Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

"Proceed immediately to our designated assembly point to participate in the assassination of Lynch."

Sima Shang did not raise any objections, as the operation had already been meticulously planned.

If Gai Nie takes action, those involved from the Zhao state will include Sima Shang.

As one of Zhao's generals, Sima Shang's martial arts skills had reached the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Moreover, he was also Li Mu's important deputy!

However, Li Mu could not leave the camp.

First, they needed to prevent the Xiongnu from invading the south; second, they had learned that Fan Yuqi of Qin was preparing to attack the border of Zhao.

Although their strength is slightly lacking among the many famous generals, they still need to be vigilant.

Therefore, participating in an assassination under such circumstances would expose the entire front to extreme risk.

So Li Mu told Sima Shang:

"Do you understand?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Sima Shang quickly left to prepare for his mission.

Li Mu, left alone in his tent, fell into deep thought.

After some thought, his eyes suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This opportunity may lure Fan Yuqi into leading his troops in a preemptive attack."

"Then, they launched a swift counterattack, annihilating the enemy and the Qin soldiers in one fell swoop."

Once Fan Yuqi is defeated, it is expected that Qin will likely cease further incursions in the near future, which will greatly alleviate the pressure on Zhao.

When the idea of ​​this plan becoming feasible was realized,

Li Mu waved his hand and shouted, "Send someone to deliver the order!"

Turning to the other side of the story, we arrive in the State of Wei.

The capital was Daliang.

The once powerful state of Wei suffered a significant weakening of its military strength due to the death of Wei Wuji at the hands of the enemy, particularly with a dwindling number of high-ranking martial arts masters within its ranks.

However, because Wei Wuji had once founded a sect called the Armored Warriors Association, the sect continued to obey the orders of King Wei after his death and participated in the planning of this joint operation!

At that very moment, the headquarters of the Armored Warriors Association was filled with elite members of various sects, including the association leader Wei Zhong and his two capable assistants, Dian Qing and Mei San Niang, all of whom were grandmasters with profound martial arts skills.

Wei Zhong held a new secret intelligence document in his hand, his eyes gleaming:

“We’ve received accurate intelligence that Gai Nie is out on missions.” Upon hearing this, Dian Qing’s eyes lit up: “This means that Gai Nie is planning to take action against Lin Qi?” “Then Master, what should we do?” he asked eagerly.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Zhong decided, "Let's proceed according to the plan."

"You and Mei San Niang will each lead a portion of elite forces to participate in the operation!"

As one of the most powerful sects in the Wei Kingdom, the Armored Warriors Society occupies an important position in the Wei Kingdom, and Wei Zhong himself has even reached a level of power that surpasses the limits of human beings.

Unfortunately, he was unable to leave the long-abandoned Daliang City in person and could only send two of his most outstanding students to participate in this important mission.

However, the strength of these two apprentices should not be underestimated.

Dian Qing is a powerful figure at the peak of the fourth level of the Grandmaster realm.

His martial arts are known for their extreme ferocity; his body is as solid as a rock wall, and his strength is immense and unparalleled!

In the State of Wei, he was known as "with a head of bronze and shoulders of iron, invincible and unharmed"! Even when facing a master of the Heavenly Rank, he had the strength to contend with them.

Mei San Niang is at the third level of the Grandmaster realm.

Although she also cultivates extremely powerful energy, she is more agile and quick than her senior brother Dian Qing.

She is not only impenetrable in defense, but also unique in her flexible attack techniques.

"Dianqing, in this mission, you must follow Mei Sanniang's instructions and not act rashly." "Mei Sanniang, this plan will be led by you!"

"Yes, Master!" Mei San Niang nodded vigorously upon hearing the order.

Dian Qing, on the other hand, slightly curled the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat unwilling.

In terms of actual strength, he was superior to Mei San Niang. However, his master was worried that he lacked composure and decided to appoint Mei San Niang as the leader of this operation.

Even though he was dissatisfied, Dian Qing did not dare to disobey his master Wei Zhong, and quickly nodded in response: "Understood, Master!"

Wei Zhong, the leader of the Armored Sect, nodded and said, "Then let's set off now and get there as quickly as possible." The two replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"

The two then strode away from Wei Zhong's sight with firm steps.

** To the State of Yan,

The capital was the ancient city of Jijing!

Inside the mansion at this time,

Yan Chunjun's expression was serious, and his gaze was as cold as ice.

"Lin Qi!!"

He asked, puzzled, "The Qin Dynasty is already so powerful, why would such a top expert appear? Is it really necessary to push our six aristocratic families to the brink of destruction?"

On the desk in front of him lay a secret report, the cover of which featured a clearly drawn portrait of a person.

This man possessed eyes as sharp as knives and eyes as bright as the stars and moon, and his demeanor was exceptional—he was none other than Lin Qi, the leader of the Black Ice Guard!

"This man named Lin Qi must be eliminated, no matter the cost." Yan Chunjun's words were cold and resolute, but then she suppressed her anger and expressed concern: "A day has passed, and we still haven't received any news about Gai Nie?"

