Huangxiu

Chapter 232 Assassination
He came out of Chu Yi's Wanqing Courtyard, walked out of the palace, and went to his new house.

On Phoenix Avenue, I met Huang Shirong patrolling the streets again. She was still so diligent even after becoming a master.

Wen Qianqian and Xu Mengyu, dressed in snow-white clothes, ran over and greeted them with smiles.

Huang Shirong also came over, clasped his fists and bowed, congratulating him on his retreat, hoping that he would make further progress.

Chu Zhiyuan told him frankly.

Huang Shirong didn't feel anything, as she had long been immune to his progress.

"Did you catch Zhou Tianqi?" Chu Zhiyuan asked casually.

He was curious why Zhou Tianqi would do such a heinous thing as killing his master.

Is it a grudge, or is it obsession?

"......Not yet." Huang Shirong was helpless.

"Young Master, Senior Brother Zhou is still on the run. He's really amazing that he managed to escape until now!" Wen Qianqian sighed.

"Junior Sister Wen!" Huang Shirong glared at her.

Xu Mengyu also glared in dissatisfaction.

Wen Qianqian stuck out her tongue and said with a giggle, "I thought he would be caught in two days. The law enforcement hall in the sect is not an ordinary place!"

"...It's indeed unusual." Xu Mengyu also admitted.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion Brother Zhou took, he seemed to have unlimited strength, and he kept trying desperately to escape without ever getting exhausted.

It is said that the Law Enforcement Hall's masters have been replaced three times, but they still cannot catch up with him.

Even the elders in the hall came out.

Still no use.

Senior Brother Zhou's Qinggong skills suddenly increased, and he had endless strength.

I didn't lose my sight and I could lock onto his scent, but I just couldn't catch up with him.

"Did you use a secret technique?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned. "I have seen a secret technique that can infuse one's own aura into birds and beasts, making them look real."

"...There is such a secret technique?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. One of the true disciples of Yuding Sect had it."

Wen Qianqian waved her hands and smiled, "The secret technique of the Yuding Sect? Senior Brother Zhou can't possibly have that."

Xu Mengyu nodded.

Huang Shirong seemed to be thinking about something.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan's eyes met hers, they both thought of the same possibility.

"No." Huang Shirong shook her head gently: "Senior Brother Zhou is very talented and has made rapid progress. He is now at the second level of Grandmaster and has the potential to become an elder in the sect."

When a Grand Master reaches perfection, he becomes an elder in the sect.

If one can take that crucial step and become a grandmaster, then he will be the supreme elder.

"Geniuses make rapid progress in the Xiantian realm, but will feel a huge gap when they reach the Grandmaster realm."

"...Yes." Huang Shirong nodded.

She fully understands this.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Then is there anything unusual about his whereabouts? Has he been to the south recently?"

"Southern Border?"

"Ah."

"..." Huang Shirong was silent.

Although the sect did not catch Zhou Tianqi, the investigation into him had already begun.

As the youngest grandmaster in the sect, her reputation and status are far higher than those of ordinary disciples, and she is regarded as a future elder.

Therefore, the news within the sect is extremely well-informed.

She knew exactly what was going on in the sect's investigation into Zhou Tianqi.

"The Yuding Sect's territory should be the southern border."

"Yuding Sect..." Huang Shirong still couldn't believe it.

As one of the four major sects, Baiyun Sword Palace has exquisite skills.

There is also the Zhenwu Division, which is a way to obtain the cultivation resources of the imperial court's Tianbao Division.

This is the dream of countless martial artists.

Senior Brother Zhou has excellent qualifications and a bright future. He is expected to become an elder in the sect.

Why do you want to get involved with the Yuding Sect?

Why don't you take the sunny avenue, but have to take the muddy and dangerous road?

How unthinkable is this?!
Chu Zhiyuan said: "This is just a possibility, but you might as well check it carefully, there will always be clues."

The Yuding Sect's practice is different from normal, and the techniques can also lead to changes in one's mind.

These will all manifest themselves externally.

It is impossible for people around you not to notice.

If you don’t think about it in this way, you may not take it to heart, after all, people’s emotions always fluctuate.

With this assumption, it is easy to figure out the anomalies when you look at it again.

"Okay!" Huang Shirong nodded slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and left.

He could feel that the density of martial arts masters on the street was indeed decreasing.

The news that the negotiations between Dajing and Dazhen had ended had already spread and was all over the streets.

