to take up his post in Tianchen Territory with the imperial edict and the gold seal of the Territory Lord.
He is the Tianchen Territory Lord appointed by the Imperial Court. If we kill him at this time, everyone in the world will know that it must be our Duanmu family who did it!
Assassinating a high-ranking official, a domain lord personally appointed by the emperor, is a capital crime that is close to treason!"
Hearing what Duanmu Huang said, the two elders frowned, showing unwilling expressions.
"Brother, that Ji Tianxing is just an ant-like commoner. Even if he becomes the emperor's son and the lord of Tianchen Territory, he has no power foundation.
Even if we kill him, we are avenging Yulong, which is justifiable.
The Imperial Court shouldn’t make things too difficult for our Duanmu family, right? Over the past thousands of years, we have made countless contributions to the Imperial Court!”
Duanmuhuang grinned and revealed a playful sneer, "Yes, Ji Tianxing is indeed a pariah like an ant, but who says he has no power background and foundation?
Until now, don't you still understand?
His biggest backer and power background is the Imperial Court!"
The two elders were suddenly stunned and asked in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"That kid is just a commoner. Even if he has outstanding martial arts talent, he can't get the protection of the Imperial Court!"
Duanmuhuang shook his head and said solemnly: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the result of my repeated investigations and speculations.
Although I don't know the specific reason, it is indeed true.
Otherwise, if he defeated the emperor in public and turned the emperor into a laughing stock, would he still be safe?
If the Emperor’s Court had not valued him so much, how could it be possible for him, a teenage boy, to be the Lord of the Tianchen Territory?”
The expressions of the two elders suddenly changed, they were both angry and anxious, and they quickly asked: "Brother, what should we do? Could it be that with the Imperial Court protecting him, Yulong's revenge will not be avenged?"
Duanmuhuang frowned, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "How can you not avenge such a bloody feud?
I have long said that no matter what, Ji Tianxing must pay with blood!
I will cut him into pieces and let him suffer all the pain and torture in the world! Only in this way can I eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huang's tone was full of resentment.
After a pause, he continued: "However, now is not the time for revenge.
After Ji Tianxing leaves Tianchen Territory and returns to Zhongzhou, you will find another opportunity to strike.
You must plan this matter carefully, be sure to kill with one strike, and not leak any information!
Although, I can kill him with just one move. But that old fox, the Emperor, will definitely keep an eye on me, so I can only leave this matter to you..."
The two elders nodded quickly and said in a solemn tone: "Brother, don't worry, we will do this matter without leakage!"
"Brother, just leave it to us!"
Duanmuhuang nodded and said nothing more.
…
One month passed quickly.
Early that morning, Ji Tianxing and others returned to Zhongzhou City.
A mighty guard of honor landed outside the city gate, and with a noble and majestic aura, passed through the city gate and entered the city.
Ji Tianxing, Ji Ke and Yan'er have finished practicing their luck skills and are sitting in the king's carriage, looking at the scene in the city.
More than three months have passed since Ji Tianxing left Zhongzhou City and returned today.
The scene in the city has not changed much, it is as bustling and noisy as ever.
When the honor guard passed through the straight and wide street, the common people and warriors along the way stepped out of their way and retreated to the side of the street to watch and discuss.
The news that Ji Tianxing had won the position of Lord of Tianchen Territory had already spread throughout the land of Zhongzhou.
The people in Zhongzhou City also discussed it heatedly for more than a month.
When countless people saw the guard of honor, they quickly recognized that it was his guard of honor.
Suddenly, the common people and warriors on both sides of the street all started talking among themselves.
"Look! Another emperor has returned from a tour. What a huge battle!"
"I understand, this is the honor guard of the Emperor's son Ji Tianxing!"
"He just took office as the Lord of Tianchen Territory, and he returned to Zhongzhou City so soon?"
"Haha, I finally saw the legendary Ji Tianxing with my own eyes! He is the number one genius in our human race and the most evil son of the emperor!"
"Since he defeated the Emperor four months ago, news about him has been coming continuously in the past few months. He has created several miracles in a row!"
"It is said that Emperor Tianxing's son has already become the overlord at the age of eighteen. This is simply unprecedented!"
The people on both sides of the street include humans, demons, and water tribes.
The people from the Monster Tribe and Shui Tribe were more amazed and talking.
The people of the human race all looked very proud and excited with honor.
There were even many young warriors who admired Ji Tianxing, cheering and shouting, bowing and paying homage to the king's chariot.
In Zhongzhou, the people of the human race have long recognized him as the first genius of the human race, and regard him as the most evil and unparalleled genius, and they are proud of him.
Many people are still looking forward to when Ji Tianxing will grow up and become the unparalleled genius who can crush the Shui Tribe and the Monster Tribe?
At that time, it will be his most glorious and prosperous moment. He will definitely bring glory to the human race and look down upon the Tianxuan Continent!
Among the crowded people on the street, there was a human man wearing a black robe and a face-covering cloak.
This man was not as excited as others, but he stared at the honor guard with cold eyes, filled with hatred and murderous intent.
Upon closer inspection, you will find that this person appears to be an ordinary human warrior, but his pupils are faintly blood-red, and he is obviously disguised as a foreigner.
