Outside the boundaries of Jiuzhou, on a suspended island in the international waters, nad Bright Moon.
On the small island, there were dozens of tents, and one of them, embroidered with the pattern of a phoenix, was set up next to a bonfire. Dozens of black-clad ard n were patrolling back and forth, vigilantly keeping watch.
Inside the tent, a woman heavily made up and dressed quite oddly sat on a chair draped with tiger skin.
This woman appeared to be in her early thirties. She sat with one leg over the other, tasting the fine wine in her cup while she asked,
"Sparrow, what’s your take on this? Should we take action or not?"
Opposite the woman, a golden-haired girl with green eyes was squatting. If Mo Han were here, he would recognize her at a glance. She was the Goryeo mixed-blood girl who had once planned his assassination—Liu Yuanxi.
Liu Yuanxi, one of the twelve experts of the ruthless Cangying rcenary Group, voluntarily went to Jiuzhou to investigate Mo Han after learning of the deaths of rcenaries Vulture and Crow and their connection to Mo Han.
To learn more about Mo Han’s background, she even approached Mo Han’s wife, Luo Ning, under the pretense of a job interview.
Eventually, she planned an assassination against Mo Han at the Spring Breeze Restaurant.
Although her plan was perfect, it underestimated Mo Han’s capabilities. That night, Mo Han not only neutralized the assassins and snipers arranged by Liu Yuanxi, but he also located her hiding place and defeated her with just one move.
As a warning to Liu Yuanxi and the rciless Cangying rcenary Group backing her, Mo Han broke one of her arms. This incident led to Liu Yuanxi’s reluctant step down from her position among the Twelve Golden Assassins, remaining by the side of the Phoenix Leader.
"Leader, if I’m not wrong, the deaths of several experts from our Cangying rcenary Group in Jiuzhou at the hands of Mo Han is probably information deliberately released by soone."
Liu Yuanxi pondered for a mont and replied in a grave voice, "This person must bear a considerable grudge against Mo Han. His likely goal is to provoke our rcenary group into taking action against Mo Han!"
"The source of the information cos from the Nie Family in Dragon City."
The Phoenix Leader, sitting in the tiger skin chair, sipped her red wine, squinting as she spoke, "Not long ago, Nie Family Head Nie Zhenyuan and his son Nie Huihuang visited Jiangling City. It’s said that they were outmaneuvered there."
"Nie Huihuang suffered a fractured bone in his right hand, and there are also rumors claiming his lower body was crippled, rendering him impotent."
Liu Yuanxi was taken aback upon hearing this. Both crippling one’s hand and lower body were extre asures.
Nie Huihuang, after all, was the leading heir to the prominent Nie Family of Dragon City. Who could be so ruthless?
Phoenix seed to sense the puzzlent in her subordinate’s eyes, her lips curling slightly as she uttered two words, "Mo Han!"
"It’s quite peculiar; soone had offered a thirty-million bounty for Mo Han’s head on the dark web today, but for so reason, within only half a day, the post was taken down."
Liu Yuanxi beca more confused the more she heard. The dark web was the underworld’s list for assassination targets, and normally, once soone is listed for a bounty, the posting wouldn’t be removed unless they were killed.
Neither withdrawal by the client nor the target’s death would make it possible.
Yet now! Mo Han, a listed person, had the post regarding him removed in half a day!
Could it be that Mo Han has been killed?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she imdiately dismissed it.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
She had had dealings with Mo Han and knew his martial prowess to be unfathomable, likely an Earth Ranked Expert within the Innate Realm.
And Mo Han was not just any smart man. Liu Yuanxi could not believe he would be killed within half a day.
Considering this, Liu Yuanxi raised her head and said, "Leader, that man surnad Mo is no ordinary person. His mind and cultivation are the strongest I have ever encountered in my life."
She paused, looking at the Leader with a serious tone, "He once declared in front of his subordinates that if our Cangying rcenary Group dared to provoke him or his family again, he wouldn’t hesitate to annihilate our entire group..."
Phoenix set down her wine glass, her enticing lips curling slightly with a smirk, "Such audacity, to think of exterminating our Cangying rcenary Group!"
"It seems I must personally go to et him."
"Don’t!"
Liu Yuanxi hastily gestured with her hands, pleadingly saying, "Mother, you’re no match for him!"
Mother?
So it turned out that Phoenix was not only the Leader of the rcenary group but also Liu Yuanxi’s biological mother, which explained the latter’s profound concern.
"Mother, you haven’t fought him. You don’t understand the pressure he exudes."
Liu Yuanxi spoke anxiously, "He was able to detect my position and that of several snipers from two kiloters away, and he could also reach us within a matter of seconds!"
"Not only that, he was able to anticipate the trajectory of sniper bullets, accurately avoiding them, and even within two ters, he could precisely dodge the bullets."
"Nie Kuangtu, a renowned Innate Realm expert, couldn’t last a single move against him, and I, along with Vulture and Crow, were subdued by him in one strike. If he hadn’t intended for to return with a ssage, I fear..."
She shook her head, then earnestly added, "Mother, this is clearly a plot by Nie Zhenyuan of Dragon City to use us as a pawn to kill! They want to incite conflict between our rcenary group and Mo Han!"
"We must not fall for it!"
