Chapter Nine, Concealing One's Achievements and Reputation

Master, the sun has already been captured. The casualties in the army exceed 200, and 58 disciples have been injured in the gate.

Zhu Hai shouted loudly, intending to make Dian Qing leave, but was stopped by a mysterious person

Xuan Jian did not respond, but a third voice emerged from behind the tree

As the Grand General of the Wei Kingdom, I single-handedly held back the formidable Qin at the borders of the nation

Therefore, I speculate that there is someone or a force behind this, setting a trap, using Wei Yong, intending to leverage our hands to deal with Yan Ri

A pair of giant axes struck down, and the bronze-hued skin of Dianqing resembled a statue rich in texture, with his massive body gleaming under the sunlight

In the autumn breeze, the courtyard is filled with a sense of desolation, yet the green grass in the garden remains lush, exuding a unique hint of spring.

Strangely, Zhu Hai shouted in a flustered and somewhat terrified manner, as if he had known all along that someone was there

Master, he

Lying helplessly on the ground, having sustained severe injuries all over the body

Hahaha

The trees rustle softly, footsteps echo in clusters

According to the description by Dianqing, this person should be a subordinate of Yansun, a top swordsman known as Qiansha of the Web of Death

The disciple of the Armored Gate stepped forward and lifted his bronze mask

Who is so reckless?

You may go down first

Dianqing felt strange and puzzled about the book, but soon realized that the voice was somewhat familiar, and his eyes widened in surprise

Dian Qing understood everything; no wonder Zhu Hai did not pursue Yan Ri. He had disappeared for many days, it turned out it was to protect him

This appearance indeed aligns with the image of a merciless executioner in the minds of the masses

Hmph! So many of us have died, yet we have made wedding garments for others. I will go and capture Wei Yong, and uncover who is truly behind this!

As you mentioned, you discovered the anomaly because you noticed a change in Wei Yong's expression after the morning court session. Upon further inquiry, you learned from him that his daughter had been kidnapped by the Luo Net, which led to the subsequent ambush

It is ! ''

You have only one chance, tell me, why does the net want to kill Lian Po

The person's eyes seemed as if they were about to tear apart, fixated on the swordsman before them, a former colleague.

The current leader of the Armored Gate sits on the eaves, once a spirited and heroic figure, now has become somewhat dispirited

The slender sword fell to the ground, its blade enveloped in a deep crimson aura that had lost its former brilliance

Whether it was Zhu Hai or Dian Qing, both were stunned at this moment, not understanding what the so-called scheme of Lord Xinling was all about

With a muffled groan, a mouthful of fresh blood flowed from his mouth

Xuan Jian

How is Lian Yunfei's side doing

Zhu Hai nodded slightly, as Lian Yunfei was indeed seconded from Lian Po's side, it would not be appropriate to use him to the fullest extent

As he was halfway through, a person blocked his way

The first thing that catches the eye is a fierce face, especially those eyes, which resemble those of a beast; after staring for a while, an inexplicable sense of gloom rises within.

The truly cunning are not those who obscure the sun, but rather those who set the traps behind the scenes

However, first, Wei Yong is a person who has always kept his emotions in check, so how could he be easily perceived by you? Second, the people of the net act ruthlessly and decisively; if they want to kill Wei Yong, they would never take such a roundabout way as to kidnap his daughter. Third, after you ambushed him, what Wei Yong is most concerned about is not the whereabouts of his daughter, but rather he wants you to increase the number of people protecting him, which indicates that there is another reason behind this.

Lian Po

Zhu Hai, you are a very good disciple

Zhu Hai was furious, wishing he could slice Wei Yong into a thousand pieces to avenge his deceased disciples, but he was stopped by Wei Wuji.

The world's most exceptional assassin now seemed like a plaything in the hands of the opponent, and even in the numb heart that had been trained to be indifferent, a sense of humiliation could not help but arise

Look at you now, you've even lost your own sword, how truly embarrassing!

