“What kind of mess is this?”
The jaw muscles of Yu Shinfeng, the Shadowless Monk, twitched.
In the distance, there was a blaze of fire. The flames were burning terribly as if they were swallowing up the sky, while the acrid smoke was overturning the entirety of Chengdu.
The streets were full of poor people who had fled to escape the fire.
“Aigoo! What do we do with that?”
“Our house is all burned up.”
“Huhu…!”
The streets were full of the screams of the poor.
Lee So-ha frowned and asked,
“How did this happen?”
“There is something unusual going on.”
At that moment, a familiar man reached Yu Shinfeng’s eyes.
A swordsman who radiates a sharp aura from his skinny body. It was Gam Ilhae, the Bamboo Leaf Swordsman, one of the members of the Seven Stars. Even in the extreme confusion, Gam Ilhae was watching the situation with a cold sharp gaze.
The appearance of Gam Ilhae, as if looking for someone, drew Yu Shinfeng’s attention.
Yu Shinfeng was an experienced warrior. The moment he saw Gam Ilhae’s behavior that did not match the surrounding environment, he immediately knew that this incident had something to do with him.
Without realizing it, he followed Gam Ilhae. After that, Lee So-ha followed.
Lee So-ha’s eyes were twinkling.
Even this chaos was an object of curiosity to her because she had lived most of her life in a boring manner.
‘What on earth is happening?’
Lee So-ha felt her heart pounding.
She always dreamed of experiencing Jianghu’s romance. Wandering freely, creating meaningful friendship, sharing experiences and hardships, and dating a cool-looking warrior.
It is the usual form of imagination that most first-timers would dream of.
Yu Shinfeng looked at his niece with a worried expression for a moment.
Jianghu is not as romantic as Lee So-ha thinks it was. However, no matter how much he would tell her, if she can’t experience it for herself, it’s no use.
Yu Shinfeng sighed and followed Gam Ilhae.
Gam Ilhae looked around diligently, not knowing that Yu Shinfeng and Lee So-ha were following behind him.
The sharp gaze that flashed like a hawk was terrifying even from afar.
‘What are you looking for?’
Yu Shinfeng looked at the place Gam Ilhae’s gaze was headed. But he couldn’t find anything unusual.
The Gam Ilhae who Yushing Feng knew was not an easy man.
Although he was the sixth member of the Seven Stars, there were not many warriors who could be said to be much stronger than him in Hunan.
In particular, his bamboo-like sharp sword was rumored to be one of the strongest swords.Even Yu Shinfeng wasn’t confident of his victory if he faced Gam Ilhae in a head on confrontation.
He couldn’t help but wonder what Gam Il-hae was looking for.
Lee So-ha groaned.
“What is Mister Gam looking for?”
“Well. I’m curious too.”
“Whatever it is, it must be quite important. Otherwise, his eyes wouldn’t be full of life.”
“Can you feel his aura?”
“Of course! You’d be an idiot if you don’t notice when he’s already intensely searching like that.”
“Haha! That’s right.”
Yu Shinfeng looked at Lee So-ha and smiled.
He was glad about his niece’s sharp eyesight. In order to survive in Jianghu, the ability to read the opponent’s mind and eyes were essential.
In that respect, Lee So-ha’s keen eyes were enough to get a passing score.
That was then.
“Oh!”
Lee So-ha suddenly gasped.
“What is it?”
“Mister… I don’t see Mister Gam anymore.”
“What?”
Yu Shinfeng looked around.
Gam Ilhae, who was looking around with vigor until a while ago, was nowhere to be seen. It was only for a moment that he averted his gaze since he was conversing with Lee So-ha.
In that brief moment, the Gam Ilhae disappeared.
“What? Did he notice that we were chasing him so he ran away?”
Yu Shinfeng immediately shook his head. Gam Ilhae was not the kind of person who was afraid of anyone. He may be uncomfortable with Yu Shinfeng, but he is not the type of person who would be afraid to the point of avoiding them.
He hurriedly ran to the place where Gam Ilhae had disappeared.
“Let’s go together, Uncle!”
Lee So-ha ran following Yu Shinfeng.
The two soon arrived at the place where Gam Ilhae had disappeared. The two people who looked around let out a suppressed moan at the same time.
“What!”
“Keurgh!”
Lee So-ha covered her mouth with her hand as if she was about to vomit, while Yushing Feng couldn’t hide his astonished expression.
He was buried in a corner that could not be seen from where they had just been, like a crumpled piece of furniture. Gam Ilhae’s neck was cut long, and blood was flowing out. The absence of ups and downs in his chest meant that he had already stopped breathing.
“Oh, my! Wh, when?”
Yu Shinfeng muttered as he approached Gam Ilhae’s body.
It was only for a moment when he took his eyes off Gam Ilhae.
All he did was avert his eyes for a second while talking with Lee So-ha, but in that moment of distraction, Gam Ilhae had already been killed by someone.
Even with the body of Gam Ilhae in front of him like this, he couldn’t believe it.
Yu Shinfeng himself was a well-known expert in the Jianghu. Yet somebody managed to completely go unnoticed with his senses and took the life of Gam Ilhae.
Aside from deceiving his senses, he could not believe that Gam Ilhae had been attacked defenselessly. Judging from the condition of the body, it was clear that Gam Ilhae had lost his life without knowing how he died.
Jjubit!
He got chills down his spine and goosebumps spread all over his body.
“Is this even possible? I can’t believe that an expert of his level was able to be taken out so easily.”
The difference in force between Gam Ilhae and Yu Shinfeng was not that great.
If Gam Ilhae had been killed so easily, it would have been the same for him. Judging from the wounds of Gam Ilhae, it was clear that someone had made a surprise attack.
If so, then it was clearly the work of an assassin.
“How could there be such an assassin in the world?”
“Uncle?”
“It must be him.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“The man who turned Chengdu upside down recently”
“So the rumors about him were true?”
Lee So-ha made an expression of disbelief.
She had heard about the rumors of a man who had dealt with all the great sects in Sichuan on his own but she thought the rumors were exaggerated.
In fact, most of the rumors handed down through word of mouth are often inflated. So she thought it would be the same this time. So she didn’t really pay it any attention.
A deep shadow fell on Yu Shinfeng’s eyes.
