"Could the Great Elder have intentionally set the Death Soldier on me to kill me?" Mu Hanyan no sooner thought this than she dismissed it. The reason was simple:
First, although the Great Elder harbored deep hatred for her father and had no affection for her, he would never entertain the idea of killing her. It was a significant virtue of the Mu Family—they might vie viciously for power, but their actions always remained grounded, prioritizing the family's interests above all. This was also why she was reluctant to antagonize the Great Elder and others.
Second, the words spoken by this person when he appeared were unclear and incomprehensible, yet his expression seemed genuine, suggesting no connection to the Great Elder.
Third, she now was a true Great Swordsman, and most of the elders had similar strength, yet this person managed to repel her with a single sword strike. How could a Family Assassin possibly possess such power?
