Jueying slowly sheathed his sword.

Seeing Gao Jianli unconscious due to serious injuries, he first gathered up the umbrella on the ground, and then carried Gao Jianli's body, preparing to return to Yan Chunjun's residence.

Since Xue Nu cares so much about Gao Jianli, she is even willing to distance herself from him in order to protect him.

He certainly couldn't let the Snow Maiden's kindness go to waste.

Therefore, after bringing Gao Jianli back to Yan Chunjun's residence, he decided to give Gao Jianli's umbrella to Xue Nu as a gift. If Xue Nu was a smart person, she would surely understand what this meant.

Just as Jueying was thinking this.

A figure dressed in white blocked his path.

As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," there are always some sixth men in this world who like to hide at the very back.

Just as Jueying was hiding in the shadows, watching the conversation between Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, this person in white was also hiding in the shadows, observing the battle between Jueying and Gao Jianli.

It was called a battle, but it was really just that Gao Jianli didn't have time to react and was instantly killed.

So, Gao Jianli is really weak.

At the beginning of the story in the original novel, Gao Jianli's strength was just so-so, about the same as Bai Feng of Liusha. At the current stage, Gao Jianli will only be weaker.

It should be noted that Jueying's strength is not very high.

Within the Luo Wang organization, there are eight levels: Heavenly Killer, Earthly Destroyer, Demons and Monsters. Jueying, as his name suggests, is a Jue-level assassin within the Luo Wang organization. Although he is not a nobody, he is just so-so.

And what happened? Gao Jianli couldn't even beat him.

This shows how weak Gao Jianli was.

But after all, he's an artist, so it's understandable. His true strength lies in his mastery of music.

"who are you?"

After the other party appeared, Jueying felt a faint aura locking onto him, so he naturally dared not assume that the other party was just a passerby, and immediately asked the other party in a cold voice.

The figure dressed in white did not answer Jueying's question.

Jueying's expression turned solemn. He immediately put down Gao Jianli, whom he was carrying, and then drew his sword. Without saying a word, he launched an attack on the person in front of him.

His sword was fast and sharp.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to defeat Gao Jianli in one blow.

However, when facing someone with such a sword, the opponent simply raised their hand slightly.

The sword in Jueying's hand shattered inch by inch. It was, after all, just an ordinary sword, but even an ordinary sword shouldn't be shattered so instantly. Jueying was horrified and filled with inexplicable shock. Then, as if struck by a devastating blow, his consciousness, like Gao Jianli's, vanished...

Jueying collapsed to the ground and fainted.

The one who made the move, Jiang Chuan, glanced at Gao Jianli and couldn't help but shake his head, "He's really bad!"

Then, his gaze fell on Jueying.

After becoming a Grandmaster, Jiang Chuan looked around the world and was considered a rare expert. Although there were still powerful figures of the Celestial level such as Donghuang Taiyi and Beimingzi, there were only a few of them.

Even the strongest individuals who can stand alone are merely grandmasters.

There were very few great masters among the various schools of thought during the Hundred Schools of Thought period.

If it weren't for the appearance of Donghuang Taiyi in Xinzheng in the past, which brought Jiang Chuan a great sense of crisis, with his current strength, he would be able to roam the world without any scruples.

Of course, that was when he was facing Donghuang Taiyi. Now, when facing Jueying, Jiang Chuan could kill him instantly with a single casual strike.

It should be noted that within the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), even the highest-ranking member is only a Grandmaster.

There is an extremely long distance between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster.

Jiang Chuan squatted down and touched Jueying's brow with his finger. The witchcraft of Shu Mountain and the illusion techniques he had learned were mixed together, and the memories belonging to 0.5 Jueying were immediately read by him.

As he knew, Jueying was an assassin from the Luo Wang organization. He was sent by the Luo Wang organization to Yan Chunjun's side and quickly gained Yan Chunjun's trust. Yan Chunjun also knew that Jueying's identity was extraordinary and that he had done a lot for him over the years by relying on the power of the Luo Wang organization.

Because he had been by Yan Chunjun's side for many years, Jueying had never changed his name, but in reality, his level in the Luo Wang had long since been raised to the Killer level.

"Absolute" was his initial rank.

"No wonder. I was wondering why you were so bad, unable to even beat someone at the 'Absolute' level. Turns out the opponent was actually at the 'Kill' level."

Jiang Chuan glanced at Gao Jianli again.

"However, you're still not strong!"

Chapter 270: Changing the sky and changing the day

After further belittling Gao Jianli, Jiang Chuan quickly read Jueying's memories. Once he had read enough, he decisively ended Jueying's life.

Afterwards, he took out a small bottle from his bosom and poured the contents of the bottle onto Jueying's body. Jueying's corpse immediately turned into putrid liquid and disappeared.

