I hoped my guess was wrong, but it turned out I was right.
Blood Knife Hongji really appeared!
After I defeated a demon base on the edge of Jiujiang County, Blood Knife Hongji appeared.
People related to the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen discovered traces of Blood Knife Hongji.
He was really investigating those young geniuses and the circumstances after the death of the demons.
It’s a pity that even if I gave Xue Cheng a hint and asked him to search these areas, Xue Cheng’s prestige and reputation still made it difficult to mobilize a large number of people.
Even though Xue Cheng had repeatedly warned people to go, there were still not many experts from the Jinyiwei and Liushenmen who went.
Even under Xue Cheng's orders, they had hidden themselves very well, but this concealment was relative. In front of people at the Zhenqi and Zhenyuan realms, perhaps they could hide very well.
But in front of a master-level figure who has been hunted by the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guards for many years, everything is false.
Hong Ji took action and killed two teams of people from the Six Gates who were observing him.
The bloody sword sucked all the blood out of the two teams, and they became just skeletons.
It was not until a day later that I got the news. I saw Xue Cheng with an extremely ugly face at the Jinyiwei Hundred Households Guard Station.
His face was not only ugly, but also very pale, showing regret and pain.
Among the people he sent, one was his confidant, and another was his good friend, the Bronze Medal Constable of the Six Gates who had shone brightly alongside him in the Jianyi underground demon incident.
He was also a young hero, but now he had lost his former charm and was only a skeleton that could scare ordinary people.
Internally, the bounty on Blood Knife Hongji has been raised again.
But it still does not help the overall situation.
The dead will not come back to life, and Xue Cheng was very distressed.
I also feel uneasy in my heart, after all, the root of everything lies with me.
But because of this, I felt for the first time that the lack of reaction from the Book of Life and Death in my mind was a good thing, because I still had another chance, and many regrets and failures could be tried again.
I tried it with confidence and boldly, using myself as bait.
I destroyed another demon base that I knew about, and even continued to look for new clues through information channels related to the Jinyiwei.
My movements were quick and fairly fluid, but without much effect.
Because the other party was quite vigilant, I didn't find any trace of him in the following few times. I don't know whether he didn't come or he realized in advance that someone was investigating him, so he chose a more covert way to observe.
In fact, under the current circumstances, the more sensible situation is to actively choose to hide.
After all, Blood Knife Hongji also attracted the attention of the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so he had to choose to lie dormant for a while and did not dare to commit crimes openly and in a high-profile manner.
I can handle things more calmly and freely, improve my strength, and then find an opportunity to kill Blood Knife Hongji.
But sometimes people cannot rely entirely on rationality to do things.
Xue Cheng searched like crazy for traces of Blood Knife Hong Ji, working harder than the family of his deceased best friend.
Usually after the death of a member of an aristocratic family, his family will do their utmost to seek revenge, but it depends on the hands of the person who killed him. If he died at the hands of Blood Knife Hongji, the 77th on the blacklist, even an aristocratic family would be reluctant to start a war.
On the one hand, it is difficult to take revenge. After all, even the imperial court has not really caught him for so many years. On the other hand, the people on the blacklist are all crazy.
They think it is unlikely, but I think it is still certain.
I have confirmed that Blood Knife Hongji is very likely related to the demons of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. And to provoke Blood Knife Hongji to take action, it is not just possible to kill the demons.
We can also start from another aspect, that is the fetus in Ruihai's belly.
That chief clerk also has connections with another person suspected to be from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
Last time, I investigated the situation too deeply and found the direction of Yuan Bowen, which attracted the attack of Blood Knife Hongji, and I died under the shining blood knife.
And Xue Cheng seemed to have died at the hands of this man. Although there is not much evidence, I inexplicably feel that this is the case.
After all, evidence is needed to solve a case, and that is the business of the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen. I don't need such detailed evidence.
I informed Xue Cheng, using the identity of the Iron-faced Grandmaster.
Xue Cheng also acted according to my plan as he wished. He bet his own future and invited three masters to participate in the operation of capturing Yuan Bowen.
The entire action plan was set up in great detail, proactively sending people from the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate Yuan Bowen, and even deliberately leaving traces.
He also inadvertently pointed out that it was the team sent by Xue Cheng.
It is suspected that it is related to some of the information leaked by the characters involved in the Yuan Bowen and Jianyi underground demon incident.
Then, as expected, the big crisis came.
Blood Knife Hong Ji arrived in the darkness of the night and severely injured Xue Cheng with one strike.
This is because I helped in secret. Xue Cheng is stronger than I imagined, much stronger than when my future brother met him. Perhaps Blood Knife Hongji did not show his full strength at that time.
The hunt was a tragedy.
The bloody, bright light of the sword illuminated half of Jiujiang County, and the huge movement was terrifying.
The other party was determined to take action. At the same time, there were demons dancing in the river, and they also took advantage of the chaos to attack.
The evil spirit hidden in the shadows entangled a master, but Blood Knife Hongji fought against two of them alone and did not lose the upper hand.
Those who can be on the blacklist are extraordinary.
This time, I miscalculated.
Two master-level figures, one was seriously injured and fled far away, and the other died in this bloody battle.
The method of cultivation practiced by Blood Knife Hongji was extremely strange and evil, and it absorbed all the blood and energy of a grandmaster.
Then he turned back in the middle of the night and killed the seriously injured master with one blow when he let down his guard.
The entire Jiujiang County was shaken, and the Taoist master of Jiangnan West Road was furious.
The only living master who was not seriously injured did not dare to make a move at all, and immediately fled away when Blood Knife Hongji turned back.
Xue Cheng died in the aftermath of the battle.
I am deeply aware of the gap between the two sides.
This was a colossal failure.
But it's not a complete failure.
Because under the moonlight, I followed the footsteps of Blood Knife Hongji.
The living master believed that Blood Knife Hongji was unmatched, difficult to resist, and extremely terrifying.
Because Blood Blade Hongji can devour the essence and blood of others to recover his own injuries, but I can see the injuries that Blood Blade Hongji tried hard to hide.
