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

Chapter 89 The Heaven-Mending Pavilion

The old man's name was Wei Yong, and he was the Grand Minister of Works of the State of Wei. Although he looked worried now, not long ago he had stirred up a bloody storm in the city of Daliang.

Using his daughter Wei Qianqian as bait, he lured Hei Bai Xuanjian, a top-tier assassin from the Qin state's Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), and ordered Hei Bai Xuanjian to assassinate his political enemies, thus clearing the way for him to seize control of the Wei state's military power.

Then he tried to kill Hei Bai Xuan Jian to silence him, but his daughter thwarted his plan with her own life, allowing Hei Bai Xuan Jian to escape. Now Hei Bai Xuan Jian has been on the run for several days, lurking in the darkness, becoming a sword hanging over his head. He doesn't know when this sword will fall.

"Qianqian, you've made your father cry. Is Hei Bai Xuan Jian worth sacrificing your life for?" Wei Yong muttered to himself. Thinking of his daughter's resolute decision that night, and the image of her lying in a pool of blood, his heart clenched. He loved power, but his daughter was, after all, his own flesh and blood. How could he not have any feelings for her?

Alas. With a sigh, night fell, concealing the traces of dusk, and Weijiazhuang returned to silence once more.

As the first rays of morning sunlight pierced the darkness, two dark figures appeared before the stone tablet in front of Wei Family Village. A middle-aged man dressed in a tight-fitting warrior outfit and wearing a veil looked at the stone tablet in front of him, his gaze falling on the character "Wei". A soft look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned cold and stern.

He loved the surname, but he also hated it.

"Weijiazhuang, Wei Yong."

The man in black sneered and swung his sword at the stone tablet in front of him, which was thicker than a strong man's waist. In the blink of an eye, the stone tablet was split in two. He dragged the broken stone tablet and walked step by step into Weijiazhuang. Amidst the empty faces, he threw the stone tablet into the wide street in the center of Weijiazhuang.

"Your nightmare has begun. This is the tombstone I have prepared for you. I will carve your names one by one on it. Prepare to face your fate." Hei Bai Xuan Jian stood on the deserted street, looking around. He knew that behind every window and every door, countless eyes were watching him.

That's exactly what he wanted. He wanted everyone in Weijiazhuang to suffer the torment of fear and slowly walk towards death. Only in this way could he relieve the hatred and pain in his heart.

In the following days, people were killed in Weijiazhuang every day. Although only a few people were killed each time, no one knew when or where Hei Bai Xuan Jian would appear next, nor did anyone know who his next sword would strike.

The fear of the unknown, equated with certain death, and the impending doom, intertwined with layers of emotions in the hearts of everyone in Weijiazhuang. Fear, even madness, had begun to spread throughout Weijiazhuang.

"Hmph, as expected, they are just brainless killers who enjoy torturing people but do not know that complications will arise. The longer things drag on, the more likely something unexpected will happen." Wei Yong, who was hiding deep in Wei Family Village, remained calm, even though those killed were all his nephews and younger relatives.

He was willing to sacrifice even his daughter for his future and for power, let alone these younger relatives of the same clan.

Unexpected complications, changes?

Hei Bai Xuan Jian was unaware of all this; he only knew that he was acquiring what he wanted, little by little, through the sword in his hand.

The death and fear in Weijiazhuang were the best fuel for his revenge. Only in this way could he alleviate the pain in his heart. Killing, especially killing his enemies, gave him an unprecedented sense of relief.

The sword of gratitude has been broken; he will live the rest of his life for revenge.

One day, two young men riding in a cargo cart suddenly burst into Wei Family Village, causing a slight setback in Hei Bai Xuan Jian's revenge plan.

Wei Yong was quite surprised to see the two young men who had suddenly appeared uninvited. However, even though the two did not reveal their origins, the experienced Wei Yong immediately recognized their extraordinary nature.

Putting aside martial arts skills, his calm and composed demeanor alone is something that cannot be cultivated in a humble family; he must be from a prominent family.

Thus, a plan came to Wei Yong's mind.

During the questioning by the two young men, Wei Yong began to recount his experiences, but in his account, he was portrayed entirely as a victim.

"The Qin state sees me as the biggest obstacle to their eastward expansion. Since they cannot defeat me on the battlefield, they want to use assassins to eliminate this obstacle."

In Wei Yong's account, he became the pillar of the Wei Kingdom, the cornerstone of the nation.

