South of Zhongzhou Continent, in the Liantian Mountains.
On Jietian Peak, the human imperial court, looming in the clouds and mist, is as magnificent and sacred as ever.
It is evening now, the setting sun is shining slantingly, and the golden sunshine is shining on the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, making the imperial court full of auspiciousness and the clouds are steaming and glowing.
In a majestic palace deep in the Imperial Court, there are many guards in armor and swords closely guarding it, and the atmosphere is majestic and solemn.
This palace named ‘Tianlong Palace’ is the bedroom of the third prince Long Zaitian.
In a secret room in Tianlong Palace, the light is dim and the aura is abundant. The floor and walls are decorated with countless rare and rare gems.
This secret room was protected by a soul-level formation. The extremely abundant spiritual energy formed clouds and mist, condensed into spiritual liquid, and filled the spiritual liquid pool in the corner of the secret room.
In comparison, this secret room was as luxurious as Duanmu Huang's secret practice room, but it was just a little smaller.
At this time, the third prince, who was shirtless and wearing a golden crown of heavenly dragons, was sitting cross-legged in the pool of spiritual fluid, silently practicing his kung fu.
Since two months ago, he has been staying in this secret room in Tianlong Palace, practicing hard day and night in seclusion, trying hard to reach the soul refining realm.
After all, he has already reached the half-step Soul Refining Realm, and he is extremely eager to reach the Soul Refining Realm.
The ninth level of Tianyuan Realm and the first level of Soul Refining Realm are only one step away, but they are worlds apart.
The ninth level of Tianyuan Realm represents the limit of a warrior's physical body, while a strong soul in the Soul Refining Realm is an extraordinary strongman who transcends ordinary warriors and reaches another level of profound realm!
Only by reaching the soul refining realm can one become famous all over the world and become a powerful person respected by warriors all over the world.
Only those who are strong in soul refining can travel around Tianxuan Continent, step into the forbidden land of Guixu in the East China Sea, explore the forbidden area of Southern Wilderness and Daze, explore the secrets of heaven and earth methods, and pursue the supreme martial arts.
For the third prince, only by reaching the soul refining realm as soon as possible can he widen the gap with other princes and stand out from the crowd.
Once he reaches the Soul Refining Realm, not only will his status reach its peak, but he will also be able to control greater power.
However, how can it be so easy to break through the shackles between Tianyuan Realm and Soul Refining Realm?
Ninety-five percent of Tianyuan experts will never be able to break through to the Soul Refining Realm in their lifetime.
Even if those talented and powerful people can break through the shackles, it will take at least ten years and as many as thirty or fifty years of hard work.
The third prince has only been practicing in seclusion for two months, and he hasn't even figured out the secret to breaking through the shackles.
At this moment, a dull bell rang outside the secret room door, and the stone door also lit up with dazzling colorful spiritual lights.
This is someone knocking on the secret door.
Before the Third Prince went into seclusion, he had given an order that no one was allowed to disturb him unless something extremely important happened.
What is an extremely important thing?
For example, an emperor dies, an empress dies, an emperor dies in infancy, an emperor's master dies... only matters of this level are considered extremely important.
The third prince was immediately awakened, quickly ended his luck training, and opened his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
When he opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in Danfeng's eyes, and he exuded a majestic and domineering aura.
He glanced at the shimmering stone door, frowned immediately, and murmured in a low voice: "You actually forced the door to knock? Is Long Yunxiao dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and shot out a stream of colorful brilliance, which poured into the stone door of the secret room.
Suddenly, the thick stone door opened with a rumble.
A burly young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with red hair, quickly stepped into the secret room.
This young man's eyes were red and he exuded a strange aura. He was Tuoba Rui, the adopted son of the third prince.
Tuoba Rui walked into the secret room with a solemn expression, came to the edge of the spiritual liquid pool, and saluted respectfully: "Father, I have important news to report, so I have no choice but to knock on the door!"
When the third prince saw his serious and anxious expression, he immediately had a premonition that something was not going to happen.
He frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you so alarmed?"
Tuoba Rui quickly replied in a deep voice: "Father, three nights ago, Duanmu Mansion was suddenly attacked by a large number of strong men and was razed to the ground overnight.
Thousands of members of the Duanmu family were killed, leaving only a few dozen fish that slipped through the net and escaped.
Duanmuhuang fought with a mysterious strong man, and in the end he disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead..."
When the third prince heard the news reported by Tuoba Rui, his expression suddenly changed drastically and his pupils tightened.
The muscles all over his body tensed instantly, his fists clenched loudly, and his expression became gloomy and ferocious.
"The Duanmu family was destroyed overnight? Duanmu Huang was also killed?!
Who is it? Who has the guts to cause such a catastrophe?!"
The third prince roared in a cold voice, obviously extremely shocked and extremely angry.
The Duanmu family and the Murong family are controlled by him, which is his most powerful support and trump card. They can be called his right and left arms, and they are also the capital for him to complete his ambition of hegemony!
And now, one of his 'left arms' was suddenly cut off, how could he not be furious?
Seeing that he was furious, Tuoba Rui was silent for a moment, and then he raised his hands and said, "Father, there is news from Qingmu City that someone has seen the mysterious strong man fighting Duanmu Huang.
Countless people say that he is a supreme soul!"
"Fart!" The third prince said an unprecedented curse word.
Tuoba Rui knew very well that his adoptive father had always been in a very deep city, with mountains falling in front of him without changing his expression, and his plans were very far-reaching.
But he didn't expect that his adoptive father would be so angry and say dirty words.
This was the first time he heard it!
This also made him understand how angry his adoptive father was.
The third prince took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and said in a cold and majestic tone: "Today, there are only two or three supreme souls on the Tianxuan Continent.
There is no way the emperor would take action against Duan Muhuang. The person in the emperor's palace has disappeared for two hundred years, so there is no way he would suddenly take action... The murderer is at most a strong soul in the soul refining realm.
Send someone to investigate immediately, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will find the murderer!"
The third prince's tone was cold as ice, resounding, and contained unquestionable majesty.
Tuoba Rui didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he quickly said "I obey" and turned around to leave the secret room.
The third prince pondered for a long time with a gloomy face, his expression changed several times, and finally calmed down.
…
Two days passed quickly.
Ji Tianxing has been staying in Tianxing Palace, silently doing exercises in his room to heal his injuries and consolidate the foundation of martial arts.
Early that morning, Yan'er suddenly came to the door and reported a piece of news.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, the guards of the Imperial Palace have just come to summon you. Master Black Feather has summoned you to discuss matters."
Hearing Yan'er's words, Ji Tianxing suddenly woke up, quickly ended his practice and walked out of the room.
He looked at Yan'er and asked: "Master Black Feather summoned me? Did the guard say what the reason was?"
Yan'er shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment, guessed the answer in his heart, and quickly left Tianxing Palace and flew to Black Feather Palace.
