A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

The group randomly chose a direction and quickly disappeared under the cover of night.

Jingni watched them leave, her mind echoing the words Bai Yuan had spoken to her using his celestial voice transmission before departing.

"Being an assassin is not a long-term solution. I hope that when we meet again, you will no longer be a weapon of the Luowang organization."

Shortly after Bai Yuan and the others left, Jing Ni successfully used her internal energy to break through the acupoints that had been immobilized, regaining her ability to move.

She picked up the Jingni Sword, used it as a mirror, and gently touched her face.

Will we meet again?

She murmured softly, her eyes growing increasingly sharp.

She'll definitely take her things back next time they meet!

That guy Bai Yuan stole her mask!

At that moment, a hoarse voice drifted over.

"Jing Ni? You failed on your end too?"

Upon hearing the sound, Jingni turned around and saw a man dressed as a Qin soldier standing not far behind her. She immediately composed herself, hugged her sword, and knelt on the ground.

"Lord Yanri, it was my carelessness that prevented me from defeating him!"

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and waited quietly for Yan Ri to speak.

She had originally thought that Yan Ri would be angry about this, and was prepared to be punished by the organization.

But Yan Ri sighed.

"This time it's not your fault. The strength of the mission target has exceeded our expectations. You don't need to worry about this mission anymore."

Upon hearing Yan Ri's words, Jing Ni's face showed an expression of disbelief.

She had always thought that the mission of the Luo Wang was a fight to the death, but she never expected that Yan Ri would make her give up the mission.

However, before Yan Ri could finish speaking, Luo Wang, as a 007 organization that works year-round, would have another mission even if this one was over; there was no such thing as rest!

"News has just come from Xianyang. You now have an even more important mission. Your next target is Wei Wuji."

"Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji?"

"That's right, this mission is very important. You don't have much time left, so complete the objective as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Jing Ni accepted the task and then quickly left.

As soon as she left, Yan Ri could no longer maintain the dignified image he had in front of his subordinates, clutching his chest and panting heavily.

He had just suffered a considerable loss in his fight with Wuming, whose strength was far greater than he had previously investigated.

According to his estimation, unless three or more top-tier assassins are dispatched simultaneously, it would be good enough if they didn't kill the opponent, let alone be killed themselves.

Unfortunately, apart from the Six Sword Slaves, most of the top-tier assassins in the Luo Wang organization are lone wolves, which is why the Luo Wang organization rarely sends more than two top-tier assassins to carry out the same mission.

So the assassination attempt failed, and they had to put this mission aside and carry out another, more important one.

After the news that Luo Wang had obtained in Xinzheng was relayed back to the Qin state, it was quickly discovered that a famine was already on the verge of breaking out.

The Qin state needs a victory to alleviate the crisis.

Chapter 16 Opportunity to Choose

Since the carriage was destroyed, Bai Yuan and the others temporarily found a secluded and hard-to-find cave as their place of refuge.

Wuming was injured, and no matter what, he needs to be treated and healed.

Although he initially claimed that he was fine, the sword wounds were real, and Bai Yuan dared not be careless. Who knew if they would become infected or something else? If something went wrong because of this, that would be a real problem.

Being nameless is their guarantee of safety!

However, in this desolate wilderness, they had nothing, so everything had to be kept simple.

Fortunately, the Taoist mental techniques had a healing effect. After a period of effort, Bai Yuan had stopped the bleeding and then tore off some clean clothes and made a simple bandage with the scraps of cloth.

Looking at the wounds on Wuming's body, Bai Yuan was also somewhat moved.

They clearly didn't want to provoke anyone, but danger still came knocking, and they couldn't escape it no matter how hard they tried.

They were lucky this time; it was already a pleasant surprise that Jing Ni was so deeply affected by the [Emotional Sword Technique].

If it weren't Jing Ni who came to deal with Bai Yuan and his group, but some other top-tier assassin, Bai Yuan wouldn't be able to guarantee that the [Emotional Sword Technique] would have the same effect.

"Ugh!"

Bai Yuan became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.

There are too many dangers in this world; it's really not as good as the peaceful life of cultivating oneself on Mount Taiyi.

I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, and when I have nothing to do, I go looking for little fairies and occasionally cause some trouble. My life is leisurely and peaceful.

