The architectural structure of the Lihua Palace is very ingenious. It contains countless secrets of plum blossoms. It is connected vertically and horizontally, but it does not appear cramped and stingy. The people who built it also put in a lot of effort.
Feng Ziyue was behind Su Wuhua and others. There were innate masters around, so he didn't dare to get too close. He just relied on the special ability of Taixuan Sensing Chapter to follow them from a distance.
Everywhere he passed, he kept it in mind.
There is a long way to go to destroy Lihua Palace. The first step is to get familiar with the environment inside the palace. This was also his original plan. Now with Su Wuhua leading the way, he can directly enter the core of the palace, which is exactly what he wants.
Mind.
After passing through two palace walls, passing through a three-story courtyard, and passing through a long courtyard with oil lamps on both walls, they arrived at the inner palace of Lihua Palace. Feng Ziyue saw Su Wuhua rushing in angrily,
Smiling slightly, he turned sideways to the corridor under the eaves and eavesdropped on what was going on inside.
Ji Mu frowned, feeling doubtful in his heart.
His son Ji Sansi was injured and rushed all the way back to Lihua Palace. Unexpectedly, the injury became more and more serious. Now it seems that he will never be a man again!
According to what he said about the injury, he was fighting against a descendant of a secular family, and he was actually cut off by a sword to destroy the dual cultivator of wheel rotation. Even he and his mysterious pet Lotus and Golden Leopard were seriously injured, and the other party publicly humiliated Lihua Palace.
Martial arts made Ji Sansi lose face, so he rushed back to Lihua Palace without stopping.
Who is Feng Ziyue, the descendant of this secular family?
What ability does he have that he can defeat Ji Sansi, the son of the peak martial artist, with one sword?
Why did he not only humiliate his son, but also humiliate Lihua Palace's martial arts? Isn't he afraid of himself, an innate master?
Or is he confident?
Now that the Tianwu Trial is about to begin, for secular people, it is just a pass to go to Canglan Mountain, the holy land of martial arts, or in other words, an opportunity for those in the Xiantian Secret Realm.
But for those of them who know the inside story, they know that the key to the Tianwu trial is actually the competition among the disciples of the innate secret realm, which is related to the big secret of Canglan Mountain - whether other disciples of the innate secret realm are fighting for the first
Pretending to hurt Ji Sansi just for the sake of aggression?
But...this is also impossible.
Although the son is incompetent, he is still at the peak of martial arts. If you want to defeat him with one sword, you must be very familiar with the martial arts of Lihua Palace. Otherwise, it will be necessary for an innate master to defeat skill with force. But once a disciple enters the innate realm, he cannot
Participating in the Tianwu Trial is also an ironclad rule.
Ji Mu's face looked uncertain, but he couldn't figure out the key point.
At this time, the Great Elder Su Wuhua rushed in angrily, "Junior Brother Ji, look at the good things your son has done!"
He threw the bodies of the two apprentices in front of Ji Mu, and with a sharp look on his face, he scolded the palace master. He was the only one in the Lihua Palace who could avoid selling the palace master's account, Ji Mu.
Ji Mu frowned, "What's going on?"
"What's going on? You have the nerve to ask what's going on?" Su Wuhua was furious, "I'm not your good son. He offended his enemy and was only injured half to death. He also led his enemy to the palace and killed him.
My two apprentices!"
At this time, the two disciples holding the heads also presented the heads. Ji Mu recognized them and was surprised.
"Huo Ping, Lu He? Why did these two people die?"
Huo Ping's strength is still higher than that of Ji Sansi, and he is considered the best among the second generation disciples. Although he has been lukewarm towards Huoping in order to favor his son Ji Sansi, after all, this person is also
How could one of the future pillars of Lihua Palace die like this?
"Palace Master, we just found the bodies of the two people guarding the palace gate. I am afraid that someone has sneaked into the Lihua Palace, and while Senior Brother Huo and Senior Brother Lu were practicing the Great Sunlight Happy Zen in the back garden, they attacked them secretly.
They kill..."
"The Great Sunlight Joyful Zen Technique?" Ji Mu frowned again, feeling disdainful in his heart. These two disciples clearly committed prostitution during the day and gave others the opportunity to take advantage of it. The Great Sunlight Joyful Zen Technique should not be practiced in a light-leak quiet room.
, if you insist on running to the back garden, then you are not killing yourself.
However, no outsiders entered the Lihua Palace, so it was possible for them to lose caution.
Now it seems that someone really sneaked into the palace.
