Ji Tianzun, the Eternal God Emperor

Chapter 19
"Squeak!"

Ye Dongliu and Xiao Nanqin immediately looked towards the door.

The door opened slowly, and Zhang Ji, dressed in white clothes and spotless, slowly walked out of the house with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for guarding me all night."

"Ji'er, the power of heaven and earth just fluctuated...

Hey... your cultivation has reached the Xuanji realm? "Xiao Nanqin noticed the change in Zhang Ji's aura and said in surprise.

Zhang Ji knew that the fact that he had attracted the resonance of the gods could not be hidden from the two people who were waiting outside the house, so he simply said frankly: "Aunt, uncle, last night I was a blessing in disguise. I was lucky enough to reach the supreme realm of the Huangji Realm. The gods resonated, and they broke through to the Xuanji realm.

My breakthrough to the Supreme Realm is a top secret. If it is leaked out, the people who sent people to kill me last night will probably be more determined to kill me. I ask you two to keep it a secret for me. "

"Auntie will definitely keep her mouth shut and will never let the fourth person know about this matter."

Ye Dongliu just nodded, agreed to the matter, and then said: "The two female killers last night, their cultivation level is pretty good in the Xuanji realm, but they are so powerful to deal with you, a Huangji realm warrior. The killer, do you know who wants to kill you?"

Zhang Ji's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this. After showing off his skills in the year-end competition, he had already expected that the queen would send people to assassinate him, but he did not expect that in order to deal with him alone, three of the four major disciples under the queen's command would be dispatched.

If he hadn't asked Ye Dongliu and Xiao Nanqin to take turns guarding him secretly since the year-end competition just in case, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.

Even so, he was almost in danger. Thinking about it now, Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"I already know who wants to kill me. It's just that this person has a special status. I'm afraid my uncle and aunt won't be able to help. Let me resolve this matter myself."

……

At the gate of the palace, the Imperial Guards on duty were all a little tired at the moment. The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince were assassinated in the city last night. King Yunwu was furious. All the Imperial Guards searched the whole city last night. Naturally, they were exhausted after a night.

A Forbidden Army soldier opened his tired eyes and carefully observed the movement outside the city gate. Suddenly, a figure slowly walked towards the palace gate from a distance.

The figure wears a gold lace crown on his head, wears unicorn armor, and holds a tiger-patterned heaven-suppressing sword in his left hand. He walks like a dragon and steps like a tiger, showing a majestic momentum.

"Yes...it's His Highness the Eighth Prince. His Highness the Eighth Prince is back!"

Following the shouts of the Forbidden Army soldiers, the entire Forbidden Army at the city gate suddenly became restless. One of them immediately ran towards the palace and reported to Prince Yunwu as quickly as possible.

In the main hall of the palace, Prince Yunwu's anger remained. All the officials in the main hall were as silent as a cicada, no one dared to speak out.

The Ninth Prince Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Commander Yu Xi were both dressed in royal attire. They stood in the main hall, one with a cold face and the other with an anxious expression.

"Report, your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has returned to the palace!"

The soldiers who came to report the news had already reached the main hall before they arrived.

After hearing this, King Yunwu immediately stood up from the throne, looked at the soldiers who rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground, and asked: "Ba'er is back. Where is he? Is he injured?"

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has just entered the palace and is heading towards the main hall. My subordinates did not see any signs of injury on His Highness the Eighth Prince."

Prince Yunwu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. He regained his composure and said casually: "Go down and receive the reward!"

When Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Princess heard the news, their worries dissipated. Although Zhang Ji's body was not found at the assassination site, judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, there were traces of the Xuanji realm killer. Although Zhang Ruochen He has a very high opinion of Zhang Ji's strength, but he still has no idea whether he can defeat a Xuanji realm killer.

At this moment, Zhang Ji's figure slowly walked in from outside the main hall. He was wearing armor and carrying a sword, and he looked majestic and majestic. Even the officials present had to praise his domineering style in their hearts.

Zhang Ji passed the officials and walked under the high platform before stopping, bowing his hands and saying, "Greetings to my father!"

