Hua-

All of the hidden assassins, including Blood Hand, felt a sudden buzz in their brain before they all fell onto the ground, one by one. Some fell leaning against the walls, whilst others tumbled down from the roofs.

All of them did not show any signs of life after that.

On each of their foreheads was a hole made from the penetration of a copper coin. Under the manipulation of World Energy, these copper coins had soundlessly killed every one of them in the darkness.

I really want to see what you guys will do next With a flash, Xue Ying’s figure disappeared from the alley.

Soon, several spies cautiously approached the pitch-black alley.

“Not good.”

“This, this…”

“All of them were killed by hidden weapons. I think the murderer must have assassinated them in the dark, catching them unaware.”

“Right. Look at the angles of where the hidden weapons came from. The murderer must have walked along the roof at the side of the dark alley and sneakily killed them all!”

The spies examined the corpses thoroughly. They analysed and concluded what had happened before hurrying back to report to the higher-ups.

…

Night fell. In one of the extravagant halls of the Sky Fire Trade Union Headquarters.

“The murderer sneaked his way in and used hidden weapons to kill all of them?” President Nan Meng Xin’s expression was ugly. “The assassins that Blood Hand brought with him were all elites. They were also extremely careful in finding the right place to hide. Yet this murderer was able to discover every single assassin and even ambush them… I fear he must have used World Energy to observe our men’s positions. This murderer… is he actually a Legend ranker?”

Previously, he had only casually exclaimed the possibility of the murderer being a Legend ranker, after all, Nan Meng Xin knew in his heart that the possibility of him being one was extremely low.

Because…

The number of Legend rankers were too few and far between! The number of Legend rankers who could attain One with the World in the entire Azure River County did not even surpass ten, and all of them were extremely famous. For there to be an unfamiliar Legend ranker appearing, it was was borderline impossible.

He had honestly felt that at the very most, it would be a Silver Moon Knight who was very formidable and specialised in hidden weapons. Even if he were to borrow some type of unique Refiner treasure to attain the combat power of a Legend ranker, he should still be someone whom the team he dispatched could deal with. But One with the World… if the murderer was careless, they might succeed. But should the murderer use World Energy to observe his surroundings, failure was definitely the final result.

“President, what should we do?”

“How should we handle this? Is he going against our Sky Fire Trade Union? Will he kill his way to our headquarters?”

“Should we notify the Dragon Mountain Manor and ask them to come and protect us?”

The upper echelon of the Trade Union became anxious.

“Stay calm!” Nan Meng Xin furiously shouted.

“All of you, return. Go back and stay inside your homes. Let’s watch the situation for now and see exactly what this Legend expert wants to do before discussing,” Nan Meng Xin bellowed.

Nan Meng Xin immediately left the headquarters, silently returning to his own hidden room. Right now, staying back at the Headquarters would only put himself in danger so he did not dare remain there.

The night passed by peacefully, and the sky gradually brightened.

That night, the Headquarters did not encounter any attacks.

Nan Meng Xinwas by himself in his pavilion, frowning and contemplating over the matter. The Legend ranked expert first killed off Vice President Yin and his bodyguards. He then deliberately stayed in the restaurant before killing the men I sent out! Clearly, he is provoking us. I highly doubt that things will end just like this. However, after a night, he didn’t come and assassinate us… What exactly does this Legend rank expert want? Or is it because he had some enmity with my Sky Fire Trade Union?

He was feeling quite fidgety.

A Legend rank expert who had attained One with the World and was proficient in hidden weapons was enough to cause unease amongst all those from the Sky Fire Trade Union.

I must settle this issue as soon as possible, and the only way to do so is for me to invite the Elders! Nan Meng Xin rushed to the backyard of his home before calling for a rank five flying beast that was currently resting.

“Let’s go.”

Nan Meng Xin jumped on top of the flying beast and flew off.

Hua-

With a flap of its wings, the gigantic green-coloured bird cleaved through the air and accelerated upwards into the sky.
