"Misty Rain Building... the na does have so artistic conception!"
Gu Lan looked at the signboard of the Nightwalkers' headquarters and chuckled softly.
There was a rumor about Misty Rain Building in the Nightwalkers.
The building had nine floors, with a powerful individual sitting on each floor, and their strength progressed layer by layer.
The person sitting on the top floor was Li Xiong, the Divine Feather God Arrow in the Immortal Realm!
Countless people from the martial world ca to challenge the building, but no one had succeeded in passing through all the floors!
The naplate was well made, the virtual na sounded tall and grand, giving the organization's mbers a sense of pride.
It indeed had a considerable attraction to people in the martial world. However, for true experts, it was all show and no substance.
Just like now.
A figure walked out of Misty Rain Building, wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. When he saw Gu Lan, who was accompanied by two children, he was slightly stunned!
Is he here to challenge the building or to assign a mission?
Why bring two children along?
Gu Lan saw his face and recognized him. He was the Nightwalker, Yin Liang, whom he had encountered in the back alley of the Jixia Academy so ti ago.
At that ti, Yin Liang had taken an assassination mission in the capital. Now, it seed that he had not succeeded; otherwise, there would have been news of a court official being assassinated.
"I'm here to post a mission and find your building master, Li Xiong."
Gu Lan said indifferently.
Hearing his words, Yin Liang, who couldn't discern his cultivation level, furrowed his brows and replied, "What mission? Just hand it over to !"
"Also, don't directly address our building master by his na. The first ti is forgiven, but if I hear it again..."
Slap! Slap!
Gu Lan got impatient with his nonsense and directly swung his palm through the air. Two blood-red palm prints appeared on Yin Liang's cheeks, and he was sent flying!
Several broken teeth fell out of his mouth!
Walking past him, Gu Lan left behind a few words, "Do business as business. Why do you feel like you're superior?"
Yin Liang knew that this person had probably hidden his true strength, far surpassing his own. There was a trace of resentnt in his eyes.

Hastily, he took out a jade stone and crushed it!
Dozens of figures in black rushed out of Misty Rain Building.
"Soone is challenging the building and injured the steward. Quickly, confront the enemy!"
Even such a diocre guy was a steward...
Gu Lan shook his head and paid no attention, walking straight into the building.
Seeing his disdainful attitude, the black-clothed n were enraged and drew their swords to charge at him.
At this mont!
The little girl following Gu Lan frowned, glanced to the side, and the fire elents within a radius of ten miles suddenly erupted and boiled!
The flas of the Phoenix instantly ignited on the bodies of the black-clothed n nearby.
The temperature of the Phoenix flas was extrely high, and several people were instantly burned to ashes!
The crowd in Misty Rain Building was shocked!
They didn't expect that even Gu Lan's little companion would be so powerful, and there was also a Daoist beside her with an equally indifferent expression. This ti, it seed that they had encountered a tough opponent!
"Quick, go and inform the building master!"
A Nightwalker made a wise decision.
Instead of challenging the floors one by one, it was better to directly reveal their trump cards; otherwise, the entire Misty Rain Building might be slaughtered!
Gu Lan stopped in his tracks, watching a man in a martial attire float down from the top of the tower, carrying a pot of mysterious iron arrows on his back, yet with no bow in his hands.
Evidently, he was the leader of the Nightwalkers, the widely renowned Divine Feather God Arrow, Li Xiong!
"Who dares to intrude?" Li Xiong asked.
"I have no intention of intruding; I'm here to do business with you," Gu Lan said, combining courtesy with a martial deanor.
He smirked and pointed at the disgruntled Yin Liang lying on the ground, "Unfortunately, your subordinate here was impolite to . Being high and mighty, it's quite displeasing. I rely gave him a slight punishnt."
Li Xiong also sensed Gu Lan's extraordinary nature and turned his gaze towards Yin Liang.
"Master, he was the one who addressed you directly; I was just teaching him a lesson!"
Yin Liang was afraid that his master would sell him out to avoid making enemies.
Hearing this, Gu Lan smiled without saying a word, quietly observing the situation.
