The courtyard looked very safe Gu Shenwei observed for two hours before entering By this ti was still lying in bed She looked at the Dragon King helplessly, who returned a day later

Gu Shenwei cut off the leather rope for her leather and took a few steps back “I have soain?”

“That depends”

The Dragon King was serious Guan Shang sat up and rubbed her arms “Please ask”

“You mentioned that the people ere killed by the iainst Golden Roc Fort What about the people in Blackse ere killed? Did they offend Golden Roc Fort as well?”

“Blacksainst Golden Roc Fort It was a tactic to take advantage of a confusing situation Many people were killed by the imposter to create chaos so that they can et The Lord wanted to kill several major Protectors as some of the larger They were even co with Golden Roc Fort secretly”

“A e was killed as well”

“He et or someone who died in vain I cannot be sure The Stone Castle kept this confidential and it was impossible for me to know”

“What do you know about Master Lianhua?”

“That holy monk as killed? As far as I know, his death was not part of Golden Roc Fort’s plan Because after hearing about his death, they were both excited and surprised by it”

“Didn’t the killers capture a few prisoners? Did they confess?”

“I don’t know anything about that However, there’s soe There are some people in the fort who seemed to be very interested in the poison that ed by the imposters They collected a few pills and even took some corpses away”

Gu Shenwei understood why Golden Roc Fort would be interested in the poison This method of suicide was si would definitely want to get to the botto couldn’t understand why they werefuss about it

“Does New Moon Hall concoct all kinds of poison often?”

Guan Shang understood what the Dragon King ood atpoisons, but there is no need for a suicide poison Every disciple is loyal and will never reveal any inforht”

Gu Shenwei had seen how the ladies of New Moon Hall would rather die than to sub was initially a loyal black-masked assassin ould never betray, yet she was roped in by New Moon Hall He said, “The Master ht?”

“I’m ashamed I am not qualified to accept the Master’s skills”

Gu Shenwei snorted slightly She was forced to pledge her allegiance to New Moon Hall so naturally she was coreatly reduced

“Take ’s request, Guan Shang seeht, but you will have to wait for seven days”

“You seemed to be in a hurry to let et information once every week and yesterday was supposed to be it Since I didn’t get the information, I would have to wait for another week”

Gu Shenas confused by Guan Shang and Mr Hong’s conflicting statements There seemed to be many clues, but none of them were useful

He stood by the door and pondered over the e of the bedat her saber, which was placed on a table a few steps away She could grab it if she stood up, but she didn’t dare to do it in front of Dragon King

“You are free,” Gu Shenwei said suddenly Guan Shang was no longer of use to hi”

“No,” Gu Shenwei refused directly He only needed intelligence, not assistance

Guan Shang stood up and picked up her saber She cautiously walked past Dragon King and said, “After a week, I will tell Master that the Dragon King wants todisappeared into the brief darkness before daybreak Like the Dragon King, she was also being hunted down by Golden Roc Fort and needs to find a safe hiding spot

Gu Shenwei followed her from a distance

North City appears to have ays, but there were many obstacles Many overt and undercover officers continued to keep watch around the place It was like a deep forest for those ere familiar with the situation There were only a few areas were not monitored or seldom monitored These areas formed a disconnected forested path

Both Gu Shenwei and Guan Shang knew these paths Hence, he could determine her path beforehand and was able to follow her from a distance If it was the chaotic South City, he would need to follow herreturned to Bodhi Garden

It was very clever of her to hide in a place where Golden Roc Fort would never expect her to be in, or perhaps she had an ulterior motive to inforon King

Gu Shenwei did not enter

Gu Shenwei took a risk and used Guan Shang’s killer waist token again as he exited the city through the eastern gate He rented a horse and rode it around the nearby streets After confir him, he sped up and headed towards the southern suburbs

There was a small hill to the south of Jade City and it was full of rocks Only a few tender blades of grass could grow in the rainy season The residents of Jade City named it Reincarnation Hill

This here corpses were dumped Any unclaimed corpses would be carried to this place and buried hastily Onthe corpses

Gu Shenwei saw a large group of crows flying up and down from a distance

Golden Roc Fort was interested in the poison sed by the suiciders Gu Shenwei initially thought that Supre out traces of New Moon Hall After pondering for some tiht be soate as well

Most of the corpses who committed suicide would be dumped at Reincarnation Hill

However, Gu Shenwei changed histhe crows He turned back and headed towards South City

He was very lucky He saw a carriage just as he was leaving the hill

There were several corpses on the carriage The two coachmen covered their faces with black cloth However, they were dressed shabbily, as though they were doing a poor imitation of killers

They were corpse transporters and had no interest in killers They covered their faces for two reasons Firstly, it was to block off the foul smell of the corpses Secondly, they wanted to keep their identities hidden as this was not a profession worth showing off
