The two guards in Gang Spirit Realm suddenly reined in their horses, and the people in the three sedan chairs behind them jumped out and looked up at the sky.
In the night, they saw a blood-red meteor shooting towards them at an amazing speed!
At first, it was just an inconspicuous red dot, but in the blink of an eye, the blood-red meteor had approached. The horrible Evil Qi contained in it was frightening even from a distance!
"Who is it?"
"Assassin! Protect the Emperor!"
Lei Haoqing's two guards in Gang Spirit Realm shouted at the same time. The old man in fine clothes slapped out, and a stream of evil Qi burst out. In it, one could vaguely hear the wailing of evil ghosts, which was extremely gloomy.
The one-armed man next to him lit up a single saber in his left hand, and a powerful pure Yang saber Gang rose to the sky, as if to tear the world apart!
The other three experts in Gang Spirit Realm of the Thousand Illusion Sword Sect reacted a little slower. They also drew out their swords, and the violent Sword Gang swept in all directions!
The five experts in Gang Spirit Realm joined forces to attack the blood-red meteor. They thought it would be easy to destroy it, but the blood-red meteor suddenly changed its direction in midair and circled around, dodging all the attacks!
The five of them turned pale with fright. Seeing the bloody meteor shooting straight at Lei Haoqing's palanquin, the five of them immediately surrounded the palanquin tacitly. Immediately, five dazzling spiritual gang appeared and protected the palanquin.
With a loud "clang", the five Spiritual Highlands were slightly distorted. Fortunately, they managed to block this strange attack!
What happened just now happened in a few blinks of an eye. It was not until then that the other dozens of guards realized what had happened. All of them protected Lei Haoqing as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
What a joke! If Lei Haoqing really died here, all of them would be buried with him!
Maybe their families would be implicated because of this!
"Who on earth dares to plot against the Ninth Prince? Do you know that this is a serious crime that can lead to the execution of all nine generations of your family?"
The old man in luxurious clothes shouted. His eyes were also looking around, but he did not find any clues.
Lei Haoqing, who was sitting in the palanquin, was already pale from fright. His body was drenched in sweat. His cultivation talent was average, and he was already 30 years old, but he was still in the early stage of the Spirit Pulse Realm.
Therefore, the movement of several Gang Spirit Realm practitioners outside just now was no different from the collapse of heaven and earth for him. Of course, this was nothing.
What truly terrified him was that someone had actually come to kill him!
Who in this world would dare to kill him?
Who wanted to kill him?
Who had the ability to kill him?
There was no need to think about the answer. It must be the other princes!
Especially the First Prince, Prince Ying, the Fourth Prince, Prince Qi, and the Thirteenth Prince, who was favored by the Emperor, were the most suspicious!
Lei Haoqing trembled as he said fiercely, "They must have been afraid that I had the support of the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect and surpassed them, so they tried to kill me!
Good, my good brothers! "
Outside, the guards were nervous for a long time, but there was no movement in the surroundings. After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the old man in luxurious clothes withdrew his spiritual gang and turned to walk into the imperial palanquin.
"Your Highness, are you all right?"
After such a long time, Lei Haoqing also calmed down a little. He said, "Mr. Mo, I'm fine. What's going on outside? Why is there no movement for a long time?"
Mr. Mo said, "Just now, there was indeed a sneak attack by a master, and his means were strange and unpredictable. The five of us joined hands to block him.
The man failed to kill him, so he probably knew that he had no chance and fled. "
Hearing this, Lei Haoge felt a little relieved. Whether the assassin could be caught or not was a matter for later. At least he was safe now. He asked again, "Mr. Mo, can you infer from the assassin's spiritual skill which master he is?"
"The blood-red flowing light just now was a very strong Gang Qi, called Blood Evil Gang!
Therefore, the assassin must be a golden-striped blood-robed assassin from the Blood-robed Pavilion! "Mr. Mo said in a low voice.
"Blood-robed Pavilion?!" Lei Haoqing was also shocked when he heard these three words.
Blood-robed Pavilion was a world-famous assassin force, and it was even more notorious in the Thunder Flame Dynasty. It was also known as one of the Seven Unique Sects in the World. In terms of strength, it was definitely far superior to the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect, which was also a top sect!
But even if he knew that the assassin was from the Blood-robed Pavilion, what could he do?
Was he going to attack the Blood-robed Pavilion?
That was obviously impossible, so what Lei Haoqing wanted to know most now was who hired the Blood-robed Pavilion assassin!
"Mr. Mo, can you find out who the employer is from the Blood-robed Pavilion?"
Mr. Mo suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that the Blood-robed Pavilion never divulges any information about the employer.
Even if we get the employer's information by various means, maybe that person is just a puppet.
As far as I know, the real murderer will not show any flaws, but I think the murderer must be among those people. "
He said it very obscurely, but it was also very clear.
Lei Haoqing's face turned blue and white, and his eyes were constantly changing. He asked again, "Mr. Mo, do you think the Blood-robed Pavilion assassin has a chance of succeeding in the assassination with you five masters in the Gang Spirit Realm?"
Mr. Mo shook his head and said, "It's almost impossible, so I think this may just be a warning to Your Highness."
"Warning?" Lei Haoqing showed an unhappy look, "What a good warning! Let's wait and see!"
Then, Lei Haoqing and others continued to move forward cautiously.
Leng Shiqi, who saw all this, smiled slightly. He had fulfilled Lian Ye's request and didn't show up from the beginning to the end. If he could be found out by others in this way, he would admit defeat.
Then he turned and left directly, leaving only the frightened Lei Haoqing and the panic-stricken guards.
The next day, Leng Shiqi returned to the state of closed-door training. Now he didn't have the system, so he could only rely on himself to practice and comprehend the spiritual skills. He couldn't delay it at all.
The news that Lei Haoqing was assassinated on his way back spread like wildfire, and the whole imperial capital was shocked!
The first thought in many people's minds was not to guess who the murderer was, but to realize that the fight for the throne had become so fierce.
It was common for those princes to form cliques and fight for power and profit. There were also many people who secretly set up obstacles, but there had never been such a thing as assassination!
Lei Haoqing's assassination was like a signal, a fuse, which instantly raised the conflict between the princes to the most tense point!
In Prince Ying's Mansion.
Prince Ying was Lei Haoyan, the First Prince. As the First Prince, he was not favored at first, because his birth mother's identity was very ordinary.
But Lei Haoyan was very capable. When he came of age, he took the initiative to join the army. He had been on the battlefield for a long time and made countless military exploits!
When he was in his thirties, he was conferred the title of Prince Ying and was not driven away to his fief, which showed that he was valued very much!
Now Lei Haoyan was in his forties. After receiving the news that Lei Haoqing was assassinated, he only said one sentence, "Petty tricks."
