Chapter 33: Killing

urious, and the county princess suggested forming Xue Yilou to confront Jiangshanlou head-on, eliminating them would not only sever the emperor's lackey's connections but also cut off a crucial source...Qin Sang's face lit up with joy. "Isn't that just perfect Brother Liu might not know, but I just received a message from General Wang Liu via carrier pigeon outside the city. Because of the difficult mountain roads, he will need to delay for two days before arriving. So let's do as you said, send someone to notify General Mu, and on the day after tomorrow, act according to the plan. The day after that, open the city gate at dawn."

Seeing Liu Ji and his men look at him with uncertainty because of his words, Qin Sang secretly sneered in his heart.

The Blood Clothes Building wasn't a monolithic entity. The head of the Blood Clothes Building, Black Crane Zhenren, had four underlings called the Four Protectors: Old Yue, Grass Head Immortal, White-Clad Scholar, and Crimson embroidered Lady. The four were not subordinate to each other, and there was friction between them.

He and Yue Lao only listened to the orders of Dongyang County Lord.

Hongxiu is the prince's confidante. Qin Sang has met Hongxiu once and suspects that this flamboyant woman might very well be the prince's mistress.

Cao Toutou Xian is the direct descendant of the third son of the Duke, and also the weakest faction in Xueyi Lou. In Qin Sang's view, this is more like a placating position.

The scholar in white is the confidante of Heihe Zhenren, while this Liu Ji is a person under the scholar in white.

In a single statement, Liu Ji's true intentions were revealed. Wang Liu and Liu Ji colluded, indicating that the Black Crane Immortal likely leaned towards the Prince. This is bad news for the County Princess faction.

In the Dongyang Prince's mansion, there were four princes eligible to inherit the throne. Besides the crown prince, the three other contenders were powerful, with the third prince being the strongest among them. However, he was still unlikely to pose a threat to the crown prince's position.

However, there was an exception in Dongyang Palace: Miss Dongyang.

Eastern Yang Princess' original name was Anning Princess. She was the eldest daughter of the Eastern Yang King and his first wife, Feng Shi. After the death of the first wife, the king felt deeply saddened and doted on Eastern Yang Princess even more.

As the Eastyang County Princess grew older, her intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary people, and she was deeply beloved by the King. He indulged her in every way, even bestowing upon her the title of Eastyang County Princess.

The county princess has the support of her maternal family, who hold considerable influence. Her power rivals that of the prince, but she is still a woman. The prince holds the moral high ground, and it's natural for Black Crane Immortal to side with him.

This is a sample text.

With the situation still uncertain, each side began to have ulterior motives.

Liu Ji did not suspect anything amiss and, feigning ignorance, said, "Master Qin is indeed wise. Jiangzhou is a mountainous region with dense forests, so a delay of one or two days is perfectly normal... Please ask General Mu to proceed slowly. This way, the timing will be just right, it seems Heaven itself is helping me!"

"There's no rush for this," Qin Sang waved his hand, "General Mu is already close by. We can send someone out of the city to inform him tomorrow, and tonight we can go over the plan. Tomorrow, you can take me to get familiar with the county town so that we don't panic later."

And He County has a strict curfew, and they were unfamiliar faces. It wasn't easy for them to go out at night.

"Yes!"

The next day, until dusk, Qin Sang and Liu Ji returned to the shop. They swaggered around He Ning County for a few laps, mainly observing the city defenses and the residences of the county magistrate, Chu Dazhuang, and others. Qin Sang also carefully inquired about their daily routines.

"You guard the outside."

Qin Sang instructed Shui Houzi and then pointed at Liu Ji, "Please trouble Mr. Liu to bring someone over to get my token and deliver a message to General Mu outside the city."

Liu Ji hurried away and then back, leading someone in and knocking on Qin Sang's door.

"Come in and close the door."

Two people gently pushed open the door, turned around to close it just as they were about to, suddenly everything went black and they lost consciousness.

