Chapter 6: The First Emperor: What! He killed Zhao Gao?
Qingyi quickly retreated to Ying Heng's side. She looked around and listened carefully, her face solemn and dignified.

Ying Heng was calm and composed. He did not pay too much attention to Zhao Gao. Instead, he used his spiritual perception to search for the existence of a hidden master in the hall.

This expert's strength is unfathomable, he has reached the peak of Grandmaster, and may even be at the level of a half-step celestial being.
This person has been lurking for a long time and has never made a move. Ying Heng also finds it difficult to determine which force he belongs to.

However, since you are keeping your troops inactive and don't know how to assess the situation, don't blame me for being rude!
There was a gleam in Ying Heng's eyes. He stopped speculating and gave orders to Qing Yi in a deep voice.

"Qingyi, close your five senses, return to your true nature, let your mind completely empty, perform the art of 'changing the sky and striking the earth', and use your mental power to perceive the world around you."

After saying that, Ying Heng used his mental strength to guide a strike at Qingyi's Niwan Palace as lightly as a spring breeze blowing on willows.

With a loud bang, Qingyi's cultivation, which had been stagnant at the peak of the grandmaster level for a long time, seemed to break out of its cocoon. The spiritual power that had been accumulated for a long time, led by Ying Heng, surged out like a torrent.

In an instant, the whole world became extremely clear in her mind's vision.

Despite her limited vision and hearing, she could see every inch of the palace, from the subtle texture to the grand layout, everything was under her control.

Especially the figure that was swiftly flying through the air, with nowhere to hide.

A sneer appeared on Qingyi's lips, and he thought to himself: I finally caught you!
"drink!"

Then, the figure in green suddenly turned into a stream of green light and shot towards a corner like an arrow.

The whole person was like a dragon emerging from the abyss, instantly locking onto the target and rushing straight forward.

That was exactly where Zhao Gao was going to land after using his invisible body skills!

boom! ! !
The green Qi exploded like thunder, and wood chips on the wall instantly flew everywhere. A disheveled figure was suddenly blasted out of the hidden corner amidst the debris.

With a muffled "Puff" sound, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed out, instantly staining the man's clothes red.

Zhao Gao, the once invincible figure, now lay in a pile of broken wood, his face as pale as paper, revealing shock and fear that were difficult to conceal.

"Impossible! How could you find me?!"

He opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Indeed, in his cognition, he has quietly stepped into the peak of the Grandmaster for many years and possesses peerless lightness skills. Even if he does not dare to claim to be invincible, it is very difficult to leave a scar on him.

At least, except for those legendary warriors in the realm of heaven and man, no one can touch his figure.

However, what happened today undoubtedly overturned his cognition.

The maidservant beside the Thirteenth Young Master actually broke his formless and invisible technique and struck him hard, causing him to fall to the ground.

You know, in today's world, warriors at the celestial level have long disappeared without a trace, and this maid obviously did not show an aura beyond that of a grandmaster.

Zhao Gao couldn't figure out how he had been exposed in front of this mysterious maid.

Also confused was the Emperor's secret agent Shadow, who was hiding in the dark corners of the palace.

As a top master who is half a step away from heaven, he could only barely keep up with Zhao Gao's ever-changing movements. It was even more difficult for him to lock on accurately, let alone defeat Zhao Gao with a thunderous force like this maid.

What kind of magical martial arts did the Thirteenth Young Master's maid practice that allowed her to possess such powerful perception and killing power?
The original purpose of the First Emperor sending Shadow here was to save Ying Heng's life from Zhao Gao's conspiracy.

However, everything before them was beyond their expectations.

Now it seems that the role positioning between the Thirteenth Prince and Zhao Gao, hunter and prey, is still difficult to determine.

After all, in this Xianyang city, shadows have been prevalent for many years, but no one has ever noticed the existence of a master of Qingyi's level.

The Thirteenth Prince was obviously more secretive than one could imagine. After realizing this, Shadow flashed and quickly evacuated the scene, eager to report this shocking news to the First Emperor.

The fake death incident began, and the first sword to surface was the Thirteenth Young Master Ying Heng!
Inside the bedroom, Ying Heng did not take Zhao Gao's life, but ordered Qingyi to destroy Zhao Gao's internal strength with a palm, making him a disabled person, and then sent him back to the mansion for strict supervision.

He knew very well that even though Zhao Gao had lost his martial arts skills, he could still be used.

At this moment, Ying Heng realized that the expert who had been lurking in the dark had already left. The reason he did not act rashly before was because he was afraid of a possible surprise attack from the other party.

However, I didn't expect that in this Xianyang city, there was actually a peerless master who was halfway to reaching the realm of heaven. I wonder who he is?
Nevertheless, if the master remains silent, that will be fine. But if he provokes him rashly, Ying Heng will let him see the true power of heaven and man!

No longer paying attention to the mysterious master, Ying Heng walked into the inner room and looked at the body of the First Emperor lying on the bed, without noticing anything unusual.

For the past twenty years, Ying Heng has always presented himself as a romantic and indulgent man. He rarely went to court to participate in political affairs and had few opportunities to come into contact with Ying Zheng. Therefore, it was understandable that he failed to see through the situation.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, this emperor who accomplished the great cause of unification!"

"Father, your feat of unifying the six kingdoms is indeed extraordinary, but your efforts in maintaining the status quo are somewhat inferior."

"Forget it, let the child shoulder the next important task."

"In a few years, if you know from your grave, you will be surprised and pleased to see that you, the Thirteenth Prince who was once regarded as useless, can actually push Daqin to the position of the overlord of Blue Star."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission. You will be rewarded with 3,000 elite Jinyiwei and be granted the right to serve under Jinyiwei Commander Qinglong.]

The atmosphere in the secret room was solemn.

"Report!"

"Tell me! After the Thirteenth Young Master entered the palace, he had already given the Imperial Chariot Officer..."

"what?!"

When Ying Zheng heard the news, he was shocked and furious: "How dare Ying Heng, this rebellious son, kill Zhao Gao?!"

"He was my most trusted confidant. He attacked Zhao Gao right after I passed away. What's his intention?!"

boom!
With a loud bang, Ying Zheng slammed the table in anger, and the wooden table shattered.

"This is rebellion! A blatant defiance of my will!"

"The traitor! What a traitor!"

"I thought he was the most filial, but I didn't expect that."

"No! Zhao Gao is a great master of the time, with superb body movements and surrounded by many top experts. How could Ying Heng, a weak and helpless dandy boy, possibly hurt him?!"

After his rage, Zulong became suspicious and questioned.

"Reporting to your majesty, the maid Qingyi beside the Thirteenth Young Master is actually a hidden master-level expert. Her martial arts attainments are profound and she can easily subdue Zhao Gao."

"Even the best soldiers under the command of the Minister of the Imperial Chariots are completely vulnerable in front of her."

"How does this grandmaster-level maid compare to you?"

"Your Majesty, Qingyi's strength is indeed first-rate, but in my humble opinion, he is not yet a threat."

"If there are no unexpected circumstances, I am confident that I can defeat him within a hundred moves."
