A distance away from where the fight happened, Xian Wu was seen running away with Jun Ling'er in his hand.
"I'm sorry Tian Wu. Did I just cause some trouble for you?"
"It's not your fault to begin with. That prince is just too unreasonable." Xian Wu cursed that prince and his fourteen generation. "We need to hide from these Qin from now on."
Jun Ling'er just nodded in agreement, and stayed close to Xian Wu's chest. Right now, she felt safe when she is close to him. It's as if all of her fear were driven away, and a sense of comfort was in it place.
After running for sometimes, they arrived at the Jun family house. As they approached the house, Xian Wu let go of Jun Ling'er. The then headed inside.
"What happen? Why are you two in a rush to come back?" the person who asked the question is Jun Ling'er's mother, Lu Ning.
"Mom, something bad happened."
After that, Jun Ling'er recounted the event that just happened in the market.
"That Prince Qin Li is an unreasonable person. I don't think this is the end of the matter." Xian Wu was still worried about their situation. "We should hide from them."
"My husband is not in the house yet. He was out for some errands." Lu Ning was also worried. However, Jun Wei is not home yet. "Let wait for him. As for the Qin, they might not know who we are. So, the won't be able to find us for the moment."
Xian Wu thought of it and nodded. The details of the fight has not yet spread to these area. They should be safe for now. They then waited for Jun Wei to come back.
After waiting until the sunset, Jun Wei still didn't come back. This caused Lu Ning and her daughter to worry for him.
Suddenly, they heard some people rushing towards the house. Xian Wu's eyes flickered. He hurriedly took the two women on his side and run out of the house.
Boom!
A giant club was swung down, crushing the house in an instant. The giant club then retracted back to a two meter long rod. The rod was wielded by an expert at the middle Step Grandmaster realm.
"Why did you crush the house? If that girl is still inside, we won't be able to hand her over to that Seventh Prince." Another guy scolded the first one.
"Sorry, my bad. I thought we just needed to kill them." replied the guy with the rod.
"Never mind. Let me check whether there are here or not."
The second guy then performed a wind technique.
"Wind Washer!"
Instantly, a strong wind gushed over, and formed a small tornado. It then slowly become bigger and bigger, until it was strong enough to carry all the woods and crushed pieces of the house.
While the guy were at that, two more men are standing not far away. One was holding a sword, and the other is eating on some food...no, it was a dead body of a person.
"Nooo! Fathhmm.."
Jun Ling'er almost screamed when she saw the dead body. It was the dead body of her father, Jun Wei. Xian Wu quickly hold her mouth so that she won't expose them.
The people are all at the middle stage of Step Grandmaster. It will be bad if they saw them.
Jun Ling'er cried in sadness when she saw her father. Her anger also flared when she saw that psycho eating the flesh of her father. Lu Ning on the side gritted her teeth, and gripped her fist tightly until her nails cut her own palm. Blood can be seen flowing out slowly from there.
"Let's go away from this place."
Xian Wu then brought the two away. He made sure to bid their presence from being detected. He didn't stop and led the two to travel for a long distance.
A few hours later, they stopped and hid inside a cave. The mother and daughter duo was still feeling the heavy emotion. They didn't talk much and keep being silent, while crying for their loss.
...
"You two stay here. I will find out the reason why uncle Wei got captured." said Xian Wu.
After resting the night in the cave, he was now heading back to the capital.
"Be careful. Run if you got in danger." Lu Ning didn't stop Xian Wu. She just give some reminder to him.
"Alright. I'll try to retrieve back uncle's body."
As Xian Wu said that, the two girls couldn't help to stop their tears. Xian Wu felt a pang on his heart when he looked at the two.
After that, he departed and headed towards the Qin Royal Capital.
After travelling for some time, he reached the capital. He then headed for the Royal Palace. His target is Qin Li. His gut feeling told him that this is the guy who caused the death of Jun Wei.
Suddenly he stopped at the market area. He saw some girls from yesterday who is talking about Qin Li.
"Have you heard, yesterday, the Flowering Garden was destroyed, and the Jun Wei got killed. His wife and daughter were nowhere to be found."
"That's what they get for angering the Seventh Prince of Qin."
"Yeah. Serve them right. They should be grateful as Seventh Prince fancied the daughter. Instead, they dared to kill the guards of the Young Prince. Is not that a for of rebellion?"
"Ah, I remember you."
"Huh, me?"
Suddenly, one of the girl pointed her finger at another girl who was surprised.
"Isn't it you who told the prince about the background of that girl?"
"That's me. What of it?" the girl readily admitted.
"You are Zhi Xue, the daughter of the owner of Blissed Restaurant, not too far from the Flowering Garden."
