Chapter 254



Chapter 254

The emperor looked at Tian Lingzi deeply and said slowly: "This is a time-sensitive, important and sensitive task. I need you and the Jinyiwei to secretly investigate a case, find out the truth and deal with it properly."

Everyone was silent, full of curiosity and expectation. Tang Xizong did not reveal the purpose and content of the task, which undoubtedly aroused their greater interest.

After thinking for a moment, Tian Lingzi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please tell us the specific content of the task so that we can better perform our duties."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "A bizarre murder case occurred in the capital, and no official inside or outside can be spared. The purpose of this mission is to investigate the case, find the murderer and solve the matter thoroughly."

Tian Lingzi knew the importance of the task, and he solemnly agreed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to bring the murderer to justice."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and waved to the other Jinyiwei to withdraw.

The Jinyiwei had been through the battlefield for a long time, and they were all murderous. They understood that this mission was different from the usual ones, full of unknowns and dangers.

Devil's Claw Tengchong stroked the handle of his knife, his eyes firm: "This mission seems not simple, we must remain vigilant and cannot be negligent."

Song Jueping took the double hammers from his waist with a bang, waved them a few times, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must ensure the smooth completion of the mission."

Poison King Yao Dahai had a cold look in his eyes, and a silver-white little snake was hovering in his hands. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a slightly cunning smile: "The murderer will pay the price, I promise."

Tian Lingzi looked at the Jinyiwei, each of them was an outstanding warrior with extraordinary strength and experience. He took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

"Everyone, we will face many difficulties and tests, but we must believe in our own strength and the tacit understanding of the team. As long as we work together, we can successfully complete this mission."

The Jinyiwei nodded in agreement. They knew that what Tian Lingzi said made sense, and they also believed that only by uniting as one can they cope with the various tests that will follow.

Tian Lingzi held the hilt of the sword, exuding a breath of confidence and determination.

"Let's go! We must fight for justice and let the murderer receive the punishment he deserves." Tian Lingzi's voice was firm.

The Jinyiwei followed Tian Lingzi out of the palace, with lofty ambitions and mixed feelings. They embarked on an unknown journey and began their secret investigation.

The Jinyiwei quickly passed through the palace gate and stepped onto the streets and alleys of the city. As night fell, the waterside streets of Jiangnan became more quiet and full of a mysterious atmosphere.

Through investigation and intelligence collection, they determined that the first crime scene was in a Buddhist temple. The temple was silent, with only the faint candlelight illuminating the surroundings.

Devil's Claw Tengchong reminded: "Everyone be careful and prepare for battle."

Tian Lingzi nodded, and the Jinyiwei followed closely and entered the temple.

The footsteps gradually disappeared, and the entire Buddhist temple was filled with peace and silence. They carefully searched every corner, hoping to find some valuable clues.

Suddenly, Song Jueping raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Bloodstains were found!" His voice was low but full of vigilance.

Everyone gathered together and saw a pool of dark red blood on the ground. This proved that something unusual had happened in this Buddhist temple.

Poison King Yao Dahai came forward and sniffed deeply, "There is a strange smell. It seems that the murderer used a special poison here."

Tian Lingzi frowned and picked up a delicate silver needle from the ground. "This is a poison needle. It seems that the murderer was premeditated."

The Jinyiwei exchanged glances, and they were all worried. Since the murderer used poison and poison needles, it was obviously extraordinary, and their task became more difficult.

"We must find the whereabouts of the murderer as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from being harmed." Tian Lingzi said in a firm tone.

Everyone nodded in tacit understanding. They knew the urgency of time. It was their responsibility and mission to find the murderer and solve the case.

After leaving the Buddhist temple, the Jinyiwei began to search all over the capital. They repeatedly checked the area around the crime scene to find any clues related to the case.

With his extraordinary observation skills, Tengchong found a hidden place hidden in the dense bushes. He seemed to avoid many traps with ease, wielding his two sharp blades to eliminate obstacles.

"Jinyiwei, follow me!" Tengchong led the Jinyiwei to gradually approach the hidden place.

The moment he walked into the hidden place, Tian Lingzi suddenly felt a chill, as if a pair of eyes were watching him in the dark.

"Be careful! We are ambushed!" Tian Lingzi hurriedly reminded everyone. The Jinyiwei immediately became alert, took out their weapons, and tensed up.

Suddenly, a black shadow pounced on Tian Lingzi from the dark, and the black dagger flashed with cold light.

Tian Lingzi reacted quickly and fought with the black shadow. The Jinyiwei quickly gathered around to provide support for Tian Lingzi.

The sword light, knife shadow, and palm power intertwined together, and the entire hiding place instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield. The battle was in full swing, and fierce attacks appeared alternately, and each shot contained a fatal threat.

"Hmm!" Poison King Yao Dahai suddenly smiled, and he changed his body flexibly, and couldn't help but chuckled.

The Jinyiwei felt unusual, and they couldn't help but intensify their offensive, trying to subdue the murderer before he attacked.

Suddenly, a sound of wood friction came, and everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

A secret door slowly opened, and a dark figure walked out with nimble steps. He was wearing a black robe and a black mask, so his true face could not be seen.

Tian Lingzi looked at the man in black coldly, his voice low. "You are the murderer! Tell me why you created this..."The black-clad man smiled slightly, his voice was like the night wind, "You bunch of ants, do you think you can stop me? My plan has already begun, and it can't be stopped anymore." Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only silence. The Jinyiwei searched everywhere, but the black-clad man's ghost-like skills made him elusive and there was no trace. "This guy is too cunning!" Tengchong gritted his teeth and said angrily. Tian Lingzi's eyes were deep, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, "Don't let your guard down, we must find him to end this nightmare. "

The Jinyiwei regrouped and searched every corner around them with full concentration. They carefully walked through the dark corridor, looking for clues hidden in the dark.

Suddenly, a faint light shone through the crack of a door in a room. Tian Lingzi's heart moved, as if he had discovered a new world, and he quickly led the Jinyiwei into the room.

The sharp sword blade in the room flashed with the afterglow of the moonlight, reflecting the filthy bloodstains on the wall. This room was obviously used for some illegal activities, and it was very likely the murderer's hiding place.

"Be careful! "The claws surged and he suddenly shouted, swinging the double hammers in his hands like lightning.

Everyone looked around vigilantly, but found nothing. The man in black had disappeared again, and he seemed to be walking in front of everyone with his strange ability.
