Chapter 1052 Home Under Attack

 

In the bamboo forest north of Beidu, there was a small thatched cottage.

An elderly man with simple clothes and white hair and beard was sitting at a desk inside the cottage, writing something.

There was no one else in the bamboo forest, only some small insects and birds making chirping sounds.

Even on top of the thatched cottage, several small birds were perching.

Bai Konggu, who was working at his desk in the cottage, finished writing the last character and stood up.

He stuffed the paper into his pocket, turned around and walked out of the cottage, heading toward the edge of the bamboo forest.

He didn’t notice that behind him, at the top of the bamboo forest, two figures in black were silently watching him.

“The target seems to be leaving. Should we make our move now?” one of the black-clothed men asked.

“Lord Fu Han said this person is suspected of betrayal… he’s walking so hurriedly now, as if he’s going to do something… let’s not make a move yet, let’s see what he’s up to,” the other black-clothed man said.

So, the two black-clothed men followed behind Bai Konggu, leaving the bamboo forest together and returning to the central area of Beidu.

…

Bai Konggu used a technique to conceal his appearance.

Then, he walked straight toward Fang Yu’s mansion.

Soon, he arrived in front of the gate of North Capital No. 101.

Bai Konggu took out the white paper from his pocket, thought for a moment, placed it on the ground in front of the gate, and then turned to leave.

But at that moment, the two stone doors slowly opened.

Ye Shengxue walked out from the gate, picked up the paper from the ground, looked at Bai Konggu, and called out, “Sir, hello. May I ask who you are…”

Bai Konggu turned around, about to speak.

“Whoosh!”

Two black figures descended from the sky, landing on either side of Bai Konggu.

They emanated a cold killing intent.

Seeing this, Ye Shengxue’s expression changed, and she stepped back a few paces.

“Bai Konggu, you sold Sky Observation Bureau’s intelligence to others… We are here on Lord Fu Han’s orders to eliminate you!” one of the black-clothed men said coldly.

Bai Konggu looked at the black-clothed men on either side, smiled sadly, and said, “Master Xiu’s reaction is indeed quick.”

The two black-clothed men ignored Bai Konggu and looked at Ye Shengxue, their eyes filled with coldness and endless killing intent.

Ye Shengxue had already sensed the danger and immediately retreated, wanting to run back inside the gate.

“This woman has been in contact with the intelligence provided by Bai Konggu. Eliminate her as well!” one of the black-clothed men said.

The other black-clothed man lightly waved his right hand.

A silver flash appeared, and a dagger materialized in his hand.

At the same time, he extended his left hand and pulled back forcefully.

Ye Shengxue, who was running toward the gate, felt a tremendous force hit her, and her entire body flew backward, landing in front of the black-clothed man.

The black-clothed man gripped the dagger and was about to stab it into Ye Shengxue’s neck.

At this moment, Bai Konggu’s aura erupted!

He struck out with both palms, hitting the black-clothed man.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the black-clothed man’s body tilted and was pushed back several meters.

The dagger that was about to pierce Ye Shengxue’s neck grazed past her throat, missing by a hair’s breadth, leaving only a bloody scratch.

The other black-clothed man reacted quickly, his face cold, stomping his foot on the ground, and his figure flashed behind Bai Konggu.

“Stab!”

Bai Konggu groaned in pain, looked down, and saw that the dagger had already pierced through his abdomen.

The black-clothed man pulled out the dagger and kicked Bai Konggu in the back.

“Puff!”

Bai Konggu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, fell forward, and could no longer move.

“Old fool,” the black-clothed man’s eyes were contemptuous as he turned to look at Ye Shengxue at his feet, raising his right foot.

Ye Shengxue’s eyes widened as she looked at this foot.

Then, the right foot came crashing down!

Ye Shengxue closed her eyes.

“Swoosh!”

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared, enveloping Ye Shengxue’s body.

“Bang!”

The black-clothed man’s right foot stomped on the ground, making an explosive sound as the floor collapsed.

But Ye Shengxue had disappeared without a trace.

The two black-clothed men looked around but didn’t see anyone, nor did they sense any aura.

When they turned back, another beam of light flashed.

