The dark night was deep, and the small courtyard where the chore room was located was silent. In one of the dark bedrooms, Bian Yao, who had been meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Although there was an error during the assassination process and the target character Duan Tianliang was not injured, in fact, this did not have much impact on the result that Bian Yao wanted. If the people in the palace were not fools, it would be easy to find that the person they were really going to assassinate was Duan Tianliang. Now only Jing waited for the palace to investigate the matter, and then suspected the identity of the "assin" on himself.

After thinking for a while, Bian Yao lay on the quilts stacked on the bedside and sighed repeatedly. This action was not smooth, and unexpected things happened one after another. It was okay to kill the wrong person before, but the purpose was achieved. In the original plan of Ye Zizi, relying solely on the mysterious dream that cannot be detected, it can ensure that he is valued by the Angry King. If there is no accident, Bian Yao will not reveal his ability to use the dream clone. This can be regarded as a means of saving his life or a very heavy bargaining chip! During the escape after the assassination, he originally planned to hide behind the rockery rock and escape from the sight of the guards, and then remove the dream clone. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, a guard general emerged from the sky, and a barrier would wipe out his plan.

However, Bian Yao knew very well that accidents were inevitable. When he sighed for a long time, he slowly calmed down and began to think carefully about what he had to face next.

Bian Yao couldn't guess what kind of action the royal palace would have, so he could only adapt to the situation. He decided to act as well as possible and to win over or advance the results of the incident to the original plan.

*********************

There is only one connecting door between the front and rear palaces of the Nur Prince's Mansion, but no one guards the only entrance and exit. Because if you want to enter the rear palace, you must hold a special jade plaque, otherwise it will be blocked by the trigger barrier set at the door, so there is no need to worry that someone will sneak into the rear palace from the front palace.

Qian Yu, the chief guard of the guard, is a mid-term dream king. He commands all the guards in the royal palace and is responsible for the security of the front palace. He directly obeys the orders of the King of Angry and obeys the orders of the first emperor of the palace to worship the Jade-faced Venerable. He has a special jade plaque that can be freely entered and exited the back palace. In addition, he also controls all the hidden barriers in the front palace and can control them at will.

Shortly after the "assin" escaped from the barrier, the deputy general manager of the escort arrived and directed his subordinates to search in the front palace. As for the general manager Qian Yu, after a short stay in the west guard, he hurriedly left the west guard alone and rushed towards the back palace.

When he arrived outside the Fengzun Hall, Qian Yu stopped, stood up and shouted respectfully to the door of the hall: "The guard chief Qian Yu, report to the Lord if you have any questions!"

Without hearing any sound from the hall, Qian Yu suddenly nodded and walked into the hall.

On the crystal stone floor at the end of the hall, there was a black stone futon. Under the reflection of the luminous stone, an old man with white face and black robe was sitting on it with his eyes closed and his eyes were meditating. The old man was naturally the first worshiper of the royal palace, the Jade-faced Venerable.

"Come to find me at this time, but what's the important thing?" asked the Jade-faced Venerable, his tone light and his eyes were not even opened.

"Report to Master! Assassin has just sneaked into the Western Guard. It is supposed to be to assassinate a guard named Duan Tianliang. However, when he fled to Yingyue Lake, I was trapped by me with a barrier, and found that it was just a dream clone." Qian Yu lowered his head slightly and replied slowly.

Hearing the words of the guard general, the Jade-faced Venerable slowly opened his eyes, "Someone used his dream clone to sneak into the prince's mansion to assassinate a guard? This is really strange! How many people died?"

"Only one person was seriously injured and had no worries about his life! I had asked the guard about the situation. At that time, Duan Tianliang and another guard were drinking in his room. After hearing someone knocking on the door, the guard got up and opened the door. Unexpectedly, the door was half a foot open and was stabbed in the chest by a sudden sword. Fortunately, it did not touch the vital point and saved his life! Because Duan Tianliang lives in that room, and the stabbed guard just went to drink by chance, I guess the person the assassin was originally going to kill was Duan Tianliang."

"It is already strange that a dream king uses his clone to sneak into the palace to assassinate a guard. As a result, the assassination operation failed, which is even more unusual! Since you have seen that assassin, which stage do you think he is in the realm of the dream king?" The Jade-faced Venerable laughed strangely, and the pale old face showed a bit of playfulness.