Corpse-dissolving water is an essential item for destroying evidence of a corpse, and it is quite useful for Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan channeled his power, and flames erupted, completely destroying Jueying's clothes and all traces left behind. Then, he used his exquisite disguise technique. His form changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Jueying appeared again, but this Jueying was actually Jiang Chuan in disguise.

He bent down, scooped up Gao Jianli, and, holding the umbrella, headed towards the residence of Lord Yanchun.

Inside the residence of Lord Yanchun, Lord Yanchun was drinking wine while being served by beautiful women. For some reason, upon seeing him, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think of Ji Wuye. No matter how you looked at it, Lord Yanchun resembled Ji Wuye very much.

They were equally lustful and equally powerful.

Moreover, they were all ugly and obese people.

Of course, there is one difference: Ji Wuye is stronger than Yan Chunjun.

Because Jiang Chuan read Jueying's memories from his mind, and because he had also impersonated Bai Yifei and become a general of the Korean state in the past, his acting skills were definitely up to par.

He brought Gao Jianli to Lord Yanchun.

"Your Majesty."

Jueying is a member of the Luo Wang organization with an extraordinary background. Yan Chunjun knew this, but he still chose to give Jueying an important position and to seek help from a powerful figure. This was because he had gained many benefits from the Luo Wang organization over the years. The Luo Wang organization was too useful, and he was reluctant to give it up.

Even if the Luo Wang is a force of Qin, so what?

The State of Yan and the State of Qin were far apart, with the vast State of Zhao in between, and Qin posed no threat to the State of Yan.

In fact, the Qin state even took the initiative to send Cai Ze to the Yan state to serve as prime minister, indicating that the two countries had an excellent relationship.

Given such a friendly relationship, it was perfectly reasonable for him to seek help from the Qin state.

What's wrong with him?

Yan Chunjun saw Gao Jianli, who had been brought back by "Jueying," and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Jiang Chuan mimicked Jueying's tone and explained to Yan Chunjun, "This person is a musician from Feixue Pavilion. Last night, he stood up and contradicted Your Majesty. Today, I discovered that he was meeting with Miss Xue Nu in private again, and I realized that Miss Xue Nu cares a lot about this person."

"Although Miss Xue Nu accepted His Majesty's invitation last night, I could tell that he was extremely unwilling. He even sent someone to the Crown Prince's residence today, seemingly intending to ask His Highness for help. However, since His Highness is not in Ji City at the moment, the matter was unsuccessful."

Jiang Chuan learned these things from Jueying's memories, and he spoke of them without any pressure.

"So, I was thinking that if this person is really important to Miss Yuki-onna, he might be a very important bargaining chip that could make Miss Yuki-onna obediently submit."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chunjun's eyes gleamed, and he praised the "Shadowless" before him, saying, "You did very well."

He tacitly accepted Jueying's suggestion.

Another day has passed.

With only one day left before Yuki-onna was to perform her dance at Kouchun-kun's residence, she received two gifts on that day.

They were all sent over by Yan Chun Jun.

One item was a pair of jade bracelets. These bracelets were extremely exquisite and looked very expensive. They were bought by Yan Chun-jun at Qianlong Hall in Korea for a large sum of money. It is worth mentioning that the guests at Qianlong Hall at that time were all extraordinary people.

Besides Situ Wanli, who presided over the exchange of treasures, there were also Crown Prince Yan Dan, Jing Ke, Yan Chunjun, Han Fei, and Zi Nu, who was hidden in the shadows. It was truly a gathering of talented people.

It was there that Han Fei received Zi Nu's reminder and found the key clue to the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the soldiers' pay.

Yan Chunjun bought the pair of bracelets there.

These bracelets were among his treasured possessions.

He knew Xue Nu's former identity in the Zhao Kingdom. She was a woman that even Guo Kai, the powerful prime minister of Zhao, wanted to have. And now, she was about to be his. Didn't this mean that he was even more powerful than Guo Kai, the powerful prime minister of Zhao?

Thinking of this, Yan Chunjun was very pleased with himself.

Because he valued Yuki-onna, he gave her the bracelets, hoping she would wear them when she danced the next night.

Xue Nu was well aware of Yan Chun Jun's intentions, and she had no interest in the bracelets.

She cared more about another gift than this one.

It was a broken umbrella, with mottled bloodstains on it.

The woman recognized the umbrella.

It was the umbrella that Gao Jianli had been carrying. Now, the umbrella had been delivered to Feixue Pavilion by Yanchun Jun's men. Didn't this mean that Gao Jianli had fallen into Yanchun Jun's hands?

Xue Nu and Gao Jianli were not very familiar with each other. Logically speaking, she shouldn't care about Gao Jianli's life or death. Gao Jianli's fate was entirely his own fault.

However, when facing Gao Jianli, he couldn't help but think of Mr. Kuang Xiu from the past.
