Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"This kid really did sense something too..."

Seeing Lu Feng remain silent and wary, Xu Liancheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

"President!"

"Brother Xu!"

Just as the atmosphere became slightly tense, Mondo and Zhang Miaoling stepped forward and bowed to Xu Liancheng.

Although both of them were sixth-grade alchemists and had a good reputation in the four kingdoms of Lingnan, they were still several streets behind Xu Liancheng in front of them!

After all, the other party is not only the current president of the Alchemist Guild, but also the number one medicine king of the four kingdoms of Lingnan!

Even Ren Tianxing, the emperor of Dongyun Kingdom, dared not be negligent towards Xu Liancheng, let alone the two mere vice presidents.

"Mondor, Wonderful Spirit."

"You two have worked hard in this alchemy competition."

Xu Liancheng glanced back at the two of them, nodded slightly, and then said in a meaningful tone, "As for the trouble that follows, I will handle it myself. You two can rest over there."

"trouble?"

"What's the trouble?"

Faced with Xu Liancheng's instructions, Mondo and Zhang Miaoling were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with puzzled expressions, as if they did not quite understand the meaning behind each other's words.

"Young Master Lu, this person doesn't exude any killing intent. He's most likely not here for you, so there's no need to be so tense..."

Deep within the treasure basin, Gu Canyang's voice echoed faintly, causing Lu Feng's heart to skip a beat.

"Ancient, are you sure?"

Lu Feng took a deep breath, somewhat puzzled, and said, "This person is not only a seventh-grade alchemist, but his cultivation has also reached the Yuanhai Realm. With his strength and methods, it shouldn't be difficult for him to hide his killing intent, right?"

"Silly boy!"

Hearing Lu Feng question his judgment, Gu Canyang snorted coldly again, then said somewhat irritably, "As the saying goes, those who are destined to die will eventually die, and those who are destined to live will eventually live."

"Given this person's cultivation level and strength, if he truly intended to make a move, why would he be hiding anything now? You'd probably be meeting the King of Hell long ago!"

"That...that makes sense!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng frowned slightly and was speechless for a moment.

"Young Master Lu, your enemy is not me, but someone else..."

Just as Lu Feng was stunned, he saw Xu Liancheng's figure flash by and appear in front of him. At the same time, he raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a strange smile.

"What?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, but then he saw Xu Liancheng's face gradually turn cold and stern, and at the same time, a murderous aura suddenly erupted from his body, "Those guys are here....!"

"ah...!"

Just as Xu Liancheng unleashed his killing intent, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the crowd in the square outside the hall.

Bang!

The next moment, a middle-aged man dressed in dark official robes collapsed to the ground. His face was pale and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. At the same time, a poisoned dart was stuck in his chest, which was a vital point for his heart. He had obviously died from the poison!

"Dead...dead?!"

"This person appears to be Minister Liu of the Ministry of Works!"

"Who dares to lay a hand on an official of the imperial court? This is utterly outrageous!"

Upon seeing Minister Liu instantly killed by an arrow, a commotion of shock erupted from the crowd. Everyone looked around, seemingly trying to find the murderer.

call out!call out!call out!

However, before everyone could recover, a large number of hidden weapons and darts suddenly attacked from all sides of the square, and the attack was fierce and deadly!

"ah...!"

"ah...!"

"ah...!"

In an instant, screams echoed everywhere. The high-ranking officials and scions of noble families present were caught off guard, and many died or were injured. In no time, the entire square was covered in blood.

"kill!"

Just as the crowd in the square descended into chaos, a chilling shout rang out once more from afar.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The next moment, a large number of men in black suddenly rushed out from all sides of the square and surrounded everyone present. It was clear that they had been lying in wait and intended to wipe everyone out!

"Strange, where did these guys come from...?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng frowned slightly, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart. "And even my Yuan Power perception couldn't detect it, this shouldn't be possible...!"

"Hmph! Nothing's impossible. These people are carrying special magical artifacts that can shield them from the perception of Yuan energy, which is why you didn't notice them at all just now..."

