He shook his head and did not think about this for the time being. He turned around and went to bed to meditate.
This was his daily cultivation, almost replacing sleep.
He threw away his distracting thoughts and fell into a daze.
After an unknown period of time, a shrill shout suddenly entered his ears, waking him up from his meditation.
“Someone tried to assassinate the Emperor!”
“Catch the assassin. Don’t let the culprit escape!”
Pitter patter ——
Chaotic footsteps came from outside the residence.
Zhou Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and his expression changed slightly. He pushed the door open and walked out.
The entire Ye family was also alarmed. They all gathered the courtyard in bewilderment.
Zhou Jing frowned and flew up, landing in the Ye Family’s main courtyard.
At this moment, the Old Master Ye, Ye Shunzhong, and the others were all gathered here. When they saw Zhou Jing descend from the sky, they hurriedly came up to greet him and anxiously spoke.

“Perfected One, something happened! It seems that a culprit has entered the palace to assassinate the Emperor. The royal guards are searching the entire city.”
“Someone tried to assassinate him? Did they succeed?”
Zhou Jing was surprised.
Where did this good man come from to snatch my job?
“We don’t know yet.” Old Master Ye shook his head with a worried expression.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Zhou Jing did not say anything. He directly took off and looked down at the city.
Under the night, trails of fire snaked through the streets and alleys. It was the palace guards holding torches and moving around to search for the assassin.
Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and flew straight towards the palace. Not long after, he arrived and landed in front of the palace.
At this moment, the palace was already protected by the Imperial Army. When the commander suddenly saw a person floating down from the sky, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. He was just short of shouting to release the arrows.
“Don’t panic. It’s me.”
Zhou Jing landed lightly on the ground and took a few steps forward, letting the flames illuminate his face.
When the commander saw Zhou Jing’s appearance, he quickly composed himself.
Over the past few days, Zhou Jing had been frequently in and out of the palace, and the palace guards had also remembered his appearance.
“That’s right. I was originally meditating and cultivating. When I heard that someone had assassinated His Majesty, I rushed over to save him. How’s His Majesty now?”
Zhou Jing did not stand on ceremony and asked directly.
The commander hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands in reply,

“Perfected One, a masked assassin sneaked into the palace just now and tried to assassinate His Majesty. Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers discovered him.
However, after this person’s matter was exposed, he actually brazenly assassinated two to three teams of the Imperial Army and three imperial guards. He almost killed his way into the chambers. In the end, a large number of the Imperial Army and imperial guards rushed over and frightened him into retreating.
This person climbed over the palace wall and escaped. Currently, his whereabouts are unknown. His Majesty’s holy body is fine, but he was a little frightened.”
Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered.
This assassin had sneaked into the palace and could even kill a group of guards. His martial arts seemed to be very powerful.
The assassin had failed to kill the Emperor… Fortunately, his investment had not gone down the drain. For now, he did not want the Emperor to die.
He thought for a moment and put on a solemn expression, “His Majesty was frightened and his body needs to be adjusted. I’m going to the palace to meet the Emperor. I hope you can inform him.”
“Perfected One, please stand down. No one is allowed to enter the palace now.”
The commander replied firmly.
Seeing that the other party did not back down, Zhou Jing estimated that after such a thing happened, there was indeed no chance of anyone entering the palace.
He did not want to fly in directly to stimulate a sensitive situation, so he took out a bottle of pills and said,
“Then please send this medicine to His Majesty. This is a Heart Suppression Pill. It can calm down your fear and help His Majesty feel at ease. At the same time, help me ask if His Majesty needs me to do anything?”
The commander thought for a moment and did not refuse. He got someone to hand the pill to a eunuch and gave it to the Emperor.
Not long after, the servant who had gone to deliver the medicine rushed back with the Emperor’s words.
“The Emperor’s Edict: I’m very relieved that you’ve rushed over to save me. You’re powerful, please try to capture the assassin. Don’t let such a heinous person escape.”
“I understand.”
On the surface, Zhou Jing nodded in agreement, but in fact, he had a plan in mind and planned to act according to the situation.
Swoosh!
He swept up a violent wind and rose into the air.
In front of the palace gate, many of the palace guards looked up in surprise as Zhou Jing disappeared into the night sky.