He is fake

In the midst of a hundred battles, even the formidable Qin did not intimidate Zhu Hai. However, what truly chilled him to the bone were the hidden arrows coming from behind.

A soldier clad in the armor of the Wei Wu army quietly left the ranks after the main force had retreated, not returning to the Wei Wu camp, but instead taking a small path back to Daliang.

Xuan Jian's black sword was pinned to the trunk, while the white sword was held against his neck. Any slight movement, and Yan Ri had no doubt that Xuan Jian would immediately kill him

The sun obscured my view, making it impossible to discern the identity of the third person in the forest. The voice of the other party was clearly altered, providing no useful information whatsoever

The other party remained remarkably calm. Although his broad cloak concealed his face, his slender figure was easily noticeable, and the white hair at his temples revealed his frailty, evoking a sense of weakness in him

So many brothers have died, I would like to see what this sun-blocking looks like

Yǎn Rì sustained severe injuries, and the continuous days of fleeing had exhausted his strength. The strike from Xuán Jiǎn was merely the final blow, rendering him completely devoid of combat capability

Push it back!

Dianqing, step down

In the courtyard, Wei Wuji and Zhu Hai sat back down on the eaves.

Setting up a scheme behind the scenes

The giant axe came to a halt at the last moment, but that person was also exposed

Xuan Jian's words were very plain, yet they made Yan Ri feel an immense anger

Damn, this Sun Concealer is surprisingly cunning

Your Majesty

... ...

As the top assassin of the Luo Network, Yan Ri has survived numerous life-and-death situations, turning the tables and counterattacking in moments of desperation

Wei Wuji did not witness with his own eyes the one captured at the Armored Gate, yet he had already deduced the truth of his identity

The casualties over there are not significant, with three individuals seriously injured and twenty-six individuals sustaining minor injuries

Dianqing was just about to leave when he noticed an unusual sound in the courtyard, suspecting it to be an assassin from the net. Before he could take two steps, he immediately turned around, and the giant axe in his hand was about to strike down.

Having lost the cover of the sun and suffered such a significant loss, how will you explain this to Lü Buwei? Moreover, your injury can only be treated in a large city like Daliang, within a radius of several hundred miles.

For an assassin, the weapon in his hand is not the greatest trump card; rather, it is his identity. To leave Zhuan Zhu, there is no better way than this. As a top assassin of the Luo Network, how could he be unaware of the surrounding terrain? Instead of heading towards the complex and easily concealable western part of the city, he chooses to escape to the flat southern part. Unless he had already devised an escape plan.

Wei Yong is a court official who has been strongly promoted by the Emperor; without evidence, do not act against him lightly

Your Majesty, why do you speak thus

Suddenly, a wave of excruciating pain struck. The agony of the body overshadowed the anger within the heart

Just as Wei Wuji's words fell, a burst of laughter came from outside the courtyard

I am grateful for Your Majesty's praise

Yet he had never thought that he would fall into the hands of the bandit Xuan Jian

Yet, the mysterious figure removed the cloak, and a faint smile appeared on the face, which was as beautiful as jade

I am the old man Wei Wuji

Wei Wuji's lean face broke into a smile, his posture and demeanor exuding exceptional elegance and charm

The only difference is that this time Wei Wuji is seated in the main position

Dianqing, do not act rashly

So who will the person we capture be

It has been many years since we last met, yet Your Excellency's demeanor remains as impressive as ever

Dianqing had never seen his master in such a manner; even towards King Wei, he had never shown such respect and caution

Xuan Jian's black sword pierced into Yan Ri's shoulder blade, causing both to retreat, with Yan Ri pinned against the tree trunk

The Wei Wu troops and the armored gate pursued for three days and three nights, during which they engaged in twelve battles with Yan Ri. Finally, on the third day, they captured him in the forest outside Daliang City.

How did you know I would return to Daliang

Is this the eclipse?
