Wei Liulang arrived. “Brother! I’ll help you!”
He joined the fight.
The white-robed man slashed with his sword and Wei Liulang raised his golden arm to block.
Clang!
The sword was blocked.
The price was that half of Wei Liulang’s body went numb.
Wei Liulang had fought with the sacrificial soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty and Helian Ye, but those people could not paralyze half of his bodies when he had his golden arm.
After a fight, the brothers gathered together.
“How are you?” Ghostfear asked.
Wei Liulang moved his wrist. “I felt numb just now. I’m much better.”
Fortunately, he had this arm. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to block that attack with the saber in his hand.
“Brother, what kind of person is he?”
Ghostfear stared at the other party warily. “I’m not sure. His martial arts techniques are very strange.”
Wei Liulang said, “Is he a sacrificial soldier? The kind that hides very well?”
Ghost Fear said, “No.”
Some sacrificial soldiers could hide their martial arts and make themselves look no different from ordinary people, but such tricks were useless when confronting the king of sacrificial soldiers.
Any disguise of a death warrior was useless against Ghostfear.
However, although this person was not a sacrificial soldier, he had a murderous aura that made him even more terrifying than a sacrificial soldier. It was as if he had come back from the dead and had returned from purgatory.
The white-robed man did not seem to intend to continue entangling with the two brothers.
Ghostfear chased after him and exchanged blows with him.
Not to mention using all his strength, this palm attack wielded at least 70 to 80% internal strength but other party was not injured. Not only that, but he also quickly attacked Wei Liulang.
Ghostfear’s eyebrows twitched. “Be careful!”
This slash was really too fast. Wei Liulang’s body, which had just regained consciousness, could not dodge in time.
Because Ghostfear was on the other side of the white-robed man, it was beyond his reach.
At the critical moment, a strong figure stepped in and blocked the white-robed man’s sword.
Wei Liulang took a closer look and said in surprise, “Su Li?”
The fifth young master of the Su family was only three months older than Su Xiaoxiao.
The man in white looked at Su Li deeply and put away his sword. He tapped the tip of his foot and retreated to the roof behind him. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Su Li exploded. “Hey! Don’t run! I haven’t made a move yet! Come down and fight me if you dare!”
Su Li wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Ghostfear.
Su Li was no match for that person.
“Hey, are the two of you alright?” Su Li asked Ghostfear and Wei Liulang. The Su brothers knew that Wei Ting’s brothers were still alive and had seen them in private.
Wei Liulang said, “I’m fine. Where’s Big Brother?”
“It’s fine.” Ghostfear frowned. “I’ve seen those puppet experts and the a.s.sa.s.sin that night in the Holy Maiden Temple. His skills don’t seem to align with any of them.”
Wei Liulang said suspiciously, “That’s strange. Other than the Holy Maiden Temple and the a.s.sa.s.sin that night, I can’t figure out who else would a.s.sa.s.sinate Father.”
Su Li was stunned. “Father? Have you found Wei Xu?”
Wei Liulang said, “We’ve found him.”
Ghostfear asked Su Li, “Why are you in the southern border too?”
His tone was very similar to Su Mo’s. Most of the elder brothers had a bloodline suppression on their younger brothers.
Su Li subconsciously shrank his neck. “That’s because you guys refused to bring me along. I had no choice but to come myself.”
Ghostfear continued, “When did you enter the capital?”
Su Li answered honestly, “I just arrived today and was about to find an inn to stay when I b.u.mped into the two of you fighting someone.”
Then he cleared his throat.
“You’re not allowed to chase me back. If I hadn’t saved you just now, you would have definitely have been injured!”
What happened just now was strange. As soon as Su Li appeared, that person immediately stopped.
Was that person afraid of Su Li?
However, Su Li’s martial arts skills were not as good as theirs…
Or could it be that the person simply didn’t want to fight them anymore and took the opportunity to escape when Su Li came to stir up trouble?
“Aren’t you going to chase after him?” Su Li asked.
Ghost Fear said, “No, let’s go back first.”
With that person’s qinggong, he could no longer catch up after such a short delay.
After the white-robed man left the alley, he flew over roofs and walls. After walking for half an hour, he was suddenly blocked by a figure.
Wei Ting stood on the roof and looked at him coldly. “Who are you? Why did you a.s.sa.s.sinate my father?”
The man in white did not answer and only looked at Wei Ting indifferently. Wei Ting waved his sword. “Make your move.”
The man in white held the scabbard in his hand tightly, but he did not attack.
The white-robed man took a step back and blocked Wei Ting’s cold sword with the hilt.
