Jin Wuhui had just stepped out of the Cultivation Secret Chamber when he saw Lu Ren hurrying toward him.
"Brother Jin, the assassination failed! Someone found Fang Jie's corpse outside Heaven's Gate City, and several other young experts from the Burning Sword Sect were dead as well." Lu Ren's expression was extremely grim.
Jin Wuhui's expression shifted. Recalling what his elder sister had told him earlier, could it be that an expert was protecting that Heart Nourisher?

Naturally, Jin Wuhui did not believe Ning Xiaochuan was a martial arts expert. He merely assumed that an unrivaled powerhouse was guarding Ning Xiaochuan's path.
