Chapter 67

“Truly damn it!”

“This Ghost is bullying people too much!”

“He actually killed Feng Chen, damn it!”

In the secret room, Zhao Mingqu roared loudly, his face distorted and angry!

Today,

he encountered the Ghost,

and he sent Feng Chen to track the Ghost.

Originally, he thought,

this was just a small matter.

Feng Chen followed the Ghost,

and as long as he waited for those few parties to strike together,

today they would definitely solve the Ghost and eliminate future trouble.

However, he did not expect,

the Ghost did not die,

but Feng Chen was killed by the Ghost before the reinforcements arrived!

“Master, please calm down, calm down...”

The old steward looked at the angry and roaring Zhao Mingqu, his face worried, and he hurriedly persuaded: “Don’t ruin your health; it’s not worth it to ruin your health...”

“Calm down? How can I calm down? Feng Chen was killed! He was my capable assistant!”

Zhao Mingqu heard the steward’s words, could not help but glare at him angrily, his eyes blood-red, his anger towering.

At this moment,

he had the urge to kill someone!

However,

in his heart, there was also a kind of,

deep feeling of powerlessness and discomfort!

Because he,

understood very well that this matter could no longer be changed...

The most important thing now,

was to first resolve,

the series of events that might be triggered after Feng Chen was killed...

Zhao Mingqu’s expression changed uncertainly, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

The muscles on his face jumped, and his breathing was heavy.

After a good while,

he finally calmed down a little.

“Those people...”

Zhao Mingqu, having calmed down, thought of those people and suddenly asked the old steward: “Did they respond?!”

“No...”

The old steward’s expression changed, and he shook his head slightly: “The people sent to contact them did not get a response...”

“No response?!”

Zhao Mingqu’s expression changed, and cold light flickered in his eyes: “Are these people planning to distance themselves?!”

“This old servant does not know...”

The old steward’s face was full of worry.

This matter,

he could not give a clear answer,

and did not know what the specific situation was.

Zhao Mingqu’s expression changed uncertainly, gloomy and icy, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Suddenly,

“Hehehe...”

Zhao Mingqu sneered, his laughter gloomy and hoarse: “They don’t have the guts to abandon me casually...”

“If I run into any trouble, none of them will have a good ending...”

“If I die, they will have to be buried with me!!!”

“They all have to die!!!”

Regarding the fact that those people did not give any response at this time, Zhao Mingqu was angry while sneering repeatedly.

He was not afraid of those people abandoning him.

If those people,

did not care about him after something happened,

with the various intelligence and evidence he held in his hands now...

He would definitely drag a large group of people down to be buried with him!!!

“Continue to contact them!!”

Zhao Mingqu took a deep breath, his eyes boiling with killing intent: “Tell them to strike and kill the Ghost!”

“The Ghost cannot be allowed to continue living!”

“Otherwise, no one will be able to sleep peacefully!”

“This person is too much of a threat!!!”

The appearance of the Ghost was something Zhao Mingqu did not take seriously at first.

However, now,

he had to take it seriously;

even a Grandmaster-level expert by his side was killed just like that...

From this, one could see,

how terrifying this Ghost was!

“Understood!”

The old steward nodded solemnly upon hearing his words and prepared to go instruct people to handle the affairs.

However,

at the moment he turned around,

“Wait!”

Zhao Mingqu suddenly called the steward to a halt.

“Master, is there anything else?!”

The steward turned back and asked the Prince.

“Strengthen the alert!”

Zhao Mingqu gritted his teeth: “The alert force within the Prince’s residence must be strengthened immediately; forbid anyone unauthorized from approaching my residence!!!”

Zhao Mingqu, who had a chill in his heart,

was uneasy.

Therefore,

he felt that,

his Prince’s residence,

needed to strengthen its alert force;

he did not want to be suddenly infiltrated by the Ghost’s people in the middle of the night while he was sleeping,

and be killed in his sleep!

“Prince, rest assured, this old servant has already started making arrangements for this.”

The old steward responded hurriedly: “Nowadays, the protective force inside and outside the Prince’s residence has already doubled.”

"Rest assured, Prince, this old servant began making arrangements for this matter long ago."

The old steward hurriedly replied, "The defensive forces both inside and outside the Wang Fu have already been doubled."

“Even if a large army attacked the Prince’s residence, it would not be easily broken.”

Listening to the steward’s words, the Prince breathed a long sigh of relief: “Very good, your arrangements are good; continue to contact those people and have them strike.”

“Yes!”

The steward responded and left the secret room.

