114: I'm restless, I need to take a rest
Outside the Changsun family mansion.
Yan Junlin held an umbrella for Xie Weilou, and he said with an apologetic look, "Brother Xie, I was there tonight, but someone still provoked you and even startled you. I'm truly sorry."
Xie Weilou's face was a little pale. Hearing Yan Junlin's words, he quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with the First Prince. I know who wants to harm me."
Yan Junlin said seriously, "Brother Xie, rest assured, with me here, no one can touch you."
Xie Weilou cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, First Prince! Oh, by the way, I didn't seem to see Fang Ruhui's body just now!"
Yan Junlin smiled and said, "It should have been cleaned up."
Xie Weilou did not continue to discuss this issue, but said, "Then I'll go back first. My mind is uneasy tonight, so I need to rest."
Yan Junlin handed the umbrella to Xie Weilou, and he mused, "Tonight's Tianqi City might not be peaceful. Brother Xie, you must be careful."
Xie Weilou took the oil-paper umbrella: "The guard sent by the First Prince is very strong; he can protect me."
"Mhm!"
Yan Junlin responded with a smile.
"Farewell!"
Xie Weilou waved his hand and turned to leave.
Yan Junlin watched Xie Weilou's receding figure, the smile on his face disappeared, and he walked towards a certain direction.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
A guard walked out and respectfully saluted Yan Junlin.
Yan Junlin asked, "Did you see Fang Ruhui being cut down?"
The guard quickly said, "Your subordinate saw it with his own eyes. He was beheaded by a Changsun family guard with one strike..."
Yan Junlin shook his head and said, "Something is wrong with this matter. When I came out just now, I investigated, and that Changsun family guard disappeared."
The guard's eyes narrowed: "Did Fang Ruhui appear here as a Changsun family arrangement?"
"No."
Yan Junlin showed a thoughtful expression.
The guard hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, tonight's assassination..."
Yan Junlin stared at the guard: "Do you think it's my doing?"
"It looks like it!"
The guard did not hide anything and directly spoke his doubts.
Tonight's assassination targeting Xie Weilou seemed more like Yan Junlin's doing, and Yan Junlin indeed had his insiders in Wuya Pavilion.
Yan Junlin walked forward with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "This assassination was not done by me, nor by the second prince. I am happy to watch the show, and I am happy to see Xie Weilou hate the second prince. Many people will think this matter is related to me, and Yan Wuhai will also hate me again. There is still a hand behind the scenes pushing everything."
This is not killing two birds with one stone, but killing multiple birds with one stone.
An assassination targeting Xie Weilou, first, can make Xie Weilou suspect Yan Wuhai, making it difficult for Yan Wuhai to win over Xie Weilou.
Second, it can make Xie Weilou full of hostility towards the Changsun family. This incident happened at the Changsun family. With Xie Weilou's character, how could he not overthink it?
Third, it makes Yan Wuhai and others think that this matter was done by him, thus suspecting him. Yan Wuhai will clean up Wuya Pavilion next, and Yan Junlin will suffer some losses.
If Xie Weilou is smart enough, he will definitely find something wrong, but their Young Master doesn't seem that smart!
Upon hearing this, the guard's heart tensed. He quickly followed up and asked, "What should we do next?"
Yan Junlin said indifferently, "After this incident, Yan Wuhai will definitely clean up Wuya Pavilion. Send a message to the secret agents and tell them to leave quickly, otherwise they will lose their lives for nothing."
Who is pushing all this?
Yan Wuchen, Yan Wugou?
Or... Yan Ruyu?
Yan Junlin felt that the possibility of Yan Wuchen and Yan Wugou was very small.
Instead, it was Yan Ruyu. She knew about his secret agents in Wuya Pavilion. Since he could plant secret agents in Wuya Pavilion, Yan Ruyu naturally could too.
If that's the case, then he has to seriously consider Yan Ruyu's threat level!
The guard quickly said, "Your subordinate understands, but Xie Weilou... Tonight's Tianqi City is not peaceful."
Yan Junlin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my Imperial Father has sent experts. He will be fine!"
