In the back garden of the Third Prince's Hongzhen Residence.
In the middle of the pavilion, Third Prince Hongzhen held a brush in one hand and placed the other behind his back. He was bent over in front of a desk, focused on writing.
This was Hongzhen's method of calming his mind. Whenever he was upset, he would write to calm himself down.
He did not know why, but ever since he sent Chu Shan to carry out his plan to divert the disaster to the east, his mind had started to become restless. He could not calm his heart. Even after writing for a long time, his heart could not calm down, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Zhong Xiong, will this plan fail?”
Hong Zhen suddenly stopped writing and turned to Zhong Xiong, a hint of worry in his voice.
He rarely felt worried. Even when Su Chun died in battle and the Crown Prince snatched away his position as the Great General of the Faraway Empire, he was not worried. But now, he was a little worried.
In fact, he didn't know what he was worried about. In short, he had an ominous feeling that this matter might lead to some very bad consequences.
"Your Highness, don't worry. With Chu Shan's eighth-tier sword grandmaster strength, even if he can't defeat that sword grandmaster called Lin Ji, he should be able to protect himself. There shouldn't be a possibility of failure.”
Zhong Xiong said. He wasn't worried at all. After all, Zhu Shan's strength was above average among Hong Zhen's subordinates. He could even put up a fight against ordinary peak grandmasters. As long as he didn't encounter peak grandmasters with special martial intent, he wouldn't lose.
" Sigh, this king feels inexplicably uneasy…"
Hongzhen sighed.
At this moment, outside the Hongzhen King Manor.
A white figure appeared out of thin air and strolled towards the Hongzhen Residence.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The entire space was silent, and the white figure entered the mansion without any hindrance. Until he disappeared at the gate, the guards of the mansion did not notice at all.
Soon, without alerting anyone, the white figure arrived at the back garden where Hongzhen was.
" Who is it?!"
As Zhong Xiong spoke to Hong Zhen, he suddenly caught sight of a white figure from the corner of his eye. Instantly, his hair stood on end, and his scalp felt like it was about to explode. It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
With his cultivation at Zongshi realm ninth level, he actually did not notice a stranger entering the back garden!
Zhong Xiong's body flashed and stood in front of Hong Zhen. At the same time, he poured his zhenqi into his voice and shouted,"Enemy attack!"
To be able to appear here without a sound under his perception range, his strength was probably not even comparable to his. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all and immediately sent out an early warning to the other experts in the Imperial Residence.
The white figure did not stop him. He stood there calmly as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you trespass here? Do you not want to live?”
Zhong Xiong shouted. He was stalling for time, waiting for the other experts from the other palaces to arrive.
"Lin Ji."
the white figure said calmly. It was Ji Ling's avatar.
After he killed Chu Shan, he followed the address he obtained from Chu Shan's memories and rushed over to the Third Prince's residence.
As for his purpose in coming to the Third Prince's mansion, it was naturally to give him a taste of his own medicine. Since the Third Prince had taken the most suicidal step, he had to pay the price!
You're Lin Ji?!"
Zhong Xiong's pupils constricted as a sense of danger rose in his heart. Lin Ji's appearance here at this moment could very well mean that Chu Shan's ambush had failed!
At the same time, this also meant that Lin Ji was a ninth stage realm top notch Sword Dao Great Grandmaster, or else it would be impossible for him to kill Chu Shan who was close to ninth stage.
Hong Zhen also looked at Ji Ling's incarnation in surprise. He had thought that Lin Ji was a new Sword Dao grandmaster, or else no one would have heard of him. He had not expected Lin Ji to have already reached such a level. This was truly a mistake.
"Grandmaster Lin, may I know why you've come to my residence?”
Hong Zhen pretended to be ignorant. The people who carried out the plan were all Chu Shan's original subordinates under the Crown Prince. In other words, they were all the Crown Prince's men. As long as he refused to admit it, Lin Ji would not be able to prove that he was the one who ordered them.
"To kill you, of course."
Lin Ji's tone was very casual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to? It's not too late to surrender now. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place alive today!”
Zhong Xiong berated with a murderous aura.
Just as he spoke, twenty to thirty powerful auras flew over from all directions and landed around Ji Ling's incarnation, surrounding it completely.
The experts of the Hongzhen King Manor had finally arrived.
Ji Ling's incarnation scanned the crowd and nodded. As expected of the Third Prince's lair. There were eleven martial grandmasters and five top-notch martial grandmasters. Although the rest were not martial grandmasters, they were all intermediate grandmasters of the fifth or sixth rank. Those below the fifth rank were not even qualified to appear here.
"Who dares to barge into the Third Prince's mansion?"
"Surrender immediately, or kill without mercy!”
A series of warning and threatening shouts rang out around them. The Grandmasters present circulated their Genuine Qi and locked their auras onto Ji Ling's incarnation, ready to attack at any moment.
"Grandmaster Lin, why did you kill me?”
Hong Zhen stood with his hands behind his back and asked casually. Although Lin Ji's strength had surprised him, he did not regard him as a threat. This was his royal residence, and there were countless experts here. How could Lin Ji threaten him alone with the protection of so many experts?
"If there's injustice, there's injustice. If there's hatred, there's revenge. You want to harm the people I cherish, so I naturally have to settle the score with you.”
Hearing this, Hongzhen smiled faintly and looked down at Ji Ling's incarnation."Grandmaster Lin, do you think you can kill me in the Imperial Residence by yourself?”
"This king is kind-hearted. As long as you are willing to submit and work for this king in the future, this king can consider that your cultivation is not easy and spare your life. What do you think?”
