Six people like that suddenly appeared and from Dugu Wuji's tone, he was not in the same group as those people.
Sun Tie used his sword to pry open the black cloth over masked man's face. After observing it carefully for a while, he asked Nangong Ze and Nangong Tie who were beside him, "Have you seen these people before?"
"Nope."
Nangong Ze and Nangong Tie shook their heads at the same time. They were both unfamiliar faces that they had never seen before.
"In Tianwu City, a person who has strength at the eighth or ninth level of the Natal Opening Realm to the second or third level of the Guiyuan Realm, it's impossible that he doesn't have any fame at all, right?" Guo Nan asked lightly.
Nangong Ze said, "It is indeed impossible, but I have never seen these people before. I can be sure that they are not from the Eight Great Family s, nor are they Royal Family's people."
"There's also not going to be someone from the Maple Leaf Merchant Guild. There's only one possibility."
Guo Nan thought about the killers he encountered in his Tianwu Academy team's journey to the Demonic Beast mountain range.
The two killers were people that called themselves Shadow Flow.
"Your Highness, do you know of an organization called Shadow Flow?" Guo Nan asked.
Hearing that, Nangong Ze's face changed slightly: "Shadow Flow? You suspect that they are from the Shadow Flow? "
"It is not suspicion, but certainty. They are all people from that organization. I was assassinated by Shadow Streamer, hired by Dugu Wuji. Presumably, these people were also hired by Dugu Wuji to help out. The person you sent to throw the dirt was found by Dugu Wuji last night. He probably sensed that something was going to happen, so he invited the people from Shadow Flow over to act as a temporary protection umbrella. If it wasn't for Grandma Lin, our plan this time would not only have failed completely, it would also bring about a war disaster to the Heavenly Empire. "
Nangong Ze's face turned serious: "Nan Shao, Shadow Flow is the biggest assassination organization in Heavenly Empire. They take money and work hard, and normally do not come into contact with any forces. But we can all contact the subordinates of the Shadow Flow. Whoever they want to kill, state their names, ask for the price, and pay them. Those Shadow Flow's spies will report the news to them. "
"Do you mean that as long as we follow those people, we will be able to find the real Shadow Flow's people?"
"In theory, it's true, but we've tried it a few times and failed in tracking them. Those people are very cunning, and they are well versed in the art of disguising themselves. Once they merge with the crowd, they'll quickly disappear." Nangong Ze explained.
Guo Nan nodded slightly and said: "Since that's the case, then there's no need to care about these people. With Dugu Wuji dead, Shadow Flow will not deal with me anymore."
Guo Nan was worried about getting assassinated often. Although he was confident, there were too many flies, and it was always annoying.
When Guo Nan finished speaking, one of the six Black Man's men said, "Your Excellency, since you have guessed our identities and we have not caused you much harm, then we will not interfere in the affairs of others. What do you think about us meeting each other in the future?"
"Your kneecaps are all broken, can you still walk?" Guo Nan asked lightly.
"Don't worry, as long as you let us go, Shadow Flow won't accept any more assassination missions from you in the future, how about it?"
"His Highness the Fourth Prince, Shadow Flow has never offended any of you, Royal Family, and has never killed any of them. You are aware of this."
Black Man looked at Guo Nan and Nangong Ze, and finally his gaze stopped on Guo Nan.
He could tell that Nangong Ze was mainly focusing on Guo Nan this time.
Nangong Ze looked at Guo Nan, waiting for his reply. He didn't care whether he killed or not, it all depended on Guo Nan's decision.
Guo Nan squinted his eyes and sized up the six Shadow Streamer, suddenly he chuckled and said: "Your Shadow Flow, not only collects money to kill people, but also collects money to protect people?"
"That's right. If the price is suitable, we will do anything other than killing Royal Family."
Hearing this, Nangong Ze's heart felt light. The strength of Royal Family was not something that the other eight Family could compare to. Although it seemed like the power and influence of the eight Family s were very high, in reality, within the Heavenly Empire, Royal Family's power was the best. Just within the Tianwu Academy, Royal Family had always been suppressed by the various great Family and could not grow strong.
Guo Nan nodded and said, "Alright, you can all go die now."
Finished speaking, Guo Nan waved his sword a few times and beheaded all six of them.
Nangong Ze and Nangong Tie were stunned as they watched the scene. It was reasonable that they should let these people go.
They were shocked as they stared at Guo Nan. They couldn't understand, why did it feel like Guo Nan was letting them go, it was also the best choice not to offend the Shadow Flow. However, Guo Nan went the other way and attacked quickly and ruthlessly, causing them to be greatly taken aback.
"Nan Shao, it won't do you any harm to let them go, right? They promised not to take up the task of assassinating you. And why are you doing this? "
Nangong Ze asked Guo Nan.
Guo Nan looked at the six corpses and sneered, "Your Highness, you are still too inexperienced. These people are all characters that lick blood from the blade. Do you really believe their words? Now that Dugu Wuji is dead, it's hard to say if there will be another Dugu Wuji that wants to kill me. At that time, they will still take action. The so-called 'not going against me' was just a temporary measure. It must be true. Six strong person dead in one go, I think that Shadow Flow wouldn't be able to bear this kind of loss, for the next period of time, they would hide and not dare to deal with me. By the time they had recovered, I would have already left the Heavenly Empire. I will be safe if they were to leave with their little power. "
"Isn't it more worthwhile to kill them all? It's good for you, too. Do you understand the principle of going back on your words? "
Hearing Guo Nan's words, Nangong Tie sighed, cupped his fists towards Guo Nan and walked out of the secret room to clean up the mess in Dugu Mansion. He was already thoroughly impressed by Guo Nan.
Guo Nan's meticulousness, viciousness, and scheming were all things that were rarely seen in his life. Dugu Wuji, Dugu Long and the rest were killed, and they even carried the notoriety of plotting to usurp the position of the Emperor. All of this was because of Guo Nan.
"Nangong Ze will follow this fellow. As long as he is willing to help, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get the throne!" Nangong Tie was suddenly enlightened.
Nangong Ze looked at the six corpses thoughtfully.
The death of Dugu Wuji and Dugu Long caused a huge uproar in Tianwu City. As for the rest of Seven Great Families, they all tried to find out who gave the order. The results that they were able to obtain, were something they simply couldn't believe.
It was not Kaiser who wanted to deal with Dugu Wuji and Dugu Long, nor was it the faction of Dugu Family that Royal Family loathed, it was Guo Nan!
Guo Nan brought Nangong Ze along with General Nangong Tie to the battlefield. The Maple Leaf Merchant Guild's Grandma Lin served as a sharp knife, and with the Dragon Robe and Python Robe and Imperial Jade Seal as evidence of his crimes, he took down the Dugu Family.
Nangong Ze's reputation flourished, and many people secretly speculated that the Maple Leaf Merchant Guild was also with Nangong Ze.
Guo Nan became infamous and became an existence he could not afford to offend. Seven Great Families knew that the messenger of Dugu Family was Guo Nan.
Three days later, Young people, who was dressed in a black robe and red cloak, led a group of people and entered the Dugu Mansion.