Wei Ting flipped in the air and the sword knocked his mask away.
As he hurriedly turned around, his left hand sank and he suddenly struck out!
The tiles on the eaves seemed to have received a huge impact and exploded one by one, all the way to Wei Ting’s feet.
Wei Ting flew up.
While dodging, the person used his qinggong and jumped forward, pa.s.sing through three courtyards and entering the endless crowd on the street.
Wei Ting landed back on the roof and picked up the mask fragment that the white-robed man had dropped. After wrapping it in a handkerchief, he returned to his residence.
Ghostfear, Wei Liulang, and Su Li sat at the stone table in the front courtyard.
Seeing him return, Wei Liulang hurriedly stood up. “Little Seven, where did you go? Didn’t I ask you to wait at home?”
“Sixth Brother, I’m fine.” Wei Ting came to the stone table.
He had followed them all the way and had already seen Su Li. He was not surprised that Su Li had been brought back.
Su Li also guessed that Wei Ting might have seen him.
He put a packet of fragments on the table.
“What is this?” Su Li asked.
“The mask that that person dropped.” Wei Ting quickly put the mask back together. “Big Brother, Sixth Brother, have you seen this mask?”
“Why didn’t you ask me?” Su Li pointed at himself.
Wei Ting said, “You’ve seen it before?”
Su Li shook his head. “No.”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Ghostfear and Wei Liulang shook their heads. They had never seen it either.
Wei Ting pondered and said, ‘When I asked that person why he killed my father just now, his reaction was very calm.”
Su Li was stunned. “Are all killers so calm these days?”
Wei Ting said, “It’s not calm, it’s strange. Other than the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness, very few people know my father’s ident.i.ty. Moreover, my arrival in the Southern Wilderness is a secret. Even the King and the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness will be surprised to hear that Wei Xu’s son is here.”
Wei Liulang was suddenly enlightened. “You mean… not only does that person know Father’s ident.i.ty, but he also knows about us.”
Wei Ting was deep in thought. “That’s my guess.”
As they were talking, the a.s.sa.s.sin came over from the backyard.
He looked at the a.s.sembled mask on the table and felt that it looked familiar. He was about to pick up a piece to test the texture.
At this moment, Yuchi Xiu came over.
He was here to fight with the a.s.sa.s.sin.
He saw the jade mask on the table at a glance.
He gasped and suddenly looked at the killer. “I caught you, right? And you said you didn’t hide the mask! Isn’t this!”
Wei Ting asked, “Do you know him?”
Yuchi Xiu said excitedly, “Of course I know him! The Jade-faced Rakshasa who’s ranked first on the a.s.sa.s.sin rankings! I can recognize his mask even if it turns to dust!”
He pulled out his sword. “Come on! Fight! When I defeat you, I’ll be the number one killer!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin was speechless. Wei Ting said, “The mask isn’t his.”
Yuchi Xiu said righteously, “Lord! You can’t speak up for him just because he’s your second brother’s subordinate!”
Su Li sighed. “It’s really not his. It was left behind by the a.s.sa.s.sin who came to a.s.sa.s.sinate General Wei Xu tonight.”
Yuchi Xiu was stunned. “What? Jade-faced Rakshasa came to a.s.sa.s.sinate General Wei Xu? Impossible.”
Just as they were about to ask why it was impossible, Wei Xu’s door opened.
Wei Xu walked out expressionlessly.
Wei Ting and the others immediately held their breaths.
Su Li was the only one who didn’t understand. She asked, “What happened to General Wei Xu?”
Wei Xu looked at Su Li.
Everyone held their breaths.
Father Wei was sleepwalking again. Whoever was caught would be beaten up.
Su Li, you’re on your own.
Surprisingly, Wei Xu did not beat Su Li up. Instead, he pulled Su Li up, pulled open Wei Ting’s door, and pushed Su Li in.
He pressed Su Li onto the bed and covered him with the blanket.
The general’s pressure was too terrifying, and Su Li did not dare to move at all.
His eyes darted around.
Wei Xu sat down by the bed and gently covered Su Li’s eyes.
Su Li was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
After Su Li fell asleep, Wei Xu returned to his room and lay down.
The few people in the courtyard could finally breathe heavily.
Wei Liulang asked softly, “What was going on just now?”
Ghostfear thought for a moment. “He seems to… regard Su Li as his son.” To be precise, he regarded Su Li as Wei Ting.
Five years ago, when Wei Xu left the capital for the border, Wei Ting was at Su Li’s age.
Back then, Wei Xu was most worried about his 17-year-old son..
