Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

When Yang Che returned to his residence, it was already late at night. As for the Jingzhe sisters, Yang Che left them in the newly established Butian Pavilion, which was the secluded courtyard where beggars gathered.

As for whether leaving the two girls in the wolf's den was too irresponsible, that was not something Yang Che needed to consider. He had already given them a choice, and they had chosen to join the Butian Pavilion and become assassins.

Since an assassin makes a living by killing, he must be prepared to be killed.

To Yang Che's surprise, when he finished getting ready to go to sleep, Jing Ni, who had already returned, took the initiative to ask about the whereabouts of the two sisters.

Yang Che looked at Jing Ni with some surprise and asked, "You worry about others too?"

Jing Ni did not answer Yang Che, but simply waited quietly for his reply.

After Yang Che finished telling her about what happened after he left the Poison Scorpion Sect, Jing Ni remained silent for a while before saying, "I have a sword technique here that is easy to learn but is excellent at killing. You can use it."

Yang Che was somewhat surprised and asked, "Is this sword manual for me, or for them?"

Jing Ni turned over, leaving Yang Che with only her back to her, and ignored him again.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after having breakfast, Yang Che resumed his daily life as a beast of burden.

On Jade Tiger's side, having received no news from the Poison Scorpion Sect, he was furious. He assumed the Poison Scorpion Sect was afraid of Yang Che's agility and dared not make a move, so he was about to send someone to urge them on.

When his men went to the Poison Scorpion Sect, they returned with deathly pale faces.

"What's wrong with you? Does Poison Scorpion dare to disrespect you?" Seeing his confidant's pale face, Emerald Tiger assumed he had been frightened by Poison Scorpion and felt displeased. He thought Poison Scorpion was becoming increasingly arrogant and wanted to find an opportunity to teach Poison Scorpion a lesson.

"No, Scorpion, he..." The confidant stammered, seemingly greatly frightened.

"Speak quickly," Emerald Tiger urged.

"They're all dead, all dead, including Poison Scorpion, everyone in the Poison Scorpion Sect is dead." The confidant said, the scene he had witnessed by the Poison Scorpion Sect flashing before his eyes again.

Corpses lay scattered everywhere, dried blood, and gruesome organs...

"Dead?" Emerald Tiger was startled. Although the Poison Scorpion Sect was just a low-level tool in his hands, he still knew about the Poison Scorpion's abilities.

This kind of person was considered a big shot in the underworld of Xinzheng. Yet, this very person had his entire family wiped out without anyone noticing.

In Xinzheng, there are many people who can destroy the Poison Scorpion Sect, but few can destroy it so quietly.

The Grand General is one, the Zhang family is one, the royal palace is one, and the Fourth Young Master Han Yu is also a hidden talent, perhaps possessing such ability. Others, even the Left Sima Liu Yi who holds military power, could not have wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect silently.

Who exactly has set its sights on the Scorpion Clan? Emerald Tiger's mind raced, and a sense of unease began to creep in.

The destruction of the Poison Scorpion Sect might only mean more trouble in his future pursuit of beauties, but it wasn't a major issue. However, he had to be cautious about why the Poison Scorpion Sect was destroyed.

If it's because of a secret deal, will the people who destroyed the Poison Scorpion Sect notice him? This is a question that must be addressed carefully.

Although he is safe and sound because of the General's Mansion and the cover of night, what if something happens?

As one of the Four Fiends of the Night, he knew all too well the destructive power of assassins; they were simply impossible to guard against...

Jade Tiger thought and thought but couldn't figure it out, because he had ruled out the truth from the beginning.

"It seems I need to ask the General for a few elite assassins from the Hundred Birds Clan to ensure my safety." Emerald Tiger pondered as he walked out of the room, preparing to head to the General's mansion.

The General's Mansion.

"You said the Poison Scorpion Sect was wiped out?" Ji Wuye looked at the Jade Tiger who was rushing over, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing across his face.

The destruction of a small Poison Scorpion Sect was not worth his attention, but the sudden appearance of such a force in Xinzheng that was not under the surveillance of the night made him somewhat dissatisfied.

This is a challenge to the absolute control that night has over Xinzheng.

"General, what exactly caused the Poison Scorpion Sect to provoke such a powerful enemy? Could it be because of those deals we made with Nightfall? If we destroy the Poison Scorpion Sect and they then target me, I'm afraid..." Emerald Tiger was deeply worried.

"Why are you so timid now? Could it be that all the tonics you've taken have gone into your fat body instead of your courage? In Xinzheng, in Korea, who would dare to touch you?" Ji Wuye glanced at Emerald Tiger with disdain, feeling utterly ashamed.

If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't anyone in the Nightfall who could earn more money than him, Ji Wuye would have considered replacing one of the Four Fiends of the Nightfall.

"General, I was just worried." Emerald Tiger dared not get angry at Ji Wuye's mockery, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"What's there to worry about? In Xinzheng, no one can bother Tian. I'll have Bai Feng protect you for a while. However, we do need to investigate the people who wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect," Ji Wuye said.

Like Jade Tiger, neither he nor Yang Che suspected Yang Che of being the murderer. Yang Che was a graduate of the Jixia Academy, not someone trained in the military. As a civil official, how could he possess such strong martial arts skills and bloodthirstiness?

When they thought of Yang Che, they could only think that Yang Che was really lucky. Just as the Poison Scorpion Sect was about to make a move against him, someone had already wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect.

"What about Yang Che?" Emerald Tiger asked.

He had boasted to Ji Wuye not long ago, but now the Poison Scorpion Sect had been wiped out, which was quite a slap in the face.

"You decide for yourself. Do you expect me to worry about something as trivial as this disappearance?" Ji Wuye said dismissively. Although Yang Che had shown considerable potential, it was still just potential, and he was no match for him.

The Jade Tiger is enough to deal with Yang Che.

"Yes, I'll go back and continue planning this matter," Emerald Tiger replied hastily.

The matter of the Poison Scorpion Sect has been resolved for the time being and has not caused too much of a stir. As for the deaths, it is a matter of fate for those who have entered the martial arts world to be killed.

When the authorities learned of this matter, they hastily closed the case. The Poison Scorpion Sect had committed numerous evils and had powerful backers, so they couldn't take them down in a short time. Now that someone had acted on behalf of Heaven and destroyed the Poison Scorpion Sect, they were overjoyed and had no time to think about finding out the truth and seeking justice for the dead members of the Poison Scorpion Sect.

With the confirmation of the death of Queen Dowager Xia of Qin, the state of Han has even more important things to do.

Empress Dowager Xia was born in the State of Han and was a member of a collateral branch of the Han royal family. Although her family’s fiefdom of Gong County had long been occupied by the State of Qin, she was still related to the people of Han. In recent years, Han had often visited Empress Dowager Xia’s side, although it was of little use.

Back then, Empress Dowager Xuan was still a princess of the State of Chu. However, after marrying into the State of Qin and seizing power, she severely attacked her own family, the State of Chu. Even her hometown of Ying was flooded, and her palace was burned down.

However, while such a relationship may not necessarily be useful in matters of war between the two countries, it is indispensable.

The death of Empress Dowager Xia was a matter of great importance for the state of Han, and sending envoys to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to pay respects to her became the top priority for Han.
