658: Chapter 618 Assassin_1 658: Chapter 618 Assassin_1 The carriage had been on the road for a while, and as the passengers had little to talk about, they all leaned against the windows to watch the landscape outside.

As the carriage rolled on, Zhan Tianyu suddenly asked, “Who do you think was the person who tried to assassinate you last night?”

“I mean, to which power could he have belonged?

Since it wasn’t the Lu family or the Lin family, it seems like it could only be the Sky Martial Sect, right?” he speculated.

Zhan Tianyu guessed.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It seems like the Sky Martial Sect is the most suspicious.”

“I’m also curious, that poison had no effect on you whatsoever, and your injuries healed almost instantly.”

“Could it be that you have some special Divine Artifact constitution, with a super-strong healing ability?” he speculated.

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “That’s a secret you don’t need to know.

If you’re seriously injured, you can come to me, and I can heal you completely.”

At that moment, Zhan Tianyu felt a surge of excitement.

That was exactly what he had been waiting for.

“Then it’s a deal if I’m ever in trouble and get seriously injured, I’ll come to you,” he said.

Lu Chuan smiled faintly, “No problem.”

The ability of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire didn’t burden him when used, and if it could earn him a favor, then he would indeed be in profit.

The carriage continued on its way when suddenly there was a clatter, and it jostled violently.

Gu Xiaosang, who had been leaning against the window, bored and drowsy, was instantly startled awake.

“What happened?

That scared me!”

Zhan Tianyu said, “It must have been a rock on the road that the carriage bumped into, right?”

“The problem shouldn’t be serious.”

However, as the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, it became apparent that something was not right.

The carriage came to a slow stop, and Zhan Tianyu’s expression grew grave.

“What’s going on?

Coachman!

Keep moving forward!” he shouted.

Yet, after shouting, there was no response whatsoever!

At this moment, Zhan Tianyu started to panic, and he shouted again, more anxiously, “Did you hear me?

If you don’t speak up, you’re as good as dead!”

He hurriedly got out of the carriage and as soon as he got out, he smelled a pungent odor of blood that made his face turn pale.

He walked around the carriage to the front.

However, in the next instant, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

The coachman, sitting in the driver’s seat, was still upright, but his head was nowhere to be seen!

Both horses at the front had collapsed to the ground, all four of their legs chopped off, with cuts so smooth it was clear the weapon used was extremely sharp!

Catching their breaths roughly, the horses quickly bled out, soon losing all signs of life.

Confronted with this bizarre scene, Zhan Tianyu was thrown into a panic, he clenched his fists tightly and bellowed into the surroundings, “Bastards!

Show yourselves!

Only a coward hides in the dark, do you dare to face me?”

Hearing Zhan Tianyu’s roar, Lu Chuan and the others quickly got off the carriage and made their way to the front.

When they saw the gory scene before them, they all recoiled a few steps in shock.

Lu Chuan, however, stood firm, his brows furrowed deeply.

“This cut is so smooth, truly odd.”

Gu Xiaosang quickly turned and squatted by the road, feeling her stomach churn violently.

Gu Xiaorou hid behind Lu Chuan, not daring to take another look.

“When exactly did the enemy make a move?

We had no clue!”

“And, what do you think the weapon was?”

Zhan Tianyu asked anxiously.

Lu Chuan said in a concentrated voice, “The cut surfaces are so smooth, the weapon must be extremely sharp.”

“If an assassin suddenly attacked and struck several blows, both the coachman and the horses would have been startled and screamed.”

“Clearly, the murderer himself didn’t appear; this is the result of a trap that was set up.”

Zhan Tianyu quickly scanned his surroundings, “Are you saying that bastard is hiding nearby?

What other traps could create this effect?”

“Sharp silk wire, it needs to be especially sharp to do this.”

“It seems this guy is not simple at all, surely he’s come for me.”

As he said this, one of Zhan Tianyu’s disciples hurried over, his face pale with panic, and said, “The enemy…

is using silk wire as a weapon?”

He was obviously frightened, pale, and trembling.

“Li Jiang!

You are after all one of my most proud disciples, look how scared you’ve become?”

Li Jiang was trembling uncontrollably, swallowed, and said, “Master, do you remember there’s also an assassin’s list in Dubhe City?”

“Is there?”

“Yes, the number one on the assassin’s list is named Bai Hao, and his specialty is the silk wire!”

“He can use silk wire to set up various traps and kill people invisibly.”

“Once in Dubhe City, he had inadvertently offended an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Martial Sect and unceremoniously killed him.”

“Then, the Sky Martial Sect announced outwardly that they would hunt down this bastard to the ends of the earth and sea!”

“But what’s eerie is that, in the following days, not only did the Sky Martial Sect not kill Bai Hao, but one after another, their Inner Sect Disciples began to disappear unexpectedly.”

“It was only after more than a dozen days that they gradually found the bodies in the wilderness.”

Li Jiang’s words invoked some unpleasant memories for Zhan Tianyu.

“I am aware of this,” Zhan Tianyu continued, “During that time, the Sky Martial Sect indeed constantly had Disciples disappearing mysteriously.”

“During that period, people from the other renowned martial arts families were all frightened and didn’t dare to go out alone.”

“The prime culprit, is it actually this guy named Bai Hao?”

“Also, how do you know this?”

Li Jiang became flustered and quickly explained, “Because there was about a month gap between the two incidents, many people had forgotten, so they didn’t make the connection.”

“I’ve always remembered the news about the Sky Martial Sect’s manhunt for Bai Hao, not until a month later when Disciples from the Sky Martial Sect began disappearing did I connect it to Bai Hao’s doing.”

Zhan Tianyu’s face became somber, “This assassin you’re talking about, I don’t really know anything about him.”

“I don’t know much either; people who recognize him in the outside world are very few, most have only heard of his name.”

Zhan Tianyu looked up at Lu Chuan, “Do you know this Bai Hao?”

“I don’t.”

“That’s odd, then why would he go after you?”

Zhan Tianyu scanned his surroundings again, fearful of missing any lurking figures.

“I’m standing right here, let’s see if he has the guts to show himself and make a move on me!”

“Once we catch him, everything will become clear!”

“The Sky Martial Sect couldn’t deal with someone, that could be quite troublesome,” Zhan Tianyu grew nervous inside.

Although his strength was not weak, it was clear that this Bai Hao was an absolute top-ranked assassin in Dubhe City.

“Is the Sky Martial Sect very strong?

Didn’t they also fail to solve me?”

“Since this Bai Hao is a top-ranked expert, let me confront him, but I’m afraid that he doesn’t have the guts to show his face!”

No sooner had Lu Chuan finished speaking than a cold, low voice came from the surroundings, “Lu Chuan, your head is mine!”

“Today, you have no chance to escape; this is your life and death battleground, and you won’t be able to escape from here!”
