55 Chapter 55 (1/2)

Duan Ru was the Demonic Sword Sect's representative in Nexus City and perhaps the most powerful man even above the 13 Families combined. A true 6th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm!

”I don't advise you to disturb the Emissary, Yan Kun. You'll only have your head decapitated in reward for your efforts to see him.

Master Duan Ru particularly doesn't want to be distracted in his closed door cultivation.” Patriarch Yan Rong answered frankly.

”I see. Thank you for your time, Patriarch.” Yan Kun prostrated sincerely in place and left right after.

'Seems like I really have no other choice but do that...' Yan Kun still hasn't given up yet.

”Hmmm...” Yan Rong moaned contentedly and continued to sleep the last five years of his life in peace.

In a secluded alley near the city slums, Yan Kun found himself an ally of sorts. Perhaps the last card he has left on his pockets.

”I want to hire a 5th Stage Expert to kill Lu Chen. Preferably in secret and would not alarm any of the 13.” Yan Kun said in a much deeper voice than he was used to.

He had a hood and a mask on as his purpose was solely for anonymity and nothing else.

”That will cost you 100 virgin maidens. Not one body less.” a man replied. This person was also heavily camouflaged in black robes with no clan insignia whatsoever.

”Deal.” Yan Kun agreed.

”Lu Chen will die tonight. The women must be ready by tomorrow.” the nameless man instructed and swiftly left the shady meeting place behind.

”They will.” Yan Kun muttered at no one and he was not the least bit concerned about the outcome of this mission.

'Nobody ever escapes the League of Shadow Assassins.'