Unlike now, I've just entered the martial arts world, and before I've even gotten ahead of myself, I've already been assassinated twice.

Wuming, who was calming himself down, also heard Bai Yuan's sigh.

"Do you regret coming down the mountain?"

"Being hunted down like this has made me a little regretful."

Bai Yuan answered very frankly.

He was also very confused at the moment. Over the years, he had been living a carefree life under the protection of Taoism, and therefore lacked a goal in life, or rather, he had not yet found what he truly wanted to do.

He only went down the mountain on orders from his master, which is why he regretted it after the assassination attempt and got involved in the trouble.

Upon hearing this, Wuming guessed Bai Yuan's current predicament and smiled silently.

"Have you ever considered that even if you stay on Mount Taiyi, these kinds of things won't be few and far between? Conflicts won't stop coming just because you don't participate. You only see the Heavenly Sect as being detached from the world and independent, but how can the Heavenly Sect really be completely detached from worldly affairs and be detached from conflict? Even if you want to, would others be willing to?"

Bai Yuan remained silent, knowing that Wuming was right.

Taoism cannot truly achieve a state of non-contention with the world; intrigue, schemes, and all sorts of troubles are never lacking.

He didn't come into contact with them, but that's only because Chishongzi handled these matters; it doesn't mean these matters didn't exist.

As one of the leading schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought, Taoism has always attracted much attention, including from the rulers of various countries.

Would a truly ambitious person allow such a powerful force to go unchecked?

Obviously impossible!

"Then what should I do?"

After a long silence, Bai Yuan finally asked the question.

Wuming felt gratified after hearing this, at least Bai Yuan was willing to look for direction.

"Actually, you don't need to think too much right now, you have plenty of time."

In the meantime, go out and see more of the world, and find what you truly seek.

"However, there's one thing I need to remind you: whatever you want to do, you need sufficient power. This power doesn't just refer to force, but also to many other aspects. Only with sufficient power will you have the opportunity to choose!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will keep it in mind!"

Yes, whatever you want to do, you first need to have enough power yourself.

Even those who wish to live a carefree life are no exception.

Isn't being anonymous the best example?

He remained detached from worldly affairs and disputes, devoting himself entirely to learning and seeking the Dao.

However, he was still assassinated by the Luo Wang because of a sword. If Wuming did not have such powerful martial arts, would he still be alive today?

With such outstanding examples before him, he couldn't possibly emulate a descendant of the Li Tang dynasty who couldn't be helped even after three hundred years of cultivation.

Strengthening ourselves is the key!

Seeing that Bai Yuan had figured things out, Wuming was also very happy.

"Goo~"

Just then, a strange sound came from inside, and Lu covered his stomach with an embarrassed expression.

"That's true. I haven't eaten anything since last night, so it's normal to be hungry. Wait, I'll go find something to eat."

Bai Yuan smiled and patted Lu's head.

Nameless didn't stop them, but simply warned, "We don't know if the Luo Wang people have left yet, so be careful!"

"understood!"

Bai Yuan responded and went out with the peach blossom sword in hand.

He was so eager to find food not only to fill his stomach, but also because he remembered his occasionally useful affix system. If he could make another green-level food later, it might help Wuming recover from his injuries faster.

As for why they didn't just use the grilled fish cooked over a fire, there's no doubt that Wuming wouldn't eat it!

But Bai Yuan wandered through the mountains and forests, searching for a long time, but found nothing except a few mushrooms.

He had originally planned to settle for second best and see if there were any streams or rivers nearby, so he could catch a fish and take it home.

However, let alone fish, not a drop of water was seen.

"This godforsaken place is not only deserted, but we can't even find anything to eat?"

These few small shiitake mushrooms are hardly enough to eat.

Walking through the woods, Bai Yuan sighed that he wasn't having the best luck today.

Just then, he vaguely heard voices in the distance, so he immediately found a tree with dense foliage nearby and hid there.

"Could it be that there are still assassins from the Luo Wang organization who haven't left?"

He carefully put the small mushroom away, then picked up the peach blossom sword and stared in the direction from which the sound came.

The sound grew louder as it approached, and soon two figures appeared not far away.

There were only two women, one older and one younger, each carrying a basket on their back and holding a hoe in their hand.

Judging from their clothes and appearance, they are probably villagers from the neighborhood.
