236 B.C., Qin Country's capital, Xianyang.
"Your Majesty, the Strange Blade has arrived at the Heavenly Sect.”
In a magnificent palace, a handsome young man with the appearance of an emperor sat on the throne and was constantly flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand.
The person who spoke below the stage had a head of demonic red hair and pale skin. He looked very demonic and very young.
"Zhao Gao."
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand and rubbed his sore head. It was nothing to be tired for the great cause of the empire.
"How's the plan for the establishment of the network going?”
"Li Si, the dean of the Supreme Court, is fully responsible for the establishment of the network.”
(Li Si wasn't the Prime Minister yet, he was only the Chief Justice.)
Zhao Gao said respectfully to Ying Zheng, his tone calm.
"Zhao Gao doesn't have the authority to interfere with the affairs of the network, so he doesn't know.”
"This king is confused."
It was unclear whether he was mocking himself or hinting at Zhao Gao, but Ying Zheng chuckled and continued.
"Has the Strange Blade arrived at the Heaven Sect?”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Gui Ren was the candidate selected by the Network with great potential. This task was a test for him by the chief justice.”
"This King is looking forward to it."
Ying Zheng straightened his body and walked straight out of the palace.
"The plan of the Network cannot be lost. Zhao Gao, I will definitely hand the Network over to you in the future!”
"Zhao Gao is terrified."
A barely noticeable bloodthirsty cold light flashed in his deep eyes, but Zhao Gao hid it well. He was still too far away at this time. He needed more time.

Daoist Heaven Sect.
"Hmm?"
Yu Xi was woken up by a loud thunder in his sleep. Why did he feel uneasy? It was as if something was about to happen.
"Strange.“
After being woken up by the thunder, Yu Xi felt a little flustered. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He looked at Xiao Fei, who was still sleeping soundly beside him. Yu Xi put on his clothes and tiptoed out of the door. Since he couldn't sleep, he would go out for a walk.
"Ta…Ta…"
The sound of the drizzle and footsteps were particularly abrupt under the quiet night sky. Yu Xi walked aimlessly in the inner part of the Heaven Sect. He had to admit that Taoism was indeed a large sect with hundreds of years of history. Just the Heaven Sect alone was so big. (I don't know if the Human Sect and the Heaven Sect are still together here, but I set it to not be together, but it's still very close. It feels strange to be together.)
"Brother Host, there are people approaching you.”
Just as Yu Xi was strolling around in boredom, Xiao Ling suddenly reminded him that there was someone else around.
"What?"
Yu Xi looked around in surprise. He didn't seem to see anyone else around. It was already so late, but there was still someone who couldn't sleep and was wandering around like him?
"Hmm?"
After looking around, Yu Xi finally saw the person that Xiao Ling had mentioned, who was wandering around at night like him. However, he felt that something was not right.
The raindrops blurred Yu Xi's vision, so he could only vaguely see that the person walking toward him seemed to be wearing a long robe. What was most eye-catching was the object emitting a pale white light at his waist.
That was... Blade?
"Sou!"
The figure suddenly disappeared when he was still about 20 meters away from Yu Xi. Yu Xi only felt the sound of air being torn and he subconsciously lowered his body. A strand of his hair had been cut off and fell to the ground with the wind.
"F * ck!"
He couldn't help but curse. At the same time, cold sweat dripped down. He almost died just now. What kind of path did this guy take? Why did he kill him right away? I don't think I know him, right?
Yu Xi was extremely angry and aggrieved. He had not provoked anyone, so why did someone want to kill him?
However, he did not know that the shock in Gui Ren's heart was even greater than his. He had accepted the order of the empire to come to the Heaven Sect to take a person's life. He had originally wanted to kill this child when he saw him, but he did not expect this four-year-old child to be able to escape his sudden attack.
"It should be a coincidence…"
Sly Blade could only console himself in this way. After all, how could a four-year-old child have the ability to dodge his attack? It should just be a coincidence.
"Analyzing this person's information, Xiao Ling!”
At this moment, Yu Xi felt his heart skip a beat. This was the first time he felt so strongly that someone wanted to kill him. Who was this person?
" Alright, Brother Host."
Xiao Ling also felt the hidden killing intent from the person in front of her. This person was much stronger than her host brother.

"F * ck..."
Yu Xi could not help but gulp when he saw the person's information. Help! This guy was actually so strong!
