That night, everyone had fallen asleep.
A figure came sneaking out of his own courtyard on a small hill.
This figure was no other than Gao Zhuo!
Ever since he had returned from the testing ground today, Gao Zhuo’s entire being had been in a great state of trepidation.
In Gao Zhuo’s mind, that Wang Yao had stayed in the sect, which was like planting a heavy bomb around him!
After thinking about it, Gao Zhuo finally decided that he should tell the clan master about the outbreak of the sword mound during the day and the death of Ji Xian, both of which were related to Wang Yao.
Gao Zhuo had also weighed the benefits and losses in his mind.
As long as he avoided the whole incident, he would still be able to hide it from the public.
He might even be rewarded with a huge reward and even be promoted to the rank of true heir.
This was also the main reason why Gao Zhuo had decided so.
Because he was afraid that if he went to sue during the daytime, he would look too flamboyant, Gao Zhuo even waited until late at night when no one was around before he went there so sneakily.
It could not be helped that the impression that that Wang Yao had left on Gao Zhuo during the daytime was simply too deep.
Gao Zhuo’s heart was not sure about stabbing that kind of person in the back.
After making sure that no one was around, Gao Zhuo made a move to fly towards the Divine Martial Peak.
However, before he could get up, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
“It seems that you couldn’t hold back after all!”
Hearing this voice, Gao Zhuo’s heart could not help but stutter.
He had never thought that even though he had been so secretive, he had still been detected by the other party!
Without any hesitation, Gao Zhuo directly ripped out his voice and shouted into the distant night sky, “Someone come quickly, catch the assassin!
Gao Zhuo knew very well that even if it was late at night, there were still patrolling disciples throughout the Divine Martial Sacred Ground, so as soon as he shouted, those patrolling disciples would definitely arrive immediately!
Gao Zhuo had just shouted out this sentence when a black shadow leapt down from the canopy of a big tree, and directly blasted Gao Zhuo in the chest.
Gao Zhuo was knocked backwards and crashed heavily into the wall behind him, causing it to collapse!
“Are there any last words besides this?”
A figure stepped out of the darkness, with an indescribable coldness on his face.
But this person, however, was not Li Nan, but Song Cang!
“How …… how is it you?!”
Gao Zhuo was stunned.
That voice just now, clearly came from that Wang Yao ah.
But now, the person who walked out, why was it Song Cang?
What Gao Zhuo did not notice was that there was actually a silver needle behind each of Song Cang’s ears!
This is the puppet technique!
When Pan Qing, the Puppet Master, a killer on the Dark List, had attacked Li Nan, he had used this technique.
Now, Li Nan had used this technique on Song Cang’s body!
Not only that, with Lai Nan’s cultivation level at the Immortal Realm, this puppet technique had simply been used by him to the highest level!
In fact, Li Nan had originally wanted to keep a low profile and try not to cause any trouble in this Divine Martial Sect.
He had even planned not to bother with Gao Zhuo Song Cang and the others.
However, it was obvious that these people had no intention of letting Li Nan off the hook!
Fortunately, Li Nan had already been very clear about the nature of these people’s hearts, so he had controlled Song Cang to stay in the mountain in advance and prepared himself.
Since they were going to die, none of them would live!
“That’s right, it’s me.”
Li Nan controlled Song Cang and flashed a smirk at Gao Zhuo.
And at this moment, Gao Zhuo only felt a creepy feeling.
Gao Zhuo was not stupid, and immediately thought of something.
“No, no, you’re not Song Cang, you’re Wang Yao! You’re that Wang Yao!”
Gao Zhuo exclaimed in shock.
Even though he didn’t know how the other party had managed to do it, yet, he was completely certain of this.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Song Cang’s mouth.
“I’ve told you before, you know too much, and it’s not a good thing ……”
As he spoke, Song Cang’s feet slammed down, copied a short knife from his arms, and attacked towards Gao Zhuo.
When he saw his opponent attacking, Gao Zhuo’s face also turned sinister.
At this moment, he knew that the only way he could survive was to fight.
Fortunately, his opponent was only Song Cang.
“Look at the sword!”
As soon as Gao Zhuo’s mind moved, the long sword behind him was immediately offered up and shot directly towards Song Cang’s face.
This sword was condensed with all of Gao Zhuo’s sword intent, and its murderous aura was overwhelming.
However, just as the sword was about to reach Song Cang, Song Cang stepped out abruptly and at the same time, his body stepped to the side.
“Miso…”
The short blade stuck to Gao Zhuo’s flying sword, cutting out a dazzling spark, and even the short blade’s sharp edge was cut out with a huge gaping hole, almost breaking apart.
