Maid Lotus had been quickly taken off the suspect list The prostitute had seen a “long-haired ghost” as very likely fe into and nearly fighting against said “ghost” Therefore it was i’soutside had initially suspected Maid Lotus when they were unable to catch the assassin They quickly realized though, that this was false

In Golden Roc Fort, rieve when their eneral, did not treat their apprentices as hue, those with hts to the death, so as to quickly eli their apprentices were even more common Theabout their deeds a cold-blooded killers was to incite hatred in their hearts

Not only were there witnesses that verified Maid Lotus did not kill Wu Ling, but she had no need to deny it if she did Rather, she would have blatantly publicized it, for she could then inherit her mentor’s red belt and officially become a killer

Gu Shenwei had another doubt: Maid Lotus secretly passed the Death Scripture to other people

This idea was also swiftly debunked Only four Dragon Year apprentices had remained in South City Liuhua had atte the time Wildhorse was the leader of the rival side, and hence Maid Lotus was irreconcilable enee the Death Scripture , it would not have been to theainst Gu Shenwei, and had also debunked it by the saan to search for hidden traces and clues together This rare alone time allowed them to revert to a past when they helped and inspired each other

It was possible that a portion of the Death Scripture ‘s swordcraft remained in New Moon Hall – the New Moon Hall was formerly a part of Golden Roc Fort, which the scripture was closely connected with

As the Four Truths Tements of the Death Scripture , it could also have kept a portion of the swordcraft Furtherer Monk could diested that he had a deep understanding of swordcraft

While Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus wereover the conspiracy of the monk and the swordcraft, the killers in the other roo fiasco

The Golden Roc Fort sent people to continue the interrogations overnight In the early hours of the , Mister Guo of the Whiterobe Acadeather all of South City’s strength to hunt down the disciples of New Moon Hall and Barren Sect The cautious plan of luring the snakes out of their holes was abandoned; Golden Roc Fort was ready to take a lot of lives

Wu Ling’s death was only one of ht While the killers were gathered in the brothel searching for clues regarding the assassin,place elsewhere

Seven spies of the Golden Roc Fort were assassinated, while four killers, including Wu Ling, met their end There were also several plots that failed Wildhorse was able to turn on his assassin, thus becoht This also revealed to Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus that they were the only those killing desires eakened after studying the Exorcism Manuscript

As more and more news arrived, everyone finally understood that this was not an isolated case New Moon Hall and Barren Sect were declaring war on Golden Roc Fort by this method – the battle between them now extended from the desert to Jade City

As soon as the sun rose, the streets of South City becaand small, were the worst hit – those which had little connections or weak backing were i, the Golden Roc Fort killers and hired h some of the victims had concealed steel needles and demonstrated remarkable skill in their resistance, the majority were innocent souls

The subsequent investigation showed that the results of the est group and killed the htered indiscriminately and purposelessly, and soes By contrast, the Golden Roc Fort killers were adequately prepared and had a clear purpose

Once the an, the four brown-belt assassins who served as bait were cootten They had become of little value because the enemies had shown no interest in them

The four youths were placed in an obscure yard and left to themselves while their h Tie Hanfeng was heavily displeased by his apprentice’s form over the past two days, he warned the latter not to act presumptuously The e factions, and was not so and alias-less killer could solve on his own

Gu Shenaited conscientiously for two days, but subsequently decided to resuer endure the tor He had a different idea – if New Moon Hall was indeed a strong force, he could secretly assist theht between the two factions, the better it would be for the revenge

The four youths publicly broke up over this htily rejected Slave Huan’s request Liuhua’s reason was simple and frank, “You aren’t the leader now” Wildhorse sirimly at him with contempt-filled eyes

Gu Shenwei’s only accomplice was Maid Lotus

The first clue was the audacious macheteman Gu Shenwei did not want to alert the snake, but now that the snakes were dancing er important to be covert

However, he soon discovered that the macheteman had disappeared The latter’s residence had a new occupant who had justabout the previous occupant

The second clue was the long iron nail, which Gu Shenwei had kept even though Tie Hanfeng paid no attention to it The only thing he could do noas to bring it to a blacksmith

It was already noon, but there were few people on the streets Notthese terrible times The only people around were ave away their ill intent They leered at Maid Lotus and only moved away resentfully when they saw the saber below her waist

The peak of theto the primary nature of killers, Golden Roc Fort, New Moon Hall, and Barren Sect only carried out activities during nightti sides had caused daht upper hand

There were almost asas there were athered in the southeastern suburbs, where they had fore Earthen walls were built around it so that the knocking noises which continued round the clock would not disturb their neighbors too an, there were only a few trades in Jade City which continued to flourish, one of which was blacks noises could already be heard ceaselessly

Gu Shenwei soon realized that it would not be easy to find out the origin of the nail here The two sides of the street were filled with blacks, by estimation, sixty or seventy shops Once the blacksmiths heard that the two youths, who looked es, were not here for business but to ask for infor to talk

In the end, the duo found and entered what see, they stood guard at the door and flashed their sabers, causing other visitors to keep away

The blacksmiths in the shop stopped their work and looked at the youths who caly bad intent One of them placed his hammer doiped his hands on his apron, and sized up the two incohts “Please wait a second”
