The cold dew of September and the chilly night wind.
The raindrops fluttered in the wind, like countless beaded curtains scattered in the ink-like night, blowing the leaves on both sides of the official road.
This was an official road leading to Taiyi Palace, built along the mountain.
Taiyi Palace was located on Taishang Peak thirty miles ahead. This was the only way.
At this moment, two figures were shuttling through the storm, hurrying along the official road.
A white-haired old man walked in front.
The old man's face was dark, and his eyes were malicious. Looking at the aura emitted from his body, it had suddenly reached the peak of the tenth level.
The old man was Ye Qingfeng's father, Ye Yuan, who was 67 years old this year.
Beside Ye Yuan was a slightly plump middle-aged man.
His name was Chen Xuan, 41 years old, and his cultivation was at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm. He was Ye Yuan's first disciple.
At this moment, both of their expressions were somewhat solemn.
"Master, little junior brother will definitely be fine. You don't have to worry.”
Ye Yuan shook his head." I had a son in my middle age. Azurepeak is my only child. How can I not be worried when he suddenly disappeared?"”
Chen Xuan continued to console him." Master, I heard that Young Master Qin Zheng is a good-for-nothing. The royal family spent a lot of resources on him, but he has only cultivated to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm until now.”
"Not only that, he has been ranked last in the Royal Family Tournament for two years in a row. According to the rules of the royal family, if he ranked last again this year, he would be stripped of his status as a young master and demoted to a commoner.”
"That's why this fellow is not welcomed in the royal family. Those who have some knowledge are not willing to join him. That's why he lacks talents under him.”
"And little junior brother's strength has reached the peak of the seventh rank. Even if Qin Zheng really wanted to deal with little junior brother, he doesn't have that ability. Thus, this disciple feels that little junior brother's disappearance this time is just Seventh Young Master exaggerating. Master, you don't have to worry. Perhaps his junior brother was too playful and went elsewhere.”
"Your analysis is very reasonable." Ye Yuan smiled bitterly. That Qin Zheng really can't enter the hall of elegance. If it was in the past, I would not have taken it to heart when I received a letter from the Seventh Young Master. However, I had a terrifying dream last night!”
"Uh... Master, what dream is it?"
"I dreamt that Feng 'er's face was covered in blood. He was hanging on the cliff and shouting for help. But when I went to save him, his hand slipped and he fell into the abyss. Ever since I woke up from my dream, my heart has been pounding. I didn't expect to receive a letter from the Seventh Young Master today.”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan was secretly shocked.
"Master, perhaps you miss Junior Brother too much, so…" he consoled.
"Shut up!"
However, at this moment, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped and interrupted Chen Xuan's words. Then, he looked forward with a solemn expression.
Chen Xuan was shocked and quickly stopped in his tracks to look ahead.
In front of him, the night was hazy and the rain was falling. There was no movement.
Chen Xuan looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
However, Ye Yuan's expression became more and more solemn.
At that moment, the scene became very quiet.
He could only hear the sound of rain patting the leaves.
After a while, Ye Yuan sighed faintly.
"Sigh! Sir, please come out and meet me!"
Pa! A big foot wearing a gold-plated Tiger Wolf Warrior Boots stepped heavily into a shallow puddle, splashing muddy yellow water.
This sudden sound was so loud in the silent night sky.
Then, a mysterious warrior wearing a black dragon mask with purple patterns and a black silk robe appeared.
He slowly walked out of the darkness ahead.
The mysterious warrior had long, flowing black hair and a tall and slender figure. His rosy lips were exposed under the mask, and an evil smile hung on his face.
"Deacon Ye is indeed extraordinary! To be able to discover my hiding place so quickly, I really admire you!”
The mysterious martial artist spoke.
Actually, he is Qin Zheng.
At this moment, Qin Zheng's voice was somewhat hoarse. He was pretending.
Seeing Qin Zheng appear, Ye Yuan secretly lets out a sigh of relief.
But when he clearly saw the aura emitted from Qin Zheng's body, it was actually only at the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, and he could not help frowning.
"Strange! How could this guy's cultivation be so low? Why did I feel a sense of danger earlier? Could it be that this old man missed Feng 'er too much and his senses became chaotic?”
Thinking of this, Ye Yuan's heart relaxed, and his eyes revealed disappointment.
He had thought that he had encountered some great expert, but it turned out to be a small character.
Chen Xuan, who was at the side, was even more depressed. Previously, he was also stunned by Qin Zheng.
When he saw clearly that Qin Zheng was just a minor character of the 7th Tier, his eyes instantly revealed disdain and his face revealed a mocking expression.
He stepped forward and said coldly,""I was wondering what kind of expert he was, but it turns out that he's just a little thief who hides his head and shows his tail. Why didn't you open your eyes wide to see who you were blocking? If he didn't want to die! Hurry up and get lost!"
"Wait!" Ye Yuan stopped him.
Even though Ye Yuan looks down on Qin Zheng, he still has some suspicions in his heart.
"Friend, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence that you blocked the road in the middle of the night, right?" he asked in a deep voice. What are your intentions?"
"I just want to ask the two of you to turn back. This road is blocked!"”
As soon as he said this, Ye Yuan frowned slightly.
"You?" Chen Xuan was furious.! Truly ignorant! Master, this kid doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Let this disciple teach him a lesson!”
Hearing this, Ye Yuan nodded slightly.
He was suspicious of Qin Zheng and wanted Chen Xuan to probe him.
Seeing Ye Yuan's silent agreement, Chen Xuan turned around and looked at Qin Zheng.
"Kid, you seem to know how to pretend. Then let me see how much weight you have.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan unsheathed the sword at his waist and directly pounced towards Qin Zheng.
Facing the incoming attack, Qin Zheng remains unmoved, the corners of his mouth only revealing a faint smile.
In just an instant, Chen Xuan had arrived in front of Qin Zheng. With a single slash of his sword, he sent countless raindrops flying as he directly stabbed towards Qin Zheng's throat.
But Qin Zheng didn't move at all.
Chen Xuan felt strange and thought to himself, Is this guy scared silly?”
However, just as Chen Xuan was distracted, Qin Zheng finally moved. The aura from his entire body suddenly erupted, instantly reaching the level of a ninth stage martial artist.
"Not good!"
Chen Xuan exclaimed in his heart!
Clang!
The sound of metal rubbing against the sword case suddenly rang out.
A cold light flashed in the dark night.
Blood splattered!
A head flew up!
Qin Zheng's sudden outburst caught Chen Xuan off guard and actually beheaded him.
Not far away, Ye Yuan was stunned.
The crowd fell silent.
Chen Xuan's headless body fell to the ground, blood mixed with mud flowing down.
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood and a thick murderous aura.…….
