Chapter 145

"Master..."

Just at this moment, the old butler suddenly walked up to him, his face anxious as he said: "The Ghost has made another move; they have released new information..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingqu's expression instantly turned cold, and he gritted his teeth: "What kind of trick is this Ghost playing now? What new information did they release?"

The butler looked at Zhao Mingqu's gloomy and icy expression, not daring to talk nonsense or hesitate.

He immediately handed a new flyer from his hand to Zhao Mingqu.

And began to recount the contents of the flyer to Zhao Mingqu.

"Master, the Ghost has released information that the person with the severed palm is a Grandmaster expert..."

"Only a person with a severed palm at the Grandmaster Realm is a suspect..."

"Ordinary people, even if they have a severed palm, can quickly be cleared of suspicion."

"Therefore, the method of disrupting the investigation's line of sight by using the palms of countless people in Xianyang City has suddenly become ineffective..."

When the old butler said this, his eyes were full of worry.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingqu looked at the contents of the flyer in his hand, his eyes boiling with killing intent: "This Ghost is truly an endless nuisance. Sooner or later, I will kill him!"

Originally,

the collaborators,

stirring up trouble and disrupting the line of sight was a good method.

But he didn't expect the Ghost to be so simple and crude, directly breaking their method of disrupting the event.

Instantly locking onto the key point of the Grandmaster Realm.

In this way, the suspicion of the vast majority of people will be cleared immediately.

Then,

everyone investigating this matter,

will place the focus of their investigation on the various Grandmaster Realm experts within Xianyang City.

"Master, now the people of the Hundred Schools of Thought are all acting as if they are facing a formidable enemy..."

The butler said again: "The Confucian school, the Daoist school, the Yin-Yang school..."

"These people from the Hundred Schools of Thought have all stepped forward to distance themselves and prove that their Grandmaster experts do not have severed hands..."

Zhao Mingqu heard these words, and a cold sneer flashed deep in his eyes...

"Hmph, these people are moving quite fast..."

Light flickered in Zhao Mingqu's eyes, and he sneered repeatedly in his heart at the behavior of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Distancing themselves?!

They are moving quite fast!

But if something really happens, do they think they can really distance themselves?!

Don't even think about it!!!

If he, Zhao Mingqu, runs into any trouble, none of these people who want to distance themselves will be able to truly get away safely!

"Master, what should we do now?"

When the old butler said this, his gaze couldn't help but glance in the direction of Feng Chen: "Should we avoid the limelight? Send him away secretly?"

Feng Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, remaining silent, but sharp, icy light flashed rapidly in his eyes.

It was unknown what he was thinking.

And Zhao Mingqu, after hearing these words from the butler, fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Zhao Mingqu shook his head slightly, looked at Feng Chen, and then spoke.

"This move is inappropriate."

Zhao Mingqu sneered: "If I send Feng Chen away at this time, it will instead attract the attention of others."

"After all, Feng Chen has been by my side for many years; if he suddenly doesn't appear, it will easily attract the attention of some people..."

"Therefore, the best method at present is to maintain the status quo."

"Immovable as a mountain..."

"Feng Chen just needs to use his sleeve to cover his injured hand while he is by my side."

"With my status, even if some people have suspicions, they won't have the guts to investigate me at will."

Zhao Mingqu's voice was low and powerful, falling into the ears of Feng Chen and the old butler, causing them both to nod slightly.

"The most dangerous place is sometimes often the safest place."

After Feng Chen pondered for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "Master's move is very wise and brilliant."

"Alright, since it's decided, everyone, steady your mindset and don't show any abnormal changes..."

Listening to the flattering words of his subordinates, Zhao Mingqu revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "Just do what you usually do; eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink, don't think so much..."

"Good!"

Feng Chen and the old butler both responded heavily, knowing what to do.

And at this moment, the experts of the Hundred Schools of Thought, who had become chaotic due to the news spread by the Ghost again,

were stepping forward one after another, using various methods to prove themselves.

Although these Hundred Schools of Thought had different intentions and were harboring their own schemes.

But at this time,

everyone understood,

that Ying Zheng was in a towering rage; if anyone were targeted by Ying Zheng at this time, they would definitely not have a good end.

After saying this, the old butler also left to notify the others, preparing to ambush and kill the Ghost.

Inside the Yin-Yang school secret grounds.

The leader of the Yin-Yang school, Donghuang Taiyi, was standing in a pavilion.

In front of him, a disciple stood with his head bowed respectfully.

And in Donghuang Taiyi's hand, he was just holding the latest flyer.

The content on the flyer was indeed the new news spread by the Ghost.

The new news spread by the Ghost directly locked onto an obvious characteristic of the murderer.

Grandmaster Realm!!!

With such an obvious characteristic, the scope of the investigation would shrink significantly.

Previously,

the effect of cutting off the hands of countless commoners to cause chaos and disrupt the direction of the investigation would be greatly reduced.

"Heh..."

A playful, cold sneer flashed in the eyes beneath Donghuang Taiyi's mask: "Interesting, but..."

"What can this do?"

"Do you really think that things can be investigated clearly as you wish?"

"Ghost, remnants of Annan..."

"You are too naive!"

Donghuang Taiyi grabbed with his hand, and the flyer quickly turned into a ball of ash in his hand.

With a casual flick, the ash in his hand scattered.

The eyes beneath Donghuang Taiyi's mask flashed with cold light, staring at the scattering ash, sneering repeatedly in his heart.

Regarding the current situation, Donghuang Taiyi maintained a calm and composed attitude, not panicking in the slightest.

"Pass down the order."

Donghuang Taiyi's gaze fell on the Yin-Yang school disciple standing respectfully in front of him, his voice hoarse and cold: "Let the Grandmaster Realm experts of the Yin-Yang school in Xianyang City show their faces in public immediately..."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's order, the disciple did not dare to have any hesitation and immediately turned to carry it out.

Watching the disciple's departing back, Donghuang Taiyi's eyes were deep; he narrowed them slightly and whispered softly: "Ghost..."

"Who gave you the courage and confidence to dare to uncover the darkness of five years ago?"

"Do you know..."

"What a terrifying force you are about to face?"

A breeze blew, blowing Donghuang Taiyi's cold and hoarse voice away in the wind.