"Senior Brother, are you saying that someone followed Si'er and sneaked into the valley? It's just..." He pondered for a long time, "Outside the Lihua Palace, there is a ten-mile Lihua Xuanzhen guarding it. It is unpredictable. How could that person touch it?
Come in?"
Su Wuhua was stunned for a moment. This Lihua Xuan Formation was very magical. Even among the people in Lihua Palace, only a few people who studied the formation knew all the changes. Others only knew the steps in and out of the formation.
It’s just a move, how can outsiders sneak in?
"Hmph, maybe the person your son has offended is an expert in formations?" Although he thought so, he refused to show weakness, "No matter what, think twice and you will know as soon as you ask!"
Ji Mu pondered for a long time and then nodded. Ji Sansi was currently resting in bed, but the situation was serious. Although he felt sorry for his son, he still wanted to ask clearly. If someone really sneaked into Lihua Palace to kill someone, he must do it as soon as possible.
Just find out.
He asked a disciple to go to the bedroom to bring Ji Sansi, while he walked down and inspected the bodies of Huo Ping and Lu He.
"Beheading with one sword, this person's methods are really ruthless..."
Ji Mu looked at the wound on his neck, stood up, and sighed, "Other than that, there are no other traces of any action. It seems that it was indeed caused by a sneak attack - but this man's kung fu, at least, is not as good as Huo's."
Otherwise, we would never be able to kill two people with one sword, and the second person would have no time to react..."
This shows that the speed of this sword has exceeded the reaction time of the second person. Even if the killer killed Huo Ping first, with Lu He's martial arts cultivation, he would be able to react in about an instant, and he could not even take the basic defensive posture.
Before he showed it, that is, he had been chopped off by the second sword without even realizing it.
"If it's just a martial artist, what do I have to worry about?"
Su Wuhua shook her head and looked at Ji Mu with evil intentions, "I'm afraid that your son might offend an innate master. Otherwise, he would have sneaked into Lihua Palace without being noticed by you or me.
, do you think it’s possible?”
Innate masters can sense the world. Generally speaking, the movements within a hundred feet around them cannot be hidden from their ears and eyes. If others can hide their figure under their noses, it will be unless they are also innate masters and can hide their traces.
It's just that Feng Ziyue's Taixuan Sensing Chapter has a unique skill. His ability to sense the world, blend into the world, remain invisible, and sense crises is actually stronger than these two innate masters. So even though they are outside the window, both of them are actually...
Didn't notice.
Hearing what Su Wuhua said, Ji Mu couldn't help but darken his face. Of course he knew that Su Wuhua's main purpose was to attack his power, but his words were not unreasonable. If there really was an innate master sneaking into Lihua Palace
Making trouble is no small matter, so you have to deal with it carefully.
At this time, the weak Ji Sansi was also brought here. He was lying on a bed board, unable to move. His whole body was in severe pain, but it could not be relieved. Feng Ziyue had already been cursed to death in his heart.
Feng Ziyue's sword slashed him, and although he immediately fell to the ground seriously injured, he felt that it was just a flesh injury and that he would recover in a few days. He said that he rushed back to Lihua Palace for treatment, but it was really because Wuyan could no longer
Stay in Wuyang City and complain to your father again, hoping that he will take revenge and let this kid Feng Ziyue die without a burial place.
Who would have thought that after just one day of riding in the carriage, the sword energy in a meridian exploded, and the original external injury turned into an internal injury. Ji Sansi continued to vomit blood, and only then did he realize the viciousness of Feng Ziyue. In the following days, several injuries occurred one after another.
The sword energy hidden in his meridians exploded, causing him unspeakable pain.
On the fifth day, the last sword energy in the kidney energy exploded, destroying the yang kidney. Ji Sansi was in agony and extremely frightened.
Fortunately, at this time, he had returned to the Lihua Palace. When he saw his father, he burst into tears and washed his face with tears. He was such a handsome young man, and became like a soft-skinned insect.
At this moment, his father called him into the hall. He didn't know what was going on. When he saw the serious look on the elder's face and the two headless corpses on the ground, he was frightened out of his wits.
"Dad... Great Elder, what... is going on?"
"What's going on?" Su Wuhua's eyes widened, "I was about to ask you! Who did you offend and killed my two disciples?"
"What?" Ji Sansi was trembling all over and his face was pale. What he was most afraid of now was Feng Ziyue. When Su Wuhua said this, he thought it was Feng Ziyue who broke into the Lihua Palace and killed two disciples, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
dripping, "He...he's here again! Devil! Devil!"
