Chapter 33 Game within a game
The courtyard became quiet, and after a brief period of silence, it was followed by a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

The black-robed man raised his palm like a shadow covering the sky, as if he was going to shock the old beggar to death.

The old beggar stood up straight, his internal force surged out, and he pointed his fingers, gathering the energy into a blade. It was as thin as a spider silk, but it had a sharp momentum that seemed to pierce through everything in front of him.

After a slight collision, both of them shook slightly. Then, they fought faster. Their feet did not move, but their hands almost became afterimages.

The two people who were watching the fight were already traumatized, and now being here, they felt a blockage in their chests, as if they were being suffocated to death.

retreat! Rewind!

The two men knew that if they stayed in this small courtyard any longer, they would surely die.

However, before the two men could leave the courtyard, the arrival of a person stopped them in their tracks.

"It's you!"

When they saw the appearance of the person coming, they were terrified.

This madman actually got involved in this matter.

“I love your fear.”

"It's you who make me feel that what I did was not in vain."

The frivolous words and faint smile made the two of them feel that this person was just like an evil ghost that was seducing souls.

At this time, the two people fighting in the yard had stopped and looked towards the gate of the yard with a wary look.

"I want to kill them. Do you have any objection?"

The visitor's gaze finally turned to the man in black robe. His smile matched his words, as if he was really asking a question.

The man in black robe knew this man's temperament, so he snorted coldly and said, "We are also partners. It's up to you."

When the two terrified souls heard this, the only glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered.

The man walked into the courtyard, and when his figure crossed paths with the two people at the door, the two men suddenly groaned and died immediately.

When the two men fell to the ground, the man had only taken three steps.

The man in black robe and the old beggar were shocked when they saw this.

This madman has become even stronger!

The flames came from nowhere and quickly devoured the two bodies. When the flames died down, the two bodies disappeared.

A breeze blew, raising the dust!

The three of them stood in different places, one of them was very relaxed, while the other two were very nervous.

"What do you think of my blood flame?"

The man in black robes said nothing. The old beggar smiled and said, "How about the promise of three things and giving that thing to me?"

The visitor smiled, as if thinking about it, and then said: "Compared to your three promises, I think Donghuang Taiyi is a better partner."

The old beggar's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and his suppressed anger and murderous intent were about to be vented.

"Haha, you are really disappointing." The visitor chuckled, turned his gaze to the man in black robe, and asked with a smile: "What about you, do you still want to get that thing?"

"I will do my best to fulfill your orders." The man in black robe used his internal energy to the limit, stared at the newcomer, and said word by word: "I have already given you the face."

"I reject your intimidation now."

The visitor did not seem angry when he heard this, but instead said with a smile: "No wonder those old immortals value you. I can admire you for who you are."

"but"

The man changed the subject, his smile disappeared, and a bloodthirsty coldness surged out.

“I admire your loyalty”

"But I am tired of your ignorance of the times."

Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move. In the blink of an eye, the flames wrapped around his fingers had touched the heart of the black-robed man.

Fast, too fast! The black-robed man's powerful internal force protection saved him. He felt as if his body was about to explode, so he quickly formed a seal and released his violent internal force.

At this time, the old beggar also took action, two against one, neither holding back.

The noise of the fight could no longer be suppressed, and in less than three breaths, the courtyard had been destroyed.

At the same time, there were sounds of fighting in the east, west, south and north of Daliang City.

"Sir, it seems like we are being used as pawns."

In the yard, the noise was getting louder and louder, and the face of Xu Gou under the mask turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Yeah, I was used."

Ying Zifei also felt distressed. He wanted to borrow other people's power and use Xinling Jun Wei Wuji as a stone to throw into the muddy water to see how big the ripples could be.

The ripples appeared, and I saw what I wanted to see.

But now the movements in Daliang City told him that people only linked the secret letter with the things in the hands of Huizi's descendants. Not only did some things hidden very deeply jump out, but even the Six-Fingered Black Knight and others had their own plans.

"Fortunately, we are not greedy." Ying Zifei felt fortunate. If he had not cut off the intelligence network in time, he would have been dragged into it by now.

Although it was unpleasant to be used as bait, at least I learned some lessons.

……

The fighting finally stopped, and the mess was left for the Daliang City Guards to deal with.

Inside the Talent Recruiting Hall, Wei Wuji and others, all of whom were injured, sat casually.

Until a man arrived, everyone present looked at him.

"Now that the dust has settled, I'll leave that thing to you guys to deal with."

After saying this, the man was about to leave. Wei Wuji asked, "Did you convince that lunatic just like that?"

"He only wants something that is valuable to him." The man said, and turned away. A voice came over: "He is also using this as a game plan to plot other things."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuji and his companions breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

After exchanging a few polite words with the people present, Wei Wuji and his confidant entered the room.

"Your Majesty, our people have not found any trace of Ying Zifei."

Wei Wuji was disappointed when he heard this. He wanted to weaken the strength of Black Ice Platform but failed. Was Ying Zifei too cowardly? Or too cunning?

"Let our people retreat back to Xinling, and don't let anyone misunderstand this." Wei Wuji, feeling tired, waved his hand and said, his confidant agreed and went out of the house quickly to convey the order.

Wei Wuji knelt down and rubbed his forehead. This time, the design layout with him as the center of the storm did not work completely.

When he was thinking about whether his plan needed any adjustments, his confidant walked in with someone.

The man entered the room and bowed respectfully to Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji gestured that there was no need to be polite. The two of them bowed slightly and then knelt down.

"The plan to lure Ying Zifei's Black Ice Platform and Luowang into the game failed."

"These two forces escaped too quickly this time, so much so that there was no trace of them in this chaotic battle."

Wei Wuji said, looking at the newcomer, and sighed: "Tian Guang, this layout has failed, Ying Zifei will definitely react."

"It is no longer possible to use this to drag his Black Ice Platform into the abyss of secrecy."

"Next, you must be more careful in your actions."

"Once Pang Nuan enters Zhao, many things can no longer be hidden."

Hearing this, Tian Guang also felt a headache. In order to form an alliance, he had to try his best to conceal the Qin State's surveillance. This time, his plan to lure the enemy failed, and there was a possibility that he would alert the enemy.

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, can we set up a trap once more to lure Ying Zifei into taking action again?"

Wei Wuji thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying with certainty: "He has already learned what he wanted to know from me this time."

"With his abilities, he must have realized that he was also tricked into the game. The possibility of him being able to spy on the secrets again in a short period of time is very small."
