C38 Yu Jing
C38 Yu Jing
On the way back to the house, Tang Ming became angrier the more he thought about it. When he reached the house, he could no longer control his anger and let it all out on the various appliances in the house.
"You're pissing me off! Deputy Officer Cui is too muddleheaded, to actually help a fallen Wealthy Class disciple, could it be that Nie Family is his relative?! " When there were no more intact objects in the room, Tang Ming finally roared.
"First Young Master, this is impossible, if there are relatives within the Subordinate Country, then the Duobao Sect will not bid on that person to hold the position." The butler behind Tang Ming stood up and said.
"Nonsense!" How could I not know?! Young Master was just angry just now! " Tang Ming shouted angrily.
Tang Ming then thought for a while, pointed at one of his two bodyguards and said: "Yu Jing! Tonight, sneak into the hotel where the Nie Family is staying and tie up that little girl, I want to see what's so special about her that can make Murong Lee eat so much! "
The bodyguard complied and then asked, "Then Young Master, do you need this subordinate to bring Nie Zhen here for you to punish him?"
"Hmph, there's no need …" Nie Zhen, this brat, has Shen Family.
Tang Ming then said to the butler and Fei Hong, who was the other bodyguard: "The two of you, follow me to Shen Family's side courtyard. I want to ask Shen Faang clearly how confident he is in his battle with Nie Family, hmph …"
Night …
Nie Zhen, who was cultivating behind closed doors, suddenly used his Spiritual Sense. He noticed that there was a target not far away that was heading in his direction. And the target of the killing was pointed at him.
"Hmph …" Earth Stage One, Tang Ming really can't bear to spend all of his money! " Nie Zhen sneered as killing intent flashed between his brows.
Nie Zhen was very familiar with the smell of the newcomer. He was one of the two bodyguards that accompanied Tang Ming. Even though they had only met once, Nie Zhen would never forget the smell.
"It seems like this Tang Ming will not give up on me. Then, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Nie Zhen's killing intent rose. Not to mention one of Duke Chisong's subordinates, even if Duke Chisong came in person, how could he be afraid?
Just as Yu Qing set her foot on the roof of the restaurant, she felt someone grab her shoulder.
Like a conditioned reflex, Yu Jing circulated his spirit energy in an attempt to break free. However, after three consecutive times of exertion, his spirit energy was like mud in the ocean; he was unable to break free.
"Ugh …" Yu Qing's heart sank. He knew that he had already been discovered, and since the opponent was able to restrain him without him noticing, even if he used his full strength, he still wouldn't be able to escape.
"Who is it? Who exactly is it?! " The Murong Family Clan Patriarch Murong Liang was one of them, but Yu Jing himself thought that he was very good at hiding his strength. Unless Murong Liang had long since known that he was going to ambush them, Yu Jing didn't think that he would suffer such a crushing defeat. As for the other experts of the Chisong Prefecture, Yu Jing felt that even if he wasn't his match, he wouldn't be quietly subdued by the enemy.
Yu Jing slowly turned his head. Even if he were to die, he still wanted to know whose hands he had fallen into. But as he turned his head, he saw a figure that he simply couldn't imagine.
"You … "Are you still human …" Yu Jing muttered to Nie Zhen. He just couldn't understand how such a young man like Nie Zhen could have such a high cultivation.
"People? That depends on how you look at it. " Nie Zhen looked at Yu Jing coldly. Then, he broke Yu Jing's bones with a single palm strike...
After killing Yu Jing, Nie Zhen picked up Yu Jing's corpse and leaped into the air, stepping over the buildings one by one …
"Shen Faang, speak honestly. How much certainty do you have in your battle of Shen Family with Nie Family three days later? How much do you know about Nie Family? " Tang Ming sat down on the main seat of the Shen Family Courtyard and glared at Shen Faang as he asked.
The strongest practitioner of the Nie Family is only limited to Nie Zhuang, and as far as I know, Nie Zhuang had only cultivated the Human Stage a few years ago. Even if he made a breakthrough in the recent days, he would at most be at the ninth level of the Human Stage.
"Should? "I want certainty!" Tang Ming raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction, "Then what about Nie Zhen? Today, I went to the Murong Family and saw him.
"Reporting to Young Master Tang, this Nie Zhen's cultivation level was not too high before, but this year seems to be the beginning of his rise. Previously, he had killed two of the Jin Clan's youths, but the process was a bit strange, I suspect that those two from Murong Family were behind the scenes, creating some momentum for the Nie Family." Shen Faang truthfully revealed what he had guessed.
