In the forest, an old figure was fleeing at high speed. He was the eighth-tier grandmaster of the sword.
"What the hell? How could it be a top-notch Great Sword Sect?”
Chu Shan groaned in his heart.
In his impression, there were less than ten top-notch sword grandmasters in the Great Yan Empire. Every one of them was a world-renowned figure, but he had never heard of a person called Lin Ji. He could not figure out where this sword grandmaster came from.
Suddenly.
Chu Shan felt a powerful stagnation force attack him. His body seemed to be stuck to something. His movements became very slow, and his speed decreased greatly.
"Oh no!"
Chu Shan was shocked and hurriedly tried to break free from this stagnation force. However, his attempts were futile. He had no choice but to stop running and turn around to face the enemy.
It was also at this moment that a white figure approached from afar. In a few blinks of the eye, it had arrived in front of Chu Shan.
Chu Shan's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Ji's figure. He wanted to see Lin Ji's face clearly, but Lin Ji's body was covered in a layer of white fog, preventing him from seeing it clearly. The only thing he could be sure of was that Lin Ji looked very young.
Of course, Chu Shan would not judge people based on their appearance. Although most martial grandmasters were in their middle or old age, there were still many talented people who could maintain their youthful looks. Young looks did not mean anything. Moreover, Lin Ji had already displayed his strength.
"Who exactly are you?"
Chu Shan asked in a deep voice.
"Dead people don't need to know my identity.”
A calm voice rang out as Ji Ling's incarnation slowly raised his hand.
"Don't be so arrogant!"
Chu Shan was both shocked and furious. Seeing that Ji Ling was about to attack, he took the initiative to attack. He quickly pulled out a blood-colored longsword and slashed out blood-colored sword shadows at Ji Ling with both hands as fast as a phantom.
"Demonic Sword Blood Shadow Kill!"
Hundreds of blood-red sword shadows interweaved into a giant sword qi net and slashed toward Ji Ling's incarnation with irresistible force. The dispersed sword qi cut the surrounding trees into several pieces, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
This was Chu Shan's strongest technique. If he used it with all his might, even a top-notch Great Sword Sect would be able to fight him.
However, facing this powerful move, Ji Ling's incarnation merely used an ordinary finger.
Pu pu…
A formless destructive force was emitted from his fingertip. The sword shadows that filled the sky instantly shattered, turning into blood and dissipating.
This destructive power continued forward, bombarding Chu Shan's body like a tidal wave, instantly sending him flying dozens of meters away.
Plop!
Chu Shan fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was extremely terrified. His strongest technique had been broken by a single finger! How could Lin Ji be so strong?
"Sir, please wait! I'm the Crown Prince's man, you can't kill me!”
Chu Shan shouted loudly. He could not run or fight. Now, he only hoped that the crown prince's name could suppress Lin Ji. Otherwise, there would only be death.
"Crown Prince?"
Ji Ling's incarnation narrowed his eyes and crossed a distance of several dozen meters to arrive in front of Chu Shan. He looked at Chu Shan with a scrutinizing gaze."In other words, you were sent by the Crown Prince?”
" That's right, the Crown Prince sent me. There might be some misunderstanding, Your Excellency…"
Halfway through Chu Shan's words, Ji Ling's incarnation suddenly struck out with a palm, sending Chu Shan flying once again. This palm strike had nearly extinguished Chu Shan's life force.
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll investigate it myself.”
Ji Ling flashed to Chu Shan's side like a ghost. He pressed his palm down and caught Chu Shan's head in his hand. Immediately after, a vast sea of mental energy blasted into Chu Shan's head.
Soul Searching Technique!
This was a spiritual spell technique that Ji Ling had obtained after entering the Saint Realm. It could search the souls of anyone whose spiritual power was weaker than his and search their spiritual memories.
At this moment, Chu Shan had suffered a fatal blow, and his Mental Energy had already been weakened to a very weak level. Ji Ling's incarnation had effortlessly executed the Soul Searching Art on him.
The soul-searching process was not long. After a while, Ji Ling withdrew his spiritual energy and ended the soul-searching.
At this moment, Ji Ling already understood.
Chu Shan was indeed the Crown Prince's subordinate, and he wasn't lying about this. However, the person he was truly working for wasn't the Crown Prince, but the Third Prince, Hongzhen!
This ambush was also arranged by the Third Prince. He wanted to frame the Crown Prince and force Shen Wansan to oppose the Crown Prince.
"What a good Third Prince!"
Ji Ling's incarnation's eyes flashed with a cold light. He guessed that this ambush had nothing to do with the Crown Prince. After all, anyone with a brain would not provoke a great enemy for no reason during the crucial period of the fight for the throne. Moreover, the Crown Prince had been able to suppress the other princes and gain the upper hand in the many years of open and secret struggles, becoming the person closest to the throne. How could he be a brainless person who acted on impulse?
However, he did not expect that this was actually the Third Prince's doing!
Even though he did not know much about the various factions, he knew that the Su family and the An family behind the General's Estate were both on the Third Prince's side, including Su Chun, who was also a capable general under the Third Prince.
It could be said that the person who should not be the mastermind was the Third Prince.
However, the Third Prince, who should have protected An Ruyi's family at this time, was the first to make a move. He wanted to treat An Ruyi's family as sacrifices in the Imperial Family's struggle.
Such behavior was simply devoid of conscience!
"Of all the moves you could have made, you had to make the most fatal move.”
"In that case, you will be the first to be eliminated.”
Killing intent flashed in the eyes of Ji Ling's incarnation as he muttered. He casually tossed aside Zhu Shan's lifeless corpse and tore through space, speeding towards the Imperial City.
