Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.
The moon hung high in the night sky.
The pure white moonlight shone on the entire Chang 'an Fortress.
It made this bustling capital city seem even more quiet and distant.
It was already curfew time in Chang 'an.
On the entire street, other than the patrolling team, there were only a few night watchmen wandering around.
Chang 'an was the capital of the entire dynasty, and its security was naturally extremely strict.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin was in the palace, so how could he let the people under his feet not be docile?
The entire night, there would be the Imperial City's Imperial Guards, all dressed in fine equipment.
They patrolled in remote corners and discovered that there were still people wandering around late at night, whether they were civilians or thieves!
All of them would be thrown into prison!
When the reason for not returning home at night was interrogated, the Heartless People would have to spend half a year's worth of money to redeem them.
And those thieves who wanted to take advantage of the dark to do evil would basically be executed on the same day!
Such strict security made the entire Chang 'an City seem extremely quiet under the moonlight!
However, this kind of control would only work on ordinary people.
A peerless expert with supreme martial arts naturally regarded these ordinary soldiers as nothing!
Under the night sky, two figures that looked like swallows streaked across the night sky!
None of the soldiers in the city noticed it!
That ghost-like figure was obviously a top martial arts expert!
Two figures headed straight for the mansion of the meritorious aristocratic family!
In Chang 'an's architectural model, the mansions of the meritorious families were connected together, and the entire area was divided into the core area.
The size and luxury of the mansion were arranged according to the size of the nobility.
Among them, Zhangsun Wuji's Duke Zhao Mansion was the most imposing one among the buildings.
The two ghostly figures were heading towards the residence of the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wuji!
At this moment, in the Duke Zhao Residence.
Zhangsun Wuji was sitting on an armchair in the hall.
The guards and maidservants had already been sent away by him.
Zhangsun Wuji's thin face was covered in a large shadow under the candlelight.
The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Zhangsun Wuji's dark eyes flickered as he pondered over something.
Obviously, he was waiting for someone!
"Lord Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that you will die early? You are still scheming in the middle of the night!”
A cold voice sounded.
Zhangsun Wuji came back to his senses and took a closer look.
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
Their appearances were all extremely beautiful, and one of them had an extraordinary domineering aura. She had the demeanor of an emperor among women.
A woman was as beautiful as a cold pool of water, like a noble daffodil, gentle but unapproachable.
The two women were both cold and elegant, and their appearances were at the peak of the world!
They were the two princesses of the Flower Transferring Palace, whose martial arts had awed all the heroes.
Yao Yue!
Lian Xing!
"You must be joking, Palatial Lord Yao Yue. I'm already sixty years old. Even if I were to be buried now, it wouldn't be considered as early death!”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled. He had been waiting for these two people.
Yao Yue's face was full of impatience, and she did not want to argue with Zhangsun Wuji any longer.
"Cut the crap! Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
Yao Yue and Lian Xing, although their martial arts were top-notch.
However, the cultivation techniques that the two of them cultivated were rare in the world!
It was one of the four great martial arts, the Bright Jade Divine Art!
The highest realm of this cultivation technique was the Limitless Asura, the Nirvana Realm of Tendon Transformation!
Back then, Yao Yue had already passed the Great Oblivion Realm and was climbing to the peak!
She discovered that the vast amount of precious medicines required for this realm was simply not what her Shifting Flower Palace could gather.
At that time, the Shifting Flower Palace was in a precarious situation, and Yao Yue was urgently needed to break through to the ninth realm of the Bright Jade Divine Skill to guard the Shifting Flower Palace!
At that extremely dangerous moment, it was Zhangsun Wuji who made a move.
He decisively took out all his assets and invested in the Shifting Flower Palace!
The Zhangsun Clan was a great clan and the founding minister of the Great Tang!
Just like that, Zhangsun Wuji had spent half of his fortune to help Yao Yue break through to the ninth level! His martial arts were ranked at the top of the martial arts world!
