Chapter 33: The Night Before the Capital (Part 1)

level officials were very satisfied. They didn't care too much about the rankings of the competition, what they cared about was having as many five-order cultivators as possible, and whether there wer...Blood Rain World, Imperial Capital 。

On a grand flower-adorned barge, tonight there is only one distinguished guest. 。On the top deck of a magnificent vessel, a slender man with an eight-character mustache wore a smooth silk robe as he sat cross-legged in the main seat, sipping wine contentedly. 。Beside him was only a white-haired old man. The old man sat cross-legged, his breath completely concealed. 。Based on my estimation, tonight the Black Lotus Sect should encounter our esteemed Sir Fei's family convoy. 。“The thin man stroked his beard, his eyes full of anticipation. ‘I really can’t wait to see the look on Lord Fei’s face when he knows that his only two relatives in the world have died! It must be a wonderful and interesting expression!’

The old man remained silent.” 。"Liu Shi, don't you think I'm being too much" the thin man looked at the white-haired old man. 。"Might makes right, the Black Lotus Sect sent enough strong individuals to devour Lord Fei's relatives. It's only natural." 。"An old man with white hair said, 'Nothing is too much.'" 。“I envy Master Liu's state of mind, no matter when or where, no matter what happens, he can remain as calm as a mountain.” 。"The king needs to cultivate his mind. If one wants to achieve great success in martial arts, one must first have a strong mind." 。The white-haired old man said, “If one’s heart isn’t strong enough, how can they perfectly control their physical body”

“I can’t.” 。The thin man shook his head, “After practicing for so many years, with so many masters, and even with Master Liu teaching me, I’m still only at a third-rate level.” 。And in this world, there's more than just martial arts. There are even more interesting things. 。Life is short, only a hundred years. It's natural to find things more interesting to do. 。The gaunt man had a strange gleam in his eyes, and he drained the cup of wine. 。Though Mingming had hired a decorated pleasure boat, he turned away all the beautiful women. This is the capriciousness of 'King Qi'. 。"Giddy up, Giddy up" 。In the darkness, numerous Blood Rain Guards were escorting their leader through the night on horseback. Their leader was a young man in black robes with a cold and stern face. An invisible chill emanated from him, causing his subordinates to tremble with fear. 。They all knew their master was in a bad mood right now. 。"Sir, Master Wang and the others, with three horses each, should be able to catch up." 。"The old man with white hair beside him said" 。Master Wang and his men chose only the finest steeds, traveling light. They are likely two hundred li ahead of us by now and should reach Lord Fei's location first. 。Another burly man also said 。

The youth in black rode his horse, silent as death, his chill intensifying. 。If...

If both father and sister were dead...

The Imperial City, would definitely have many people die! All the people I suspect, all would have to die!

"These lunatics from the Black Lotus Sect aren't afraid of me!" The young man in black whispered, "There must be someone behind this, using these lunatics from the Black Lotus Sect" 。"Once I find out who's behind this, Fei Qing will definitely make you pay. You'll know the consequences of crossing Fei Qing!" The young man in black was burning with rage. He had indeed arranged for enough guards to protect his father and sister's team. 。In the eastern territories of the empire, he was confident. That was his domain, where his power reigned supreme. He believed his father and sister would be safe there. 。

Unable to leave the Eastern Region, he wasn't confident, so in Tiezhong City he arranged a second wave of people. He believed that with such a guard force, protecting one elder and one youth would be enough. 。Although there are power struggles within the imperial court, there is an unspoken rule: harm to a person extends to their family! After defeating an opponent, their family will naturally suffer as their influence wanes. There's no need to preemptively attack and assassinate their relatives – such actions are uncivilized and would leave many feeling insecure. 。

It is a general principle that harm does not spare one's family. 。But in the world, there are always some people who don't follow the unspoken rules! Fei Qing has too many enemies, and this time an enemy made a move against him. 。At night, the Fei family's convoy arrived at a wild inn called 'Xianghe Inn'. 。"We'll spend the night at the inn tonight, and tomorrow we'll make a beeline for the Imperial City." 。“Butler Zhang spoke to the guards,” 。

