"The mastermind has yet to appear, how can this be possible?"
Duan Gujin did not act rashly, as he considered a possibility.
"Could it be that from beginning to end, this is all Gu Tianzhen's conspiracy? He has set up a Killing Array within Wangfeng Pavilion, and the mont I rush in to rescue Yan Chunxue, the Killing Array will activate and then both Yan Chunxue and I will be bombarded and killed by the Killing Array. As long as both of us die, there will be no evidence left. This plan is full of mistakes! What exactly is Gu Tianzhen's purpose?"
Duan Gujin thought that since Gu Tianzhen was able to employ a Martial Emperor Realm expert to work for him, it would be natural for him to have that expert lying in wait, ready to strike at in the end!
"The only real threat to is that Martial Emperor Realm expert! Could it be that this murderous trap is not the doing of Gu Tianzhen, but rather the handiwork of that Martial Emperor expert?"
He pondered for a while and felt that this possibility was very high.
However, by this ti, his Divine Sense had already scouted out everything within several kiloters and he could not find anyone lying in ambush nearby.
He had pushed his Spiritual Power to the extre, and at this mont, his Spiritual Power was incredibly strong, even capable of directly penetrating Arrays that shield against Divine Sense Inspection and clearly viewing the scenes inside.
"Could it be that I've arrived too early and that Gu Tianzhen is actually not here yet?"
After so thought, he eventually ca to this speculation.
This was the only possibility that could reasonably explain why Gu Tianzhen was not here.
A while later, with a flash in his eyes, Duan Gujin walked towards Wangfeng Pavilion.
While advancing, he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest; his Divine Sense reached out, scanning all the movents in the vicinity into his perception.
When he was only three hundred ters away from the Wangfeng Pavilion, suddenly, he noticed that a large group of people had abruptly appeared nearby.
These individuals charged towards him with killing intent, each holding a Longsword, their approach ferocious.
Duan Gujin stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.
"Could it be that Gu Tianzhen is actually just trying to intimidate with these fifty-odd people, so as to provoke into the Killing Array they've laid out at Wangfeng Pavilion under stress?"
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense extended out, and soon, he confird sothing—the fifty-odd Martial Artists who had appeared outside had Cultivation levels at the Martial Sect Realm, and they each practiced their cultivation in different ways, with the majority not possessing Blood Evil Qi.
Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up—he was certain that most of those fifty-odd people he saw were not mbers of the Blood Killing Sect; they were highly likely to be Assassins hired by Gu Tianzhen.
"Could it be that Gu Tianzhen simply wants to use those fifty-odd people lurking outside to intimidate with their presence, and in my urgency, to then imdiately rescue Yan Chunxue from the Wangfeng Pavilion? If he really thinks this way, all I can say is, 'Ha!' Besides, I can't even be sure if the person tied to the pillar is Yan Chunxue. Does he really think I will act rashly? He underestimates too much!"
After so thought, he felt that Gu Tianzhen's conspiracy was full of errors.
He took a deep breath, his body turned into a shadowy figure, and disappeared on the spot.
The fifty-odd Assassins behind him extended their Divine Sense, their eyes widened as they surveyed their surroundings, making every effort to find Duan Gujin.
But after a while, they still did not discover Duan Gujin's whereabouts.
Although those Assassins could not find Duan Gujin, after hesitating for a mont, they still charged towards the location of Wangfeng Pavilion.
They knew clearly that Duan Gujin was going to rescue the person tied up inside.
As long as they charged forward, they would still co across Duan Gujin.
Just as they thought, at this mont, Duan Gujin had already turned into a streak of light, rapidly rushing towards Wangfeng Pavilion.
By the ti he arrived at Wangfeng Pavilion, he saw the back of Yan Chunxue.
His Divine Sense extended outwards, seeing Yan Chunxue's body covered with wounds of various sizes, her face sared with fresh blood, and her hair disheveled.
With a flash in his eyes, Duan Gujin imdiately understood the situation with Yan Chunxue before him.
That was not Yan Chunxue at all, but an assassin disguised as her!
"What should I do now?"
His eyes twinkled for a mont, and then a smile erged on the corner of his mouth.
"Maybe I can make use of that assassin!"
While thinking this, he shouted loudly, "Yan Chunxue, don't move around, don't be nervous, just wait there for !"
At the sa ti, he carefully inspected the Killing Array ahead of him.
After a while, he threw a Flying Knife directly into the ground of Wangfeng Pavilion.
As the Flying Knife landed, a swift white light flashed across the ground, followed swiftly by an explosion from the knife.
Seeing Duan Gujin's action, the assassin disguised as Yan Chunxue couldn't help taking a sharp breath in surprise, knowing full well that Duan Gujin's Flying Knife had hit the Array Eye of the Killing Array.
The assassin was a master of setting up Killing Arrays, and the one now destroyed by Duan Gujin was its pride and joy.
It had intended to use that Killing Array against Duan Gujin, but unexpectedly, the entire Array was seen through imdiately. With one throw of a Flying Knife, Duan Gujin had directly attacked the Array Eye, sending a wave of shock through the assassin's mind.
The assassin knew very well that only it knew the location of the Array Eye of the Killing Array it had set up.
Confident in its own abilities, the assassin had not expected Duan Gujin to identify the Array Eye so swiftly and destroy it, causing imnse alarm.
Sensing that the Killing Array ahead had been destroyed, Duan Gujin felt an intense surge of elation. After inspecting the disguised Yan Chunxue with his Divine Sense again, he confird that the assassin was indeed a woman.
He held no rcy for female assassins, either.
Taking a deep breath, he flashed forward, confronting the woman assassin and saying, "Yan Chunxue, don't be scared, I'm here to save you!"
Hearing Duan Gujin say he was coming to save her, the female assassin's excitent surged, knowing her mont to strike was imminent.
The mont Duan Gujin got closer, she would pretend to be wounded and then stab him with the Poison Needle hidden in the palm of her right hand.
If the Poison Needle hit Duan Gujin's body, he would quickly be poisoned and unable to circulate his Primordial Power.
For a martial artist, if they were unable to circulate Primordial Power, it ant a dead end.
The female assassin grew tense as Duan Gujin got closer and closer.
However, unbeknownst to her, Duan Gujin was even more anxious at the mont.
It turned out that until just now, Duan Gujin had inspected and found out that the female assassin's cultivation had reached the Martial Arts Ninth Layer.
Not only was the female assassin powerful, but she was also protected by soft armor. If he made a light move, he would not be able to secure the female assassin.
