Chapter 851 – Murder by Borrowing a Knife Not this way

The person An Zheng was impersonating as was Wang Yannan. only realised that he was being called after being called twice. He looked back and said, “Why did you call me? I need to go to the bathroom. ”

The person behind him who called out to him pointed in the other direction in surprise, “Over there.”

An Zheng said somewhat angrily: “All that is on my mind is teleportation circle, I can’t believe I’m confused.”

That person did not suspect anything. After all, it was impossible for outsiders to enter this place. Moreover, how could he possibly think that this Senior Martial Brother Wang was fake? Zhong Jiuge had three treasures, and both were given to An Zheng for self-defense. One was the Hundred Transformations Cloth, one was the Thousand Faces, and there was one that even An Zheng did not know.

An Zheng followed the man’s finger and walked out, and after entering a passage, he casually found a place to sit for a while. Although no one would be able to see anything from here, but once it was related to the Runes, An Zheng had no other choice. His talent in cultivation could be said to be unrivalled, but in terms of symbols, it was truly difficult for him to start. Everyone was not perfect. When he was interacting with the people of the Youguo back then, An Zheng remembered some of the Runes on them, but he could not arrange them.

The huge teleportation formation on the ground earlier consisted of at least a few hundred runes, and at least five thousand Golden-Rank ranked spirit stones. If it was any other family, even a first-rate family would not be able to sustain sucuge project like this. They could get their hands on five thousand Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, but with a few million runes arranged into a huge spell formation, it was impossible to do without Star Observation Pavilion.

An Zheng sat for a while, organized his thoughts, then got up and walked back. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw that the supervisors of the Star Observation Pavilion were still waiting for him. Seeing him walk over, the youngest of them came up to him. “Senior brother Wang, do you think there’s a mistake here? The formation is almost complete, but why is there no response from the runes?”

An Zheng pretended to look at them, and then casually drew a few runes from his memories: “Try to replace these.”

The supervisor took a glance at it and said, “These runes don’t seem to be commonly used by us. Is it possible to use them recklessly?”

An Zheng: “I’ll let you try. If anything happens, I, Wang Yannan, will take responsibility!”

The few of them nodded their heads immediately, and An Zheng took the opportunity to find an excuse to leave. He walked towards the other side of the hall. If this teleportation spell formation was used to teleport the monster over, then there must bassageway that led outside the high wall. Otherwise, how would the monster be able to get out? As expected, when An Zheng arrived, he saw a door, and taking advantage that no one was looking, he opened it and walked in. After entering, An Zheng regretted it immediately. It was already too late to come out.

It was noassageway, but a room. There was a white-bearded old man sitting in the room. He looked to be around 70 to 80 years old.

“Longer?”

The old man raised his head and looked at An Zheng: “What’s the matter? I sent someone to look for you just now, saying that you’ve gone out of the restricted area. Let me tell you, with his Royal Highness here, the Grand Marshal of the Saints here, and the Pavilion Master here, you should restrain yourself. “It’s fine if it’s the usual days, but I don’t care if you just handle those lambs as you please. But now, you can’t mess up the whole situation!”

“Disciple understands.”

An Zheng possessed it: “It’s exactly because disciple heard that master was looking for me, that’s why I rushed back immediately.”

“Hmm? You have changed your attitude. I’m afraid that you already know that the Pavilion Master has arrived. Otherwise, how could you return so quickly? Is there something else? ”

“Oh!”

An Zheng said: The teleportation circle outside seemed to have met with some trouble, the runes did not react before, I had them replace some of the runes and tried.

The white-bearded old man nodded. “Even though you have a bad temper, you still do things seriously.” Sit down, I have something to tell you. ”

An Zheng sat down on his butt and thought how unlucky he was.

The old man remained silent for a while and said, “There is something that I should have told you a long time ago …” It’s just that I’ve been dissatisfied with you, so I dragged it all the way to today. But seeing that the teleportation array is about to be completed, and that something big is about to happen, I have to tell you. You should know that in the past few hundred years, what His Majesty cares about the most is what we’re doing. And this is too big a deal, and the fewer people who know, the better, you understand. ”

“Disciple understands.”

“You don’t understand.”

The old man raised his head and glanced at An Zheng, “Even though I usually reprimand you a lot, it’s not because I value you. If not for your mischievous personality, I would have promoted you long ago. Now that this matter is about to be completed, I will bring it up to the Pavilion Master, raising you to the same level as me. “I’m old, and in the future, everything under my command will be inherited by you.”

An Zheng thought about how he should express himself. Just as he stood up and was about to say something, the old man waved his hand. “No need to thank me.

An Zheng: “Oh.”

Then he sat down.

However, he didn’t care and continued, “People on the other side of the wall don’t know about it. Even people here only know about it from our people, so there is no need to worry. But within us, your juniors in particular, are all discussing in private. Some people say that His Majesty created a substitute for himself! ”

The elder said angrily, “Your Majesty is invincible, do you still need to create a substitute for yourself?”

An Zheng thought that this must be a substitute.

