Chapter 1408: Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao Again (1/2)

She didn’t overreact to his a.n.a.lysis and coldly replied: “An a.s.sa.s.sin is never afraid of death!”

Li Qiye disagreed: “Wrong. What are the rules of an a.s.sa.s.sin? The first is to stay alive, the second is to complete the mission. Only by staying alive would you be able to complete your mission.”

He slowly continued: “Any a.s.sa.s.sin must make ample preparation before a mission. For example, knowing the target’s ident.i.ty, strength, habits, weaknesses, and so on and so forth… By knowing the enemy, you will emerge victorious one hundred times in one hundred battles. It is meaningless to sacrifice oneself to complete a mission. That would render you a puppet, a tool for murder. You would be unable to go further on the dao of a.s.sa.s.sination…”

He turned dignified and said in a serious manner: “I won’t comment on the other a.s.sa.s.sin groups, but in my eyes, this dao is a type of cultivation, a study or even a strategy. It is not only about killing the target regardless of the price. The most important aspect about this dao is whether the user can carry out the overall strategy while evaluating whether it is worth doing. This is the rule of the G.o.dslaying Night Corps and the reason for its glorious exploits!”

Yujian’s expression changed after hearing this. Not only was this person familiar with a.s.sa.s.sins, the scary part was him revealing her lineage! In Heaven Spirit, no one knew their name anymore! Li Qiye’s knowledge has shaken her completely.

How could he not be familiar with it? He was the one who created this organization.

“I have made ample preparations!” She was as cold as ice. A qualified a.s.sa.s.sin would never be stirred by others.

“I don’t care who you are trying to take down from the Spirit Abyss, but I can a.s.sure you that you don’t understand it well enough. I don’t know who is in charge of the corps right now either, but your information regarding the abyss is lacking. Entering it means that you can easily expose your whereabouts. a.s.sa.s.sinating their members in their home isn’t wise either. This abyss holds unbelievable power in G.o.dhalt, outsiders simply can’t understand this.” Li Qiye well-meaningly advised her.

She stared at him coldly and left without saying anything. Despite knowing how strong the abyss was, she has accepted this mission so she must complete it without hesitation even if it was impossible.

Plus, not only did she not know him, he was also her previous target. How could she give up on the mission just because of him?

“Take this drop of blood with you.” He called her back and took out his own blood then flatly said: “You can find me or communicate with me through it if you are in danger.”

Yujian maintained her indifferent att.i.tude while staring at him. He didn’t seem to mind and put the drop of blood into a small bottle before placing it in her hand.

“Why?” She uttered emotionlessly, not knowing why this person was suddenly being so nice to her.

Of course, she wouldn’t think that it was out of infatuation. Li Qiye had no lack of women and furthermore, who would like an a.s.sa.s.sin? Of course, she didn’t think that he was seeking a favor either. An a.s.sa.s.sin was readily available as long as there was payment.

He insipidly replied: “Because of the G.o.dslaying Night Corps, that’s all.”

If others dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, he would have killed them long ago, not to mention lending them a hand. However, he was more lenient towards Yujian.

She had inherited the skills of the night corps and only lacked experience and polis.h.i.+ng. If she could gain both, she would be able to utilize the night corps’ skills to the fullest.

In the past, this regiment gained many ill.u.s.trious exploits for Li Qiye while hiding in the shadows. The future generations didn’t know that they had an indelible contribution in bringing light back to the nine worlds.

They retired after the end of the Ancient Ming Era. They never asked for anything, and the members either retired to live a mortal life or died from old age. Some hid in the mountains to never appear in the world again. Thus, if the situation permits, he would help Yujian who was a successor of the night corps.

She emotionlessly looked at him one last time before leaving. However, she stopped and told him a piece of information: “The Lunargrasp Fairy of the Celestial Pavilion has come into being, she will surely be a great opponent for you.” She flew and left afterward.

Yujian thought that these two would compete for the Heaven’s Will. Anyone would be wary of a terrifying existence like Lunargrasp.
