Chapter 83 - Destroying Doors in pa.s.singAt the same time, in a deep mountain valley twenty miles outside Qin Feng city, there was a concealed, steep path.
Both sides of the river flowed rapidly, pa.s.sing through a steep path and entering a dense forest. There was a dark cave in the forest, and at the entrance of the cave, there was a huge rock that covered the entrance of the cave.
"Kill!"
At this moment, under the dim light of the candles, the wide cave was filled with stone tables and chairs. There were nearly a hundred men in black sitting on them, each of them exuding a cold and b.l.o.o.d.y aura.They rarely talked, and most of their gazes were focused on a tall platform at the end of the cave.
There was a grim-faced, middle-aged one-eyed man standing there, holding a sheet of parchment made of animal skin in his hand. He was looking at it closely.
Then, he looked at the group of men in black and said in a low voice, "First level a.s.sa.s.sination mission, Sect Leader Hu Xiao"s head. Beginner Huang Yun"s cultivation base, three Cloud Crystals will be rewarded!"
Soon after, there was a slight commotion in the group of men in black and everyone looked at each other. A moment later, a man in black walked onto the stage from behind the group. He said respectfully to the middle-aged man: "Hall Master, I will accept this mission!"The one-eyed man only nodded, then handed the beast skin over to him!
So this was the so-called number one a.s.sa.s.sin"s guild in the northwest, the division of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins. It was hidden deep in the mountains, operating in secret and ordinary people had no way to find its traces.
At this moment, the Hall Master of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins was issuing the latest mission from the headquarters. Today, he had gathered most of the branch a.s.sa.s.sins.This person had just received the beast skin with both hands and was about to leave when suddenly, a loud slapping sound came from the east gate. The sound was so loud that it shook the huge rock!
"Hmm?"In almost an instant, over a hundred pairs of eyes in the cave instantly looked towards the cave entrance. The Hall Master of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins" single, dark eye also looked towards the cave entrance, giving a look to the group of black clothed men in front of him!
The next moment, over a hundred figures jumped up from the cave like a cat. Some of them clung to the walls of the cave while others hid inside it.
Everyone hid in every corner of the cave in the blink of an eye. The cave, which was filled with hundreds of people, suddenly became empty.
"Are you going to see who is outside the mountain gate?"
The hall master of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins said to a gloomy-looking youth follower behind him. The Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins had its own secret entrance, so no one would be able to enter through the entrance.
The young servant accepted the order and immediately walked to the cave entrance. He then gently twisted a part of the stone wall, and the protruding rock unexpectedly began to twist and spin!
"Rumble!"
The next moment, the huge rock blocking the entrance of the mountain started to tremble. It started to move slowly, showing a gap that only one person could pa.s.s through.
The young man looked outside the cave nervously and saw an old man dressed in hemp. He was holding a wine gourd and his face was flushed red from drinking too much.
The latter staggered, drinking from a wine jug in one hand and knocking against a giant boulder near the entrance of the cave with the other.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The young man asked cautiously.
The old man opened his drowsy eyes and looked at the young man. He absentmindedly asked, "May I ask where I can buy wine? My wine gourd is almost empty. I would like to buy some wine."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the young man was stunned. This was the division of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins, located deep in the mountains in the woods. Where was the place to buy wine? How could this old man come here and ask for directions?
"Scram! This is a mountain family, there is no place to sell alcohol. Buy wine and go to the city!" The young man impatiently waved his hand to chase the old man away.
The old man burped and waved his hand. "Wait, wait, can I borrow some money from that? I don"t have any money on me, so I can"t buy wine."
"Hey, old man!"
The young man did not expect this old man to be such a rascal. He even extended his hand to ask for money. He couldn"t help but turn his head to look into the cave.
On the high platform, the pavilion master"s single eye flashed as he casually made a throat-slitting gesture towards him.
When the youth heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at the old man. A layer of ice-cold frost had already enveloped his eyes.