“However, this item is indeed very important and His Majesty cannot afford to lose it. “Furthermore, if you were to inherit my position in the future and are chosen by me now, I might not respect you in the future.”

An Zheng suddenly understood. He raised his hand and madhroat slitting gesture.

The old man nodded, “At least you are not too stupid. You are right, we cannot keep these people.”

An Zheng thought in his heart.

The old man continued, “In a while, gather them up. I will take care of the small gap myself. Your junior brothers won’t suspect you, and I know you have a way to clean up this matter. In a moment you call them into my house, and I’ll go out and see the gap. Be quick about it, you can use your shit. ”

An Zheng nodded and said, “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely do it cleanly and decisively.”

The old man waved his hand. “Forget it. Just wait here. I’ll go get them all in.”

The old man got up and left. When he walked to An Zheng’s side, he said: “I know you have a great future, I will still need to rely on you in the future. Work well, don’t waste my effort to cultivate you.”

An Zheng immediately thanked him and the old man walked out. A few minutes later, all the disciples returned. There were about twenty or so of them. After they came in, An Zheng closed the door: “I know you probably don’t like me, and are usually angry with me, but right now, my words are extremely important, so you all can choose to not believe me, but you all only need to try to find out that I am not lying. Master told me to kill all of you and to return the poison to me. Don’t be surprised or afraid, there’s a way to prove that I’m not lying now … In a moment, all of you will be lying on the ground, resting, and no one will breathe.

“When Master sees you like this after entering, he will definitely let down his guard. Moreover, I know that he is only using me. After I kill you, he will definitely silence me. I don’t believe what he said about killing all of you and making me his successor. He has always disliked me, and I also disapproved of you guys. However, in this moment of life and death, you all should still believe in me. ”

Their faces were filled with shock, and no one knew whether or not they should believe An Zheng. An Zheng opened up a small crack on the door and looked outside: “It’s very simple, when he comes back later, all of you should lie down, do not breathe, this is not difficult right?”

The group of people talked in hushed tones, and around 10 minutes later, the old man stood up and walked back to them. An Zheng made a gesture, although these people were skeptical, they did not suffer any losses even if they faked their deaths.

Not long after, the old man pushed open the door and entered. He looked at the corpses on the ground and smiled in satisfaction, “I knew you would not disappoint me. Your actions were indeed straightforward. Yenan, come over here. I have something to give you. This thing represents my privilege in the Star Observation Pavilion, and you know that the authority for each rank is different. I hand over the authority to you, you should trust me now, right? ”

An Zheng immediately laughed: “That’s naturally good.”

The old man sat down on his seat, opened the drawer and took out something from inside. Just as An Zheng arrived in front of him, the old man suddenly lifted it up, and threw it towards An Zheng. It was a modified crossbow, and each bolt was supported by an exquisite rune array. This type of bolt was several times faster and much more powerful than an ordinary crossbow. Normally, a Symbol Master’s physique was average and his speed was slow, so logically, Wang Yannan wouldn’t be able to avoid it.

But An Zheng was not Wang Yannan.

Just as the few crossbows were about to pierce into An Zheng’s chest, An Zheng raised his hand just in time and gently blocked all the crossbows. The crossbow arrows were blocked in the palm of An Zheng’s hand, but they did not even manage to pierce through his palm.

An Zheng said somewhat helplessly: “I forgot, it’s fine if I don’t block it.”

He casually threw the crossbow on the ground and turned around to look. “Everyone, stand up. You all have seen how deep the affection our teacher has for us.”

They all stood up and glared at the old man. The old man’s face was deathly pale as he looked at An Zheng in disbelief, “You … How could you block it? You … Just how many more things are you hiding from me!? ”

An Zheng immediately grabbed the old man’s neck: “Speak, what is the secret, I can still consider not killing you. We will be master and disciple, from then on we will go our separate ways.”

The old man was choked by his neck and was unable to breathe. A moment later, he was terrified. “I said I will say …”

He told An Zheng everything that he knew. An Zheng knew that it was a mix of truth and falsehood, but there must be something valuable inside. He could break the old man’s neck with any amount of force. Leaving such a vicious person alive would be a disaster. If he was so hateful to his own disciple, then he would be even more heartless to outsiders. An Zheng turned to look at his fellow disciples. “We can’t stay here anymore, take advantage of the fact that we haven’t been discovered and run away quickly.”

“How can we run? We’re heavily guarded.” This is bad, if you kill him, we will all die. ”

“That’s right, how can we run?”

“Of course I can’t forget to run to the underground city. There’s only death there.”

An Zheng would definitely not reveal the secret passage to Yuwen Clan, he pretended to ponder for a moment and said: “Let’s go to the other side of the high wall, that way can lead to the outside world, as long as we go that way, we will definitely be able to escape.”

“Yes!”

One of them said, “We all know where the secret passageway to the other side is, but no one dares to go near. In order to protect themselves, we can only try.”

An Zheng laughed in his heart, as expected, he did not need any effort to obtain it.
