destiny eternal calamity

Just to mention at the beginning, at the end of the previous chapter, it was a mistake to write that Li Wei knew Sun Yi was the Crown Prince's man. Li Wei should not have known about this, and it has already been corrected.

-----------------

Because Li Wei deliberately avoided engaging in combat with the pedestrians and Shadow Assassins, the battle did not result in any casualties.

However, the duel between Xiao Shuying and Sun Yi in the sky was still seen by many people, causing quite a bit of chaos.

Li Wei then returned to the Nanyang government office and announced the matter, instructing them to send someone to collect the corpses.

Seeing the commotion in the sky, Zhao Yuqing rushed back to the yamen from the newsstand and ran into Li Wei, who was about to leave the yamen.

"Commander Zhao, have you found anything?" Li Wei asked bluntly.

"No, and when I saw that Dharma Aspect cultivator, I felt like I'd been set up again."

Upon closer examination, the knife wounds on the victim's body in the newsstand attack seemed too deliberate.

"No, this scheme was set up for me. Shadow Assassins have no reason to target Commander Zhao. Their attack on the newsstands under Wenhai Pavilion was to lure me out of the city."

As for luring Commander Zhao, it was probably just part of their plan. I'm the one who dragged you into this."

Li Wei said embarrassedly.

"However, these people seem to be far weaker than those from the Eternal Life Sect's stronghold last time. It looks like we've been underestimated."

Zhao Yuqing looked at Li Wei meaningfully and said.

She is now in the late stage of the Spirit Bridge realm and can fight against the Divine Treasury, while she couldn't defeat Li Wei even half a month ago.

I really don't know how this kid cultivated.

"It's also possible that this is all the forces they have available for the time being."

Li Wei said.

Cultivators of destiny are not as common as cabbages. There are only six Dharma Protectors in the Eternal Life Sect, and other strongholds also need to be guarded.

Moreover, this Shadow Assassin organization may not necessarily be a direct subordinate force of the Longevity Cult; the specifics are still unclear.

Zhao Yuqing nodded. "I'll take you to the scene."

"it is good."

The two then headed together to the newsstand south of the prefectural city.

On the way, Li Wei also passed by his third uncle's house.

Li Wei had only been here once when he was a child, and in his memory it was an old and dilapidated place. This time, however, it turned out to be a large courtyard with three sections, and there were even two stone lions in front of the gate.

Li Wei asked several passersby and learned that although this third uncle did not go to the capital much, he had been using the name of Li Anguo's relative to befriend landlords and gentry in the local area, implying that he had a powerful backer and deceiving people into helping him run businesses.

Li Wei was certainly angry, but since the person was dead, he didn't know how to take revenge.

You can't really wipe out your own relatives, can you?

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei asked Zhao Yuqing to wait for him, and then used his light-footed skill to climb over the wall of his third uncle's house.

Despite it being broad daylight, the courtyard was unusually quiet.

Li Wei made his way into the innermost courtyard, but didn't see a single person.

Just as they were about to carefully examine each room, they heard voices coming from the main room.

"Thirteen, who exactly is this boss?"

"I don't know. I just feel that our organization has a powerful background and the people we've offended are all from extraordinary backgrounds, but we haven't had any major problems."

"They all say that the boss is Sun Yi, a traitor to the Sun family, but to me, the boss doesn't seem like a stray dog ​​at all."

"But they have indeed kept a much lower profile this month. Perhaps Lao Ba and the others are right; are we Shadow Assassins really from the Crown Prince's residence?"

"Now that the Crown Prince has lost power, do we only have a few good days left?"

……

Li Wei and Aunt Ying, who had revealed herself, exchanged a glance. Xiao Shuying nodded, then disappeared and walked towards the main house.

A moment later, the door suddenly swung open, and the two men inside rushed out with knives in hand.

Then he was taken down by Xiao Shuying, who was hiding in the shadows.

Li Wei destroyed the dantian of both men with his sword, then used his true energy to awaken one of them, signaling Xiao Shuying to use "Heavenly Demon Chaos".

"Are you from the Shadow Assassins? What are you doing in the Li family compound in Nanyang? Where did the Li family go?"

The assassin's eyes were glazed over, as if he wanted to answer, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

"It's been placed under a restriction. Strange, this doesn't seem like the work of someone at the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Xiao Shuying stopped the Heavenly Demon Chaos. The restriction on the person in front of her seemed to be a kind of supernatural power, which was why it had such an effect.

But Sun Yi himself is only a Dharma Aspect cultivator, where would he get supernatural powers?

Could it be that Shadow Assassins is truly an affiliated organization of the Longevity Cult?

Li Wei then awakened another person, and the same method was used, with the same result.

After killing the two men, Li Wei began a thorough search of his third uncle's house.

The west wing was my cousin Li Le's room, and I found some signs of struggle there.

The same applies to the main house.

There were no special traces in Li Ye's room in the east wing, and no corpses in the mansion.

It appears the place is deserted, with only two henchmen remaining.

But Li Wei remembered some secrets in his own residence, so he asked Xiao Shuying to release her divine sense and search the underground area.

Sure enough, a cavity was discovered.

He channeled his inner energy and the power of returning to the origin of all things, and stomped down with his foot.

It collapsed directly.

The two entered the underground passage.

Several figures suddenly rushed out.

They were all low-level thugs below the Spirit Bridge, and Li Wei and Xiao Shuying easily killed them.

It wasn't until he reached the very back that Li Wei encountered a cultivator from the Divine Treasury.

He killed him with a single blow.

Then Li Wei saw Li Ye, who was being tied up.

Li Ye's expression was complicated when he saw Li Wei.

"Can you explain what's going on?" Li Wei asked, stroking the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

"These people should be the Crown Prince's men, although they themselves don't seem sure. The reason my father and I went to the capital to cause you trouble before was because someone claimed to be a staff member of the Crown Prince's residence and promised to help us seize the family property."

Although Li Ye was impulsive and somewhat reckless, he wasn't stupid. Knowing that he couldn't compete with Li Wei at all, he quickly blurted out everything he knew.

"The Crown Prince's man? But Sun Yi clearly has some connection with the Longevity Cult..."

No, this is not contradictory. Perhaps Sun Yi is indeed a member of the Longevity Cult, but is only temporarily working for the Crown Prince, or perhaps he is a spy!

"Where are Auntie and Li Le?" Li Wei asked.

"They're all dead... those beasts. They killed my mother, and Lele resisted to the death and bit off her tongue to commit suicide."

"Then why did we spare your life?" Li Wei asked, frowning.

Although he disliked his third aunt and Li Le, his feud with his third uncle had come to an end with his uncle's death. No matter what, these two were his relatives, and their deaths still left him feeling uneasy.

Seeing Li Ye hesitate, Li Wei signaled to Xiao Shuying to activate the Heavenly Demon Chaos.

"They said if I swore an oath of allegiance, they would accept me into the Shadow Assassins and guarantee my survival. I killed my mother, and I forced Lele to commit rape; she resisted to the death and bit her tongue to commit suicide. I'm such a beast!"

Li Wei had considered the possibility that the other party had succumbed to Shadow Killer, but he certainly hadn't expected them to be this beastly.

He suddenly realized that anything in this world that got involved with these dark organizations would become incredibly shameless. Perhaps this was what Zhao Yuqing meant by "burning demonic heart"?

Li Wei could no longer tolerate this humanoid creature living in the world, so he swung his sword and cleaved it in two.
