After seeing Nie En and company coming, the crowd split a path open for them.
Nie Hai, the Patriarch of the Heavenly Marks Family, is currently sitting on the main seat. He was dressed in a grey robe, a long white beard was growing on his stern face. He was emitting a kind of majestic aura from him.
“Nie En, what’s going on?” Nie Hai asked.
“Patriarch, there were three sneaky thieves from the Dark Guild. They were probably trying to steal something from our Heavenly Marks Family. Two of them were killed, one escaped!” Nie En replied, cupping his hands.
[TLN: Cupping his hands as in… Like those Chinese dramas about ancient Chinese times etc.. Where people cup their hands when replying an elder/superior. Something like that :/]
Nie Hai took a glance at the two corpses on the floor, feeling slightly relieved, and said, “Good thing that it’s just three people. Although, I’m not sure what they came here for. They were definitely up to nothing good. My Heavenly Marks Family doesn’t have anything for the Dark Guild to covet after. They are probably here to inquire the situation of our Heavenly Marks Family. Double up the patrol for these next few days!”
“Yes!” The guards of Heavenly Marks Family by the side answered.
“You’re the one who killed these two?” With a glance, Nie Hai could tell that those two corpses had at least Silver rank strength.
“No, not me,” Nie En said, shaking his head.
“Then it’s Xiao Feng and Xiao Ri?” Nie Hai praised, “Xiao Feng, Xiao Ri, your cultivation has been rising very fast!”
Hearing Nie Hai’s words, Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori felt their face burning.
“Patriarch, we did not do it!” Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori hurriedly replied. They dared not impersonate the credit of others.
Nie Hai slightly frowned upon hearing their answers, and curiously asked, “Then who is the one that did it?”
There is only Nie En, Nie Xiaofeng, and Nie Xiaori three people dispatched to go after those few people from the Dark Guild. If it wasn’t them, then who did it?
“By the time I arrived, they had already died. Only Nie Li was present when it happened,” Nie En said truthfully.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell onto Nie Li, feeling ridiculous. How could Nie Li take on two Silver rank Fighters with his cultivation?
“I also don’t know. I only saw a black shadow flash and the two of them fell onto the ground just like that,” Nie Li shrugged, pretending to be innocent. He still does not want to reveal his own strength yet.
“A black shadow flashed?” Everyone was slightly surprised.
Elder Nie En was silent for a moment before he squatted down, pointing towards the two Silver rank Fighter’s corpse, and said, “Patriarch, have a look at the wound. It’s done with some sort of weapon and this weapon is extremely weird. I can’t think of anyone in Glory City using this kind of weapon.”
Everyone’s gaze fell onto the wounds of the two corpse.
“These two people were taken out by striking their fatal points, a one hit kill!” Elder Nie En took a deep breath and said.
Everyone began to look at each other. Within their clan, there was no one using this kind of weapon, so who killed these two? Could it be that the back mountains had a hidden master? They are all wondering if that expert is an enemy or a friend. However, no matter if it’s a friend or an enemy, having such a person hiding behind the back mountains caused them to feel uneasy.
“Since someone helped us kill the people of the Dark Guild, they should b
