Chapter 630 Someone wants to attack Xingluo!

The black-clothed spirit master was stunned and said hesitantly, "Boss, this mission is too difficult. The Titled Douluo in the palace are not vegetarians..."

"idiot!"

The old man growled, "Didn't you see the effect of this potion? Level one soul power is enough to drive countless soul masters crazy! No matter how difficult the mission is, there will always be people who take the risk.

Go and do as I say!"

"Yes!"

The black-clothed soul master didn't dare to say anything more and turned around and left in a hurry.

Late at night, in an exquisite bedroom in the Xingluo Palace, Dai Mubai sat cross-legged, his soul power flowing in his body, his breath steady and powerful.

He was striving to reach a new level of soul power, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Who?"

Dai Mubai suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze shot towards the door like lightning.

A man in black pushed the door open and walked in, kneeling on one knee. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have completed my mission. Lu Yu is dead!"

Dai Mubai frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Lu Yu? So soon?"

He stood up and slowly approached, his soul power secretly circulating, "What evidence do you have?"

The man in black lowered his head and was about to speak when he suddenly groaned. A pitch-black arrow shot in from the window and pierced his chest accurately.

Blood gushed out, the man's eyes widened, and he slowly fell down.

"Enemy attack!"

Dai Mubai's pupils shrank, and his soul power exploded instantly. The White Tiger Martial Spirit possessed him and turned into a white light and pounced towards the window.

Almost at the same time, several black shadows flashed outside the window, the sound of bowstrings vibrating rang out one after another, and more than ten arrows with sharp soul power shot straight towards them.

"Escort!"

The guards roared outside the hall, and more than ten soul masters rushed in, their soul rings flashing, trying to intercept the arrows.

However, those arrows seemed to have spirits, with strange trajectories, piercing through the guards' bodies one after another.

Screams rang out one after another, and blood stained the ground red.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and blasted out a White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, shattering several arrows.

But at this moment, three terrifying auras rose from afar, and three Titled Douluo joined forces to attack, the light of their soul skills illuminated the night sky, and rushed straight towards those dark shadows.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

A Titled Douluo roared, his nine spirit rings blossomed, and his spirit skills pressed towards the black shadow like a landslide.

However, those assassins had strange movements and retreated like ghosts under the siege of the Titled Douluo, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Dai Mubai stood there, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with shock. "Who are these assassins...? They can't even stop them, even a Titled Douluo?"

A Titled Douluo covered in blood approached and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, these people are well-trained and work in perfect harmony. They are definitely not ordinary killers.

Their goal seems to be just to test the waters, not to go all out.”

"Testing?"

Dai Mubai frowned, and Lu Yu's figure appeared in his mind, "Could it really be him?"

The next morning, in the main hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Xingluo sat on the dragon throne, his majestic gaze sweeping over Davis and Dai Mubai who were kneeling below.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and the guards and palace maids were silent.

"Tell me, who have you offended recently?"

The emperor's voice was low and full of unquestionable pressure.

Davis frowned and said respectfully, "Father, I have been practicing in seclusion recently and have not made any enemies."

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and whispered, "Father, I suspect it's Lu Yu! He and I have some grudges, maybe..."

"Lu Yu?"

The Emperor snorted coldly, interrupting him. "How could a young boy like you have the ability to mobilize such a powerful assassin? Mu Bai, don't make random guesses."

Davis frowned and couldn't help asking, "Father, why are these assassins here? They are so powerful that even the palace guards can't stop them."

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "I have received news that the reward for these assassins is a bottle of potion that can forcibly increase one's strength by one level.

Do you know what this means?"

"A potion that increases strength by one level?"

Davis and Dai Mubai looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but say, "Father, is there really such a heaven-defying potion in this world? I've never heard of it!"

Davis also frowned and said, "Father, I also think this matter is strange.

We two brothers have never offended anyone who can produce this kind of medicine, this..."

The emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter.

You must be careful in the near future, the palace defense has been strengthened three times.

I will also try to communicate with those assassin organizations and find out who is behind this."

"Yes, Father."

The two brothers responded in unison, their eyes filled with confusion.

The next morning, in a corner of the palace, in the side hall where Dai Mubai lived, a deafening explosion suddenly occurred.

Flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire area was reduced to ruins.

The guards were in a panic, and the three Titled Douluo worked together to use their soul skills to barely suppress the aftermath of the explosion.

"How many times has this happened?"