He was lying on the bed, waving his hands in vain. Ji Mu quickly came up, held his son's hands, and calmed his injuries with mysterious energy while speaking comforting words.
"Si'er, don't be afraid. We just found out that two disciples in the palace were killed. Because it happened just after you came back, we were worried that you would be implicated, so we asked you to think about it. What happened along the way?
Who have you offended?"
"Who did you offend?"
Ji Sansi recalled that he went out in a hurry this time. Except for picking up Guan Zhongliu who was also going to Wuyang City, he didn't stop anywhere at all. When he arrived at Wuyang City, he had a conflict with Feng Ziyue and was immediately injured.
And back.
If he offended anyone, it was only Feng Ziyue.
"Dad, only...only Feng...Feng...him!"
When he closed his eyes, he could see Feng Ziyue's terrifying and sharp sword, and Feng Ziyue's indifferent smile, in his eyes, was more terrifying than the devil. He didn't even dare to mention Feng Ziyue's name.
It can only be vaguely replaced by his name.
"Only the boy named Feng?"
Ji Mu frowned and turned to look at Su Wuhua, "Senior brother, we have also inquired about this matter. The boy named Feng is just a martial master and a secular warrior. He should not be able to break through.
After leaving the Hua Xuan Formation and entering the palace, even if I sneak into the palace, there is no reason why I would be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of you and me."
"In my opinion, there may be something weird about this matter..."
"Is there something else weird?" Su Wuhua snorted, "Who in the entire Lihua Palace would want to kill Ping'er? Could it be that some people are worried that their son will not be able to hold up the wall, so they want to kill all of us, Changmen,
!”
If it wasn't done by outsiders, Su Wuhua's first suspect would be Ji Mu's subordinates.
Originally, if Ji Sansi had not become an eunuch, he would naturally inherit the mantle of Lihua Palace. Even if Huo Ping had a higher level of cultivation, there would be no hope. But Ji Sansi lost his male roots, and most of the dual cultivation methods could not be practiced.
Xi, then he would naturally lose the hope of succeeding as the master of Lihua Palace - in contrast, Huo Ping's hope has greatly increased.
If Ji Mu wants to pass on the position of palace master to his subordinates, the first person to get rid of is Huo Ping.
Ji Mu smiled bitterly. He really didn't have this idea, but Ji Sansi had just come back and he didn't know if it could be cured. How could he have the heart to think so much?
"Senior brother, our sect may be facing a big crisis now. You and I, brothers, should unite sincerely and avoid suspicion..."
Su Wuhua snorted coldly and murmured to herself, "With what you have done in the past, it is really not easy for me to believe you."
However, he also knows that the truth is still unclear. If there is really an outsider causing trouble in Lihua Palace, then this person is elusive and elusive, so he must be careful.
"I'm reluctant to believe you once, but you have to catch this person as soon as possible and give me an explanation, Nagato. I can't let these two good disciples of mine die unjustly!"
"That's natural!" Ji Mu nodded and ordered loudly.
"Here's the order. From now on, the main entrance and the side entrance will be closed tightly. Entry and exit are prohibited. All passages in the palace will be guarded by disciples. Then four elders will lead the protectors to search every place in Lihua Palace. Even if they are one
A fly has slipped in, I have to find him!"
"yes!"
The people below agreed and went about their own business.
When Feng Ziyue heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Su Wuhua and Ji Mu didn't trust each other, which could be exploited. He saw a group of disciples running out, knowing that it was inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so he gently
Retreat, run away.
In the following days, Lihua Palace began to be filled with panic. Searches and patrols were conducted every day, but nothing was found.
On the contrary, more and more people are dying.
On the second day, two disciples who were practicing the art of harvesting in a quiet room were killed. A sword penetrated their hearts. They died together, and Ding Lu was also killed.
On the third day, the four disciples guarding the passages inside and outside the palace were killed together, their throats cut with a sword, and they didn't even have time to issue a warning.
On the fourth day, the elder guarding the alchemy room and two disciples were killed, and all kinds of aphrodisiacs and tonics were mixed into a pile and smashed, which could no longer be used.
On the sixth day, an elder and a protector who were patrolling and searching were killed, leaving traces of the struggle. However, when others arrived, they saw the two of them lying in a pool of blood with swords between their eyebrows.
The killer has long since disappeared.
On the seventh day, Ji Sansi woke up from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat, and shouted, "It's him! It's him! He's here again!"
When he sat down and found no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief. His clothes were wet with sweat. He was about to call the servants to help him change clothes, but he heard a very familiar chuckle.
"Palace Master Ji, was the person in your nightmare just now me?"