"You don"t have money to buy wine, right? Then go to a good bar underground that doesn"t require money."
As he said that, an inch long blade suddenly appeared in the youth"s hand. He quickly slashed at the old man"s neck!
However, what surprised the youth was that his blade had clearly cut through the old man"s neck, but the old man didn"t bleed at all. In the next moment, the old man turned into a cloud of mist and dispersed!
At the same time, on a stone table in the middle of the cave, an old man was sitting on a stone bench. At the same time, on a stone table in the middle of the cave, an old man was sitting on a stone bench.When the youth heard the sound of the old man drinking, he immediately turned his head and could not help but reveal an expression of shock!
"How did you get in?"When the old man heard this, he glanced at the youth and smiled, "I walked in between you."
The youth was surprised as he didn"t understand the meaning behind the old man"s words.
He suddenly realized that there seemed to be a crack in the middle of his robe.
In the next moment, the youth"s eyes suddenly focused. Without waiting for him to react, his originally upright body actually split apart and fell to both sides!In a split-second, his body was separated, and blood and organs flowed all over the ground!
On the high platform, the pupils of the one-eyed man who was watching all of this suddenly shrank. Although his expression did not change, his heart was filled with shock!
He took a deep breath, faced the old man sitting in the middle of the cave, clasped his hands and said, "May I ask for your name, senior? Are you here to visit my Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins division late at night?"
The old man didn"t answer him but continued to drink.However, the old man didn"t say anything. This caused the one-eyed man to feel even more nervous as he continued to speak.
"Senior, I am the Hall Master of a.s.sa.s.sin Hall, Wu Fei. I don"t know if I have offended senior, please tell me clearly, if I have truly offended you, Wu Fei will apologize for his offense."
The old man still didn"t say a word and only focused on drinking, as if Wu Fei on the stage was the air.Seeing this, Wu Fei couldn"t help but feel angry in his heart. He couldn"t see through this person"s cultivation level, but he was the hall master of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins, a Mystical Cloud Peak expert. Yet this person didn"t give him face.
"Senior, if you really don"t have a reason, then come to my Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins and provoke them. You don"t put our Hall in your eyes."
Wu Fei"s words were full of threat.
The old man finally put down the wine gourd at this time. The latter narrowed his eyes and let out a satisfied burp. Only then did he open his eyes to look at the one-eyed Wu Fei on the tall platform."Nothing, nothing at all. This old man is just here to take a look!"
Wu Fei sneered in his heart when he heard this. He thought that this old man was indeed still afraid of the reputation of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins. He definitely did not dare to act rashly at this moment.
However, the old man"s next sentence shocked Wu Fei. The cold air covered his entire body!
The old man smiled coyly and waved his hand, "I"m just coming over to take a look, let"s kill the door at the same time."
"You"re courting death!"
Almost at the same moment the one-eyed man shouted, all of the a.s.sa.s.sins hidden in the cave appeared at the same time!
The originally empty cave was now filled with hundreds of black figures that poured in from all directions like tidewaters. Countless streaks of cloud energy, accompanied by a.s.sorted weapons, began to surround the old man with a strong killing intent.In response, the old man on the stone bench tightened the wrinkles on his face and closed his eyes. He revealed a bitter smile as an invisible sword appeared in his hand. He held the gourd in one hand and raised his head to drink, then gently waved it in the air!
In the blink of an eye, the sword shadows filled the sky, and the world lost its color!In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, an old man holding a wine gourd staggered on the incomparably steep mountain trail in the northwest of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins. He was drinking wine and walking through the woods when he suddenly sneezed!
"Boom!"With an earth-shattering explosion, the huge rock that was originally standing at the entrance of the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins" Division exploded into a cloud of rock, blocking the entire entrance. It was like a tall grave!
Killing a man with ten steps, unstoppable for a thousand miles.
Currently, in the crown prince"s residence, in Xiang Yun"s room, Lin Wan"er personally carried a basin of water and wiped the blood off Xiang Yun"s body once more, her face red.
