Chapter 161 Something Big Has Happened

"etc."

Zhou Xianzong wanted to call a halt, but it was too late.

Oh shit.

What did that idiot dog just say?

Is he a member of the Ye family?

Ye Jian's younger brother?

Isn't that the second young master of the Ye family?

And now he has killed him.

No wonder.

Oh, I see.

Zhou Xianzong suddenly realized.

No wonder the Ye family and I have a blood feud, and Ye Jian also joined Xiao Potian's side.

So that's why.

However, now that people have already been killed.

Forget it, screw it, I'm killing them anyway.

Come on, if you want revenge, I'm not afraid of you.

That's how it's written in the story anyway; you're bound to offend them sooner or later.

Da da da!

A series of hurried footsteps could be heard from not far away.

The first person to arrive at the scene was Hao Danteng.

When he saw the body on the ground and the broken room.

Hao Danteng was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on?

How did that bastard Ye Xiao end up here, and even get killed?

Could it be?

Is there an assassin?

Blanch!

Damn it, which bastard dares to assassinate His Highness? Does he have a death wish?

If I catch you, I'll skin you alive.

Hao Danteng couldn't help but feel anxious.

His Highness the Crown Prince has finally made it to Silver City and is staying at the City Lord's Mansion.

If we take good care of them...

That would be a great achievement.

Even if they haven't achieved anything, they've still put in the effort.

At the very least, one should not seek merit but only to avoid mistakes.

But what about now?

An assassin was hunting down the crown prince, and someone even died in the process.

If he were to be blamed for this, it would be one thing if he lost his official position, but he might even lose his life.

"Your Highness, we are late in coming to your rescue. Please punish us! But before you punish us, please tell us where the murderer has fled, and bring him back to you so that you may deal with him as you see fit!"

Hao Danteng knelt on the ground.

The rest of the people also knelt down.

"Please, Your Highness, punish me!"

Zhou Xianzong pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"Your Highness, I do not understand."

Hao Danteng truly didn't understand what this meant.

"He tried to kill me, but I killed him."

Zhou Xianzong said coldly.

These words struck Hao Danteng like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely stunned.

What the hell is going on?

Why would Ye Xiao, that idiot, become an assassin? The two of them have no grudges against each other and have never met before.

But Zhou Xianzong had no reason to lie to him.

"Half a day! I only need half a day to give Your Highness a satisfactory explanation."

Hao Danteng said decisively.

Zhou Xianzong glanced at him, snorted coldly, and led Yingxi back to his room.

Hao Danteng was covered in cold sweat and trembling with fear.

He understood that Zhou Xianzong was indeed angry.

Ultimately, he also bears some responsibility for this.

Zhou Xianzong was in the city lord's mansion. As the city lord, it was absolutely unacceptable for him to allow such a thing to happen.

At the same time, he also understood.

I only have half a day.

"Take his body with you."

Hao Danteng growled through gritted teeth.

"yes!"

The guards stepped forward, intending to drag Ye Xiao's body away, but they discovered that the inside of the body had turned into blood.

Left with no other choice, they had to use their cold energy to freeze it.

Hao Danteng returned to the main hall, where he was dressed in his battle robes and received the city lord's token by his personal attendants.

The scouts arrived with the news immediately.

Not only that, but the Hao family and the generals of the city lord's mansion also came.

Her face was full of worry, fearing that this would be their annihilation.

"explain!"

Hao Danteng shouted to the scout.

"Reporting to the city lord, this is what happened."

The scout recounted in detail how Ye Xiao had come to the city lord's mansion.

However, they did not know that Ye Xiao learned that Zhou Xianzong and Yu Nuan were together because he overheard what the servants said.

But none of that matters anymore.

The important thing is that Ye Xiao has already committed a heinous crime deserving of death.

"It seems that Ye Xiao, that fool, is sincerely seeking revenge against His Highness for Yu Nuan's sake. This is a crime that could implicate nine generations of one's family."

Hao Danteng said in a cold voice.

How could he not understand who Ye Xiao was?

The generals also felt that Ye Xiao deserved to die.

Oh shit.

You can act all high and mighty in Yincheng all the time, and nobody cares.

Why did he have to go looking for death and assassinate the crown prince?

"Husband, what should we do now?"

Hao asked with concern.

"Pass on my orders. Immediately summon the personal guards and the Silver City Legion, surround the Ye family, and slaughter everyone except the elderly, women, and children!"

Hao Danteng suddenly stood up, gripping the city lord's token tightly.

This command is given.

It exploded like a thunderclap in an instant.

No one could have imagined that Hao Danteng would be so decisive.

"If I act now, there will still be survivors in the Ye family. But once this news gets back to the Zhou Dynasty, not only the Ye family, but also their entire clan will be wiped out, without exception."

Hao Danteng said in a deep voice.

This is the cruelty of the cultivation world.

You're about to kill someone.

They would definitely kill you outright. Otherwise, why would they keep you around for a comeback?

Actually, Hao Danteng had another reason he didn't mention.

If he can't give an explanation, then the city lord's mansion will also be buried with him.

You don't really think that the ministers, generals, kings, emperors, and queens of the Zhou Dynasty were pushovers, do you?

Zhou Xianzong was the queen's only son and the sole heir to the Zhou dynasty.

If something happens to him.

That would throw the entire Zhou Dynasty into chaos.

"yes."

The generals immediately accepted the order.

Hao did not plead for leniency either.

It wasn't that she was heartless, but rather that she understood the importance of the matter.

The assassination of the crown prince was an event that shocked the entire Zhou Dynasty.

The Ye family must pay the price for this.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to warn others.

The city of Yincheng was shaken.

For many, this was the first time they had seen the Silver City Legion launch a full-scale attack, forming a massive encirclement and closing in on the city.

This scene is absolutely spectacular.

Countless soldiers of Silver City, clad in armor, surged forth in the darkness like a torrent of steel, creating an immense sense of oppression.

In particular, the chilling killing intent emanating from someone who had been through countless battles terrified countless people.

A great battle is about to begin.

Ye Qing said with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Go wait at the entrance of the training room. When he comes back, tell him to come to me as soon as possible and have him practice a fist technique. It's been half a month and there's still no progress. I'm going to test him today."

"yes."

The servant replied.

Just as the servant was about to leave, a guard came running over in a panic, shouting.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened?"

Ye Qing asked with some dissatisfaction.

Yincheng is now very peaceful, and the Ye family is steadily developing.

How can it be considered bad?

It's such a trivial matter, why are you so scared?

What kind of behavior is this?

"Patriarch, you, you must go out and see! We, our Ye family, are surrounded by the Silver City Legion!"

The guard roared, panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing sprang up from the armchair as if he were a spring.

"How could this be? I just returned from the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Hao has no grudge against my Ye family. Why would he surround the Ye family? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Patriarch, the Ye family is truly surrounded. You should go out and take a look."

The guard cried out anxiously.

"Come with me."

Ye Qing didn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked outside.

His eyelids trembled uncontrollably, and a strange sense of panic welled up inside him.

For some reason, he had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
