"If there's nothing else, I'll return to the inn. If there's anything, you can let me know. " Nie Li propped himself up with the Autumn Rain Blade and left. The uneasiness in his heart made him unhappy. He felt that there was a pair of hands behind his back that were constantly pulling the strings of fate.
After returning to the inn, Nie Li chose to stay in his room. He didn't know what the murderer was planning. Just knowing that the murderer knew demonic martial arts was of no use to him. He could only hope that Shao Zhengming and the rest could catch him.
For Nie Li, cultivation was the most important thing. Looking at the wooden box beside him, Nie Li gently brushed his hand over it and felt the other patterns on the box. An indescribable feeling reverberated in his heart and his consciousness gradually sank.
After a long time, he opened his eyes. The moment he opened them, a light flashed through his eyes. Nie Li slowly raised his hand. He could feel the call of the blood moon. Nie Li was shocked to realize that the blood moon's call to him was becoming stronger.
Previously, he was weak and the call of the blood moon was very weak. However, now that he had entered the Xiantian realm and his understanding of the saber had deepened, he could feel the call of the blood moon. It wanted him to hold it.
However, it was this feeling that made Nie Li resist the blood moon. A saber shouldn't take over a person's body. Therefore, Nie Li wouldn't use the blood moon, at least not now. Furthermore, he already had the Autumn Rain Blade. He looked at the Autumn Rain Blade in his hand.
Nie Li gently brushed his hand over it. During this period of time, he had already formed a resonance with the Autumn Rain Blade. Everything in the world had spirituality, just like the blood moon. However, the Autumn Rain Blade wasn't as good as the blood moon, so he could only slowly nurture it.
A true saber artist would never leave their saber. Only through constant companionship and tempering could they form a resonance with the saber. Although Nie Li wasn't a true saber artist, his desire for a sense of security made him never leave his saber.
Suddenly, the Seven Kills Token in the wooden box lit up. Nie Li looked at the token and guessed that the Dubhe Pavilion was looking for him. He immediately picked up the Seven Kills Mask and headed to the Dubhe Pavilion.
After passing through layers of protection, Nie Li placed the Seven Kills Token on the mechanism. It was still dark inside. Only after he put on the mask would it be bright.
"Qisha, Elder Gou is looking for you." Nie Li was wearing the Seven Kills Mask. Just as he entered, a person said to Nie Li. The other party was also wearing a mask, so Nie Li naturally didn't know who the other party was.
"Got it. Sorry to trouble you." Nie Li thanked him and went to the library with ease. Elder Gou was already sitting in front of the counter with a lazy look. When he saw Nie Li coming, he waved his hand.
Nie Li casually sat on a chair. "Elder Gou, is there something you need from me?" Nie Li asked. "I heard that yesterday, someone imitated your move and killed the Murong family's boy." Elder Gou lay on the table, his eyelids almost narrowed.
"That's right. Last time, Pan Shuwen of the Pan Family was also framed by someone," Nie Li said.
"Don't worry, I've already informed the Mu Rong family. Mu Rong Qi won't do anything to you. However, this matter is not a simple matter. You have to resolve it as soon as possible. "Elder Gou raised his eyelids.
"However, there's no way to know the motive of the murderer. No one knows who he will kill next time. "Nie Li was a little helpless. How difficult was it to find a person in such a big city?
"It's true that the murderer's motive can't be guessed, but he is imitating your moves. This means that this person has seen you fight. "Elder Gou's words made Nie Li shiver. He and Shao Zhengming had been surrounding the murderer.
However, he forgot about another key character, and that was Nie Li. Although he didn't know why the murderer wanted to frame Nie Li, he must have fought with Nie Li before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have understood Nie Li's moves so clearly.
Nie Li fell into deep thought. There were many people who fought with him. However, to fight with him and kill the people of the Pan Family and Mu Rong family, Nie Li could only guess one person, and that was Yang Fuzhao.
"Alright, you can go find the answer yourself! I called you here to give you something. "After Elder Gou finished speaking, he took out a ring from under the table and threw it to Nie Li.
"What is this?" Nie Li held the ring in his hand and looked at it. The simple and ordinary ring didn't have any bright spots, just like a piece of scrap metal.
"Try injecting your internal force into it." Elder Gou said. Nie Li injected his internal force into it. The black internal force attached to it and the ring slowly changed. The color of the ring turned black and red, looking a little evil.
"This is." Nie Li was shocked. There was actually a space inside. What was going on? Such a wonderful treasure was actually given to him by Elder Gou.
"This is a spatial treasure. It can store some things inside. I got it from the Divine Workshop." Elder Gou said.
"What is the Divine Workshop?"
"This Jianghu is very big. In addition to the big sects in the Jianghu songs, there are countless forces in the Jianghu. For example, the Medicine King Mountain with unparalleled medical skills, the Sword Cliff with unparalleled swordsmithing, the Heavenly Sound Valley with unique sounds, the Mu Family with unique hidden weapons, and the Divine Workshop makes all kinds of artifacts. They are all the best craftsmen in the world. "
After listening to Elder Gou's words, Nie Li only nodded. He had never come into contact with these forces. "You will come into contact with them later. Alright, take the ring! I also left some medicinal pills for you inside. "After Elder Gou finished speaking, he waved his hand and fell asleep.
