The Heavenly Thunder City was right next to him. It wouldn't be too far and he would be there in half a day.

At this moment, a man and a woman were walking on the public road, neither too fast nor too slow.

It was none other than Lin Tian and Li Waner.

Along the way, other than asking details of the situation, Lin Tian did not ask anymore.

The matter was completely clear. Li Waner's mother was currently beside the Heavenly Thunder City, in the hands of a group of bandit forces.

The place they were staying at was called Blackwind Ridge, and it was around a hundred miles away.

Just in case something happened, Lin Tian decided to go to the Blackwind Ridge first. After all, among the Dragon Gate Phantom, Lin Tian had directly killed the seven leaders of the Blackwind Ridge.

Right now, the people above Blackwind Ridge were like a group of dragons without a leader, and might already be in chaos. After all, it was already ten days since the Dragon Gate Phantom had activated.

So after thinking about it again and again, Lin Tian still decided to first save Li Waner's mother.

"? ?"

At the same time, in the Tianluo Country's capital, Tianluo City.

The hall master who was in charge of the Tianluo Country's sect hall before had only seen the current Monarch Of Tianluo Country today.

At this time, it had been three days since he found out that Luo Lie's Destiny Soul Plate had shattered. In other words, at this time, Luo Lie's death had happened three days ago.

But only now did he meet the king. However, he also understood that in such a small place like this, even though he was a relative of the royal family, he was actually just an ant in the eyes of the king.

The hall master even suspected that if not for Luo Lie's surname being Luo, the king would not have bothered with it.

After all, all the officials of the imperial court were saying that the king was about to go into seclusion and was going to try his best to break through to the Profound Life stage. After all, the king was no longer as young as he was in his prime.

If there were no major breakthroughs in his cultivation, the king's time would be up.

Thinking of this, the pavilion master's heart tightened, afraid that the king would forget.

The truth proved that the king had indeed forgotten, because during the assembly today, the king had not even shown his face.

The eunuch from the palace faced the entire imperial court with his Martial Dao: "The king has already gone into seclusion. All matters in the imperial court are handed to the Prince First, the Prince Second, Ninth Prince and even the highest officials to discuss about it."

With that, the Inner Palace Eunuch left, leaving the civil and military officials staring at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.

In the end, the Prince First stood out. When the time came for the king, several princes glared at the king, and among them, the Prince First, Prince Second and the Ninth Prince were the representatives. This time, the king handed over the most important matters to the three princes, and a few ministers began supporting each other, it was clear that they were here to observe the performance of these princes in handling political affairs.

The Prince First was trusted by all the officials, and he was the eldest son of the Royal Family, the one who was considered to be the most likely to inherit the throne.

Prince First stood at the front of the hall, and said to the crowd: "All officials have something to report, if there's nothing else, they can disperse."

"Reporting to Prince First, I have something to report." That hall master's name was Luo Da, and he was also a member of the Imperial Family. He knew that if he didn't speak of this matter now, he would never have another chance.

Prince First glanced at Rhoda, then said with a frown: "Rhoda, aren't you looking after my Luo Clan Hall? Why, why, do you want to apply for another position?"

The reason why Prince First remembered Rhoda was because in his impression, this Rhoda had always been extremely dissatisfied with his current position and had always wanted to apply to be transferred to another position.

This time, Rhoda said that he had something to report, and Prince First immediately thought of this matter.

Luo Da shook his head and said: "Prince First misunderstood me. This is a serious matter.

"Hmm?" Prince First raised his eyebrows, and his face changed.

When the other officials heard Luo Da's words, they were all shocked and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Speak clearly." Of course, this sudden death was referring to the assassination attempt, because no one reported the death of the Prince below, which meant that the Prince had been killed.

"Three days ago, the servant that was in charge of the Destiny Soul Board said that a spirit tablet had suddenly shattered. This subject will go and take a look, and see that it was the King of Celestial Dragon City, Luo Lie was killed by someone." Rhoda replied.

"Celestial Dragon City?" When Prince First heard this name, his eyebrows immediately furrowed. This was not for any other reason, it was because this name was too unfamiliar. He did not even know that there was such a city in Tianluo Country.

"Prince First, Luo Lie is the eighth generation grandson of the current King Yongan, Luo You, and is guarding Celestial Dragon City. Oh, right, Celestial Dragon City is a small city below Qingzhou, it is normal for Prince First to not remember him." When one of the ministers saw the Prince First's expression, he immediately went up and explained.

"Oh, after the King Yongan, I have a bit of an impression of him." The Prince First nodded his head, "Then I will leave this matter to you ?"

Before he could finish his words, Prince Second had already stepped forward from the side. "Big Brother, this little brother is willing to share some of father's worries and run errands for Big Brother. Leave this matter to me."

Prince First was slightly startled, then looked at Prince Second in surprise, but quickly understood what was going on.

He had won the support of more than half of the court officials at the same time as his second brother. However, this second brother of his had taken a completely different approach to pull most of the princes to his side.

Since he was in such a rush to come out, it must be because he knew Luo Lie from before.

Even if the Tianluo Country lacked nothing, it did not lack princes. In the entire Tianluo Country, if there were not tens of thousands, there would at least be thousands, and if this second brother wanted to rope him in, it would be just wishful thinking.

