Chapter 931: The Guillotines
"Fourth brother!" Thirteen's pupils shrank: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone was frightened and immediately came to the Fourth Master.
"Don't come over here."
The Fourth Master snorted hoarsely, wrapping his right hand tightly around his left hand, trying to hold on to the dark energy that had already turned into substance and was about to burst out of his palm in the next second. However, he collapsed to the ground due to the impact of the force.
Gradually, his muscles and bones could no longer bear so much pressure, and gradually a creaking sound was heard. The Fourth Master almost rolled on the ground in pain.
"You did a great job!"
Prince Zhi took a look from a distance and immediately rushed over: "Fourth Brother, how are you?"
The Ninth Master beside him wanted to pull Prince Zhi, but it was too late. The next second, Prince Zhi was bounced away the moment he touched the Fourth Master.
“Big Brother!”
The sudden change left everyone a little confused.
"Brother, are you okay? Fourth brother didn't allow us to get close. I wanted to pull you up, but I was too slow." The Ninth Master immediately went over and helped Prince Zheng of Zhi up together with the Eighth Master.
Prince Zhi waved his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "How did the fourth brother become like this? What is this black energy around him?"
"No one knows, but I'm afraid that Fourth Brother has been ambushed today."
Seeing that Prince Zhi was not seriously injured, the Ninth Master immediately went to guard the Fourth Master.
"Let's guard Fourth Brother first. Fourth Brother's skills are extraordinary, so maybe this won't be a disaster at this time."
Jiu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Let's keep the news secret for now. It's not good for Fourth Brother to be seen like this."
"Brother Nine is right. We still need to send more people to search Sister-in-law Four's place." Thirteen said.
The brothers quickly took out the charter and started to get busy.
The Prince of Zhi shifted his gaze to the Eighth Master who was farther away.
When the Eighth Master met the eyes of the Prince of Zhi, he felt a little aggrieved: "Brother, he didn't drink, it's not me!"
Prince Zhi: "I know, I just wonder who would do something to him."
The Eighth Master subconsciously shifted his gaze to the Fourth Master. After a moment of silence, he said, "Who knows? He must have offended too many people in his daily life."
As he said this, Mr. Ba's expression suddenly became stern: "Brother, could it be him?"
Prince Zhi also pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.
On the other hand, half an hour had passed by the time the Fourth Master gritted his teeth and temporarily suppressed the dark energy running rampant in his body.
"Old Ten..."
"Fourth brother, are you okay? You scared me to death." Seeing that Fourth Master finally looked clearer, with tears in his eyes, Tenth Master immediately went over to help him up: "Quickly go inform Ninth Brother and the others that Fourth Brother is awake."
The Fourth Master's eyes flushed red, but he suppressed it secretly. He let the Tenth Master help him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you found your little Fourth Sister-in-law?"
The Tenth Master shook his head. "Not yet. But, Fourth Brother, please don't worry. You're in such poor health right now, I'm afraid you need to take good care of yourself. Ninth Brother is already searching for Fourth Sister-in-law nearby. Thirteenth Brother is interrogating the criminals, and Eldest Brother and Eighth Brother are taking care of the wounded. You don't need to worry about anything."
"I'm fine. It's an old problem, not the first time. The pain will go away."
The Tenth Master was stunned for a moment: "Old problem?"
"Fourth brother! Are you awake?" At this moment, Master Jiu and Master Shisan also came into the room.
"Is it snowing outside?" The Fourth Master looked at their clothes and couldn't help frowning.
Jiu Ye pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, it was a heavy snowfall that completely covered up all the footprints. So far, I haven't found any trace at all. Could this Tan Luan also be a master?"
"Perhaps." The Fourth Master said, looking around, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Qi Shang."
"Fourth brother, who are you calling?" Tenth Master asked with a frown.
The next second, he noticed a figure appearing beside him.
"You, you, you...are you a human or a ghost? How did you suddenly run out?" Master Shi looked terrified.
They looked at each other without saying a word, and both of them looked unhappy.
The master actually called Qi Shang out.
At this moment, Qi Shang suddenly turned around, revealing his right hand, which was almost covered with weapons, and faced the back of the tent: "My lord, there is someone outside, it is... the Prince of Zhi. Do you want to kill him?"
Hearing what he said, Jiu Ye and the others subconsciously held their breath.
This person exudes a dangerous aura from head to toe. Even when he said he would kill the eldest brother, he acted as if he was eating and didn't care at all. The murderous aura seemed to be overwhelming.
The Fourth Master frowned and shook his head.
Qi Shang withdrew her hand calmly.
At the same time, Prince Zhi and the Eighth Master came into the house.
"Old Four, how are you?"
"It's okay, don't worry, big brother."
After the Fourth Master said this, he didn't hesitate to say anything and directly ordered, "Qi Shang, find her, at any cost."
Then, he took off a jade token from his waist and threw it into Qichang's hand.
Qi Shang took a look, and her cold and hard eyes finally showed some ripples: "My Lord..."
"go."
"I will obey my Lord's orders."
Qi Shang said this, blinked, and flashed out of the tent.
"That person... is Qishang? That totem..."
Prince Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and three words appeared in his head.
The Guillotine!
This is the most secretive sect in the martial arts world, and also the organization that causes the most headaches for the imperial court.
It's said that this organization specializes in taking on cases others wouldn't dare, whether it's murder or arson, bailing out a prisoner, or even paying for information—as long as there's money, they'll take it. Because of this, the organization has become as wealthy as a nation, and they control a vast intelligence network. Even the imperial court has tried to capture the ringleader for years, but they've been unable to find him. For years, all they knew was that the ringleader's name was Qi Shang, and that his right arm was severed; nothing else has been found.
Prince Zhi couldn't help but glance at his younger brother in front of him. His face was still a little pale, and he was stunned for a moment.
How many things is the fourth brother hiding from him?
No wonder he was so skilled in martial arts. No wonder he always had a murderous aura around him even when he was young.
So, this blood-dropping dart is actually his?
Looking at his younger brother, Prince Zhi couldn't believe it.
The person named Qishang just called Lao Si the master.
Prince Zhi clenched his fists.
How can he compare with such a fourth brother?
"Brother, do you know him? Fourth brother, who is that person? Qishang? Why does this name sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere." The Tenth Master frowned.
Jiu Ye also frowned as he listened. "Fourth Brother, can he... be trusted? Does he really have the ability to find Little Fourth Sister-in-law?"
The Fourth Master had almost recovered by this time, so he propped himself up and stood up.
"He's trustworthy, don't worry." The Fourth Master glanced at them and then at his brothers: "Old Nine, remember, Jiu'er and I are not together on this trip. If anyone really makes things difficult for you, remember to use force."
After hearing this, Jiu Ye and the others were stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Fourth brother, but your body..."
"I'm fine. Please be careful on this trip."
"Old Four, don't worry, I will take everyone back. You don't have to worry about what's happening in the capital."
Prince Zhi clenched his fists and said, "Qi Shang's affairs will never be known to the Emperor. Something happened to your carriage and Wen Jiu's carriage, and they both rolled off the cliff."
The Fourth Master met Prince Zhi's eyes for a long time before saying, "Brother, please protect them."
