Xu Fengzhe has always felt restless these days.
Indulge in the mood during the day, spending money like earth. It seems that he is still the drunken prince of Beiliang. But when the night is late, the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness surges into his heart like a tide and cannot be removed.
He often wakes up at night, and always feels that there are eyes lurking in the darkness, which makes his spine chill.
This feeling was not groundless, but originated from his keen perception.
Since the system is bound, his five senses have been greatly improved and his perception of danger has become extremely sensitive.
These days, he could always feel an unusual solemn atmosphere in the air, as if the tranquility before the storm was so depressing that it was breathless.
“System, what’s wrong with you recently?”
Xu Fengzhe silently thought in his heart and asked the system.
The system’s voice was always joking, but it was a little more solemn: “Tsk tsk, the host finally felt something was wrong?
I thought you were addicted to being a loser and were overjoyed.”
“Stop talking nonsense, talk about serious matters.”
Xu Fengzhe was not in the mood to argue with the system, and his tone was a little impatient.
“Okay OK, what a ruthless man.”
The system said in a strange voice, and then his tone changed and became serious. “It was detected that the risk of high-level assassination is approaching, and the danger level is extremely high.
Target: Host Xu Fengzhe, Xu Fengnian.
Assassination organization: Tianwailou.
It is recommended that the host: stop all the prodigal behavior immediately, make every effort to improve its strength, and be fully prepared.”
The system’s early warning made Xu Fengzhe feel terrified. Tianwailou?
He has vaguely heard of this name. It is the top killer organization in the world and is famous for its 100% success rate of missions.
The Liyang royal family actually invited Tianwailou to assassinate the two brothers at any cost. It seems that they really wanted to kill the Northern Liang Palace. “System, what are the ways to quickly improve your strength?” Xu Fengzhe asked anxiously. Time was tight, and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible in order to save his life in the next assassination.
“Tsk, are you cramming for the moment?
But there is no way.”
The system paused and continued, “The system mall has the ‘Cultivation Initiation Pill’, which can directly improve its cultivation for ten years after taking it, but it is expensive and requires a lot of squandering points.
In addition, the host can also choose to go to retreat to practice. The system can provide auxiliary cultivation functions to accelerate the host’s cultivation speed.”
After a brief thought, Xu Fengzhe made a decision: “Redeem the ‘Cultivation Initiation Pill’ and then activate the auxiliary cultivation function. I need to go to retreat!”
Although squandering points are important now, life is more important. He must seize every opportunity to improve his strength.
Xu Fengzhe immediately ordered his servants,The outside world claimed that the prince occasionally felt cold and needed to rest, and refused all visitors.
Then, he entered a secluded courtyard deep in the palace alone and began an emergency retreat.
The retreat area was chosen in the depths of a quiet bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was dense, which was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The environment was quiet and suitable for meditation practice.
Xu Fengzhe sat cross-legged on the cushion and took the “Cultivation Enlightenment Pill” redeemed by the system.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a stream instantly surged throughout his body. The powerful energy rushed into his body, impacting his meridians.
At the same time, the system also activated the auxiliary cultivation function, and an invisible force enveloped Xu Fengzhe, accelerating his absorption of the energy of refining the pills.
“The Indestructible Magic” runs in his body, guiding this huge energy into his flesh and blood, muscles and bones.
Xu Fengzhe closed his eyes tightly and used his skills with all his might, not daring to be distracted at all.
Xu Fengnian was filled with worry when she learned that her brother was going to retreat.
He knew that although his brother was cynical on the surface, he wanted to be stronger in his heart than anyone else.
This sudden retreat must have encountered something difficult.
“No, I can’t let my brother take risks alone.”
Xu Fengnian frowned and made up his mind.
He immediately summoned the escort commander of the royal palace and strengthened the vigilance of the royal palace, especially the defense of Xu Fengzhe’s retreat was a top priority.
He personally inspected the royal palace and arranged defenses, and must be foolproof.
“Your Highness, don’t worry, with us here, you will never let anyone disturb the eldest prince’s retreat.”
The escort commander solemnly assured Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian nodded, his expression still solemn.
He knew that the enemy this time was extraordinary, and the killer of Tianwai Tower was definitely not something that ordinary guards could withstand.
He must be in charge in person to ensure that everything is foolproof.
Jiang Ni also took the initiative to find Xu Fengnian and said firmly, “Fengnian, I want to do something for Brother Fengzhe.”
“Jiang Ni, you…”
Xu Fengnian was a little hesitant. He knew that Jiang Ni was suffering from a deep hatred for blood, and he couldn’t bear to let her participate in such a dangerous thing.
“Feng Nian, you need to say nothing, I understand what you mean.”
Jiang Ni interrupted Xu Feng Nian’s words, his eyes full of determination, “Brother Feng Zhe was involved in these disputes to protect me, and I can’t stand by.
Moreover, my swordsmanship is not useless, at least I can buy some time for Brother Feng Zhe.”
Xu Feng Nian looked at Jiang Ni’s firm eyes, knowing that he could not dissuade her.
He sighed, nodded and said, “Okay, Jiang Ni, then you will protect the Dharma outside your brother’s retreat. If there is any abnormality, immediately warn you.”
Jiang Ni nodded, holding a wood in his handThe sword came outside the bamboo forest where Xu Fengzhe was in seclusion.
