Chapter 26 Doubts, Identity Exposure
After returning to the room on the third floor, Ji Tianxing took off his mask.
His expression was a little solemn, and his heart was heavy.
Although he had long expected that when the Scarlet Star Flower was in full bloom, many forces must have heard the wind and rushed to the Taiye Mountains to snatch it.
But he did not expect that there were hundreds of warriors gathered in an inn in Taiye Town.
These warriors basically have the strength of the real yuan realm, and there are several masters above the seventh level of the real yuan realm.
As for the martial artist in the body refining realm, there are several, but they are all here to join in the fun, and there is basically no hope of capturing the red star flower.
For Ji Tianxing, the warriors in this inn are all his potential competitors or enemies!
There are only so many warriors living in the inn. How many forces and warriors are hidden in the dark who do not live in the inn?
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing felt more and more heavy in his heart.
After nightfall, he sat cross-legged on the bed after dinner, and continued to condense his sword qi.
Although the number of sword qi has reached the limit, he absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth to make each sword qi more solid and powerful.
By the time he had condensed and strengthened all twelve sword qi, three hours had passed.
The Laifu Inn in the middle of the night fell into silence.
Most of the tenants had settled down, and only one light remained in the lobby.
After Ji Tianxing finished his work, he walked to the window, ready to close the window to sleep.
But out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures in the corner of the backyard, quietly wriggling.
The two warriors were all dressed in black, and they seemed to be wearing masks. They were very cautious and didn't make a sound.
Although the night was dark, Ji Tianxing could vaguely see that the two men were carrying a large box and quietly touched the back door.
The two quietly opened the back door and carried the box out.
Ji Tianxing frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
He subconsciously went out of the door and silently touched the back door of the yard.
He was wearing a black cloak and a mask, and he was not afraid of being discovered when sneaking in the dark.
When he chased after the back door, he saw the two warriors carrying the boxes and drilled into an alley along the courtyard wall.
He followed up on tiptoe, in order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he did not dare to follow too close.
After a while, the two masked warriors carried the box to the depths of the alley and carried the box into a dark room.
Then the two of them backed out and quietly returned to the Laifu Inn.
Ji Tianxing hid in the dark corner of the alley, holding his breath and making no sound.
After the two warriors left, he got into the dark room.
The room seemed to be uninhabited for many years, and there was a smell of decay. There were cobwebs everywhere, and the ground was covered with dust and debris.
Ji Tianxing searched for a while in the dark, and then found the big box in the pile of firewood in the corner.
He tried to lift it, the big box was heavy, like it was filled with steel or stone.
In doubt, he took out the fire stick and lit the fire, and checked the box by the weak light.
After only one look, he frowned, and there was a deep doubt in his eyes.
The cast iron box is locked, and the lock is a gear the size of a palm, which can only be opened by rotating to the corresponding position.
Ji Tianxing was very familiar with this kind of box!
Because, the Ji family's forge workshop uses this kind of box to hold weapons and equipment!
He tried to rotate the black gear and screwed it to the corresponding position, and the lock was opened with a "click".
Ji Tianxing opened the lid of the box and saw that there were more than 20 swords in scabbard skins in the box.
The mackerel is a high-level vicious beast in the sea, and the Ji family's forging workshop generally only equips Xuan-level swords with scabbards of this material.
Ji Tianxing casually picked up a sword, checked the hilt, and saw that the word "Ji" in seal script was engraved on the hilt.
His face became more and more gloomy, and the doubt in his eyes was even more, and he glanced at the pattern on the blade.
The thorn-like circular pattern made him immediately conclude that this mysterious sword came from the Xuanjian workshop in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city.
"It really is a sword forged by my Ji family! These twenty-four Xuan-level swords are worth more than one million taels, how could they appear here?"
"Isn't that the Xuanjian workshop in the eastern suburbs run by the second uncle?"
Ji Tianxing was full of doubts, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange.
In order not to be discovered, he put the sword back in the box intact and locked it again.
Then he extinguished the fire and quietly returned to the Laifu Inn.
However, when he returned to the Laifu Inn, there were constant quarrels and shouts in the lobby.
When Ji Tianxing walked into the lobby, he saw two figures fighting with each other, and the "clank" of swords colliding constantly sounded.
After listening to a few sentences, he understood. It turned out that the inn was full and only the last room was left.
Two groups of people happened to arrive at the inn at the same time, so they quarreled about the room.
One of the group of people is three young people from Qingyun Imperial City.
The three of them are gorgeously dressed and have a noble attitude. Naturally, they are also arrogant and domineering when they speak.
The other group of four came from the barbarian state, where the folk customs are sturdy.
The leader of the four has a hot temper again. He doesn't care if the other party is a noble of the imperial city, if he doesn't deal with it in two words, he will start a fight.
The quarrel and fight between the two sides woke up more than a dozen guests, who all ran to the lobby to watch the fun.
Ji Tianxing didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing, and he had to go up the stairs to go back to the room after passing through the lobby.
But unfortunately, the white-robed young man in the real Yuan realm slashed at the bald man with tattoos on his forehead, and was slashed on the blade by the bald man.
Immediately, the sword that was flickering with cold light deviated from the direction and went straight to Ji Tianxing.
The white-robed youth was very close to Ji Tianxing, only five steps away.
This sword came suddenly and as fast as lightning.
Although Ji Tianxing retreated in time to dodge, he was unable to avoid the sword, and was hit in the cheek by the blade.
There was a crisp sound of "clang", and the black iron mask he wore on his face was cut in half by the sword on the spot, and fell to the ground with a "dang clang".
Ji Tianxing suddenly looked gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The white-robed young man and the bald-headed man glanced at him with no change in expression, and continued to fight again.
However, the two companions of the young man in white robes had been watching and cheering, when their eyes fell on Ji Tianxing's face, and suddenly there was a sound of surprise.
"Hey! Isn't this... Ji Tianxing? Is it the eldest young master of the Ji family?"
"Hehe, it really is the first genius of the past, and today's Ji Da trash! Even the sword can't be avoided. If this accidentally hurts Ji Da Young Master's face, we can't afford it!"
Obviously, the two aristocratic youths knew Ji Tianxing and saw his identity on the spot.
