But after waiting for a whole half day, only eight words came from the two Wanxiang Orders, and they were all the same.
—Keep your mouth shut and wait and see!
Wutan and the others smiled bitterly at each other. It was no problem to keep the secret, but to wait and see what would happen was a problem.
Di Tian thought for a while and said, "The Great Venerable and the Valley Master may want us to observe the situation of the Crown Prince and others. After all, they will enter the Jueyin ruins first."
The three of them nodded slightly, and Wu Tian stood up and said, "Since the higher-ups have spoken, we can only follow their orders and take it one step at a time. Let's go!"
As he spoke, Wutan had already collected the forbidden talisman, then opened the door, nodded to Shi Jiaoyun who had been guarding here, and quickly walked out of Wanbao Pavilion.
But he didn't notice that a man in red was always following him not far behind.
Wutan naturally had to find a deserted place, enter the starry world, and continue to comprehend the Nine Palaces Killing Skill.
But it was noon at this moment, and the streets were full of people. He also went to the alley before and saw several old people playing chess.
Gradually, he unknowingly arrived at the gate of the imperial city. He glanced at the guards on the city wall and walked straight in.
After walking for a while in the direction of the camp, he came to a green lawn. He looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, he prepared to enter the star world.
However, at this moment, a cold breath suddenly came from behind.
"Someone's attacking!"
Wutan didn't think about it, he took a quick step to the side and leaned to the side, but it was too late. With a "puff", a three-inch long silver needle pierced through his shoulder, and blood spurted out like an arrow!
"who?!"
The little guy looked back with bright eyes, and found a red figure disappearing from his sight at a rapid speed. Without saying a word, he turned into a golden light and chased after it.
Covering his shoulder, Wutan did not chase him. His face was as gloomy as water. If he did not dodge in time, the silver needle would have hit his heart. Even if he did not die, he would have been seriously injured.
The Jueyin ruins are about to open. If you get injured at this moment, it will be dangerous later.
"Hmm? Poisonous?"
Suddenly, Wutan frowned and found a strange airflow flowing rapidly from the injured area to the heart, and the wound quickly turned black.
His body trembled, and his essence surged, instantly dispersing the airflow, and then it was all discharged from his pores.
“Shhh!”
This venom was extremely terrifying, more ferocious than any poison Wutan had ever encountered. His clothes were instantly torn into pieces and riddled with holes.
The iron rock ground beneath my feet suddenly gave way to deep pits with a hissing sound, emitting black smoke and a foul odor.
He quickly entered the starry world, changed into clean clothes, and walked out again. He glanced around and finally found the silver needle on a rotten bluestone.
Walking over, Wutan stretched out his arm, his essence surged, he picked up the silver needle and placed it in the palm of his hand, his eyes flashing.
His palm was wrapped in essence, and Wutan felt a strong poison slowly seeping into his pores. It is conceivable how terrible the venom on the silver needle is!
If he had not swallowed the innate spirit embryo of the ancient scorpion before and had a certain immunity to the poison, he would probably have died of the poison at this moment!
At this time, the little guy returned empty-handed, looking angry: "I didn't catch him, this guy is very fast, even Frog is a little behind him, but if you use the Wind God Boots, maybe you can still catch him in time."
"No need to chase him, I know who sent this person!"
The little guy said angrily: "Who is it? Tell Grandpa Frog, Grandpa Frog will kill him."
"It's not the time yet," Wutan shook his head and carefully put away the silver needle. The poison on it would not dissipate in a short time, so he prepared to use his own method to retaliate.
As for the person behind the scenes, he had already guessed that the only people who hated him so much and wanted to kill him were the emperor and Wu Hou. But now he was in the imperial city, and the emperor would definitely not be so stupid as to cause trouble for him, so the only one left was Wu Hou.
Frowning, Wutan took out the Wanxiang Order and sent a message to Han Tian and others, asking them to pay attention.
Since Wu Hou has taken action against him, it is expected that he will not let Han Tian and others go.
Afterwards, he entered the starry world and began to comprehend the Nine Palaces Killing Technique.
…
Time just passes by little by little.
In the evening, Han Tian sent a message. Just as Wu Tian had expected, they were all attacked.
However, they were well prepared and the assassination failed. Han Tian even followed the killer and finally confirmed that this person was really from Wuhou Mansion.
Upon learning this, Ye Tian and other Shura disciples were furious and threatened to destroy Wu Hou Mansion. However, they were stopped by Di Tian because Wu Tian had instructed them not to start a war for the time being and to settle accounts with everyone once the Jueyin ruins were opened.
The Yunu Sect has already left its original position, completely drawing a clear line between itself and the Tianyang Sect, and is now on the same side as the Shura Palace and the Ice Valley.
This situation made Wang Chu and the other man feel unhappy. They were secretly cursing in their hearts, "What a bunch of sluts and bitches!"
Therefore, everyone understood that the reason why the Jade Maiden Sect bid for the Black Prison Mad Blade was to show its sincerity and seek an alliance.
