Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 405 There is a murderous aura

That's just how Xu Yao is. Now that he's heard Han Yi say such things to him...

In addition, Xu Yao himself sensed a murderous aura emanating from the back mountain, so he immediately summoned the flying sword he had been using to reason.

Then he said, "Be careful, something is definitely not right. I originally thought there was nothing here."

"But I never expected that the back mountain would be like this..."

Just as Xu Yao finished speaking, a large number of men in black appeared on the back mountain, all of whom were masked.

Then, wielding weapons, they charged out, and all sorts of flying swords came hurtling towards them.

Seeing this, Xu Yao immediately summoned a protective shield and said to Han Yi, "It seems these people are waiting for us here."

"I wondered what these people were planning before, but now I understand. They were actually just waiting for us to make our move."

Han Yi then said, "I think these people seem a bit off; they don't seem like they belong to the Hanshan Sword Sect."

"I suspect that someone was trying to cause trouble for the Hanshan Sword Sect, but we just happened to run into them."

Han Yi's words were not without reason, but now was not the time to discuss such matters. At this moment, Xu Yao also said, "Let's make our move first."

"Catch them alive."

After they finished speaking, the two of them attacked each other to the side.

The battle between Xu Yao, Han Yi, and these men in black quickly alarmed the entire Hanshan Sword Sect.

Now, Han Xi led his disciples to the back mountain and began fighting with the men in black.

Xu Yao had not expected that these men in black were all fearless and ruthless.

They actually came to fight Xu Yao with the intention of dying. Originally, Xu Yao planned to capture a few people alive and find out who the mastermind behind this was.

In this way, at least we can clarify this matter. If we can clarify these matters, then at least we can find out whether it is the so-called Korean faction.

If it's the Korean faction, then Xu Yao can at least take the initiative to act. But if it's not the Korean faction, then Xu Yao needs to be careful.

It's not that simple, but these people don't seem to be thinking they can get back alive.

So after being defeated by Xu Yao, they all committed suicide by poisoning themselves, leaving Xu Yao helpless for a time.

However, these men in black were truly formidable, and after a battle...

The Hanshan Sword Sect also suffered many casualties among its disciples, which is why they were able to drive these men in black away.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai directly asked, "Hey, Sect Master Han, what exactly is going on here?"

"This is your back mountain, and yet you've been besieged like this. I say, Sect Master Han, you really need to explain this matter clearly."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi replied, "Brother Xu Yao, don't worry, I know what to do this time."

"This is indeed our problem, and there's nothing more to say about it, but I don't want to talk about anything else right now."

"Okay, you all go back and rest first. I will give you an explanation about this matter."

“But I also need to spend time investigating now,” Han Xi said to Xu Yao and Han Yi.

Seeing that Han Xi was saying this, Xu Yao didn't know what to say, and simply took Han Yi back to his own room.

After returning to the private room, Han Yi asked Xu Yao, "What do you think of this matter?"

“I do believe it’s not something the Koreans are involved in, but I suspect it’s still related to the Hanshan Sword Sect,” Xu Yao said.

"Why?" Han Yi asked, somewhat surprised.

Xu Yao then voiced his suspicions: "It's very simple, the place where we had the accident was the back mountain of Hanshan Sword Sect."

"What does it mean that something happened in this place? How could an ordinary person get away with it without anyone noticing?"

"To be able to appear here at Hanshan Sword Sect, and to be among the dead men in black before, both their clothes and their swords."

"They're all brand new, and you can tell at a glance that someone deliberately arranged this. If something really happens here..."

"To be honest, isn't there a real problem with this matter now that it has come to this point?"

"There must be someone who could arrange for these people to ambush us, but whether it's the Korean faction or not is another matter."

"I don't actually have any conclusive evidence right now, which is why I said we'll have to wait and see about this later."

"Now that the Korean side has said they want to handle this matter themselves, this is a good opportunity for us to see if they really will handle it on their own."

Xu Yao's meaning was clear: now it's all about seeing what the Korean side does.

Han Yi understood Xu Yao's meaning, so the two of them went straight to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, as soon as Han Xi got up, he summoned all the disciples of the Han Shan Sword Sect and conducted a thorough investigation.

The Korean faction is now also curious as to why someone could so easily get to the back mountain and launch an attack there.

This is the most serious thing. Honestly, putting aside everything else, it's clear at least now.

This back mountain is the private forbidden area of ​​the Hanshan Sword Sect. It's unbelievable that an unknown person could break in under such circumstances.

It almost caused a major incident, but fortunately Xu Yao and Han Yi discovered it in time this time. If it had happened at any other time...

If these people come to assassinate me, then wouldn't I be able to die in my sleep without even knowing how?

The reason why the Korean faction is investigating the Hanshan Sword Sect is because of this incident.

If we don't investigate this thoroughly, wouldn't we be letting ourselves down?

Because of this, the entire Hanshan Sword Sect was thoroughly investigated by the Han faction.

As a result, the Korean faction had absolutely no clue whatsoever. Not only did they have no clue, but it even seemed as if the person they were trying to assassinate really wasn't from the Hanshan Sword Sect.

The Korean faction was both happy and worried. They were happy because at least their own disciples were safe.

What's worrying is that this person was able to enter the back mountain of Hanshan Sword Sect so easily, given their cultivation level and organizational skills.

This was absolutely terrifying, so the Korean team decided to go find Xu Yao and Han Yi first and lay the matter out on the table.

Once things are cleared up, we can also calm Xu Yao down.

With that in mind, Han went directly to find Xu Yao.

At this moment, Xu Yao and Han Yi were in the side room, but they weren't doing anything.

Upon seeing Han Xi arrive, Xu Yao stood up and said, "Sect Leader Han, are you here to discuss yesterday's events?"

"I investigated what happened yesterday first thing this morning, and the disciples of our Hanshan Sword Sect really didn't know anything about it."
