Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2591 The real murderer

In the silent space, Ying Baoyue and Ji Mo stood face to face in silence.

It is no exaggeration to say that they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Eight years ago, you should have been the person who saw the murderer for the last time."

Ji Mo took a deep breath, "If you don't remember, who else can remember?"

"It's just this memory, and I can't remember it at all."

Ying Baoyue frowned, "It seems that I won't remember it easily."

The memory of the murder in her previous life has never been restored, but the more she is prevented from remembering it, the more it proves that she saw the real murderer with her own eyes.

The man who wanted to set up a trap to hunt down Lin Shubai eight years ago is the real culprit of all the incidents.

"What intelligence did you receive eight years ago?"

Since he had already talked it over with Ji Mo, Ying Baoyue simply asked directly, "What exactly is it in that secret letter that Master can't know?"

She didn't think that Ji Moyuan in Nanchu could find any clues about the situation that even Lin Shubai didn't notice back then.

"I received that news by accident," Ji Mo knew what Ying Baoyue was suspecting. "Back then, there was a distant relative of a minor figure in the Ji family's intelligence network. He joined the Black Tiger Army and later went to Xirong as a secret agent."

Hidden stakes?

Hearing this word, Ying Baoyue's nerves jumped sensitively.

Ying Baoyue raised his eyebrows, "Wait, you put a spy in Master's team?"

"Is there any problem?" Ji Mo asked expressionlessly.

Ying Baoyue was speechless. It was not surprising that Ji Mo wanted to insert spies into the Black Tiger Army, but he did not expect that he would succeed. It was estimated that Ji Mo had worked hard for many years to insert a marginal figure.

"What happened to that distant relative?"

Ying Baoyue frowned, "Secret agents cannot contact their relatives."

"You can understand it as him being careless," Ji Mo said calmly, "Originally, the elders came to me for help after they committed a crime, and I secretly stuffed them into the Black Tiger Army."

"So what happened to this guy?"

"He had been in contact with the Ji family through secret codes, but one day eight years ago, they suddenly lost contact."

Ying Baoyue frowned, "You mean..."

"The secret agents always communicated one-way through secret codes. This person suddenly lost contact, which means that someone arbitrarily modified the secret code for communicating with the secret agents without Shu Bai's knowledge."

"Someone has attacked Xirong's secret agent."

Ying Baoyue couldn't help but remain silent.

She recalled the information she had gotten from Baili Celing when she met him in Xirong.

Xirong Hidden Stakes were the most secretive force, and were once members of the Black Tiger Army. If someone attacked Xirong Hidden Stakes, it meant that someone wanted to quietly strip away the power that protected the Master.

"The Black Tiger Army did a really good job of keeping secrets, and I ultimately didn't find out anything, so I focused my investigation on the imperial court."

The loss of contact with the secret agent may also be caused by the sudden death of the secret agent, but this news sent an ominous signal to Ji Mo.

"Ever since your accident, the attacks on Shu Bai have never stopped in the court."

Ying Baoyue's breathing became rapid. Just as Ji Mo said, Lin Shubai's achievements were so great that she was feared by the emperor and she was also a female cultivator. There were already many opposing forces against her in the court.

Before she got into trouble, her master had almost never made a mistake in his life. In addition, he was trusted by Emperor Ying, so he suppressed the voices of opposition in the court.

After her failed assassination attempt on Ying Hao and her retirement, the opposition in the court took the opportunity to attack and accused Lin Shubai of not teaching his disciples strictly. Some even said that Lin Shubai wanted to overthrow the Qin royal family, which was why he let his apprentice seduce the eldest prince, causing Qin to lose its heir.

Amidst the overwhelming criticism, Lin Shubai was forced to lose a lot of power, including military power and many powers as the national teacher.

"It's my fault that these people tore open a hole in Master."

"It's not just your fault," Ji Mo narrowed his eyes, "If it weren't for that person's support, do you think Shu Bai would really be suppressed to that point?"

Lin Baoyue is just Lin Shubai's knife, and her backing originally has someone else.

"that person……"

I don’t know if it’s because of the stab in the chest, but Ying Baoyue just felt so suffocated that he couldn’t speak.

She bent down deeply, then raised her head, "Is this really possible?"

Could it be possible that the murderer, who they had no clue about, was still alive?

"That person didn't leave any clues, but there is one thing he would never give up." Ji Mo looked at Ying Baoyue solemnly, "The Tai'a Sword."

"That day seven years ago, Xu Canghai and I were both there, but neither of us found the Tai'a Sword."

Ji Mo gritted his teeth, and it seemed like he was having a hard time finishing his words.

Ying Baoyue became nervous, she knew that Ji Mo was talking about the day when Lin Shubai turned into a spirit wall.

"Didn't you two miss it?"

Ji Mo's Adam's apple moved, "Yes, we didn't catch up."

"I'm late."

Every word of this sentence seemed to be soaked with endless blood and tears, and Ying Baoyue didn't dare to ask any further.

She now believed that Ji Mo had nothing to do with Lin Shubai's death seven years ago. If someone wanted to kill Lin Shubai, they would definitely have moved Ji Mo and Xu Canghai away in advance. It was normal that they were delayed by something and could not arrive in time.

“I didn’t catch it, but I saw it.”

He just happened to see the scene where Lin Shubai fell from the Great Wall and his flesh and blood turned into a spiritual wall.

It was a scene that he never wanted to recall in his life but which repeated itself countless times in his dreams.

Noticing that Ji Mo's aura was a little unusual, Ying Baoyue threw a few drops of water at Ji Mo's forehead, "Calm down."

Ji Mo forced himself to suppress his emotions, and his tone returned to being cold, "I saw with my own eyes that Tai'a slipped from her hand and fell under the city wall, but when Xu Canghai and I went to look for it, we couldn't find it."

Ying Baoyue frowned, "Was it picked up by someone?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that it was impossible. That was the Taia Sword, not some scrap metal. Just talking about the sword energy, few practitioners could suppress it.

"Although we were both in a trance for a while, we both immediately started looking for the Tai'a Sword in less than a quarter of an hour."

"But the sword disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace, not even a trace left."

Ying Baoyue's heart tightened.

"The scabbard of the Tai'a Sword is in your hand now, right?"

Ying Baoyue nodded, "Master entrusted the scabbard to Lin Wangong before the accident."

"So someone took the sword away quietly without the scabbard."

The Tai'a Sword is the sword of a human god. Lin Shubai has defeated countless opponents with it. The blood and murderous aura on the sword are no longer the same as when Lin Shubai brought it out of Nanchu.

Ji Mo stared deeply into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "Do you think there is anyone else in this world who can suppress the aura of that sword without a scabbard?"

The blood in Ying Baoyue's body turned cold.

In her past and present lives, she only knew one person.

Although this person's realm is not the highest, he is proficient in formations and the way of cultivation, and he has even served as a secret agent in Xirong.

Ying Baoyue recalled the sword that Chunyu Ye had drawn in the snow cave that he had seen in a bag when he was a child, and his head suddenly split with pain.

Countless images intertwined in her mind.

"It's him……"

A vague sound escaped from her lips, "It can only be him."

"He's not dead, he's still alive."

"I didn't expect he was still alive," Ji Mo's chest rose and fell, "but whether dead or alive, only he can do it..."

"he……"

Before Ji Mo could finish his words, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.

"what happened?"

Ji Mo was stunned. This was his little world. How could it suddenly show signs of collapse without his permission?

"Something happened outside!"

Ying Baoyue raised his head suddenly. "Earthquake?"
