Chapter 185: Hidden Kill Hall
Translator: 549690339
Elder Gu watched the woman’s dispirited state and couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity. He tried to comfort her, “The inheritance here has already been taken by soone else. Even if we kill them, it wouldn’t benefit us. It’s better for you to go to Green Lion Mountain to obtain another inheritance while you can.”
The woman’s face was filled with frustration and resentnt. The inheritance within the stone statue should have belonged to her, but it was forcibly taken away by Fang Lin.
What was infuriating was that the array inside the stone statue was currently protecting the person she hated the most.
However, the woman wasn’t driven by her anger or hatred. She understood she could no longer obtain the White Elephant inheritance and realized it was the wisest choice to hurry to Green Lion Mountain to obtain another inheritance before the powerhouse from the Purple Mist Sect showed up.
The woman imdiately stood up. Without uttering a word or looking back, she rushed towards Green Lion Mountain on the opposite bank.
Elder Gu sighed deeply and glanced at the huge white elephant on the mountaintop with a complex expression before following after the woman.
The leader of the n in black clothes gave an order and the surviving n in black retreated quickly. There was nothing else they could do here. Furthermore, they had to leave before the powerhouse of the Purple Mist Sect arrived.
As for the bodies of their comrades on the mountaintop, the leader of the n in black wanted to recover them, but the thought of the terrifying white elephant deterred him from taking the risk, and so he had to abandon the idea.
Once the n in black retreated, they left behind nurous bodies on the mountaintop, having ransacked the fields of herbs on the mountain before they left.
After all, they had suffered considerable losses in this operation and lost many hands. If they didn’t take so herbs on their way out, they would truly have lost everything.
Fang Lin, who was under the protection of the stone statue, heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the n in black retreat. However, he kept the White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array intact in case the n in black tried so trick and launched a surprise attack.
“It seems like they’re all gone, ” Dugu Nian muttered from behind Fang Lin.
Fang Lin calmly said, “We should stay here just in case. It doesn’t matter what they do, they can’t hurt us. We just have to wait for help from our Sect.”
Everyone fully trusted Fang Lin’s words. They looked at Fang Lin with awe and admiration, including the remaining superior disciple.
After all, Fang Lin had just helped them escape from a desperate situation. At this point, they had unshakeable faith in whatever he said.
Fang Lin sat on the ground, looking slightly exhausted. He had also been tense during their escape, and it was the first ti he had activated the array inside the stone statue, relying completely on luck.
Fortunately, Fang Lin’s luck held, and he successfully activated the White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array inside the statue.
The other disciples of the Pill Sect also sat on the ground, panting heavily, feeling completely drained.
The sensation of a close brush with death gave them a deep feeling of gratitude and lingering fear. If they had run a bit slower just now, they might have been corpses on the ground at this mont.
At the sa ti, they felt regret for the three comrades who had scattered and fled. If they had stayed together, they might not have died so quickly and could have survived with the others.
Regrettably, one only has one life, and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
Fang Lin looked up at the white elephant. He wasn’t sure how long the White Elephant Trampling Mountain Array would last, but he suspected it should last throughout the night.
After a while, a lion’s roar that shook the heavens and earth ca from Green Lion Mountain across the river. A green lion rampaged down from the mountain, but then suddenly disappeared.
Fang Lin narrowed his eyes, guessing that the martial arts on Green Lion
Mountain had most likely been acquired, probably by that strange woman.
Fang Lin had originally wanted to also gather the martial arts inheritance from Green Lion Mountain, but now that seed impossible.
But Fang Lin wasn’t greedy. Having obtained the White Elephant Trampling Mountain was an unexpected joy. There was no need to brood over more.
As ti passed and everything remained quiet, Fang Lin was pretty confident the n in black had truly retreated. To be safe, Fang Lin didn’t dissolve the array. It was always better to be careful.
In the latter part of the night, the people of the Pill Sect finally arrived, among them were several martial powerhouses and four elders of the Pill Sect.
When they arrived at the mountaintop and saw the nurous bodies lying around, they gasped in horror.
Fang Lin promptly dissolved the array and the towering white elephant imdiately disappeared.
When the elephant disappeared, a subtle crack appeared on the stone statue, but it was so faint that one couldn’t notice it without looking closely.
“What on earth happened here?” asked the arrivals from the Purple Mist Sect.
Fang Lin calmly recounted the night’s events, as the listeners shivered in fear.
They also questioned the other disciples from the Pill Sect, and their responses were consistent with Fang Lin’s account, so everyone believed them.
“Let see who would dare to wreak such havoc,” said one martial powerhouse as he crouched down to examine the bodies on the ground.
Upon examination, they found that other than their weapons, these n in black had nothing on them.
“Hmm?” one of the elders from the Pill Sect noticed a black hand -print on the back of one of the n in black’s neck.
Upon seeing the black handprint, the elder’s face changed dramatically. Seeing his reaction, the others quickly looked over as well.
“What!”
“Is this?”
The other three elders and the martial powerhouses all had similar reactions upon seeing the symbol.
Fang Lin and the others, however, couldn’t understand why the black handprint was so frightening. They all looked at the others as though they’d seen a ghost.
An expression of seriousness appeared on Dugu Nian’s usually calm face as she glanced at the black handprint.
Seeing that Dugu Nian seed to know what the black handprint represented,
Fang Lin asked her in a low voice, “What does this symbol an?”
After hesitating for a mont, Dugu Nian finally explained softly, “This symbol indicates that these n are assassins from the Hidden Kill Hall.”
“Hidden Kill Hall?” Fang Lin repeated the words but he had no idea what this Hidden Kill Hall was.
Dugu Nian continued, “Hidden Kill Hall is an assassin organization that is opposed by all of the Nine Countries. Their influence spans all nine countries and they are extrely terrifying.”
Fang Lin nodded thoughtfully. So, it was an assassin organization, and it seed quite formidable by the sounds of it.
“They are from Hidden Kill Hall. This matter is important and must be reported to the Sect Master,” said the elder of the Pill Sect with a frown..
