I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 294 Night Assault

Inside the city.

Inside an ordinary-looking house, there was a sealed room hidden underground.

Inside the sealed room, a gray-robed man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Bang! Bang! The door of the sealed room opened, and a person walked in.

This person was none other than Zhuo Cengyun, who had been forced to join the Hidden Sect.

“Something happened outside.”

Zhuo Cengyun stood next to the gray-robed man and said coldly.

Judging from Zhuo Cengyun’s attitude, he disliked the person in front of him.

In fact, because he was forced to join the Hidden Sect, Zhuo Cengyun did not have a good impression of the people in the Hidden Sect.

But because the evidence of his crime was in their hands, Zhuo Cengyun could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Ever since Zhuo Cengyun joined the Hidden Sect, he had been cooperating with the people of the Hidden Sect, preparing to assassinate Duan Chaofeng and the higher-ups of the other forces in State Guqing. Because he was a highly qualified guest of the Harmony King Mansion, Zhuo Cengyun was responsible for coordinating the plan from the inside, which greatly increased the success rate of the Hidden Sect’s mission.

Zhuo Cengyun’s personal knowledge and information about the mansion were of higher value than his military strength.

According to Zhuo Cengyun’s arrangement, once Duan Chaofeng was assassinated and the elites of the various forces in State Guqing were attacked, Zhuo Cengyun would assist Duan Chaoyu and use the cover of the Harmony King Mansion to prepare for the deeper infiltration of the Hidden Sect into State Guqing. “What happened?”

The gray-robed man opened his eyes.

There was a deep look in his eyes.

The gray-robed man’s name was Liu Yi, and he was the leader of this assassination mission.

He was also a peak elementary origin realm master.

“One of our spies we placed in a sect has been exposed.”

Zhuo Cengyun said.

“Exposed?”

Liu Yi’s expression was a little ugly. “How did he get exposed? Those elementary origin realm masters not only know how to hide their aura, but they also all wear Aura Concealment Rings. As long as they don’t take the initiative to release their aura, they won’t be exposed, unless they encounter a stronger dao realm eighth stage master, or a master in the same realm with top-notch perception type secret treasures.”

“But ever since the previous Harmony King, Duan Yunyi, left State Guqing and went to the imperial capital, there should be no such person in the Harmony King Mansion…” “The one exposed is the spy who sneaked into the Shock Sect. I haven’t found out the specific details yet, so I still don’t know…”

Zhuo Cengyun was a little solemn, and he looked worried.

Although he disliked the people from the Hidden Sect, the fact was that they were now in the same boat.

If anything went wrong, Zhuo Cengyun would definitely be implicated.

“How do you think we should deal with this?”

Liu Yi asked for Zhuo Cengyun’s opinion.

“I don’t know.”

Zhuo Cengyun said, “If I’m not wrong, the people of the Harmony King Mansion will definitely join forces with the local forces of the Imperial Court to conduct a search and arrest. You should also know how strongly the Imperial Court feels towards the extermination of the Hidden Sect. Once they use their full strength, we will be dug out sooner or later.” “Mmm…”

Liu Yi stood up and paced around the room.

Zhuo Cengyun looked at him without saying a word.

After a long time, Liu Yi stood still.

“Change the plan.”

Liu Yi looked up and made a decision.

“Give up the assassination attempt during the Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony.”

Liu Yi said.

“Give up?”

Zhuo Cengyun was surprised.

“We have to give up.”

Liu Yi said, “According to what you said, a stronger search force may arrive soon, and there may even be top masters from the imperial capital coming over soon.” “If we leave State Guqing like this, won’t all our previous arrangements be wasted?”

Zhuo Cengyun’s expression was a little ugly. If that was the case, then he would have been forced to join this Hidden Sect for nothing.

If Duan Chaofeng was not assassinated, Duan Chaoyu would not be able to inherit the position of the Harmony King.

If that was the case, he would not become an important official of the mansion.

“Who said we are leaving?”

A cold light flashed in Liu Yi’s eyes. “We are just giving up the group assassination mission during the Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony. The assassination attempt against Duan Chaofeng will still continue.”

“Only when Duan Chaofeng dies and Duan Chaoyu becomes the Harmony King will we be able to continue our plan to infiltrate State Guqing.”

Liu Yi’s words made Zhuo Cengyun slightly relieved.

“When will the assassination of Duan Chaofeng begin?”

Zhuo Cengyun asked.

“As soon as possible.”

Liu Yi said, “The later we attack, the greater the risk of us being exposed.”

“How do we assassinate him and break into the mansion?”

Zhuo Cengyun said, “After Duan Chaofeng learned that there are dangers lurking around, he will definitely not leave the Harmony King Mansion again. And although there are no powerful dao realm eighth stage masters in the Harmony King Mansion, there are still several dao realm seventh stage masters. If we attack forcefully, not only will the casualties be high, but the operation may also not be successful. It is also possible that the Imperial Court will send troops to help during the assault.”

“Then let’s lure the tiger away from the mountain and cause a distraction.”

Liu Yi said, “We will first send people to take the initiative to expose ourselves and pretend to attack outside the mansion. After we lure away the high level dao realm masters in the mansion, we will let our remaining men sneak into the mansion and kill Duan Chaofeng.” “That could work…”

Zhuo Cengyun agreed with Liu Yi’s plan.

