The Shadow Escape Technique has ten levels. Once you reach the tenth level of perfection, you must be very careful when using the Shadow Escape Technique. This is because the technique, which relies on shadows, is very unstable. If you are not careful, it may cause your true energy to become disordered, resulting in injury or even disability.
Night Wind then asked, "What level have you reached in your Shadow Escape Technique?"
"Ten levels? I've already mastered the Shadow Escape Technique to the tenth level." Zijing said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Upon hearing Zijing's words, Yefeng and Luoqing exchanged bewildered glances.
Zijing, a mere martial artist at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm, has actually cultivated the Shadow Escape Technique to the tenth level of perfection?
He truly is a genius at running away!
This girl really uses all her skills on running away.
After a long pause, Night Wind finally uttered two words: "Amazing."
Luo Qing nodded in agreement: "In a sense, it is indeed very impressive."
Bauhinia became even more proud.
She put her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, almost pointing her nostrils at the ceiling.
Without another word, Ye Feng walked over and gave the royal shadow guard a light kick.
Then the royal shadow guard woke up and slowly opened his eyes.
"Did Zhu Chongguang send you to spy on me?" Ye Feng asked.
The royal shadow guard sprang to his feet and said, "I won't say anything, Your Highness Prince Nanling."
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you in a fit of rage?" Ye Feng said meaningfully.
“Even so, I will not reveal a single word,” the Royal Shadow Guard said emphatically.
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Since you're unwilling to say, I'll guess for myself... You didn't appear immediately after we checked into the Red Maple Pavilion, but you appeared here after the Second Prince Zhu Yunfeng arrived."
"So you weren't sent by Zhu Chongguang to spy on me, but to secretly protect the Second Prince Zhu Yunfeng. But when Zhu Yunfeng left, you should have left with him. What are you doing lingering here?"
After a long silence, the royal shadow guard finally said, "I was planning to leave, but just as I was about to go, your guards suddenly came and knocked me unconscious."
"It seems my guess was correct." Night Wind nodded with a smile.
Luo Qing asked, "Ancestor, how do you know this guy wasn't sent by His Majesty to spy on you?"
“His Majesty is not a fool. He wouldn’t do something so foolish at such a sensitive time. Besides, he knows my strength. If he really wanted to monitor me, he should have sent someone with sufficient ability, not such a half-baked person,” Ye Feng said.
"I see." Luo Qing suddenly realized.
Night Breeze glanced at the royal shadow guard and said, "You can leave now."
"Your Highness Prince Nanling, are you going to let me go?" The royal shadow guard looked surprised.
"If I don't let you go, am I really going to kill you here?" Night Wind retorted.
The royal guard nodded slowly and said, "I understand. Thank you, Prince Nanling, for sparing my life."
The royal shadow guard bowed, then climbed out the window and disappeared into the deep night without looking back.
It was getting late, so Ye Feng told Luo Qing to go back and rest, while he took Zi Jing to a study on the second floor.
Zijing followed Yefeng curiously and said, "What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night, you don't mean you're planning to read a book, do you?"
"Shut up, just watch," Night Wind said.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, he walked to the corner of the study and pushed the bookshelf against the wall a little bit.
Then, Ye Feng raised his right hand and tapped on the wall, as if searching for something.
Seeing this, Zijing became even more curious.
After searching for a while, Ye Feng finally found a hidden compartment.
With a gentle tap of his right hand, Ye Feng created cracks in the wall, revealing a small box hidden in a secret compartment.
I finally found this.
Night Breeze smiled with satisfaction, took the small box out of the hidden compartment in the wall, and put the bookshelf back in its original position to block the gap in the wall.
"What is this? What is this?"
Zijing jumped over and asked quickly.
Night Wind smiled and said, "This is something I left here seven hundred years ago."
"So what exactly is this thing? And why didn't you bring your great-great-great-great-granddaughter with you when you came looking for this thing? Why did you bring me instead?" Zijing asked again.
Ye Feng said seriously, "After all, seven hundred years have passed. I don't know if what I left here is still there. What if I bring Luo Qing here and tell her that I left a treasure here, only to find that it has already been discovered and taken away? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"
“That’s true,” Zijing nodded, a look of understanding on her face.
Night Breeze took the small box, sat down at the table, but did not open it immediately.
This small box was left here by Luo Tong. Ye Feng has all of Luo Tong's memories, so he knows this.
The problem is that the key to open this little box isn't here; it's been placed in another very secret place by Luo Tong.
Just as Ye Feng thought of this, Zi Jing's expression changed.
"Someone else is here!"
Zijing cried out and lunged toward the window.
Almost simultaneously, a mysterious woman dressed in a long red dress and with a crimson veil on her face appeared outside the window.
Perhaps startled by Zijing, the mysterious woman instinctively raised her hand and struck out at Zijing.
Zijing cried out and flew backward, landing on the ground unconscious.
"I was terrified! Who is she? Why did she attack me?" the woman in red asked, glancing at Zijing lying motionless on the ground.
“She is my bodyguard,” Ye Feng said.
"Your bodyguard? I'm so sorry, she suddenly charged at me and made some strange, incomprehensible noise, so I knocked her away. But don't worry, I was careful; she's not hurt, at most she'll just be unconscious for a while," the woman in red said, then lifted her long, beautiful legs and jumped through the window into Ye Feng's room.
Peak of the Extraordinary Realm?
Ye Feng sensed the fluctuations of true energy emanating from the woman and immediately determined her martial arts strength.
Moreover, the fluctuations of true energy emanating from this woman were somewhat peculiar, seemingly different from those of ordinary martial artists.
"Now can you tell me who you are?" Ye Feng asked calmly, sitting at his desk.
"I didn't expect you to be so calm. I thought you would mistake me for an assassin and attack me suddenly like your bodyguards," the woman in red said with a smile.
"Even if you really are an assassin, it's nothing special. You're just a Transcendent Realm cultivator, not enough to make me nervous," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