And then he refused it immediately. The Crown Prince made a request to share the bed and ran out of the room like he was escaping!
Looking at the fleeing figure of Lin Wan"er, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but smile as a warm feeling flowed through his heart.Lying on the bed, Xiang Yun"s chest was still a little stuffy. However, it was already much better than before.
After the Yun Li healing by Housekeeper Zhang and Mr Liu, and after Xiang Yun returned to his residence, he took another spiritual medicine brought from the Duke"s Mansion. At this moment, Xiang Yun could clearly sense that a clear stream within his body was gradually healing his injuries.At this moment within the Crown Prince"s residence, Xiang Yun finally felt a bit more at ease. There was nothing he could do about it, the outside world was too dangerous. It had only been a single day, and he had already been ambushed twice, once for money, and once for his life!
"Motherf * cker, just who is plotting to kill laozi? If you have the guts, then come out and fight me!"
Xiang Yun couldn"t help but curse inwardly. Of course, this was only his words of complaint.
Who in the world would be so stupid as to stand out and say, "I want to kill the son of the Shoulder King!" At that time, the Emperor of the State of Feng Yun could immediately exterminate this man"s entire clan without Shoulder King even needing to personally act!
He cursed in his heart,
Xiang Yun began considering his future plans. He couldn"t possibly be holed up in the crown prince"s estate every day, right? Furthermore, the estate might not be completely safe.
When he had left the mansion, there had only been three people in the party. He, Lin Wan"er and an old coachman, Old Liang, had taken up three of them.
Xiang Yun had even suspected that the three of them were lucky to be able to reach Qin Feng city safely. Nothing had happened along the way, so they had arrived here safely.
Afterwards, the servants of the mansion, the guards of the manor, Housekeeper Zhang, and Mr Liu had all been obtained through Xiang Yun"s business and had recruited servants from the manor.
From Xiang Yun"s point of view, that high and mighty King Shoulder no longer cared about his life or death. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have arranged for an old coachman to bring him to Qin Feng.Even though Xiang Yun"s life was in danger, that stubbornness had returned. He would absolutely not seek out that person from Silver City for help. Even if he were to die, he would not!
Therefore, he could only deal with all the dangers by himself.
What Xiang Yun wanted to know the most right now was which two parties were secretly attacking him. The three Qin siblings were being interrogated by Fatty Niu, and he wondered if there would be any results.
As for that a.s.sa.s.sin from the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins, he did not even know where the Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins was, much less ask about their employer. The current Xiang Yun felt that he was in a very pa.s.sive position!
He could feel that he had already weaved a huge net around him. He was prepared to step into it if he wasn"t careful, only to be caught and fished out by the opponent. Then, he would be killed on the chopping board without hesitation!"Ai …" Xiang Yun couldn"t help but let out a long sigh.
He had thought of relying on the ident.i.ty of the crown prince to lead a life of luxury and warmth. Now, it seemed that the ident.i.ty of the crown prince was simply tragic. His life could be in danger at any time!Thinking up to this point, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but think of the time when he had just transmigrated here. That little imperial son of his, Night Overseer, had died suddenly. Xiang Yun suddenly felt that something was amiss.
He suddenly thought of the foreign boss who sold him the aphrodisiac through his memory.
Now that he thought about it, Xiang Yun had discovered that the last time the shop owner had sold him medicine that day, he had given him a lot of silver. However, the shop owner had not the slightest hint of happiness on his face.
Of course, he could not detect this at all for the crown prince, who had his mind full of thoughts and only wanted to test out the medicine with a girl.
However, Xiang Yun had immediately discovered that something was amiss when he thought about it. Could it be that there was something wrong with the medicine that the shop owner had sold him as well!?
As Xiang Yun thought of this, his heart felt as if it had been frozen. It was only now that he realized that he had already fallen into someone else"s scheme the moment he had arrived in this world …
