In the Square Inn.
Xue Antian woke up early in the morning and was completely unaware of it. When he went to Qin Shuang's bedroom and found the corpse and traces of a fight, Xue Antian finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Boss Snow, there's nothing here."
"We haven't found Young Master Shuang either.”
" There's nothing in the east and south."
After receiving the information from his subordinates, Xue Antian, who was in a hurry, could not help but pull out the saber in his hand.
"What should we do? What should he do? Young Master Shuang was assassinated and we can't even find his body. How am I supposed to explain this to the Sect Leader? Young Master Shuang, it was Xue Antian who failed to protect his master. Now, he can only die to atone for his sins…"
As he spoke, Xue Antian held his saber and tried to slash at his own body.
Seeing that Xue Antian was about to commit suicide, Qin Shuang, who had already arrived outside the door, was so shocked that she reminded him in time,""Boss Xue, stop!"
As the voice drifted, Qin Shuang used her qinggong to quickly arrive at the courtyard.
Seeing that Qin Shuang was safe and sound, Xue Antian shouted excitedly,""Young Master Shuang, this subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me.”
If Qin Shuang had not appeared in time, Xue Antian would not have just had a bloody scar on his body, but would have died long ago.
Even if Qin Shuang died, Xue Antian had a second choice, which was to escape alone and wander the world.
However, Xue Antian did not do so because he had already regarded Qin Shuang as his master.
"Boss Xue, is that corpse still there?”
"Yes, in the backyard."
"Did you find anything?"
"Young Master Shuang, according to my guess, this person should be from the East Ocean Island. The hidden weapons he carries should be the blades commonly used by Japanese ninjas.”
Hearing Xue Antian mention his identity as a ninja, Qin Shuang secretly praised him.
The most logical explanation for the appearance of these Japanese ninjas was: "Godless 'scouts have already entered the vicinity of the World Association.”
This was the first and most important piece of information.
Secondly, Qin Shuang had never interacted with the Japanese ninjas before, let alone had any grudges against them. Hence, these ninjas were all sent by Chu Peng. From this, it could be inferred that the City Lord of Liang, Chu Xiong, had been bribed by Godless.”
After a while, he passed by Qin Shuang's bedroom.
Initially, Xue Antian had suggested that Qin Shuang should leave Liang City as soon as possible or stay in the City Lord's Mansion with her real identity. However, Qin Shuang did not agree and decided to stay in the Square Inn.
"Boss Xue, let me introduce you. This is the adopted sister I took in yesterday, Xue 'er. In the future, you can call her Young Lady Xue.”
"Yes, I am. This subordinate greets Young Lady Xue."
Ji Ruxue only nodded in acknowledgment of Xue Antian's greeting and did not say anything else.
Qin Shuang didn't say much about this.
"Boss Xue, where is Zhi Tanhua now?”
"Reporting to Young Master Shuang, I have sent a messenger pigeon. They are probably on their way back to Liang City.”
"Outside of Liang City, does the World Association have any secret branches?”
"Young Master Shuang, this subordinate is not very clear about this, but I think there is. Otherwise, Zhi Tanhua and the others would not be able to completely hide their tracks. Young Master Shuang, you are?"
"Hmm? I think the Liang City Lord Chu Xiong has already betrayed Master. I think he is colluding with the Japanese. Yesterday, I heard the assassin mention the Wu Jue Divine Palace and the palace master, Jue Wu Shen. I think they are secretly plotting something against the World Association, so I want to find an opportunity to eliminate them.”
Qin Shuang's words were half true and half false.
Xue Antian was shocked by Qin Shuang's words. Ji Ruxue, who had been standing quietly at the side, was also shocked.
"How did he know about Wu Jue Divine Palace and Jue Wu God? Could it be that Master had revealed it to him beforehand? No, Master would never do that. Now, it seemed that all of this was his guess and deduction. However, wasn't this guess too accurate?”
Ji Ruxue said in her heart.
It was only at this moment that Ji Ruxue started to take Qin Shuang seriously.
"Godless? Hmm?"
"Boss Snow, do you know who Godless is?”
"Young Master Shuang, I think I've seen this person before…"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Young Master Shuang, it has been years since this incident. Three years ago, when I was working for the Sect Leader, I accidentally encountered two peerless experts fighting in a bamboo forest. At that time, I heard one of their guards mention Godless. That battle was earth-shattering. Although I didn't see the people fighting with my own eyes, the sword qi and killing intent they released made me tremble with fear…"
It turned out that Xue Antian had met Godless by chance and fought with Nameless, but he had no chance to witness it with his own eyes.
Godless had indeed come to the Central Plains, and he had indeed fought a decisive battle with Nameless.
Godless had lost the final battle, which was the main reason why Godless didn't invade the Divine Great Land until several years later.
"Boss Xue, immediately send a pigeon to inform Zhi Tanhua. Tell him that the Lord of Liang has colluded with the Japanese to betray the World Association. Tell him to secretly gather a group of elites to infiltrate Liang City. In addition, find two smart people to secretly monitor the City Lord's Mansion. If Chu Xiong or Chu Peng make any moves, report to me immediately.”
"Yes, this subordinate will go and confirm it now."
Originally, Qin Shuang had never thought of becoming enemies with Chu Xiong. After all, he was the City Lord that Xiong Ba had personally sent and appointed.
But now, Chu Xiong had colluded with the Japanese ninjas to betray the World Association. This alone was enough to sentence him to death.
Of course, completing the random mission issued by the Martial God System was also one of his goals.
In addition, Qin Shuang disliked Wu Jue Divine Palace and Jue Wu Shen."As long as the world exists, Godless and the others will never touch the Divine Great Land.”