After all, how could an ordinary short blade possibly match the toughness of a medium-grade ancient sword.
Luckily, under the force of that short blade, the flying sword had also changed its direction and swept right past Song Cang’s ear, cutting a huge gaping hole in his ear.
However, as a puppet, Song Cang naturally did not feel any pain.
After deflecting Gao Zhuo’s flying sword, Song Cang took a step forward and arrived directly in front of Gao Zhuo.
“Not good!”
Gao Zhuo cried out in alarm.
With a thought, he immediately reversed the direction of the flying sword and was about to attack Song Cang’s back again.
However, Song Cang’s speed was faster than imagination.
Without waiting for the flying sword to strike again, the short blade in Song Cang’s hand swept across Gao Zhuo’s neck.
“Poof ……”
There was a muffled sound.
Gao Zhuo’s throat was directly severed, and scarlet blood immediately shot out.
“Ooooooooo ……”
Gao Zhuo’s eyes were filled with resignation, he didn’t expect that he would end up dying at Song Cang’s hands!
And at the same time.
“What are you doing, stop it!”
Not far away in the air, there was an angry shout.
It turned out to be the dozen or so disciples who were responsible for patrolling the area, who had arrived first after hearing Gao Zhuo’s earlier shout.
It was just a pity that they were still a step too slow.
Their side had only just arrived at the place when they saw the scene of Gao Zhuo being killed.
Almost at the same time.
“Pfft!”
There was another muffled sound.
Gao Zhuo’s redirected flying sword had also gone straight through Song Cang’s back heart, killing him in one blow!
These two people, who were originally a group, had ended up dying separately at each other’s hands.
The patrolling disciples who saw this scene all had astonished faces at this moment.
They too had not expected that such a self-inflicted killing would happen in this sect.
“Quickly go and inform the sect master!”
A patrolling disciple directly flew off to the Divine Martial Peak, while several other disciples, on the other hand, stayed behind to guard the scene.
Only none of them noticed that it was only at this point that Song Cang, who had long since died, finally closed his eyes.
Two silver needles, forced out from his while back by the last trace of true qi, flew straight to the grass a few dozen metres away, destined never to be discovered.
Only after this was done, in the courtyard room a few kilometres away, did Li Nan finally open his eyes.
He was still relatively satisfied with his actions this evening.
After these two dangers were removed, he would be safer in this sect.
Thinking of this, Li Nan was finally able to sleep in peace.
That night, the deaths of Gao Zhuo and Song Cang caused a lot of commotion in the clan.
Gao Zhuo was at least an inner disciple and had some influence in the clan.
To say that an inner disciple had been killed by a newcomer who hadn’t even passed the test was, to say the least, a bit unjustifiable.
However, all this was seen by the patrolling disciples with their own eyes and could not be faked, so no one raised any suspicion.
Moreover, after a night of investigation, the crowd also found out that Gao Zhuo had used his status to open a back door for Song Cang.
This time, there was also an explanation as to why Song Cang had killed Gao Zhuo.
After receiving the money, Gao Zhuo did not work for Song Cang, which is why he incurred Song Cang’s hatred to the extent that he killed Gao Zhuo.
The whole thing was not too glamorous, so Yuwen Gu Xue ordered that the matter should not be announced to the public, and so it was left untouched.
Lai Nan was not very clear about these matters, except that the next day he did not hear any news about Gao Zhuo’s murder, which was a bit surprising to him.
Early the next morning, Li Nan was called to gather in the courtyard, along with those other disciples.
The one in charge of this place was an inner disciple named Ni Zhen.
Today was the first day of initiation, so apart from explaining the daily things that needed to be taken care of, there was also an important matter, that was to arrange the affairs for all the new disciples!
As there were no outsiders in the sect, the disciples themselves had to do all the big and small affairs within the sect.
To be more precise, all those miscellaneous affairs were basically done by the new disciples!
Afterwards, Ni Zhen began to arrange affairs for the crowd in turn.
These affairs ranged from the cooks in the dining hall, to the small workers at the laundry, and even the cleaning staff who were responsible for cleaning up.
These disciples were, to put it mildly, all official disciples of the Divine Martial Sword Sect, and when they went outside, they were all of extremely high status and dignified.
However, in this sect, they could only do these miscellaneous things first.
If they wanted to get away, they would have to wait until the next class of new disciples came up.
This had also become an unwritten rule in the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
Soon, it was Li Nan’s turn to collect his job.
When Ni Zhen looked at Li Nan in front of him, he could not help but frown slightly, as if he thought something looked familiar.
A disciple beside him whispered in Ni Zhen’s ear, and Ni Zhen was suddenly enlightened.
“So it’s you!”
