Lei Lichen got out of the car with a gloomy face. As the eldest son of the Lei family, he could not tolerate the humiliation of being eliminated in the first round.
So after taking a short rest at the competition office, he went home with his second uncle Lei Shaotian.
"Um?"
Lei Shaotian grabbed Lei Lichen and looked around vigilantly.
At this time, Lei Lichen also felt something, his eyes changed drastically, and he quickly rushed up the mountain and pushed open the door of the compound.
The strong and pungent smell of blood hit his nostrils. He shook his body in disbelief and ran into the backyard trembling.
When he saw the butler's body separated from his body, he was completely panicked.
"Second Uncle, who is it? Who is so bold?"
Lei Lichen knelt in front of Lei Shaoyu, growling with distorted features.
Lei Shaoyu remained silent, his eyes full of thoughts. He turned and ordered his servants, "This matter cannot be concealed. Report it to the empire immediately and call up all nearby surveillance equipment!"
"Brother has gone west, I will temporarily take charge of the family, everyone, get moving!"
He patted Lei Lichen on the shoulder and said, "Lichen, don't lose your composure!"
"Okay, second uncle." Although he said this, Lei Lichen still punched a wall to vent the anger and sadness in his heart.
There was a commotion of shouting and crying from the back.
"What's going on!" Lei Lichen yelled furiously, his body radiating uncontrolled arcs of lightning. "Everyone, be quiet!"
"yes……"
"It's Chen..."
"It's Chen Zhong!"
"It was Chen Zhong who attacked us!"
The noise came from far away and several members of the Lei family cried and shouted.
Hearing this name, Lei Lichen got goosebumps all over his body and immediately cursed, "Are you blind? Chen Zhong?"
"There's no mistake! There were two people attacking us. We all heard the woman calling out to the man, Chen Zhong. And the man looked very similar to Chen Zhong!"
Bang!
At this time, people from the empire arrived.
It was naturally the job of the Arbitration Office to deal with these matters. Upon learning that such a serious case had occurred at the foot of the imperial palace, fifty or sixty people rushed in, cordoned off the entire garden, investigated the scene, and analyzed the remaining spiritual power.
The leader is Yu Lingli and the director's apprentice - Peng Yu!
When seeing the corpse of Lei Shaoyu, who was at the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm, Yu Lingli remained calm. Chen Zhong had not told him the details of this matter, but he knew roughly some of it.
It's just that he's not quite sure about the specific reasons why Chen Zhong wants to wipe out the Lei family, but Yu Lingli won't disobey Chen Zhong because of this. After all, the benefits he gets from Chen Zhong are really hard to refuse.
In addition, the Lei and Yan families have been too high-profile in recent years, and their achievements have become a threat to the emperor, so the emperor himself wants to give them a warning.
Besides, Chen Zhong acted meticulously, so how could he have left even a trace of evidence at the scene?
After several searches at the Judgment Office yielded nothing, the Lei family members began shouting frantically, "It's Chen Zhong! It's that little bastard from Tianyan Academy!"
Chen Zhong, little bastard.
As soon as these two words appeared, Lei Shaotian's eyes became more fierce. As a loyal servant of his master, he would not allow anyone to speak rudely.
But due to the task assigned by Chen Zhong, he had to agree.
"That's true. They all said that there is this killer." Lei Shaotian became the backbone of the Lei family, so he had to come forward.
Of course, this was also a play that Chen Zhong asked him to play to help him control the Lei family. This was also the reason why Chen Zhong did not wipe out the roots. As long as there was still Lei Shaotian in the Lei family, the Lei family would not collapse in the short term.
"Block the news and don't let the media know about this, otherwise it will easily cause panic during this period." Peng Yu ordered his men.
"Chen Zhong? A sophomore?"
Yu Lingli muttered, her tone was incredible and a little absurd.
"Yeah, I was also confused at first." Lei Shaotian said sadly, "The key is that kid... should be in the Qiange Ancient Battlefield now, right?"
Wow, these two are acting like a double act.
Lei Lichen also fell silent. Although he had thought about Chen Zhong, he knew better than anyone else that Chen Zhong was indeed in the ancient battlefield.
Could it be... that he was eliminated too?
And arrived at the imperial capital first to launch the assassination?
call--
Several figures flew in the sky, namely Xu Xiaodao, Yang Fu and Yu Yongren.
"Where is Lei Shaoyu?"
Yang Fu's face was filled with shock, anger, and a little horror. He didn't know who had the guts to kill people right under their noses.
"Dead." Yu Lingli shrugged.
Xu Xiaodao was naturally as calm as usual. To him, the deaths of people in the imperial capital were irrelevant.
His Majesty's face remained expressionless, his eyes swirling with thoughts. He felt the empty air, "There's a breath of ice... and... huh? A strange aura of death? And there's another person. Huh? Why can't I capture his spiritual power?"
The more he understood, the more surprised Yu Yongren became. He looked at the two deans and asked, "What do you think?"
"I have no opinion. The assassin's experience is beyond my reach." Xu Xiaodao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Fu took a deep breath. "Ice Spiritual Power should be at the early stage of Grandmaster Realm. Those few dead auras are most likely from those with dark attributes or practicing magic. What makes me most nervous is that trace of aura that seems to be there and not there, ethereal yet exuding a sense of oppression that makes my whole body tremble!"
Yu Yongren nodded. "What the Imperial Master said makes sense. This aura of nothingness is the real mastermind. I'm very confused. Two Grandmasters came to kill everyone in the Lei family, but didn't even try to silence them. What's their goal?"
"Chen Zhong!!!"
“It’s Chen Zhong!!!”
Behind them, several members of the Lei family who had gone crazy were struggling and shouting.
"Chen Zhong?"
