"I've always had an ominous premonition."

After much contemplation, he thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that Gu Tianzhen doesn't want to use these assassins to kill me, but rather to test my strength with their lives?"

He did not have enough evidence for this hypothesis, so it was imprudent to jump to conclusions.

He made arrangements for Yan Chunxue and had the female assassin follow her to ensure her safety.

A day later, when Wu Wencai learned that the female assassin was protecting Yan Chunxue, he gasped in shock. His eyes flickered, and he decided to find the female assassin to confirm something.

On the same day, he led a group of elders to the residence of Yan Chunxue.

Despite the female assassin and Yan Chunxue's valiant resistance, the strength of Wu Wencai and the elders far exceeded theirs, and they also had the advantage in numbers.

Soon, Yan Chunxue and the female assassin were captured by Wu Wencai and the others.

Wu Wencai immediately summoned people from the assassin organization to check the mental state of the female assassin.

Shortly after, someone from the assassin organization told Wu Wencai that the female assassin had been controlled by Duan Gujin and was now obedient to the one controlling her.

Upon learning this, Wu Wencai's complexion changed drastically, and he was shocked.

"I didn't expect Duan Gujin's Divine Soul control to be so formidable!"

In order to uncover more of the truth, this time, he used his Divine Sense to enter Yan Chunxue's memories to examine them.

An hour later, he learned how the feud between Duan Gujin, Yan Chunxue, and others like Zhu Xiao and Luoluo had arisen.

He was now certain that the deaths of Zhu Xiao and Luoluo were undoubtedly related to Duan Gujin.

However, he did not find any clues related to his son's death in Luoluo's memories.

"I think my son must have been killed by him. In the Blood Killing Sect, only he possesses such defying abilities!"

Wu Wencai took a deep breath and then proceeded to examine the memories of the female assassin.

After reading the memories of the female assassin, he learned the whole process of Duan Gujin's Divine Soul control over her.

"So, he first has someone ingest an Elixir Pill and after others' Divine Souls are shattered, he proceeds with the Divine Soul control! Such a formidable tactic!"

Having witnessed Duan Gujin's methods firsthand, a cold light flashed in Wu Wencai's eyes, and he immediately thought of how he could deal with Duan Gujin.

"As long as I capture him and force him to hand over those Elixir Pills and his staff, I can then control his Divine Soul and read his memories! Once I've read his memories, I can find out if he really killed my son. If it turns out he did kill my son, then I will take his life to avenge my child! If it wasn't him, then I will still take his life and seize those treasures from his hands."

Wu Wencai decided to mimic the tactic; he personally shot a Flying Knife towards Duan Gujin's gate, informing Duan Gujin that Yan Chunxue and the female assassin were in his hands.

At the moment Wu Wencai captured the female assassin, Duan Gujin knew she had been apprehended.

"So that Martial Emperor Realm expert only acted now. What could the intentions of that Martial Emperor expert be?"

When he saw the note on the gate, he realized that the Martial Emperor Realm expert was coercing him to go to Wangfeng Pavilion again.

If he did not go to Wangfeng Pavilion, Yan Chunxue and the female assassin would lose their lives.

Duan Gujin's eyebrows furrowed tightly upon seeing this threat.

He really wanted to know who was plotting against him in secret; all he could deduce was that the person scheming against him was a Martial Emperor Realm expert.

"That person came prepared; it seems my previous prediction was correct. No wonder I felt it was so strange before. It turns out that all those assassins were merely testing my strength! The Martial Emperor Realm expert just wanted to test my true power."

But after much thought, he could not come up with any solution.

"Unfortunately, Elder Wan has gone out!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath; he had finally decided to attend the appointment in person, as he wanted to know who was plotting against him behind the scenes.

"If I can't rescue Yan Chunxue today, I've done my best!"

Then he proceeded towards the direction of Wangfeng Pavilion once again.

This time, he had imbued five Flying Knives with Hell Ice Flower essence.

Upon arriving in front of Wangfeng Pavilion, he spotted a person inside with a covered face.

Seeing Duan Gujin's arrival, the person released their Qi.

Feeling the stranger's Qi, Duan Gujin's heart clenched.

"So, it turns out to be a Martial Artist at the Eighth Level of Martial Emperor!"

The enemy's strength far exceeded his expectations, putting him in a dilemma.

Meanwhile, kneeling beside that enemy on the ground were two people.

Although both were hanging their heads low, Duan Gujin surmised from their attire that they were very likely Yan Chunxue and the female Assassin.

But even if the enemy did allow him to take away the two people kneeling on the ground, Duan Gujin was unable to ascertain if they were not impostors set up by the enemy.

"Duan Gujin, come here. I came here to meet you today just to find out about some things," said the masked person suddenly.

Hearing the masked person's call, Duan Gujin's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He remembered the methods of the Blood Killing Sect; he knew that the powerful foe before him could read a Martial Artist's memories and thus learn about the Martial Artist's past.

Why the powerful enemy in the realm of Martial Emperor covered their face, he guessed that the person surely didn't want to be recognized by him.

"That powerful foe is very likely an Elder from the Blood Killing Sect, but who exactly is it."

Duan Gujin was filled with doubts.

His eyelids flickered rapidly a few times before he shouted at the masked person.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

The masked person released their Divine Sense, confirming there were no experts following Duan Gujin before they heaved a sigh of relief.

"Have you heard of Wu Wenhua?"

The masked person inquired tentatively.

Hearing the question, Duan Gujin's heart pounded fiercely; he originally thought that the Martial Emperor Realm expert would inquire about Zhu Xiao, Luoluo, or Gu Tianzhen, but unexpectedly, the masked person ended up asking him if he had heard of Wu Wenhua.

"I've heard of this person. Last time, an Elder from the Blood Killing Sect read the memories of us Inner Sect Disciples to find the murderer, but I heard that up to now, the people from the Blood Killing Sect still haven't found the killer."

Duan Gujin responded.

"Since you've heard of Wu Wenhua, that's good. You don't need to know my true identity. I was once good friends with Wu Wenhua but now that he's dead, I must find out the truth."

The masked person said indifferently.

"You are Wu Wencai, Wu Wenhua's father, aren't you? I just want to know, since you want to find the Assassin who killed your son, then why don't you just go look for them? Why come to me?"

Duan Gujin probed.