Bai Konggu, who had fallen forward, had also disappeared!

The two black-clothed men were stunned.

At this moment, the two stone doors in front began to slowly close.

At this point, the two men knew that it must have been someone inside the mansion who had saved the woman and Bai Konggu!

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes extremely cold, and immediately rushed toward the gate.

“Bang!”

When they approached the gate, they felt as if they had hit a solid rock wall, were bounced back, and felt pain throughout their bones.

“This is… a defensive formation!”

The two black-clothed men retreated several steps.

By now, the two stone doors had completely closed, and they could no longer see the situation inside.

The two black-clothed men looked extremely displeased.

Their mission today was to kill Bai Konggu.

Although that strike had severely injured Bai Konggu, he hadn’t died before their eyes!

In this case, the mission couldn’t be considered complete, and they couldn’t report back to Lord Fu Han!

They had to break into this mansion, find Bai Konggu, kill him on the spot, and bring his corpse back to Fu Han!

The two black-clothed men exchanged another glance, their eyes cold.

Both turned their heads toward the gate in front, raised their hands to form seals, and began chanting incantations.

“Boom!”

Next, two powerful streams of true energy struck the two stone doors of the mansion, making a rumbling sound.

At this point, both black-clothed men could clearly see that their true energy was blocked by a faint light screen just before it touched the stone doors.

This was the defensive formation of the mansion!

At the same time, it also indicated… this mansion was not an ordinary one, but possibly belonged to a martial arts family in Beidu!

But… in their eyes, martial arts families were nothing!

Anyone who opposed the Sky Observation Bureau or the Hidden Society… would be eliminated!

The so-called defensive formation had its limits.

If they attacked continuously, it would eventually break!

The two black-clothed men, with cold expressions, once again gathered their true energy and struck at the defensive formation in front.

…

“Boom…”

At this moment, inside the mansion, in front of the two stone doors.

Bai Konggu was still lying on the ground, while Ye Shengxue was sitting on the ground.

Hearing the noise from outside, Su Lengyun’s face was solemn.

Since she had come to Beidu, the mansion had never faced such an attack.

Who were these people?

If they were Brother Yu’s enemies… then their strength must be extremely formidable.

“Sister Lengyun, don’t go out there.”

At this moment, Little Fengling appeared in front of Su Lengyun, with a lollipop in her mouth.

Su Lengyun looked at Little Fengling, her expression grave, and said, “But…”

“They have cultivation at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm. You definitely can’t win against them if you go out,” Little Fengling said indistinctly with the candy in her mouth.

“Boom!”

At this moment, another loud sound came from outside.

Su Lengyun’s expression tightened.

“Don’t worry, Sister Lengyun, this formation was set up by the master himself… mere Divine Transformation cultivators can’t break through it,” Little Fengling smiled.

Seeing Little Fengling’s carefree demeanor, Su Lengyun believed her words.

She turned her head, saw Ye Shengxue sitting on the ground, immediately squatted down and asked, “Shengxue, are you alright?”

Ye Shengxue was still in shock, her face a bit pale, but she shook her head and looked at Bai Konggu in the distance, saying, “This old gentleman is seriously injured, we need to take care of him first… he should be a friend of Mr. Fang.”

Su Lengyun looked at Bai Konggu, who had fallen and was already unconscious, and quickly walked over.

…

Outside the gate, the two black-clothed men were still using their true energy to strike at the gate.

Many passersby had been frightened away.

But after continuous attacks, half of their true energy was depleted, and the defensive formation in front showed no signs of breaking…

“We may need reinforcements,” one of the black-clothed men stopped and said.

“Then Lord Fu Han will see us as incompetent waste! Let’s try a few more times… if it really doesn’t work, then we’ll contact Lord Fu Han,” the other black-clothed man said coldly.

The two gathered their true energy again and struck at the gate in front.

Another minute passed.

The formation remained strong, while the two black-clothed men began to breathe heavily.

But they didn’t give up and once again raised their hands to gather true energy.

At this moment, someone tapped them on the shoulders.

The two immediately turned around and saw a smiling face.

It was Fang Yu.

“What are you two… doing?” Fang Yu wore a smile, but his tone was very cold.
