Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 167 End of the Journey Through the Martial World

After finishing his tea, Guan Zhitong suddenly felt weak all over. He stared wide-eyed, filled with anger, at the person who had just poured him the tea.

This person was Zisang in disguise, who had infiltrated the group.

“You…” Guan Zhitong pointed at Zisang with trembling hands, about to question her, when Zisang suddenly stabbed her in the chest with a knife.

In an instant, excruciating pain struck, blood splattered everywhere, and Guan Zhitong didn't even have time to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground, dead!

Everyone present was initially filled with extreme indignation and shock, but the sudden scene before them instantly brought them back to reality.

Seeing that someone dared to assassinate Guan Zhitong right in front of them, everyone came to their senses. The disciple closest to Guan Zhitong shouted, "Sect Master!!!"

After succeeding, Zisang did not hesitate and turned to speed away.

Guan Zhitiao suddenly realized what was happening and quickly got up to chase after them. When she reached the door, she was shocked to find that it was already surrounded by people.

Upon closer inspection, Zheng Luoqi was seen standing in the center of the crowd.

At this moment, Zheng Luoqi is still in disguise and is not wearing a mask; she has Xing Jin's appearance.

At the same time, Zi Sang had quietly returned to Zheng Luoqi's side.

“Okay... Okay! You’re not dead?” Guan Zhitiao asked Zheng Luoqi in surprise.

"Weren't you killed by the Wuji Sect?" Guan Zhitiao was still confused about what had happened.

Zheng Luoqi gave the order: "Kill! Leave no survivors!"

Zheng Luoqi drew her sword, its cold light gleaming, and charged straight at Guan Zhitiao.

The moment Zheng Luoqi drew her sword, the people around her also made their moves. Like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep, they charged menacingly towards the disciples of the Sword Shadow Sect.

Zheng Luoqi had no desire to waste any more words on Guan Zhitiao.

But Guan Zhitiao, in his self-righteousness, believed that Zheng Luoqi's return must be to avenge Xing Tu.

Guan Zhitiao was filled with fear and unease. She secretly wondered if Zheng Luoqi already knew about She Yizhou's plot to assassinate Xingtu. So she deliberately spread the false information that she was dead, taking this opportunity to return, just to seek justice and avenge her brother Xingtu.

Thinking of this, Guan Zhitiao hurriedly and frantically tried to defend himself: "I am also very sad about the deaths of Xingjin and Xingtu, but my senior brother is really innocent! He was just bewitched by the Wuji Sect!!" As he spoke, Guan Zhitiao frantically dodged Zheng Luoqi's fierce attacks.

However, Zheng Luoqi ignored Guan Zhitiao's words and focused on launching an attack, his sword striking Guan Zhitiao like a storm.

Guan Zhitiao was trying to do two things at once, dealing with Zheng Luoqi's fierce attacks while also trying to defend himself. Naturally, he was finding it difficult to cope. Before long, a scream was heard, and the tip of Zheng Luoqi's sword had pierced Guan Zhitiao's arm.

Guan Zhitiao's face contorted in pain as she clutched her injured arm. The blood flowing from the wound was an eerie black. In an instant, a wave of intense dizziness washed over her: "It's...it's poisonous..."

“Miss Guan, trying to do two things at once while fighting the enemy can be fatal!” Zheng Luoqi sighed as she looked at Guan Zhitiao, who was clutching her bloodied arm and looking pained.

After Zheng Luoqi finished speaking, she raised her longsword and delivered the final blow to Guan Zhitiao's heart before leaving.

After Zheng Luoqi finished dealing with things here, He Jinyu and Boyu had already won over She Yizhou.

Throughout the entire night, the Sword Shadow Sect was filled with one terrifying scream after another.

By dawn, the Sword Shadow Sect had become a desolate battlefield, littered with corpses and remains, a horrifying sight.

"My lord! Everything has been taken care of! No survivors!" Having completed his mission, Boyu strode up to Zheng Luoqi and reported respectfully.

Zheng Luoqi nodded slightly, indicating her satisfaction.

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Zheng Luoqi's face as she said softly, "Let's go to Huainan. Our journey through the martial world is over; it's time for the King of Huainan to fulfill his promise!"

He then turned and walked away, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

Just a few days later, news of the Sword Shadow Sect's annihilation spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire martial arts world.

Those martial arts figures were shocked when they heard the news and began to discuss it, with all sorts of speculations and rumors circulating.

Some vividly described the horrific scene, sending chills down one's spine; others raised various questions about the killer's identity, sparking countless speculations.

Even more remarkably, rumors circulated that someone had found a token of the Wuji Sect at the Sword Shadow Sect.

This news immediately thrust Wuji Sect into the eye of the storm of public opinion.

The news that the destruction of the Sword Shadow Sect might be related to the Wuji Sect instantly caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world, and everyone's attention was focused on the Wuji Sect.

Wuji Sect suddenly became the target of public criticism, put on the spot, and endured pressure and accusations from all sides.

Huainan Prince's Mansion

The Prince of Huainan had received the news long ago that Zheng Luoqi had already destroyed the Sword Shadow Sect and was currently on her way back to Huainan.

Suddenly, a servant rushed into the hall in a panic, panting, and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the others have returned! The Crown Prince and Lord Zheng have returned together!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Huainan's face immediately lit up with joy. He quickly stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Good, very good! Quickly send someone to welcome him!" With that, he personally led a group of servants out of the gate.

In the distance, a group of people could be seen slowly approaching. Leading the group was Zheng Luoqi, who looked dashing and rode a tall horse, followed closely by the guards sent by the Prince of Huainan to provide support.

As the group approached, the Prince of Huainan hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes full of admiration: "Good, very good. You truly deserve to be called Lord Zheng. I am very grateful for your help this time."

Zheng Luoqi bowed slightly in return and said, "Your Highness is too kind. This is merely a junior's duty. I hope Your Highness will not forget your promise."

Upon hearing this, the King of Huainan laughed heartily and said boldly, "I always keep my word. Since I have agreed to serve you, I will certainly keep my promise and never go back on my word! As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as a swift horse's whip, so how could I easily go back on my word?"

Immediately afterwards, the Prince of Huainan extended his hand warmly, gesturing for Zheng Luoqi and the other guests to enter the palace together.