Dai Mubai stood at the edge of the ruins, his clothes torn and his eyes full of anger.

A Titled Douluo said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this is the eighth assassination attempt! The enemy's methods are becoming more and more bold, daring to detonate a soul guide of this scale in the palace!"

In the distance, Zhu Tianxing, the head of the Zhu family, and Zhou Hu, the head of the Zhou family, hurried over. When they saw this scene, their faces changed drastically.

Zhu Tianxing frowned and whispered, "When did the Xingluo Palace become so weak? It can't even defend against attacks like this?"

Zhou Hu's eyes flashed, and he bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this is no small matter! I would like to volunteer to thoroughly investigate this matter and uncover the mastermind behind it!"

Emperor Xingluo stood on the high platform, glanced at Zhou Hu, and nodded slightly, "Okay, since the Zhou family has this intention, I will hand over this matter to you with full responsibility.

We must get to the bottom of this matter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Hu responded respectfully, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Zhu Tianxing snorted coldly and whispered, "Zhou Hu, you really know how to take advantage.

"This kind of assassination, the person behind it doesn't even fear the imperial palace, what can you find out? You're just asking for trouble."

Zhou Hu smiled without saying anything, but his eyes swept towards Dai Mubai in the distance, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Dai Mubai stood in the ruins, fists clenched, muttering: "Lu Yu...if it really is you, I will make you pay the price!"

In the magnificent meeting hall of the Xingluo Empire Palace, flickering candlelight reflected on the gilded pillars, casting mottled light and shadows.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. The Xingluo Emperor sat on the high dragon throne, his face haggard, and his eyes revealed fatigue and worry.

Below, the heads of the major families stood solemnly, their eyes either deep or cautious, and an invisible sense of oppression permeated the air.

"Everyone, the Xingluo Empire has been unstable in recent years. The surrounding countries are eyeing it covetously, and there are even undercurrents surging within it."

The Xingluo Emperor spoke in a low, slightly hoarse voice as he slowly scanned the crowd in the hall. "I hope that all the noble families can unite their strength and jointly safeguard the glory of Xingluo."

His Highness and the others responded in a low voice, but their eyes unconsciously crossed with a hint of temptation.

Zhu Tianheng, the head of the Zhu family, stood in the front row, his figure tall and straight, his face calm. Upon hearing this, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the Zhu family is willing to devote all our strength to serving the empire.

If all the major families can work together, Xingluo will be as strong as a rock."

When the emperor heard this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, his tone slightly softened: "Master Zhu is thoughtful.

I have been exhausted recently, my sons and daughters have been assassinated one after another, and there is some discord between the court and the Zhu family. I am very worried and afraid that there will be more trouble. "

Zhu Tianheng's eyes moved slightly, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Zhu family has absolutely no second thoughts.

No matter what rumors spread from the outside world, the Zhu family always puts the empire first."

The emperor looked at him deeply, as if trying to figure out the truth of his words, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you.

The internal forces of Xingluo are complex. The Zhu family competes with other aristocratic families such as Zhou Hu and Liang. Although the sect forces are suppressed, they are also ready to make moves.

Everyone, do not allow the enemy to take advantage of the situation."

Everyone in the hall responded in unison, but the atmosphere remained tense.

Zhu Tianheng lowered his head slightly, a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he returned to his original position.

After the meeting, he hurried back to the Zhu residence, his steps a little hurried.

Inside the Zhu family mansion, the study is quiet and the scent of sandalwood lingers.

Zhu Tianheng pushed the door open and walked in. Lu Yu was standing by the window, with his hands behind his back, staring at an ancient tree in the yard, as if in deep thought.

Hearing the door open, Lu Yu turned around, a faint smile on his lips: "Master, the emperor summoned me, what's the big deal?"

Zhu Tianheng closed the door, signaled the servants to leave, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yu, what do you think about what happened to the Dai family last night?"

A sly look flashed in Lu Yu's eyes as he slowly approached, his voice low but with a certain amount of confidence: "Master, the Dai family has been pressing the Zhu family step by step in recent years. It might not be a bad thing to create some trouble for them now.

In my opinion, the Dai family's power will soon be weakened, which is the Zhu family's opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, sat down on the armchair, and rubbed his brows: "It's not that simple.

The Xingluo Empire has deep roots and complex influence. Although the Dai family has suffered losses, its foundation is still there.

not to mention……"

He paused and lowered his voice, "The Dai family had an ancestor who was said to have broken through to the ninety-ninth level, but he disappeared many years ago.

