Chapter 68: Defying my trap is his death wish
“Gui Guzi.”
Sister Zi seemed to have found the answer in her heart.
Asking Wei Zhuang was more about listening to his insights.
After all, Wei Zhuang was a world-renowned swordsman and the foremost disciple of the contemporary sword master, Gui Guzi.
With Wei Zhuang’s experience, he could only think of his mysterious master, Gui Guzi, who could achieve such a feat.
Zhang Liang cleared his throat and said indirectly, “Uh, Brother Wei Zhuang, so, um, how is your master now…?”
Wei Zhuang glanced at him askance and said indifferently, “My master has not left Guigu for decades.”
Zhang Liang awkwardly smiled, “Haha, just asking casually, don’t think too much about it. Is your master still in good health?”
Wei Zhuang withdrew his gaze, not interested in answering Zhang Liang’s boring question.
In a deep voice, he said, “It is not possible for it to be my master’s doing.”
He did not explain anything, just said a very confident statement.
Very much in the style of modern women.
Those who understand me will naturally understand, and those who don’t, why bother explaining.
Zhang Liang was frustrated but helpless.
“Other than Gui Guzi, are there any other swordsmen in the world capable of this?”
Sister Zi listed, “There are only a few experts who can kill Nameless. Besides Gui Guzi, there are also Taiyi from the Yin Yang School, Xun Fuzi from the Confucian School, and Beimingzi from the Taoist School.”
“Taiyi uses Yin Yang secret techniques, Xun Fuzi does not use a sword. Beimingzi uses a sword, but like Gui Guzi, he has not stepped out of the mountain gate for many years.”
“Moreover, he is not exclusively focused on swordsmanship. Nameless practices both Confucianism and Taoism, and is similar to Beimingzi. Beimingzi has also received guidance from him.”
After the analysis, Beimingzi also had no reason to kill Nameless.
The Taoist way emphasizes cultivating the heart, so he has not killed anyone for a long time.
Zhang Liang massaged his temples with a headache, “So it’s strange, besides these few people, are there no other unknown experts?”
Han Fei interjected, “In such a vast world, naturally there are.”
The gazes of Sister Zi and Wei Zhuang moved at the same time.
The two locked eyes.
They all thought of one person.
“It’s impossible, it can’t be him,” Sister Zi shook her head as if unwilling to mention that person.
That guy is probably still enjoying himself somewhere. How could he come back to kill Nameless?
Wei Zhuang thought for a moment, it seems that person doesn’t even need a sword.
“Who?” Zhang Liang saw the two of them playing dumb riddles again and couldn’t help but ask.
“No one, just know that it’s not him,” replied the Sister Zi.
Zhang Liang was puzzled by the Sister Zi’s reaction.
He rubbed his nose and muttered, “How do you know, maybe it’s him.”
The Sister Zi affirmed, “Because he has no motive at all.”
Previously, she had tried so hard to recruit Li Mo, even offering him favorable conditions, but he refused to get involved. How could he possibly bring such big trouble upon himself for no reason?
***
The news of Nameless’s death not only spread to the Empire of Wei but also to other neighboring countries.
The first to receive the news was none other than Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Empire of Qin, who is above tens of thousands of people.
The task was issued by him, and Jing Ni was also sent out by him.
So he was more concerned about this matter than anyone else!
In a mansion that was as luxurious as a royal palace.
A man in his fifties was squinting his eyes and listening to the report from his subordinates.
Occasionally, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
“So you mean, Nameless is dead, and Eight Linglong are also dead?” The person reporting the information to him wore a ghost mask and spoke with a buzzing voice.
At this, he replied, “Yes, judging from the timing, Nameless and Eight Linglong both died on the same night.”
A cold light flashed in Lu Buwei’s eyes, and he said sharply, “Was it Jing Ni who killed them?”
His subordinate hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Although Jing Ni is a top-notch assassin, the combined strength of the eight people is not to be underestimated.”
“Although Jing Ni’s skills are remarkable, she couldn’t have killed them with one move!”
“Especially Qiansha. Before he died, his face was full of fear, as if he was not killed but frightened to death.”
Qiansha’s strength was the strongest among the eight Eight Linglong, but he couldn’t even fight back in the opponent’s hands, indicating that the opponent’s strength far surpassed his.
Even if Jing Ni’s assassination skills were advanced, it was impossible for him to kill all eight of them at once without leaving anyone alive!
Therefore, the person who acted was not likely to be Jing Ni but a terrifying existence whose strength far surpassed Jing Ni.
Lu Buwei’s face showed surprise, “Frightened to death?”
“Frightened to the point of losing the courage to resist, slaughtered unilaterally.”
Lu Buwei took a deep breath and said incredulously, “Could this person be so terrifying?”
After speaking, he snorted, “Regardless of this person’s strength, opposing me is a path to death for him!”
His subordinate remained silent for a moment and said, “It is very likely that Nameless also died at the hands of this person.”
A flicker appeared in Lu Buwei’s eyes, “Let me think about it again.”
