Soul-Returning One Blade!

Early the next morning...

Yue Ling seemed a little listless... No wonder, after all, she hadn't slept well that night because of the Moon Shadow Cult's sneak attack.

Ma Liang seemed to be in good spirits, and Ma Liang slept very soundly.

Ma Liang said that it's true that he tricked Night Owl and his gang last time, but this time it really has nothing to do with Ma Liang.

Look, wasn't it Zhao Qi and his wife who requested the house change?

To be honest, even Ma Liang didn't expect this...

Ma Liang originally intended that if the Night Owl made a move, he would kill the Ghost Envoy directly...

But Ma Liang never dreamed that Zhao Qi wife would actually ask to move houses. We still don't know what's really going on with Night Owl and the others...

They ambushed the couple twice in such a short period of time... Ma Liang said he thought they were utterly depraved!

Chu Xinghe looks very energetic!

What the heck? Why do you think I, Chu Xinghe, am so energetic? Did I sleep well last night?

I, Chu Xinghe, didn't sleep a wink last night...

Goodness, Chu Xinghe thought this was amazing... absolutely amazing... these guys and girls are such gossips... they dug up all sorts of old, trivial things.

They started talking about Zhao Qi wife, then the Moon Shadow Cult, and eventually even High Person Huiming... They even talked about High Person Huiming's past relationships with several female confidantes!

Chu Xinghe listened to it all night long, without sleeping a wink... He really got more and more energized the more he listened!

What the hell? You're telling me, Chu Xinghe, this isn't gossip?

Chu Xinghe denied this entirely!

Do you even know what it means to know yourself and your enemy?

Why did I, Chu Xinghe, come out this time? Why did I take on the task of protecting Yue Ling?

Am I unaware of Black Sha's existence, or am I unaware of Night Owl's existence?

I had no idea I could crush these two people, and even the Moon Shadow Cult, with a flick of my finger?

The reason I, Chu Xinghe, have never done this is mainly because I, Chu Xinghe, want to use this opportunity to understand the affairs of the lower-level sects!

I, Chu Xinghe, am also conducting an incognito visit to the grassroots!

So I'm not really into gossip, I'm just accumulating experience!

After having breakfast at the Huiming Sect, the three left and continued Huiming Sect towards the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom...

As the three-person team continued their journey... news of what had happened at the Huiming Sect spread far and wide through various channels in a very short time!

Of course, news of this caliber wouldn't be known to everyone Four Continents, and even the entire Blazing Sun Continent wouldn't dare claim to know it.

However, the Great Liang Kingdom, the Great Chang Kingdom, and the surrounding countries still learned about the Huiming Sect.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news that the Moon Shadow Cult had launched a second sneak attack on Zhao Qi and his wife...

"Wait... what exactly is the grudge between the Moon Shadow Cult and the Gathering Fire Sect? How could they have ambushed them twice in such a short period of time?"

"And they all attacked Zhao Qi and his wife simultaneously, giving the impression that they were trying to wipe them out in one fell swoop..."

"I've never heard of any grudge between the Moon Shadow Cult and the Gathering Fire Sect..."

Some cultivators connected to the Moon Shadow Cult even sent people to inquire about the grudges between the Moon Shadow Cult and the Gathering Fire Sect, questioning why the sect would so frequently launch sneak attacks on their sect leader and his wife.

When asked about this, the Moon Shadow Cult member replied, "You might not believe it... but we Moon Shadow Cult members are far more clueless about this than you are..."

Because our Moon Shadow Cult has absolutely no grudges with the Gathering Fire Sect... even if there were, it only started recently...

We have absolutely no idea why that Night Owl would go on such a rampage against Zhao Qi and his wife!

This Night Owl is like it's been bewitched...

Whether the people of the Moon Shadow Cult are confused or not, I don't know...

At this moment, within the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom, two people were squatting in a dilapidated little house that was drafty on all sides and had only half a roof left!

Black Sha crouched in the northeast corner of the house, looking around blankly while wiping the blood flowing from his nose...

What the heck? Why is Black Sha's nose bleeding?

Black Sha said... "Do you know about Blood Escape?"

You escape, you flow away...

In just a few short days... I Black Sha Blood Escape twice... Look at my body now, is there even a single good spot left?

You might not believe it... but I, Black Sha, really am here to hunt down someone...

But the opponent is too hard to kill... This target hasn't been eliminated... I, Black Sha, really can't hold on much longer...

Black Sha crouched in the northeast corner...

Crouching in the northwest corner is Night Owl... Night Owl now looks even more ferocious than his Ghost Envoy... His black brocade robe is now full of holes and bloodstains, Black Sha Fiend has his hair disheveled with his hands tucked into his sleeves, squatting on the ground without saying a word!

Even at this moment Night Owl still didn't understand... what had happened?

Is it true that every room in the world that you go into is filled with Zhao Qi wife?

This room was supposed to be filled with Yue Ling? Is Yue Ling capable of transformation?

Is it possible for her to directly transform into Zhao Qi wife?

"This is definitely the room you described?" Finally, Night Owl turned his gaze to Black Sha.