“Go make the final arrangement before the operation. Draw the map of the mansion, mark out the escape paths, then you shall leave the

city.”

Liu Yi said, “You can’t expose yourself now. After all, in the future, you will represent us in State Guqing.” “Okay.”

Zhuo Cengyun said, “Then I will go and find Third Young Master.”

At this moment, Duan Chaoyu had already followed Duan Yunyi’s orders to head to his fief.

He was currently waiting for news from Liu Yi. Once the matter was done, he was ready to return.

“You can find Duan Chaoyu, but remember, don’t expose yourself.”

Liu Yi reminded again.

Late at night.

Boom!

An explosion suddenly came from the side of the Harmony King Mansion.

“What’s the commotion?”

Xu Ning was meditating, but he was suddenly disturbed.

‘It’s the aura of an elementary origin realm master! Someone is attacking the mansion!’

Xu Ning quickly sensed it clearly. His expression changed slightly. ‘Could it be that the people from the Hidden Sect want to attack the Harmony King Mansion with brute force?’

Xu Ning’s mind was racing.

After Xu Ning reported the arrangements of the Hidden Sect, the Harmony King Mansion and the local forces of the Imperial Court began to jointly investigate the hidden forces of the Hidden Sect in the city.

But it hadn’t been long since then, and they hadn’t made any progress yet.

‘Could it be that the Hidden Sect knows that they are about to be exposed, so they are risking everything to attack the mansion and hurt His Highness?’ Xu Ning had basically concluded the truth of this incident.

“Let’s go find His Highness first!”

Xu Ning immediately made the decision.

Currently, in the Harmony King Mansion, there were still five elementary origin realm masters that were responsible for the safety of the mansion.

However in comparison, Xu Ning’s comprehensive combat power was much higher than them, so he was the one who could best protect Duan Chaofeng in moments of danger. “Your Highness!”

When Xu Ning came to Duan Chaofeng, he was already standing in the courtyard.

Beside him were two elementary origin realm masters protecting him.

There were even a large number of elite guards in the dao realm surrounding the courtyard.

These mansion guards were all loyal to the Harmony King Mansion, and they would not let any harm come to Duan Chaofeng even at the cost of their lives.

“Xu Ning.”

Seeing Xu Ning’s arrival, Duan Chaofeng felt much more assured.

Xu Ning’s true combat power could even kill an elementary origin realm master.

“Someone is attacking the mansion with brute force!”

Duan Chaofeng said, “Three elementary origin realm masters have already gone over to stop them.”

“Your Highness, do you plan to leave the mansion first or to wait and move according to the situation?”

Xu Ning asked.

If Duan Chaofeng wanted to leave this dangerous place first, Xu Ning could totally escort him.

“Let’s wait first.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “When the information from the frontline gets handed down, I will then decide whether to stay or leave.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, Xu Ning, Duan Chaofeng and the rest could hear the sounds of clashing from the edge of the mansion.

After fifteen minutes, the sounds of fighting gradually weakened, and the unfamiliar auras of the elementary origin realm masters began to drift away.

“Did the attackers escape?”

Xu Ning frowned.

Soon, Zhang He came.

“Your Highness.”

Zhang He rushed over and nodded at Xu Ning.

Just now, Zhang He took the risk to go to the battlefield.

“The people who broke into the mansion just now were two elementary origin realm masters, and they should be from the Hidden Sect. The three seniors of the mansion blocked them and fought them, but they were gradually not their opponent. Now, the two elementary origin realm masters of the Hidden Sect have fled, and the three elders of the mansion are currently going after them!”

Zhang He said it all in one breath.

“Good!”

Duan Chaofeng said, “The people of the Hidden Sect knew that they were already exposed, so they attacked blindly in the middle of the night. They are obviously in a mess. If we can capture those two, it will be a great contribution to the Imperial Court.”

“Okay, everyone is dismissed!”

Duan Chaofeng waved his hand and ordered his subordinates.

However, Xu Ning stood behind Duan Chaofeng and muttered.

“Your Highness.”

Xu Ning walked to Duan Chaofeng’s side. “Let’s wait before dismissing the guards. There may be a second wave of attackers.”

“Huh?”

Duan Chaofeng raised his eyebrows. “Then let us wait.”

It wasn’t that Duan Chaofeng didn’t have such a sense of crisis.

But he felt that including the elementary origin realm master Xu Ning had killed, there were already three masters of the Hidden Sect exposed.

In Duan Chaofeng’s opinion, the Hidden Sect was unlikely to send more people.

This was because according to the previous methods of the Hidden Sect, there had never been a case where more than three high level dao realm masters were dispatched.

Time slowly passed by.

“Master Xu might be worrying too much.”

An elementary origin realm master next to Duan Chaofeng said, “After so long, there should be no more attackers.”

The elementary origin realm master was an old guest in the mansion, and he was usually responsible for the safety of the mansion.

“Let’s disperse the guards first. Afterwards, I will follow His Highness closely.”

The old guest said.

However, before he could finish speaking, suddenly, there was a piercing sound from the distant night sky.

Only a dark arrow could be seen flying straight towards Duan Chaofeng.