After the steward left the secret room, Zhao Mingqu sat in the secret room, and the flickering light of the jumping candle fell on his face.

It made his gloomy and distorted face

look hideous and terrifying.

“This Ghost...”

Zhao Mingqu’s expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he murmured in a low voice: “How did he find out about me so quickly...”

At this very moment, Zhao Mingqu

could not understand why this Ghost’s intelligence capability was so powerful.

“If they are really the remnants of the Annan Army...”

“Then they shouldn’t have such powerful investigative capabilities...”

“What is their specific origin?!”

Although,

now these people,

all believed that the Ghost was the power left behind by the remnants of the Annan Army,

but...

Zhao Mingqu suddenly felt,

that the power left behind by the remnants of the Annan Army shouldn’t be so powerful!

The one thinking about this question,

was not just Zhao Mingqu;

many people knew that a Grandmaster-level person by Zhao Mingqu’s side had been killed,

among them,

the Hundred Schools of Thought and various factions all learned of this news immediately...

The Yin-Yang School,

in a secret base within Xianyang City.

Donghuang Taiyi was discussing this matter with several elders of the Yin-Yang School.

“Sword aura crisscrossing, cutting in two with one strike, the strike was clean and neat...”

Yin-Yang School Elder Xinghun said with a solemn expression to Donghuang Taiyi: “The Ghost who killed Feng Chen has extremely strong strength, very likely above Gai Nie...”

“Possessing such strong sword-dao cultivation attainments, he shouldn’t be an unknown person...”

“Where did this Ghost, this sword-dao cultivation Grandmaster, pop out from?!”

“Who is his master?!”

Xinghun’s words fell into the ears of the Yin-Yang School elders, making the expressions on their faces very solemn.

They had already learned about Feng Chen’s death.

Feng Chen’s corpse,

had even been carefully studied by various factions...

After these experts studied it, they had a very frightening discovery.

The strength of the person who killed Feng Chen was very terrifying, definitely not the power that an ordinary Grandmaster-level expert could possess.

“Leader, you said this person’s strength...”

Moon God said with a solemn expression, suddenly asking Donghuang Taiyi, who was sitting in the main seat in silence: “Has he already advanced to the Great Grandmaster realm?!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone’s expression changed instantly, and a look of disbelief appeared in their eyes.

“Great Grandmaster realm?!”

“That’s impossible...”

“In the entire Xianyang City, the number of people at this realm can be counted on one hand...”

“From the current intelligence, this Ghost is not old; if he is really at the Great Grandmaster realm, that is too frightening...”

“...”

Everyone discussed it, feeling that this matter was unlikely.

Donghuang Taiyi listened to Moon God’s words and the voices of the Yin-Yang School elders discussing it.

He was like a sculpture,

sitting there motionless.

It was just that,

the two cold stars beneath his mask

were flickering with sharp light.

“This person...”

Donghuang Taiyi spoke leisurely, his voice low and sharp: “Unfathomable...”

“Currently, there is too little intelligence about him...”

“From one corpse, it is impossible to guess whether he used his full strength...”

“Therefore, I cannot be sure whether he is truly at the Great Grandmaster realm.”

Everyone nodded slightly.

Feeling that what he said made a lot of sense.

“Leader...”

Da Siming said with a solemn expression: “This Ghost has already started striking at the Grandmaster-level people by Zhao Mingqu’s side; the next step is very likely to be killing Zhao Mingqu!”

“Should we strike now?!”

“Should we strike to save Zhao Mingqu, or strike...”

“to eliminate him?!”

When Da Siming said this, a sharp cold light flashed deep in her eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone’s expression changed instantly.

Eliminate Zhao Mingqu, this Prince?!

Under the current situation, if they struck to eliminate Zhao Mingqu, the commotion caused would not be small!!!

Swish swish swish!!!

Everyone’s gaze

gathered on Donghuang Taiyi!

This matter,

how exactly to do it,

all needed to follow Donghuang Taiyi’s instructions!

“Thump thump thump—”

Donghuang Taiyi’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a slight sound.

Falling into everyone’s heart,

it made people feel their hearts

vibrating violently following the rhythm of the tapping fingers, feeling great pressure.

Donghuang Taiyi’s expression beneath the mask was indifferent, and in his pair of eyes, light flickered as he pondered and thought.

He did not speak,

and the atmosphere in the entire secret room

became oppressive and solemn.

Da Siming and the others did not dare to speak to disturb his thinking at this time.

Suddenly,

“Wait and see.”
