Chapter 468: Chapter 13 Kill in Public!!

Li Guanyi first opened the intelligence report on Lady Hua Rui.

On the dossier, a narrative written in great detail, and Li Guanyi silently read: "Lady Hua Rui, hailing from Liu State, born to a common family, her father a farmer, possessed of youthful beauty, she was abducted by a martial artist at a young age, violated at fifteen, subjected to multiple indignities."

"Endowed with a bright and spirited nature, unwilling to succumb to her fate, she relied on her beauty to bewitch the martial artist’s master, inciting master and disciple to turn against each other, thereby acquiring martial arts manuals and even seizing silver, distributing most of it to other ill-fated women with similar experiences, before dispersing them."

"Yet, she still harbored kindness, exceeding the magnanimity of ordinary people."

"A portion of the women stayed by her side."

"In the following years, she attempted to practice martial arts and due to her beauty, she made a small name for herself in the Martial World."

"As the years passed, she found that her beauty was fading. With her looks waning, her progress in the Martial World became increasingly strained, until she made initial contact with an emissary of the ’Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect’, who started by luring her with ordinary elixir pills. Zhao Huairui was unaware, only discovering that her appearance was gradually returning to its original state, and her power was also advancing."

"She founded the ’Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion’."

"Five years later, upon learning the true nature of the elixir pills she consumed, she refused to take them any longer."

"Yet as her beauty rapidly decayed, and having relied on them for so long, she found herself falling into a pit of despair, lowering her standards, still purchasing pills with gold, taking them in large quantities, and ultimately began actively collecting young girls for the emissary of the ’Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect’ due to their need for fresh subjects."

"Women not possessing a Yin constitution were kept within the ’Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion’. Pure Yin constitution women were taken away. Since most girls remained and their lives were relatively affluent, others did not suspect her actions."

"To this day, she still deludes herself that she is compelled by necessity, yet in reality, she has taken many lives."

"The backyard is filled with large peonies and peaches, fertilized with human flesh, exceedingly beautiful."

"The Ghost Market has judged her as having fallen into the ranks of the lost spirits."

"Pitiful, detestable, deserving of death."

"The Ghost Market has a bounty, offering one treasure from the Profound Level arsenal to whoever brings her head."

"Martial Arts, thirty years of cultivation, tempered with Blood Returning Pills, third layer."

"Actual combat ability weaker than the peak of the second layer of the Military School, the Academy’s Taoists, and Sword Immortals, roughly comparable to an ordinary Confucian Scholar of the Triple Realm."

"Specializes in the use of weapons: Male and Female Hooked Swords, Strange Martial Arts, Upper Martial Arts of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect."

"Inner Strength: Yin Yang Reincarnation third layer."

"Influence: Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion, Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect."

"Weakness — Inner Strength purely elevated by elixir pills, not stable, weaker than the normal Third Layer Heaven in bursts of exertion; lacking in combat experience, deficient in fighting to the death, on the conjectural chessboard, if she were to meet her fifteen-year-old self now, she would die by the dagger of her younger self."

"Challenge — Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion has over a hundred Guest Elders, Lady Hua Rui is widely connected."

"Her death would invite numerous consequences."

This intelligence was extremely detailed. Li Guanyi felt as if he was looking at an ordinary woman who, from an initial victimization, became determined and astute, step by treacherous step transitioning into a twisted and malevolent ghost. He remained silent, gazing at the name of the ’Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect’.

He scrutinized Lady Hua Rui’s intelligence once more.

The document also listed her associates and friends, all of which Li Guanyi took meticulous note of.

Contemplating, he then looked at the most expensive intelligence report from Zhenbei City.

"Since I’m already here."

Li Guanyi touched his mask and continued to read the intelligence on the ’Qilin Hunting Conference’, just a glance and his gaze sharpened, his eyes narrowed slightly.

’The Qilin Hunting Conference, led by Jiang Gao of Ying Country’

’Its public purpose is to hunt Qilin, but in reality, it seeks to rally the major clans and sect leaders of the Martial World in the Northern Domain of Chen Country, in preparation for waging war against Chen Country. Yuwen Lie, the renowned general of Ying Country, intending to kill Li Guanyi of Chen Country, left his kinsman Yuwen Hua with three hundred heavy cavalry.’

’Yuwen Lie is determined to kill Li Guanyi.’

’The name ’Qilin Hunting Conference’ was personally penned by Yuwen Lie.’

’The Qilin referred to is not the Fire Qilin, but the ’Chaos Qilin’, Li Guanyi.’

"Yuwen Lie..."

Li Guanyi muttered to himself, as if he could see again that stern and silent renown general, with icy eyes, looking down upon him.

During Chen Country’s grand sacrifice, Li Guanyi successfully escaped, with the help of friends and elders, as well as his own struggles, not only fleeing from Chen Country but even managing to elude most people’s attention at the forefront.

Except for Yuwen Lie.

This renowned general seemed to possess an instinct for warfare.

From the very first moment, he regarded Li Guanyi with enough importance that had Li Guanyi defected to Ying Country, Yuwen Lie would have become his best mentor, fiercely nurturing him and even going so far as to promise the Crown Prince, willing to bear the brunt of accusation before all other champions.

But once Li Guanyi refused.

Then in his eyes, there would only be intent to kill.

Harboring the utmost determination to absolutely kill Li Guanyi.

In the process of courting the four Grandmasters, seemingly worried that Li Guanyi might easily change his appearance, Yuwen Lie also kept with him Yuwen Hua from the younger generation of the Yuwen Family, along with three hundred Heavy Armored Cavalry, all evidently to ensure Li Guanyi’s capture.

Li Guanyi reflected on his martial contest with that young military officer. At their peak of the third layer heaven, during their fight, he had already begun to manifest a glimpse of the Divine Charm of the White Tiger, revealing that his ascent to the fourth layer was not far off.

Yuwen Hua, was he now also in Zhenbei City?

Li Guanyi pondered.

The Ghost Market’s intelligence report revealed the source of its information. As Li Guanyi looked over it, he was taken aback to see a familiar name — ’Yuwen Lie’. This dossier was unmistakably provided by the renowned general himself, to the Ghost Market, before he left Zhenbei City.

Li Guanyi’s pupils constricted sharply.

At the end of the dossier, he saw a line of text different from the previous records, its strokes dropped as if they were spears and sword edges, simply calm yet domineering:
