This guy's got it!
Upon seeing the sword intent in the other's eyes Wei Gongcheng almost instinctively took a step back!
He hadn't met Tian Heng many times, but he wasn't unfamiliar with him. Back when he was still under the command of Duke Yuchi, he had heard the Duke speak highly of this youngest Duke of Duke of Qi on several occasions.
He is a very capable and ambitious person, but when you see him, you always feel that he is the most harmless one because he always acts very humble.
When he says he's only a few percent sure, you'd better not believe him, because that means he's almost absolutely certain!
Wei Gongcheng swallowed hard. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for the first time, he saw sword intent emerge from the depths of someone's eyes. For a moment, he had the illusion that the person in front of him wasn't the gloomy Duke of Qi, but a sword, a very pure sword!
What's going on?
"Lord Wei, please rest assured," Tian Heng said with a smile. "I know this move is very risky, but if I'm confident, I've never been one to take unnecessary risks!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Gongcheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to General Tian."
His attitude was very proper; despite his position as the First Underworld, he treated Tian Heng with the respect due to a subordinate. This attitude proved something, and it already greatly pleased Tian Heng.
"Lord Wei, there's no need for such formalities. We are colleagues, both serving our lord!"
After Tian Heng finished speaking, he returned the greeting and disappeared from the spot in the next instant.
Wei Gongcheng watched Tian Heng leave with an extremely complicated expression. That was definitely not Tian Heng's power. That power was purer than any other strong person he had ever seen. It was something that a deep-thinking person like Tian Heng could not have cultivated. There was only one possibility.
Ao Zhen
What happened to Ao Zhen in the South Sea?
Upon realizing this, Wei Gongcheng quickly gathered his spiritual power, wanting to inform the Shen Family about the situation. However, just as his spiritual power gathered, he suddenly felt a chill down his back. He tried to react, but it was too late.
Almost instantly, he froze into an ice sculpture on the spot.
He could guess who it was without even turning around.
With his spiritual power, it was unlikely that anyone could approach him so silently. If someone with such assassination skills had infiltrated, Jiangnan would have collapsed long ago. Excluding high-level assassins, there was only one possibility.
Wei Gongzhan.
No, it should be the King of Qin!
"I really didn't expect that." The King of Qin stepped forward and looked in the direction Tian Heng had left, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling gaze.
He had seen the sword intent in the other party's eyes just now, and honestly, even he himself probably couldn't withstand that power if it were used!
What is that?
What exactly did Chen Qing do this time?
What just happened?
A familiar female voice suddenly appeared. Wei Gongcheng was unable to move at this moment, but he was very certain that it was the voice of the Eldest Princess!
The woman's presence here confirms it; she's followed me into the Underworld passage.
"What method did you use?" Wei Gongcheng asked coldly.
" Flying Star," the King of Qin said calmly.
"I see." Wei Gongcheng instantly understood the principle.
If we're talking about spatial techniques that can penetrate Yin and Yang, then Flying Star is definitely the strongest one. Back then, Wang Ye was just a Third Rank sorcerer, yet he could use Flying Star to cross the Yin-Yang Road. Once this technique is mastered, leaving a mark in the Underworld and teleporting the Princess is not impossible.
"But you are not the Lord of the Evening Elephant, how can you use Flying Star?"
"Forbidden power," the King of Qin said calmly. "It can store other people's techniques. Although it's a one-time use and comes at a high cost, it's indeed useful in crucial moments."
Does the King of Qin still have this ability?
Wei Gongcheng noted it down in his mind, then asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What are you trying to do by going to such lengths to extract information?" The King of Qin replied without turning his head, "I cannot let you live. Although you are very capable, I'm sorry, this plan is too important, and a talent like you must be destroyed."
Wei Gongcheng was taken aback upon hearing this, but then laughed and said, "To receive such praise from His Lord King of Qin, I consider my death worthwhile."
"That's good." The King of Qin clenched his fist, and the freezing power spread rapidly, freezing every trace of Wei Gongcheng within it.
The eldest princess, observing this, said coldly, "This power of yours is very ominous!"
"There's no other way. If you want to win, you have to be willing to die." As the King of Qin spoke, a sense of destitution began to spread across his face—a destitution in the physical sense.
The eldest princess immediately understood. "The power of the golem again? Don't you know how dangerous that thing is?"
No matter how dangerous the future may be, it can't compare to the present. No matter how high the interest rates are, the money still has to be borrowed, because people always have to live in the present!
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess gave the other person a deep look, and finally nodded, saying, "That's true."
"However, there's been a slight surprise now."
" Tian Heng's power?" the eldest princess asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," the King of Qin nodded. " Jiangnan is vulnerable internally, which is a great opportunity. Wei Gongcheng is the only person they can offer. Originally, we thought that as long as we could get rid of him, Jiangnan would be completely under our control. But Tian Heng, the power he displayed just now was far greater than before."
The eldest princess nodded in agreement. She knew Tian Heng's strength; he was not weak, but if she were to personally take action, he could only last three moves at most!
But things are different now. Just look at that sword intent from before... I'm afraid...
"An unknown expert, and with considerable ambition, this is getting troublesome. You felt that power just now; ask yourself honestly, are you confident you can win?"
"No." The eldest princess shook her head directly.
"Your Highness is quite frank."
"At this point, am I supposed to put on a brave face even when I'm not?"
"What does Your Highness think we should do now?"
"Let's wait and see," the eldest princess sighed softly. "This power is beyond Tian Heng's control. Let Lan Shang test its strength first!"

"Elder brother!!"
In a black and white space, someone suddenly woke up. It was none other than Wei Gongzhan!
This is
Wei Gongzhan looked around abruptly. The bizarre scenery made him immediately realize that this was not Great Azure Mountain, nor even any world he knew.
Oh no!
Wei Gongzhan stood up, intending to get up, but a gentle voice sounded beside him.
"Don't rush things. Your brother left something in your body, and the side effects might be quite severe. You'd better behave yourself for now, or there could be serious problems."
"Huh?" Wei Gongzhan was taken aback and quickly turned his head, only to see a handsome man dressed in black sitting next to him.
He knew this man.
Although he had always been a nobody, and was just an illegitimate son when he was in the capital, that official often visited the common people, and he had the honor of assisting him in solving cases.
" Wang Ye??"