Of course, Wei Yong's words were not entirely false. Although his character was flawed, he was capable. In the war between Qin and Wei, he did cause considerable trouble for Qin. Qin even sent assassins from the Luo Wang organization to kill him, but under pressure from the Luo Wang organization and driven by his desire for power, he quickly succumbed.

Of course, Wei Yong would never say any of this. He still needed to use these two young men in front of him to block Hei Bai Xuan Jian before Luo Wang's reinforcements arrived.

The two young men were Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, who had come down from the mountain to take the big test at the request of their teacher. After hearing Wei Yong's story, although they had doubts, they chose to temporarily believe Wei Yong and observe the development of events by entering the game in order to uncover the truth.

Thus, Hei Bai Xuan Jian, the top assassin of the Luo Wang organization who had lost one of his swords, faced off against the fledgling successor of the Zong Heng sect.

After their first encounter, Hei Bai Xuan Jian had a slight advantage, but the successor of Zong Heng did not suffer any losses.

The power of Hei Bai Xuan Jian forced the successor of the Strategists to change his strategy and decide to carry out a plan. After some planning, he first used a feint to the east and then a clever escape, intending to send Wei Yong out of Wei Family Village under the blockade of Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

Unfortunately, their plan was not only exposed by Hei Bai Xuan Jian, but Hei Bai Xuan Jian also turned the tables on them. After an initial exchange, he used the Black Widow to trap the two of them, while he returned to Wei Family Village to kill Wei Yong.

Unfortunately, Hei Bai Xuan Jian underestimated the strength of the successors of the Strategists. Both of them were taught by Gui Gu Zi, and their martial arts and knowledge were top-notch in the world. Although Black Widow's Ruthless Silk Array was terrifying and mysterious, the successors of the Strategists quickly found its weakness.

Despite using blood to break the formation, Black Widow was not trapped by the successor of the Horizontal and Vertical Sects as Hei Bai Xuan Jian had predicted; instead, she was injured.

The successor of the Strategist Sect rushed forward and finally stopped Hei Bai Xuan Jian just as he was about to attack Wei Yong.

The two sides were locked in a chaotic battle. Hei Bai Xuan Jian was not at his peak, and he was unable to win against the combined attack of the successors of the Zongheng School.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Yan Ri appeared, causing Hei Bai Xuan Jian to abandon his revenge. Hei Bai Xuan Jian refused and directly clashed with Yan Ri, ordering the Black Widow, who had rushed back, to kill Wei Yong. The Black Widow, naturally, was unconditionally loyal to Hei Bai Xuan Jian and ignored Yan Ri's orders.

Just as he was about to make his move, he was controlled by a flute melody and became unable to move. Then, another assassin wielding a knife rushed out and slashed at Black Widow. Just when Black Widow thought she was about to die on the spot, a dark figure rushed out and directly cut off the assassin's attack. She was killed by the assassin with a backhand sword.

The sudden change shocked everyone involved. How could there be other people, and—

In an instant, whether it was Yan Ri, Hei Bai Xuan Jian, or the successor of Zong Heng, they all looked at the figure that suddenly appeared. He was dressed in black, only revealing a pair of cold, icy eyes. He stood in the center of the arena, surrounded by many experts, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Black Widow was now limp on the ground; for a fleeting moment, she thought she was dead.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian's heart pounded as he looked at the swordsman who had suddenly appeared. Perhaps this was his chance.

The successor of the Strategist was filled with doubt. The two brothers exchanged a glance. Gai Nie's expression was cold and indifferent, but Wei Zhuang smiled and said, "Senior brother, things are getting more and more interesting."

"Who are you?" Yan Ri asked coldly, as he hated unexpected changes.

The black-clad swordsman didn't answer, but instead looked towards the defensive line on the rooftop to the east. There stood a slender female assassin, holding a flute in her hand, with a butterfly ornament between her eyebrows, exuding charm. She was Li Wu, a killer of the Luo Wang (Net of Justice) rank. Just now, she had used the sound of her flute to forcefully control the Black Widow, creating an opportunity for her companion to strike and kill her.

At this moment, countless gazes converged on her, making the female assassin very puzzled. Was she special?

However, her doubts lasted only a moment. In that instant, the hairs on her body stood on end. Without her noticing, a man in black had suddenly appeared behind her. An assassin had been placed behind her without her knowledge. If the man in black had made a move just now, she would have been dead.

Why, why was I completely unaware? Li Wu was shocked. With that person standing beside her, her mind was so captivated that she didn't even have the courage to make a move.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion." The man in black stood beside Li Wu, looking down at her, and casually stated his origins.
