"Surname Yan, given name Li, courtesy name Xiang Nan …" Second Young Master murmured, his face livid. If Yan Shifang was not here, how could Peerless Assassin not have succeeded in drawing his sword? If Yan Shifang was not here, how could Peerless Assassin have retreated? "You're still alive …"
"Many people want me to die, but I don't want others to be happy," Yan Li said with a smile.
Cheng Miao looked at Yan Li in shock. After careful observation, he finally realized that there was no trace of a mask on his face. They had been led by the nose by habit, thinking that this person was a fanatical admirer. Who would have thought that it was Yan Shifang himself? However, after the shock, he calmed down and shouted, "Yan Shifang, you escaped from World's End. If the Dao Court finds out, you will not be able to escape death!"
Bai Yuge came to his senses and gritted his teeth, his anger rising. He suddenly grabbed Yan Li's shirt. "It's you, you bastard. Why did you hide your identity?"
Yan Li said innocently, "Did I hide it?"
Bai Yuge almost spat out flames of anger. "Why did you call yourself Xiang Nan?"
Yan Li pointed at Second Young Master, then spread out his hands and said, "Because I told him that my name is Yan Li. He didn't believe me, so I made up a fake name. Who knew that he would believe me immediately. Even you think that my name is Xiang Nan. I don't know why."
Second Young Master's face alternated between green and white, and his body quietly moved back.
Bai Yuge was stunned. He suddenly remembered that he had rushed forward without even asking about his identity. He could not help but feel angry. Thinking that his life had just been saved, he let go resentfully. Then, he realized that the situation had been completely reversed. He suddenly flashed to the roof and pointed his spear at Second Young Master, who had turned to escape. "Second Zhao, you traitor! You still want to escape!" He vented all his anger on Second Young Master.
Although Second Young Master's cultivation was not bad, there was still a gap between him and Bai Yuge. After a few exchanges, he was beaten into the alley. Cheng Miao hurriedly went forward to help him up, shielding Second Young Master behind him. "Second Young Master, are you okay …"
The Second Young Master's face was pale, and blood seeped out of his mouth and nose. His hair was in a mess, and he looked very miserable. He glanced at Hai Lianjin, who was slowly walking over from the other end of the alley. He didn't know where Hai Lianjin stood, but since he could recognize Yan Shifang, he must have a deep relationship with Hai Lianjin. He couldn't help but feel despair.
"Do you think that by killing me, this matter will end?" Second Young Master suddenly chuckled coldly, "I've already sent a letter back to the clan to label me as a traitor. Then the Wei Imperial Palace will have no reason to deal with the Zhao Clan!"
Wu Zixu was shocked. He didn't expect the Second Young Master to be so scheming. Moreover, he was so ruthless towards himself. If such a person continued to hide in the clan, he would be like a poisonous snake that could devour its master at any time. Just thinking about it made him feel scared. Not being able to uproot the power of the Zhao Family would indeed cause the Wei Imperial Palace to be restrained. This was a troublesome problem.
"Letter?" Yan Li suddenly laughed. "Are you talking about this one?" As he spoke, he took out an intact envelope.
Wu Zixu took it and opened it, then laughed loudly, "Young Master Yan has been of great help."
Second Young Master's face turned ashen again as he shouted, "Cheng Miao!"
Cheng Miao trembled all over. "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, this subordinate has indeed tied up the letter and sent it out. That Arrow Eagle is as fast as lightning. No cultivator can catch up to it, unless … "
Second Young Master didn't care what unless it was. There was no point in pursuing it now. He quickly calmed down and thought of the secret art that the clan had accidentally obtained a few years ago. It was a strange and terrifying secret art called "Corporeal Body Escape". Every time it was used, one could instantly escape a hundred miles away.
The price was a certain part of the body. It couldn't be a small part. For example, a finger or even a palm wouldn't do. It had to be an entire hand. Another example would be an eye or even an entire face. It also wouldn't do. It had to be an entire head.
Of course, removing the head was equivalent to death. The escape art was just a decoration.
At this time, Second Young Master had no other choice. He shouted to Cheng Miao, "Stop them!" Without hesitation, he used his right hand to grab his left arm. His five fingers were imbued with sword qi, piercing deep into the flesh. Amidst an angry roar and a gush of blood, his left arm was completely torn off.
"Ah —" He fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
"What is he doing?" Bai Yuge jumped down from the roof. Before he could figure it out, Cheng Miao had already pounced on him.
Second Young Master rolled on the ground and cried out in pain like a mangy dog whose leg had been bitten off. But very quickly, he lay motionless. One could see that his whole body was trembling from the pain, and he was mumbling something. In a few words, the severed arm was swallowed by a black substance that suddenly appeared. He disappeared along with it.
Pfft!
The silver spear pierced through Cheng Miao's chest. Cheng Miao vomited a large mouthful of blood, but his old face had a mournful smile. "Second Young Master will avenge me. I'll wait for you in the Nine Underworlds!"
"I'll immediately go back and report to His Majesty. I'll have him send troops to destroy the Zhao Family. Let's see how he'll get his revenge." Bai Yuge grinned and pulled out his silver spear. He kicked Cheng Miao's corpse away and shook off the blood on the spear in disgust.
"Thank you, Young Master Yan, for saving us." Wu Zixu smiled and cupped his hands at Yan Li.
"Oh, one escaped. Should we catch him?" Yan Li asked.