Only Feng Shuang sighed in his heart. The alliance between Shura Palace and Ice Valley was already very strong, and now with the addition of the Jade Maiden Sect, the situation of the Tianyang Sect was worrying.
He had advised his two senior brothers more than once, but in the end he was always condemned, which made him very helpless. At the same time, he envied the Jade Maiden Sect, which had two shrewd leaders who made wise choices.
Wuhou Mansion.
In Wu Hou's study, he sat in front of the desk, staring at the man in red below with his eyes fixed.
After a long while, Wu Hou angrily said, "Not only did you fail to kill anyone, but you almost exposed your identity. Zhang Shi, is this all you are capable of? I have spent a lot of time and money to train you, but you can't even deal with a few young boys. Tell me, what use are you?"
Upon hearing this, the man in red was not angry, but his tone was very calm: "Don't forget, how many people I have killed for you over the years, you should have repaid me long ago. Besides, I don't know Wutan, how do I know that Qianjue Poison has no effect on him."
"Humph!" Wu Hou snorted coldly: "With your strength, if you had killed Wu Tian by force while he was poisoned, would Wu Tian still have a chance to survive?"
"It's easy to say, why don't you give it a try? I'll tell you the truth! The little beasts around Wu Tian are very powerful, and they can probably compete with you. If I hadn't retreated in advance, I'm afraid I would have fallen into their hands. Also, don't forget that this is the imperial city. How dare I kill people openly under the emperor's nose?"
When mentioning the little guy, the red-clothed man Zhang Shi's pupils contracted, and he was obviously quite afraid.
"So strong?" Wu Hou was surprised.
"Nonsense, would I make up something?" Zhang Shi said mercilessly.
"Forget it, let's temporarily stop the assassination attempt on Wutan and the others." After pondering for a moment, Wu Hou sighed, and then looked at the man in red in front of him, and a hint of kindness appeared in his eyes.
"Your two brothers are dead, and you are the only biological child left to me. If you are willing to recognize your ancestors, I will hold a grand banquet and announce it to the world, so that you can truly become the young marquis of Wuhou Mansion."
It turns out that Zhang Shi is actually Wu Hou's son, but there seems to be some conflict between the two.
Zhang Shi sneered, "You are so ridiculous. When they were alive, you didn't even want to look at me. Now, you take the initiative to come up to me and recognize me. Are you afraid that after you die, no one will see you off to the grave?"
Wu Hou was furious: "You rebellious son..."
"I am a rebellious son? Haha..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shi could not help but burst into laughter and said sarcastically: "Your two precious sons are not good guys either. If it were not for the blood relationship, there would be no need for Wutan and others to take action. I would have killed them long ago."
"They are your brothers after all, how can you say such outrageous words?" Wu Hou was extremely angry, but helpless, because he owed too much to the child in front of him.
"Brother? Haha, when did they ever treat me as their brother?"
Zhang Shi's face was full of disdain, and then he said: "You can ask me to return to my ancestral home, but the premise is that you kill that bitch, welcome my mother into the Marquis' Mansion openly, and announce to the world that she is your original wife and the mistress of the Wuhou Mansion. Can you do it? Do you dare to do this? Haha..."
Without waiting for Wu Hou to answer, Zhang Shi walked away with a mocking laugh.
…
"-boom!"
Before daybreak, a loud noise exploded in the imperial city, like thunder descending. The whole Fengyang city was shaken, waking up all the dreamers.
Boom!
Not long after, Fengyang City began to shake, and the sound became louder and louder, as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. Even some buildings began to collapse.
"There's an earthquake! Everyone, hurry to the square!"
Ordinary people didn't know what was happening and thought it was an earthquake, so they hurried out of the rooms and ran to the spacious squares.
Only a few restorers know that the Jueyin ruins are about to be opened!
"Send out all the guards to protect the residents in the city!" The emperor, wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, shining with golden light and looking majestic, stood above the Jinhua Palace and issued orders to a group of guard commanders below.
After saying this, he turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the camp.
The garrison was already noisy, with all kinds of sounds everywhere.
People from the four continents have all withdrawn from their garrisons. Some are riding birds and floating in the sky, some are flying swords and standing in the air, and some are retreating thousands of feet away. But their eyes are all looking in the same direction, at the same place.
I saw that the place where I had rested was shaking violently, as if a volcano had erupted. The sound was deafening. In the center, a huge crack was spreading at a rapid speed. There was a constant rumbling sound, and dust covered the sky!
"Look, there's a door coming out!" someone exclaimed.
In the dust and within the cracks, a huge stone door slowly rose up. It was like a door leading to hell, ancient and majestic, with a gloomy and cold aura, rolling in all directions like a tide!
Some people who were close to it couldn't stand the impact of this breath. They immediately spat out blood and were blown away, like meteorites, smashing hundreds of feet away!
"How terrifying! Just the aura it emits makes a practitioner who is at the minor stage of expanding meridians completely powerless to resist!"
Everyone was horrified and quickly retreated to avoid being implicated.