"Good" 。The guards dismounted and began to enter the inn. 。This Xianghe Guest House is quite large and has a good number of staff. 。Nowadays, those who can open inns in the wilderness are quite capable. 。When the Fei family caravan produced a Hei Xue Ling (Black Blood Order) from the Blood Rain Guard, this inn immediately cooperated very well, even helping to coordinate and get other guests to give up their rooms to ensure that the Fei family caravan got the rooms they wanted. 。。Xu Jingming shared a room with two other guards. After all, he was one of the few first-rate masters in the team and slept on the bed. 。The other two members of the Blood Rain Guard were second-rate experts, who simply laid out a makeshift bed on the ground. 。"Once we reach the imperial capital, things will be much easier." 。"

We'll just make do with it tonight" 。Xu Jingming and two members of the Blood Rain Guard ate some food, freshened up, and went to bed early. 。The long journey was indeed tiring, Xu Jingming also chose "intelligent standby," his own consciousness left the Blood Rain World. 。

In a blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the night, and the wind at night felt even colder. 。"Rustle... rustle..."

A force of men appeared silently, gazing at the inn ahead from afar. 。

"The Dalai Lama" 。“A scout knelt aside and respectfully reported, “The Fei family’s troops have definitely settled into the ‘Xianghe Inn’ up ahead. Besides the Fei family’s troops, there are about thirty other guests staying at the Xianghe Inn, plus over ten staff members from the inn itself.” 。"

A guesthouse in Xianghe Was this inn opened by the Xianghe Gang" the black-haired man asked curiously. 。"It was a guesthouse built by the Xianghe Gang." 。"The young apprentice respectfully replied" 。The Xianghe Gang cooperated with our Black Lotus Sect last time. 。The black-haired man shook his head, “It’s just today, we need to catch the Fee family father and daughter, there's no other way! I believe the leader of the Xianghe gang will understand us, just set fire directly, burn down the inn, and catch the Fee family father and daughter.” 。"Attacking a guesthouse head-on would result in heavy losses. Although people say the Black Lotus Sect are lunatics, it's the intelligent ones who are truly frightening." 。The Black Lotus Sect clearly intends to seize the Fei family father and daughter at the lowest cost. 。

"Yes" 。Attention all! 。

The disciples of the Black Lotus Sect surrounded them very skillfully, hiding carefully. They all ignited rockets, the arrowheads of which were soaked in flammable liquid. At this moment, after igniting, they immediately shot arrows upon command. 。Many rockets soared into the sky, boom boom boom!!!

Some hit the wooden boards, some hit the haystacks outside the inn, and some flew into the stable and kitchen behind the inn. 。Many flammable materials, such as hay, wood, and cotton cloth, are inside the inn and can quickly ignite into raging flames. 。The inn buildings were primarily made of wood, so once a fire got going, it would naturally sweep through the entire inn. 。The Dharma King's eyes reflected the flames of a burning inferno within the darkness, yet they remained calm as a cold pool. He commanded, "Kill one by one, save for the father and daughter of the Fei family. None shall be spared!" ...Xu Jingming was online in an automated state. >>> 。

In his personal training ground, Xu Jingming had created a virtual planetary scene. This planet was inhabited only by him. At this moment, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, practicing the Heart Refining Technique, naturally sensing the flow of blood in his body and the subtle changes in his metabolism. 。Practicing the five volumes of sword techniques in the first part of "Hua Guang" has been progressing quite smoothly. 。But spiritual cultivation must never be relaxed in the slightest. 。Xu Jingming, having read many classics, understood very well that... one's heart ultimately determines how far the path of evolution can lead. 。Om 。"Suddenly, a blood rain alert came from the world." 。Xu Jingming suddenly opened his eyes, breaking free from the state of meditation. 。"What's wrong Is something happening" Xu Jingming had a bad feeling. When his body in the Blood Rain World was sleeping, it was on autopilot through its intelligence system. 。Once awake, I immediately receive a reminder so I can quickly enter the Blood Rain world. 。According to Xu Jingming's estimate, it should be about five hours before it's time to get up and leave. 。

Waking up so early, there must be something unexpected. 。"Wow!"

Xu Jingming didn't hesitate, an idea immediately entered the Blood Rain World. 。As soon as he entered, Xu Jingming realized he was already standing on the second-floor corridor of the inn. 。Today was a busy day, so this chapter is a bit shorter. I'll write more tomorrow! 。The world is in chaos, people's hearts are unpredictable...""...My son has suffered, he should know the meaning of my warnings...""Do you still remember my three favorite places At each place, I left...
