Why do I have so many masters?

Chapter 127 Perplexed Wang Anfeng (2/2)

Mr. Ying had never bothered with the affairs next to him, only watching the Jade Tome "Heavenly Inquiry" that he had obtained from the outside world.

Although he really didn't know what rumors or past this object had, just from the meaning displayed on it, it was already extremely extraordinary, vast and boundless like the sky dome, encompassing everything. If this kind of charm were refined and polished, it could create an extremely brilliant, vast, and lofty sword move, capable of rivaling the top martial arts in the world.

Wu Changqing paced to the side, looking at this roll of the Jade Tome, and suddenly spoke,

"Sir, what you did in that shop just now, what was it for?"

The Scholar raised an eyebrow, knowing that he was referring to when he left, using blood as ink to write 'Yi Nanping' on the wall, and indolently said,

"Because it's interesting."

Wu Changqing was speechless, feeling that such an answer was indeed worthy of the sir; as for whether this matter would involve Wang Anfeng, he had no worries whatsoever.

Under such circumstances, there were just two choices laid before the world....

"The one who left the traces is definitely not the previously forgetful Yi Nanping!"

In the Stone Hall, the man in white examined the injuries of the person before him, and upon seeing the horror and admiration in his eyes, he made a very certain conclusion.

Yet his brows furrowed even more fiercely.

Gongsun Jing had been his subordinate before becoming a spy, and even Gongsun Jing had recognized the expert who died here; how could he forget this madman who had once left an extremely deep impression with his chain of rapid blades—every midnight dream return would leave him trembling in fear.

In the army, there was a fierce soldier trained in blade work, who had once split a thunderbolt into pieces with thirty-six slashes; the person before him might not match in strength, but concerning speed, not even a Third Rank Grandmaster practicing external lateral training as their fundamental martial arts might surpass him by much.

Yet such a high-speed killing expert had not even been able to draw his saber.

The assailant must have been an Upper Third Rank expert.

Wang Boyang, looking at the traces of admiration beneath the horror in those eyes, made a judgment in his heart, and couldn't help but yearn.

To have made him die with willing admiration, what kind of scenery had he seen, exactly?

How fast was that sword?

He quickly restrained the stray thoughts in his heart, not allowing them to spread wildly, Wang Boyang spoke,

"Gongsun, conduct a search to see if you can find any secret messages connecting to the White Tiger Hall."

"Yes!"

Gongsun Jing, holding a short spear, stepped into the inner chamber, while Wang Boyang, holding a war bow, prepared the arrow on the bowstring, ready for any unexpected events. Although he had sent Gongsun Jing to conduct the search, he held no certainty in the outcome, simply harboring a bit of vain hope.

He again raised his eyes to look at the wall, where the characters danced like dragons and phoenixes, and made a judgment in his heart.

If it wasn't a Jianghu expert using the name Yi Nanping to mislead others, then this Yi Nanping was not the name of one person and one sword, but rather an unemerged Jianghu organization.

And previously, at the spot where the White Tiger Hall warriors were slain.

The Qin cavalry in dark battle armor guarded the area, not allowing others to approach, and a Deputy General had already ridden swiftly on horseback toward the nearest city to report the matter to the Prefectural Governor.

And above this place,

Yu Wenze, dressed in black and red heavy armor, looked down from above.

High above, the gang wind raged on, yet it could not approach within ten feet of him. The armor on his body emitted a faint glow, anchoring him firmly.

This was a masterpiece from the Great Qin Weapon Forging Pavilion, with each part linked by millennium-old gilded threads that intersected at the back, forming a complex array pattern that made the armor whole, unbreakable, and capable of calming winds and repelling fire. Though not quite a divine weapon, it was not far off.

Yu Wenze observed the situation below. With his ocular power, even the night was as clear as day, and he naturally knew that the members of White Tiger Hall trying to escape had been intercepted and surrounded for execution on the spot. The prefectural governor had requested his presence expressly for this purpose—to ensure all members were slain before they could leave. Yet now, it seemed his trip had been in vain.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he did not turn back towards Fufeng County City but instead quickly headed in another direction.

With the skills of an Upper Third Rank grandmaster, he had soon left Fufeng County. When he stopped, he found himself above a tranquil manor, peaceful amidst the night, which in the eyes of Yu Wenze, resembled a dragon coiling and a tiger crouching.

The Number One Manor in the World.

Instead of soaring directly into the manor, Yu Wenze, one of the pillars of the Great Qin State, landed before the vermilion gate. He meticulously adjusted his attire with considerable solemnity before cupping his fists and performing the gesture of a junior, loudly proclaiming:

"Junior Yu Wenze seeks an audience with the Manor Master."

............

Fufeng County City.

Despite the turbulent events of the previous night and the exhaustive efforts of others concerning this matter, for most of the common people within Fufeng County, and, indeed, for all living beings under heaven, the sun rose as usual, and life remained largely undisturbed.

The residents braved the bone-chilling autumn breeze as they washed up and stepped outside, the cold air dispelling their drowsiness as they began their daily routines, accompanied by the rising and falling calls of breakfast vendors, as Fufeng in the Great Qin gradually awoke from slumber.

Inside Wind Character Tower, Wang Anfeng leaned against a bookshelf, flipping through a book of miscellany and travelogues, but his heart wasn't in it.

Suddenly, loud shouts came from outside.

Before he had fully recovered his wits, the door to the Wind Character Tower was flung open. A handsome young man, dressed in white, who was known as the gambler Su, rushed in. He looked around, spotted Wang Anfeng, who was still distracted with the book, and his eyes lit up. He strode over, seized Wang Anfeng's hand excitedly — without lowering his voice, he exclaimed:

"Anfeng, do you know?!"

"That White Tiger Hall, which committed major crimes in our Fufeng, has been completely exterminated, haha!"

"With irrefutable evidence, our Great Qin's iron troops executed them on the spot, leaving no survivors!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Anfeng let out a long sigh of relief, suddenly feeling that the gang leader Gongsun handled matters quite reliably. At that moment, his friend suddenly calmed his excitement, winked at him, and mysteriously said:

"But that's not even the best or biggest news."

Wang Anfeng was momentarily stunned, then asked:

"The biggest and best?"

Smiling, the gambler's lips curled up as he was quite pleased with Wang Anfeng's puzzled expression. Looking at the youth as if sharing in his glory, he spoke deliberately:

"The Fourth Rank expert from White Tiger Hall was instantly killed by Yi Nanping in a duel."

His voice rose with excitement, sounding quite strident in the building. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

Suddenly, a powerful gust swept through. Before the two could react, they were tossed out of the Wind Character Tower like rolling stones, landing on the steps covered in leaves and dust. The ground on this crisp autumn morning was as cold and hard as ice, yet Su Wenchang seemed not to mind; lying on the ground, his pumped heart gradually calmed, and he spread his arms out, laughing heartily, evidently quite thrilled.

Next to him, Wang Anfeng lay, gazing at the deep blue sky, his face full of bewilderment.

What did I just hear?
