"The old slave hasn't asked yet. He said that the ancestors were all in a hurry and didn't leave anything behind."
The steward answered carefully.
"There are few forces in the world who can sneak into Zhoutian City to assassinate the powerful Yuanshen, namely the three major forces of Demon Realm, Demon Realm, and Netherworld Palace.
The most likely one is Netherworld Palace."
After the middle-aged beautiful woman calmed down, she began to analyze.
She has a deep understanding of the energy of Netherworld Palace.
At first, she offered a reward for the assassination of Nangong Yuanwu of the Nangong family. Later, the old guy was almost assassinated to death in the territory of the Nangong family. It is said that he is still seriously injured until now.
Since then, the middle-aged beautiful woman has been deeply aware of the horror of the Netherworld Palace.
Now that the old man Gongsulian has been assassinated, the most likely possibility is that someone is offering a reward for his life in the Netherworld Palace.
Only the killers from that place have the ability to sneak into Zhoutian City quietly and carry out the assassination.
It is a pity that she is now under house arrest on Xiaoyou Peak and is not allowed to go out. She can no longer interfere with many of her previous businesses and has no ability to offer another reward.
Otherwise, she will definitely issue another assassination mission to let the old man Nangong Yuanwu die completely and avenge her Yu'er.
Just when the middle-aged beautiful woman was secretly resentful, a voice suddenly sounded: "I have some insight, I know that the Netherworld Palace is responsible for the assassination."
The beautiful middle-aged woman was shocked when she heard this strange voice.
The housekeeper beside her changed her face even more, and wanted to block her in front of the lady.
However, just when he moved, he felt a sword energy full of murderous intent coming towards him.
The sword's intent was so sharp that it seemed to cut the heaven and earth apart, and it was impossible to withstand it.
The housekeeper was shocked. As soon as the magic power in his body was activated, the sword energy was pierced between his eyebrows. His soul was wiped out and he was completely dead.
As for the beautiful middle-aged woman, she was already put into the Lihuo Cauldron before she could even see Lu Qing's face clearly.
After putting the middle-aged beautiful woman Zhen Feng into the Lihuo Cauldron, Lu Qing looked at the housekeeper whose eyes were dim and lifeless.
之所以将此人斩杀，是因为他从山下那侍女的神魂中，查探到一些信息，知道这个也是死不足惜的家伙，也就顺手解决了。
After putting away the butler's body, Lu Qing did not leave immediately, but instead entered the Lihuo Cauldron with a trace of his mind.
When he just killed the housekeeper, he had already sealed off the surrounding space, not even a trace of breath leaked out, and he would not attract the attention of the outside world for the time being.
As for this small mountain peak, no one usually comes here at all, so it can be regarded as a temporarily safe place.
In the Lihuo Cauldron, a middle-aged beautiful woman was trapped in a space cage, feeling the endless darkness and nothingness around her, her face frightened.
But soon, her expression slowly calmed down again.
As the direct wife of Gongshujia, although her cultivation level is only at the middle level of Jindan, her knowledge is not bad.
Him has recognized that the place he is currently in should be in the space inside a certain spiritual weapon.
"Yes, she is indeed the second wife's direct wife, and she has some determination."
Lu Qing's figure suddenly emerged from the void.
Of course, the image he showed was not his true face, but the one wearing a black cloak and a ghostly face mask.
"Your Excellency caught me here instead of killing me directly. It was obviously because we had something to discuss, so why should I panic."
The middle-aged beautiful woman's expression became calmer and she looked at Lu Qingdao.
“Guess, what is the purpose of bringing you here?” Lu Qing asked with interest.
"If my wife's guess is correct, you should be the mysterious strong man who assassinated that old guy Gong Shulian, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Lu Qing did not deny it.
"Your Excellency assassinated Gongshu Lian, and his cultivation can be said to be extremely advanced, but the old guys of Gongshu Lian are not easy to mess with.
Now they have activated the Zhoutian Star Formation, and even senior Yuan Shen powerful people cannot break through the city and leave.
Your Excellency sneaked into the inner city, presumably looking for a way to leave, right?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman stared at Lu Qing closely.
