I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Zhao Zian placed Xiaobai on the ground.

"Go find that smell, take us there."

Xiao Bai looked at Zhao Zi'an, its tail pointing in one direction.

Zhang Jing watched in stunned silence.

The worldview he had built up over thirty years of life was shattered tonight.

"Keep up."

Zhao Zian said something to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing hurriedly followed.

Night had fallen, and the streets of Liuxi Town were nearly deserted.

Xiaobai led the way.

It would occasionally stop, twitch its nose, and try to find its way.

This road...

The more Zhang Jing walked, the more familiar it felt.

"Brother Zhao, the best in town, the Yuelai Inn, is just ahead."

"Those who can live there are either rich or powerful. Would the murderer be hiding in a place like that?"

"The more crowded the place, the better it is to hide."

Zhao Zian did not stop.

Xiao Bai stopped outside the back wall of Yuelai Inn.

It let out a low growl directed at a window on the second floor.

That's it.

Zhao Zian climbed onto the eaves of the Yuelai Inn in a few leaps.

He lifted a tile and peered into the gap.

Calming incense was lit in the room.

On the large bed, a richly dressed young man was fast asleep.

It was Wang Jingtian, the eldest son of the Wang family of the county town.

Zhao Zian's heart sank.

Sure enough it was him.

The source of the spiritual remnants that Xiaobai was tracking was this room, and this person.

Why would a noble young master from a county town kill a local bully?

Can't figure it out.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of his eye.

He's an assassin!

The assassin's target... was Wang Jingtian in bed!

The man in black raised his short blade and aimed it at Wang Jingtian's heart!

But Wang Jingtian, lying on the bed, still kept his eyes closed.

Something's not right!

Even the deepest sleeper should be able to sense murderous intent.

His coma was extraordinary!

Zhao Zian looked at the short blade, which carried the aura of a fire elemental root.

Damn it, there's a mistake!

Wang Jingtian was not the murderer at all; he was prey in the eyes of others!

Saving lives is the priority!

He poured all his strength into it and kicked the tile under his feet!

It landed between the black-clad assassin and Wang Jingtian.

He parried the assassin's short blade with his arm, leaving a bloody gash on his forearm.

Zhao Zian used the momentum to kick the assassin in the waist and abdomen.

The black-clad assassin was kicked and staggered back two steps.

He steadied himself and pounced again.

"Holy shit!"

They've really messed up!

This guy's cultivation level is far above mine!

The assassin's short blade was cunning and ruthless, each strike aimed at Zhao Zi'an's vital points.

Zhao Zian mobilized the spiritual energy within his body and poured it into his arms, barely managing to withstand the attack.

But with each block, his arms went numb and his thumbs split open.

He was completely suppressed!

The assassins gave him no chance to breathe, wave after wave.

Zhao Zian stumbled.

The assassin seized this opening and thrust his short blade straight for his throat!

"It's so noisy."

The sound made the assassin freeze in place.

Zhao Zian narrowly avoided a fatal blow.

He and the assassin looked in the direction of the sound.

The young man in brocade robes, who should have been fast asleep on the bed, sat up.

"Is it you?"

Wang Jingtian first looked at Zhao Zian.

When the assassin is seen.

"It's you rats from the gutter again."

"They're really courting death."

When the assassin in black saw Wang Jingtian wake up, he flipped his wrist and crushed the sphere.

Black smoke instantly filled the room.

When the black smoke dissipated, the assassin in black had already vanished without a trace.

"You, come here."

Wang Jingtian waved to Zhao Zian.

Zhao Zian looked at him warily.

This guy feels even more dangerous than that assassin.

"You saved me."

Wang Jingtian pointed to Zhao Zian's wound.

"Although you were stupid to fall off the roof and almost hit me, it turned out well. So, I won't kill you."

"My name is Wang Jingtian."

He introduced himself.

"And you? Why did you save me?"

Zhao Zian frowned but did not answer.

The situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

The person who killed him was a highly skilled cultivator.

Wang Jingtian himself seems even more unfathomable.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

"Young Master!"

"Young master, are you alright?"

The door was kicked open from the outside.

These were Wang Jingtian's two henchmen, Quan Bo and Gui Bo.

When their gaze fell upon Zhao Zian.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you injure my young master!"

Quan Bo reached out and grabbed Zhao Zi'an's crown.

This claw strike was so fast that Zhao Zian couldn't react at all!

Grass!

dying!

Zhao Zian felt a chill run down his spine.

"stop."

Wang Jingtian spoke calmly.

The eagle's talon stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Quan Bo and Gui Bo bowed at the same time.

"Young master."

"He is not an assassin."

Wang Jingtian pointed at Zhao Zian.

"He is... my savior."

The two exchanged a glance and withdrew their murderous intent.

"Young master, what exactly is going on?"

"Uncle Gui asked."

"A mouse has sneaked in."

Wang Jingtian got out of bed and stepped barefoot onto the floor.

"Don't think that just because you saved me, you're no longer a suspect."

In his view, there are no coincidences without a reason in this world.

He had seen this kind of tactic far too often in the powerful families of the county town.

Zhao Zian almost laughed in anger upon hearing this.

damn it.

I kindly saved you, and I still have a bruise on my arm, the bleeding hasn't stopped yet, and you're trying to pull this on me?

"If you have time, you might as well go to Jishetang to have your brain checked."

"Dr. Wang is highly skilled and specializes in treating all kinds of brain diseases. If it's too late, there might be no hope."

Quan Bo and Gui Bo's expressions changed drastically.

Bold!

presumptuous!

In Willow Creek Town, no, even in the entire county town, no one has ever dared to speak to the young master of the Wang family in such a tone!

That's suicide!

Wang Jingtian was slightly taken aback.

The other person would be so blunt and so vulgar... calling him sick.

Zhao Zian was too lazy to argue with this group of lunatics any longer.

He flipped over and jumped out of the window he had come from.

"Young master, shall we pursue them?"

Gui Bo appeared beside him.

Wang Jingtian walked to the window.

"No need."

"Someone who dares to insult me ​​and then runs away right under my nose...that's really interesting."

Uncle Quan and Uncle Gui exchanged a glance.

They had followed the young master for many years and knew his temperament well.

Cold-blooded, suspicious, and disregards human life.

Anyone who disrespects him will only meet one fate: death.

But today, this country boy whose name you can't recall is not only alive, but has also piqued the young master's interest.

"Young master, this man's origins are unknown, and his actions are suspicious. What if he's an accomplice of the assassin..."

Uncle Quan was still worried.

"Accomplices?"

Wang Jingtian chuckled softly.

"Have you ever seen an accomplice who would risk his life to act? The meager spiritual power he possesses isn't even worthy of carrying your or my shoes. If he hadn't truly wanted to save me, he would already be dead from that assassin's stab."

"Then why did he...?"

Even Gui Bo couldn't figure it out.

"check."

Wang Jingtian turned around.

"The assassin of tonight."

"Follow the clues and drag out all the bedbugs in the ditch behind them."

"Yes, young master!"
