"My Lord, the sudden closure of Ping An Tower today is indeed likely to arouse suspicion. We have spread the word as you instructed, saying that many rooms in the building are undergoing annual repairs and need to be closed for a while."

"It's a good idea to use this as a clue to make it look more realistic. Let the people below pretend to move furniture so that the people on the other side won't get suspicious."

"yes."

After a moment of silence, the man in black asked respectfully, "Your people are ready, are we going to start the action?"

The lady of the Xinghua Palace looked mysterious and looked at the gray sky. She said calmly, "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a surprise."

Sure enough, less than an hour later, the snow was falling heavier and the dark sky was once again streaked with lightning.

"Haha... God is helping you. You guys have encountered such a rare celestial phenomenon."

"As the old saying goes, 'Winter thunderstorms bring graves.' The Southern Qi court has been shaken by wind and rain, and now there are frequent ominous weather phenomena. I'm afraid the peaceful life of the past few years is coming to an end."

"Let's make trouble. It's best if we make trouble! If we don't make trouble, how can we take advantage of the situation?! Although the people in the nearby counties respect us like gods, compared with the entire Southern Qi Kingdom, our power is still too small."

The Princess of Xinghua Palace seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes gradually became crazy.

"The young master must have seen the signs of chaos in the world, and has stepped up his preparations recently. In this case, we naturally cannot leave him in vain."

"Now the time is right, the place is right, and everything is going your way. Then let the storm come even harder, and use the two big killers you brought with you!"

"We must let tonight's heavenly punishment affect half of Jinru Street and cause a complete sensation in all countries!"

There was such a chill in her voice that the man in black couldn't help but shudder.

But he understood the Lord's true intention in an instant.

Explosive news always spreads easily. If they fabricate a miracle tonight, where a thunderbolt struck half of Jincheng Street, the reputation of the Xianyuan Sect will spread to the surrounding countries within half a day.

This effect is much more efficient than their promotion in each city. Now the young master is doing everything he can to expand the power of the Xianyuan Sect. If they knew that they had done such a big thing, they would definitely reward them handsomely!

They, Erhua Palace, were a force cultivated by the young master, and they had always been at odds with the old masters in the Elders' Hall. After today, they no longer had to look at the faces of those old masters.

"Your Excellency is wise." The man in black became more and more excited as he thought about it. He admired the woman in front of him.

"Okay, it's almost time, let the people below start."

The man in black retreated. From the darkness behind him came a childish female voice:

"Ah... Sister, the purpose of our Xianyuan Sect is to save all living beings. To create a miracle where half a street is struck by lightning, doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean we are going to harvest thousands of innocent lives in the blink of an eye..."

The hem of the woman's light pink dress is embroidered with peach blossoms. She is the mistress of the Peach Blossom Palace, one of the two palaces in the palace.

She and the Princess of Xinghua Palace were both orphans adopted by the Young Master. They joined the Xianyuan Sect at the same time and had a very good relationship.

Unlike the wild and aggressive Princess Apricot, Princess Peach is kinder and usually responsible for the promotion of providing porridge to the people. But today she came here because she was worried about her sister's safety.

"Xiao Tao, you need to change your temper. It is said that a general's success is based on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. For the sake of the young master's great cause, what does it matter if a few thousand ruffians are sacrificed?"

"Don't forget who rescued us from the hands of human traffickers and gave us a life without worries about food and clothing. This world is cruel and indifferent. Only those who work hard to climb up can avoid being bullied by others. There are also those who are really iron-hearted who can climb higher. You should remember this truth well."

The Princess of Xinghua Palace had a cold voice, and when she looked down at the people on the street, she looked at them as if they were insignificant ants. However, when she looked at her younger sister, she showed some tenderness.

"Okay..." Peach Blossom Palace Master was a little confused, but still nodded obediently.

Then he thought of something and said fiercely as if he had made up his mind:

"Sister is right. Sister Mei was bullied so badly just for going out for a walk. If we don't teach them a lesson, these bastards will probably become even more ignorant of the world."

"Just so you know."

…

The street lanterns gradually went out, and the surrounding streets slowly faded into darkness. Hundreds of ghostly figures quietly sneaked into the inn opposite and began to blow smoke into the room through the windows.

Li Zhenyi has been practicing martial arts diligently recently and taking a lot of tonic medicine, which has enhanced her five senses. When she heard the noise coming from the staircase, she sat up suddenly.

She subconsciously tightened her hands to protect Sheng Nanxi in her arms. Feeling the softness under her hands, she remembered that the little girl had just quietly slipped away with Gu Yuancheng.

She also noticed when Sheng Nanxi left, but she didn't want to interfere with her daughter's opinion, so she just pretended to sleep quietly.

As the footsteps outside approached, there were also the sounds of countless arrows breaking through the air, followed by the sounds of bodies falling to the ground one after another.

Li Zhenyi knew that the secret guards arranged by her two sons had been dispatched, and she felt much more at ease.

But the enemy seemed to be well prepared, and did not panic when seeing a companion being shot by the secret guard. He quickly changed the formation, assigning one group of people to resist the fierce rain of arrows, while the other group continued to put drugs in each room in an orderly manner.

"Sheng Lang..." A trace of panic flashed across Li Zhen's eyes, and she subconsciously reached out to push the person beside her.

"Eh? The acupoints pressed by Xiao Xier will take effect in half an hour, so I can't fall asleep again..."

Of course Li Zhenyi also knew that her little daughter had pressed acupoints on her father before, but at this moment she looked at the erect Sheng Jinghai and fell into deep thought.

But she didn't have time to think. Li Zhenyi turned over the mechanism according to Gu Yuancheng's instructions, and a secret door slowly opened behind her.

"Oh, forget it! My husband has protected you all my life. This time, it's your turn to protect you."

Seeing the footsteps getting closer, Li Zhenyi burst out with unprecedented strength, picked up Sheng Jinghai in her arms like a princess and tried to hide in the secret room.

However, it seemed that they had already explored their room clearly. After concentrating their strength to break through several secret guards' defenses, they rushed towards this room.

"Bang——" The door was smashed open by someone.

Seeing that the people inside were alarmed, the men in black didn't want to leave them alive and slashed at Sheng Jinghai with their swords.

"My lady, be careful!" The secret guard who came to the rescue was also very skilled and immediately deflected the sword.

"Damn it! You dare to touch my husband! I will make you regret being born by your mother!"

Li Zhenyi was really enraged. Her usual dignity was gone, and she turned around smoothly to dodge several hidden arrows. She took out the hidden weapon Xiao Xier gave her and aimed it at the man in black in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Jinghai, who was sleeping, suddenly turned around and hugged her in his arms. He picked up the long sword on the table and swung it sharply, killing the four men in black.

"How could I trouble you to do this?"

Sheng Jinghai exuded a domineering aura. With a wave of his hand, the tables, chairs and benches in the room flew into the air, and all the men in black who came over again were crushed to the ground.

"Hehe... Madam, was that a cool move just now?" Sheng Jinghai turned gorgeously in the air while holding Li Zhenyi, not forgetting to show off in front of his wife.

Li Zhenyi: …

Looking at that handsome face, she suddenly responded. A trace of anger flashed across her face.

"You weren't acupunctured by Xi'er at all?!"