His face looks calm, but in fact he is extremely nervous.
She never expected that this terrifying assassin could evade the senses of so many ancestors and lurk in the inner city.
It is a pity that she is now trapped in the spiritual weapon space, and even if she wants to secretly convey the message, she cannot do so.
Now she can only pray that her guess is correct. In that case, she will be useful to this mysterious assassin.
"So, can you help me?" Lu Qing said lightly.
"Of course. If you want to go out, I can help you!" The beautiful middle-aged woman said without hesitation.
Whether she can or not, she must save her life now.
However, what she didn't expect was that Lu Qing's eyes showed a half-smile at this time: "You are very smart, but it is a pity that I am not here to find a way out of the city, but I come here specifically to find you."
She was about to say something, but it was too late. A wave of soul had already landed on the acupoint between her eyebrows.
Suddenly, endless illusions began to engulf her.
Time passes very quickly in the illusion space. The middle-aged beautiful woman only has the soul will of the golden elixir realm, and she is completely unable to resist the erosion of Lu Qing's illusion.
So in less than ten breaths, he already knew the information he wanted to know.
Withdrawn the illusion and suppressed the power of the middle-aged beautiful woman's soul, Lu Qing still did not kill her.
The main reason is that this woman also left a soul lamp in the ancestral temple of the loser. Once she dies, it is likely to attract the attention of the loser immediately.
Lu Qing still has one important thing to do right now. If he succeeds, it is very likely that he will not need to work so hard to accept various assassination missions in the following days.
Thinking of the information he just obtained from the middle-aged beautiful woman’s soul, Lu Qing’s eyes revealed a glimmer.
Then without hesitation, the figure disappeared again, blended into the surrounding atmosphere, and quickly lurked in a certain direction.
Relying on his ability to perfectly conceal the aura, coupled with the emptiness of the inner city at this time.
Lu Qing soon arrived at his destination.
Back to Xingfeng.
This is one of the largest spiritual peaks in the inner city. It is also the spiritual peak where the direct descendants of the second family of the public loser live.
The middle-aged beautiful woman Qiao Rong in the Lihuo Cauldron has been living here before she was placed under house arrest in Xiaoyou Peak.
Lu Qing came here for no other purpose. Naturally, he came here for the treasure trove of the second family member of the public loser.
He learned from Qiao Rong's soul memory that the direct descendants of the Gongshu family were divided into eight families.
Although most of the resources in the clan are in the hands of the clan leader, each direct lineage actually has its own property, and the second clan is no exception.
Just like when Qiao Rong was not beaten into Xiaoyou Peak, she was not only in charge of many properties of Erfang.
She even has several private properties in her hands, which are her private and exclusive properties.
Like Tianjifang in Canglan City in Xiaocang Realm, it was actually her private property.
Lu Qing also learned a very important piece of information from Qiao Rong's soul memory.
That is, in addition to most of Erfang’s property income being in the hands of her husband, the owner of Erfang, a considerable part is also kept in a treasure house on Huixing Peak.
The purpose of Lu Qing's trip was that treasure house.
Hibernating back to the Star Peak quietly, although as the residence of Erfang, there are many formations set up on the peak.
But this did not trouble Lu Qing at all, and he already knew the location of those formations and the method of passing them from Qiao Rong's soul memory.
In addition, Qiao Rong's husband, the owner of the second house, is one of the dozen or so figures in the outer city.
Hence, Lu Qing is now in a deserted place at Hui Xing Peak, and no one can detect him at all.
Soon, he had arrived in front of the treasure house, and even dealt with the outposts around the treasure house.
After finishing it, Lu Qing began to hit the seals one after another and landed on the treasure house gate.
Suddenly, a formation of light began to flicker.
Just when Lu Qing was opening the treasure house, on the other side, in the sky above the outer city, the faces of the more than ten ancestors of the public losers were very ugly.
"Why can't I find it? Old Fourth, are you sure that the assassin is still in the city before the Zhoutian Star Formation is fully activated?"
"Of course it's certain." The old man in black robe said with certainty, "Father, can I still tell lies? Besides, after the assassin killed Lao Qi, I arrived in less than ten breaths. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for him to escape from the city."