"So what?"
"You intentionally leaked the Jun's background so that the Royal family will destroy them. Is this the plan of your family?"
"What? There is no such thing."
The girl denied the claim. Although it was true that she did that to cut their family competitor, she will not say it aloud.
"So, it was you who assisted the Qin to kill uncle Jun Wei."
At this time, Xian Wu appeared at the side of the girl, causing her to jump in fright.
"Who...who are you? Don't come close!"
"I won't kill you. It's not my hand that wanted to give revange. Someone else will do that."
After that, Xian Wu continued towards the Royal Palace.
...
Xian Wu stealthily walked inside the Royal Palace. As he made his way, he was eavesdropping on the maids and servants in the palace. According to their chatters, he managed to pin point the location of the chamber, where Seventh Prince was staying.
He then headed in that direction. Right now, he was holding a sword, a bow and a quiver full of arrows. He also covered his face with some clothes, leaving only his eyes visible.
After walking for a distance, he stopped. Right now, he is in front of Qin Hung room. A thought come to his mind. Why don't I go and kill that guy? I he attacked him by surprise, he has an 80% chance to accomplish just that.
He then made up his mind. Firstly, he checked whether his target present or not in the room.
Cough! Cough!
That confirmed his check. The guy is inside and still coughing like before.
"Maid!"
Qin Hung called. A maid hurriedly run and opened the door.
"Come, tonight you will accompany me in the bed."
The maid shuddered, and her face turned pale at the command. However, she didn't dare to refuse. She walked in with a trembling legs. This man already ruined many maids.
To relieve his anger and frustration of being wounded, Qin Hung will slept with a young and virgin maid every single night. This caused many maid to be in sorrow. This maid here is the next one who was sent to please the wounded man.
Seeing the maid being slow, Qin Hung eyes become sharp, and scolded her, "Hurry up. If you don't want to die, quickly undress and come here."
The girl was even more dreaded. She has no choice but to approach the man. Qin Hung stood up and undressed himself. After that, he approached the trembling maid.
Ching!
Just as Qin Hung wanted to touch the girl, a sword come out of nowhere and stabbed him on his neck. It was too unexpected, and the sword managed to stab through his throat.
"Hark!"
Qin Hung vomited some blood, and fall on his knees. He slowly glanced to the side, and saw the attacker still holding to the sword that stabbed his throat.
"Before you die, I will tell you who I'm. I'm Xian Wu, the son of Xian Jun."
Hearing that, the dying Qin Hung turned even paler. Did the Xian King cursed him. He didn't even let him go even after wounding him?
"This is retribution for killing my father." said Xian Wu with a bloodshot eyes. He then slashed the sword, "Go to hell then."
The swords was slashed and a head tolled on the floor.
"One down. Next will be the prince." Xian Wu then turned to look at the maid. He said, "You better run away. The Qin will blame you after the death of this guy."
"Look..."
"What?"
"Look out!"
The maid shouted to warn Xian Wu. Xian Wu was alerted and tried to evade, but it was too late. A hand stabbed on his stomach, puncturing him from the back to the front.
It was the headless body who attacked him just now.
"Even if I die, I will bring you the prince of Xian together. Hahahaha..."
The head on the floor laughed for a moment before losing it's life. The body also dropped on the floor, leaving a hole on Xian Wu's body.
"Ahark... Bastard...why you..."
Xian Wu hurriedly circulated his energy to try to stop the bleeding, close the wound. The maid hurriedly took some clothes and helped Xian Wu bandage his wound.
Suddenly, some steps were heard quickly approaching their place. Xian Wu's and the maid's expression changed.
"Let's go."
Xian Wu and the maid hurriedly left the chamber. Not long after they left, a group of people arrived there.
"The commotion came from here."
"Is not this Royal Uncle Qin Hung's chamber?"
The one who led the group was the Crown Prince, Prince Qin Juan. "Royal Uncle, are you okay?"
However, there are no sound coming from inside. Qin Juan frowned. "Forgive me Royal Uncle."
He then pulled the door to the side. To his surprise, the door easily was opened. The guards brought some torches to light the chamber.
The instant they entered, they was shocked to see the dead Qin Hung. His head was no longer connected to his body. However, a smile was on his face. This caused a shudder to run through the back of the onlookers.
"How did this happened? Who did this?" The Crown Prince was enraged as he saw the dead body. However, he also got confused as to how did an assassin came in and kill his uncle?
"Crown Prince, look. There is blood on the floor."
One of the guard pointed at the blood that was on the floor. The blood traced towards the door and to the outside. It look like, the assassin is wounded. He should just left the place.
