I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

The leading Qiantian Guard glanced at Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Guizi and shouted.

"Take it!"

Immediately, the Qiantian guards rushed forward.

Xiao Xuanzi had never seen such a powerful situation before, so he could only shout in panic: "What are you doing, sirs? What have I done wrong?"

Unlike Xiao Xuanzi's panic, Xiao Guizi had a blank expression, except for a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Faced with the Qiantian guards with high cultivation levels, the seemingly weak Xiao Guizi actually fought them off without any effort.

"It's really you!"

The leading Qiantian Guards immediately showed a look of strong vigilance in their eyes, followed by the sounds of weapons being unsheathed.

Even though he was now heavily surrounded by the Qiantian Guards, Xiao Guizi remained calm.

"Get it for me!"

With an angry shout, the Qiantian guards attacked again.

Xiao Guizi flashed to the side of the frightened Xiao Xuanzi and said with a sinister smile: "Didn't you say just now that you wanted to repay your kindness? Now is your chance!"

After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Xuanzi's neck tightly, lifted him up from the bed, and then threw him towards the Qiantian guards who were besieging him.

Xiao Xuanzi was just an ordinary person, without any martial arts skills, so he was naturally powerless to resist.

"Do not--"

With the dull sound of a sword entering the body and the abrupt scream, Xiao Xuanzi, who had dreamed of becoming a powerful eunuch one day, died with his eyes open before he even started his career as a eunuch.

Taking advantage of the few moments when Qiantianwei was blocked, Xiao Guizi had already escaped through the window and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Chase him now!"

The leading soldiers' eyes suddenly became bloodshot and they roared in rage.

It took a lot of effort to find the assassin. If I let him escape under my nose, then my good days in this life will be over!

After saying that, he rushed out at the lead, leaving the rest of the Qiantian guards behind.

As soon as he escaped from the main room, Xiao Guizi tapped his feet a few times and leaped dozens of feet away, wandering in the palace like a ghost.

After the assassination attempt on the emperor failed, he did not escape immediately. Instead, he pretended nothing had happened and continued to play the role of a young eunuch.

I had been planning to wait until this wave of excitement had passed before making new plans.

He just didn't expect that his disguise would be seen through, forcing him to escape.

Although it was easy for him to escape from the capital, after this assassination attempt, the emperor would definitely be on high alert.

At that time, it would be extremely difficult to sneak into the palace again.

Besides, the task given to him by the sect was to replace the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty within one month.

Now, not only did he fail to complete the tasks he was assigned to do, but he probably wouldn't even get a second chance. How could he have the face to return to the sect?

Just as Xiao Guizi was thinking about how to proceed, she suddenly felt a murderous intent coming from behind her.

He slapped back without looking back.

The powerful true energy swept across and collided with the murderous intent from a distance.

boom--

The moment the two collided, the shock wave blew away blue bricks weighing dozens of pounds from the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Xiao Guizi rolled up her sleeves to clear away the blinding dust and looked around.

The next moment, a ray of cold light emerged from behind him again.

It came at an extremely fast speed, at a tricky angle, and with the force of splitting a mountain.

Although Xiao Guizi was surprised, she remained calm in the face of the sneak attack.

The extremely swift knife light was heading straight for Xiao Guizi's waist and abdomen. If she wasn't careful, she would be cut in half.

Just a second before the knife made contact, Xiao Guizi's body twisted at an angle that was extremely contrary to common sense, barely avoiding the knife.

The attack missed and the man finally revealed himself.

Tang Yu held a long knife with a gloomy look in his eyes.

After learning that his father had been assassinated, he rushed back to the palace without stopping, fearing that something might have happened to Tang Zheng.

Xiao Guizi stared at the knife in his hand, and a hint of greed flashed in her eyes.

As the saying goes, a knife is heavy and a sword is light, but Tang Yu's knife combines the advantages of both.

It is three feet and one inch long, with a narrow blade that is as bright as frost and snow. It is engraved with mysterious patterns, and the entire blade sparkles with a chilling feeling under the refraction of the sunlight.

"Such a magical weapon should belong to me!"

Facing Tang Yu holding the magic weapon, Xiao Guizi had no intention of retreating. Instead, the greed in his eyes grew stronger. His body trembled and disappeared as a shadow.

Tang Yu just sneered at this.

This person's cultivation level is the same as his, both are at the Tianyuan realm.

But now he had a magic weapon in his hand, so he was 100% sure to capture this beast alive.

Tang Yu shook the blade lightly, took a big step forward and chopped towards somewhere.

...

When Qiantianwei arrived in a hurry, Xiao Guizi's face was as pale as gold paper, and he was lying on the ground, spitting out blood.

There was a hideous wound on his chest that was so deep that the bone was visible, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"I've met the prince!"

When they saw who had subdued the assassin, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Continue the search to see if the assassin has other accomplices lurking in the palace."

Tang Yu shook off the blood on the blade, said a few words, and then disappeared in front of everyone carrying Xiao Guizi.

"As ordered!"

After seeing the assassin's appearance, the leading general finally felt relieved.

In the imperial study room.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Tang Yu threw the dying Xiao Guizi to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I have already captured the assassin."

Tang Zheng didn't look at the assassin, but asked with concern: "This assassin's methods are treacherous, is Yu'er injured?"

Tang Yu shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

After confirming that Tang Yu was not injured, Tang Zheng turned his attention to Xiao Guizi.

Xiao Guizi, whose tendons in his hands and feet were cut, lay on the ground with a look of death in his eyes.

"Don't even think about getting any information from me. Instead of wasting your time, why not give me a quick death? Maybe I can still tell you something."

Tang Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this.

Anyone who could sneak into the palace to assassinate someone must not only be very brave, but also be extremely tough.

Ordinary punishment methods may not have any effect on him.

Even so, Tang Zheng had to punish him severely, otherwise he would not be able to vent his anger.

Just as Tang Zheng was about to have Xiao Guizi taken to the Sky Prison for punishment, Yan Xiu's voice suddenly rang out and echoed in the room.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. I have a way to make him speak."

Just as he finished speaking, a paper crane suddenly flew in from the window, flapping its wings.

After spitting the pill in his mouth into Tang Zheng's palm, he flapped his wings and flew out again.

"Master's magic is truly ever-changing. This folding of paper into a crane is simply a magical technique."

Tang Yu said with a sigh.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to sigh, he pinched Xiao Guizi's mouth open and forced the pill into her mouth.

"If you are willing to tell the truth, you won't have to suffer this bloody crime."

At this time, Yan Xiu's voice sounded again.

Xiao Guizi sneered when he heard this, spat and said viciously: "You are playing tricks on me. If I ask for mercy..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Guizi's face suddenly twisted and he let out a heart-wrenching howl.
