Cosmic Professional Gladiator
chapter-369

Night fell. It was pitch-black.

Xu Jingming stealthily appeared in a remote corner of King Qi’s residence. At that moment, he had already donned a bronze mask and was silently observing his surroundings. Only lit areas could be seen clearly.

I have to find out where Miss Fei is imprisoned. Xu Jingming immediately used his psychic force to scan his surroundings.

His psychic force was gentle and invisible as it silently spread out to a distance of 100 meters.

There were also techniques when using psychic force. It could be used violently to attack the enemy’s mind and consciousness, but it could also be used gently, making it difficult for the enemy to notice. It could even affect and control the mind.

The many techniques recorded in the Primordial Star Conjecture were extremely brilliant; they could be considered the top techniques for cosmic humans. Unless the other party’s mental strength was strong enough, it was difficult to detect it.

It’s snowing? Xu Jingming also noticed snowflakes falling in the night.

He sensed his surroundings and silently walked into King Qi’s residence.

Xu Jingming had already read the dossier when he entered the Blood Rain Guard’s South Wing’s Procuratorate. Back then, he had seen the layout of King Yan’s residence, King Qi’s residence, King Liang’s residence, and several residences of the other kings.

It’s snowing. A guard looked up at the sky. I still have another six hours of duty! If the snow gets heavier, I’ll be in for a tough time.

There were patrolling guards, stationed guards, and even some hidden sentries in King Qi’s residence.

The stationed guards had to stand there, regardless of whether it was raining or snowing!

If my strength could reach second-rate, I would be able to lie inside and live a good life. I wouldn’t have to suffer like this, the guard thought. Suddenly, a shadow flashed from behind.

The guard felt a strike on the back of his head, and his vision immediately turned black as he collapsed to the ground.

Xu Jingming carried the guard into a building and closed the door.

Huh? The guard woke up in a daze and found himself lying on the ground. A masked cyan-shirted man was staring at him.

“W-what’s wrong with me?” The guard discovered in horror that he couldn’t move other than his head.

“You just can’t move for the time being,” Xu Jingming said. “Answer my questions obediently. Otherwise… you won’t be able to move for the rest of your life.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” the guard immediately said. “I’ll say everything. Don’t kill me.”

As for shouting for help? He would probably be killed just as he was about to shout!

“Where’s Miss Fei, who was abducted here today?” Xu Jingming asked.

“In the main hall,” the guard hurriedly answered. “His Highness is holding a banquet in the main hall tonight to entertain Miss Fei.”

“A banquet for Miss Fei?” Xu Jingming was surprised.

“Many people in the residence know about the banquet for Miss Fei,” the guard immediately said.

“Alright, very good.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly and pressed the back of the guard’s head. His strength seeped in, and the guard immediately fainted again!

Experts who had reached cellular control knew very well how to temporarily paralyze and knock people out.

Get a few hours of sleep. Xu Jingming looked at the guard and immediately walked out before closing the door. He then found a guard stationed in a remote area and interrogated him, only to receive the same answer.

Many people in King Qi’s residence knew… that the king was holding a banquet for Miss Fei.

He’s really hosting a banquet for Miss Fei. What’s King Qi up to? Xu Jingming was a little puzzled as he silently rushed to the main hall. By using his psychic force to envelop an area of 100 meters, he could quietly avoid the guards that were in the open and in the dark. This was also the reason why he came alone.

With the residence on guard, the more people there were, the easier it was to be exposed.

The main hall. Xu Jingming quickly saw the brightly lit main hall.

******

In the main hall.

Thick candles were lit extravagantly, and the candlelight completely illuminated the area as if it were daytime.

“Miss Fei, how’s the food in my King Qi’s residence? Is it to your liking?” King Qi sat at the head of the table and smiled at Fei Xinlan.

The more polite King Qi was, the more nervous Fei Xinlan became.

She had experienced a lot recently. Her elder brother, Fei Qing, had died, and her father had gone missing. Some enemy factions were eager to act. Thankfully, Dean Ming had acted as a deterrence, allowing her to live precariously in the Martial Academy. However, she also felt that… many of her fellow disciples in Martial Academy were keeping their distance from her.

In the past, she had someone to rely on no matter what. Even on the way from Lanyue City to the capital, she had her father and many guards. But now, she had nobody to rely on!

“Your Highness, you abducted me just to hold a banquet for me?”

“Hahaha…” King Qi smiled and said, “Miss Fei, I’ve carefully prepared many gifts for you. From tonight onward, I’ll let you taste them one by one.”

“What do you want?” Fei Xinlan was a little uneasy. “Kill me if you want.”

“Kill you? If I really wanted to kill you, I could’ve just sent a few people to silently eliminate you at the Martial Academy today.” King Qi looked at Fei Xinlan with an intoxicated gaze. “You’re Fei Qing’s sister. How can I bear to kill you casually?”

“Wouldn’t killing you be letting you off too easily?” King Qi smiled coldly. “Fei Qing died a quick death; it was too easy on him. If I want revenge, I can only exact it on you.”

“Revenge?” Fei Xinlan was stunned.
