The Assassin
"No wonder..."
Chen Ling ate the king crab while using his peripheral vision to look at those two dense large round tables. "The pillar defected, so the Esoteric Sect could only send out their most favored Young Sect Leader... It seems that this ti, all Five Great Realms are getting serious."
"The Five Great Realms, Puppet, Book, dicine, Craft, Chess, Strength?" Jian Changsheng clicked his tongue.
"Official Divine Path organizations are easy to deal with... What's truly terrifying are those civilian Divine Pathways who haven't joined official Divine Path organizations."
9 of Spades spoke faintly. "Experts are among the people, this sentence is really not just saying it... The most important purpose of the Five Great Realms setting up the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] is to gather those experts hidden outside the public's view together, giving them an opportunity to soar to the sky in one bound.
Among the niche paths in the Divine Pathways, so might only have one or two people; or those gradually declining Divine Pathways like Yellow, Divination, Drama, and Courtesan; and even those four ancient Divine Pathways that have long disappeared in the long river of ti... The current humanity needs these people. They are the protagonists of this trial."
...
"Burp—"
At the sa ti,
In the stead bun shop opposite, Sun Bumian swallowed the seventh stead bun and patted his stomach, letting out a burp.
He seriously stared at the only remaining last stead bun on the table, seemingly hesitating whether to finish it in one bite or pack it up and take it back for dinner...
...
"You an, the current Tianshu Domain is a mix of fish and dragons, and all kinds of monsters and freaks have co?"
"Exactly... So you guys must keep a low profile and try your best not to conflict with others. After all, our identities are relatively sensitive." 9 of Spades said earnestly.
Chen Ling lowered his head to look at the clean crab shells on his plate, pretending he didn't hear.
He actually wanted to keep a low profile...
But the [Imperial Fate] on his body, as well as the Audience inside him, might not necessarily agree.
"Did you hear that? Senior is pointing at you." Chen Ling simply shifted the bla to Jian Changsheng.
"?" Jian Changsheng, who was eating with his head down, froze, thinking that 9 of Spades was displeased because these twelve king crabs were too ostentatious. He nodded vaguely and said, "Understood, understood..."
Looking at these two 6-series mbers silently showing off their food, 9 of Spades sohow had a not-so-good premonition.
"Right, I almost forgot to give this to you." 9 of Spades took out an Envelope from his chest and handed it to the table in front of Chen Ling.
"What is this?"
"A letter sent over from our higher-ups, specifically for you." 9 of Spades shrugged. "I've joined for so many years, but I've never even had the chance to see a letter signed with 4 Ks..."
Chen Ling received the Envelope in surprise and found that the signature was exactly 4 Playing Cards, plus a Clown Opera Mask, with five large characters written on the front:
—— "To be personally opened by Little Junior Brother."
A letter sent by the senior brothers of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path?
The appearances of his senior brothers and Senior Sister surfaced in Chen Ling's mind, and his heart ward... Previously, Master had said that his senior brothers and Senior Sister had always been thinking of him. This should be that after Master went back, he told them that he was about to arrive in Tianshu Domain, so they wrote a letter in advance and sent it over.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jian Changsheng's eyes were full of envy. "What a grand display, Little Junior Brother~"
Chen Ling rolled his eyes, having no ti to pay attention to him at all. He was just about to open the Envelope to see what was written inside...
The next mont, a cold glint suddenly illuminated the entire restaurant!
A chilling killing intent surged out from nothingness like water without a source. Behind those two round tables next door, a black shadow was sketched out out of thin air. His five fingers clasped the head of the slowly eating Young Sect Leader like lightning, smashing it heavily into the round table!
Bang—!!!
This all happened too quickly. That person was like attacking from the gaps of ti, his fingertips directly tearing apart the ti... Neither the Chen Ling trio nor the other figures around the Young Sect Leader could react.
An extrely cold blade was grasped in that person's hand, piercing through the air and fiercely plunging into the back of the Young Sect Leader's neck amidst the shattered round table!
Dripping blood splattered out!
"Young Sect Leader?!!!!" The surrounding n in Black exclaid and sward towards that person!
That person's figure was extrely agile. He let go of that Long Sword piercing into the back of the Young Sect Leader's neck, floating backwards lightly, weaving through the encirclent of that group of n in Black like a ghost.
"... The Esoteric Sect of Hanging Jade Domain is nothing more than this." He sneered.
This sudden change directly dumbfounded the guests in the restaurant... It wasn't until the blood of the Young Sect Leader spread to under their feet that they suddenly regained their senses and frantically ran downstairs in terror!
For a ti, the entire second floor was basically empty, with only a table piled full of king crabs, and the three people sitting there with dumbfounded faces.
"... No, what's the situation here?" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened. "I know the current Tianshu Domain is very chaotic... but has it already beco this chaotic??"
"Path of the Courtesan, [Assassin] path huh..."
9 of Spades was an old senior after all. He saw through the origin of the person who attacked the Young Sect Leader with one glance. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Those who can walk on this path are mostly ruthless people... It is said that back then, the Pathway Chief of the [Assassin] path almost assassinated the Silver King who was about to step into Rank 9."
"Assassinated the Silver King??" Jian Changsheng said in surprise. "That fierce?"
"That peak battle between the thief and The Assassin is said to have lasted for three years. The Silver King was hunted down by the Assassin Chief all the way from South Sea Domain in the furthest south, to Aurora Domain in the furthest north... Later, for so unknown reason, the Silver King suddenly stepped onto the Demigod Position, and the situation was then reversed." 9 of Spades slowly spoke,
"After that, the Silver King vengefully hunted down all [Assassin] path possessors, almost causing the entire path to go extinct... I didn't expect that after so many years passed, a new [Assassin] would appear."
Chen Ling nodded thoughtfully, "A blood feud..."
"They started fighting, should we run or not?"
"Then what about these king crabs? We only ate half of it."
"How about... finding a shop assistant to pack it up for us?"
"..."
While the three were chatting, another roaring boom transmitted from the side again!
Thud—!!
A sharp blast wave spread in all directions, directly sending the three largest n in Black flying. The figure of The Assassin rushed out from the flying debris, but was tightly surrounded by other n in Black rushing over!
"Who are you? You actually dared to assassinate our Young Sect Leader??!" An angry roar of a Man in Black exploded like thunder.
"So what?" The Assassin spoke faintly. "Before him, I've already killed quite a few people today... But to be honest, he was the weakest. Completely unguarded, actually killed with just one sword... With just this level of standard, you dare to co snatch the Heaven-Reaching Star Position?"
