1778: C1778

C1778

This sudden change was something that no one expected, including Nie Zhen. He looked at the middle aged man behind Yu Zuo in disbelief, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.

"Pu!" The middle-aged man retrieved the sword from Yu Zuo's body, and kicked him down onto the back of his waist, then after a moment of hesitation, he and the other middle aged man turned and quickly left.

"Murder, someone here is murdering ?" The people who were passing by could clearly see what was happening as they shouted. Not long after, more than ten civilians came walking over.

Nie Zhen finally regained his senses, he subconsciously placed the sword in his hand behind his back, and shouted at the crowd: "Why are all of you gathered here? Quickly go and capture those two assassins! "

Some commoners saw the direction in which the two middle-aged men had left. They pointed to an alley and shouted, "Which way does the assassin run?!"

The commoners were stunned for a moment, and then, one by one, they drew their swords and ran towards the alley where the two middle-aged men had disappeared into.

Nie Zhen did not chase after him. Instead, he quickly arrived in front of Yu Zuo, squatted down, and checked his injuries while pretending to be concerned: "Elder Yu, you ? How are you doing? "

The middle-aged man's sword was the fatal sword that pierced the heart, causing Yu Zuo to fall to the ground, his body twitching uncontrollably, his mouth opening and closing, as though he wanted to speak, but all he spat out was blood.

Nie Zhen was experienced, upon seeing the state of Yu Zuo's injuries, he could tell that he was hopeless, even the gods would not be able to save Yu Zuo now.

His heart dropped, but in his heart, he was also wondering, why did the two middle-aged men want to kill Yu Zuo? He didn't know the two of them, and they had no reason to help him!

Yu Zuo did not persist for too long, his body that was trembling intensely slowly became motionless, both his eyes opened wide, and he could not breathe. Under his body, fresh blood flowed and dyed the ground red.

Who would have thought that a dignified Divine Pool Elder would end up dying in unknown circumstances, without even being able to find out who the culprit was.

Yu Zuo's death was not a small matter, and it caused a huge uproar within the Divine Pool City.

The next day, in the elders' courtyard, the elders of Divine Pool were gathered together, and the focus of everyone's discussion was also on the matter of Yu Zuo being assassinated.

Gao Ge came late. He didn't come home at all last night, but stayed in the mansion to guard the spirit for the whole night.

After he entered the Great Assembly Hall, he did not return to his seat. Instead, he walked over to Nie Zhen and stood beside him, staring coldly at him.

At this moment, the people in the hall felt that something was wrong and gradually stopped talking. Their gazes uniformly landed on Gao Ge.

Nie Zhen, of course, also felt Gao Ge's overbearing gaze. He raised his head, looked at Gao Ge who was standing beside him, smiled indifferently, and cupped his hands. "Elder Gao."

"Did Elder Yu die because of you?" Gao Ge did not waste any more words and directly asked. Hearing his words, all the elders present gasped at the same time, and their line of sight shifted towards Nie Zhen.

Nie Zhen's heart trembled, his expression was still calm, and he said: "Elder Gao, do not speak nonsense, how could Elder Yu be killed by me?"

"Humph!" Gao Ge sneered and said, "Then how do you explain why the elder's corpse was outside your residence?"

Nie Zhen said with a serious expression: Right now, I am facing a great enemy with my Divine Pool, and I need all of us to unite, and I have matters to discuss with Elder Yu, thus I set up a banquet in the residence and entertained Elder Yu, hoping that we could resolve this grudge and turn this conflict into friendship. How could we know that Elder Gao was killed by an assassin the moment he stepped out of my house, how could Elder Yu say that I killed Elder Yu?

If Yu Zuo had not come looking for him, he would not have believed that it was Nie Zhen who had killed him. He did not believe that Nie Zhen would have the guts to do so, but the truth was already right in front of his eyes, and he had to believe it.

Gao Ge narrowed his eyes and faintly said, "I was just out of your house when I was killed by an assassin. Elder Nie, do you think that such a coincidence exists in this world? Furthermore, with Elder Yu's spirit power, how could two mere assassins be able to kill him? "

"After all that has been said, Elder Gao still doesn't trust me." Nie Zhen was also really aggrieved that he did not kill him, and he also did not know who the two people who killed Yu Zuo were.

He said seriously, "If I really wanted to harm the elder, why would I invite him to my own home? Why would I let him die in front of my own house? At that time, many of the people in the area had seen the two assassins that killed Elder Yu.

"Haha..." Gao Ge laughed out loud, angered. At the same time he laughed, the Spirit Pressure suddenly spread out, and in that moment, everyone in the meeting hall felt as if a hurricane was blowing, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.

Under Gao Ge's Spirit Pressure, Nie Zhen bore the brunt of the attack, and even his body that was sitting on the bed involuntarily tilted to the side.

"What a eloquent and eloquent Elder Nie, you actually pushed the matter clean, but you can deceive others, but not me. Today, I will give you justice to the elder!"

