C490 Assassination
As soon as Ning Qi left the Heaven Secret Academy, he was captured alive by Dongfang Haojie who had been waiting outside.
"Follow me."
Dongfang Haojie said concisely and decisively.
"Where to?"
Ning Qi asked doubtfully.
"To see Eunuch Yuv."
Dongfang Haojie said.
"This... you can't be thinking of sending me into the Palace to be a eunuch, right? I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Ning Qi looked at Dongfang Haojie suspiciously and waved his hand.
Dongfang Haojie looked at Ning Qi speechlessly.
"Hahaha, I was just joking. Mr. Dongfang, you really don't have any sense of humor. Let's go!"
Ning Qi laughed loudly and flew towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Dongfang Haojie looked at Ning Qi's back and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
...
This time, Yuv Sijin had become more formal. After asking about Ning Qi's background, Yuv Sijin couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"A genius like little brother is really rare. No wonder Academy Master Jin knew you. It turns out that you and his disciple, Mong Doulu, have such a reason. Apart from that, he also found an Ancient Times Puppet in Withered Bone Forbidden Land. Whether it was talent or luck, they were both much stronger than ordinary Heavenly Prodigy. Oh right, the Ning Qi who ranked 100th in the Dragon Ranking, is that you? "
" You flatter me, Eunuch Yuv. "
Ning Qi said modestly. He didn't intend to say too much. After all, the person standing in front of him was an Old Eunuch who had lived for countless of years. This kind of existence was the scariest. Perhaps he had accidentally leaked something. This person would be able to grasp this little clue and dig out your background.
After learning about the relationship between Ning Qi and the Golden Saint, the biggest doubt in Yuv Sijin's heart was finally resolved. He left Ning Qi to play in his mansion for a long time before bidding goodbye to Dongfang Haojie and leaving.
The next day, Dongfang Haojie told Ning Qi a piece of news.
"Wu Lingfeng's mother is one of the nine great families, the ninth daughter of the Sixth Elder of the Faang family. She has already announced that whoever can kill you and me will get a Low-grade Heaven-rank Battle Weapon."
"What? How dare she be so arrogant and kill someone so brazenly?!"
Ning Qi said in shock.
"This news naturally isn't spread publicly, and there's no evidence to prove it. It's the bounty placed by Fang Yun, so I guess all the assassins... During this period of time, you've been keeping an eye on us. It's better not to go to the streets and show off, in case someone kills you on the streets. After all, your puppet can't always protect you at all times."
Dongfang Haojie said in a flat tone.
"Can I also put up a bounty for someone to kill Fang Yun? Let's kill Wu Lingfeng and Martial King as well."
Ning Qi asked.
Dongfang Haojie looked at him speechlessly. After a while, Ning Qi nodded and said, "I know. I can't, right?"
"Yes."
Dongfang Haojie nodded his head. "There won't be any assassins who will take your order. Instead, if the news were to spread out, the Emperor would probably personally order people to arrest you."
"Then forget it. I still have to stay for a month. Come, let's fight."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
In the following days, Ning Qi was continuously beaten up by Dongfang Haojie. His True Second Stage Divine Battle Body had been tempered for a month and strengthened a little. However, Ning Qi estimated that it would take him about half a year to reach the third stage.
Furthermore, it had to be done with high-intensity training like today, or else it would take even longer.
Ning Qi checked his attributes.
Host: Ning Qi.
Level Six Star Battle Emperor
Experience Points: 5632460 / 60,000,000

Ning Qi was very satisfied with his HP. Amongst which, there was a True Second Stage Divine Battle Body. The first stage gave him 10,000 HP, and the second stage gave him 20,000 HP. Ning Qi estimated that the third part would give him an additional 30,000 HP.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Qi went to the Heaven Secret Academy and obtained the second Supreme Dragon Slaying. He then went straight to the north gate, preparing to leave the Jing City and return to the Cloud Rising Sect.
Heavenly Sword Marquis stood on the wall of the north gate and looked at Ning Qi coldly. No one knew what he was planning in his heart.
In the vicinity, there were at least twenty pairs of eyes looking at Ning Qi with malicious intent.
Ning Qi smiled and walked out of the gate without hesitation.
"He went out!"
"Follow him!"
The old man shouted. "As long as we kill him and Dongfang Haojie, we will be able to get a Low-grade Heaven-rank Battle Artifact item!"
Countless greedy eyes followed Ning Qi out of the city. But at this moment, they saw Ning Qi looking back at them with a smile.
In the next moment, he released the bronze puppet.
"This..."
When everyone sensed the aura on the bronze puppet, their expressions became incomparably ugly.
Heavenly Sword Marquis shook his head and turned around to leave. He knew that he wouldn't be able to see Ning Qi giving the order.
Ning Qi mocked these assassins, "You think you can kill someone with your tracking skills? Go back and practice for a few more years! Hahaha! "
After saying that, he directly flew onto the bronze puppet's shoulder. After that, the bronze puppet started running towards the Cloud Rising Sect. Every time his feet touched the ground, the ground would shake violently. It was as if an earthquake had occurred.
This was done on purpose by Ning Qi. He wanted to intimidate these assassins.
After leaving about a thousand miles away from the Jing City and making sure that no one was following him, Ning Qi put away the bronze puppet with a pained expression. This was all because he was burning the Dragon Slaying Coin!0
After that, Ning Qi released the Purple and sat on its back, speeding towards the Cloud Rising Sect.
Not long after, a red shadow caught up and looked at Ning Qi's back. Her eyes lit up, "Grandpa told me that a killer must do something big as soon as he debuts. Only by spreading their reputation can they receive more orders. If I can kill this guy and then kill Dongfang Haojie... Not only can I get a Low-grade Heaven-rank Battle Artifact, I can also let the assassin world know my name..."
Thinking of this, the red shadow quickly chased after the direction where Ning Qi had disappeared.
Her speed was far faster than the Purple, and it didn't take long for her to catch up to Ning Qi. She had used some kind of martial skill to hide herself tightly, and even if Ning Qi looked up, he wouldn't be able to see the red shadow.
"Now is a good time. If I slash down with my sword, he will die for sure. But if he releases that puppet, I don't think he will be a match for me..."
The red shadow looked at Ning Qi with some hesitation.
At this moment, Ning Qi stretched his body.
The red shadow saw what happened and instantly appeared. He thrust his sword at Ning Qi and impartially stabbed into Ning Qi's chest.
One hit and he fled a thousand miles away.
Ning Qi stared at the wound on his chest with his mouth wide open. It was bleeding. However, he still had over 800,000 HP left. This strike had taken away nearly half of his HP. The key was that Ning Qi did not have the time to see the person who had stabbed him. He had escaped!
