Master of the Sky

He exerted a little more strength, and the killer's body bent into a bow, his bloodshot eyes staring straight at Guo Nan, a pleading look in his eyes.    

Looking at that expression, Guo Nan laughed softly: "Now, I ask, you nod or shake your head, if not, your flesh will fall off piece by piece and your bones will shatter bit by bit. I won't soften my grip."    

The man nodded vigorously.    

"Alright, a wise man knows what to do. If you satisfy me, I'll give you a quick death."    

Guo Nan paused, and said coldly: "Who sent you to kill me? Qin Family? "    

The man shook his head.    

"Zhao Family?"    

Still shaking his head.    

"Song Family?"    

Hearing that, that person finally nodded his head.    

"You are from the Iron Soul Hall?" Guo Nan continued to ask.    

The killer's eyes were filled with confusion as he shook his head.    

Then you are the death warrior of Song Family?    

Nodding.    

"Very good, why did the Song Family kill me? Do they suspect that I killed Song Yun, Song Lan and the rest in the hunting grounds? " Guo Nan asked again.    

The assassin nodded.    

"Alright, I'll give you a quick death."    

Guo Nan pulled out the broken sword from his leg bones, raised it up and stabbed it into his heart.    

Standing up, Guo Nan hesitated for a moment, then said secretly: I have to give Song Family a warning!    

He held the two corpses of the two killers and sprinted towards Song Mansion.    

In this late night, other than the Misty Rain House s, there were no other pedestrians.    

Throwing the two corpses onto the Song Mansion's courtyard wall, Guo Nan slowly walked towards the Prince Guo's Mansion.    

After walking to a secluded location, Guo Nan stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and said lightly: "Sir, it should be about time to follow me from the Imperial Palace to here, right?"    

"How did you find me?"    

Li Bing walked out and looked at Guo Nan in confusion.    

"With your strength, I'm afraid you still can't follow me without anyone noticing." Guo Nan looked at Li Bing, his expression normal. He knew that Li Bing was not hostile. If Li Bing wanted to kill him, he would have done so right at the palace.    

When he was eavesdropping outside the Heartbreak Palace, Li Bing had already discovered him, followed him out, watched him kill people, and watched him throw the assassin's corpse into the Song Mansion.    

"Oh? Your sensitivity is pretty sharp. "    

"Same here, same here, you can see that I'm eavesdropping on your conversation, and my sensitivity is not bad either."    

Li Bing laughed and said: "There is no comparison, my strength is stronger than you."    

Guo Nan declined to comment and shrugged: "You're following me, could it be that you want to protect me when I return to the Prince Guo's Mansion?"    

"With your abilities, you will be invincible under the Danyuan Stage. In the entire Changyang City, there are not many people who can kill you."    

"Then why are you following me?" Guo Nan asked snappily.    

"I just want to be sure of one thing. Do you pose any threat to our Li Clan's lands and rivers?" Li Bing said gently.    

Guo Nan laughed casually, and said: "Are you sure now?"    

"I don't know." Li Bing revealed a bitter smile, and said: "Your talent, rarely seen in ten thousand years, is like a dragon amongst men. But your methods are too vicious. You can't guarantee when you'll make a move against our Li family. Anything that might pose a threat to you, you need to get rid of it before you can be at ease, right? "    

"That's right." Guo Nan affirmed: "I want to get rid of Song Family, Zhao Family, and Qin Family. "As for your Li Clan, as long as you don't go against my bottom line, I won't do anything."    

Li Bing stared at Guo Nan's eyes. He saw stubbornness and confidence.    

"What's your bottom line?"    

"Family, friends."    

"Can it be that the two girls, Jun Lin and Ling Long, are your family members when they are about to marry you?" Li Bing's right hand was placed on the hilt of sword.    

His gaze was as calm as water, but Guo Nan knew that if his answer made him feel threatened, the tranquil water in his eyes would become a surging wave!    

Guo Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head: "Li Junlin counts, but Li Linglong does not."    

