Chapter 438: Sword Fiend Dugu

Ji Yue and his team were defeated and lost in Lu Bei's small world, with no spectators around. Even Xinli Monarch, who was the closest to the crime scene, was not sure whether they truly died or not.

Zhu Heng rushed to the Songxu Palace, but he couldn't find the initial crime scene and saw only half-dead men in black.

"Inexperienced people end up making mistakes that I have to clean up….Did he do it on purpose? But what good would goading Qi Yan bring to him? Threatening Qi Yan and isolating Qingqian Heavenly Sword Sect? I shouldn't underestimate Qi Yan. That boy wouldn't be so foolish."

There were too few clues for Zhu Heng to sort out at once. All he knew was that the opening of the Yiliang Secret Territory was fast approaching and it was not a time for complications.

He summoned the disciples of the Imperial Sect within Songxu region, disguised as men in black to carry on their activities, creating the illusion of an intensely active intelligence collecting operation.