"But. We have searched the outer city three times, but there is no trace of the assassin at all. Under the exploration of the Zhoutian Star Formation, even if you have understood the power of the spirit of space, it is difficult to completely hide your body without revealing any clues. "
The old man with a white hair and a boyish face said seriously.
The old man in black robe also fell silent.
To be honest, he couldn't figure out why he couldn't find his hiding place now, even though he had sensed the assassin disappearing nearby.
Where did the assassin hide? Could it be that the magic weapon he used to conceal his breath could be a top-grade spiritual weapon?
"Father, there is another place we are not looking for." At this time, another figure suddenly said.
"Where?"
"Inner City." The figure said seriously, "Do you think the assassin will sneak into the inner city while we are not paying attention?"
"Impossible!" The old man with gray hair and boyish face said flatly, "When we came out, we didn't sense anything unusual in the inner city.
After we came out, the inner city was completely sealed, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
Tell me, how could the assassin break through the defenses of the Zhoutian Star Formation and sneak into the inner city right under our noses? "
The figure was speechless.
He also knew that what he said was very unrealistic, but apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other possibility that could make the assassin disappear out of thin air.
Other figures are also very confused and don't understand what went wrong.
At the same time, his face was even more ugly.
If the assassin cannot be found, doesn’t it mean that they will not be able to avenge Lao Qi?
In that case, it would be a huge shame for them as public losers!
Just when the ancestors of the public losers were thinking about countermeasures with ugly expressions, one of the figures suddenly shook his body, and his face showed an angry look.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
The gray-haired and childlike old man immediately noticed his change and asked.
"No, it's nothing." The figure said hesitantly.
"There is no reason why your face would become so ugly. Please tell me honestly, what happened?" the old man with gray hair and childlike face scolded.
"Father, it is the formation of the treasure house in my house that has been opened. It must be that wretched maid who is causing trouble for me at this time!"
The second-fang master of the public loser's family was angry when he saw his father, and had to tell the truth.
"Your mother-in-law is causing trouble again. I have told you to take care of her... No, isn't she under house arrest in Xiaoyou Peak? Why can she still open the treasure house?"
His mind seemed to have a flash of thunder and lightning, and he was suddenly shocked.
"No, the assassin is probably really in the inner city, let's go back quickly!"
After saying that, he had already swept out and rushed back to the inner city as fast as possible.
It was only then that the other figures realized the meaning of their father's words.
While subconsciously following my father to the city, I felt a sense of absurdity in my heart.
The assassin really sneaked into the inner city right under their noses. How on earth was he able to do this?
A group of people rushed back to the inner city anxiously. At this moment, they felt that the Zhoutian Star Array was an obstacle.
Under the shroud of the formation, the space of Zhou Tiancheng is extremely stable. Even the Yuanshen Power, which is proficient in the power of space, is unable to explode with too strong a speed, let alone use the technique of space movement.
Otherwise, they would have rushed back to the inner city even faster.
"Damn it!"
Among them, the owner of the second house was the most anxious.
The assassin touched the treasure house formation, and if all the treasures inside were destroyed, it would be a big loss for him.
"We must race against time."
On the other side, Lu Qing, who had already opened the treasure house, immediately rushed in.
He knew that the formation on the treasure house was mentally connected to the head of the second house.
Once it is turned on, it will definitely alarm him.
Hence, the time he has left is very limited.
After entering the treasure house, what comes to you is a dazzling treasure light.
But at this time, Lu Qing did not have time to identify them one by one. He directly sacrificed the Lihuo Cauldron and the Qiankun Qi Bag. The two spiritual weapons came out at the same time and sucked them into the treasure house.
Many of the treasures in the treasure house were originally protected by formations, but how could they withstand the power of the spiritual weapons?
Suddenly, a strong wind rose in the treasure house, and various treasures flew into the two spiritual weapons.
After a few breaths, the huge treasure house was looted by Lu Qing, not even a single piece of wood was left.
After doing all this, Lu Qing's figure turned into a sword light and flew out quickly.
He has already felt that there are more than ten extremely powerful auras approaching here at a very fast speed.
