Chapter 216: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

  Liu Wuxie didn't expect that the life-taking knife technique would be so vicious, a real killer's knife, a life-taking knife.

  Whirlpool like quicksand, three black-clad killers sank and floated, their bodies covered in cracks, torn apart by ruthless swordsmanship.

  "Detonator!"

  All of a sudden!

  Before their deaths, the three men triggered the explosive symbols in their bodies, using their true energy to blow themselves up and kill Liu Wuxie, following the same principle as the immortal's self-destruction.

  This is a type of Spirit Seal. Before death, all the true energy in the body is poured into the Exploding Seal, which suddenly explodes and forms an endless wave of energy that can annihilate any opponent.

  Three Venerable Washing Marrow Realm's sevenfold power converged together, suddenly exploding, the power can be imagined, enough to destroy the Ninefold Washing Marrow Realm.

  Liu Wu Xie was at the center of the storm and couldn't avoid it. He had already anticipated that the three assassins would launch a surprise attack.

  "Overlord Fist!"

  Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful punch, creating a storm around him.

  Right away!

  A sea of flames appeared, carrying Liu Wuxie's body, constantly rising, avoiding the explosive force.

  "Boom!"

  The earth-shaking explosion could be heard clearly even in the distant city of Canglang, a massive flame shot up from the outskirts of the city into the sky, igniting half of the heavens.

  Liu Wuxie's body had already soared to a height of over thirty meters, and he still felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, the clothes on his body tearing apart inch by inch.

  Three people's true energy converged into a crazy torrent, igniting the explosive symbol, with power comparable to the ninth peak of the Washing Marrow Realm in one strike.

  "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

  A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, his body plummeting rapidly downwards, the intense impact almost shattering Liu Wuxie's internal organs.

  The aftermath is still there and has not dissipated, Liu Wuxie encountered a second wave of attack.

  "Cranes dance in the ninth heaven!"

  Taking advantage of the last bit of strength in his body, he exerted himself and moved horizontally five meters to avoid the second wave of impact. His body heavily crashed onto the grassy ground, coincidentally landing not far from Xu Lingxue.

  A large amount of fresh blood was coughed out from his mouth, although he had killed three black-clothed killers, he himself was seriously injured and could die at any time.

  The moment I fell to the ground, I directly fainted and lost consciousness.

  The three assassins completely disappeared, blown to pieces by their own explosive symbols, without even leaving behind a drop of blood.

  Time slipped away bit by bit, and the sky had already darkened. The suburbs were quiet, with only occasional sounds of insects chirping and birds calling.

  The world is in chaos, a mysterious ancient tree is rooted in the void, frantically absorbing spiritual energy to repair the damaged elixir field.

  Xu Lingxue seemed to have slept for a while, her head still feeling dizzy, and with great effort, she opened her eyes to find that there was still a piece of clothing covering her body.

  After sitting up, his eyes looked around in all directions.

  With the aid of a faint light, I saw a figure lying not far away, and quickly got up.

  "No evil, no evil, wake up quickly!"

  Squat down to check Liu Wuxie's body, the internal organs were severely damaged, suffered a severe impact, and need to be nursed back for a long time to fully recover.

  Xu Lingxue was getting anxious and didn't know what to do. She couldn't save anyone and was so flustered that she almost cried out loud.

  "Cough...cough..."

  Liu Wuxie slowly came to, dazed and confused, hearing someone calling out to him. He forced his eyes open, a faint bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He hadn't expected this injury to be so severe.

  "Don't scare me, is your injury okay?" Xu Lingxue's face was full of worry.

  At the moment she saw Liu Wuxie get hurt, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart. This feeling was indescribable, it just made her want to cry.

  "I'm fine, I won't die!"

  Forced himself to sit up, took out a few healing pellets from the storage bag, and during the refining of the Dragon Yuan Dan, he had also refined a few life-saving pellets.

  The rotation is too wild and the surrounding spiritual energy rushes in crazily, and the liquid in the Tianxuan Divine Cauldron becomes more and more abundant.

