Chapter 958

Why must you kill Master Liaokong?

Now, by doing this, you'll become an enemy of the Wu Lin.

Shangguan Haitang saw Liaokong's life swiftly fade, and finally abandoned her futile efforts.

She walked over to Guihai Yidao, who stood frozen in place, speaking with no small concern.

Liaokong wasn't just exceptionally skilled in martial arts; over these years, he had resolved countless troubles for people in the Wu Lin.

Therefore, killing him truly makes you an enemy of the Wu Lin.

Guihai Yidao stared blankly at Liaokong's corpse, then blankly at the single blade in his hand.

Fire Qilin, Jian Jingfeng, Master Liaokong.

This was the rumor of the Jianghu, and also one of the three killers of Guihai Bailian, confirmed by intelligence from the First Manor.

Before "killing" Liaokong, Guihai Yidao had already met Fire Qilin and Jian Jingfeng.

But they both committed suicide in turn.

Now, Liaokong appears to have been killed by me, yet Guihai Yidao knew he too had essentially taken his own life.

So, has my vengeance been satisfied?

751 Miss Zhou, are you heading to Yunzhou Shaolin?

After saying so much, Shangguan Haitang realized Guihai Yidao was still standing there, dazed.

She couldn't help feeling a bit irritated.

But then she remembered Guihai Yidao would become an enemy of the Wu Lin, and her heart grew even more pained and uneasy.

Remembering Liaokong's final words, she suddenly brightened and grabbed Guihai Yidao's hand, saying,

"Yidao, quick! Let's go find Master Lianfan together.

Master Liaokong said that finding Master Lianfan would not only dispel your evil qi.

He could also help you clear your name."

As she spoke, Shangguan Haitang suddenly remembered someone else was nearby.

She turned to look and saw Zhou Zhiruo still standing where she was, not coming closer.

She immediately said to Zhou Zhiruo,

"Miss Zhou, you saw it too.

Though Master Liaokong died by Guihai Yidao's blade, he wasn't truly killed by him.

Please, for the sake of our brief acquaintance, could you refrain from telling anyone?

Once I and Yidao find Master Lianfan, let him restore justice, how?"

Zhou Zhiruo found Shangguan Haitang's earnestness amusing.

She wasn't even a disciple of the Emei Sect, nor was she someone who meddled in others' affairs.

Was Liaokong that famous?

What did it have to do with her?

Zhou Zhiruo had no intention of getting involved; she planned to leave after watching the show.

But seeing Shangguan Haitang so anxious, she felt pity and nodded,

"Alright! Miss Shangguan, don't worry.

I won't tell anyone about what happened here."

Even if I did tell, few of the Jianghu people here would listen to me.

"Thank you so much, Miss."

Shangguan Haitang froze at Zhou Zhiruo's address.

She hadn't expected her hidden identity to be uncovered by Zhou Zhiruo.

Then, hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, her heavy heart lifted.

She immediately bowed from afar in gratitude.

Yet she was both the mistress of the First Manor and the Number One Secret Agent of the Huilong Shanzhuang.

She was a person of extraordinary wit.

Though Zhou Zhiruo had promised her, she still worried Zhou Zhiruo might reveal it.

A thought struck her, and she said to Zhou Zhiruo,

"Miss Zhou, when you came down the mountain, did Master Yeyu give you any instructions?

If so, as the mistress of the First Manor, my information network is quite extensive.

Whatever I know, I will tell you without reservation."

She intended to trade information for Zhou Zhiruo's promise of silence.

Zhou Zhiruo had no intention of speaking out anyway; hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, a thought stirred in her mind.

She had come here completely in the dark.

She didn't recognize Master Yeyu or Master Liaokong at all.

Clearly, the Wu Lin here operated as its own world.

The world was vast; she had no idea where her fellow Emei Sect members had gone or where they were.

If she relied only on herself, finding Tian Xiang Doukou might take years or even decades.

And by chance, she had stumbled into this matter—and Shangguan Haitang was the mistress of the First Manor.

She claimed to have plenty of intelligence.

A thought struck her, and she said,

"Then Miss Zhou Zhiruo thanks you, Mistress Shangguan."

Actually, there is one matter—I was sent by my master to descend the mountain and search for Tian Xiang Doukou.

Lord Shangguan knows where this rare herb is located; I humbly beg your guidance.

Tian Xiang Doukou?

Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but freeze.

She never imagined Zhou Zhiruo had come seeking Tian Xiang Doukou!

As the lord of the world's first manor and the Number One Secret Agent of the Xuan Class in Huilong Shanzhuang.

Zhuge Shenhou was her adoptive father, and the one person she trusted and understood most.

She knew that over these years, Zhuge Shenhou had been searching for Tian Xiang Doukou.

Yet, aside from knowing the location of one, all others had vanished without a trace.

For the sake of Tian Xiang Doukou, her usually refined and elegant adoptive father had lost his temper countless times.

Who would have thought this sudden-appearing girl from Emei Sect was also seeking Tian Xiang Doukou?

She felt something odd, and originally had no intention of revealing the whereabouts of Tian Xiang Doukou.

But then she thought—if she didn't speak, and Zhou Zhiruo went out into the Wu Lin and spread the word.

Even if Benefactor Guihai received help from Master Fayan, he might still struggle to clear his name.

After much hesitation, Shangguan Haitang finally said,

"I don't know what your sect needs Tian Xiang Doukou for.

Funny enough, I happen to know the location of one Tian Xiang Doukou."

"Where?"

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but feel wild joy.

She hadn't expected this mission to be so simple?

She'd just arrived, watched one duel, and now the trail of her task was handed to her?

"Yunzhou Shaolin!"

Shangguan Haitang glanced at the seated corpse of the monk Kongkong nearby, then turned back to Zhou Zhiruo and spoke slowly.

"Yunzhou Shaolin?"

Zhou Zhiruo was taken aback.

Zhou Zhiruo had clearly sensed that the power of the monk Kongkong was no lesser than her own.

In fact, Zhou Zhiruo could not penetrate Kongkong's true cultivation level.

Yet Kongkong himself had said that within Yunzhou Shaolin, there was another Gao Seng named Fayan.

If Master Fayan's strength was not inferior to Kongkong's.