Hearing Night Owl's words, Black Sha was so angry he almost wet himself!

"Night Owl... you're still criticizing me? Didn't I tell you to be careful, to be careful... and to go scout ahead first... to make sure before you act... but you just wouldn't listen!"

Hearing Black Sha's words, Night Owl was so angry that tears streamed down his face...

Is this even a question of whether or not I'll listen to you?

If I had sent out that Ghost Envoy with the Haotian Mirror Sub-Mirror back then, the effect would have been even more explosive than this!

So what difference does it make whether I listen to you or not? Tell me the result.

"Black Sha, I think you're tired of living!" Night Owl was so angry that he wanted to kill Black Sha on the spot!

"Haha... Night Owl, you've finally given yourself away, haven't you? You want to kill me now... So you've really surrendered, haven't you?"

Night Owl: "Me? I surrendered?"

Black Sha: "If you didn't surrender, why would you do something so outrageous? And now only I have the Tracking Spirit Sphere to find the Yue Ling's trail, yet you wanted to kill me. Isn't that surrendering?"

Night Owl: "..."

The Night Owl experienced despair, Night Owl, and even teetered on the brink of death...

But Night Owl said he had never been so speechless in his life!

Why the hell is this happening...? I, Night Owl, have no problem taking action... but why does something always go wrong...?

Just as Night Owl was on the verge of despair, the communication signal lit up...

Seeing the communication token light up, Night Owl and Black Sha stopped arguing, but after waiting for a long time, no sound came from the other side of the communication token.

At this moment, Night Owl and Black Sha understood... that their master on the other end of the message was probably in a state of utter speechlessness.

And indeed, the messenger on the other end of the line, after much deliberation, finally spoke, "Night Owl... just tell the truth, when exactly did you cast the order?"

Night Owl: "..."

Black Sha: "!!"

"My lord... I... I'm innocent..." Night Owl was on the verge of tears.

"You're innocent? My lord, he can't be innocent in the slightest..." Black Sha was about to accuse him, but Black Sha master interrupted him before he could finish, "Shut up! Don't you have any idea what you've done?"

Black Sha: "..."

At this moment, the master was looking at Black Sha and Night Owl through the communication token... At this moment, the master thought to himself, "It's only because these two aren't around that I've killed them already..."

Seriously, what the hell are you two doing?

Black Sha was one of my most capable lieutenants... He always completed every mission flawlessly...

But look at what Black Sha Fiend has done this time!

Just when the master thought that Black Sha's actions were outrageous enough, Night Owl proved with facts that he not only far surpassed Black Sha in combat power, but also that Black Fiend was far more outrageous than Black Sha Fiend could ever hope to match!

This guy was supposed to take out the target... and instead you acted like a lunatic, grabbing Zhao Qi wife to secretly film them...

Your first attempt at secretly taking photos might have been a mistake... but you went and chased them all the way to the Huiming Sect to make a second move...

What I'm saying is... Night Owl, if you want to fleece someone, can you at least leave one sheep untouched?

Can't you at least find someone else?

Are you sure the Tracking Spirit Orb you have is tracking Yue Ling and not Zhao Qi wife?

"Night Owl, tell me the truth, do you have some kind of grudge against Zhao Qi and his wife?" the lord finally spoke up.

Night Owl: "My lord... I don't even know those two!"

"So you just enjoy taking candid photos?"

Night Owl: "..."

The Lord is saying, "Do you even want to hear what you're saying, or is it even human language?"

If you told me today that you had some kind of grudge against Zhao Qi and his wife, I could somewhat accept what you did...

But if you don't even know the person, tell me, how do you manage to pinpoint them so accurately every time?

And even if you lock on, isn't the timing of your sneak attack a bit too ridiculous?

Given the timing you chose, tell me, besides simply enjoying taking candid photos, what other motives could you have?

All three of them fell silent at this moment...

After an unknown amount of time, Night Owl spoke, "Please, my lord, give Night Owl another chance... I, Night Owl, will personally take the target's head!"

"You've got to be kidding me... Night Owl, I can't give you another chance... My Black Sha cultivation isn't up to par... I really can't withstand a third Blood Escape... Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, why don't you just kill me already..."

Night Owl: "..."

Lord: "..."

"Enough!" the master roared, and Black Sha and Night Owl both shut up!

"The cult leader is furious, so Night Owl, you'd better think about how you're going to explain this to him... From now on, the cult leader doesn't need you to take action anymore... because he's already found someone to do it!"

"Who... who is it?" Night Owl asked, looking puzzled.

"The Soul-Returning One Blade!"

Upon hearing their lord utter the words "Soul-Returning One Blade Strike," Black Sha and Night Owl's expressions changed drastically, and their bodies even trembled uncontrollably!

The Soul-Returning One Blade... now the number one assassin in the Blazing Sun Continent...

The Soul-Returning One Blade —he strikes only once against any target, and if it misses, he flees a thousand miles away. Yet, since the Soul-Returning One Blade appeared, there has never been a target in this world capable of withstanding a single blow from it...
