Chapter 53: Self-determination and the Old Man in White

"You are not stupid." Yanri told Wei Yong directly: "Your fate is in your own hands. Now that the two disciples Guigu Zongheng know the reason, there will be no deal or tacit understanding between you and me, and between you and the King of Wei."

"A person who could be put to death at any time is of little value to us or the King of Wei."

"Haha, I think, compared to Luowang, the King of Wei doesn't want the reason for the so-called death list to be exposed."

The gaze that covered the sun seemed to see through Wei Yong's body and soul.

"So, first let Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, disciples of Guigu Zongheng, believe what you say."

"Before they leave Weijiazhuang, we, Luowang, will never contact Hei Bai Xuan Jian to ask him to stop."

Having said that, Yanri stood up, picked up the Yanri Sword that was on the table, and walked away.

"Remind you one more thing"

"Before you persuade Guigu Zongheng's disciples to leave, don't think of using Luowang's connections as bargaining chips in your hands."

"Otherwise, you will die!"

Before he finished speaking, Yanri had disappeared. Wei Yong had a gloomy face, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Yesterday, he was still thankful for the sudden arrival of Guigu disciples Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, which allowed him to take advantage of them. Now, he wished that these two people had never appeared here.

Wei Yong, who was in a depressed mood, thought for a while and then left to prepare how to let Guigu Zongheng and the other two leave.

As for killing people directly? Wei Yong gave up after thinking about it. Not to mention that it was difficult for him to deal with Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, even if he could really solve them, the subsequent troubles would be even greater.

……

In the forest outside the village, the three people who had been fighting for a while were now confronting each other.

"Xiao Zhuang, something is wrong with him."

They had already fought for more than thirty moves and both of them were injured. After several attempts, Gai Nie had now verified his guess.

"His will was affected by the murderous intent and the will to die. At this moment, he is more like a madman who only cares about killing people."

Wei Zhuang gave his own judgment. The two looked at each other and decided to join forces to attack. Before the two could make a move, Hei Bai Xuan Jian seemed to be a little sober. He wailed, staggered a step, and then slapped his head hard.

"Ah... kill..."

"Kill...you all...will all die..."

As if he recalled something, the murderous and deathly intent emanating from Hei Bai Xuan Jian became even stronger. His eyes turned red, and he clenched the black sword tightly, ready to charge once again.

"Oh no……"

Hei Bai Xuan Jian seemed to have recalled something and slapped his head hard. Without waiting for Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang to continue observing, he quickly leaped away.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang did not continue chasing. They looked at each other and confirmed their guesses a little more.

"interesting!"

Wei Zhuang smiled coldly. It seemed that Wei Yong was going to give them more surprises.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian, a top-notch assassin in Luowang, turned out to be a hunter who was almost going crazy.

If there is no story behind this, it would be an insult to the Luowang organization.

"I think he seems to have become the center of competition among several forces."

Gai Nie sheathed his sword and left. If Wei Yong didn't give a reasonable explanation, there was no need for them to stay in this place. The two brothers returned to the village one after the other. Not long after, Wei Yong arrived and first thanked the two for their help, and then told them the new story he had thought of.

Taking advantage of the asymmetry of information, Wei Yong made up a new story that didn't seem to have many flaws, but the people he wanted to deceive were Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. After the two realized that Wei Yong wanted them to leave as soon as possible, they both found the matter more interesting.

"Master Wei, since you said you have contacted the reinforcements from Daliang, my junior brother and I will leave tomorrow."

Gai Nie acted as if he didn't want to get involved anymore. Wei Yong was overjoyed when he heard that. He thanked him repeatedly and said that he would thank him with a generous gift after returning to Daliang City.

After some polite conversation, Wei Yong left. Wei Zhuang glanced at his senior brother Gai Nie and said, "Senior brother, he won't believe that we are leaving like this."

"Why should he believe it?" Gai Nie sat down cross-legged and said calmly, "In less than a day, his attitude has changed so drastically. This proves that we are about to get to the truth of this matter."

"No matter what the reason is that makes Hei Bai Xuan Jian so persistent in hunting him in this way, I think Hei Bai Xuan Jian will soon realize that things have changed."

"A Luowang top-ranked assassin, in addition to his strength, his intelligence network is also a very important force."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang understood what his senior brother Gai Nie meant. Perhaps, the hunting of Black and White Xuan Jian will continue tonight.

……

Under the mottled moonlight, Hei Bai Xuan Jian had now regained his calm.

“What a terrible state!”

Hei Bai Xuan Jian knew that his will and soul were being eroded by death, but he did not try to overcome it. Instead, he chose to let it go.

His only obsession at this moment was to let Wei Yong die in fear.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian regained his composure briefly and thought for a while, then he realized that he could no longer kill Wei Yong as originally planned.

Because his people had just told him that another top-notch killer from Luowang, Yanri, had arrived secretly.

"You still want to stop me!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian figured out what was going on and his eyes flashed with ferocity. Wei Yong was a very decisive guy.

As Luowang's top-ranked killer, Hei Bai Xuan Jian knew too well that if there was someone who was controlled by Luowang, it would be difficult to exclude Luowang from the case.

And Wei Yong, for the sake of survival and power, has now become a dog under Luowang's control.

"You can't get away unless I die."

"Even if you have become a dog in the net."

At this moment, Hei Bai Xuan Jian no longer had any fear of Luo Wang, and the intent of death further devoured his will and soul.

Holding the black sword, he circulated the black and white internal energy, and after a few leaps, he used the force to quickly disappear in the forest and headed straight for the village.

Two figures landed at the place where Hei Bai Xuan Jian had just stayed. Under the moonlight, the general outlines of the two people could be seen.

An old man in white clothes and a mask covering the sun.

"Yanri, you are a top-ranked assassin in Luowang, is it so easy for your whereabouts to be discovered?"

The peaceful words made Yanri tremble subconsciously, and he hurriedly explained: "Sir, now part of the power of Luowang has been taken over by Zhen'an Marquis Ying Zifei. Hei Bai Xuan Jian must have seen this and investigated through the intelligence channels over there."

The old man in white raised his right hand, and then quickly pointed his finger at Yanri. Yanri was unable to avoid it and did not dare to dodge it.

An acupuncture point was pressed, and within two breaths, Yanri felt like his head was going to explode.

He tried hard to control himself and not to shout out. His trembling body, sweaty back and pale face all proved that he was in great pain.
