Chapter 253

"Don't thank me yet; you might regret it in a moment."Jiang Sishui cut him off.

Upon hearing this, Duan Fei and the other three were stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Immediately after, the four of them were struck with sudden terror.

Could this person also be here for the secret manual of the Tathagata Divine Palm?!

Jiang Sishui paid them no mind and instead directly used the Soul-Stealing Great Art on the leader, a man in white robes.

"You are from the Qisha Sect, correct?"

"Yes. I am Tian Sha, the Sect Master of the Qisha Sect, and they are the remaining Six Sha."

"Your real name?"

"Feng Zhen."

"What does your Qisha Sect do?"

"An assassin organization."

"Is the item in that wooden box the secret manual of the Tathagata Divine Palm?"

"Yes."

"The secret manual of the Tathagata Divine Palm is something so important, yet only a small sect like the Qisha Sect is fighting for it, as if you alone knew the news. Speak, what is going on?"

"It was He Long."

"Who is He Long?"

"He Long is from the Misty Villa. For the past few months, he has been leading people to search for something in a collapsed ancient tomb in Pingyao. The Qisha Sect discovered this by chance and has been watching them in secret ever since, until they retrieved a wooden box from the tomb."

"Pingyao ancient tomb... wooden box..."Jiang Sishui murmured, having a pretty good idea in his mind.

However, he continued to ask for clarity: "How can you be sure that the Tathagata Divine Palm secret manual is inside this wooden box?"

"I cannot be sure; I am guessing, but it is nine times out of ten."

"Because of the patterns on the wooden box?"

"Yes, those patterns are exclusive to the Evil God of Fire Cloud. And it is said that the Evil God of Fire Cloud's Tathagata Divine Palm was obtained from an ancient tomb back in the day."

Jiang Sishui nodded.

Having confirmed his suspicions and resolved some doubts, he casually sent the seven men in white robes to Guixi.

Seeing him kill people so casually, Duan Fei and the other three felt a chill in their hearts.

Only the woman in black robes still had some confidence, her eyes flickering as she pondered something.

Jiang Sishui paid no attention to the four of them and instead looked up at the forest where the Qisha Sect members had been hiding.

"Come out."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable dominance.

Is there someone else hiding in the dark?

Everyone was stunned and followed Jiang Sishui's gaze.

Unfortunately, there was no movement there; it seemed as if Jiang Sishui was merely being suspicious for no reason.

"If I have to go ask you, you will die."

Jiang Sishui's voice grew even colder.

No sooner had his words ended than the leaves rustled, and a woman in a purple-blue long dress leaped out.

Another Grandmaster!

And even stronger than Tian Sha.

Of course, to Jiang Sishui, there was no difference between the two.

Glancing at the golden mask on the woman's face, he said indifferently, "Name."

????????? Please give flowers??????????

After a moment of silence, a hoarse female voice came from behind the mask: "Bai Jing."

Hmm? Bai Jing?!

Jiang Sishui's indifferent gaze sharpened, and the air around them seemed to freeze along with it.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"Bai Jing? Are you the Palace Master of the Ghost Palace?"Jiang Sishui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bai Jing did not expect such a strong reaction from Jiang Sishui regarding her identity.

Reflecting on the past, she could not recall when she had offended such a powerful figure.

Unable to distinguish friend from foe, Bai Jing hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to admit it.

At that moment, Jiang Sishui had already grown impatient and directly activated the Soul-Stealing Great Art.

"Are you the Palace Master of the Ghost Palace?"

"Yes."

"What is Bai Feifei to you?"

"My daughter."

"Biological or adopted?"

"Adopted."

Hearing the answer he wanted, Jiang Sishui breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Because whether it was Chai Yuguan or Bai Jing, he disliked them very much, even to the point of hostility; if they were Bai Feifei's biological parents, that would truly be a nightmare.

"Why are you here?"

"The Ghost Palace and the Qisha Sect are allies. This time, the Qisha Sect mobilized in force but tried hard to keep it hidden from the Ghost Palace. Upon learning this, I came specifically to investigate."

So that's how it is.

Having clarified what he wanted, Jiang Sishui withdrew his secret art.

The moment the control was lifted, Bai Jing instinctively retreated several steps, staring at Jiang Sishui with eyes full of horror: "You… who exactly are you? Why are you asking about Feifei?"

Jiang Sishui did not hide it either, and said frankly: "I am Feifei's husband."

Husband?!

Bai Jing's gaze flickered through several changes in an instant.

First shock, then anger, followed by delight.

Shocked that Bai Feifei had gotten married without a word to anyone.

Angry that Bai Feifei had been busy with romance, casting her mission out of her mind.

Delighted that the husband Bai Feifei had found was so powerful — there was hope he could avenge her and kill Chai Yuguan!

At this moment, Jiang Sishui added: "Now, there are two matters. Listen carefully."

Bai Jing could not help pricking up her ears, listening with rapt attention.

"First, I know you have a grudge against Chai Yuguan, and I can help you kill him. However, from then on, Feifei will have nothing more to do with you."

After finishing the first point, Jiang Sishui deliberately paused to observe Bai Jing's reaction.

The breathing behind the mask suddenly grew heavy, and Bai Jing asked urgently: "You can really help me kill Chai Yuguan?!"

"Absolutely true."

"Good! I agree!"

Both were frank, straightforward people — one question, one answer, no dragging of feet.

From beginning to end, Bai Jing could be said to have shown not the slightest hesitation.

The only meaning she had in living in this world now was to scheme and plot to kill Chai Yuguan; as long as Chai Yuguan died, she was willing to pay any price!

What was one Bai Feifei, after all?

She had been the tool Bai Jing had cultivated for revenge.

Jiang Sishui naturally saw this point as well, and felt in his heart that it was not worth it for Bai Feifei.

Thinking no more of it, he continued: "Second, hand over your entire Ghost Palace to Feifei to take over."

Unexpectedly, this time Bai Jing did not agree at once, but hesitated.

Hmm?

Seeing this, Jiang Sishui grew suspicious.

Bai Jing could give up Bai Feifei without the slightest scruple — could she actually be unable to let go of a Ghost Palace?