"Let him be. If Zhao Xi's letter hadn't been sent back, then His Majesty would have already led troops to destroy the Zhao Family." Wu Zixu sighed. "Back in those days, the Zhao Clan was as famous as the Eastern Sky's Lianhai, the Northern Tang, and the White Tiger King's Divine Weapon. Afterwards, they had a great war with the Kang Clan, and their strength was greatly reduced. The Tyrant took advantage of the opportunity to subdue them.
"Fortunately, Young Master Yan, you were clever enough to intercept this letter." He cupped his hands at Yan Li again.
Yan Li said, "Lord Wu isn't bad either. I'm afraid he saw through my identity right from the start."
Looking at the two foxes, one big and one small, smiling at each other, Bai Yuge felt a chill run down his spine. He felt as if he had been sold by them and had to count the money for them.
"Congratulations on escaping, Brother Yan." Lianhai Changjin walked over and spoke calmly. It was as if Yan Li had just escaped from a prison with lax management. He looked at Cheng Miao's corpse and connected it to Zhao Xi's words. He could roughly guess what had happened. Then, he smiled bitterly. "The moment Brother Yan returned to the Jambu Kingdom, you erased an ancient clan. What a great move."
"Only then did I live up to my friendship with the Little Tyrant." Yan Li smiled at him, then said to Wu Zixu, "The two of you shouldn't stay any longer. Why don't you leave first?"
Wu Zixu nodded. "When Young Master Yan is free, come to the palace to take a look."
Bai Yuge hesitated for a moment, then said fiercely to Yan Li, "You cheated a hundred soul stones from me. I'll remember this. I'll settle this with you sooner or later!" With that, he strode after him.
"Sufang." Yan Li called out. A ripple spread out in the void, and Qin Sufang appeared in a flash. She knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Li. "Young Master." Her forced calm voice exposed her emotions.
"I know that you've made a name for yourself these few years, but I wonder if you're still willing to work for me?"
"I'm your subordinate.
I'm Young Master's sword. If Young Master needs me, I'll have a reason to exist. "
Yan Li smiled. He placed his hand on Qin Sufang's head and gently stroked it twice. On Qin Sufang's face, two red clouds appeared behind her mask. If not for her many years of studying the sword realm, she would have long been overwhelmed with excitement.
"Alright. Send them back to the Wei Palace first, then meet me at the Water Cloud Pavilion."
"Yes!" Qin Sufang stood up and chased after him.
Lian Hai Changjin looked at Qin Sufang's slowly disappearing figure and said, "She's a little like Yan Wushuang."
"But not Yan Wushuang." Yan Li said.
Lian Hai Changjin nodded. "Yan Wushuang isn't lost about the future. — — Why did Brother Yan come to the Wind Cave Manor? "
"I heard you're in trouble. Is there anything I can do for you? "Yan Li said with a smile.
Lian Hai Changjin felt a warmth in her heart. She immediately explained the predicament of the manor in detail. Then she said, "Looks like the undercover plan won't work. Shi Dong will most likely investigate every participant. If I go back, I'll be walking into a trap."
Yan Li shook his head and said, "Why don't you gather the strength of the manor and kill Shi Dong directly? Any excuse is fine. Just say that he ambushed the previous Clan Leader during the beast tide. With Lian Hai Qingshan's strength close to the top ten of the Heavenly Star List, Shi Dong won't be your match."
Lian Hai Changjin smiled bitterly. "Great Investigator Shi has a good reputation in the Jianghu. He's a good official with a heart full of justice. Clan Leader can't do it."
"Soft-hearted!" Yan Li raised his eyebrows. "You only have yourselves to blame for the manor falling to such a state." He said with a strange smile. "Since you can't do it, why don't I help you? Great Investigator Shi, how much longer are you going to listen?"
Lian Hai Changjin was slightly shocked. She looked up at the roof and saw Shi Dong flipping over from the other side. He looked down at the two of them with a cold and stern expression.
Shi Dong's emotions were far from being as simple as he showed. He was already in a state of shock. But hearing Yan Li's words, he couldn't help but show himself. "Mister … Mister Yan, I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said." He originally wanted to call him by his name, but when he thought of his attainments in music, he unconsciously addressed him respectfully.
Seeing that Shi Dong was alone, Yan Li smiled. "Great Investigator Shi knows that my life isn't valuable enough for the Dragon Emperor. Only being King Wei's right-hand man can help you continue to be promoted. That's why you sent your subordinates to kill me. But you should have heard it. I sent Wushuang to protect them, but Great Investigator Shi can still sit on the fishing platform? "
"They are loyal to their lord." Shi Dong said slowly. "If they can't catch you, it's also because they haven't grasped the fate of riches and honor. Seeing Mister Yan's confidence, I'm itching to show my skills. It won't be too late to catch you first, then the other two. " He gave a low roar and stomped his foot. A large hole appeared in the roof tiles. He had already pounced towards Yan Li. His aura surged violently. It could be seen that the cold wave was a step ahead and was about to swallow Yan Li.
That cold wave was the Law Domain. When he used the Ice-Splitting Palm, this phenomenon would occur. The cold wave looked like a fog, but it was definitely not as simple as it seemed. The meridians of those who were within the cold wave would immediately be blocked. The circulation of true Qi would not be smooth, and blockages would occur. In just three to five breaths, the cultivator's own true Qi would kill him. The principle was similar to that of Yan Li's "Rahu". The Ice-Splitting Palm took longer to take effect, but it was more insidious. It could be said that it killed without leaving a trace.
Just like how Shi Dong dealt with all the vicious criminals in the past, he used the Ice-Splitting Palm that he was most proficient in, not giving his enemy any chance to counterattack.
