The six masked man s were all very strong and could be considered experts in the Tianwu City.
Six of these people suddenly appeared at the same time. Furthermore, based on Dugu Wuji's tone, he was not in the same group as these people.
Guo Nan used his sword to cut the black cloth off masked man's face. After observing it carefully for a while, he turned to Nangong Ze and Nangong Tie and asked: ”Have you seen these people before?”
”Nope.”
Nangong Ze and Nangong Tie shook their heads at the same time. They were both unfamiliar faces, and had never seen one before.
”In Tianwu City, a person who has strength at the eighth or ninth level of the Natal Opening Realm to the second or third level of the Guiyuan Realm, it's impossible that he doesn't have any fame at all, right?” Guo Nan asked indifferently.
Nangong Ze said: ”It is indeed impossible, but I have never seen these people before. I can guarantee that they are not from the Eight Great Family s, and even more so not from Royal Family s.”
”There's also not going to be someone from the Maple Leaf Merchant Guild. There's only one possibility.”
Guo Nan thought of their Tianwu Academy Team, the killers he encountered on the way there.
The two killers were people that called themselves Shadow Flow.
”Your Highness, do you know of an organization called Shadow Flow?” Guo Nan asked.
Hearing that, Nangong Ze's face changed slightly: Shadow Flow? You suspect that they are from the Shadow Flow? ”
”It is not suspicion, but certainty. They are all people from that organization. I was assassinated by the Shadow Streamer once, hired by Dugu Wuji. Presumably, these people were also hired by Dugu Wuji to help out. The person you sent to dump the filth on us last night was discovered by Dugu Wuji. He probably sensed that something was going to happen, so he invited the people from the Shadow Flow to come over and serve as a temporary protection umbrella. If not for Grandma Lin, not only would our plan be ruined, it would also bring about a war disaster to the Heavenly Empire. ”
Nangong Ze's face turned serious: ”Nan Shao, Shadow Flow is the biggest assassination organization in Heavenly Empire. They take money and work hard, and do not interact with any other powers. But we can all contact the subordinates of the Shadow Flow. Whoever they want to kill, state their names, ask for the price, and pay them. Those Shadow Flow's spies will report the news to them. ”
”Do you mean that as long as we follow those people, we will be able to find the real Shadow Flow's people?”
”In theory, it's true, but we've tried it a few times and failed in tracking them. Those people are very cunning, and they are well versed in the art of disguising themselves. Once they merge with the crowd, they'll quickly disappear.” Nangong Ze explained.
Guo Nan slightly nodded his head, and said: ”Since it's like this, then there's no need to care about these people.
Guo Nan was worried about the assassination attempts frequently. Although he was confident, there were too many flies, and they would always be annoying.
The six Black Man s looked at Guo Nan coldly, and after Guo Nan finished speaking, one of them said: ”Sir, since you have already guessed our identities and we have not caused you much harm, then let's just ignore everything and leave some traces behind. We'll be able to meet in the future, what say you?”
”Your kneecaps are all broken, can you still walk?” Guo Nan asked indifferently.
”Don't worry, as long as you let us go, Shadow Flow won't accept any more assassination missions from you in the future, how about it?”
”His Highness the Fourth Prince, your Royal Family has never offended anyone from the Royal Family, and has never killed anyone from the Royal Family. You know this very well.”
The Black Man looked at Guo Nan and her, and his gaze finally stopped at Guo Nan.