When Prince Yunwu saw his extraordinary appearance, he also praised him in his heart, but he asked: "It is taboo to bring a sword to the palace. Why is Baer doing this? Is it possible that there is anyone in this palace who dares to attack you?" Can’t do it?”

Zhang Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked around, and said loudly to Prince Yunwu: "If you want to return to your father, I will go to the palace with a sword. It is really out of necessity, because in this palace... murderous intent is everywhere!" "Bold!" ! Ba'er, why did you say this? If you don't come up with an explanation today, my father will punish you for the crime of disrespect." Prince Yunwu scolded sternly, but he did not stop Zhang Ji from continuing to speak. .

"Last night, my son, my ninth brother, and my ninth sister had a small gathering at Yunlou. Not long after they dispersed, they were assassinated in the royal city. Those who wanted to kill me did their job flawlessly. In order to deal with me, they actually sent many people. A master of the Xuanji Realm.

Fortunately, I have had some interactions with a senior from the Red Cloud Sect recently, and that senior happened to be passing by last night, so he rescued me. Otherwise, what my father would see right now would probably be my body.

The killers who came to kill me had poison buried in their bodies in advance. Once they were killed, their bodies would be gone. Those who sent people to kill me thought they were perfect, but unexpectedly I saw those killers before they died. true colors.

They are not killers, but maids beside the queen! "

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he looked at Prince Yunwu with burning eyes, waiting for his reaction.

The Prince of Yunwu County frowned when he heard this. He had already believed Zhang Ji's words. Before he could speak, one of the hundreds of officials came out. It was the national advisor Xue Jingtian. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen lives in a deep place In the palace, there is a wise wife of the king. How could he send someone to assassinate His Highness the Eighth Prince?

His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince must have misjudged the wrong person at the critical moment. According to Yi Weichen, this must be a sinister means by evil heretics to sow discord between the royal family. Your Majesty, you cannot trust it gullibly! "

Zhang Ji looked at the Imperial Preceptor and said coldly: "The Imperial Preceptor means that what I saw with my own eyes is a lie? A few living people will not disappear out of thin air. If the father doesn't believe it, he can send Someone go check to see if the maids around the Queen are still there!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Master's downcast face was filled with murderous intent.

Prince Yunwu also had cold eyes.

"come..."

"Your Majesty, my concubine has found out this matter!"

The Queen's voice came from outside the main hall. Everyone in the main hall looked towards the palace door. They saw the Queen wearing a phoenix robe, dignified and noble, and beside her was her personal maid Zhao Lin.

"Your Majesty, it was indeed my concubine's maids who assassinated the eighth prince last night, but it was not my concubine who arranged for them to do it.

After the news of the assassination of the eighth prince and the ninth prince came last night, I immediately discovered that the three maids around me had disappeared, and immediately arranged for Zhao Lin to search for them.

After some investigation, it was discovered that they were actually spies placed by the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult around the concubine, specifically looking for opportunities to sow discord among the royal family members.

My concubine did not know the person well and almost caused a disaster. Please punish me. "

After the queen said this, she immediately bowed her head and knelt down on the ground.

Zhao Lin beside her held several volumes in her hands and said respectfully to Prince Yunwu: "Your Majesty, this is the evidence that the servants found out overnight. The three of them, Yao and Su, secretly colluded with the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult. Please also ask me." The King Mingjian.”

Prince Yunwu snorted coldly, "Send it up!"

Zhao Lin handed the book to Ge Qian, the chief guard, who presented it to Prince Yunwu.

Prince Yunwu read the book from beginning to end, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

"boom!"

He slammed the book to the ground and said angrily: "The Moon Worshiping Demon Cult is so brave, they dare to try to alienate the royal family and assassinate the prince.

Ge Qian, pass on this king’s order to search the entire city for demons from the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. Once discovered, they will be killed on the spot! "

"The minister takes orders!"

Ge Qian took the order and left. King Yunwu turned his attention to the queen again and said: "The queen knows people poorly and almost caused a disaster. She will be fined for one year and grounded for three months. From now on, she needs to take good care of the people around her. Don't do it." Make this mistake again.”

The queen's body trembled slightly as she knelt on the ground, and she calmly replied: "Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty!"