The Dazhen envoys were about to leave, and these martial arts masters felt that it was meaningless to stay, so they withdrew one after another. The Ministry of Rites and the Zhenwu Division breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting through this period.

This decision was extremely risky, but this time, all the martial arts sects could see the power of Zhenwu Division, and its deterrent power was further increased.

This will help reduce the occurrence of martial arts masters committing crimes, and the benefits are intangible.

……

Sitting on the couch in the new house, he looked at the main hall of Hou Tu Sect.

Nothing has changed.

The Houtu Sect remains the same.

The golden light of the statue of the Earth God has slightly increased, and it seems that the number of believers has increased again.

Chu Zhiyuan has always been curious about this statue of the Earth God, and has always been wary and suspicious of it.

It is not the way of incense.

If so, then it is a forbidden technique.

But the exact details of the incense method are not clear, because it is a forbidden technique. Not only is there no record of it in Tongtian Pavilion, but also in Mingwu Palace.

-

He stopped by the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as she entered the main house, Zou Fang took the tea offered by the clerk, glanced at it, and then offered it with both hands.

Before he could even take the first sip, Gao Lingfeng came rushing over to him and said, "Sir, the Dazhen and Dameng envoys were assassinated at the same time!"

Chu Zhiyuan put down the teacup and looked at him with a frown.

"Prince Cheng is in critical condition, but His Highness the Ninth Prince is fine."

"Could it be the Secret Shadow Sect and the Jade Ding Sect?"

"It's probably them!"

"Good fellow, ... this is to vent anger on them, to retaliate by disrupting the affairs of the court."

Chu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Even though he is in critical condition, he won't die. How can His Highness the Ninth Prince be fine?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince was alert and sensed the danger in advance, thus avoiding the fatal blow."

“The Nine Heavens Art of Phoenix’s Cry is indeed impressive.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan taking his time, Gao Lingfeng asked, "My Lord, do you want to go and visit him?"

They were assassinated in Yujing City, and as the Ministry of Rites, I should still visit them.

However, Prince Zhuang's status is too high, and Chu Zhiyuan is the most suitable person to be the Left Vice Minister.

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

-

Sifang Pavilion

Dazhen Mission
Chu Zhiyuan came to a courtyard and saw Cheng Tianfeng standing in the middle of the courtyard practicing martial arts.

"Pfft!"

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Tianfeng's face and arms were smeared with black ointment, leaving only his eyes and a mouth full of snow-white teeth exposed.

This was in stark contrast to his original handsome appearance, and he couldn't help himself.

Cheng Tianfeng glared at him.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, I just can't help laughing."

Cheng Tianfeng stopped his moves and said coldly, "Are you happy to see me like this?"

"Actually, I came to congratulate Brother Cheng for escaping death. There will be good fortune in the future if you survive such a disaster!"

"Bullshit about your future fortune!" Cheng Tianfeng couldn't help but curse, "You guys are too incompetent. You actually let the evil sect sneak in and assassinate me!"

Chu Zhiyuan apologized and clasped his fists.

Cheng Tianfeng said: "The two of them suddenly exploded, and everything was destroyed. I was completely unprepared!"

"Defenseless?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "There should have been guards there at the time, right? ... Is there no guard around? Where is Mr. Mo?"

"...Anyway, your guards are too lax!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The Ministry of Rites received a vague message. What exactly is going on? Brother Cheng, there are no outsiders here, so tell us."

"There's nothing to say!" Cheng Tianfeng snorted, "I don't want to talk about that unbearable experience again!"

Chu Zhiyuan stared at him.

Cheng Tianfeng turned his eyes and looked away.

The sky was clear and blue, and two white clouds seemed to be embedded in it, motionless.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and smiled: "Brother Cheng, those two evil sect masters disguised themselves as beauties and came to you, right? Are you having the same old problem again?"

"What old problem!" Cheng Tianfeng said unhappily, "No matter what I do, the evil sects will assassinate me. Is it different for the Ninth Princess?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Isn't His Highness the Ninth Prince at Linglong Library?"

"They lie in ambush on the street, making it even harder to defend against them."

"Then you must be inside the house. No wonder you were so badly injured and couldn't escape. You really have a treasure to protect yourself."

He immediately guessed what was going on.

Two evil demons transformed themselves into two beauties and entered his house, and suddenly used the technique of destroying both themselves and the enemy.

In this situation, Cheng Tianfeng can still save his life, he must have a treasure to protect him.
