"Have you heard? The Sect Master of Hengjian Sect was assassinated to death last night, and now the entire Hengjian Sect's disciples are searching for the killer, but so far there is no news of any assassin!"
"Sect Master Hengjian was stabbed to death? No, Sect Master Wan is a master who has been famous for many years, and his strength has reached the high level of the innate realm. Just like this, such a first-class master has fallen?"
"This news is absolutely true. My cousin worked at the inn where Hengjianzong lived, and he heard Hengjianzong's disciples talking about it!"
"My God! This is absolutely explosive news. The masters of the three sects were assassinated. It is estimated that there will be another bloody storm on the rivers and lakes!"
Wan Yanzong, the master of Hengjian Sect, was assassinated in the middle of the night. Hengjianzong is one of the three sects of the Kuangwu Empire. It has a rich background and great strength. Now Wan Yanzong suddenly died, how can this not shock the world.
Wan Yanzong was a high-level cultivation base of the Innate Realm. He was not a top expert in the entire Kuangwu Empire, and he was considered a first-rate expert. However, such a first-rate expert was assassinated and died without leaving any evidence of the assassin. This is simply incredible.
Unfortunately, Hengjianzong investigated the assassin all night and found nothing. The only clue was that the assassin was wearing a black robe with scarlet skulls printed on the black robe.
It stands to reason that the ability to kill high-level masters of the Innate Realm is definitely not to be underestimated, and it is considered a famous existence in the assassin world. It is a pity that the entire Hengjianzong has never heard of any killer or organization wearing a black robe with scarlet skeletons, which makes it difficult for Hengjianzong to investigate the killer.
When the entire Kuangwu Empire was shaking, the General Mansion was very quiet, and Liu Qi and Liu Qitian were discussing matters in the same room.
"I heard that Wan Yanzong, the lord of the Hengjian Sect, was stabbed to death last night. Do you know the news?" Liu Qitian sat facing Liu Qi with a strange look in his eyes. He knew very well that his grandson was investigating the poisoning. When Wan Yanzong was killed, he immediately thought of his grandson.
"What do you think of the old man?" Liu Qi asked rhetorically without answering.
"You said yesterday that you were investigating the poisoner, but Wan Yanzong died at night. Although the old man didn't believe it, the first reaction was that you killed him."
"I don't lie to the old man, I did kill Wan Yanzong." Liu Qi shrugged and said lightly.
Liu Qitian's eyes widened sharply. Although he was prepared, he received an acknowledgment from his grandson. Obviously, this news was too surprising for Liu Qitian.
"Wan Yanzong is also a high-level master in the Innate Realm anyway, not to mention the best in the world, but it is all the masters or top figures of all factions. Is it true that you can kill him?" Liu Qitian took a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he asked inconceivably.
"If I only fight for the cultivation base, I am indeed inferior to Wan Yanzong, but killing a person does not necessarily have to fight for the cultivation base with him, as long as it can kill the other person." Liu Qi said with a slight smile.
Looking at the casual smile on Liu Qi's face, Liu Qitian suddenly smiled bitterly: "You can now kill even high-ranking masters of the Innate Realm. If you let others know, you will probably not be considered a genius, but a monster."
"Ordinary people, I won't let him know." Liu Qi spread his hand and said.
Liu Qitian shook his head helplessly. He was becoming more and more opaque to his grandson. Before, even he himself thought that Liu Qi was just a idle dude. But now his grandson can kill even a high-level master of the Innate Realm, which can no longer be described as shock.
"Well, let's not talk about your strength. Since you have already started, I must have found a clue."
"Father, as expected, the poisoner was the work of Wan Yanzong, and the chief envoy behind the scenes was the prince!"
Liu Qitian nodded slightly, and said: "The old man also asked some people yesterday and learned that this colorless, odorless, and fearless poison originated from the Celestial Kingdom near the northern frontiers of the Kuangwu Empire. This poison comes from a variety of poisonous weeds. Extracting toxins, because only this kind of poison grows in Heaven, it is extremely rare, and few people know about this kind of poison.
This kind of poison appeared in the imperial city. It was obviously a poison provided by the Celestial Kingdom. Just a few days ago, during the empire auction, several envoys from the Celestial Kingdom came to the Kuangwu Empire. A few people from the Kingdom will meet, and if they don’t guess wrong, then a few people from the Celestial Kingdom will provide the poison to the prince! "
"The prince really took great pains to deal with us, and even united with other countries." A cold light flashed in Liu Qi's eyes and said slowly.
Peng! Liu Qitian punched the table hard and looked very angry.
"In the past, the old man still thought that His Royal Highness was knowledgeable, but now he only thinks that the prince is an unscrupulous villain who has united with other countries in order to deal with the old man! If the Kuangwu Empire falls into the hands of such a guy, it will definitely be the people's doom!" Liu Qitian bites Tooth is indignant.
"Now that the person who poisoned the poison is the prince, what will the old man do?"