Prince First smiled slightly, then said: "That's fine, Second Brother having such thoughts, it can't be any better."

He turned his head and looked at the ministers who could discuss the matter, and the Ninth Prince, who had been silent all this time, and said with a faint smile: "Ninth Brother, Pavilion Elders, you have no objections, right?"

The few Pavilion Elders were all his people, so of course they would follow his lead. Naturally, they would have no objections, mainly because of that Ninth Brother.

The ninth prince raised his head, looked at his big brother and second brother, and suddenly laughed: "I have no objections."

"That's good." Prince First nodded his head and said: "Second brother, I will leave this matter to you. You should know what to do, right?"

"Naturally." Prince Second nodded his head: "Don't worry Big Brother, I will definitely settle this matter well."

Prince First nodded and continued to handle the other political affairs. However, he did not stay a second longer and left with Luo Da.

Tianluo Country, Prince Second's Mansion.

"Are you saying that three days ago, Luo Lie was killed by someone?" Prince Second looked at Rhoda with a sinister look.

"That's right!" Rhoda replied.

"It has already been three days, why did you only say that today? It seems that you have completely forgotten what you should do!" Prince Second's gaze immediately turned cold and harsh.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but the king hasn't come to court for the past few days!" Rhoda also felt a bit wronged. He had reported this matter to the inner palace on the first day, but it was only today that the news of the king coming to court had spread. He had rushed over, but he still hadn't met the king in the end.

"Mm, I understand. You can leave now." Prince Second waved his hand.

Rhoda originally had something he wanted to say, but seeing that Prince Second's expression was not good, he could only leave.

But just as he was about to leave, the Prince Second suddenly called out to Rhoda. "If I recommend you to my royal father that the throne be vacant, will you be willing?"

Rhoda's face was filled with ecstasy, but he immediately understood what the Prince Second meant. He did not hesitate and directly knelt down before the Prince Second, "Rhoda, from now on, you are willing to let the Prince Second order you to do as he pleases!"

He had always wanted to get out of that hellhole in the ancestral hall. Being a local despot was much more comfortable than staying in that dead person's memorial archway all day.

"You're very understanding, if nothing unexpected happens." I will fully support you in taking the throne. " Prince Second nodded in satisfaction.

Luo Da left happily. In his heart, he really wanted to thank the person who killed Luo Lie. If he didn't kill Luo Lie, such a good thing would never reach him.

Someone from the Prince Second began to mutter to himself, "Exactly, who dared to kill Luo Lie? Furthermore, three days ago, Luo Lie had just come to see him.

The Prince Second was puzzled, but he did not want to think too much, Luo Lie was the first one who supported him, under his lead, countless small cities' princes expressed their loyalty, this time Luo Lie's death, he had to do something, if not wouldn't that ruin the hearts of the princes who followed him?

"Men, find Xiao Lin for me." Prince Second shouted to the servants.

"Yes."

"..."

The Blackwind Ridge was located a hundred miles away from the western suburbs of the Heavenly Thunder City. It could be considered to be the Heavenly Thunder City, and the place that was close to the city in the western part of the Heavenly Thunder City.

The Li Family, which was also the family that Li Waner belonged to, was the number one pill refining family in the Heavenly Thunder City, so they were no exception within the Blackwind Ridge's targets. Furthermore, Lin Tian remembered that among the seven heads of the Blackwind Ridge that he had killed, the oldest one was a strong Qi Sea Stage cultivator.

This kind of power couldn't be underestimated in this area, and it was also far away from the Heavenly Thunder City. It was impossible for even the Duke of Heavenly Thunder City to stand up for the Li Family.

By the time they sent troops to wipe them out, they would have already run away.

There were sentries squatting on the ground for tens of kilometers in front of the Blackwind Ridge, and there were also people who would come to meet up with each other every so often. However, Lin Tian had already killed all of them on his way here.

The existence of the Blackwind Ridge would become a disaster sooner or later. Since he had come, he might as well clean up this piece of trash.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh. The moment Lin Tian and Li Waner appeared beneath the Blackwind Ridge, countless cold arrows shot down from nowhere.

Lin Tian dispersed his vitality, forming a faint red barrier, protecting both him and Li Waner inside.

"Truly courting death!" Lin Tian snorted, then directly threw the dragon scale spear, straight towards the direction of the arrow just now.

The Essence wrapped around the dragon scale spear, and in that instant, the dragon scale spear's power directly spread out, killing those who were hiding in the shadows and shooting cold arrows.

Miserable screams rang out one after another. After that, there was no more sound.

The dragon scale spear automatically returned into Lin Tian's hands, and in the next moment, one after another corpse suddenly fell from behind a huge boulder not far away.

But at the same time, a voice resounded throughout the entire mountain range.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Lin Tian suddenly looked over, there was one person who was not dead yet, and was about to desperately run up the mountain.

However, before they had even run far, a sound of breaking air came from behind them.

A long spear caught up to him and nailed him to the ground.

However, his voice had also completely shocked everyone on the Blackwind Ridge.

"Let's go. Right now, we can only kill our way up." Lin Tian pulled Li Waner and quickly rushed towards Blackwind Ridge.
