Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 30: Going Alone to Prince Qi's Mansion
Night fell and everything was pitch black.
Xu Jingming quietly appeared in a remote corner of Prince Qi's Mansion. At this moment, he was wearing a bronze mask on his face and was silently observing all around. Only the area with lights could be seen clearly.
"We have to find out first where Miss Fei is being held now." Xu Jingming immediately used his mental power to explore in all directions.
The power of the mind is gentle and invisible, spreading silently to a distance of a hundred meters.
The use of mental power also requires skills. It can be used violently to impact the enemy's mental consciousness. It can also be used gently to make it difficult for the enemy to detect. It can even influence people's hearts and even control their hearts.
The many mental power techniques recorded in "The Yuanchu Star Conjecture Light Chapter" are even more brilliant, and can be regarded as the top-level skills of the universe's human beings in the starry sky life stage. Unless the other party's mental power is strong enough, it is difficult to perceive.
"Is it snowing?"
Xu Jingming also noticed snowflakes falling sporadically in the dark night.
Sensing the surrounding area within a hundred meters, Xu Jingming walked silently in Prince Qi's Mansion.
Xu Jingming had learned about the layout of Prince Qi's mansion when he checked the files when he entered the "Criminal Division" of Xueyu Weinan Mansion. At that time, he had seen the layouts of several palaces, including Prince Yan's mansion, Prince Qi's mansion, and Prince Liang's mansion.
"It's snowing." A guard looked up at the sky. "I still have to stay on duty for three hours! If the snow gets heavier, I'll suffer tonight."
There are patrolling guards, fixed guards, and even some secret sentries in Prince Qi’s mansion.
Fixed guards must stand there, even if it rains or snows!
"If my strength could reach the second-rate level, I could just lie in the house and enjoy the good life. Why would I have to endure this hardship?" The guard was thinking. Suddenly, a shadow flashed from behind. The guard felt a force invading the back of his head. His eyes suddenly turned black and he fell to the ground.
Xu Jingming carried the guard into a nearby room and closed the door.
"Huh?" The guard woke up in a daze and found himself lying on the ground, with a masked man in green staring at him.
"What's wrong with me?" The guard was horrified to find that he couldn't move anything except his head.
"You just can't move temporarily." Xu Jingming said, "Whatever I ask you, just answer it obediently. Otherwise... you will be unable to move for the rest of your life."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," the guard said immediately. "I'll tell you everything. Please don't kill me."
As for shouting for help?
I guess he would be killed just as he was about to shout !
"Where is Miss Fei, who was arrested by Prince Qi's Mansion today, being held now?" Xu Jingming asked.
"In the main hall." The guard said quickly, "The prince is hosting a banquet in the main hall tonight to entertain Miss Fei."
"Invite Miss Fei to a banquet?" Xu Jingming was surprised.
"Many people in the palace know about the banquet for Miss Fei." The guard said immediately.
"Yeah, very good." Xu Jingming nodded slightly, pressed the back of his head, and the power penetrated, and the guard immediately fell unconscious again!
Masters who have achieved cellular-level control know very well how to temporarily paralyze a person or how to make him or her unconscious.
"Sleep for a few hours." Xu Jingming glanced at the guard, walked out immediately, and closed the door.
After that, he found a guard who was stationed in a remote place and interrogated him again, and got the same answer. Many people in Prince Qi's mansion knew that... The prince held a banquet to entertain Miss Fei.
"He is really hosting a banquet for Miss Fei. What is Prince Qi thinking about?" Xu Jingming was a little confused and quietly rushed towards the main hall. Relying on the power of his mind to sense the area within a hundred meters, he was able to quietly avoid the light and dark guards everywhere.
This was also because he came alone. Under the vigilance of the palace, the more people there were, the easier it would be to be exposed.
"Main hall." Xu Jingming quickly saw the main hall with bright lights.
…
Inside the main hall.
Thick candles were lit lavishly, and the candlelight completely illuminated the entire main hall, just like daylight.
"Miss Fei, how is the food in my Prince Qi's Mansion? Does it suit your taste?" Prince Qi sat in the main seat and smiled at Fei Xinlan who was sitting below.
The more polite Prince Qi was, the more nervous Fei Xinlan became.
Recently, she has been through a lot. Her brother Fei Qing died, her father disappeared, and some enemy forces are ready to make a move. Fortunately, with the deterrence of Dean Ming, she can live cautiously in the martial arts academy, but she can also feel that many of her fellow students in the martial arts academy are keeping their distance from her.
In the past, she always had someone to rely on.
Even when traveling from Lanyue City to the imperial capital, my father and many guards were with me along the way.
But now, she has no one to rely on!
"Your Highness forced me to come here just to entertain me?" Fei Xinlan asked.
"Hahaha……"
Prince Qi smiled and said, "Miss Fei, I have carefully prepared many gifts for you. Starting tonight, I will let you taste them one by one."
