Chapter 302: Red Robes
“Victor, run for your life.”
At the right moment, a green-robed a.s.sa.s.sin sneered and looked at Victor with a hint of pity in his eyes.
“You just killed an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Blood Cloth House, and you will be tainted by our aura. From now on, you will live in the pursuit of the Blood Cloth House for the rest of your life!”
Since things had already come to this, the chances of a head-on confrontation were basically zero. The green-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin could only pray that Victor would spare him for the sake of the prestige of the Blood Cloth House.
“Tell me in detail.”
Victor lowered his body with interest and continued to question the green-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin. When the latter saw this scene, he mistakenly thought that Victor wanted to retreat, and his tone immediately became firm.
“a.s.sasins green level and above will place a part of their aura in heaven’s legacy plate in the Blood Cloth House. If an a.s.sa.s.sin of the Blood Cloth House falls, the aura in his body will be entangled with the murderer, and heaven’s legacy plate will be able to trace the murderer. No matter where you run to, you won’t be able to escape from the hands of the Blood Cloth House!”
“I see.”
Victor nodded thoughtfully. It had to be said that this was indeed a good idea. Victor could leave his aura to Lian Hua. This way, no matter where she was, Victor would be able to sense it.
“Alright, this conversation is over.”
Victor slowly stood up, sheathed the Purple Micro Divine Sword, and returned to Lian Hua’s side.
“What do you mean? You still won’t let us leave?”
“Let you leave? Hehe, what right did you have?”
Victor sneered and asked instead of answering.
It was very strange. When did I say that I would let you go?
Wishful thinking.
“Victor, don’t you understand? You killed the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Blood Cloth House. The Blood Cloth House will never let you go!”
“So? So I’m supposed to let you guys go? Why is it that the Blood Cloth House is justified in killing people? I can only be slaughtered like a lamb? What kind of bullsh*t logic is this?
“I’m definitely going to kill you. If the Blood Cloth House wants to kill me, go ahead!”
After he said that, Victor waved his big hand, and the ground instantly cracked and swelled up, turning into a pair of giant hands. The two a.s.sa.s.sins in green clothes were crushed into pieces!
Looking at the mess on the ground, Victor frowned. With a thought, the blood and broken limbs disappeared.
“I didn’t expect the Blood Cloth House to grasp my whereabouts so quickly. I have to speed up. If this drags on, I’m afraid more people will come looking for me.”
“Wait, Don’t you want to know who sent them here?”
“Who else could it be other than the Fire Sect?”
“Who knows? It won’t hurt to see.”
Lian Hua chuckled and hugged the zither. Her green fingers touched the strings, and instantly, the music of the zither spread.
“Don’t tell me you have some skills.”
Although there was no spiritual power fluctuation, Victor could still sense an invisible force acting on his soul, which made him feel very relaxed.
However, Victor soon noticed that four invisible souls appeared in the Small World.
“Soul Condensation?”
“Young master, you have good vision. I don’t have any ability, but this method is quite magical.”
Lian Hua chuckled, and the music stopped abruptly.
“Young master, please feel free to ask any questions within 15 minutes.”
“15 minutes? That’s enough.”
Victor nodded and slowly stood up. He walked up to the soul and said, “Tell me, did the Fire Sect issue a kill order against me?”
“The green-robed a.s.sa.s.sins have no right to know about this. We are only responsible for accepting missions.”
“Alright, how many people accepted the mission to kill me? Will the Blood Cloth House keep chasing me?”
“A total of 132 green-robed a.s.sa.s.sins accepted this mission. Four purple-robed a.s.sa.s.sins and one red-robed a.s.sa.s.sin. If the mission is not completed within half a year, the mission will be automatically canceled.”
“Didn’t you say that if I kill the green-robed a.s.sa.s.sin, I will be hunted down by the Blood Cloth House endlessly?”
“Only those above purple-robed would receive such attention. Green-robed a.s.sa.s.sins are not qualified.”
“As expected.”
Victor nodded thoughtfully. The words of the green-robed soul had indirectly verified his guess.
There were countless green-robed a.s.sa.s.sins in the Blood Cloth House. If there were not 100,000 of them, the numbers should not be too far off.
With so many people, how could the Blood Cloth House have so much energy to reward each and every one of them?
After thinking for a moment, Victor asked again, “How’s the overall strength of the Blood Cloth House?”
“In the Blood Cloth House, the tower master rarely shows up. Only the lord in red has the qualifications to meet the tower master. As for the lord in red, there are a total of three people. There are 108 purple-robed people. There are no statistics below green-robed.”
“108 purple-robed people?”
If the strength of purple was around the nascent soul realm, then the power of the Blood Cloth House was a bit too terrifying!
No force in the five plains would have such a terrifying foundation with 108 nascent soul realm cultivators!
Moreover, there were three people in red, whose strength must be at the soul formation realm!
Plus, the Blood Cloth House’s master, who rarely showed his face, must have unfathomable strength!
No wonder the Blood Cloth House was so confident that they dared to make a name for themselves on the Great Snow Mountain!
However, Victor could understand why the purple-robed a.s.sa.s.sin had accepted this mission. After all, to them, he was just an ant at the spiritual pedestal realm. If they could casually kill him, they would be able to obtain an extremely valuable reward. Why not?
However, the red-robed a.s.sa.s.sin had also accepted this mission. This made Victor somewhat confused.
How could a soul formation cultivator do this to a spiritual pedestal realm junior?
Could it be that there was a treasure in the reward that could move even the red-robed a.s.sa.s.sin?
He was actually so valuable?
Victor did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Forget it. Since things have come to this, let’s take things one step at a time.”
Although Victor was a little surprised that the Fire Sect was willing to chase after him at such a high price, what else could he do?
“Speaking of which, Lian Hua, I haven’t asked you where you’re going when you return to the Southern Plains.”
To Victor’s knowledge, there was only one faction that had a similar inheritance. Coincidentally, that faction was in the Southern Plains.
Furthermore, Victor had met the future successor of this faction, Xiao Chenggan.
“Young master, you’re suspecting that I have a connection with the Xiao family, right? After all, only the Xiao family of the Southern Plains has such an inheritance.”
“I’m just curious.”
“Young master, don’t worry. As long as young master brings me back to the Southern Plains, no matter what happens, I will not trouble you.”
After saying this, Lian Hua put away the zither and placed it in the statue’s embrace.
“That is not what I meant. You have misunderstood.”
“Young master, have you forgotten? My eyes can peer into people’s hearts. I naturally know what young master is thinking. It is precisely because of this that I do not want to drag young master under the water.”
“Fine, let’s not talk about this. Do you want to go out with me? Or do you want to stay here?”
Victor waved his hand and did not pursue this matter.
“Let’s go out for a walk and get some fresh air. The smell of blood here is too strong.”
Lian Hua wrinkled her nose and chose to leave with Victor.
