With An Shirong’s death, the old order in Mingjing City was broken. Given the current trend, Wei Yue has a good chance of replacing him as Mingjing City’s new overlord.
But are the various factions willing? Is the Black Dragon Association willing?
In the following period, Mingjing City is sure to continue to experience chaos.
The three exchanged a glance, all tacitly decided not to talk about this topic. Their course of action was simple: don’t wade into the muddy waters; just watch the spectacle from the shore.
Qingyi Fei Niao understood bits and pieces of these matters; she could roughly grasp Fang Zheng’s meaning but was not very concerned.
Actually, a thought had been lingering in her mind; she always wanted to mention it to Fang Zheng. She felt the masked swordsman and Gao Xuan were somewhat similar.
But with her father speaking, she ultimately did not speak up. Now, she felt it was inappropriate to talk more about this.
Because Fang Zheng and the others clearly had views on the swordsman, carrying a hint of caution and hostility.
Linking the masked swordsman to Gao Xuan would surely be unwise.
Qingyi Fei Niao could only keep the question to herself.
Actually, she hadn’t noticed any problems, it was just an instinct from her Spiritual Miao intuition in Sword Dao, feeling the masked swordsman and Gao Xuan had a resemblance.
In terms of techniques and style, Gao Xuan and the masked swordsman were completely different.
However, both possessed the composure to control everything. Powerful swordsmen seemed to all have this trait. But Qingyi Fei Niao always felt there was some kind of connection between them.
Such a subtle feeling was hard for her to articulate clearly. So she wished to consult Fang Zheng.
But the timing was not right, she could only suppress her doubts.
Qingyi Fei Niao decided to discuss this issue with Gao Xuan when she sees him.
Among all attendees at the banquet, only Qingyi Fei Niao had such a keen intuition in Sword Dao.
Others didn’t possess Qingyi Fei Niao’s ability, nor could they link the masked assassin to Gao Xuan.
Bai Yutang from Zhengqi Hall had been speculating about the assassin’s identity, yet always came up short.
In the scope of Pegasus Star, no one matching the criteria could be found.
Just that one criterion of top swordsmen had already narrowed the search radius to a very small circle.
It was certain that those capable of easily killing swordsmen in Bai Yuncheng held no suspicion.
The only most valuable clue now was the Godslaying Sword.
Bai Yutang remembered the Godslaying Sword because it appeared in the marvel exchange list provided by the organization.
As for where the Godslaying Sword actually was, she didn’t know.
The sudden emergence of the assassin had completely altered the landscape of Mingjing City. It was a major affair that required serious attention.
Returning home, Bai Yutang reported to her superiors through the Dark Web.
The report had just been submitted when it immediately drew attention.
Bai Yutang had not yet closed the Dark Web when the video connected.
On the virtual light screen, a woman in a fiery red dress was seated in the shadows, only her bright red dress could be seen.
The woman’s legs were crossed, her posture appeared languid and casual. Though her upper body was not visible, just that posture exuded great allure.
Bai Yutang had never known the specific identity of the opposite party, only that this person was the president of the General Association, wielding substantial power. One word from her could decide life or death.
Bai Yutang had no desire at all to probe the identity of the opposite party. To pry into the identity of high-ranking figures was a major taboo.
Blood God Association is an Evil God Organization; the interests within are immense yet dangerous.
As the Mingjing City Branch President, Bai Yutang certainly understood the rules.
"What’s the matter, tell me the details..." The president on the opposite end spoke, her voice had been distinctly processed, sounding ethereal.
Bai Yutang earnestly summarized the process briefly, and then played the combat video she recorded. She detailed the impact of the assassin on Mingjing City, finally mentioned the matter of the Godslaying Sword.
"This person’s swordsmanship is quite excellent. But the approach feels very raw."
After watching the combat video, the president also expressed appreciation for the assassin’s swordsmanship, she pondered and said: "Came alone, publicly slain Bai Yuncheng at the banquet. The sword’s sharpness was heroic, already had the demeanor of a Sword Hero unrestrained. Such a person should not be called a sneaky killer. Should be termed an assassin!"
Bai Yutang dared not speak recklessly, cautiously kept her head slightly lowered awaiting instructions.
"Keep a close watch on this assassin, report immediately if there’s any news."
The president said: "The assassin is rather formidable, do not act rashly."
Bai Yutang also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing she would be tasked to capture the assassin, which would be akin to courting death.
The president closed the video, her face slowly emerged from the shadows.
She had long brows and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, sharp and exceptionally delicate features, with a faint languid casualness between her brows, yet carried an endless allure.
If Bai Yutang could see this face, she would immediately recognize her as Luojia, Pegasus Star’s top celebrity.
Whether in acting, singing, or dancing, Luojia was the best in every industry.
All other celebrities combined seem not to be as famous as Luojia.
Now Luojia’s fame had already spread across the Twelve Star Domain, making her the most sought-after celebrity in the Twelve Star Domain.
No one would imagine this super celebrity was actually the president of the Blood God Association.
Luojia slowly rotated the glass wine cup in her hand, revealing a contemplative expression.
After a while, she softly said: "Xiaobai, what do you think is happening here?"
A plump and white Little White Pig appeared in the air, opening its mouth it said: "The Godslaying Sword has always been hidden in the vault of Beikun Base. No one has moved it."
Luojia took a sip of wine like blood, its rich and mellow fragrance unfolded in layers, slightly invigorating her spirit, "This assassin is related to the destruction of Beikun Base."
Little White Pig nodded vigorously: "Certainly related. Perhaps, this person was the one who took down Beikun Base. That makes everything make sense."
Luojia asked: "You mean this person destroyed Beikun Base for the Godslaying Sword?"
"That’s a very logical assumption. Otherwise, it doesn’t explain why the base was wiped out."
Little White Pig’s small eyes showed contempt, "The report from below said something about internal strife in the base, it’s simply laughable."
Luojia asked again: "What do you think is this person’s background?"
"Who knows. I’m just a pig." Little White Pig rolled its eyes.
Luojia patted Little White Pig’s head: "You didn’t say, I almost forgot. For a Divine Servant to end up like you, it’s too much of a failure. An utter disgrace to my master. Maybe I should roast you..."
Little White Pig displayed a flattering smile on its pig face: "The data’s just too good, can’t calculate it. When you go to Mingjing in September, as long as the person hasn’t left, I’ll definitely find him!"
Little White Pig vowed earnestly, even standing up to raise its left forelimb in a swearing posture: "I swear to my master, I will definitely achieve it."
Luojia showed a happy smile, she embraced the Little White Pig: "Xiaobai is so good. I was just teasing you earlier, how could I bear to eat you..."
Little White Pig tried hard to squeeze out a smile, while silently weeping inside: "Damn, who between us is the demon here, my master, please save me..."