Zhangsun Wuji also used this opportunity to exchange for three chances for the Shifting Flower Palace to help him!
Previously, the Zhangsun Clan had already used it twice. Now, there was only one chance left for this peerless expert to move out.
But thinking of that matter, Zhangsun Wuji had no choice but to invite a top expert to take action!
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wuji didn't say anything and said directly,"
"I need you to help me kill someone. If you kill this person, my Zhangsun Clan and the Flower Transferring Palace will not owe each other anything!”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were filled with killing intent!
As long as that person was dead, the Zhangsun Clan's last chance to use their top expert would be used!
Everything was worth it…
Palatial Lord Yao Yue glanced at Zhangsun Wuji with murderous intent.
"The Prime Minister has the power to rule the court. If you want to kill someone, isn't it just a matter of a word?" Why is he using the power of my Shifting Flower Palace!”
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and said," I can't kill this person openly. This person has a huge power behind him. Many old ministers of the Sui Dynasty secretly support him."”
Thinking that he could only use the Shifting Flower Palace's last chance to make a move, Zhangsun Wuji felt his heart ache again. He sighed and said,
"If I were to use my own forces to attack, there are too many forces in the Great Tang that would attack my Zhangsun Clan.”
"I'm afraid that even His Majesty... They will also personally punish the Zhangsun clan without caring about their feelings…"
Yao Yue chuckled again.
She already knew who Zhangsun Wuji was going to attack!
Only that person could make the ruthless Zhangsun Wuji hesitate!
He even wanted to use his last chance to use the power of the Shifting Flower Palace.
Palatial Lord Soliciting Moon laughed as she looked down on Zhangsun Wuji's insidiousness. She mocked,""I know who the Prime Minister wants to kill, but didn't the poison work?”
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head. He did not know why the medicine did not work!
That was Soul Devouring Powder!
This poison was known as the Soul Devouring Poison and was one of the three great poisons in the world!
Not to mention a person who was powerless.
Even if it was a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, as long as this poison entered their body, they would be able to kill the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.
That would also cause his soul to dissipate in three days or so!
He was like a soulless person who was left in the mortal world!
Even Hua Tuo and Bian Que would be helpless!
"The information from Beihan is useless…" Zhangsun Wuji said helplessly.
He had clearly seen Li Ke drink this poison!
It was right in front of him!
He could only watch as the wine mixed with Soul Devouring Powder flowed down Li Ke's throat!
But why was Li Ke still in Beihan as the live-in son-in-law of the Prince's mansion…
This question had troubled Zhangsun Wuji for quite some time!
It almost made him unable to sleep or eat in peace!
After thinking about it, he could only use this last chance to ask the Shifting Flower Palace to help!
He wanted to get rid of the big problem in his heart!
The other Palace Master of the Shifting Flower Palace, Lian Xing, who had been silent beside Yao Yue, spoke up. Her red lips parted slightly as she said,
"Go to Beihan and kill Li Ke! After this was done, the Shifting Flower Palace and the Zhangsun Clan would not owe each other anything!”
Lian Xing's voice was not as domineering as Yao Yue's, and her appearance was more delicate than Yao Yue's.
His voice was even colder!
Yao Yue was at the ninth realm of the Bright Jade Divine Power, the Infinite Asura. Naturally, he was domineering and fearless.
Lian Xing was still in the State of the Great Oblivion. Although she was not as powerful as Yao Yue, her temperament was the coldest.
Beneath her delicate appearance, she seemed to have no interest in anything!
When Zhangsun Wuji heard the other party say this, he knew the price in his heart.
Although it was painful, he had to do it.
If that Li Ke were to remain in this world, it would be a great calamity for his entire Zhangsun Clan!
No matter how great the price was, Li Ke had to die!
Zhangsun Wuji met the gazes of Yao Yue and Lian Xing and nodded heavily."
"As long as Li Ke dies! My Zhangsun Clan and the Flower Transferring Palace don't owe each other anything!”
