The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

Yan Lingji took the lunchbox, smiled happily, and began to eat on the bamboo mat.

For her, it had been a long time since she could eat so carefree.

"Shadow Slaves are truly terrifying!!" Moria exclaimed once again upon seeing this scene.

As a shadow slave, Yan Lingji has not lost her previous feelings and memories.

Even if Moria agreed, she would immediately go and find out the dungeon where the Baiyue prince Tianze was being held, and then try to rescue them.

That's why it's so effective; the exchange of internal fluids makes it more sensual.

Moria chuckled, then went to the stone ball, stretched out his foot, lifted the stone ball into the air, and caught it with his right hand.

"Another day of boring and tedious training!"

Moria smiled and began to dodge, while consciously controlling his physical body to evolve and become stronger, adapting to the weight of the stone ball.

night.

Inside the main hall of the General's Mansion.

Ji Wuye exuded a frenzied aura as he looked at all the Hundred Birds Assassins kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Has Mo Ya not been found yet?" Ji Wuye asked in a cold voice, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"Reporting to the General, not yet!" A Hundred Birds Assassin in charge of the search replied, sweating profusely.

"Hmm," Ji Wuye said coldly, looking at the assassin who was reporting.

"However, we found signs of a battle within the Valley of Broken Souls; a large tree was cracked from being struck. But because of the heavy rain the night before last, we didn't find any bloodstains at the scene. I dare to speculate that Lord Mo Ya had a conflict with someone, and then..."

As he spoke, the assassin lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Ji Wuye.

His meaning was simply that Mo Ya had already been killed.

As for whether it's possible that Mo Ya betrayed Ji Wuye and ran away.

None of the Hundred Birds Killers had ever considered this possibility.

There's fighting!

It seems that Mo Ya is dead!

After listening to his assassin's report, Ji Wuye was basically certain that Mo Ya was most likely really dead.

Otherwise, I would never have dared to disappear for two days after completing the mission.

He was very confident in his ability to manage people, and he was confident that as long as his subordinates were alive, they would never dare to betray him.

“Bai Feng!” Ji Wuye looked at the young man standing at the front.

"Your subordinate is here!" Bai Feng replied.

"The follow-up tasks of the Ghost Soldier's Calamity are now entrusted to you," Ji Wuye ordered.

"I obey!" Bai Feng replied without any change in expression.

"Mo Ya must have happened after the Ghost Soldiers' attack. Be careful when you're on your mission. I'll have someone follow you. If anyone who attacked Mo Ya makes another move, you must hold them off for me."

Ji Wuye said in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"

A cold glint flashed in Bai Feng's eyes, and he said heavily, "Your subordinate will definitely hold that person back!"

Despite her disbelief that Mo Ya was dead, Bai Feng's reason was telling her that Mo Ya was dead after two days of absence.

And that bastard who killed Mo Ya should appear when he's on a mission.

Even if it costs him his life, he will not let anyone who harms Mo Ya go unpunished.

"very good!"

Ji Wuye nodded, then looked at another Hundred Birds Assassin, "How's the investigation into what happened at Yixian Valley last night?"

The assassin, known as the Hundred Birds Assassin, reported, "General, there were two people who broke into the prison. One used a sharp, long, hidden weapon, and the soldiers who died all had their foreheads pierced. The other must be a master of external martial arts; he shattered both stone doors with a single punch, demonstrating a power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

A sharp, long concealed weapon?

A martial arts master who can shatter a massive basalt rock gate as thick as his sword with a single punch.

When did Baiyue acquire two such masters?

Why did they only save Yan Lingji and not Tianze?

Could it be because they can't find where Tianze is being held?

Ji Wuye frowned, his mind a jumbled mess.

First, Mo Ya got into a fight with someone for no apparent reason and was likely killed.

Then the following night, Yan Lingji of Baiyue was rescued by two people who were suspected to be experts from Baiyue.

Suddenly, three hidden masters appeared.

Ji Wuye grew increasingly uneasy. He felt he needed to ask the man in the straw raincoat who was in charge of intelligence.

Soon, Ji Wuye dismissed Bai Niao and secretly left the house late at night with only one subordinate.

Outside Xinzheng City.

Beside the stream, in the woods.

A man wearing a straw hat sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the stream, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

From a distance, Ji Wuye ordered his subordinates to stop, and he himself walked behind the man in the straw raincoat.

"The General wants to know about Mo Ya's disappearance and who rescued Yan Ling Ji," the man in the straw raincoat said without turning his head.

"Who is it?" Ji Wuye asked directly.