Qin Sang's figure flashed behind Liu Ji, supporting the bodies of the two. He gently and carefully moved the bodies to a back room, waiting for Yama to draw out their souls and begin the interrogation.

Liu Ji really did collude with Wang Liu, and it was the order passed down by the scholar in white. Qin Sang sneered, but there wasn't a shred of fear in his heart.

He didn't aspire to hold office for a lifetime, nor did he care who became emperor. However, the county princess promised him the privilege of being enthroned on Mount Zhaosheng, so in his eyes, there was only the county princess.

This year alone, countless Blood Garment Building colleagues have died at his hands. Anyone who stands in his way is killed.

This is a paragraph. It's the end of the paragraph.

Today, let alone Liu Ji, even if the scholar in white came himself, I would kill him.

Continuing to question, Liu Ji still remained honest. The entire plan was not much different from what he had said before, but Liu Ji did not tell the truth about the whereabouts of his subordinates.

Qin Sang carefully memorized each person's features. Late at night, he changed into his night attire and left home.

Qin Sang ended Liu Ji's personal guard with a single palm strike. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shui Houzi, his voice cold: "Liu Ji has rebelled and secretly joined theα Emperor, trying to betray us. I have killed him. His men are untrustworthy. These are their hiding places, leave none alive, dispose of the bodies cleanly, and after you're done, meet me at the city gate."

Zheng Kun and the water monkey didn't say a word, immediately taking their orders and leaving.

Qin Sang urged his Shadowless Steps, silently approaching the county office alone.

County magistrate Li Ji resided within the county office. Mang Monk's mansion was not far from the county office, and Qin Sang's primary target was Mang Monk.

The guard around the county office was noticeably stricter than in other places, but these militiamen and government officials could only prevent ordinary people. It's impossible for them to detect Qin Sang's whereabouts.

In the vast mansion, only Monk Mang and a few servants resided. Qin Sang easily found Monk Mang's dwelling. Mang was skilled in martial arts, so Qin Sang, unwilling to take risks, stopped outside the room.

Just as they were about to put the King of Hell inside, a long howl suddenly echoed from within the room.

"Who dares disturb me!"

The sound was like a bolt from the blue. Qin Sang's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy. He quickly bit his tongue, the sharp pain bringing him back to his senses. A sense of foreboding overwhelmed him as he hastily retreated.

The next moment, Qin Sang felt an incredibly violent aura appear out of thin air in the room, surging towards him.

'Boom!'

A blazing fist smashed into the wall, creating a large gaping hole. It carried with it a scorching and ferocious aura, charging straight towards Qin Sang's hiding place. The ground paved with blue stone was directly punched out by the fist shadow, forming a deep pit.

Gravel flew everywhere, and withered leaves swirled.

Qi is released externally!

Qin Sang's complexion changed slightly. Had Mang Monk already broken through to the Innate realm

No, there are two people in the room!

An old monk walked out from a broken wall, followed by a tall and stout fat monk. This fat monk was the mighty monk Zhu Dajang.

Qin Sang didn't know the old monk. He looked just like an ordinary elderly man, with wrinkles all over his face and a withered appearance. However, when Qin Sang faced him, he felt an imminent sense of crisis, his hairs standing on end.

This lean frame concealed a surprising amount of energy.

Qin Sang had never met anyone who could give him this feeling. Even Yue Lao and Bai Jianglan were not as good as this old monk.

The rough monk glared at Qin Sang with his tiger eyes and said coldly, "Master, this person might be a pawn of the rebellious traitor!"

The master of Monk Mang, the abbot of the Luohan Hall at Xuanji Temple, Yuanjue!

Qin Sang's mind flashed, realizing he had kicked an iron plate. Yuanjue Shangren was the most prominent expert in Xuanji Temple. Some speculated that Yuanjue Shangren had already reached the Innate Realm. Now it seemed to be true.nder Hawk can transform into a human form. Facing two nascent stage cultivators at the same time, even if the Swallowing Thunder Hawk could transform, it being forced to reveal its true form to fight...