"Hmph …" What use was there taking advantage of her? In the end, wasn't she still going to use her true abilities?! You can't borrow troops for the Aristocrat's assessment, but I want to see what kind of tricks that Nie Family can pull! " Hearing what Shen Faang said, Nie Zhen was just a bluff and didn't have much ability, so Tang Ming was completely relieved.
"Patriarch Shen, this time, you two should perform well. Take off the heads of the Nie Family father and son duo on the stage, don't tell me you two are unable to do so …"
"Bam!"
Suddenly, in the empty space outside the Shen Family Courtyard, the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground sounded.
Everyone rushed out, only to see Yu Jing lying on the ground with his hands and feet broken, his skull shattered. He was obviously dead.
"Yu Jing?!" Tang Ming turned pale with fright. The bodyguard he sent to ambush Nie Family was actually killed just like that, and the key thing was, he didn't even know who the other party was, Nie Family? Was it possible with just that Nie Family?
Tang Ming went silent and returned to the hall silently. He snapped at Shen Faang, "Shen Faang! Tell me honestly, other than the Wu father and son duo, what other experts does this Nie Family have?! "
His cultivation was at the Human Stage, so since the opponent was able to kill Yu Jing who was at the first level of Earth Stage, then naturally, he could kill him too. Fei Hong, who was also a bodyguard at the first level of Earth Stage, was also unable to protect his own safety.
Tang Ming felt uneasy when he thought about how his life was not guaranteed.
"This... He really didn't have any... There are only two or three people with Nie Family, there are no experts at all. If there really were, Nie Family would not have declined to such a state … " He knew who Yu Jing was, he was an expert at the first level of Earth Stage. Even if it was him, Shen Faang, he wouldn't be able to defeat him so easily.
"Yu Jing is a member of my Duke Chisong Manor, so he's naturally not a subordinate of me, Duke Chisong. Currently, within the Chisong City, other than you, Shen Faang, are there any other experts?" Tang Ming felt that the situation was getting out of his control.
"Based on my understanding, Murong Liang is the only one who could kill Yu Jing so easily …" Shen Faang's words were also true. Murong Liang was a Fourth Level cultivator, so it was easy for him to deal with Yu Jing.
"Murong Liang? He still doesn't have the guts! " Liu Shuang rolled his eyes. Murong Liang indeed had the strength, but he still wouldn't dare to attack the men from Duke Chisong Manor.
"First Young Master, in short, there might be other experts hidden in the Chisong City, we should be extra careful, this matter might not be aimed at us, it might not have anything to do with Nie Family, it might be possible that we offended a random expert during the mission of Yujing, and got killed by him, it is not impossible." At this time, the butler standing at the side spoke up.
Tang Ming thought about what the butler said, and what he said made quite a lot of sense. There were a few people in Nie Family, but in fact, every single piece of information gathered without exception indicated that there were only the father and son duo in Nie Family, and that Nie Xiaoqi didn't even know a single bit of martial arts.
The butler continued, "Since they specifically threw Yu Jing's body back, they probably know that Yu Jing is Eldest Young Master's guard. However, based on his methods, he doesn't want to offend our Duke Chisong Manor, and it's probably just a warning. Eldest Young Master, don't worry too much, let's go back to the house first and keep a low profile for the next few days."
Tang Ming nodded and agreed with the housekeeper's opinion. Then he said to Wu Tie, "Chief Shen Faang, I'll head back first."
Finished speaking, Tang Ming brought along his butler and bodyguard Fei Hong and returned to Duke Chisong Manor. Although the butler's words were comforting him, Tang Ming clearly felt that his own life was not guaranteed right now. Only by returning to the house quickly, with the protection of all the experts in Duke Chisong's mansion, would he be able to feel at ease.
Shen Faang let out a long sigh. This matter was ridiculous and unlucky. Tang Ming's guard mysteriously died in his yard.
Although this matter didn't have anything to do with him, from the tone of Tang Ming and the others, it seemed that this matter was somehow related to Nie Family. As long as it was related to Nie Family, Shen Faang would feel uneasy.
In the next three days, regardless of whether it was Tang Ming or Shen Family, neither side made a mistake. This time, Tang Ming was completely on edge, and other than his normal activities, he spent most of his time inside Duke Chisong Manor, afraid that he would be caught by that unknown expert. However, after three days, nothing else seemed to have happened.
As for the Shen Family, it was unlikely to cause any more trouble at this critical juncture, because just on that morning, the battle between the Shen Family of a Wealthy Class and the seat of nobility for the Wealthy Class seat would officially begin.