"I don't know either!" the man in the straw raincoat replied.

"Then you're playing me for fools!" Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes.

"Hahaha!"

"How dare a lowly person like me deceive a general!"

The man in the straw raincoat raised his hand, retracted the empty fishing hook, and then laughed, "Although I didn't catch any fish, I have a pretty good idea of ​​where they are most likely to go."

"Where?" Ji Wuye asked quickly.

The man in the straw raincoat took out a token from his pocket and threw it behind him.

Ji Wuye took the token, looked at it, and frowned, saying, "This is an invitation token for the Farmer's Hidden Dragon Hall's barter conference. What does it have to do with the person I'm looking for?"

The man in the straw raincoat replied, "Tomorrow night, the Farmer's Hidden Dragon Hall will hold a barter conference in Hidden Dragon Mountain, north of Xinzheng City. Many unexpected people will appear at that time."

Ji Wuye's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "You mean, those three experts who appeared out of nowhere are recent outsiders?"

The man in the straw raincoat hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's also possible that it isn't!"

Ji Wuye frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I wonder if the General knows of Jing Ni!"

"The Luo Wang assassins are divided into eight levels: Heavenly Slaughter, Earthly Destroyer, and Demons and Monsters. Are you referring to Jing Ni, the highest-ranking Heavenly-class assassin from the Luo Wang?"

The man in the straw raincoat replied, "That's right."

Ji Wuye frowned again, "What do you mean?"

The man in the straw raincoat replied, "Jing Ni is currently defecting from Luo Wang with her child and a level-one assassin. A few days ago, she and Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han, entered Xinzheng at the same time. The three of them seem to know each other."

"what!!!"

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!"

Ji Wuye was somewhat angry. A top-tier assassin from the Luo Wang organization, who had managed to escape the Luo Wang's pursuit and successfully arrive in Xinzheng, Han.

Needless to say, Ji Wuye, who already had a deep partnership with Luo Wang, knew the significance of this.

Jing Ni is definitely not an ordinary top-tier assassin from the Luo Wang organization.

Moreover, he is now acquainted with the Ninth Prince of South Korea, which is no joke.

The combined power of these two forces is on a completely different level from the previous fools who dared to defy the Nightfall.

The man in the straw raincoat replied, "I only received the news from Qin this morning, and that's when I confirmed that Jing Ni has arrived in Xinzheng. This is Jing Ni's current address in Xinzheng."

After saying this, the man in the straw raincoat handed Ji Wuye a strip of cloth with the location of Moria's current residence written on it.

Ji Wuye took the strip of cloth, glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket along with the invitation token from the Hidden Dragon Hall. He then said to the man in the straw raincoat, "I'll take the token. I'll go to the barter event myself."

The man in the straw raincoat put the fishing hook back into the stream and said with a smile, "General, please go ahead."

From beginning to end, these two seemed to have completely disregarded Moria, a third-class assassin.

the next day.

Around noon, Moria arrived as promised and went to the private room on the third floor of the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Zi Nu arrived as promised, but this time Wei Zhuang also came along.

"That's wonderful! Brother Wei Zhuang, did you come to see me?" Moria sat on the cushion and looked at Wei Zhuang, who was sitting opposite him, and smiled.

Wei Zhuang's face twitched; he now loathed the words "too wonderful."

"Hehe!" Zi Nu covered her mouth and laughed, as if she had discovered something interesting.

Wei Zhuang looked at Moria solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, Zi Nu is going to the outside of Xinzheng City to participate in the calligraphy competition of the Farmer's Hidden Dragon Hall. There may be danger there. I would like to ask you to protect her."

"After all, the danger arose because of what you caused."

Wei Zhuang couldn't resist making a small sarcastic remark about Moria.

He received intelligence that the person Moria killed that night was Mo Ya, a Hundred Birds Assassin under Ji Wuye's command.

Ji Wuye went to this barter conference to see if the person who killed Mo Ya would appear at the conference.

Wei Zhuang was afraid that if Zi Nu went there, it would attract Ji Wu Ye's attention and put her in danger, so he asked Moria to protect Zi Nu.

Putting aside his negative feelings towards Moria, Wei Zhuang still trusted Moria's abilities.

With Moria around, Violet will be safe.

"There's no need for Brother Wei Zhuang to ask me to do that; protecting Zi Nu is my responsibility."

Moria waved his hand, then looked at Zi Nu and smiled, "I'll treat this opportunity to be alone with Miss Zi Nu as our first date. Don't worry, I'll dress up smartly and won't embarrass Miss Zi Nu."