In the end, Li Xiong sighed, and in a cold tone, he said to Gu Lan, "Indeed, it was his fault for offending you.
However, if I don't take action after you injured a steward in my building, it might be challenging to appease everyone!"
Li Xiong condensed a true qi longbow in his hand, picked up an arrow, and aid it at Gu Lan.
"If you can withstand this arrow, we won't pursue this matter any further. How about it?"
Accept an arrow, huh... Gu Lan waved at him and turned to look, signaling both Gu Xiaoqi and Zhongren not to move.
The Immortal Technique Flying Sword Art he had acquired just yesterday.
Today was a perfect opportunity to test its sharpness!
Ping!
Li Xiong drew the bowstring to its limit, and the arrow shot out explosively.
As the mysterious iron arrow flew closer, Gu Lan remained unmoved. Yin Liang, on the other hand, couldn't help feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"This guy is done for; even at the pinnacle of the Immortal Stage, the master wouldn't dare to resist the arrow like this. How strong can he be?"
The mysterious iron arrow produced a series of true qi explosions.
Finally!
Gu Lan easily caught the arrow between two fingers.
Seeing this scene, Yin Liang's eyes almost popped out, and Li Xiong was also stunned!
Then, Gu Lan lightly twisted his fingers, and the so-called hardest material, the mysterious iron arrow, snapped like a bamboo stick. It looked even easier to break than a bamboo rod!
"My apologies, it was Li Xiong's mistake for offending you!" Li Xiong realized the situation and imdiately apologized with a cupped fist.
However, things couldn't end so easily!
"You shoot an arrow at , and you also have to take my sword. That's fair..." Gu Lan chuckled, condensing a mini sword qi in his hand, shining with a jade-like color.
Li Xiong's expression turned ugly.
As an Immortal Stage expert, he had a stronger sense of perception than others. Although Gu Lan's sword qi was small, he could feel the terrifying power contained within it!
"What cultivation level is this person? Such a powerful individual doing business in my Misty Rain Building, isn't it redundant!" Li Xiong sweated coldly, complaining in his mind.
The jade-colored sword qi flew out from Gu Lan's hand in the next mont, directly aiming at Li Xiong's face!
Li Xiong's muscles tensed suddenly; he moved backward while continuously drawing his bow and shooting arrows, trying to intercept the sword qi!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of tal clashed in the air, and at the mont the mysterious iron arrow collided with the sword qi, it was completely rendered useless. Li Xiong retreated dozens of yards!
Checking the quiver, it was already empty!
The jade-colored flying sword qi showed no signs of weakening, making Li Xiong's heart turn cold!
But at this mont!
Instead of killing him, the flying sword suddenly stopped in mid-air and transford into a slap, delivering two resounding slaps to Li Xiong's face!
Li Xiong was dumbfounded!
Although he got beaten up, he was extrely grateful to have saved his life!
"This is the consequence of your lax managent. Rember it well. I still need you to help kill soone, so I'll spare your life for now," Gu Lan said indifferently.
Li Xiong was stunned for a mont but didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly drove away the shocked onlookers and led Gu Lan to the top floor of the Misty Rain Building.
Clang!
Gu Lan placed two gold ingots on the table and looked at Li Xiong, saying, "Help kill soone, and consider these two hundred gold coins as the down paynt."
"Who do you want to kill?"
Since Li Xiong ran a assassins' organization, he was naturally money-oriented. Seeing the shiny gold, he felt that the trauma caused by the two slaps had been sowhat alleviated.
"The Yu Dynasty, the Crown Prince!"
"Who? The Crown Prince of the Yu Dynasty?" Li Xiong was surprised.
"What, do I need to add more money?" Gu Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"No... no need! I was just genuinely surprised!"
Li Xiong nodded, smiling apologetically. Nightwalkers did not belong to any dynasty and even changed their headquarters frequently. Killing princes was not sothing new for them.
"If you personally handle it, as for others... it's not easy to kill!" Gu Lan reminded, thinking about the existence of the Yu Emperor's Seal.
"Of course!" Li Xiong assured, "It is an honor for the Nightwalkers to work for soone as strong as you, and it's also my honor, Li Xiong!"
