In Wanyan Xia Rong's expression of despair, the knife in the hand of the man in gray robe stabbed into his chest.
Blood instantly flowed out from Wanyan Xia Rong's chest.
"ah!"
Wanyan Xiarong screamed and started calling for help.
"Help, there's a murderer, come quickly!"
Wanyan Xiarong roared loudly, it was already this time, and in his mind he was still imagining that someone would come to save him.
What made him feel desperate was that no one came after he shouted for a long time.
Feeling the constant loss of vitality in her body, Wanyan Xiarong's heart was finally filled with fear.
With a plop, he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged the man in gray robe for mercy.
"Sir, please let me go. As long as you let me go, I can give you all my treasures!"
Hearing Wanyan Xiarong's words, the man in gray robe was unmoved, but said with a cold face: "Remember, in the next life, don't threaten others casually, now, die!"
As soon as the word "death" came out, the man in gray robe suddenly pulled out the big knife from Wanyan Xia Rong's chest, and then stabbed Wanyan Xia Rong's heart with the knife.
"Well……"
Under the severe pain, Wanyan Xiarong wanted to roar, but he no longer had the strength to make a sound.
Blood gurgled out from the corner of his mouth, his pupils began to dilate, and his face became increasingly pale.
Not long after, Wanyan Xiarong completely disappeared.
After a moment, a ray of Nascent Soul floated out from Wanyan Xia Rong's body.
After Nascent Soul left the body, he wanted to escape, but was instantly caught in the hands of the man in gray robe.
There was despair in Wanyan Xia Rong's eyes. Although the gray robe had killed his physical body just now, as long as the Nascent Soul was around, he was not dead in the true sense. As long as he condensed another physical body, he could be resurrected.
But if the Nascent Soul is annihilated, he will be completely dead.
An endless despair and panic appeared in Wanyan Xiarong's eyes.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but the man in gray robe didn't give him that chance at all.
The man in gray robe used his majestic spiritual power to instantly erase Wanyan Xiarong Yuanying's consciousness.
"The Nascent Soul of the monk in the Kong Ming Stage is a great tonic, so it cannot be wasted."
The hoarse voice of the man in gray robe floated out in the cell. He collected the unconscious Nascent Soul, then turned and left.
Time passes and the night passes quickly.
The next morning.
It's another new day. After a deserted night, the royal city has become lively again. The streets and alleys are full of people running around for a living.
Zhang Yifeng, Xu Nantian and others had breakfast and were about to go for a stroll in the city. After all, the results of Wanyan Xia Rong's trial had not come out yet, so they would not be able to leave for a while.
But when they just arrived at the gate of the other courtyard, a palace servant came over in a hurry.
"Master Zhao, why are you here?"
Qiu Lin saw the chamberlain coming towards him and took the initiative to greet him.
The chamberlain walked up to Qiu Lin, with a wry smile on his lips, and said, "Qiu Hou, I'm here in such a hurry because I have something important to tell you."
"Is it important?"
Qiu Lin asked with confusion: "What's the important matter?"
The chamberlain took a deep breath and said: "Ping Luan Hou is dead."
"What!"
The words of the chamberlain were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhang Yifeng and others stunned.
After a while, Zhang Yifeng was the first to come to his senses. He walked quickly to the chamberlain and asked in a cold voice: "What happened? How did Wanyan Xia Rong die?"
The chamberlain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "I don't know either. Early this morning, Mr. Zhou from the Department of Law hurried to the palace. He told Your Majesty that the Marquis of Pingluan was killed last night."
"Your Majesty specifically asked me to inform you and the two princes."
After hearing what the chamberlain said, Zhang Yifeng frowned tightly.
Although he also wanted Wanyan Xiarong to die, his opponent was still a little dissatisfied in his heart because the king of Dali had not given him an explanation yet.
"Could it be that the king of Dali sent someone to kill Wanyan Xiarong?"
Just when Zhang Yifeng was secretly guessing the cause of Wanyan Xiarong's death, Qiu Lin suddenly spoke.
"The dungeon of the Department of Law is heavily guarded. Even a master from the Kong Ming Period would find it very difficult to break in. Wanyan Xia Rong is locked up there. How can anyone kill him?"
Hearing this, the chamberlain gave a bitter smile and said, "You are right, Lord Qiu. The death of Lord Pingluan is so strange. Your Majesty has already asked Mr. Zhou to conduct a strict investigation."
Hearing the words of the chamberlain, Zhang Yifeng's heart moved and he asked the chamberlain: "The Lord Zhou you are talking about, are you Zhou Tong?"
The chamberlain nodded and said: "The Department of Law is under the control of Lord Zhou. If something like this happened, Lord Zhou will naturally investigate everything." At this point, the chamberlain paused and continued: "Your Majesty asked me to tell you.
Several people, now that Ping Luan Hou is dead, he can be considered as having an explanation to Xu Hou."
"If nothing happens to you, please leave the royal city as soon as possible."
leave?
Zhang Yifeng frowned, King Dali had issued an eviction order.
"Maybe something big will happen in the royal city. Maybe even King Dali can't control what's about to happen."
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yifeng suddenly had the idea of staying.
He wanted to see what would happen.
Moreover, although Wanyan Xia Rong is dead, he must find out who killed Wanyan Xia Rong. That Zhou Tong is the best breakthrough point.
After the waiter finished speaking, he left.
After the chamberlain left, Qiu Lin glanced at Zhang Yifeng and Xu Nantian and said, "Wanyan Xiarong is also dead now. Our visit to the royal city has been a great success. Shall we leave now?"
Xu Nantian thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Yifeng: "Feng'er, what do you think?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Father, Qiuhou, please leave first. I still have some things to complete. When the things are finished, I will return to Potian City to find you."
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Xu Nantian shook his head and said: "I have a vague feeling that a huge danger is brewing in the royal city. I can't let you stay in the royal city alone."
Qiu Lin also said: "My dear nephew, Brother Xu is right. We can't let you stay here alone. You should come with us to avoid any accidents."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head and said: "Uncle Qiu, I won't go back after searching. My adoptive father has just resumed his position. There must be many things that need to be dealt with by my adoptive father. You can go back with your adoptive father. As for the danger."
Zhang Yifeng smiled and continued: "With Hong Ling here, no one can hurt me even if the sky falls, so you can leave with peace of mind."
After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, Qiu Lin and Xu Nantian were silent for a long time. Finally, under Zhang Yifeng's sincere persuasion, they agreed to leave the royal city first.
