Chapter 65

Shao Yi frowned.

No one is home?

He had been waiting for a long time, and there was not a single sound from inside. If someone was there, they would have responded.

Being woken up in the middle of the night, even if they were in a bad mood, they would at least make a sound to ask who it was!

He looked at the barrier enveloping the wooden door. If he were to force his way through, this thing could naturally be torn apart, but it would definitely make some noise.

But if he waited any longer, it would be daylight...

Forget it, let's force our way in!

He drew a short sword from his sleeve and was about to slash it, but a hand held him back.

Feng Kong's voice penetrated the barrier directly.

"Spirit Law Pavilion, Xiao Qi Xiu!"

"Open the door!"

On the other side of the door.

Xu Xiaoshou's scalp instantly tingled. At this moment, he just wanted to turn and run, but he forcibly suppressed the impulse.

This voice, which was twelve parts authentic, if it weren't for "Perception" showing him the appearance of the two people outside the door, he might have really opened the door!

And the one knocking on the door was holding two short swords!

If Xu Xiaoshou couldn't figure out what these two were here for, he might as well find a piece of tofu to bash his head against.

"What's going on?"

"Why would someone want to kill me?!"

Xu Xiaoshou panicked, cold sweat pouring down his face, his thoughts racing, but he still did not speak.

"Perception" was set to the maximum, but the two people at the door still looked like ordinary people, seemingly without any cultivation.

However, Xu Xiaoshou knew that these were at least two Xiantian, and not ordinary ones!

He could instantly detect their Ling cultivation, and the unique aura of Xiantian was also easy to identify.

These two were completely impermeable, indicating they had cultivated some kind of concealment technique.

They might even be professional assassins!

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoshou's expression changed.

The Spirit Palace was protected by a great array, making it impossible for outsiders to infiltrate unless their cultivation was extremely powerful.

But looking at the age of these two, this possibility could be ruled out.

So, where would such powerful Xiantian experts come from?

There was only one answer...

The Inner Courtyard!

Xu Xiaoshou's body involuntarily trembled. How could these Inner Courtyard people come to kill him? Were they crazy?

He racked his brain, feeling a massive death of brain cells at this moment, but he refused to stop reasoning.

If he couldn't get through this tonight, he might really have to give up his life here!

The more he reasoned, the colder his heart became.

According to his understanding, in the previous session, only Su Qianqian entered the Inner Courtyard; in the session before Su Qianqian, no one entered the Inner Courtyard; and further back, he didn't know.

But this was enough!

These two people outside, if they were really Inner Courtyard experts, they would have been Xiantian two or three years ago!

What the hell...

What a joke?

What virtue or ability do I, Xu Xiaoshou, have to deserve your two to come after me?

When did I ever offend you?

Xu Xiaoshou almost fell to his knees. With a basic guess, he "perceived" the two again.

The one in front still had a faint Xiantian aura, but the one behind...

It's over!

At least one was at the peak of the Yuanting realm, and the other was at the Juxu realm, possibly even higher...

Xu Xiaoshou's heart turned icy.

Entering the Xiantian realm, even the gap between the early and mid stages of these two minor realms was incomparable to the entire ten realms of Ling cultivation.

Let alone the fact that these two had far more cultivation than that.

If these weren't Inner Courtyard experts, they were truly death incarnate!

Xu Xiaoshou was not so arrogant as to think that after drawing two Xiantian passive skills and comprehending "Jinzhao Tianfen," he could dare to face seasoned Xiantian experts.

And there were two of them!

This was definitely a death wish!

"What to do?"

Running was impossible, how could he possibly escape?

But staying here...

Xu Xiaoshou swallowed hard, feeling that his life was at an end.

...

Outside the door.

The two exchanged a glance, basically confirming the situation.

If there was really no one, then they had been discovered.

The latter, though unlikely, was not impossible.

The champion of the "Fengyun Zhengba" of the Outer Courtyard, though reported to have only the eighth realm of cultivation, had a Xiantian body and Xiantian sword intent. Who knew what other means he might have.

"Move!"

Feng Kong tilted his head, and Shao Yi's aura erupted, gathering powerful Ling energy on the short sword, ready to split the mountain.

"Creak~"

At that moment, the barrier cracked, and the wooden door opened on its own.

"Damn!"

Shao Yi hastily retracted his strength, but the immense energy he had gathered almost made him spit blood from the forced interruption.

Their gazes met in the air, both alert, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

There was definitely something going on!

They were professional assassins, and Feng Kong was almost able to obtain the red card bounty of "Three Incense Sticks," naturally being very sensitive to danger and well-versed in the principle that "a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come on this night raid.

"Go in!"

The two cautiously stepped into the courtyard, and the next second, they were stunned by what they saw.

The ground...

Why are there so many large pits?

Was there a big battle here?

Moreover, although the Outer Courtyard had private courtyards, they were far inferior to the Inner Courtyard. Why did this place look so vast when viewed from a distance?

It seemed even larger than their own courtyard.

No!

It's as if...

Something is missing?

Shao Yi looked at the wooden house to the side. This is too shabby, such a small house? Did Xu Xiaoshou buy the courtyard but not the house?

No!

This should be a guest house!

Shao Yi suddenly thought of something and looked to the side of the small wooden house, where there was a large open space.

"Shouldn't there be a main house here? Why is it gone!"

The reason they felt the place was so vast was because the private courtyards in the Spirit Palace had at least one main house and one guest house.

Here, there was clearly a space for the main house, but it was just an open area...

What happened here?

What the hell happened in this place?

Shao Yi was shocked.

Observing the terrain was a necessary skill for an assassin, and these thoughts almost instantly formed in his mind.

Not only that, but the peculiar layout and the pitted ground instantly gave Shao Yi a guess.

Could this place have experienced a battle?

"Who?!"

Feng Kong's voice startled Shao Yi, who turned his head and saw a tall, thin figure standing on a rock in the misty rain.

Xu Xiaoshou?

No!

It might not be Xu Xiaoshou, it could be the other person from that big battle!

Not only Shao Yi, but Feng Kong's guess was also basically the same. Both felt the situation was a bit unexpected.

What was supposed to be a sure assassination, which could have been completed when Xu Xiaoshou opened the door, now felt uncertain and unpredictable even after entering his courtyard.

The figure on the rock did not turn around but slightly bowed his head and then sighed deeply, a hoarse voice echoing.

"Finally found me, huh? Unexpectedly..."

"A bit slow!"

The two's pupils contracted. What did he mean?

This guy...
