I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Go quickly and see what's going on!"

Wu Nanzhi's eyelids twitched, and she felt very uneasy.

This place is guarded by many experts from the Jinghe Chamber of Commerce. Where did the screams come from?

Has someone broken in?

Who is so powerful? Could it be the Shadow Martial Hall?

"boom--"

Just as Hashimoto Aoi was about to go out to check the situation, there was a sudden loud bang, and the entire door flew towards her, knocking her out and slamming her against the wall.

Her nose was broken off; if she hadn't had a background in martial arts, she probably would have been smashed into a human meat patty.

Yu Jinghong stood at the door with a long sword in his hand, expressionless, but with a cold gaze.

"Miss Yu?!"

Wu Nanzhi tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.

She then realized that she and Hashimoto Aoi had overlooked something important: although Qin Ge had gone to Seven Star Bay alone as they had asked, Yu Jinghong had been there the whole time!

Yu Jinghong's absence from Qin Ge's presence does not mean she is no longer there; in fact, she should be nearby.

She was able to find this place most likely because she followed Hashimoto Aoi!

Wu Nanzhi forced a smile, her mind racing. "Miss Yu, what brings you here?"

"Miss Yu is radiant. I was deeply impressed when we met last time, and I still remember it vividly."

"I've been wanting to find an opportunity to meet with Ms. Yu and have a proper talk with you."

"Miss Yu, let me be frank. Our Jinghe Chamber of Commerce has always valued talent, and I admire you greatly as well. As long as you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Jinghong had already thrust his sword at her.

"Be careful!"

Hashimoto Aoi, who had just recovered from her shock, was horrified when she saw this scene and rushed to save the day without hesitation.

However, it was too late. Even in her prime, she might not have been able to save her, let alone now that she had been injured twice.

Yu Jinghong plunged her sword into Wu Nanzhi's mouth, the tip of the sword protruding from the back of her head.

She remained expressionless, her gaze still icy.

Wu Nanzhi opened her mouth wide, her wide eyes moved slightly, and then fell silent.

Hashimoto Aoi was so terrified that she didn't have time to react or even think before Yu Jinghong's sword was already in front of her.

Lu Qi should be happy now.

......

A villa.

Four people were talking in the hall, laughing continuously.

Besides Gu Qingya, Du Ruo, and the other two, there is also Lin Yuan!

"Hey, our sharpshooter's back?"

When Du Ruo saw Xie Bingning return, she immediately became sarcastic and unpleasant.

However, Xie Bingning completely ignored him and went upstairs without even glancing at him.

"Miss Xie, please wait a moment." Lin Yuan called out to Xie Bingning, "Miss Xie, you've had a hard night's operation."

"You were in charge of Qin Ge's part, and we'd like to confirm the situation with you."

"Miss Xie, please don't take it to heart. I just feel that Qin Ge is a very unusual person, and I'm not at ease without confirming it. I don't mean anything else."

"I have no way of confirming it." Xie Bingning knew, of course, that Qin Ge was no ordinary person.

She has killed countless people, including many martial arts masters. She encountered setbacks during the sniping, but ultimately succeeded.

Qin Ge was the first person to make her taste defeat, and twice in a row!

Lin Yuan and the others looked at each other, wondering what did it mean that they couldn't confirm it?

That earth-shattering explosion would have left even Superman with his underwear on the ground. Under such circumstances, would Qin Ge still have any chance of survival?

"I didn't hit him, but I saw him being hit by the explosion and engulfed in flames."

Seeing Lin Yuan's humble attitude and feeling guilty for her own poor performance in carrying out the mission, Xie Bingning's cold expression softened slightly.

"Miss Xie, you're too cautious!" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and clapped his hands in approval. "According to you, it's just that he's dead!"

"You're too modest, too cautious!"

Xie Bingning remained calm. "But I really didn't hit him, and I didn't see his body."

"Aren't you a sharpshooter? How come you missed?" Du Ruo seized the opportunity to mock him. "You even said you've never missed a shot. That's an exaggeration!"

"It's alright, it's alright!" Lin Yuan waved his hand. "Qin Ge couldn't have survived under those circumstances; he's definitely dead!"

"I heard the Lin family is still in Qixing Bay, trying to retrieve Qin Ge and Lin Yao's bodies!"

"They're unlikely to find it; let them struggle on!"

He didn't care how Qin Ge died, so why would he care whether Qin Ge died at Xie Bingning's hands?

As long as Qin Ge is dead, that's all he wants.

"The Lin family and the Lu family have fallen out, and many people on both sides have died. Even Lu Xiuyuan was injured. This feud can never be resolved!"

"Let them fight it out first, then we'll reap the benefits. Once they're both weakened, we'll seize the opportunity to strike!"

"I hope everything goes well!" Gu Qingya's expression suddenly turned solemn. "Mr. Lin, we have been acting according to your plan. Please remember your promise."

Mo Yitang has always only cared about killing for money and rarely got involved in other matters. The reason for this exception is that Lin Yuan gave them too much!

Lin Yuan made a promise: as long as Mo Yitang helps him take control of the Lin family, he is willing to give half of the Lin family's assets as a reward!

Half of the richest man in Jinling's assets! Even if all the members of Moyitang didn't take any orders for ten years, they could still live comfortably!

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who'd trade my life for money!" Lin Yuan solemnly promised again. "If I break my promise, do you think you can let me live?"

Gu Qingya nodded slightly and changed the subject, "It's best if we don't make any further moves in the coming days and instead lie low in Jinling."

"The bombing at Seven Star Bay, coupled with the conflict between the Lin and Lu families, will definitely cause a huge sensation."

"If we take any more action and are spotted by the Shadow Martial Hall, we'll all be wiped out in Jinling!"

Gu Qingya's worries were justified. After the conflict between the Lu and Lin families, Qiao Peishan contacted her father, Qiao Song.

Now that Shadow Martial Arts Hall has joined forces with the Jinling Police Department to investigate, anyone who steps forward at this time is courting death.

Not many people know about the conflict between the Lin and Lu families yet, but the huge explosion at Qixing Bay has already spread like wildfire.

Although the Jinling Police Department had sent people to seal off all entrances and exits of Qixing Bay in advance, how could the noise of the explosion possibly silence the public?

People are talking about this everywhere in Nanjing, and the news has even spread beyond Nanjing.

Fortunately, there are not many residential areas around Qixing Bay. In order to avoid leaving any evidence against her, Wu Nanzhi sent people to persuade the people on the ship to leave in advance. Therefore, although the explosion was extremely destructive, it did not cause too many casualties.

The next morning, while the police and the Lin family were still retrieving the body from Seven Star Bay, a piece of news completely threw the police and Shadow Martial Arts Hall into a panic.

Nearly a hundred bodies have been discovered in a villa not too far from Qixing Bay!

Preliminary investigation revealed that almost all of the corpses were from Dongyang, and almost every one of them died in a similar manner, with their throats slit by a single sword strike!

The events that occurred in Nanjing caused a stir among various high-level officials.

A devastating explosion at Qixing Bay resulted in countless deaths and injuries in the conflict between the Lin and Lu families, with nearly a hundred Dongyang residents killed overnight...

What's wrong with Jinling?
