Chapter 51

In the mountains of the secret realm of Dongzhou, in the garrison of the Great Zhou Kingdom,

Chang'an and his companions were resting in the camp.

That night, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, Chang'an used the extremely peculiar martial arts techniques of the Chen family to quietly sneak into an isolated camp.

Inside, two young men were groaning and raging.

"Hmph, that damn Chang'an, he's dead! How dare he try to kill us!"

"That's right, when we get back to the Tianyan Sect, we'll make him pay!"

"We won't rest until we avenge this!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"

"To hell with it, I was planning to enter the secret realm for cultivation, but I never expected to trip and fall!"

In the dim room, Li Hong and Meng Caijun were groaning and cursing Chang'an non-stop.

But in the next moment, a cold sword light suddenly flashed in their pupils... reflecting the figure they feared the most!

It was the man they wanted to devour!

But soon, the two of them fell into eternal darkness!

"Tsk!"

After beheading Li Hong and Meng Caijun, Chang'an took advantage of the darkness to quietly return to his room.

Those two had offended him to the point of death, and Chang'an didn't mind killing them in the middle of the night!

Otherwise, once they returned and recovered, they would come back to cause trouble for him.

Killing was not allowed during the competition, but it didn't mean it wasn't allowed after the competition ended!

When Chang'an returned to his room, he was stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

Chang'an put away the guardian sword in his hand, calmly sat down at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The person in the room was Ji Mingyue.

"Chang'an, did you... go to kill someone?"

Feeling the blood on Chang'an, Ji Mingyue asked worriedly.

Chang'an nodded.

"Then I won't go back tonight. I'll stay here all night."

Ji Mingyue said seriously.

Chang'an was stunned but quickly understood her thoughts.

She wanted to be his witness, to prove that she was with him all night.

After some thought, Chang'an shook his head, "Mingyue, it's not necessary. I don't take the Tianyan Sect seriously."

The Tianyan Sect was just a first-tier sect in Dongxuan Kingdom.

His Chen family was a family that feared no first-tier power in the Great Zhou Kingdom!

"No, I'll stay here tonight. I can't let you be accused of something."

Ji Mingyue said seriously.

"It's fine, I don't mind." Chang'an said.

But seeing Ji Mingyue's stubborn look, he had to nod in agreement.

Instantly, Ji Mingyue's face lit up with joy, "Then I'll sleep on the bed, and you can cultivate beside it."

Chang'an nodded, drank a few sips of tea, and then began to meditate.

The battles over the past two days had made him more proficient in controlling his techniques.

Moreover, his combat experience had become more stable, something that other people of the same age could not achieve.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, when the Southeast Wind Alliance discovered that Li Hong and Meng Caijun were dead, they immediately became agitated.

Especially the rulers of Dongying Kingdom, as the Tianyan Sect was a prestigious sect in their country. With their elites dead, they naturally wanted to stir up some trouble.

And they immediately focused on Chang'an.

Regardless of whether Chang'an did it or not, they didn't want him to get off easily.

So, a large group of dissatisfied elites came to Chang'an's door.

"Chang'an, you are despicable, to sneak and kill Li Hong and Meng Caijun in the middle of the night!"

"That's right, Chang'an, come out! Such despicable actions do not deserve to be a Dongzhou elite!"

"You assassinated the elites of the Tianyan Sect; they won't let you off. You will bear the consequences!"

...

One by one, the young people began to curse wildly.

When Chang'an opened the tent and appeared with Ji Mingyue, looking groggy, everyone outside the tent was stunned.

Even Ji Xuangu and Duanmu Cang, who had rushed over, were stunned.

"Shut up, all of you. It's early in the morning, and you're all crazy!"

Chang'an glanced at everyone and said calmly.

"Princess, what... Oh!" Duanmu Cang hesitated, but immediately, he and Ji Xuangu's old faces broke into smiles.

Ji Mingyue nodded slightly at Duanmu Cang and the old ancestor of the Ji family, then coldly shouted at the rest of the noisy people:

"You said Li Hong and Meng Caijun are dead?

What does it have to do with my Chang'an?"

The others, hearing this, immediately shouted, "Princess Mingyue, those two had a grudge against Chang'an, it must have been Chang'an who killed them!

His actions are despicable, and he does not deserve to be a Dongzhou elite!"

"Tsk, you say Chang'an killed them, where's the evidence?"

Ji Mingyue glanced at everyone, full of imperial dignity, and said disdainfully, "I was with my Chang'an all night. Could he have split himself to kill them?"

Wh... What!

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

They all looked at the two of them in shock.

"What's so surprising? He is my prince, personally betrothed by my father, the emperor. What's so unusual about me and my prince sleeping together?"

Ji Mingyue's every move exuded dignity, but her words were so natural and domineering!

Even Chang'an was stunned.

"That's right, are you all trying to defame our prince?"

Ji Xuangu was delighted and coldly said to all the elites.

Instantly, the pressure on the elites increased.

"Hmph, Chang'an is Princess Mingyue's prince, of course he will favor him. She can't be a fair witness!"

One of the elites shouted loudly.

"That's right, it doesn't count. He must have secretly gone to kill Li Hong and Meng Caijun!"

"Right, we won't accept it!"

"We won't accept such a despicable elite!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

At this moment, Chang'an stepped out, facing the noisy crowd, and said with a cold smile, "Who won't accept it, come and duel!"

He pointed at the one who was不服 (unconvinced), "Is it you who won't accept it? Come, let's have a life-or-death duel!"

That person instantly flinched, stumbling backward, "No, I won't duel with you!"

You must be joking, even an Eighth Rank Heavenly King was beaten by Chang'an, let alone them!

"Tsk, what a joke. If you don't accept it, come and defeat me! Don't just talk nonsense!"

Chang'an shouted loudly, and said with a cold smile, "As for Li Hong and Meng Caijun, they died because they were weak. It has nothing to do with me!

I didn't go to assassinate them last night. I was with my Mingyue all night!"

Chang'an spoke without a hint of embarrassment!

He was not afraid of the Tianyan Sect.

He just didn't want to cause trouble before entering the secret realm.

Otherwise, admitting to assassinating them, what's the big deal!

"Chang'an, a man should stand up for what he does!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

Dong Yinglai, Zhao Tianwei, Zhao Tianli, Nan Zhan, and others came angrily, joining forces.