Gai Nie played a key role in this series of assassinations.

Although his intervention was not absolutely necessary, only when he took action would the sages of the other six clans and the Hundred Schools be willing to unite and launch a surprise attack on Lin Qi!

If Gai Nie hadn't taken the initiative, the major clans would have been suspicious of each other and wouldn't have sent envoys on their own.

Right now,

There was a sound of footsteps.

A powerful figure walked in; this was none other than Jueying, the most powerful expert under Yan Chunjun! In addition, he also had a hidden identity—a member of the dark organization Luo Wang.

Apart from a few insiders like Zhao Gao, the outside world knows nothing about this person's true identity.

Upon entering the room, Jueying immediately reported, "Sect Master, definite news has arrived."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Yan Chunjun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Has Gai Nie made any moves?" Jueying coldly replied, "Gai Nie has already left Xianyang City of Qin."

"That's great!" Yan Chunjun's eyes instantly lit up with hope.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered, "Immediately issue the order that Big Hammer and Qin Wuyang take immediate action and launch an attack on Lin Qi!"

The so-called "Big Iron Hammer" refers to a powerful warrior under the command of Yan Yi, a general of the Yan army, who possesses the third-level Grandmaster rank.

He possesses immense strength and is extremely powerful in combat, unafraid even against Grandmaster-level opponents five levels above him.

Qin Wuyang is the son of Qin Kai, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. He is exceptionally talented and has achieved remarkable success in the art of assassination, reaching the fourth level of Grandmaster cultivation.

This duo was a powerful force specially dispatched by the Yan family to deal with Lin Qi.

Why didn't Lord Yanchun send his most powerful subordinate, Jueying? The reason is actually quite simple: he himself was too afraid of death and feared that without Jueying's protection, he would have no one to shelter him in case of danger.

Despite being under the control of the Yan royal family, Lord Yanchun could still act tyrannically within the Yan state by virtue of his family's power.

However, there are also many enemies in his territory.

Jing Ke, the foremost knight-errant of the Yan state, had repeatedly expressed strong dissatisfaction with certain matters.

Although Jing Ke never explicitly expressed any intention to kill the other party, he dared not let his guard down for safety reasons.

Therefore, for safety's sake, Jueying should not leave. If Jing Ke arrives, Yanchunjun may face a serious threat.

"Wait!" Yan Chunjun seemed to have thought of something, and a question appeared on his face.

He looked at Jueying and asked, "Didn't Jing Ke always portray himself as a chivalrous knight-errant, often standing up for others and helping those in need of justice?" "He was acquainted with Yan Dan before, so why didn't he intervene when Lin Qi was attacked this time?"

Upon hearing this, Jueying replied, "Master, according to the information we have received, Jing Ke is currently in seclusion, attempting to improve his cultivation level."

"In seclusion for cultivation?"

This news brought a look of surprise to Yan Chunjun's eyes.

It turns out that Jing Ke has always been known as the strongest man in the Yan Kingdom. If he goes into seclusion this time, his abilities will become even stronger.

Thinking of this, Yan Chunjun couldn't help but shiver, and fear arose in his heart.

"It seems we can no longer arbitrarily oppress the people or forcibly take away their daughters." "If we really incur Jing Ke's wrath, that could be a matter of life and death!"

Previously, during a visit to the Feixue Pavilion, he expressed interest in the character in the comparison—the Snow Maiden—intending to use his royal background to possess her.

However, Jing Ke happened to be there enjoying himself at the time.

When Jing Ke displayed his astonishing strength, Lord Yanchun immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and fled the scene without hesitation.

From then on, he was afraid of Jing Ke and never again showed any improper intentions toward Xue Nu.

As long as Jing Ke was nearby, he didn't dare to cross the line even slightly.

Because chivalrous figures like Jing Ke are usually solitary, free-spirited, and only follow their inner guidance.

Despite being a member of the royal family, once he angered Jing Ke, there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, he said, "Let's not talk about Jing Ke anymore."

"Go and inform Qin Wuyang and Big Hammer immediately!" "Understood!" Jueying responded and left quickly.

**Scene Transition**

At Feixue Pavilion, the premier art performance venue in the Yan Kingdom.

At that moment, in a courtyard, a man stood quietly.

This man was Gao Jianli, the foremost musician of the Yan Kingdom.

He possessed an encrypted letter.

The letter reads: Gai Nie has left Xianyang!

"This day has finally come! This is wonderful news!"

After reading the intelligence, Gao Jianli's eyes gleamed with excitement.

In the past, when Yan Dan was still active in the kingdom, he often visited this place.

As time went by, Gao Jianli became his friend.

However, Yan Dan was later sent to the Qin state as a prisoner of war as collateral, but the two still maintained frequent contact.

Recently, after hearing about the impact of a certain incident on Yan Dan, he felt as if he had suffered a huge blow and was deeply saddened by it.

He harbored extreme hatred for the person who caused the tragedy and vowed to take revenge himself!

Unfortunately, his own cultivation level was not high enough, and he did not have the power to directly confront the opponent.

A plan that came just two days ago brought him a new turning point.
