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

Chapter 431 The Sneak Attacker

Even though he was injured, he couldn't see the man's true face, but this person did pique Xu Yao's interest.

Fortunately, Xu Yao was experienced and knew that the man was going to run away, so he had already sprinkled the Soul-Chasing Incense on him in advance.

As the saying goes, you can run away on the first day of the month but not on the fifteenth; this is something that not everyone can do.

In short, Xu Yao saw this situation and, without saying a word, immediately ran forward.

Xu Yao chased after the man all the way.

It must be said that although this person's cultivation level was not as high as Xu Yao's, his skill in escaping was quite impressive.

Even someone as formidable as Xu Yao couldn't catch up with this person under such circumstances.

After tracking for half the distance, the scent of the Soul-Chasing Incense disappeared, which meant that Xu Yao's tracking had failed.

Seeing this, Xu Yao knew there was no point in continuing the pursuit, as the person could not be found.

If the other party uses a diversionary tactic, this white pine tree might be in danger.

So Xu Yao came back directly.

As soon as he returned, Bai Song was nowhere to be found. Xu Yao was completely dumbfounded when he realized that Bai Song was not in the room.

Now Xu Yao finally understood what it meant to say that strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

What should we do about this? The white pine tree has simply disappeared under these circumstances.

Xu Yao searched for a long time but couldn't find Bai Song, so he had no choice but to go back and rest.

Today was truly a nightmare; we couldn't catch the person who poisoned us, and the white pine tree has vanished.

Where can Xu Yao go to seek justice?

The next day, when Xu Yao got up, he received a report from his disciples that the Han faction's leader had fallen ill.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yao immediately wondered if fate was playing a cruel joke on him.

The white pine tree has disappeared, and the Korean style is sick again. What's going on? Is a meteor shower about to fall from the sky next?

Want to make a wish? A really awesome one!

However, Xu Yao also found it strange that the Korean brand was fine yesterday, so why did it fall ill today?

So Xu Yao asked, "Your sect leader is in good health, and I haven't heard of any problems."

"How did you get sick?"

The disciple then said, "Yesterday, the sect leader was competing with other elders, and then, in a moment of carelessness..."

"The Han faction is the sect leader, how could this happen? I have to say, it's really strange that you're the sect leader."

"Alright, I know about this. I'll go check on things. If your sect leader has nothing else to do..."

“I’ll talk to him again,” Xu Yao said.

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he went straight to find the Korean group. In fact, there was only one reason why Xu Yao did this.

Xu Yao was fundamentally skeptical about such a thing.

If things weren't like this, they certainly wouldn't have done such a thing; anyway, that's how things are now.

As for other things, they are absolutely unnecessary. In short, Xu Yao is very clear that the timing of the Korean group's current illness is too coincidental.

If that's not the case, then the Korean group is hiding something from me.

In any case, Xu Yao definitely had to go and take a look first.

And most importantly, last night, the masked man was also injured by himself, and today the Korean guy is injured.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Xu Yao went directly to the Korean company with this question in mind.

Upon arriving at Han Xi's room, they found her lying on the bed, pale-faced, clearly seriously injured.

Seeing this, Xu Yao became even more suspicious and walked over, saying, "Sect Leader Han."

“You were fine yesterday, how come Grandma has become like this these past few days?”

"I'm saying that the entire Hanshan Sword Sect is waiting for your account to get justice."

"Your sudden injury is really hard to understand. What could have caused this?" Xu Yao said.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi helplessly replied, "Brother Xu Yao, I was just unlucky."

"I had a duel with the Grand Elder, which was supposed to be a friendly exchange, but I accidentally got hit by him."

"That palm strike really made me cough up blood on the spot. There was nothing I could do about it. Now I can only lie down and rest."

"Look at my injury, ouch!" Han Xi said, also in pain.

Xu Yao took the opportunity to check Han Ji's wounds.

Yes, he was indeed beaten, but the injuries Han was sustained were different from those sustained by the person he had beaten up last night.

So, does that mean the Korean guy wasn't the culprit? Was he really beaten by the Grand Elder?

Although Xu Yao didn't know whether he could believe it or not, the injuries Han Ji had suffered were there, so even if Xu Yao didn't believe it, he still had to accept it.

It seemed unlikely, so Xu Yao said, "Sect Leader Han, please rest and recuperate here."

"If I have any news, I will send it to you as soon as possible, so don't worry."

The Korean man also expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Xu Yao. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"Anyway, I'm very grateful to you for what happened this time," Han Xi said.

"If you hadn't promised to help me investigate Bai Song's mother's remains, I'm afraid I would be working myself to death right now," Han Xi said.

Xu Yao checked Han Xi's injuries several times before getting up and leaving Han Xi's room.

Once Xu Yao left, the Han faction summoned the Grand Elder.

After the Grand Elder entered Han Xi's room, Han Xi's expression changed drastically, and he directly addressed the Grand Elder:

"Elder, you know my temper. Do you remember what I told you to say about this matter?" Han Xi said.

The Grand Elder frowned slightly, but still cupped his hands and said, "Of course, please rest assured, Sect Master."

"I naturally know what to do, but regardless, I hope the sect leader can..."

"Hmm?" Han Xi also frowned.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder said, "We will follow the Sect Master's orders."

After returning to his room, Xu Yao said directly to Han Yi, "I find today's events strange."

Han Yi asked curiously, "What's so strange about it?"

Xu Yao told Han Yi about the masked men he had met the previous night, and also mentioned that Han Yi had been injured today.

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he added, "This is too much of a coincidence. I injured the masked man yesterday, and today the Korean guy got injured."

“But none of that matters. The main problem is, as you’ve seen, the injuries on the Korean guy are indeed different from those on the masked guy,” Xu Yao said.