Liu Qitian was stunned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "Actually, the old man doesn't know what to do. Even though he knows that the prince is going to harm the old man, this matter will not help even if he is stabbed in front of the king. The king will not execute the future Kuangwu Empire. Crown Prince!"
Liu Qi smiled. Although the old man is a martial artist, the key issue is still very clear. Even if the king knew about this matter, there would be no action. The old man had been in control of a large number of soldiers. The king had long been jealous of the general. How could it be possible to deal with the prince for the old man.
"Old man, the prince wants to deal with our general mansion and weaken his military power. Even if he misses once, there will be another time. Once the prince becomes the king, we will become even more vigorous! If we keep on guard, sooner or later we will suffer."
"The old man also knows, but the old man can't just do the opposite! If it really fights, it must be ordinary people who are injured. This is not what the old man wants to see." Liu Qitian shook his head with a wry smile.
"There is no need for rebellion, but we can support a superior prince who is beneficial to us. As long as the prince hasn't ascended the throne, other princes have the possibility of a superior position. Even if he has ascended the throne, it is not without a chance!" Liu Qi said with interest.
Liu Qitian raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said, "You mean to support a puppet to sit on the throne?"
"Yes, the royal family is not kind to our general mansion, then we don't need to be righteous to the royal family!"
Liu Qitian rubbed his temples and sighed, and said: "The old man has always been loyal to the Kuangwu Empire and has almost dedicated his life to the Kuangwu Empire, but in the end he was even persecuted by the royal family. The old man had no intention of fighting for fame and fortune, but For the offspring of the old man, I can only do this unrighteous thing!"
"Old man don't have to feel guilty, we just do this to survive."
Liu Qitian nodded reluctantly, and suddenly thought that Liu Qi had assassinated Wan Yanzong last night, so he asked: "Smelly boy, it wasn't so easy for you to assassinate Wan Yanzong last night. Did you get hurt?"
"A little injury, it's almost the same after one night."
"That's good, but don't do this dangerous thing in the future. Assassinating the high-ranking masters of the Innate Realm is simply too courageous!"
"Hehe, old man, if there is nothing wrong, I will go down first!"
With that said, Liu Qi left, leaving Liu Qitian thinking alone. What Liu Qi said really made Liu Qitian think. In this situation, he must think about the future.
"Master, the materials you need are ready, and they are all with Zhang Huwei."
After Liu Qi left the room, Wei Xiangxiang came to Liu Qi's side and said with his head slightly lowered. She has now accepted the status of a slave. There is no way she can do it. She has already branded a slave and has a connection with the law of space. If she does something that violates her status, Wei Xiangxiang doesn’t care if Liu Qi speaks. You will die wherever you go.
"Well, I'll go over and take a look."
Liu Qi asked Zhang Dazhuang to prepare materials for refining weapons. When he assassinated Wan Yanzong last night, Liu Qi suddenly had an idea. He has the weapon Black Dragon Sword, but no defensive equipment, so Liu Qi prepares to build a defensive equipment himself.
It just happened that the Tianyu stainless steel obtained from the Prince's Mansion last time was useless, so I used him to build a defensive equipment for emergency. Although Tianyu stainless steel is extremely hard, it is extremely light in texture and does not have the heavy feeling of metal at all.
"By the way, Wei Xiangxiang, have you mastered the body refining method that I gave you last time?" Liu Qi asked Wei Xiangxiang next to Zhang Dazhuang as he went to find Zhang Dazhuang.
"I have mastered 90%, but I feel quite fruitful. Now I feel that my body is much better than before, and I have a lot more food every day. I really appreciate my master." Although Wei Xiangxiang was unwilling to be a slave, he was very concerned about Liu Qi. I am really grateful.
"Don't thank me, you should be aware of my deal with you. My purpose of doing this is to let you practice as soon as possible, and then to help my master cultivate!" Liu Qi smiled slightly and didn't care.
Wei Xiangxiang didn't speak, but just glanced at Liu Qi secretly. During the past few days, Wei Xiangxiang felt that Liu Qi’s image was completely different from what she had originally thought. At first, Wei Xiangxiang thought it would be extremely miserable to be Liu Qi’s slave, but the result was completely different, except for being a slave. Except for the same thing, Liu Qi didn't ask for more at all.
Of course, Liu Qi didn't care what Wei Xiangxiang thought, he hurried to the place where Zhang Dazhuang was.
At this time, Zhang Dazhuang and several of his servants were counting the list listed by Liu Qi. Seeing that Liu Qi was coming, Zhang Dazhuang hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, you bought all the things you asked us to buy in the morning. They are all the best, the mysterious-level sky silk, the mysterious-level steel, the bones of the mysterious-level fierce beast... Master, please see if you missed anything!"
Liu Qi glanced at the pile of things in front of Zhang Dazhuang, nodded and said, "No problem, I believe you can't go wrong."