"Actually, the Princess Linglong s are not like the rumors in the outside world. One could not know another person through the words of others. If we really have to distinguish between black and white, we can only rely on our own feelings and feel that it is more realistic than what we can hear. Forget it, our elders will not get involved in the matters of you youngsters.    

Li Bing loosened his grip on the hilt of sword and looked at Guo Nan with unperturbed eyes. Then, he slowly left and hid himself around the corner of the street.    

"Hehe, but I feel like Princess Linglong is a huge problem. Your royal family wants the Princess Linglong to control me, do you think I don't know? Laozi has been a man for two lifetimes, how could she not know whether or not they are broken shoes? "    

When Guo Nan returned to the Prince Guo's Mansion, he told Guo Ziyi all the news that he had found in the Ye Palace. On the way, he met the Song Family killer and talked to Li Bing without missing a thing.    

Guo Ziyi stood by the window and looked at the countless stars in the night sky.    

Guo Nan waited quietly.    

Finally, Guo Ziyi stretched and twisted his neck, and sighed: "Sigh, actually, today, Li Yuan gave you so many benefits, and I was just thinking, what exactly is the reason behind all this? At the southeastern border, it is impossible for Li Yuan to gift it to us from the Guo Family for nothing, and it is also impossible for him to place his full trust in us just because of a few words. Then, the invasion of the Sea race was the greatest possibility. "I didn't expect that I would actually guess it!"    

"Grandfather, is Sea race very strong?"    

In his previous life, Guo Nan roamed the central region of the continent, and had never experienced Sea race.    

"Compared to those empires, the Sea race can't even withstand a single blow. However, against small empires like the Daiyuan Kingdom, the Sea race, and the Daiyuan Kingdom, the Sea race is like a giant." Guo Ziyi said worriedly.    

"If Li Yuan gave us the Nanhu Prefecture, wouldn't that be burning hot potatoes?"    

"It's a hot potato, and it's also a good opportunity. We can see how the situation will turn out then."    

Guo Nan lightly nodded, and asked again, "How did the last few times of Sea race's invasion end?"    

"It's the same thing every time when the Heavenly Empire sends someone to drive the Sea race away. Heavenly Empire did not include us small nations into their territory precisely because of Sea race. As the buffer zone in which Sea race attacks the continent, every few decades, Sea race will bring us huge injuries. Heavenly Empire usually only takes action in the end, on one hand, Sea race has wasted our strength, on the other hand, Heavenly Empire will step up as the savior, so that they can firmly take the initiative to take control of us small nations. "    

After Guo Ziyi finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Guo Nan, and continued, "Every time the Sea race attacks the continent, it is always when the surrounding small nations of a dozen or so countries are shuffling their cards. The unlucky countries would disappear and be divided among the other countries. That is why it is our chance to expand our influence. But if we cannot withstand the Sea race's attacks and let the Sea race attack Li Tangguo's hinterland, no matter how much land we take, we will still become the sinner in the eyes of the people of Li Tangguo. Once we can hold on, when the Heavenly Empire sends someone over, we can take this opportunity to expand to the territories of the neighboring countries to achieve dominance. "    

"Hegemony?"    

"Men should be strong. Who doesn't want to be at the peak of power? But, to overthrow Li Tang, I, Guo Ziyi, will not do it. If we are going to establish our country, we must establish our country outside of Li Tangguo's homeland, and build a good relationship with him! "    

Guo Ziyi's eyes stared at Guo Nan, and said solemnly: "Remember, you must not lose the heart of the people, and build your career! Now that Li Tangguo is at peace with the nation, if we take the lead and cause chaos to Li Tangguo, the people will not be able to live a peaceful life, then we will be sinners, and not heroes! "    

"Truly a hero, rushing up against adversity and fair and square, not recklessly using any means to add insult to injury!"    

Hearing that, Guo Nan probed: "Then what about Fenyang Manor and Nanhu Prefecture?"