"What are you going to do?" Fei Xinlan was a little uneasy. "If you want to kill me, just kill me."
"Kill? If I really want to kill you, I can just send a few people and kill you quietly today at the Imperial Capital Martial Academy." Prince Qi looked at Fei Xinlan with an intoxicated look in his eyes. "You are Fei Qing's sister. How can I bear to kill you so easily?"
"Killing you like this is too easy for you, isn't it?" King Qi smiled, his smile was cold, "Fei Qing died, and died quickly, it was too easy for him. If I want revenge, I can only take it from you."
"Revenge?" Fei Xinlan was stunned.
"Fei Qing is the most important contributor to our Majesty's seizure of the throne." Prince Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Fei Qing destroyed everything I had, my children, my generals, everything I had! Now I have become an idle prince, under house arrest in the imperial capital, unable to go out, all thanks to your brother!"
"You are still the prince! You still have so many people serving you!" Fei Xinlan said.
"That's His Majesty showing his generosity." Prince Qi sneered, "Does he have the guts to let me out of the capital? He won't. He will only keep me under house arrest and monitor my every move."
"I hate it, I hate it! If it wasn't for Fei Qing's plan for Your Majesty, how could we have failed? When I knew that you and your father were coming to the imperial capital from your hometown, I revealed the news to the Black Lotus Sect. Unfortunately, the Black Lotus Sect was useless! They failed to intercept and kill us."
"The ambush in the imperial capital the day before was because of you?" Fei Xinlan was shocked.
That time was really thrilling. Fortunately, Wang Jiuyan and his men arrived at the critical moment! If they were a little slower, the whole team would be finished.
"But you still survived."
King Qi nodded, "It's better to survive. I can feel relieved. Mr. Yu, please use your knife skills to carve a 'nightmare picture' on Miss Fei tonight. This is also my first gift to her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In addition to Prince Qi and Fei Xinlan, there were two other people sitting on the left and right sides of Prince Qi who had seats in the hall.
One of the two men is a white-haired old man, who is the famous master 'Liu Yunchen' in the imperial capital and the master of Prince Qi.
The other person was a man in black, but he was blind! He had a sword on his waist, and his aura was evil and terrifying. He was the mysterious master "Yu Tianxing" that King Qi had just recruited.
"Don't worry, Miss Fei." The blind man in black said, "Although I am blind, my eyes are open! I will not harm Miss Fei's body."
Fei Xinlan's face turned pale.
Carve a nightmare picture on your body with a knife?
"The white flesh is like a nightmare picture. It's beautiful just thinking about it." Prince Qi looked at Fei Xinlan, "Miss Fei must be looking forward to it. Don't worry, there will be a second, third, and many more gifts waiting for you. In the days to come, you will be a rare pleasure for me."
Fei Xinlan couldn't help but shiver, with despair in her eyes.
Prince Qi is a lunatic!
"Um?"
The gray-haired old man and the blind man in black, who had been eating and drinking peacefully, both looked solemnly towards the outside of the hall at the same time.
These two great masters looked outside the hall at the same time, which also startled Prince Qi.
"I've been discovered! My mental power is indeed average." A voice sounded, and at the same time a blurry figure rushed into the main hall. The guards on duty at the door of the hall shouted angrily to stop it.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! ! ! ! ! ! !
All six guards fell down, and each of them had a bloody hole between their eyebrows.
"There's an assassin!" other guards exclaimed in the hall.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect the prince!"
These guards were all top-notch experts, and their voices were so loud that they spread throughout the palace in an instant, making the palace seem to wake up all of a sudden in the darkness. Some guards who were already lying in bed to rest were startled awake and all of them jumped up.
There were only a few guards on duty and patrol, and most of them were eating dinner or resting. However, the appearance of the assassin made everyone in Prince Qi's mansion dare not be negligent.
"Protect the prince." Guards everywhere rushed madly towards the source of the sound, the 'main hall'.
…
The maids in the main hall hid at the edge in fear. Prince Qi calmly looked at the masked man in green in the hall, and remained calm. He was surrounded by many personal guards, and there were also two top-notch masters, Master Liu and Mr. Yu.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave this man to me." The blind man in black moved instantly. His telepathy could completely lock onto Xu Jingming. In an instant, he turned into a blurry black shadow and pounced on Xu Jingming. A terrifying knife light flashed!
The knife light had a sense of evil and affected people's hearts, enveloping Xu Jingming like a nightmare.
"Good swordsmanship!" King Qi praised.
"puff."
The blind man in black stopped and stood there blankly. There was a bloody hole between his eyebrows. With a bang, he fell down and was no longer able to make any sound. The ground was stained red with blood.
This scene brought silence to the entire main hall.
The top-notch master 'Mr. Yu'? Killed with just one move?
