Young Master Zhou's heart-wrenching screams were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
The silence was instantly shattered, and everyone looked at each other in surprise and disbelief.
"Judging from the voice, it seems to be Brother Zhou!"
Among the group of young men in brocade robes, one with a handsome face and extraordinary demeanor frowned slightly and spoke.
He was the eldest son of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and was one of the most prominent figures in the capital's elite circles. He was respectfully addressed as the Crown Prince by everyone.
"Young Master, has something happened to Brother Zhou?"
Another young man beside him, his face full of worry, asked cautiously.
"I don't know, but the sound is coming from outside the door. Let's go check it out!"
As the prince spoke, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, then he addressed a graceful figure behind the sheer gauze partition.
"Miss Fuxiang, I have some personal business to attend to and will be back soon!"
"If Your Highness has something to attend to, just go and do it! Don't worry about us!"
A soft, delicate, and slightly seductive voice came from behind the sheer curtain.
Her voice was melodious, as if carrying a captivating charm that made listeners yearn for it.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
The prince bowed slightly, then led everyone out of the courtyard and onto the outside.
As soon as they came out, they saw a scene that chilled them to the bone.
At this moment, Wei Changxuan stood coldly in front of Young Master Zhou, whose limbs were all broken. His condescending attitude made it seem as if Young Master Zhou was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
"What? Now you're not going to let me get lost?"
Wei Changxuan's eyes were filled with icy indifference, and he spoke in a chilling voice, each word seemingly carrying frost, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Do...do you know...who I am?"
The young man in the brocade robe at Wei Changxuan's feet looked at him with venomous eyes, his tone full of threat.
"Oh? Then do you know who I am?"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Wei Changxuan's face.
However, there was no warmth in that smile. Then, he suddenly stomped on the crotch of the young man in the brocade robe.
"puff"
A chilling sound of an egg cracking rang out.
The voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly captivating the group of people who had just left the courtyard.
They all instinctively felt their necks shrink and a chill run down their groin.
Their faces showed fear, as if they themselves had suffered the same excruciating pain.
"what……"
With Wei Changxuan's kick, a pig-like scream echoed through most of the alley once again, filled with pain and despair.
"Ah...I want you dead, I want you dead!"
Prince, Brother Zhang, Brother Sun, kill him!
Kill him!
At this moment, the young man in the brocade robe, tormented by excruciating pain, had lost his mind.
When he saw the group of handsome young men who had just come out, he seemed to have grasped at a lifeline and immediately began to howl wildly.
Upon hearing the words of the young man in brocade robes, Wei Changxuan slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping across the group of people who had just emerged like a knife, and said in a cold and sharp voice:
"Oh? Are you guys going to step in?"
Hearing Wei Changxuan's voice, which seemed to come from the depths of hell, even the handsome young man who was the heir apparent couldn't help but shudder.
The man before me was so ruthless and decisive in his actions that he was just like those ignorant and vulgar brutes.
The Crown Prince also had a lot of headaches dealing with this kind of person.
However, things have now developed to such an extent that the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue has suffered broken limbs and a tragic end, leaving him childless and without descendants.
This is far beyond what he can easily handle.
But these people usually hung out with him; as the leader of this circle,
If I don't stand up for my younger brother, how will I maintain my position in the powerful circles of the capital, and how will I gain the trust of everyone?
So even though he knew in his heart that the person in front of him had ill intentions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Fortunately, as the eldest son of the Earl of Pingyuan, he also had his own confidence and power.
His father, the Earl of Pingyuan, ran numerous shady businesses in the shadows of the capital.
Over the years, it has cultivated many formidable masters.
Therefore, he still has some confidence in the current situation.
In addition, he was accompanied by the son of the Minister of War and many other sons of officials.
With so many top-tier second-generation elites gathered here, he refused to believe he couldn't take down this arrogant and domineering guy in front of him.
The prince frowned, a fierce glint in his eyes. An old man behind him, holding a long sword, appeared like a black ghost and immediately stepped in front of him.
The old man exuded a strong aura of malevolence, the kind of aura one develops from constantly teetering on the edge of life and death.
Without a word, he slashed down at Wei Changxuan with his sword, the intense wind from the blade carrying a chilling aura.
Like a ferocious wild beast, it slashed towards Wei Changxuan.
However, facing a full-force attack from a fifth-rank expert, Wei Changxuan stood rooted to the spot, unmoved, with a hint of mockery on his face.
It was as if they hadn't seen the attack in front of them.
At this critical moment, Janet behind Wei Changxuan moved, and terrifying cosmic energy erupted directly...
Chapter 13 Fu Xiang's Speculation, Uncle Wei Yuan! (Third Update)
Night fell, like a huge black silk ribbon, enveloping the entire capital of Dafeng.
The alleyway of Jiaofangsi was so quiet it was almost oppressive.
Only a few faint rays of light shone from the small pavilion in the plum blossom shadows, flickering uncertainly in the dark night.
Inside the pavilion, Fu Xiang leaned lazily against the couch, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, she was fully aware of everything happening outside the courtyard.
This princess of the fallen Demon Kingdom, a carefully planted pawn, is actually the Night Princess!
Just then, a strange energy fluctuation came.
That was the cosmic energy that Janet and Wei Changxuan had unleashed earlier.
Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, it stirred up ripples in Fu Xiang's heart.
"This peculiar aura..."
Fu Xiang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and contemplation flashing in her eyes.
"Could this be the person Her Highness the Princess repeatedly instructed us to find?"
She couldn't help but recall receiving a telepathic message from the princess.
It mentions the need to find someone with a special aura.
This aura contains a vast and mysterious power of heaven and earth, which concerns the future of the Demon Kingdom.
The aura I just sensed was strong and unique.
Although it flashed by, Fu Xiang was so close that she could naturally sense it.
The person outside the courtyard is very likely the one the princess is looking for.
The princess of the Demon Kingdom gave her the order to bind this person to the Demon Kingdom's war chariot by any means necessary.
Fu Xiang's eyes darted around as she secretly devised a plan.
……
Outside the courtyard, however, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
Janet's body was filled with surging energy, like a volcano about to erupt, and her powerful aura made the surrounding air tremble.
She lightly touched the ground with her feet, her figure flashing like a ghost, her fist carrying unparalleled power, rushing straight towards the old man holding the long sword.
The surrounding children of officials were all shocked upon seeing this.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Zhang Yi, the son of the Minister of War, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He then sneered and said:
"Does he think he's a third-rank martial artist?"
Catching swords with bare hands! Utterly absurd!
In the Great Feng Dynasty, third-rank military officers were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; the Prince of Zhenbei was the only one known to all.
A fourth-rank martial artist is already considered top-tier.
The black-robed man in front of me doesn't seem like someone with such great strength at all.
However, reality delivered a resounding slap, instantly shattering Zhang Yi's mockery.
Janet suddenly stretched out her hand, her five fingers like hooks, and directly grasped the sharp long knife.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp "crack" sound rang out, and the long knife was easily crushed in her hand like a fragile twig.
Before anyone could react, Janet had already thrown a punch, the wind whistling through the air like a cannonball hurtling past.
"Young Master, get out of the way!"
Upon seeing this, the guards of the numerous second-generation elites were filled with rage and unleashed all their skills and techniques.
but……
"Boom!" A deafening roar seemed to shake the heavens and earth.
