destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei used his inner energy to cleanse the blood from the sword, then walked into the secret chamber and discovered another small door.

When it was opened, several corpses were found inside.

Third Aunt, Li Le, and a few servants.

Although it was winter, there was no smell of decay, so they must have been dead for less than three days.

Placing these two people alongside Li Ye's corpse would be neat enough.

"Uncle San was indeed instigated by Long Ming's people to fight for the family property. Shadow Killer should be an assassin organization established by Long Ming. Their leader, Sun Yi, is ostensibly Long Ming's capable henchman, but in reality, he is an undercover agent of the Longevity Cult."

Li Wei analyzed.

"It's unclear whether the Changsheng Sect planted this person to betray Longming at a crucial moment, or simply as an investment and a way to create a facade."

"Perhaps it's a combination of both. I guess Long Xiao doesn't know about this," Xiao Shuying said. As the future head of the Xiao family, she was naturally educated in such scheming and plotting from a young age.

However, with Long Ming crippled, it's hard to say whether the Shadow Assassins organization under his control will still obey him.

It is worth investigating who orchestrated this deadly trap targeting Li Wei.

This third uncle's family is truly pathetic; they let wolves into their house, only to have their lives ruined in the process.

Li Wei searched the Shadow Assassins and, as before, these desperate men didn't have much money on them; they only had 15,000 taels of silver in total.

Disheartened, Li Wei and Xiao Shuying walked out of the courtyard together.

Zhao Yuqing was also somewhat surprised after hearing Li Wei's description.

"Let's go to the newsstand first. We'll notify the authorities to clean up here later," Li Wei said.

"it is good."

The two quickly arrived at the newsstand, only to find that the area, which should have been bustling with people, was now a mess.

"I came here this morning, but I didn't find any useful clues."

Zhao Yuqing said.

The only dead person at the scene was the one who was killed by the bone-cutting technique; he had been sent to the capital beforehand, and she had seen him.

According to witnesses, the assailant was extremely arrogant. He was masked and, in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, smashed the newsstand with a knife and also killed the old man who was guarding it.

"It should be Sun Yi, there's not much to investigate," Li Wei concluded.

Similar incidents have happened several times before, but no one has died.

The fact that Zhao Yuqing was alerted this time probably means they want to close the net.

"No, according to the witnesses, that person was very fat, but Sun Yi is very thin. And look at the marks left by the sword energy, it should be a Spirit Bridge cultivator, not Sun Yi," Zhao Yuqing said.

"Also, do you remember the bone-cutting knife marks on the corpse we found in the eastern suburbs? Those were also left by a Lingqiao cultivator, and the angle of the blades was very similar to this one. It's too much of a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed here to investigate."

"What you've described, whether it's cultivation level or weight, can all be faked. Even that mark from last time might have been left by Sun Yi faking his Spirit Bridge cultivation."

Li Wei thought for a moment, "It's also possible that Sun Yi passed this sword technique on to other assassins."

"Indeed, but is it really over just like that?" Zhao Yuqing was somewhat unwilling.

Li Wei, however, was thinking about something. If that person really did follow him...

"Let's stay in Nanyang Prefecture for another day and see if we can find any other clues tomorrow."

He looked at the blood-red sunset and said.

Zhao Yuqing nodded in agreement.

at night.

Because Xiao Shuying remained hidden, the Guangyuan Inn, as a business guest, didn't provide him with an extra room, so the two naturally slept together.

Li Wei lay on the bed and waited silently. Sure enough, a short while later, Xiao Shuying, who was meditating and resting, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Li Wei quickly carried her to the bed and tucked her in.

"At least they show some tenderness towards women." Yaoyue's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"How did you do that? You can even hypnotize Aunt Ying?"

Li Wei had considered that the other party would try to get rid of Aunt Ying, but he didn't expect it to be such a direct method.

He thought that a Dharma cultivator like Xiao Shuying wouldn't be hypnotized by Yaoyue.

"You can do that too? Our Kongsang Sect's musical arts can do it." A rare hint of pride appeared on Yaoyue's usually indifferent face.

"Holy crap, that's amazing!" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, but then he realized that there were indeed some sleep-inducing passages in the ethereal zither music.

It's reasonable that the subsequent musical techniques would be even more outrageous.

"But I didn't hear anything," Li Wei said, puzzled.

"The greatest sound is silent." After saying this, Yaoyue stopped explaining, grabbed him, and flew into the sky.

The two flew for about twenty miles and arrived at a desolate mountain.

"You're smart not to go back to the capital, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bring him back."

Inviting the Moon, also known as Shang Xueyan, led Li Wei into a cave and said.

Inside the cave, a man was leaning against the cave wall, his body bound tightly, and blood was seeping from his tendons and lower abdomen, clearly indicating that he had been crippled.

"Sun Yi?" Li Wei asked tentatively.

In fact, he knew that as long as Yaoyue came along today, Sun Yi would not be able to leave.

Just because Sun Yi saw Li Wei's realm and incredible combat power, Yao Yue would never let him go.

The thin man, who was bound hand and foot, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.

"Li Wei, I never expected you to have a Void Realm cultivator behind you. Just who are you?"

He felt he was incredibly unlucky. Not only was he assigned to that stupid crown prince by the Longevity Sect, but he also had to deal with Li Wei, an unreasonable and strange person with a strange background.

"Of course I am the Holy Son of Kongsang. This is Elder Yaoyue of the Kongsang Sect, and also my Daoist partner."

Li Wei said with a grin.

To kill someone, you must destroy their spirit.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xueyan curled her lips slightly but did not refute it.

"What? The Kongsang Sect of Wei? This Void Realm female cultivator is your Daoist partner?!"

Sun was shocked.

How did Li Wei, a native of Liguo, become the Holy Son of Kongsang?

And he also has a Daoist partner at the Void Realm!

No, why should I?

Only now did he realize that all his previous schemes were a joke. How could he possibly succeed in killing someone under Dongxu's protection?

"Since you're going to die soon anyway, since I'm letting you die knowing why, why don't you tell me about the relationship between your Sun family and the Longevity Cult?"

Li Wei said with a hint of sarcasm.

He didn't expect the other person to say anything; he just wanted to scare him.

"So you actually guessed that I didn't really betray the Sun family?" Sun Yi said somewhat dejectedly.

Li Wei was somewhat bewildered. "Wait, brother, you've already confessed?"

"Everyone says that I rebelled against the Sun family in a fit of anger after being rejected by the clan chief when I asked for his hand in marriage, but this is just the surface."

Miss is like the bright moon in the sky; she could never belong to a monkey like me on the ground, and I have never dared to have any improper thoughts about her.

From the time I can remember, I was instilled with the idea of ​​giving everything for the family, so how could I possibly betray the family for something like this?

But I am also human, and I harbor resentment.

I dedicated ten years of my youth to my family, only to be branded as a traitor in return.

They even threatened me with my family, which was completely unnecessary. Doing so would only shake my loyalty.

They even said they would marry the young lady to me after I completed my mission, but I never had such a wishful thought.

All I want is to reunite with my mother and brother.
