Chapter 86: The Arrival of Assassins (2/2)

Lamps and torches were instantly lit up in the Murong Mansion. Batches of guards flooded towards the source of the potent Qi.

The pervasive powerful Qi also alarmed many other people in the mansion, including Cloud Murong, Sky Murong who were isolated in the East Garden.

”Qi of a Grand Kung Fu Master?”

”No. Grand Assassin.”

Sky Murong and the others walked out of the courtyard and raised their heads. Seeing the two middle-aged men in black on the roof of the highest house, they furrowed her brow.

”If I may ask, why did you pay us a visit at night?” Cloud Murong cupped his hands before his chest as a friendly gesture and said in a fairly respectful tone.

Showing respect to the strong was necessary. He didn't want to offend anybody.

Especially on this occasion when these two Grand Assassins gave off their potent Qi but didn't launch an attack, which indicated that they were probably not here to fight.

Hearing Cloud Murong's words, the slightly shorter and thinner one of the two assassins said in a deep, cold voice which sounded as if it had been amplified by some sort of device, ”Which one of you is the Lord of Luo City?”

Hearing this, all people in the Murong Mansion heightened their vigilance.

Sky Murong tried to step forward but was stopped by Cloud Murong.

”I am. What can I do for you?” Cloud Murong took a step forward and said.

The two glimpsed at Cloud Murong who was down below. Naturally, they noticed that those guards were all standing by outside the courtyard, as if they were not allowed to enter the East Garden, so all they could do was staring up at the targets with vigilant eyes.

It seemed that people in this Murong Mansion had really been infected with pestilence.

”I heard that a few days ago a teenage girl made a scene in Murong Mansion. And after that, the Lord of Luo City adopted her. I'd like to see that girl. Is she in?” another Grand Assassin said.

His words stunned all people of the Murong Mansion.

Surprisingly, these two Grand Assassin were here for Phoenix Wu?

Didn't that Phoenix Wu come from that small village? Why these Grand Assassins wanted to find her? Did she have a secret identity?

Cloud Murong kept silent for a while and then said, ”Sorry. She's already left Murong Mansion. Currently, we don't know where she is either. May I ask why you want to find her?”

”She left?”

The two Grand Assassins furrowed their brows and a murderous look flashed across the bottom of their eyes, ”You adopted her merely a couple of days ago, but now you're telling me that she left and that her whereabouts are unknown. It seems that you guys of Murong Mansion are trying to hide her from us.”

Killing aura specific to assassins accompanied by their powerful Qi spread outwards.

Earth Murong took a step forward and said in a deep voice, ”Why would we lie to you? The day before yesterday, she was evicted from Murong family.”

”Yes. Everybody in the Luo City knows this.”

It seemed that the two Grand Assassins hadn't expected the target would leave before they arrived.

”Then is there anybody who knows her whereabouts? Anybody tells me where she is will be handsomely rewarded,” the shorter assassin, whose code name was Nineteen, fished out a gold ingot and said to those people down below.

Seeing this, Cloud Murong knitted his eyebrows.

In a poised voice tinged with coldness, he said, ”Your Excellency, I've already said that she left. We don't know where she is. Currently, we're troubled by pestilence. Who has the time to look for that little girl?”

No matter what, the Murong family was the ruling family of the Luo City. How could they be bribed with a gold ingot? If they took the offer, how were they supposed to face residents of the Luo City?

As a result, although Sky Murong, Earth Murong and some others held grudges against Yun Wu, they didn't interpose to offer any information.

However, right on cue, a loud voice came from a courtyard.

”I know!”

Snow Murong, supported by two handmaids, slowly and arduously walked out of the courtyard of the west wing. Then she raised her head and looked at the two black figures standing on the roof of the highest house.

Hearing this, the two Grand Assassins instantly looked in the direction of the courtyard in the west.

”Very good, little girl. Tell us and this gold ingot is yours,” Nineteen slightly curved his lips and said.

But Snow Murong despised that gold ingot, ”I don't want your gold ingot. I want you to kill that damn bitch when you find her.”

Yesterday Yun Wu humiliated and threatened her. She was horrified but also deeply hated Yun Wu.

Hearing this, the two Grand Assassins burst into laugh.

”What a ruthless little girl. But I like you. Now tell us where she is. Your wish will surely be fulfilled.”

A vicious look flashed across the bottom of her eyes when Snow Murong heard his words, ”She's in a western–”

”Snow Murong!” suddenly, a sedate, resonant voice came, as if amplified.

Naturally, that voice was Cloud Murong's.

Hearing that voice, Snow Murong paused. With a frown, she looked in the direction of the East Garden which was not far away.

Eyes cold, the two Grand Assassins darted a sideways glance at Cloud Murong.

”It seems that you guys of Murong Mansion are really hiding something.”