This is why the Zhu family dares not act rashly."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure: "Level ninety-nine? That's the realm of demigod.

However, since this person has not appeared for many years, he is likely to have died long ago or has gone into seclusion.

"Master, the Dai family is in dire straits right now and needs the support of the Zhu family. How dare we suppress you again?"

Zhu Tianheng sighed, his eyes complicated: "You are right.

The Dai family has suffered heavy losses in recent years, with nearly half of their Titled Douluo lost. There are only thirty Titled Douluo in the entire empire. If more than ten of them die in a short period of time, the Dai family will be severely damaged and unable to take care of themselves."

He paused, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Lu Yu, what do you think, take this opportunity to cancel the marriage with the Dai family?"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Good idea! The Dai family is now busy with their own affairs, and they are powerless to object to the cancellation of the marriage.

If the Zhu family can break free from this constraint, they will achieve great things in the future."

Zhu Tianheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In this case, I will go to see Your Majesty tomorrow to discuss this matter.

only……"

He looked at Lu Yu, his tone slightly heavy, "Have you made any arrangements for Zhu Qing? If her marriage with Dai Mubai is cancelled, it will probably lead to a lot of rumors."

Lu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, Patriarch, I have my own plans.

As for Zhuqing, I will personally discuss this with her and will never let her suffer any injustice."

After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left. His steps were brisk, but there was a deep flash in his eyes.

It was a deep night. In a corner of the Zhu family mansion, in Zhu Zhuqing's boudoir, the flickering candlelight reflected on her beautiful face.

She sat by the window, holding a letter in her hand, with a look of worry between her brows.

The door rang softly, and Lu Yu pushed it open and walked in. Seeing her expression, he smiled gently: "Zhu Qing, what's wrong? Are you still worried about family matters?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked up, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she stood up and said, "Lu Yu, you're here."

She paused, her voice soft but a little excited, "I just received news that the Dai family is in a state of panic and will not be able to embarrass the Zhu family in the short term.

Brother Dai Mubai is busy taking care of himself, and I heard he's been attacked by assassins for days, and is in danger."

Lu Yu nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "The Dai family suffered the consequences of their own actions, so they can't blame others.

Zhuqing, if all goes well, you will soon be able to completely break free from the shadow of the Dai family, leave Xingluo, and live the life you want."

Zhu Zhuqing heard this, a gleam in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Really? Lu Yu, if that's the case, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, her smile faltered, and she whispered, "By the way, a few months ago, I received a letter about Wang Sheng."

Lu Yu was startled and asked hurriedly, "Wang Sheng? Where is he? Is he okay?"

Zhu Zhuqing sighed, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "He left the Zombie Territory, and the Zhu family search team saw him boarding a ship heading to the Eastern Continent.

only……"

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "He had already lost his ability to move and was taken away by the descendants of a mysterious family. His life or death is unknown."

Hearing this, Lu Yu clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes flashing with anger: "Spirit Hall! It's them again!"

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Qing, when my cultivation is sufficient, I will go to the Eastern Continent and bring Wang Sheng home.

But now, my strength is still insufficient, and I have to become stronger to protect the people around me."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Lu Yu, I believe you.

But the eastern continent is extremely dangerous, so you must be careful."

Lu Yu nodded, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

He paused, his tone softening, "Zhu Qing, you can rest assured to stay in the Zhu family. I will properly handle the marriage matter with the head of the family and will never let you suffer any grievances."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Lu Yu, thank you."

A few days later, public opinion in the capital of the Xingluo Empire was in an uproar.

On the streets and alleys, soul masters were talking about it, and the topic all revolved around the successive assassinations of the two princes.

"Have you heard? The two princes nearly lost their lives. The killer was so bold that he dared to assassinate them in the imperial capital!"

In a teahouse, a soul master lowered his voice, his eyes full of shock.

"That's right! The empire just lost more than ten Titled Douluo not long ago, and now the prince has been assassinated. I'm afraid someone is going to attack Xingluo!"

Another person answered, a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

In a corner of the teahouse, Lu Yu, dressed in a blue shirt, listened quietly to the discussions around him, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, thinking to himself, "The Dai family is now walking on thin ice. Davis and Dai Mubai were attacked one after another. Even with the protection of Titled Douluo, it is difficult to protect them.

I'm afraid the Xingluo Empire's resources will be exhausted by these waves of turmoil."
