The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

"Humph, so useless." The master said in a cold tone.

The servant spoke cautiously, "Master, it seems that Baili Changge is truly formidable. We underestimated him."

The master stood up, staring intently at the black-robed man's corpse. After a moment's silence, he said, "This man failed in his duties and deserves death."

"But his death also caused changes in our plans."

"Master, what should we do now?" asked the servant.

The master narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's get rid of the body first. We can't let anyone find out that we have anything to do with this."

"After all, this is Beili, not our country."

"Then, redeploy the plan and make sure to obtain the Zhuxian Sword as soon as possible."

The servant nodded and replied, "Yes, Master."

"But how should we properly deal with this corpse?"

The owner's eyes were stern. "Find a secluded place and burn it down. Make sure it's burned completely, leaving no traces behind."

The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if we are discovered..."

The master snorted coldly: "They wouldn't dare to meddle in other people's business."

"Even if they find out, what can we do?"

"They couldn't find any evidence pointing to us."

The servant quickly responded, "Master, you are wise."

Then, the servants quickly carried the black-robed man's body and prepared to leave.

The owner suddenly stopped and looked thoughtfully at the bloodstains and traces of fighting on the ground.

"Clean this place too, don't leave any clues." the owner ordered.

The servant immediately took out some powder from his arms and sprinkled it on the bloodstains and traces of fighting.

The powder reacted quickly, gradually eliminating the bloodstains and traces.

"Master, everything has been taken care of."

The master nodded slightly: "Let's go back and make new plans."

"I must get that sword!"

"Pass the order down. Increase surveillance on him. If there's an opportunity, eliminate him."

"Yes, master." The servant replied, then quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley with his master.

......

...

In the school.

Some students were sweating in the martial arts training ground, while others were studying hard in the study.

Baili Changge had no time to care about these things. He walked straight towards Li Changsheng's residence.

Li Changsheng lived in a quiet courtyard in the school. Apart from occasionally giving students some advice on martial arts, he would drink and meditate alone in the courtyard, delving into the art of martial arts.

Baili Changge came to the gate of the courtyard and knocked gently.

After a moment, Li Changsheng's calm and uninhibited voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Baili Changge pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

I saw Li Changsheng sitting on a stone bench in the yard, holding a pot of wine in his hand, looking leisurely.

"Senior Brother." Baili Changge bowed slightly.

Li Changsheng raised his head and saw Baili Changge. A smile appeared on his face. "Changge, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Baili Changge walked up to Li Changsheng and said solemnly, "Brother, I encountered a mysterious man in black robes today."

"This man's swordsmanship is strange, he is definitely not from Beili. He said he came here for the Zhuxian Sword."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng frowned slightly, put down the wine jug, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"The man in the black robe? Please tell me in detail."

Baili Changge told Li Changsheng everything about the battle with the man in black robe.

After hearing this, Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "From what you've said, this man in black robes is indeed suspicious."

"Besides Beili, there are many forces eyeing Beili covetously."

"This man in black robes was most likely sent by one of them."

Baili Changge asked, "Brother, do you know which faction this black-robed man might be from?"

Li Changsheng shook his head: "It's hard to judge at the moment."

"However, we can start from his swordsmanship and aura to look for clues."

"The martial arts styles outside of Beili are different. Perhaps we can find some clues from them."

Baili Changge nodded: "Senior Brother, what you said makes sense."

"So where do we begin our investigation?"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "You can go to the academy's library to look for some information about forces outside Beili."

"Perhaps we can find clues related to the man in black robes."

Baili Changge said, "Okay, I'll go to the library right away."

Li Changsheng warned again: "Don't make this matter public, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Baili Changge responded, "I understand, don't worry, Senior Brother."

After saying that, Baili Changge turned around and left the courtyard, heading towards the library.

The library is located deep in the school and is an ancient and magnificent building.

Countless precious martial arts books and historical documents are collected here.

Baili Changge walked into the library, and the scent of old books and ink hit him in the face.

He came to the administrator and explained his purpose.

The administrator nodded and pointed to a bookshelf nearby: "You can go over there to look for books about forces other than Beili."

Baili Changge thanked the administrator, walked to the bookshelf, and began to search carefully.

Chapter 229 Investigation clues, Liyang Royal Secret Guard

Baili Changge stood in front of the bookshelf in the library, his eyes scanning the ancient books intently.

"Da Song?"

The first thing Baili Changge picked up was an ancient book that recorded the five unique martial arts of the Song Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that there were even records from the Song Dynasty?"

Baili Changge read the description of the Five Wonders of the Song Dynasty carefully with curiosity.

He wanted to see what the difference was between the Song Dynasty in this world and the Song Dynasty in his memory.

"The Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty: East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar, and Central Divine Power. Each of them is a legendary figure with outstanding martial arts skills."

"Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, has elegant and agile martial arts, and his Qimen Dunjia technique is unparalleled in the world."

"His moves are ever-changing, like catkins in the wind, making them hard to predict."

"Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, is skilled in the use of poison. His Toad Skill is extremely powerful, and his moves are brutal, domineering, and full of aggression."

"Master Yideng of the Southern Emperor, the One Yang Finger is upright and unyielding, and its power is extraordinary."

"Hong Qigong, the Beggar of the North, with his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, is feared throughout the world, his strength and ferocity are unmatched."

"Wang Chongyang, the middle-level supernatural power, has mastered the Xiantian skill to perfection and has profound internal strength."

Baili Changge smiled and shook his head as he read, "It seems that the Song Dynasty in this world hasn't changed much."

As for the man in black robe?

　307 His swordsmanship was strange and completely different from the moves of the Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty.

Baili Changge had no doubt that he was from the Song Dynasty.

The reason why I watched the Song Dynasty was simply because I was curious about it.

Now that he had determined what the Song Dynasty was like, Su Han couldn't help but shook his head and put down the ancient book.

Then he picked up a book about the Ming Dynasty.

"The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi is a man of great martial arts prowess and meticulous thinking."

"His power-absorbing technique is extremely powerful, allowing him to absorb the inner strength of others for his own use. His moves are steady and majestic, yet flexible and versatile."

"Palace Master Yao Yue Lian Xing..."

Each force looked over.

Every time, Baili Changge put down the book with some disappointment.

"Isn't this a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Just when Baili Changge was lost in thought, a book about Lin Kingdom caught his attention.

Baili Changge carefully picked up the book and opened the pages.

The book records a country very close to the north, Liyang.

"Li Yang?"

"So close, could it be them?"

Baili Changge stared at the book about Li Yang in his hand, and a hint of anticipation surged in his heart.
