Chapter 789: 789
Chapter 789: All dead

“Chi!”

Blood splashed in all directions .

Chen Ning saw drops of blood falling to the ground . After that, with a peng sound, the black clothed person fell to the ground and there was a glowing flying dagger in his back .

“Ah Ning!”

Na Mu Cuo flew through the window and he nervously looked around, not seeing Chen Ning’s figure . His heart was about to jump out of his chest .

He loudly shouted again .

“Ah Ning, where are you?”

“I’m here . ” Chen Ning’s heart fell down and she crawled out from under the bed . She dusted her clothes and she looked down at the black clothed person .

The black clothed person was wearing a set of tight fitting night coloured clothes and was lying on the ground . His face could not be seen at all .

“Are you hurt? Are you alright?” Na Mu Cuo grabbed her shoulder and looked her over up and down . He found that she was not injured and let out a sigh of relief .

“I’m fine, have you caught the intruders?” She asked .

Na Mu Cuo nodded, but his face was very serious as he said in a deep voice, “But they’re all dead, not a single one was left alive . ”

After he said this, he leaned over the black clothed man on the ground . He took his pulse and said with a sigh, “He’s also dead . ”



“All dead?” Chen Ning took in a cold breath, “They were all killed by you?”

“They weren’t killed by me, they… . . all took poison to commit suicide . ” Na Mu Cuo shook his head . Na Mu Cuo reached out his foot and turned the black clothed person over . He took off the mask and revealed a normal looking face where there was black blood flowing from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose .

He knew that his flying dagger was not fatal as he said, “My blade did not have any poison . ”

Chen Ning nodded . She could see that this black clothed person knew he could not run, so he swallowed poison .

“Who are they?” She asked .

Na Mu Cuo considered it, “According to my estimation, they should be a well trained group of assassins, but my people have searched through them and haven’t found a single clue . I don’t know who sent these people at all . ”



“Didn’t find any clues?” Chen Ning suddenly pointed at the black clothed person’s leather boots and said, “I have found something . Look at the pattern on their boots, it’s a cloud . You can send people to look over the boots of all the black clothed people and if they have the same pattern, perhaps you can find their origins . ”

“Ah Ning, you truly are astute . You can actually even notice these small details!”

Na Mu Cuo was pleasantly surprised . He leaned over again and did find that cloud pattern .

Only the colours black and purple were quite similar . With the purple pattern on the black boots, if one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t have noticed it .

“Someone, go and look over the boots of those black clothed people, see if they have the same patterns!” He loudly ordered .

Someone immediately responded outside and quickly came back with a report .

“Your highness, every one of their boots had the same cloud pattern . ”



Na Mu Cuo nodded and ordered, “Have everyone guard the guest palace . If there is anyone who dares intrude, immediately kill them!”

Turning around, his face was already looking very ugly .

“You know the origin of these assassins, right?” Chen Ning saw his expression and could guess most things .

Na Mu Cuo did not respond and he just looked at her, with those deep, dark eyes not even blinking . He grabbed her hand and tightened his grip .

Chen Ning could feel that his palm was covered in a cold sweat .

He was afraid!

Why?