Xie Weilou had escaped danger several times, which made him believe that the person behind Xie Weilou was the expert sent by his Imperial Father.
He did not suspect Xie Weilou of feigning weakness to ambush, after all, if Xie Weilou really feigned weakness, he wouldn't have been imprisoned three years ago.
Is it possible for someone to stay in the Tianquan Division Dungeon for three years just to feign weakness?
During his several contacts with Xie Weilou, he had investigated Xie Weilou's situation, and even had a Dao Repository Realm expert secretly investigate, but they did not detect any cultivation aura.
Thus, he naturally did not believe that Xie Weilou was truly someone who feigned weakness to ambush.
"......"
The guard nodded slightly and said nothing more.
——
Inside the city.
Sixth Prince's mansion.
In a grand hall.
Boom!
Yan Wugou opened his eyes, and the aura on his body surged wildly. His cultivation directly stepped from Dragon Transformation Realm Peak into the Dao Repository Realm.
"No destruction, no construction. Congratulations!"
An indifferent voice sounded.
A middle-aged man in a black robe appeared in the hall. He held fragrant tea, took a sip, and then looked at Yan Wugou expressionlessly.
Yan Wugou stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man: "Thanks to Ninth Elder's pill."
This middle-aged man, from the Nine Heavens Tower, was the Ninth Elder of the Heavenly Tower, a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak expert.
The reason he was able to break through this time was because the other party gave him a pill, which allowed him to break and then establish, stepping into the Dao Repository Realm in one go.
Ninth Elder said indifferently, "It's a pity that the soul body in your body was taken away. Otherwise, if the Tower Master were to devour it, the Tower Master would surely be able to advance further."
Yan Wugou mused, "As long as we find the Mysterious Person holding the ten thousand souls banner, we can also retrieve Elder Long's soul body, and there should be quite a few soul bodies in that ten thousand souls banner!"
A smile appeared on Ninth Elder's face: "That's natural. The ten thousand souls banner is a great killing weapon. It has devoured countless souls, and the Tower Master greatly needs those souls."
Yan Wugou looked at Ninth Elder and asked, "Does the Nine Heavens Tower have the confidence to find that person?"
Ninth Elder said confidently, "As long as he is still in Tianqi City, he cannot escape. For that person and the ten thousand souls banner, this time the Tower Master has sent two Divine Court Realm, three Dragon Transformation Realm Peak, and three Mystic Form experts."
Yan Wugou took a deep look at Ninth Elder, not expecting that the Nine Heavens Tower would dispatch such a large lineup this time.
It seemed that the Mysterious Person and the ten thousand souls banner were involved in something, definitely not as simple as Ninth Elder said!
"The Tianyin Hall matter?"
Yan Wugou asked.
Ninth Elder said lightly, "Resolve it together! This Elder will go and capture Lin Qinghuang to question her now. I want to see who has the guts to dare to touch the forces this Elder supports. As for that useless Xie Weilou, someone will naturally deal with him."
The Tianyin Hall was actually secretly supported by him. He didn't expect it to be destroyed by someone this time. If this matter wasn't resolved, it naturally wouldn't do.
"Then I can rest assured."
Yan Wugou bowed.
This time, with the appearance of the Nine Heavens Tower experts, Lin Qinghuang and Xie Weilou were sure to die.
Within the Great Xia territory, there were many strong individuals, but unfortunately, there were only a few in Tianqi City now. He wanted to see how the Imperial Preceptor and others would resist!
Ninth Elder put down his teacup and instantly disappeared from the hall.
"Come out!"
Yan Wugou spoke.
A woman in a white dress appeared in the hall, and she smiled charmingly: "This Nine Heavens Tower is not simple. Be careful not to be eaten until not even bones are left."
Yan Wugou glanced at the woman in the white dress: "Bargaining with demons also makes it easy to be devoured by demons!"
The woman in the white dress chuckled, "That won't happen. After all, your mother is a demon, and you have half demon blood flowing in your veins."
"......"
There was no ripple in Yan Wugou's eyes.
