The geniuses from various regions came from all directions. What the Tianqi monks talked about with great relish was which masters were fighting yesterday and which ones were scheduled to fight today.
The names of geniuses became famous with each battle.
Amidst the extreme prosperity, no one realized that a crisis that would affect the Xianyun Realm was quietly brewing.
It seems that Kong Ju reported the intelligence obtained from Wanlan Lake.
The Tianqi royal family did not let any of this news leak out.
I guess they have their own considerations, and Kong Ju is too lazy to think too much about it.
As the days passed, it was only three months away from the opening of Chaodi Ancient City.
When countless eyes of Tianqi were focused on the Chaodi Ancient City, a sudden news suddenly came from the Imperial City Department, which was in charge of Tianqi's arrest and bounty hub.
It was personally acknowledged by Ji Xintao, the Chief of the Imperial City Division.
That is, Zhuo Yufeng, the priest of Zhuo Yin tribe who once led the witches of Zhuo Yin tribe to harass Tianqi, has been killed.
The bounty money was taken away by the Ma manager in Princess Qing's mansion.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Tianqi.
Not only the imperial city, but also the cultivators in various prefectures of Tianqi were all astonished.
Day and Wind, that is a real half-step palm master. He is nearly invincible under the palm master status, and his whereabouts are erratic due to his wind-based magical powers.
The leader of Tianquan Sword Sect tried many times to kill him, but he escaped in advance and returned in vain.
A priest of the Zhuyin tribe who couldn't even catch Zhang Sheng was actually killed.
Moreover, the bounty was taken away by the steward of Princess Qing's mansion.
This made the monks of Tianqi wonder whether it was the Fifth Princess who took action.
This speculation was quickly denied by the quick-witted monk.
"The Fifth Princess does have unparalleled talent, and she created her own art of ink painting. But no matter how strong she is, she is only half a step away from becoming a master. Even if she can defeat Zhou Yufeng, she may not be able to stop him."
"Could it be that Princess Qing has already given birth?" Someone else made his own speculation and gave corresponding evidence: "A few months ago, she spent a lot of money to buy a set of earth-grade purple magic pupils from Xunyu Pavilion. I think she prepared it for herself."
"With the help of the Purple Extreme Illusionary Pupil, it is not impossible to break through the Palm Life!"
This inference was well-founded. On the day when Xunyu Pavilion auctioned the Purple Extreme Fantasy Pupil, many nobles of the Tianqi royal family and prominent figures attended the auction.
Therefore, the fact that Princess Qing purchased the Purple Fantasy Pupils was no longer a secret in the dynasty.
With this analysis, the inference that Princess Qing successfully controlled Life and killed Zhou and Feng is also tenable.
Faced with the irrefutable evidence, some of the previous objections began to echo: "I think it's very likely!"
Strangely, this news reached the princess's mansion.
Princess Qing did not intend to explain, and seemed to have accepted the result.
This further confirmed the monks' inference.
In this way, the news that the Fifth Princess successfully used her palm to kill Zhou and Feng, which was inferred by the monks, spread quickly throughout Tianqi.
The monks all marveled at Princess Qing’s strength.
When she was young, she stood out among all the princes and princesses. Now she has successfully taken control of life. Even the leader of Tianquan Sword Sect couldn't kill Zhou and Feng, who fell into her hands.
It can be seen that she is as strong as ever.
Almost no one suspected anyone except the fifth princess.
I think so.
After all, no matter how powerful Huangfu Wuqin and Kong Ju were, and no matter how amazing their talents were, they were too young, and no one would think that they could deal with a Gujiang witch cultivator who had reached the level of half a master and had realized his magical powers.
In this way, the truth that Zhou Yufeng was killed by Kong Ju was also concealed.
After all, there were only three or five people who actually knew that the person who killed Zhou and Feng was Kong Ju.
The Prime Minister Qiaoqiao, Shangguan Yuzhou, Manager Ma, and Princess Qing
As long as they don't speak, no one will know the truth of the matter.
And he was taken care of by Kong Ju's master's wife, Princess Qing. This result couldn't be better.
Kong Ju secretly felt grateful to his master's wife and also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this imperial city where many heroes gather, on the eve of the opening of the Chaodi Ancient City, any extraordinary behavior is bound to be pushed to the forefront and become a hindrance to entering the Chaodi Ancient City.
After all, there are so many eyes watching, and there are geniuses from other worlds in Tianqi.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Kong Ju's performance was too stunning. When he entered Chaodi Ancient City, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
Only by keeping a low profile can we remain calm in this chaotic situation.
"Master's wife is as wise as my master. I haven't even talked to her about everything, but she knows everything I'm thinking." After a series of events, Kong Ju now has a heartfelt respect for his master's wife.
He didn't mention a word about the matter between Zhou and Feng. Princess Qing could guess from Manager Ma's actions that she was the one who did it.
And with a tacit attitude, help yourself block public opinion.
As an elder, there is nothing wrong with Princess Qing's behavior, and she is indeed worthy of Kong Ju's respect.
In the early stage of public opinion spread.
After receiving the bounty, Manager Ma rushed back to the princess's residence and carefully handed a large bag of spirit crystals to Kong Ju.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Ma!" Kong Ju took the bag of spirit stones and smiled politely at the old man who had helped him a lot.
"No way, you are the princess's disciple, and it is my duty to run errands for you." Manager Ma was a little frightened by Kong Ju's smile, and he waved his hands quickly, with a very respectful attitude.
Previously, Manager Ma respected Kong Ju because of his status as the first disciple of the Cangwu Sect's leader and because of his extraordinary talent.
That kind of respect had turned into awe after Kong Ju took out the bodies of Zhou and Feng and handed them over to him to exchange for reward money at the Imperial City Bureau.
The priest of the Zhuyin tribe, who even the leader of the Tianquan Sword Sect could not kill, was killed by Kong Ju.
If Manager Ma had not seen it with his own eyes and confirmed repeatedly that it was indeed the bodies of Zhou and Feng, he would never have believed it.
Because of this, Kong Ju's position in Manager Ma's heart is second only to his master, Princess Qing.
“At such a young age, with such talent and such terrifying combat record, looking across the world, only the prince can be compared to him.” Manager Ma looked at the young man in front of him with a still warm smile. He didn’t dare to meet his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
Kong Ju was helpless about the change in Manager Ma's attitude. He also knew that he might have scared him.
There is no other way. This matter can only be handled by Manager Ma. It is impossible for Kong Ju to go to the Imperial City Office in person.
After talking softly to Manager Ma for a few words, he could only send him out of his courtyard in a gentle manner.
Only after Manager Ma left did Kong Jue slowly close the gate. Then he could not wait to open the bag of spirit crystals that Manager Ma handed to him and immersed himself in it.
The bright and crystal color came into view, making Kong Ju's eyes sparkle.
"One hundred thousand!" Kong Jue said the number of spirit crystals in this bag in a gentle voice, and the smile on his face could hardly be suppressed. (End of this chapter)
