Chapter 28: Night Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The guards had been changed! And they had somehow locked onto Yue Wu’s location! 

Zhou Ji was almost certain of this information. 

The only thing he was glad about was that no one had noticed him coming in from this room just now. He guessed that the two watchmen had not reacted yet. 

“You’ve been exposed. Be careful.” 

Zhou Ji took out the jade token and sent a message to Yue Wu. Then, he turned his gaze to his daughter in his arms. 

Xiao Rui seemed to be very sensitive to Zhou Ji’s reaction. When Zhou Ji became alert, she had already obediently laid in his arms and did not speak. It was not until she had just entered the room that Xiao Rui turned her head to look in Zhou Ji’s direction. 

“Daddy, was there a bad person just now?” 

“Yes, but it doesn’t matter anymore.” 

Zhou Ji gently rubbed his daughter’s hair and placed her on the bed. He was not in a hurry now. The previous agreement with Yue Wu was just to cover for him. Once he was discovered, he would leave. The situation now was obviously already discovered. Zhou Ji even reminded him. It could be said that he had done his best. 

Thinking of this, Zhou Ji took his daughter’s arm and gently patted her back. It was almost nine o’clock, and it was time for his daughter to sleep. 

“Are they here to catch Uncle Wu?” Xiao Rui turned over on the bed and stared at the window in a daze. 

The other side of the room seemed to be made of glass. Through the glass, one could see the sea under the starlight at night. The sound of waves could be heard through the glass. 

Zhou Ji touched the glass with his consciousness, and the sound of the outside world gradually quieted down. 

“Uncle Wu will take care of it himself. Xiao Rui, go to sleep first, okay?” 

“But I think that Uncle Wu is a good person…” 

Xiao Rui’s voice was clear and crisp, sounding very naive. Yue Wu was also a person who knew how to get along with children. After only two days of getting along, his relationship with Xiao Rui had become much closer. 

“Good, Uncle Wu is a good person.” 

Zhou Ji responded, but he was still unmoved. The little girl was still too naive. This kind of thing was not something that the two of them, father and daughter, could get involved in. 

After Yue Wu replied with a “Thank you”, he did not contact Zhou Ji again. Zhou Ji quietly put away the jade token and covered his daughter who had already fallen asleep with the quilt. Then, he sat on the sofa at the side and closed his eyes to rest. 

Zhou Ji didn’t dare to make any more judgments. He had thought that the floating shuttle was powerful, but in the next second, he was slapped in the face. If Zhou Ji said that he wouldn’t be found by those people, then someone would be lurking at his door in the next moment. 

Good luck… 

It was late at night, and only Xiao Rui’s breathing could be heard in the room. 

Buzz. 

The door of the room shook slightly, and a crack slowly opened. 

In the darkness, Zhou Ji suddenly opened his eyes and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, what was supposed to come had come. 

The door slowly opened, and a figure crept in. The moment he showed his face, a wind blade had already cut through his neck. 

Immediately after, four wind blades rushed out of the door, almost head to tail. The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh could be heard from outside. The scouting spell could clearly see that there were three people outside the door. 

Almost at the same time, Zhou Ji jumped up and rushed to the door. The first thing he saw was a man in black clothing whose chest and abdomen had been penetrated, and another man in black clothing who had just stood up from the ground. It was obvious that he had dodged in a sorry state. 

Without hesitation, Zhou Ji raised his hand, and the wind blades instantly condensed and flew out. 

The wind blades, which had always been successful in dealing with spirit cultivators, were defeated for the first time. A crack appeared on a jade pendant on the man’s waist, and a transparent cover appeared in front of the man. The wind blades hit the cover, but it only caused the cover to shake a little. 

What was this thing? A protective jade talisman? 

Although Zhou Ji, who was born in a small city, had never seen this thing before, he still understood the operating law of this thing at the first moment. He took two steps forward and reached out his hand to grab the collar of the man in black. 

Sure enough, his hand could pass through this protective shield. 

Immediately, Zhou Ji made a feint and dodged the incoming metal pellet. Wind elements wrapped around his left arm and he punched the abdomen of the man in black. 

Zhou Ji was a little unfamiliar with the Wind Fist Force that he used without going through actual combat. His spirit essence was running skillfully, and under the wind elements, Zhou Ji’s punch was faster and faster, making it difficult for him to control it for a moment. 

Fortunately, Zhou Ji threw out three punches, and the black-clothed man in front of him was already lying on the ground without any movement. 

At this time, there was no one in the corridor. The guards were patrolling back and forth, and there were no fixed sentries. It was also unknown where they had gone. 

The spirit energy fluctuation caused by the fight just now quickly attracted people’s attention. The lights in the two rooms next door were lit up, and a few of the doors even quietly opened a crack. 

Not long after, the guards on the floating shuttle rushed over. It was the same Foundation Establishment guard from last time. Later, Zhou Ji talked to him and learned that his surname was Zhang. He was the captain of the floating shuttle. When Captain Zhang saw the three bodies, his face had already darkened. 

“Mr. Zhou, may I know who…” 

“Captain Zhang, I don’t know what’s going on either. At night, these three people suddenly opened the door of my room and directly rushed in to kill me. Then, out of self-defense, I killed them.” 

Zhou Ji’s tone was calm, but the words he said made the people around him shudder. 

Zhou Ji himself did not realize this calm emotion. It seemed that since the first time he killed someone, he had opened a new door. His ability to accept this kind of situation was stronger than an ordinary person’s. 

“Rushing in to kill you?” Captain Zhang looked at the wide open door and the three black-clothed corpses at the door. The corners of his mouth could not help but Twitch. 

‘Three people rushed in to kill you at night and were killed by you? Then you are really amazing.’ 

Of course, these words could not be said in person. Captain Zhang just waved his hand and let his subordinates examine the corpses while he stood on the side with Zhou Ji. 

“Mr. Zhou is shocked. This is the negligence of our guards.” 

Captain Zhang took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to Zhou Ji. 

“No, thank you.” 

Zhou Ji leaned on the railing. He did not need to look at the identity of those people. He could guess it with his eyes closed. 

“There are a few unknown guys on the floating shuttle this time. We don’t know what their purpose is.” Captain Zhang’s gaze wandered over the dark sea. 

Zhou Ji chose not to talk to him. Of course, he knew what their purpose was. He even felt that there were spies among the guards. 

“Mr. Zhou, do you have any information that you can provide us? I remember that you didn’t stay in this room two days ago. Why did you suddenly think of this room tonight?” Captain Zhang’s tone was very polite, however, the content of his words carried an inquiring meaning. 

He knew that the man in front of him who brought his daughter out was not as harmless as he looked. If he really believed the feedback from the probing technique that this man was only at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage.., then he would probably be like the three guys lying on the ground, not knowing how they died. 

However, he was also anxious now. Previously, he received news that there were two suspicious people loitering on the top floor. Before he could find any clues, there was another attack tonight. And since the attack was on this person, this person must know something..
