Ye Liuyun went to the restaurant and found a free table to sit down, ordered some food and drinks, and ate and drank leisurely while listening to the martial arts cultivators chatting, just to relax for himself.
All he heard were some martial arts cultivators discussing what happened to the Hou Mansion.
"The news in the Hou Mansion has been blocked recently. I heard from the servants of the Hou Mansion that something happened in the Hou Mansion. It is said that the prince is dead!"
"It's very possible! I also heard that in one day, the consciousness of many masters in the palace disappeared! Didn't you see that they have been recruiting masters of the sixth and seventh levels recently?"
"What's so strange about this? I've heard a long time ago that the prince went to kill Ye Liuyun outside the territory, but he was killed instead!"
"This Ye Liuyun is not simple! He turned the West upside down, and yet he managed to escape unscathed! He is worthy of being the princess's personal bodyguard. It is said that he is only at the early stage of the third level..."
Often these people are very knowledgeable about gossip.
Ye Liuyun was also thinking in his mind: "It is estimated that the information about Hou Yuanqi's death was blocked by Hou Tianyu, but finally could not be blocked, and it was only spread out at this time. It is better to take action as soon as possible, lest the Hou Mansion recruits more masters!"
After Ye Liuyun finished eating, he sat for a while and didn't hear any more useful news, so he got up and returned to the inn. That night, he left his residence again in the void to search for the targets he wanted to attack.
The patrols in the outer city are much looser than those in the inner city, making it easier for Ye Liuyun to attack them here.
Some of the guards and servants in the Marquis' mansion would go to the outer city to spend money, which they could not afford in the inner city. Moreover, most of these people's families lived in the outer city, and they often came home to visit.
He went to several houses in a row but couldn't find anyone. It was probably because those people didn't come back by chance. According to the memory of a guard, he went to the casino again, and sure enough, he met the guard's nephew, Qi Wei.
This Qi Wei's level is the same as that of Ye Liuyun. He is just an ordinary patrolling guard in the prince's palace. He is addicted to gambling. He was introduced to the palace by a master guard who was captured by Ye Liuyun through his connections.
There were many sixth- and seventh-level martial arts cultivators in the casino, but Ye Liuyun did not take action rashly, so he sneaked into the casino and stayed at the gambling table with Qi Wei, waiting for him to leave.
But his momentum is definitely different, and every time he bets a little, Ye Liuyun doesn't care about winning or losing at all, it's just a waste of time.
So he attracted Qi Wei's attention. Qi Wei saw that Ye Liuyun was probably a rich man, so he deliberately got close to him. Ye Liuyun also seemed to like making friends very much, and they got along well with him, and even lent him money.
He has one hundred pieces of middle-grade divine crystals.
It was not until dawn that Qi Wei lost all his money and left the casino with Ye Liuyun.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a little magic crystal. You don't need to pay it back! Come on, come and find a restaurant with me to have a drink. I happen to be a little hungry!"
Ye Liuyun generously waived his loan and invited him to eat and drink with him. Naturally, Qi Wei would not refuse such a good thing. He thought that the uniform of a Hou Mansion guard on his body had played a role. Ye Liuyun wanted to ask him for something.
He was still thankful in his heart that he was lucky enough to have met someone who was taken advantage of. Maybe he could borrow money from Ye Liuyun to gamble again in the future.
But he was not happy for long. Before he could reach the restaurant, Ye Liuyun walked to a remote place and attacked him directly.
With the power of Ye Liuyun's soul, it was too easy to control him. After searching for the soul, he took him into the space world, then changed his appearance, put on his clothes and storage ring, and returned to the Hou Mansion.
Now he doesn't need to show his token when he enters the city. The soldiers guarding the city all know the guards of the Marquis Mansion.
The leading soldier also greeted him: "Master Qi, how are you doing today?"
The guards of the Marquis Mansion have a higher status than the soldiers guarding the city, so they are collectively called "Sir".
"Oh, don't mention it! I have too many ideas today!" Ye Liuyun also said hello to him and went directly into the inner city.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, the soldier guessed that he had lost again, so he did not dare to go up to flatter him, so as not to offend him.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, the guard guard also recognized him, said hello casually, and let him in.
"Yes, everything went well!" After Ye Liuyun entered the Hou Mansion, he also returned to his own residence to wait for the opportunity based on Qi Wei's memory.
Qi Wei is not on duty today and cannot wander around the palace immediately.
So after Ye Liuyun sneaked into the palace, he rested for a day before catching up on duty and patrolling the palace with several other guards.
During their inspection, Ye Liuyun saw clearly the situation in many places that had been defended by formations before. He even saw the Marquis of Tianyu who was practicing.
The realm of Tianyuhou is at the sixth level of Taixu. His soul power is relatively average and he is not considered a very strong martial artist. He probably has too many things to do and can't take care of his cultivation.
Outside Tianyu Hou's training room, there is a martial arts cultivator wearing an invisible treasure guarding him. Ye Liuyun can't see anyone, but he can see his soul figure. It is estimated that the invisible guard is much stronger than Tianyu Hou
.
The training room he was in also had defense formations. Ye Liuyun definitely couldn't take action in this situation and would need to find another opportunity.
There are indeed not many strong martial artists in the Hou Mansion, only about twenty in total. Ye Liuyun sent their image information to the prisoners in the space world to see, and they all confirmed that these people were all newly recruited.
Ye Liuyun walked around and roughly understood the information and strength of these people.
"It's okay, it's not too difficult, and there are no martial arts practitioners with strong soul power!"
He selected a martial artist with relatively weak soul power as the target on the spot. When they were patrolling the third circle, Ye Liuyun was ready to take action.
"Huh?" As he was walking, he suddenly seemed to find something and couldn't help but stop.
"What happened? What did you find?" Several other guards immediately asked.
"I see that there are fluctuations in space power in that direction. It doesn't seem to be coming from inside the room, but coming from outside." Ye Liuyun was talking about the residence of the target he selected.
Several other guards also frowned, and one of them confirmed with him: "Isn't it because you have lost too much recently and are hallucinating? If you offend such a strong person, I'm afraid you will get a beating at least.
If it’s serious, you won’t even be able to save your life!”
"This... the feeling just now was obviously very clear. But now it's gone!" Ye Liuyun also pretended to be unsure.
Several other guards also looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe him or not.
"Let's do this. You wait for me here and I'll go ask. Nothing big will happen!" Ye Liuyun also made a suggestion.
The other guards immediately agreed: "Okay, be smart and don't offend anyone with your words!" They were all afraid of being implicated by him.
So Ye Liuyun walked over alone.
Chapter completed!
