Chapter 3514 Sneaking into the Hou Mansion
Ye Liuyun found an empty table in the restaurant and sat down. He ordered some food and drinks, and ate and drank leisurely while listening to the martial artists chatting, just to relax himself.
All he heard were some martial artists discussing what happened in the Marquis' Mansion.
"The news of the Marquis' Mansion can't be blocked recently. I heard from the servants of the Marquis' Mansion that something really happened in the Marquis' Mansion. It is said that the prince died!"
"It's very likely! I also heard that in one day, the consciousness left by many masters in the palace disappeared! Didn't you see that they have been recruiting masters of the sixth and seventh levels recently!"
"What's so strange about this? I heard a long time ago that it was the prince who went out of the domain to kill Ye Liuyun, but was killed in return!"
"This Ye Liuyun is not simple! He turned the West upside down, but he was able to escape unscathed! He is worthy of being the princess's personal bodyguard. It is said that he is only at the initial stage of the third level..."
These people are often well-informed about gossip.
Ye Liuyun was thinking in his heart: "It is estimated that the information about Hou Yuanqi's death was blocked by Tianyu Hou, but it was finally blocked, and it was only spread at this time. It is better to seize the time to act, lest the Hou Mansion recruit more and more masters!"
After eating, Ye Liuyun sat for a while, and did not hear any useful news, so he got up and returned to the inn. That night, he left his residence again from the void to search for the targets he wanted to attack.
The patrol in the outer city is much looser than that in the inner city, which makes it more convenient for Ye Liuyun to attack them here.
Some guards and servants in the Hou Mansion go to the outer city to consume, and they can't afford to consume in the inner city. Moreover, most of these people's families are in the outer city, and they often go home to visit.
He went to several houses in a row, but didn't find anyone. It is estimated that those people didn't come back by chance. According to the memory of a guard, he went to the casino again, and sure enough, he met the guard's nephew, Qi Wei, there.
Qi Wei's realm is the same as Ye Liuyun's. He is just an ordinary patrol guard in the Marquis's mansion. He is addicted to gambling. He was introduced to the palace by a master guard captured by Ye Liuyun through his connections.
There are many martial artists of the sixth and seventh levels in the casino. Ye Liuyun did not act rashly. He sneaked into the casino and stayed at a gambling table with Qi Wei, waiting for him to leave.
However, his momentum is definitely different from others, and Ye Liuyun does not care about winning or losing every time he bets a little. He is just wasting time.
So he attracted Qi Wei's attention. Qi Wei saw that Ye Liuyun should be a rich man, so he deliberately tried to get close to him. Ye Liuyun also seemed to like making friends very much. He got along well with him and even lent him a hundred middle-grade divine crystals.
It was not until dawn that Qi Wei lost everything and left the casino with Ye Liuyun.
"It's okay, it's just a little divine crystal, you don't need to pay it back! Come on, go find a restaurant with me to have a drink, I'm a little hungry!" Ye Liuyun generously waived his loan and invited him to eat and drink together. Qi Wei would naturally not refuse such a good thing. He thought that the guards' uniforms on his body played a role, and Ye Liuyun wanted to ask him for something. He was still thankful that he was lucky and met a sucker. Maybe he could borrow money from Ye Liuyun to gamble in the future. But he didn't feel happy for long. Before he could get to the restaurant, Ye Liuyun went to a remote place and attacked him directly. With Ye Liuyun's soul power, it was too easy to control him. After searching his soul, he put it into the space world, and then changed his appearance, put on his clothes and storage ring, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Now he doesn't need to show his token when he enters the city. The soldiers guarding the city all know the guards of the Marquis' Mansion. The leading soldier also greeted him: "Master Qi, how is your luck today?"
The guards of the Marquis' Mansion have higher status than these soldiers guarding the city, so they all call them masters.
"Oh, don't mention it! I'm so unlucky today!" Ye Liuyun also greeted him and went directly into the inner city.
The soldier saw that he was not in a good mood and guessed that he had lost again, so he didn't dare to flatter him again, so as not to make him unhappy.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, the guards also knew him, and they greeted him casually and let him in.
"Not bad, everything went well!" After entering the Marquis' Mansion, Ye Liuyun also returned to his own residence according to Qi Wei's memory to wait for an opportunity.
Qi Wei was not on duty today, and he couldn't walk around in the palace right away.
So after Ye Liuyun sneaked into the palace, he rested for a day before catching up with the duty and patrolling the palace with other guards.
During their inspection, Ye Liuyun saw clearly the situation of many places that had been defended by formations before. He even saw Tianyu Hou who was practicing.
Tianyu Hou's realm was the sixth level of Taixu, and his soul power was average. He was not a very strong martial artist. It was estimated that he had too many things to do and could not take care of his practice.
Outside Tianyu Hou's practice room, there was a martial artist wearing an invisible treasure to guard. Ye Liuyun could not see him, but he could see his soul and body. It was estimated that the invisible guard was much stronger than Tianyu Hou.
His practice room also had formation defenses. Ye Liuyun certainly could not take action under such circumstances. He needed to find another opportunity.
There were indeed not many martial artists in the Hou Mansion, only more than 20 in total. Ye Liuyun sent their image information to the captives in the space world, and they all confirmed that these people were newly recruited.
After walking around, Ye Liuyun had a general understanding of the information and strength of these people.
"It's okay, it's not too difficult, and there are no martial arts practitioners with strong soul power!"
On the spot, he selected a martial arts cultivator with relatively weak soul power as his target. Just when they were inspecting the third circle, Ye Liuyun was ready to take action.
"Huh?" As he was walking, he suddenly seemed to find something and couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong? What did you find?" Several other guards immediately asked.
"I see that there are fluctuations in space power in that direction. It doesn't seem to be coming from inside the room, but coming from outside." Ye Liuyun was talking about the residence of the target he selected.
Several other guards also frowned, and one of them confirmed with him: "You have lost too much recently and are hallucinating, right? If you offend such a strong person, I'm afraid you will get a beating at least. If it’s serious, you won’t even be able to save your life!”
"This... the feeling just now was obviously very clear. But now it's gone!" Ye Liuyun also pretended to be unsure.
The other guards also looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe him or not.
"Let's do this. Just wait for me here and I'll go ask. Nothing big will happen!" Ye Liuyun also suggested.
The other guards immediately agreed: "Okay, be smart and don't offend anyone with your words!" They were all afraid of being implicated by him.
So Ye Liuyun walked over alone.
