However, he always felt this was almost impossible, because he believed that in this world, only the clan leader, Yun Yishang, could refine the power of the Yun clan to such a pure level. But...
Life vanished, and two hours later, the once vibrant person was reduced to a mere skeleton.
The man withdrew his hand from between his eyebrows and the black robe.
It was an extremely white hand, clearly one that had lived a life of luxury, so clean that it was untouched by the filth of the world. But who could have known that this hand had just so cruelly devoured a creature?
Then, the man walked to the desk, looked at the letter sealed with sealing wax, opened it, and took it out.
In just one glance, under the moonlight, a cold smile seemed to curl at the corner of his lips. Then, he found an envelope, sealed it, and put it into his sleeve as if it had never been opened. With a flick of his wide sleeve, something seemed to emerge, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
It was as if he had never existed.
The window was half-open, and the wind was blowing in from outside.
At that very moment, a dangerous group of people was heading towards the bamboo house.
"Second Prince, it's so late at night. If you really want to see this man in black robes, we can summon him. Why do you have to come here in person?"
After the horse was ridden first, someone advised him against it.
The man in the lead had handsome features and a striking resemblance to Nan Lingqin. He was dressed in a jade-colored brocade robe, exuding an air of noble elegance.
"Bei Rong has suddenly encountered such a change, and the Black Robe must be concerned. Since Father cannot come looking for him, I must come myself."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the visitor withdrew, and before long, the group had already arrived at the entrance of the bamboo house courtyard.
Before they even got close, the Second Prince's expression suddenly changed. He rushed into the house, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around in mid-air and retreated abruptly.
However, in that instant, a sudden change occurred.
The bamboo house suddenly burst into flames, and the fire spread so quickly that no one could stop it.
When the second prince of Beirong, the second elder brother of Nanlingqin, Nanxingji, ordered his men to extinguish the fire, the sky was dim, and the blackened corpse inside the house had already turned into a charred corpse.
Nan Xingji's face was dark and gloomy, and the crowd below him also changed their expressions drastically.
"Your Highness, we've investigated. It wasn't kerosene; it was likely deliberate. It was flint powder, floating in the air. We just happened to walk close when it exploded. The timing was impeccable. If Your Highness hadn't dodged so quickly, I'm afraid we would be in serious trouble right now..."
The person who came spoke with lingering fear.
"I think the other party is trying to lure you here, Second Prince, perhaps..."
"no."
Nan Xingji was incredibly perceptive. He waved his hand at the person who reported, his starry eyes slightly darkening. "The black-robed man didn't have a single wound on his body, but you should all have heard of his martial arts skills. Moreover, he also possessed the unique techniques of the Yun Clan. He wouldn't have died like this... It's clear that the other party not only wanted to kill him, but also very likely wanted to cover up the cause of his death."
"Covering up the cause of death?"
He was filled with suspicion and puzzled, wondering, "Why?"
"If people find out about the black-robed man's death, it might be detrimental to the perpetrator."
After finishing his speech, Nanxingji immediately ordered his men to take the black-robed body away, and everyone left in an instant.
