A tree corpse

After killing Li Xing and the man in black, Chu Feng originally wanted the Imperial City Guards to clean up the battlefield, but he found that the Imperial City Guards had been withdrawn at some point, and there was no one guarding the Beiliang Palace.

He had just returned, and the Imperial City Guards had withdrawn. At night, someone came in to kill him. It seemed that all this was aimed at him, and the person behind the scenes was most likely the royal family.

After all, the only people who could easily mobilize the Imperial City Guards were the royal family.

When Chu Feng thought of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly swore in his heart that no matter who it was, even if the person behind the scenes was the emperor, he would kill them without hesitation.

Chu Feng carefully searched the bodies of the man in black and Li Xing, trying to see if he could find any evidence.

As a result, Chu Feng found a black metal token engraved with the word "shadow" on Li Xing's body. Seeing this token, Chu Feng was more certain of his guess that the person behind the scenes must be a member of the royal family.

Because this token is the identity token of the shadow guard, which only the shadow guard beside the emperor has. With the token, they can enter and exit any place in the territory of Da Chu at will, and have the power to kill first and report later, and the shadow guard only obeys the emperor of Da Chu.

Could it be that the person behind this is the emperor of Da Chu?

The emperor can't tolerate our Chu family because of our great achievements, so he secretly sent the shadow guard to destroy the Chu family?

Chu Feng made a bold guess in his heart.

Chu Feng carried the two corpses to the willow tree in the yard and hung the two corpses directly on it. He wanted to see who dared to collect their bodies.

After doing all this, Chu Feng returned to his room again, sat cross-legged, and continued to practice.

That night, people approached the Beiliang Palace one after another, but most people were watching from the outside and inquiring about the situation, and no one dared to approach rashly.

However, there were still brave people and those who were ordered to kill Chu Feng who climbed over the wall and entered the Beiliang Palace.

A group of three people, wearing masks and night clothes, came to Chu Feng's inner courtyard quietly.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw two corpses hanging in Chu Feng's courtyard. The three of them were stunned on the spot and were shocked by the scene in front of them.

How could there be two corpses? And it seemed that they had just died not long ago.

The three of them looked at each other, and then they rushed to Chu Feng's room at the fastest speed without caring about anything else. No matter what, they would kill Chu Feng together first.

With the cultivation strength of the three of them at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, it was more than enough to kill Chu Feng together, and there was no need to be afraid of Chu Feng.

However, as soon as the three people arrived outside the door, Chu Feng's door opened automatically, and a figure appeared in front of them in an instant.

"What!"

The three of them were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect the speed of the person coming was so fast.

This figure was none other than Chu Feng who was practicing in the room. Chu Feng had discovered them when they approached the courtyard.

Chu Feng threw punches without saying anything.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three punches were thrown out quickly, hitting the three black-clothed masked men in front of him almost at the same time, instantly knocking them flying backwards.

The three men seemed to be hit on the chest by a huge hammer, and they vomited blood and fell heavily in the middle of the yard.

The three men didn't even understand what was going on, but they were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

The three men showed horror on their faces, and their eyes were full of despair.

"Tell me, who sent you three? Tell me and I can give you three a quick death."

Chu Feng stood in place, staring at the three men in front of him with cold eyes, and asked in a cold voice.

Chu Feng's words were like sentencing them to death, making the three people feel hopeless and completely desperate.

"I didn't expect that you are not stupid, but so strong. It seems that all of us have been deceived by you. What a good trick," the black-clothed man who was the leader of the three said unwillingly.

"The Chu family has provoked someone they can't afford to offend. You won't live long!"

The black-clothed man said this and gritted his teeth. The two men beside him did the same. The three of them bit the poison hidden in their mouths and committed suicide.

Chu Feng couldn't help but frowned when he saw this. He didn't expect that these three people would take poison directly. He really underestimated the determination of these guys.

Chu Feng casually hung the bodies of these three people on the willow tree and turned back to the room to continue practicing.

After these three people, people continued to sneak into the courtyard and wanted to assassinate Chu Feng.

However, these people were all in the Qi Gathering Realm. No one could withstand Chu Feng's punch. In the end, they all became corpses and were hung on the willow tree in the courtyard by Chu Feng.

In the morning, people from the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion came to help Chu Feng set up the mourning hall.

Ma Mingshan brought his granddaughter Ma Qianying to Chu Feng's courtyard. As soon as the grandfather and grandson stepped into the courtyard, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Looking at the dense corpses hanging on the willow trees in the courtyard, the two couldn't help but tremble, gasp, and look at the scene in front of them with shock.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Ma Qianying's pretty face was full of disbelief, looking at the corpses in disbelief.

"This, is this Li Xing?"

Ma Mingshan recognized the corpse of Li Xing in white clothes at a glance. After all, he was the most conspicuous among the group of people in black.

But when he saw clearly that it was really Li Xing, he was shocked again. This Li Xing was a disciple of the Sword Saint and the shadow guard beside the emperor. How could his body appear here?

Not to mention these, just Li Xing's strength, that is known as the invincible existence under the innate, how could he be killed?

Could it be that all these people were killed by Chu Feng?

Ma Mingshan was not only shocked, but also had a turbulent heart. If these people were killed by Chu Feng, how strong was Chu Feng?

Could it be that Chu Feng had been hiding all these years?

He really couldn't understand Chu Feng more and more.

Ma Mingshan even regretted breaking off the engagement with Chu Feng too early, and waited and watched.

At this moment, Chu Feng opened the door and walked out, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Meet the Marquis of Zhenxi, you came quite early."

"What's going on? Did you kill all these people?" Ma Mingshan pointed to the dozen corpses hanging on the tree and asked in disbelief.

"Oh, these people broke into the Beiliang Palace one after another last night, intending to assassinate me, and I killed them on the spot and hung them here to deter the villains," Chu Feng said calmly, as if talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, do you know these people?" Chu Feng asked casually, but he was actually staring at Ma Mingshan, wanting to see his reaction.

Ma Mingshan shook his head and said, "I don't know them. They are probably assassins sent by the Northern Mang Barbarians."

"What a pity. I was thinking about finding out the identities of these people and finding out who is behind them. After all, if they dare to assassinate the King of Beiliang, it is a crime of killing nine clans," Chu Feng said with some regret.

"By the way, I also found a token from one of them. Does the Marquis of Zhenxi recognize it?"

Chu Feng showed the token of the shadow guard and handed it to Ma Mingshan.

Ma Mingshan's eyes widened when he saw this, and his hand that stretched out to take the token was shaking. He naturally recognized the token of the shadow guard, but now he could only pretend to be confused.

Ma Mingshan glanced casually, shook his head and said, "I don't know them. I have never seen such a token."

"Really? Have you heard of the shadow guard?" Chu Feng asked.