The spear in Xu Jingming's hand seemed to have not moved. He glanced at the blind man in black and said, "This man has probably just reached the super first-rate level. No wonder he couldn't even take one of my moves."
After taking the Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid, Xu Jingming was in great condition, with a combat bonus of nearly 50 times! Much stronger than those who had just entered the super first-class realm, with a combat bonus of about 20 times... Plus, the gun skills of the "Light Chapter" were originally extremely fast.
"What a gun skill!" The gray-haired old man Liu Yunchen widened his eyes. He had just seen the scene clearly. The masked assassin moved the spear at a speed that was visibly faster than the blind man in black. The blind man in black's swordsmanship seemed ridiculous in front of such gun skills.
"The enemy is powerful, protect the prince and leave quickly!" The figure of the white-haired old man appeared in front of Prince Qi like a ghost.
"Master Liu, be careful!"
Prince Qi's face turned pale, and he immediately fled out through the side door under the protection of his personal guards. After all, Prince Qi was also a third-rate master, so he was quite fast when he escaped. Those personal guards were all first-rate masters, but at this moment they were all focused on protecting the prince and did not attack Xu Jingming.
"Mr. Yu is a top-notch master, how could he be killed in just one move? Aren't we just going to die if we go up there?" The guards were also a little afraid, and hurried to protect the prince and escape.
The maids also followed behind and fled.
But the gray-haired old man stopped Xu Jingming and said, "You are definitely not an unknown person to be able to kill Yu Tianxing with one move. Who are you?"
"There's no need to ask about a dead man." As Xu Jingming's voice rang out, the spear in his hand had already reached the white-haired old man.
"clang."
The sword in Liu Yunchen's hand flashed, blocking the terrible shot.
hold head high!!!
The gun shadows flashed continuously, tearing the air with a harsh sound. Liu Yunchen's body movements matched his sword skills, like a dragon swimming between heaven and earth. But Xu Jingming was like a terrifying light! A light that crushed everything!
In the blink of an eye, seven shots were fired in succession! The seventh shot had already pierced through Liu Yunchen's chest.
"How is this possible?" Liu Yunchen looked down at his chest. The spear had pierced through his heart, completely shattering it!
"puff."
Xu Jingming drew his gun, blood splattered, and the gray-haired Liu Yunchen fell down powerlessly and became a corpse.
…
On the other side, Prince Qi fled under the protection of his personal guards and encountered a large number of guards who had rushed over.
"Protect the prince."
"Protect the prince."
These guards all stood on both sides to protect him.
Prince Qi’s mansion is very big, but also very small... For an expert, within a blink of an eye, three or four hundred guards have arrived around Prince Qi.
There were large groups of guards holding shields, as well as guards holding strong bows and crossbows. With a large number of guards protecting the prince in layers, Prince Qi felt relieved.
“There are thousands of top-notch masters in my Prince Qi’s Mansion. Now that Dean Ming is dead, no matter how powerful the masters in the entire imperial capital are... they will surely die when facing the siege of thousands of top-notch masters.” Prince Qi was full of confidence.
Thousands of top-notch masters are far from enough to fight for the world.
But against an assassin?
"Your Highness, Senior Liu is dead." A guard came to report.
"Dead?" King Qi's face changed. Mr. Yu was a newly recruited top-notch expert, but he was still a long way behind Liu Yunchen. Liu Yunchen was also the one he trusted the most. In the imperial capital, whether he went to a brothel or dealt with people from all walks of life, he would always ask Master Liu to accompany him.
"Kill the assassin for me." Prince Qi pointed in the direction of the main hall with a ferocious look on his face.
…
Xu Jingming took Fei Xinlan out from the side door of the hall, and after using his spiritual power to explore, he chose a nearby house.
"You stay here first." Xu Jingming said.
"Who are you……"
Fei Xinlan looked at Xu Jingming with some uncertainty.
From the moment Xu Jingming appeared in the main hall, Fei Xinlan felt that this person's figure was very familiar! His voice was also very similar to her elder brother Jing! But the look in this assassin's eyes... seemed a little different from that of elder brother Jing, and his shooting skills were too exaggerated!
He killed Mr. Yu with one move and killed Liu Yunchen instantly. With such strength, could he be Brother Jing?
"Didn't recognize you?" Xu Jingming took off the mask.
After experiencing the training in the mysterious land, especially the hundreds of years of training on the sixth planet, Xu Jingming has undergone a complete transformation. His eyes are much sharper than before, and the sense of oppression is much stronger.
So Fei Xinlan didn't dare to recognize him for a while.
"Brother Jing!" When Fei Xinlan saw Xu Jingming taking off his mask, the tense string in her heart suddenly relaxed and tears flowed instantly.
Her eldest brother died, her father disappeared, and she was arrested.
Fei Xinlan felt that the future was dark.
finally……
Brother Jing is here!
"Don't cry." Xu Jingming comforted.
