Chapter 26: Doubts, identity exposure
After returning to the room on the third floor, Ji Tianxing took off the mask.
His expression is a bit solemn, and his heart is heavy.
Although he had long expected that when the red star flower was in full bloom, many forces must have heard the wind and rushed to the Taiye Mountains to **** it.
But he didn't expect that just one inn in Taiye Town would have gathered hundreds of warriors.
These warriors basically have the true essence realm strength, among them there are several real essence realm seven or more masters.
As for the martial artist in the body refining stage, there are several, but they are all here to join in the fun, and there is basically no hope of capturing the red star flower.
For Ji Tianxing, the warriors in this inn are his potential competitors or enemies!
There are so many warriors who only live in the inn. How many forces and warriors are hidden in the dark without living in the inn?
When thinking of this, Ji Tianxing felt more and more heavy.
After nightfall, he sat cross-legged on the bed to practice after supper, continuing to condense sword energy.
Although the number of sword auras has reached the limit, he draws on the vitality of the heavens and the earth, making each sword aura more solid and powerful.
Waiting for him to condense and strengthen all the twelve sword qis, three hours have passed.
The Laifu Inn in the middle of the night fell into silence.
The majority of the tenants have already rested, only a light is still on in the lobby.
After Ji Tianxing received his work, he walked to the window and prepared to close the window to sleep.
But he suddenly caught a glimpse of the light from the corner of his eye. There seemed to be two figures in the corner of the backyard, wriggling silently.
The two warriors were both wearing black clothes, and they seemed to be wearing masks. They moved very cautiously without making any sound.
Despite the darkness of the night, Ji Tianxing vaguely saw that the two men carried a big box and quietly touched the back door.
The two quietly opened the back door and carried the box out.
Ji Tianxing frowned, vaguely feeling something strange.
He subconsciously walked out of the door and touched the back door of the yard quietly.
He wears a black cloak and a mask, sneaking in the night without fear of being spotted.
When he chased to the back door, he saw the two warriors carrying the box and drilling into an alley along the courtyard wall.
He tiptoed up, in order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he dared not follow too close.
A moment later, two masked warriors carried the box to the depths of the alley, and carried the box into a dark room.
Then they retreated and quietly returned to the Laifu Inn.
Ji Tianxing hid in the dark corner of the alley, holding his breath without making a sound.
After the two warriors left, he got into the dark room.
The room seemed to be unoccupied for many years, and it was filled with a decadent atmosphere, spider webs were everywhere, and the ground was covered with dust and debris.
Ji Tianxing searched and fumbled in the dark for a while, only to find the big box in a pile of firewood at the corner of the wall.
He tried to mention it. The weight of the big box was heavy, as if it was filled with steel or stone.
Under doubt, he took out the fire fold and lit the fire, and checked the box with the faint light of the fire.
After only one glance, he frowned, with doubts in his eyes.
The cast iron box is locked, and the lock is a large slap gear, which can only be opened after rotating to the corresponding position.
Ji Tianxing is very familiar with this kind of box!
Because, Ji's forging workshop uses this kind of box to store weapons and equipment!
He tried to rotate the black gear and screwed it to the corresponding position, and the lock snapped open.
Ji Tianxing opened the lid of the box and took a look. There were more than twenty mackerel swords in the box.
Mackerel is a high-level fierce beast in the sea. The forging workshop of the Ji family generally only equips mysterious-level swords with scabbards of this material.
Ji Tianxing picked up a sword casually, checked the hilt, and saw that the hilt was engraved with the word "Ji" in seal script.
His face grew gloomy, and the doubts in his eyes became even worse, and he glanced at the pattern on the blade.
The thorn-like circular pattern made him immediately conclude that this mysterious sword came from the mysterious sword workshop in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city.
"It really is a sword forged by my Ji family! These twenty-four mysterious swords are worth more than one million taels. How can they appear here?"
"The Xuanjian workshop in the eastern suburbs, isn't that second uncle in charge?"
Ji Tianxing is full of doubts, always feel that this matter is a bit strange.
In order not to be discovered, he put the sword back in the box and locked it again.
Then he put out the Huozhezi and returned to the Laifu Inn quietly.
However, when he returned to the Laifu Inn, there were constant quarrels and curses in the lobby.
When Ji Tianxing walked into the lobby, he saw two silhouettes of rabbits fighting each other, and the clanging of swords continued to sound.
After hearing a few words, he understood. It turned out that the inn was full and only the last room was left.
Two groups of people arrived at the inn at the same time, so they quarreled about that room.
One group of people are three young people from Qingyun Imperial City.
The three of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes, are noble, and naturally they are also arrogant and domineering when they speak.
The other group of four people are from Manzhou, a sturdy folk state ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, all wearing animal skin pants, all with beards and braids, and tattoos on their arms and chest.
The leader of the four has a hot temper. He can draw a knife regardless of whether the other party is a nobleman in the imperial city.
The quarrel and fight between the two sides awakened more than a dozen residents, who ran to the lobby to watch the excitement.
Ji Tianxing didn't want to get involved with this kind of thing, so he walked through the lobby and walked up the stairs to the room.
But unfortunately, when the young man in the white robe of the True Origin Realm slashed at the bald man with tattoos on his forehead, he was slashed on the blade by the bald man.
Suddenly, the sword that was shining with cold light deviated from the direction and came straight to Ji Tianxing.
The white-robed youth was already very close to Ji Tianxing, only five steps away.
This sword came suddenly and fast as lightning.
Although Ji Tianxing retreated in time to evade, he couldn't avoid the sword, and was immediately struck by the sword in his cheek.
With a crisp sound of "clang", the black iron mask he was wearing on his face was chopped in half by a sword on the spot, and he fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.
Ji Tianxing's face suddenly became gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The white-robed youth and the bald-headed man glanced at him, showing no change in expression, and continued to fight.
However, the two companions of the white-robed youth have been watching and cheering. At this time, their eyes fell on Ji Tianxing's face, and a sudden sound of surprise was heard.
"Hey! Isn't this... Ji Tianxing? Isn't the Ji family eldest master?"
"Hey, it really is the first genius who used to be, now Ji Da is a trash! Even the sword can't be avoided, if this accidentally hurt the face of the young master, we can't afford it!"
Obviously, the two aristocratic youths knew Ji Tianxing and saw through his identity on the spot.