As he spoke, the Spirit Pressure he released became even richer, as he raised his hand and grasped the sword below his ribs.

"Gao Ge, don't go too far. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Saying that, Nie Zhen stood up straight, also releasing his Spirit Pressure, holding onto the sword hilt, he faced Gao Ge.2

The two of them were both Great Elders of the Divine Pool, both being Spiritual Martial Expert s at the peak of the Divine Pool. If they were to fight, it was really unknown what kind of outcome the fight would turn into, and the Great Assembly Hall, and even the entire elder's courtyard, would probably be destroyed by the two of them.

Seeing this, all the surrounding elders hurriedly walked forward and waved their hands, "Elder Gao, Elder Nie, please calm down, please do not be rash!"

Gao Ge and Nie Zhen's Spirit Pressure were becoming stronger and stronger, and the air between the two of them was already visibly distorted. Even the marble beneath their feet was making cracking sounds.

Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, Guang Han walked in.

He first looked at Gao Ge and Nie Zhen who were standing amongst the clan elders, and then bellowed: "What's going on? Elder Yu just got assassinated, what are all of you making a fuss here?! "

Hearing Guang Han's question, everyone shuddered, and then they cupped their hands and bowed together, and said: "Greetings, Holy King!"

When Gao Ge and Nie Zhen saw that Guang Han had heard it, they could only retract their Spirit Pressure. The hands on their swords also fell, bowing like the other elders.

Guang Han's gaze swept across everyone and asked, "Who can tell This King what exactly is going on here?"

The moment his words fell, Nie Zhen immediately said as if he had suffered a great grievance: "Holy King, Clan Elder Gao unreasonably accused this humble subject. He said that this humble subject had killed Clan Elder Yu, this humble subject is truly wrongly accused!"

Guang Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Ge, asking, "Elder Gao, is this true?"

"That's right!" Gao Ge said while looking straight at Guang Han. No matter how brave Nie Zhen was, if there was no one supporting him, he would not dare kill the elder. And the person who could support the Great Clan Elder, Nie Zhen, was only Holy King, he could only do so.

Gao Ge couldn't help but shake his head. Yu Zuo only suspected the identity of the Holy King, and it already made the Holy King this fearful, even willing to secretly harm him. What exactly was the Holy King afraid of? Could it be that it was as the Son of Heaven had said, was he really Guang Xuanling?

GuangHan listened and replied, "Elder Gao, many of the citizens here have proven that there was an assassin who ambushed Elder Yu. Elder Yu's misfortune has nothing to do with Elder Nie. If this duke's judgement is not wrong, that assassin must be a spy sent by Feng Country And Chuan Country to infiltrate my Divine Pool. His goal is precisely to harm the pillar of my Divine Pool, and he can also take this opportunity to sow discord between them. Elder Gao, you must not fall for the enemy's schemes, and elders, from now on, you must all be extra careful, and must not allow the assassin to take advantage of you. "

His words were reasonable and convincing. All the elders nodded and replied in unison, "Yes! This subject will follow the teachings of the Holy King! "

Gao Ge looked at the crowd's respectful attitude towards Guang Han and felt that it was both funny and sad. He felt that it was a pity for them too, for Yu Zuo and himself.

GuangHan didn't know what Gao Ge was thinking. Seeing him standing there with an uncertain face, he smiled and comforted him, "Elder Gao doesn't need to worry about this matter. I think Elder Nie won't blame you." After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Oh right, how is Elder Gao's preparation for the assassination going?"

Gao Ge lowered his head and said, "This official ? "I need more time."

"However, our Divine Pool does not have that much time to waste. If we wait until our Allied Army of Feng Country And Chuan Country is properly prepared and come to attack in a large scale, it would be too late for Patriarch Gao to assassinate us." Guang Han said quietly as he listened.

"Yes!" This subject understands. Within three days, this subject will make his move. " Gao Ge still lowered his head and said.

GuangHan nodded in satisfaction and said, "With Elder Gao's words, I am relieved. Oh, how many people does Elder Gao need?"

Gao Ge said, "I alone am enough without the help of others."

Hearing this, everyone present frowned. Gao Ge was alone, yet he wanted to kill Feng King and King Chuan, how could he do that?

Guang Han heard this and laughed, then shook his head and said, "Elder Gao, don't underestimate Feng King. Even if this duke were to personally go, it would still be difficult to kill those two!"

Gao Ge sternly replied: "Thank you for your reminder, Holy King. "I'm confident!"

"Oh?" Guang Han asked with a smile, "I wonder what kind of plan Elder Gao has?"

Gao Ge said: "Once this matter is completed, this subject will naturally explain it in detail to Holy King."

Guang Han did not pursue the matter further and nodded happily. He replied, "Alright, I will wait for Elder Gao's beautiful voice quietly. In three days." At the end of his sentence, he did not have the chance to remind Gao Ge of the three day deadline.
