Zhang Heng shook his head.
At this moment, having already been discovered, he remained unusually calm.
He looked directly at Zhang Tianjian, his eyes flashing with a light the latter couldn't understand. Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"
Zhang Tianjian didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject and said sternly, "Are you going to assassinate Jiang Jinyu? Do you know her identity? If anything happens to her, the entire Desolate Heaven Domain, including you, will be turned into a hell."
Even with Zhang Tianjian's strong character, he couldn't help but feel a chill when these things were mentioned.
However, he deliberately ignored the fact that, at least on the surface, Zhang Heng, who assassinated Jiang Jinyu, was a member of his Sword God Palace. Naturally, the Sword God Palace would be the first to bear the brunt. At that time, the Dragon Clan would probably make the Nine Provinces Continent understand what terror was!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianjian felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Zhang Heng coldly and said, "Zhang Heng, ask yourself honestly, how have I treated you all these years?"
Zhang Heng nodded honestly and said, "You treat me extremely well. You practically consider me one of your own. If Zhang Ling'er weren't so interested in me, I'd probably be your son-in-law by now."
"Then why do you treat me like this? Even though I am so loyal to you, it can't compare to your so-called favor from above?" At this point, Zhang Tianjian's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something.
He then sneered, "The behemoth standing behind you is the Eastern Divine Continent, hahaha... No wonder I admired you so much from the first time I saw you. I thought you were a pearl scattered among the people, but I never imagined that you were a carefully planned conspiracy. Tell me, what is your mission?"
"I'm afraid it's not just about assassinating Jiang Jinyu, is it?"
Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and his mind cleared up a little. After calming down, he looked at Zhang Tianjian, who still had a resentful expression on his face, and said, "You're overthinking things. My orders were to assassinate Jiang Jinyu."
"good."
Zhang Tianjian was so angry that he took several deep breaths before he could calm down. Then he suddenly stretched out his palm like a hawk, and a powerful killing intent gathered in layers.
His first move was a deadly strike.
Rather than letting it eventually wreak havoc on the entire Desolate Heaven Domain, it's better to nip it in the bud now.
However, Zhang Heng, whose cultivation was only at the Divine Realm, did not react at all. The fierce attack expanded infinitely in his eyes, but there was no trace of panic on his face.
A slow, gentle smile curved his lips.
It appeared to be a casual, unintentional wave of the hand.
splash ...
The next moment, countless rays of light solidified into a shield in front of him. After the shield appeared, Zhang Tianjian's attack instantly turned into dust and dissipated into countless rays of light.
"you……"
Zhang Tianjian's pupils suddenly contracted.
“You’re not at the Divine Treasure Realm… I trust those I employ and don’t employ those I don’t trust. In the end, I still fell into your hands.”
After a brief moment of shock, Zhang Tianjian slowly came to his senses and even used his spiritual sense to check, but the result still showed that he was at the Divine Treasure Realm. However, the strength this guy had shown was almost surpassing his own, so how could he still be at the Divine Treasure Realm?
Therefore, Zhang Heng must have consumed a elixir that concealed his cultivation level.
Zhang Tianjian sneered, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "I can't kill you, but I advise you, Jiang Jinyu, you'd better not even think about it. Even the power behind you can't withstand the wrath of the Dragon Clan."
"Then there's no need for the Palace Master to worry about it."
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.
...
"Why do I feel dizzy and lightheaded after sleeping?"
Zhou Mu woke up, his head spinning. If the spirit array in his room hadn't remained untouched, he would have thought something unspeakable had happened.
Fortunately, he quickly regained his senses, pretending that he hadn't rested well, and soon put the matter out of his mind.
In the corridor, Feng Qitong greeted them with a smile. As they approached, Feng Qitong bowed respectfully and asked, "Did you have a good night's rest, my lord?"
"Don't."
Hearing the title "sir" made Zhou Mu's head ache, and he quickly asked the other person to use a different title.
Feng Qitong said with a grin, "You're a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Mu."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu's expression immediately became complicated.
He stared at Feng Qitong for a long time, but the latter still had a smiling face and seemed to be doing nothing wrong.
On the surface, Feng Qitong looked much older than Zhou Mu, so it wouldn't be too much for Zhou Mu to call him "brother." However, Feng Qitong's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
This inevitably aroused Zhou Mu's suspicions.
If it involves matters from a past life, then Feng Qitong's statement about being older makes sense.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu's eyes darkened. "Feng Qitong, have we met before?"
Feng Qitong shook her head. "I don't know him."
"Then how do you think I'll be a few years older?" Zhou Mu asked.
Feng Qitong dodged the question, saying, "It's all about appearance..."
Zhou Mu smiled and said nothing more.
Just then, Lu Shan hurried over, intending to say something to Zhou Mu, but upon seeing Feng Qitong, he stopped in his tracks. The tense expression on his face vanished in an instant, and he greeted Feng Qitong with a smile.
Feng Qitong was not stupid, and naturally she could tell that the two had something to discuss, so she made an excuse and took her leave.
As luck would have it, just as he was about to leave, Jiang Jinyu lazily pushed open the window. Sunlight gently streamed down, illuminating his flawless face. For a moment, he seemed like a god from the heavens, radiating a divine light.
Feng Qitong was stunned.
Meanwhile, Lu Shan and Zhou Mu walked to the end of the corridor. After they had distanced themselves from Feng Qitong and there was no one around, Lu Shan said with a solemn expression, "Someone broke into Wentian Tower at night."
"What?" Zhou Mu's expression changed instantly.
Lu Shan sighed and continued, "I only discovered it after looking at the light screen. As you know, I'm timid by nature. Back on Earth, I liked to install surveillance cameras in my room. The equipment here is rudimentary, so naturally there are no surveillance cameras here."
"So when I was resting, I had Wentian Tower set up a formation so that I would know if any outsiders broke in. However, last night, I don't know if I was sleeping too soundly or if the formation didn't work, but I only discovered it when I went to the backyard now."
"Do you have footage of that time?" Zhou Mu's breathing suddenly became rapid.
In other words, if the assassin had even a hint of murderous intent towards them, then based on yesterday's events, they would already be corpses.
He felt a chill run down his spine; when had his guard had fallen so low?
