"This kind of person is targeting... Li Ming, right?"
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he quickly figured out the other party's purpose.
to be honest.
Although he was a prince, his influence and the level of hatred he garnered were less than a hair on Li Ming's head.
If the Blood God Cult were to create a kill list, Li Ming would definitely be in the top three.
And just as he thought.
Within the Blood God Cult, Li Ming has been identified as their primary target.
Priority.
He was even taller than the Crown Prince of Da Xuan.
This wasn't for any other reason than that many people within the Blood God Cult were curious about Li Ming's bloodline and physique, and were amazed by his origins.
If we could capture him alive and study him, that would be the best outcome.
but.
They also understood that Li Ming was no longer the same as before and was quite powerful. If a first-rank expert were to be dispatched, the court would quickly discover the situation, and it would be a loss for them.
Only a powerful and well-hidden divine son can be sent to take action.
The original plan was to find an opportunity to ambush and strike.
However, Xue Lingji obviously didn't take it seriously and attacked recklessly, completely disregarding the presence of other experts.
After all, it wasn't just the royal experts who came; many elders of geniuses from various sects also came to secretly protect them.
"Is it really okay for us to just leave like this?"
Jiang Chen hesitated.
After all, Li Ming was also a member of the imperial court. If he were to betray the other party and escape alone, it would be disastrous.
It was extremely bad for his reputation.
Cao Zheng said seriously:
"My responsibility is only to protect His Highness, not to protect anyone else... Besides, even if all of us experts were to join forces, we probably wouldn't be able to deal with such a formidable thief."
Li Ming is quite strong. If he can dodge the first wave of attacks, then I'll go and support him.
He then paused and said:
"If Your Highness were to be captured by accident, that would put Li Ming in a real dilemma."
Cao Zheng's words were not meant to be unhelpful to Li Ming.
Rather, it's because Blood Spirit Machine has a great reputation and strong enough power.
The fact that the other party brazenly entered the city to commit violence stemmed from two factors: their arrogance and their confidence!
In the past, there were enlightened angels and divine constables who went to hunt down this demon, but they either ended up in a sorry state or their bodies were never found.
The other side even set up an ambush and, with the help of experts within the sect, severely injured a Heavenly-level Patrol Angel, who was also a First-Rank Martial Saint!
"This is utterly reckless! When I get back, I will definitely tell my brother, the Crown Prince, that we must eradicate this Blood God Cult!"
Jiang Chen said coldly.
The Blood God Sect is indeed powerful, but the imperial court has deep resources and is not something the other side can afford to offend.
If it weren't for the threat posed by the Great Yan Dynasty...
This mere Blood God Cult was eradicated long ago.
“However… Senior Cao, I will leave the city first to seek refuge. You stay in the city and cover Li Ming’s retreat.”
Jiang Chen sighed softly.
Xue Lingji came with great force. Although he was unwilling, he knew that even though he was a Martial Saint, he was no match for such a master.
Stay here.
It's just causing trouble for Cao Zheng.
“This is a good idea… Moreover, if the other side captures people and finds out the truth, they will definitely know that Li Ming has not yet left the secret realm. Xue Lingji will definitely take hostages first and then force Li Ming to come out.”
Cao Zheng, as expected of someone who has weathered many storms, quickly sorted out the logic.
The person with the highest status at present.
It was undoubtedly Prince Jiang Chen. If Li Ming, as a subject, did not save him, he would be offending the Great Xuan royal family!
This is a matter of great righteousness!
After analyzing the situation.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately used his escape technique to quickly retreat.
Cao Zheng remained calm and observed the situation, preventing Xue Lingji from intervening.
Jiang Chen transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the horizon.
Xue Lingji glanced up, showing no interest whatsoever.
"I am here today only to fight against Divine Constable Li Ming. All bystanders may leave. If anyone tries to stop me, I will not hesitate to take action."
The indifferent voice, as if amplified a hundredfold or a thousandfold, echoed throughout the city.
Deafening!
He didn't think that much about it.
As the divine son of the Blood God Cult, he has his own style of doing things.
In his eyes, those ordinary sect prodigies were no different from mortals or ants.
Only the Jiang family bloodline aroused his curiosity, but it was only a slight curiosity.
after all.
His master was a cult leader who had captured many members of the Jiang family and studied their bloodline, so he wasn't exactly a rare figure.
The Jiang family ruled the world.
Naturally, intermarriage with various powerful figures resulted in a more mixed bloodline.
But it also gave rise to many outstanding talents.
Jiang Yuanba, one of them, was a prince born by force with a descendant of the Overlord. He possessed the perfect bloodline of the Jiang and Chu families and had extremely high talent.