"Please be honest! I think that assassin is not the clone of a dream king! According to the chasing guards, whether it is the speed of escape or the body movement, he cannot be a dream king. At most, he only has the state of early dream crazy! And from his voice, he doesn't seem to be old, and he will never be over twenty years old!" The tone of the guard manager sounded a bit strange, as if he was a little suspicious of what he said.

The Jade-faced Venerable raised his eyebrows and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "The sound is not true. The person may have deliberately changed his voice to confuse you and achieve his ulterior motive. With your current state of cultivation, if you use your dream clone, how long can it last?"

"Even if the spiritual power of the body is exhausted, it will last less than an hour, and it will last for three hours at most." Qian Yu was stunned after answering, and then hesitated: "What does the Venerable mean?"

"Although there are a very small number of people who can condense dream clones in the realm of Dream Crazy, none of them can maintain the existence of the clone for more than a hundred breaths. So for Dream Crazy, even if you learn the clone technique, it has no effect. Just like the eldest prince, although he can also condense the dream clones, it can only support about forty breaths. The dream clone technique is actually only useful for dream cultivators at the level of Dream King and above. However, even the early stage Dream King can only maintain the clone for about a quarter of an hour."

Speaking of this, the Jade-faced Venerable sneered, stood up from the cushion, and said, "Let me ask you, even if the assassin's body is outside the gate of the palace, starting from the time he sneaked into the palace, until he had to remove his clone after being trapped by you, how long will it take?"

"This..." The guard general thought for a while and said, "A rough calculation, it will take at least five minutes, and it may be more than that! Although he was still covering his face when he was trapped by the barrier, I did not see any signs of spiritual power in his words and eyes until he was lifted. But if he was really a dream king's clone, then his speed when he escaped was too slow. Could it be that he hid his true cultivation and deliberately slowed his speed when he escaped? It seems that there is no reason at all, and there is no need to do so."

"Has Duan Tianliang offended someone outside? Or did he do something that is unforgivable and unforgivable?"

"It shouldn't be. These guards have never had the chance to leave the palace almost a year. Even if they go out to do business occasionally, they are not alone. If there is any situation, I will definitely know."

After listening to the answer from the escort general, the Jade-faced Venerable kept silent, walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, turned his head and said, "No matter whether Duan Tianliang has really done anything extremely evil or who has offended anyone outside. Suppose the assassin sneaked into the royal palace to kill Duan Tianliang, how did he know which room Duan Tianliang lives in? Have you ever thought about this? Maybe the assassin just picked someone casually, and the room where Duan Tianliang lived was selected, which is also possible."

Qian Yu's expression was slightly stagnant, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe that assassin is a person in the palace, so he has a way to know Duan Tianliang's bedroom. The assassin has been covering his face with black cloth, maybe because he is afraid of being recognized. Could it be that the two worshippers who have just recruited into the palace..."

"No! I have been staring at the two of them. After they became worshipers, they have been buried in the worship courtyard to practice, occasionally discussing with others and exchanging experiences. In the barrier network I set up, no one can avoid my awareness and leave the worship courtyard secretly!" The Jade-faced Venerable said coldly, with a hint of arrogant appearance on his pale face, as if he was very unhappy with the questioning of the guard general.

"Anyway, this incident happened a bit coincidental, only one month before the Spring Festival. Since the two new entourages were ruled out, there is another possibility that among the newly recruited servants, some may have used the secret technique of hiding dreams to avoid Mr. Liu's exploration."

"That's impossible! As far as I know, there are only one hand to count the secret techniques that can hide dreams on the entire Dream Immortal Continent, and those secret techniques only exist in rumors." The Jade-faced Venerable denied the guess of the guard general in a few words.

Qian Yu hesitated for a while, lowered his head and said, "This kind of thing has never happened before, and it is obviously strange. Is it necessary to let the prince know about this as soon as possible?"

"Why do you want the prince to know? I have your own judgment?" The Jade-faced Venerable suddenly shook his sleeves, sat back on the cushion, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is full of doubts! It is not clear that the real purpose of the assassin is yet to be clear, so there is no need to disturb the prince's retreat. In case of precautions, I will stay in the back house. You can do a detailed investigation first! If you have any doubts or suspicious people, inform me in time."

"As for your order! I will leave!" Qian Yu no longer hesitated, bowed to the Jade-faced Venerable, turned around and left the Fengzun Hall.