Gu Canyang's reminder rang in his ears again, causing Lu Feng to narrow his eyes slightly. "Heh, this is interesting..."

"Not only were they perfectly prepared, but their ambush was also so deep. It seems these guys are clearly planning a massacre, leaving no survivors...!"

"Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong target today...!"

Lu Feng glanced at the group of men in black who exuded murderous intent around him, and he also activated his internal energy to protect himself, revealing his killing intent!

The group of men in black in front of them were not only all masked and armed with knives, but also quite strong. Even the weakest among them had the cultivation of the sixth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, which was not comparable to ordinary martial artists!

In addition, the team of men in black worked together very well, as if they were a group of top-notch assassins who had undergone rigorous training. They were not only quick and ruthless in their attacks, but also deadly in every move!

However, with Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation, a mere group of assassins at the Qi Opening Realm, no matter how many of them there are, cannot do anything to him!

...

Outside the hall, in the square

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect His Majesty!"

At this moment, faced with the sudden attack by a group of men in black, not only was the entire crowd thrown into chaos, but even the Imperial Guards on guard were on high alert and immediately moved towards the direction where Ren Tianxing was.

As the saying goes, "If you take someone's money, you have to work for them!"

These Imperial Guards soldiers not only relied on the Emperor's favor but were also Ren Tianxing's trusted bodyguards. Naturally, they could not allow these men in black of unknown origin to go on a killing spree and disturb the Emperor's presence.

"Insects, you're asking for death!"

In the midst of the chaos, Chen Jinnan swept his spear, piercing the heart of a man in black. Then, he stomped on the ground, transforming into a golden beam of light and landing beside Ren Tianxing.

"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me!"

Chen Jinnan knelt on one knee, bowed his head in greeting, and a hint of unease appeared on his face.

"Chen Jinnan, I ask you, where did these assassins come from?"

Faced with Chen Jinnan's lone rescue, Ren Tianxing frowned slightly, his tone gradually turning cold and stern, "What exactly have you been doing all this time, Commander of the Imperial Guards?! You've allowed a group of assassins of unknown origin to infiltrate the capital without anyone noticing...!"

"Your humble servant deserves to die!"

Seeing Ren Tianxing's furious expression, Chen Jinnan's face also turned ugly. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, unsure of how to respond.

Even he, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was puzzled as to how these men in black, of unknown origin, managed to infiltrate the imperial city without being noticed by anyone.

In addition, the group of black-clad men who suddenly attacked were numerous, numbering at least a thousand, and each of them was a master at the sixth level of the Qi Opening Realm.

Looking at the entire capital, even if the current imperial family and its imperial guards were all combined, they could not send out so many experts in such a short time!

"You dog emperor, die!"

Just as Ren Tianxing was furious and about to demand an explanation, a man in black suddenly emerged from a dark corner behind him, brandishing a dagger and stabbing at the man in front of him.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

At the critical moment, Old Han, who was standing to the side, also shouted coldly. He raised his hand and shattered the dagger in the black-clad man's hand with a single palm strike. At the same time, he spread his five fingers slightly to form a claw and grabbed the latter's neck with his other hand.

"Eighth level of spiritual realm?!"

With his neck held tightly, the man in black's face turned red, and he struggled uncontrollably, but he could not break free from Old Han's grasp.

After all, he was just a mere martial artist at the tenth level of the Qi Opening Realm, no match for Elder Han at all.

"You audacious traitor! You dared to assassinate the Emperor!"

With a sudden, forceful thrust of his right palm, Han Lao levitated the man in black, his expression remaining impassive, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Speak! Who sent you?!"

"Damn that old bastard...!"

"Even if you kill me, you won't escape death today... uh!"

Seemingly aware that he was doomed, the man in black showed no fear. Instead, he gave a cold laugh and suddenly bit off his own tongue.

"This person is even willing to die to avoid exposing his master?"

Seeing the man in black bite his tongue and commit suicide, Ren Tianxing frowned slightly, while Elder Han and Chen Jinnan beside him also looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy!
