Chapter 1056: Chapter 664: Capture! Plundering the Treasure Vault!

"The old servant has not asked yet, he said the ancestors all came out in a hurry and didn’t leave any words."

The steward answered cautiously.

"To be able to infiltrate Zhou Tian City and assassinate a Primordial Spirit Great Power, there are not many forces in the world with such capability, except for the three major forces of the Demon Domain, the Magic Domain, and the Netherworld Palace.

And the most likely is the Netherworld Palace."

After calming down, the middle-aged beautiful woman began to analyze.

She had a profound experience with the energy of the Netherworld Palace.

In the past, she had put a bounty on the assassination of Nangong Family’s Nangong Yuanwu, and later that old guy was nearly assassinated in Nangong Family’s territory, and it’s said he is still in a severely injured state until now.

From that time on, the middle-aged beautiful woman deeply realized the terror of the Netherworld Palace.

Now that Gong Shulian, that old thing, has been assassinated, the biggest possibility is that someone put a bounty on his life in the Netherworld Palace.

Only the assassins from that place would have the ability to silently infiltrate Zhou Tian City and carry out such an assassination.

Unfortunately, she is now confined on the Peak of Quiet Shadows, unable to go out, unable to interfere with the numerous former industries, and no longer has the ability to put out another bounty.

Otherwise, she would definitely issue another assassination task to let Nangong Yuanwu, that old thing, die completely and avenge her Yu Er.

Just as the middle-aged beautiful woman was harboring resentment in her heart, a voice suddenly rang out: "You have some insight, knowing it’s the Netherworld Palace carrying out the assassination."

"Who?!"

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, the middle-aged beautiful woman was greatly startled.

The steward beside her turned pale even more, trying to shield the madam.

However, just as his figure moved, he felt a surge of murderous Sword Qi attacking him.

That Sword Intent was unparalleled in sharpness, as if it could slice through heaven and earth, utterly irresistible.

The steward was shocked, his Mana barely moved before Sword Qi pierced his forehead, obliterating his Divine Soul, completely falling.

As for the middle-aged beautiful woman, she couldn’t even see Lu Qing’s face clearly before being collected into the Leaving Fire Tripod.

After sealing the middle-aged beautiful woman into the Leaving Fire Tripod, Lu Qing then looked at the steward, whose eyes were dim and vitality extinguished.

The reason for killing this person was because he had probed some information from the maid’s Divine Soul at the foot of the mountain, knowing this was a guy undeserving of life, thus he dealt with him in passing.

After collecting the steward’s body, Lu Qing did not leave immediately but sent a thread of Heart and Spirit into the Leaving Fire Tripod.

When he had slain the steward, the surrounding space had already been sealed, with not a trace of breath leaking out, temporarily not attracting external attention.

And this Peak of Quiet Shadows, usually nobody comes, so it’s considered a temporary safe place.

Inside the Leaving Fire Tripod, the middle-aged beautiful woman was trapped in a Space Cage, feeling the endless dark void around, her expression terrified.

But quickly, her expression slowly calmed down again.

As a direct lineage madam of the Gongsu Family, although her cultivation was only in the mid Golden Core stage, she was not lacking in insight.

She already realized that she was now inside the space of a certain Spiritual Artifact.

"Indeed, worthy of the second house’s direct lineage madam, it’s somewhat resolute."

Lu Qing’s figure suddenly appeared in the void.

Of course, the image he presented was not his true appearance, but rather wearing a black cloak and donning a Ghost Face Mask.

"Since sir caught me here instead of directly killing me, clearly there’s a matter to discuss, so why should this madam panic."

The middle-aged beautiful woman’s expression became calmer, looking at Lu Qing.

"Then guess, what is my purpose in bringing you here?" Lu Qing asked with interest.

"If this madam guesses correctly, sir should be the mysterious strongman who assassinated Gong Shulian, that old guy, right?"

"Indeed, it’s me." Lu Qing did not deny it.

"Sir assassinated Gong Shulian, your cultivation is incredibly deep, but those old guys in the Gongsu Family are not easy to deal with either.

Now they have activated the Circulation Star Array, even a seasoned Primordial Spirit Great Power finds it difficult to break out and leave.

User infiltrating the Inner City must be searching for a way out, correct?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman stared tightly at Lu Qing.

Her face seemed calm, but she was actually extremely nervous.

She never thought that this terrifying assassin could avoid the perception of so many ancestors and sneak into the Inner City.

Unfortunately, she was now trapped in the Spiritual Artifact Space, unable to secretly convey messages even if she desired.

Right now, she could only pray that her guess was correct, so that she would still be of some use to this mysterious assassin.

"So, can you help me?" Lu Qing said lightly.

"Certainly, if sir wants to leave, I can help you!" The middle-aged beautiful woman said without hesitation.

No matter the possibility, she must preserve her life now.

However, what she didn’t expect was Lu Qing’s eyes revealing an ambiguous expression: "You are smart, but unfortunately, I am not here looking for a way out; I came specifically for you."

"Specifically for me?"

Upon hearing this, a surge of fear suddenly arose in the middle-aged beautiful woman’s heart.

She was about to say something, but it was too late, as a Divine Soul Fluctuation had already landed in her Forehead Acupoint.

Instantly, infinite illusions began to engulf her.

The time in the Illusion Space passed extremely fast; with only the Golden Core stage in the middle-aged beautiful woman’s Divine Soul Will, she was completely unable to resist the invasion of Lu Qing’s Illusion Technique.
