All that could be seen in the distance were men in black who were desperately fleeing; without exception, each of them was decapitated.
Their bodies, like puppets with their strings cut, fell straight and heavily to the cold ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Blood gushed out like a raging fountain from their severed necks.
It spread rapidly across the ground, staining a large area of land red, and the entire street looked like a pool of blood.
The stench of blood grew stronger and stronger in the air, lingering there.
Shortly after Janet had killed all the men in black,
Several sharp whooshing sounds came rapidly from afar.
Upon hearing the sound, Wei Changxuan looked up and saw Jiang Luzhong, dressed in the golden gong attire of a night watchman, leading a group of night watchmen who were quickly approaching.
"Jiang Jinluo!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Wei Changxuan nodded slightly and spoke calmly.
"Young Master Wei! I'm currently handling some errands on the street nearby."
Noticing the unusual commotion, they immediately led their men over.
What happened here?
Although Jiang Luzhong was not at the night watchman's office today, he witnessed Wei Changxuan's formidable strength firsthand.
But he had already heard about the various descriptions of Wei Changxuan from his colleagues.
Upon seeing each other again, his eyes couldn't help but show a scrutinizing look.
Moreover, there was an unconscious increase in respect in his words.
He was a pure martial artist at heart, and in his heart, the respect for personal strength far outweighed the importance he placed on background and connections.
This is also the key to Wei Changxuan's ability to earn his respect.
"These people tried to assassinate me, but I have already killed them all."
The rest is up to Jiang Jinluo to handle.
Wei Changxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he spoke slowly and deliberately to Jiang Luzhong.
"Of course, this is our duty as night watchmen, please rest assured, Young Master Wei!"
I will definitely investigate this thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation!
Jiang Luzhong immediately straightened his back and solemnly guaranteed.
Moreover, as he investigated, he discovered that among these assassins there was actually a fourth-rank martial artist and two fifth-rank martial artists.
This formidable combination of forces didn't even manage to harm Wei Changxuan in the slightest?!
This caused a great shock to rise in Jiang Luzhong's heart.
He really couldn't understand how Wei Changxuan had managed to kill these experts.
Doesn't this mean that if Wei Changxuan wanted to, Jiang Luzhong would probably have to die here?
Upon realizing this, Jiang Luzhong was suddenly startled.
However, he then heard Wei Changxuan's reply.
"No need to investigate further, I already have a general idea of who the mastermind is."
As Wei Changxuan spoke, he raised his hand and gently grabbed a handful of crossbow bolts that the assassins had just used.
Wei Changxuan and Jiang Luzhong stared at the military crossbow bolt in front of them.
Jiang Luzhong's expression instantly turned serious.
They exchanged a glance, and in their hearts they understood everything.
After all, possessing military crossbows is a serious crime punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of one's entire family.
Unless, of course, the crossbow bolts originated from the military camp.
Who has such extraordinary abilities to get such a thing out of the military camp?
The answer is self-evident; it's nothing more than those powerful and influential figures.
At this moment, a deep killing intent flashed in Wei Changxuan's eyes.
His gaze fell upon the majestic palace in the distance, and he gave a cold smile.
If it weren't for Emperor Yuanjing's verbal hints and tacit indulgence,
How dare those guys so openly use military crossbows?
A public attack and murder in broad daylight?!
However, Wei Changxuan knew in his heart that now was not the time to completely confront Emperor Yuanjing.
After all, at this time, Emperor Yuanjing still had a third-rank martial artist clone and a second-rank wizard main body!
But he firmly believed that it wouldn't be long before he would make Emperor Yuanjing pay a heavy price for what happened today!
After calming himself down, Wei Changxuan began to speak:
"Jiang Jinluo, then I'll have to trouble you!"
I'll definitely treat you to drinks another day when I have time!
Farewell! "
After saying this, he bowed to Jiang Luzhong, and then, with Janet in tow, boarded the carriage again.
Inside the carriage, Qingniao and Xu Lingyue had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing Wei Changxuan return unharmed, the two women breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
"Brother Xuan, are you okay?"
Xu Lingyue asked softly, her voice gentle and her eyes full of concern.
The bluebird beside him, though silent, kept its concerned gaze fixed on Wei Changxuan.
His eyes were full of worry and concern.
Wei Changxuan gently shook his head at the two women, a reassuring smile on his face, and softly comforted them.
Once the two women calmed down a bit.
Wei Changxuan sat down in the carriage, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
Today's assassination attempt, coupled with the words my uncle spoke to me earlier today, made me reflect on the situation.
Wei Changxuan concluded that these assassins were most likely sent by the officials whose sons had gone missing.
Their aim was not to take their own lives, but to capture them alive and force them to reveal the whereabouts of their son.
However, based on the intelligence Wei Changxuan currently possesses, it is highly likely that the mysterious figure has appeared.
If that person's words.
Those children of officials are probably all dead by now.
After all, that person had a blood feud with them.
Having figured these things out, Wei Changxuan stopped dwelling on it.
Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. The most important thing right now is to accumulate shock value and improve our own strength.
Only in this way can one gain a foothold in this ever-changing and unpredictable world and realize one's ambitions.
"Let me see how many shock points I've earned this time!"
Wei Changxuan pondered to himself, a hint of anticipation appearing on his face. He quickly brought up the system panel in his mind.
The next second, when he saw the shock value displayed on the system, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes...
Chapter 35 Lottery [Net of Heaven], Sky Shuttle, Century Soup!
Inside the slightly swaying carriage, Wei Changxuan gently closed his eyes.
He seemed to be lost in deep thought.
But in fact,
His mind was already completely absorbed in the system interface.
Keep a close eye on the shock value that appears.
The numbers that come into view
In an instant, his heart skipped a beat, and then an irrepressible joy welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"In just one day, I earned over six thousand shock points!"
It's almost seven thousand!
Adding the little bit left over from before, it's enough for seven draws, which is almost a ten-draw!
Sure enough, only by displaying one's divine abilities in public can one reap such a rich reward!
Wei Changxuan's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the various scenes of today.
He demonstrated it to his uncle at the night watchman's office, which gave the uncle a slight shock.
He then killed Zhu Chengzhu, and without sustaining any injuries, he withstood the full force of Zhu Yang, a fourth-rank martial artist, and killed him.
This left everyone in the entire night watchman's office utterly shocked.
Then he was assassinated on a bustling street.
With the strength he displayed, plus the extraordinary strength Janet displayed.
This instantly threw the assassins into disarray, their faces filled with disbelief.
When Jiang Luzhong arrived with the night watchman, the shock on his face when he saw the corpse of a fourth-rank martial artist on the ground was beyond words.
"I wonder what kind of treasures we'll be able to win in this lottery?"
Wei Changxuan pondered to himself, his excitement surging like a tidal wave.
Unable to contain themselves any longer, they eagerly started the lottery.
"Congratulations, host, you have consumed 7,000 Shock Points and gained 7 chances to draw a prize."
