"Descendants of Zhuanxu, during the grand gathering of the Hundred Schools, must be in Jiangcheng..."

Ying Wuji smacked his lips, feeling that something was off.

He glanced up at Jiang Taiyuan and saw that he was also looking at him with a smile that wasn't really a smile. He couldn't help but curse, "Why the hell are you staring at me? There are so many descendants of Zhuanxu. The Ying clan has fourteen branches, and the Mi clan has over twenty branches. Which one of them isn't a descendant of Zhuanxu? The Li Kingdom is the old nest of the Zhao clan, and even Xiang Ding is more reliable than me, damn it."

"That's true," Jiang Taiyuan chuckled, not continuing to discuss this matter as the Swordbearer. It seemed like he was just joking around.

However, Ying Wuji felt that something was not quite right. Jiang Taiyuan didn't mention this matter at all when Zhai Yun was present, but he brought it up after he left. And with the inexplicable help from the Yang clan, could it be that they had discovered something about him?

Damn it!

I admit that I have a grudge, but I really have no interest in Zhou Tianzi!

Ying Wuji felt a bit annoyed, but he was even more curious about the details of this matter. "Are they making a big deal out of nothing? And that divination official, how can he be so accurate, it's like he's trying to scare people!"

Jiang Taiyuan grinned, "Who knows! But I've heard that this person from the Yin-Yang School is extremely mysterious!"

"I see!"

"Indeed!"

"But I think Nangong Ling might have to make a wasted trip. There are so many descendants of Zhuanxu in Jiangcheng, how can he find the right one?"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Jiang Taiyuan smirked, "Didn't they say that during this grand gathering of the Hundred Schools, the military will provide a surge of energy? Now that Nangong Ling has come, he has privately brought three surges of energy, all hidden in the Tomb of the Chaotic Thieves. When the time comes, everyone will be able to enter and fight for them."

"The Tomb of the Chaotic Thieves? What is that?"

"It's the place where Nangong Tuoyi defended against the joint forces of the lords, leaving behind tens of thousands of soldiers' corpses. The palace is already in ruins, and it's just the right time to build a new palace. Nangong Tuoyi invited a few friends who have reached the Enlightened Spirit Realm to turn the ruins of the old palace into a treasure. It is rumored that Nangong Tuoyi's inheritance is hidden here, and the Nangong family can control the formation of soldiers from generation to generation because of this treasure."

"Wow... This thing seems more interesting than arguing with the Confucianists and Mohists!"

"Of course! In any case, with so many benefits at stake, not to mention the grand gathering of the Hundred Schools, even the literary gathering is bound to be quite bloody!"

Ying Wuji fell into deep thought. He had no grudges or grievances, so he definitely didn't want to kill Zhou Tianzi. Naturally, he felt that the person wasn't him. And as for the Sword of the Merchant King, he had no interest in it at all.

But Jiang Taiyuan's behavior made him feel uneasy. It was best to handle this matter cautiously.

The four surges of energy from the military were similar, and Nangong Tuoyi's inheritance was even more tempting, but his own life was more precious.

As long as he didn't stand out, he would be fine. Zhou Tianzi's position was high, but the decline of the Zhou royal family was an undeniable fact. Whether it was the Ying clan of the Qian Kingdom, the Zhao clan of the Li Kingdom, or the numerous noble Mi clans of the Chu Kingdom, they were not easy to provoke for the Zhou royal family.

However, he still felt that something was not right. "By the way, Jiang ge, Zhou Tianzi's dream should be top secret. How did you know about it?"

"Well, um, haha..."

Jiang Taiyuan scratched his head and awkwardly laughed twice, not answering this question. "Let's not talk about this matter. I think there's another matter that you're definitely more interested in."

Ying Wuji slapped his thigh. "You finally got to the point. Where is the killer?"

Jiang Taiyuan finished the remaining wine in his bowl and stood up directly. "Follow me!"

...

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at the Shangmo Bookstore.

It was lunchtime, so the bookstore was temporarily closed. Except for the gatekeeper, everyone else had gone to eat, including Hua Chao, who was busy with the theater troupe.

The two of them made their way to the backyard, and Jiang Taiyuan asked, "Which one is your room?"

Ying Wuji pointed in a direction. "Jiang ge, this is..."

"Hush!"

Jiang Taiyuan made a gesture for silence. "Follow me into the room!"@@novelbin@@

Ying Wuji: "..."

Jiang Taiyuan became a bit impatient and pulled Ying Wuji into the room. Then he quickly closed the doors and windows and took out a black cloth from his bag to cover the window. In an instant, the room was almost completely dark.

Ying Wuji felt a bit panicked.

Damn it, could it be that Jiang Taiyuan...

This guy is obviously a big shot who has already broken through to the Embryonic Shedding Realm, and his Spiritual Embryo Grade is not low. I'm no match for him at all, damn it...

At this moment, the room suddenly brightened.

Jiang Taiyuan extinguished the match in his hand, and in front of him, a pale white candle was already lit. The light emitted by the candle was also pale white, very bright but seemingly without any warmth.

He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in front of the candle. Suddenly, a dim yellow shadow appeared on the wall.

Ying Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and then looked towards the shadow. There didn't seem to be anything unusual about it, except for a black dot. But... this black dot was moving.

It swayed and gradually grew larger, from a dot to a blot.

The blot grew bigger and gradually took shape. When it grew to the size of half a palm, its true appearance could finally be seen.
