Ji Tianxing and Yunyao were hiding in a dark corner outside the manor.
The three of them observed secretly for a while, but the manor was still silent, without any light or human figure.
Ji Tianxing was worried about Yan'er's safety and decided to take action.
He told the young spy: "You stay here and look out outside the manor to meet us at any time."
The young spy bowed his hands and said he obeyed the order through his spiritual consciousness.
Afterwards, Ji Tianxing and Yunyao restrained their auras, quietly sneaked into the dilapidated manor, and went deeper into the manor.
The two of them moved slightly and very cautiously, without making any sound.
A quarter of an hour later, the two walked through the ruins and reached the depths of the manor, arriving outside a huge black palace.
This palace is the main palace of the manor. Although the walls are full of cracks, the entire palace is slightly tilted and looks shaky.
But Ji Tianxing discovered that the palace was protected by the Tianyuan Formation, and there was also the aura of a warrior in the palace.
Not only that, but in several old houses behind the palace, there are still three gloomy and dark fluctuations of true energy hidden.
Ji Tianxing turned to look at Yun Yao and said via voice: "Yao Yao, there are four secret sentries behind the palace, but they are only at the eighth level of Yuan Dan Realm, so there is nothing to worry about.
You wait for me here for a moment, I will go and deal with them first before I can break through the palace's defense formation."
Yun Yao nodded and warned via voice transmission: "Tian Xing, be careful."
Ji Tianxing nodded silently and flew out in a flash.
After two breaths, he touched the back of the palace and near several houses among the ruins.
As he got closer, he used his spiritual sense to scan and saw clearly that out of a total of five relatively well-preserved houses, four of them were occupied by people.
The four warriors were all wearing black robes, with soft armor and breast shields under the robes. They also carried swords and hidden weapons, crossbows, and were fully equipped.
Moreover, the robes of these four people are all embroidered with the same patterns and patterns.
Their auras were equally gloomy, containing the smell of blood.
Although the four of them were meditating and adjusting their breath in the room, they were always on guard and looked very vigilant.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing frowned slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and thought to himself: "It seems that these four guys are the assassins of Muhuntang, the ones who captured Yan'er."
With his strength, it was easy to kill four masters who were at the eighth level of Yuan Dan Realm.
However, it is very difficult to do it silently and not alert the masters and strong men in the palace.
Ji Tianxing thought for a while and immediately had an idea.
"Earth Emperor Shield!"
He muttered silently in his heart, quietly used the earth element's true energy, and immediately burrowed into the ground.
He controlled the true power of the earth element and sneaked quietly underground without any hindrance, just like a fish swimming smoothly in the water.
After just ten breaths, he swam a hundred meters underground and came to the ground of a house.
The Muhuntang assassin in the house was still sitting on the bed meditating, unaware of the approaching danger.
The next moment, Ji Tianxing emerged from the wall behind the assassin and appeared silently, like a ghost.
At this moment, he was only one step away from the Muhuntang assassin. He stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed the assassin's neck.
"Crack!"
With a soft sound of bones breaking, the assassin's neck was instantly broken by Ji Tianxing and he was killed on the spot.
Until the moment he died, he didn't understand what was going on.
The assassin's body slowly fell down, silently falling on the bed, with blood still flowing out of his mouth and nose.
At this time, Ji Tianxing had quietly left, sneaked another twenty steps underground, and got into the next room.
The black-robed assassin in this room vaguely heard a soft sound, looked suspicious, and just opened his eyes.
However, he didn't realize at all that a person appeared out of thin air in the dark brown wall behind him.
"Crack!"
There was another soft sound of bones breaking, and the assassin's neck was broken by Ji Tianxing. He didn't even let out a scream and died on the spot.
Next, Ji Tianxing sneaked into the third and fourth rooms and assassinated the remaining two assassins.
Although the two assassins were alert, they had no idea what was happening.
Before they could react, Ji Tianxing appeared like a ghost and took their lives silently.
Ji Tianxing easily eliminated the four Muhuntang assassins without making too much noise or movement.
He quietly left the house and returned to Yunyao.
Yunyao quickly sent a message and asked: "Tianxing, has it been solved?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said through a message: "Well, all four assassins from Muhun Hall have been killed."
Next, he took Yunyao and sneaked into the ruins on the side of the palace, silently observing the defensive formation and thinking about ways to break it.
After observing for a moment, he frowned in confusion and thought to himself: "The defensive formation of this palace is not a remnant of the ancient times, but was installed in recent years.
It’s strange, this is just an ordinary low-grade Tianyuan Formation, could it be that the powerful men in the palace have very ordinary formation attainments?”
Ji Tianxing was secretly confused and became more vigilant.
He explained the situation to Yunyao, then used the secret formation technique and began to break the formation.
The low-grade Tianyuan Formation was very simple and not worth mentioning to him, a formation master.
In just half a quarter of an hour, he cracked a gap in the defensive formation.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao passed through the gap in the formation and got into the defensive formation.
Although the palace had a dark iron door, they did not go through the door, but passed through the window of a room on the first floor and entered the palace directly.
The interior of the palace is dilapidated and very old, with cracks everywhere and piles of rubble and debris.
The air was filled with a damp, rotten smell that was nauseating.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao both had Tianyuan strength, so they held their breath and quickly shuttled through the palace, searching for traces of Yan'er.
Both of them released their spiritual senses to explore the surroundings, not missing any room or secret room, even the underground.
It didn't take long for the two of them to search the first floor of the palace, but found nothing.
The two of them had just climbed to the second floor of the palace and entered a spacious hall, and were about to use their spiritual senses to search.
At this time, Ji Tianxing suddenly saw four statues standing in the four dark corners of the hall.
Each statue is more than three meters high, is dark brown in color, and the carvings are lifelike, unlike remnants of ancient times.
Judging from the appearance, the four statues are all carved with monsters, half like humans and half like eagles.
Ji Tianxing stepped towards one of the statues, preparing to take a closer look.
However, the statue suddenly moved and opened its eyes, revealing a pair of dark golden eyes.
Not only that, the statue slowly twisted its neck, spread its wings, and actually came to life!