"That kid will take his leave." Nie Li picked up the ring and left Dubhe Pavilion. After returning to the inn, he kept playing with the ring on his hand. With this ring, he didn't need to carry these bags all the time.
However, he didn't expect that there would be such a stunning skill in this world that could open up a small space. He put the wooden box, luggage, and some other things into it. After playing with it a few times, Nie Li felt that his mental strength was a little weak. It seemed that opening the ring consumed a lot of mental strength.
After reciting the Buddhist scriptures, Nie Li focused his energy on cultivation. Tomorrow was the third day. He had to adjust his condition. Bu Gui would definitely assign tasks to him and the fourth team.
The next day, Nie Li arrived at the Shadow Killer Camp on the agreed date. At this moment, there were some unfamiliar faces in the camp. Nie Li knew at a glance that these people were fresh blood sent by the prince.
"My Lord." Nie Li went directly to Bu Gui.
"You're quite punctual. Three days, just right. Take your team and go to this place. " Bu Gui tossed a map to Nie Li. Nie Li took it and saw that it was actually the Black Mountain Stronghold. And on top of the Black Mountain Stronghold was the evil Black Mountain Stronghold. Bu Gui actually wanted him to lead his men to attack the Black Mountain Stronghold.
"What, can't I?" Bu Gui asked.
"You can, but my Lord, what do I want to ask?" Nie Li could only brace himself and accept.
"The Black Mountain Stronghold has harmed the common people. Everyone has the right to punish them. This time, the prince is the one who volunteered, so you have to make good use of it. If you perform well, the prince will be happy, and you and I will have an easier time, "Bu Gui said.
"Alright, but the strength of our fourth squad might not be enough!" Nie Li said. How could the fourth team fight the Black Mountain Stronghold? Just the remnants of the Yang Family would be hard enough to deal with.
"Don't worry. There will be an attack from the front. You and the fourth team only need to harass and assassinate." After Bu Gui said that, Nie Li breathed a sigh of relief. At least this wasn't a suicide mission.
"Alright, I understand." Nie Li took the map and left. In the empty room, Bu Gui sighed and said something, but no one could hear him.
Nie Li walked out of Bu Gui's study and came to the courtyard outside. He circulated his energy in his dantian and shouted. "Everyone in the fourth team is to gather here in five breaths. Late arrivals will be punished." Nie Li's voice was like thunder, echoing in the valley over and over again.
Five, four, three, two, one. Nie Li kept counting in his heart. As the former members of the fourth team, they ran very fast. They knew Nie Li's strength and naturally didn't dare to provoke him. However, those who had just arrived were fearless because they didn't know.
"Captain, there are still two people who haven't arrived." The former member of the fourth team, who seemed to be called Demon Apprentice, whispered in front of Nie Li. Nie Li didn't say anything and continued to stand in place. However, his left hand slowly rested on the scabbard.
When Demon Apprentice saw Nie Li's actions, he knew that he was about to make a move. He sighed in his heart that the two of them were really blind. Soon, he saw the two of them slowly walking over. They looked like they were strolling in a courtyard, as if they were on a scenic tour.
When Demon Apprentice saw the two of them, he didn't feel any sorrow in his heart. These kinds of people couldn't survive in this place. "What's the matter with the two of you?" Nie Li's tone was cold. His ghost mask shone dimly under the sunlight.
"Sorry, we were too serious in our cultivation. We didn't hear anything. " The two of them had an attitude of 'what can you do to me'. For a martial artist, even if they were cultivating, they would still be able to sense the movements around them. However, the two of them actually used that as a reason. Did they think Nie Li was a fool?
"I just said that late arrivals will be punished." Nie Li didn't want to waste his breath on them. The two of them were just trying to make things difficult for him. They really thought that he was a pushover.
"We're only late. Why do you have to punish us? Furthermore! Your strength isn't that high either. " Seeing Nie Li's arrogant appearance, the two of them were unhappy. They were both late-stage Xiantian Realm, yet they were being shouted at by a mid-stage Xiantian Realm brat.
The others looked as if they were watching a good show. The original members of the fourth team naturally knew how powerful Nie Li was. They were just watching the two of them joke around. As for the newcomers, they wanted to see how the captain would deal with it.
"I already said that late arrivals will be punished. No one can escape." After Nie Li finished speaking, he had already unsheathed his saber. He directly used the Four Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon and rushed in front of the two of them. The Autumn Rain Saber was unsheathed and the Snowstorm Saber Draw slashed out a saber beam.
The Heaven and Earth Saber Slash followed closely behind. The two of them had yet to react. It could be said that they didn't expect Nie Li to suddenly draw his saber. In front of the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon, such a close distance was negligible.
The two heads were thrown high into the air as blood spurted out. The blood splattered on the faces of the few people who were closer. They could smell the blood at the tip of their noses and feel the boiling blood on their skin.
However, their hearts were cold. Killing without a word, this captain's murderous nature was simply too great.
Nie Li put away his saber and didn't say a word. He just looked at everyone in front of him.
He was establishing his might. He wanted everyone to fear him. Only then would they obediently listen to him.
"Demon Apprentice, throw these two corpses away and get someone to clean up the courtyard. All of you, remember this. Go and prepare. Gather here at midnight tonight. "After Nie Li finished speaking, everyone left in an instant.
The Demon Apprentice was left alone. He carried the two headless corpses and kicked the two heads under his feet and quickly left.