  Pour out these liquids and quickly repair his internal organs.

  The injured area was actually repairing itself in a visible way, Xu Lingxue watched with a silent whistle, what a strong recovery ability.

  An hour later...

  The injury has been basically controlled, but I still can't move my hands in the past few days to prevent the wound from relapsing.

  "Are you really okay?"

  Apart from being covered in a large amount of blood, Liu Wu Xie looked like nothing was wrong with him, Xu Ling Xue asked uncertainly.

  "It's all right, don't mention today's events to your father-in-law, lest he worry!"

  A faint smile appeared on his face as he put on a jacket to cover up the bloodstains.

  Xu Lingxue bit her lip tightly and followed quietly behind Liu Wuxie, not saying a word. Why did she have to bear everything alone?

  Two people walked into the city, it was already the first half of the night, the temple fair had dispersed, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

  "The Assassins' Guild won't stop until they achieve their goal, what are you planning to do from now on?"

  Just before arriving at the family's place, Xu Lingxue spoke up, saying that after the assassination of the pavilion, he would not hesitate to pay any price to kill him, and today he narrowly escaped, what about in the future?

  The killers sent are getting stronger and stronger, one in the light, one in the dark, making it difficult to guard against.

  "I've already figured out who wants to kill me, and I'll take care of it as soon as I get back to the Imperial City."

  Liu Wuxie stopped in his tracks, after this battle, combined with the various things that had happened in recent months, he could determine who hired the assassin to kill him.

  "Who is it!"

  Xu Lingxue stopped in her tracks, gazing at Liu Wuxie, hoping he would tell her.

  "I'll handle this myself, don't get involved, we're heading back to Imperial City the day after tomorrow."

  Liu Wuxie finished speaking and turned around to walk into the Xu family's gate, leaving Xu Lingshu standing in place, stomping her foot angrily.

  After several interactions, Xu Lingxue found that he liked to hide everything in his heart and was unwilling to mention it to others, as if locking himself in a cage.

  Xu Yilin saw them coming back together, with a smile all over his face.

  "How was your play today? Was it fun?"

  The first thing the two of them did after returning was to report their safety to Xu Yilin.

  Xu Lingxue had a look of wanting to speak but stopping herself, her eyes glanced at Liu Wuxie and found that his face didn't have any fluctuations.

  "Father-in-law, the temple fair is very interesting, we plan to return the day after tomorrow, so as not to delay our cultivation."

  Since he didn't mention it, Xu Lingxue had no choice but to give up and bid farewell to her father before going back to rest.

  Back to his own yard, took off his outerwear, revealing the blood-stained clothes, fetched clear water from the well, dipped his fingers in, and set fire to the blood-soaked clothes, turning them into ashes, lest his father-in-law discover them.

  Wash cleanly, return to the house inside, sit cross-legged, and repair injuries.

  There's still more than half a month before the duel with Qin Shi, can't afford to have any mishaps with my body.

  The next morning!

  Liu Wuxie got up early and had the butler send a letter to the city master's mansion.

  Zhen Shi took over the letter handed by Liu Wu Xie, his face dark and terrifying, but he didn't rush to open it.

  Liu Wuxie's handwritten letter has already explained a problem, the assassination failed, and he is still alive.

  Disperse all the guards around the study, Qien Shi slowly opened the letter.

  Three months ago, Liu Wuxie left. He dispatched more than a hundred elite soldiers, but one did not return. He knew that things had gotten out of hand and he must kill Liu Wuxie.

  Because he won't die, I will die instead.

  "Lord of Qi City, it's been three months since we last met. I'm sure you didn't expect me to still be alive and well, did you? Once I've settled some matters in the Imperial Capital, I'll slowly settle the scores between us."

  Only two short lines of words, yet full of intense murderous intent.

  The person with a suspicious heart finally had an answer, as expected, it was Qi Enshi.

  He alone wants to kill himself.

