Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 29 The Assassins of the Luo Wang Network, Upon Receiving the News
"I'll ask, you answer. Of course, you can also choose not to answer, but the consequences could be severe..."

Looking at the four people lying motionless on the ground, Xiaomeng's eyes were a little strange. Although she didn't know what methods Chen Xiuyuan had used, the four of them were in no condition to speak.

In other words, even if they wanted to say it, they couldn't.

She strongly suspected that Chen Xiuyuan was deliberately messing with them.

It feels like hanging a prisoner up, beating him for three days and three nights, and then constantly asking him if he'll talk, until he's almost beaten to death, only to find out he's mute.
Chen Xiuyuan remained calm and slowly said, "Did you know that the villages near Daicheng were massacred two years ago?"

"You'd better just tell me what I want to know; I'm not interested in anything else."

"Let's start with the first person."

As they were talking, the man in black on the far left was granted a brief period of freedom.

Looking at the two children before him, the man in black spoke coldly, threateningly, "Boy, whoever you are, I advise you to let us leave. You can't afford to offend the people of the Luo Wang."

Chen Xiuyuan frowned.

The Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) is a sharp sword hidden in the shadows of the Qin state. It is both an assassin group and an intelligence agency, and its controller is Zhao Gao, the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office.

However, to him, these people were all the same, regardless of who they belonged to; once he had taken action, he had to bear the consequences.

If he were in a good mood, he might spare their lives, but unfortunately, he's not in a good mood right now.

"You don't seem to have understood what I said."

I'm not interested in which faction you belong to.

As she spoke, Xiaomeng felt a force on her hand, and then she found herself behind Chen Xiuyuan.

Then came the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat; she seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"Next is the second one, I hope you understood what I meant."

The second person looked at the not-so-tall boy in front of him, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. As assassins of the Luo Wang organization, they were used to killing, but when they made a move, their eyes still couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion.

But just now, when this boy killed his companion, his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if what died at his hands was not a person, but an object? Yes, an object, an object without any life characteristics.

He had no doubt that if he didn't answer what the boy in front of him was interested in, the boy would strangle him.

"know."

"But I have one condition: if I tell you, will you let me go?"

Standing behind Chen Xiuyuan, Xiaomeng felt a pang of emotion upon hearing this; it seemed that the other party's condition wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"You have no right to negotiate."

Chen Xiuyuan's words came through again soon, and Xiaomeng was stunned. Things did not seem to be developing according to the expected trajectory.

Upon hearing this, the second assassin from the Luo Wang organization was clearly taken aback; he seemed not to have expected such a response.

"Don't you want to know what happened back then?"

"You don't seem to have understood what I said either."

The calm tone conveyed an immense pressure.

The man in black's expression changed drastically. His companion had died right after the boy uttered those words. "I'll talk!!"

Chen Xiuyuan's eyes remained unchanged as he looked at the person.

Xiaomeng, standing behind him, was completely stunned when she heard this. What was going on?

Doesn't Chen Xiuyuan want to know the inside story of the Sanyang Village incident? And why is that assassin from the Luo Wang organization still talking about it? Is he out of his mind?
"Two years ago, Prime Minister Lü planned to launch a military campaign. He bribed a high-ranking official in the State of Zhao with a large sum of money, agreeing to cooperate from within and without. However, the news was leaked, and the Luo Wang (a secret police organization) pursued him relentlessly, but to no avail. The person who knew the truth eventually disappeared near the city of Dai."

"What happened afterward was pretty much as the rumors outside. In order to fulfill Prime Minister Lü's plan, Luo Wang dispatched two officials, Jing Ni and Yan Ri, who used both soft and hard tactics to subdue the nearby mountain strongholds."

Chen Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly. Yan Ri and Jing Ni were not simple. The Luo Wang assassins were divided into eight levels, from highest to lowest: Heaven, Kill, Earth, Absolute, Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang.

Both of them were "Heaven" level assassins, but it was only to intimidate the nearby mountain strongholds, so there was no need to send out two "Heaven" level assassins.

"To intimidate the mountain stronghold, the Luo Wang organization dispatched two 'Heaven'-level assassins??"

Upon hearing this, the man was startled. Clearly, this young man knew of the existence of the Luo Wang and had a general understanding of it. Otherwise, after he mentioned Jing Ni and Yan Ri, the other party would not have been able to immediately discern their identities.

"This"

"The details of Lord Jingni and Lord Yanri are beyond our knowledge, but I can swear that they did indeed act together back then."

Chen Xiuyuan stood there for a moment, pondering, without replying. If the situation was really as the other party said, then the simultaneous appearance of these two people might not be simply for the purpose of subduing the mountain stronghold.

There might be other arrangements involved, but he wasn't interested in those things; after all, it was just a power struggle.

"My lord, there is one more thing that might interest you."

The man in black lowered his voice unconsciously as he spoke.

Chen Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person, seemingly waiting for the other person to give the answer.

"The Xiongnu raided the border, and Li Mu withdrew. This matter has already been learned by Chancellor Lü. In order to avenge the humiliation of that year, Chancellor Lü..."

The sound abruptly stopped, and a short sword appeared in the black-clad man's hand. Then, with lightning speed, he rushed towards Chen Xiuyuan.

"Go to hell!"

Looking at the boy who was almost within reach, a cold smile crept onto the man in black's lips.

Chen Xiuyuan stared at the approaching assassins from the Luo Wang organization, his eyes slightly widening as a wave of energy swept outwards.

The world was once again stripped of its color.

"This is the loss of heaven and earth in the Taoist Heavenly Sect."

Seemingly recognizing Chen Xiuyuan's methods, the man's heart surged with turmoil as he looked at the calm and collected young man before him.

The information about Tian, ​​Sha, Di, Jue, Chi, Mei, Wang, Liang, and Yan Ri and Jing Ni is not something that the latter four levels can know. He is the leader of these four people and is ranked in the "Jue" category.

At his level, he could already access some of the secrets of various sects in the martial arts world.

Taoism is divided into two schools: the Heavenly School and the Human School. The "loss of color in the world" is the ultimate skill of the Heavenly School. The power of these skills varies from person to person. Only when one's internal energy cultivation reaches a certain level can these skills unleash a despair-inducing force.

The person in front of us is just a teenager, yet the power of his "World-Shattering Colors" technique can easily freeze a space within a radius of several hundred meters. Such internal skill is probably beyond the reach of even the "Heaven" level experts of the Luo Net.

Chen Xiuyuan gently clenched his fist, and the three assassins' eyes bulged out as they died instantly.