Inside the Moon-Viewing Pavilion.
Many martial artists have begun to scatter and flee for their lives.
Watching these people flee like ants, Xue Lingji suddenly revealed an evil smile.
"Um?
Since we can't sense Li Ming's presence, then you may stay here!
In the blink of an eye.
Xue Lingji slightly raised his hand, and countless blood-red chains emerged from his body.
They then quickly trapped everyone in Wangyue Tower.
An invisible force, like a thousand horses galloping, immediately shook everyone's minds, making them dare not resist.
They were afraid of angering the other party.
He lost his life.
Blood Spirit Machine teleported everyone in front of him and casually asked:
"Among you, who is close to Li Ming?"
"Don't worry, I'm not one to kill indiscriminately, but if you don't speak up... you know the consequences."
As Blood Spirit Machine's last words landed.
Someone in the crowd said something.
"Guan Xin of the Guan family has the best relationship with Li Ming."
"Yes...it's him."
Upon hearing this, Xue Lingji raised an eyebrow:
"oh?"
Who is Guan Xin?
I was just about to ask someone to point that out.
Guan Xin spoke directly:
"I am Guan Xin, you devil, what do you want?"
"Wow, what a big mouth you've got!"
Blood Spirit Machine, instead of being angry, laughed and said coldly:
Aren't you afraid of dying?
Upon hearing this, Guan Xin not only didn't back down, but instead raised his head and roared at Xue Lingji:
"You fiend, everyone knows what you're up to. You just want to use me as bait to get Brother Li to make a move, don't you?"
"Let me tell you, if your Grandpa Guan were to beg for mercy even once, he wouldn't be a man!"
Many martial artists were impressed by Guan Xin's imposing presence.
They all clenched their fists, secretly admiring him.
Even Wan Kong couldn't help but look at him with new respect.
I just felt that I had underestimated the other person.
Seeing Guan Xin speak so freely, calling everyone "Grandpa" repeatedly.
Various foul and obscene language was uttered.
The purpose was to provoke Xue Lingji and make him kill him.
So as not to be used as bait by the other party.
Suddenly.
Guan Xin felt his body being tightened by chains, his bones cracking.
Having followed Li Ming for a long time, and being born into the Guan family, whose family tradition is to value loyalty and righteousness, he is very upright.
His personality can be described as somewhat arrogant and stubborn, which he hadn't shown much when he was with Li Ming in the past.
Now trapped in the hands of Xue Lingji, his life is in danger, but this has unexpectedly awakened his power.
"snort!"
"You think I'm going to kill you?"
"No."
"I'm using you as bait to get your Brother Li killed!"
Blood Spirit Machine sneered.
"I've seen plenty of people like you, thinking themselves righteous and chivalrous, but I'm not one of you!"
"you……"
Guan Xin wanted to curse, but found himself unable to utter a single word.
I waited for a long time.
Xue Lingji knew that Li Ming had not yet come out of the secret realm, so he waited quietly, paying close attention to Li Ming's aura.
It seems boring.
Looking at everyone, he said with great interest:
"Don't think that someone will come to your rescue anytime soon."
"To tell you the truth."
"The entire area within a hundred miles is shrouded by an array, making it impossible to transmit sound."
"And it won't be a matter of a short time to bring in enough experts, will it?"
"The number of top-tier experts in Yunzhou is extremely limited!"
Blood Spirit Machine was no fool, of course.
If Li Ming doesn't come, he can simply pack up all these people and take them away, forcing Li Ming to appear.
During this period, if other forces send experts...
He would receive the message immediately and retreat instantly.
It can be said that they can advance and retreat with ease.
Upon hearing Xue Lingji's words, everyone felt utterly hopeless.
They all began to complain about Li Ming.
Among these people were talented martial artists participating in the trial, as well as their followers and guards.
Unlike Jiang Chen, who was protected by a powerful figure at the Enlightenment Realm, the strongest of these guards was only a Martial Saint at the Dharma Aspect Realm. They posed no threat to Xue Lingji and had no chance to fight back.
I shouldn't have participated in the secret realm with this jinx... I should have left earlier.
Many people are filled with deep regret.
Wan Kong secretly blamed himself, thinking that he was quite strong and had come out without making any preparations, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to take him seriously.
I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Just as the sky was getting a little dark.
Suddenly.
A powerful aura suddenly appeared in the square, like a golden dragon soaring straight into the sky.
"They're here!"
With a thought flashing through his mind, Xue Lingji immediately ignored the hostages and rushed directly towards the source of the aura.