  In the previous assassinations, Liu Wuxie did not suspect Qi Enshi at all. It wasn't until he saw King Ruyang that he began to have suspicions.

  At that time, there were not many people in the Imperial Academy who wanted to kill him. Apart from Xue Chunyu, I really couldn't think of anyone else.

  With the strength of the Xue family, they would naturally not stoop to hiring people from the Assassins' Guild.

  Excluding Xue's family, there is only one person, Qi Enshi.

  Yu Yang Wang investigates Shi Po Jun's case. Although Liu Wu Xie doesn't know what he is investigating, it will definitely implicate many people, and Qi En Shi might be one of them.

  For his own status, Zhen Shi cannot reveal the evil things he did back then. Zhou Hu died, and his secret is only known to Liu Wu Xie alone.

  He had just returned to Canglang City, and the assassin from the Assassin's Guild appeared here. There was only one possibility: someone had informed the Assassin's Guild and leaked his whereabouts.

  Putting it all together, the suspicion points to Zain Ston, he is the most suspicious.

  "Damn it!"

  Zhen Shi crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and slammed it fiercely onto the ground.

  It was as if a ball of furious fire was burning in his chest, and with a loud crash, he slammed his right hand on the table, making a huge mahogany table split into four or five pieces.

  "Kid, I underestimated you. Do you think you can return to the Imperial City and still be alive? Even if I don't make a move, Qin Shi will kill you."

  What happened at Imperial College was already informed by Qi Ningyun to Qi Enshi through a secret letter, and the two had been in communication all along.

  A day has passed.

  It's time to say goodbye again, Xu Lingxue cried until she became a tearful person. This farewell, I don't know when we can meet again.

  Bì Gōng Yǔ had already packed his bags and was ready to head to the Imperial City together.

  "Great leader, great kindness doesn't need to be thanked for, please accept an old man's bow!"

  Master Huo looks very young today, as if he has become decades younger. I never thought that the day would come when he would become the master of Danbao Pavilion.

  "From now on, take good care of Dan Bao Ge, this is a 4th-grade elixir that can help you break through the marrow-washing realm."

  Xu Jia still needs to borrow Dan Bao Ge's help later, and Liu Wu Xie doesn't mind.

  "Thank you, I'm too grateful."

  Huo's master almost knelt down, breaking through the marrow washing realm was his lifelong dream.

  Song Tianhao led all the high-ranking members of the Song family to see him off, and everyone was sighing with emotion.

  "A good son has ambitions in all directions, your father-in-law won't keep you here, come back when you have time later. I entrust Xue Er to you now, don't disappoint the hopes I've placed in you."

  Xu Yilin patted Liu Wuxie's shoulder and said with a heavy heart, "Last time when I left, you didn't even show up."

  "Father-in-law, take this technique. This is a special technique I've written specifically for your body. Cultivate it well and you'll be able to break through the True Dan realm in at most five years."

  Liu Wuxie took out a manual of kung fu and gave it to his father-in-law, as well as his mother-in-law. He also handed over a storage bag containing many medicinal pills.

  Xu Yilin's hands were trembling with excitement, Zhen Dan realm, that was an unattainable existence. The cultivation world had a famous saying: If you don't reach the Zhen Dan realm, never set foot in the cultivation world again.

  Because you don't even have the qualifications to be an ant.

  Lan Zhi and Hu Shi cried loudly, Master is leaving, they are really heartbroken.

  "Practice well!"

  Liu Wuxie was like an elder instructing his juniors, telling them to cultivate well. The refining techniques and formation techniques he left behind were enough for them to cultivate for a lifetime.

  Xu's family had two of them present, basically no big deal.

  "Master, you must remember to come back and visit us often."

  Hu Shi knelt down and kept kowtowing to Liu Wuxie, many servants secretly covered their faces and wiped away tears. Even when the eldest sister left, she wasn't this heartbroken. This time, when the uncle left, they all shed tears together.

  It wasn't until the three of them had completely disappeared from view at the end of the street that the Xu family finally came back to their senses, having been overcome with emotion.
