Chapter 1453: Counterstrike

“I haven’t seen a watcher in a while.” whispered Lin Feng. If the watcher hadn’t gotten involved, maybe Wen Tian Ge would have died.

“That must be Wen Tian Ge’s Watcher!” thought Lin Feng. He was even more curious about the Watchers. Surprisingly, Wen Tian Ge had a Watcher, and nobody had noticed him.

“The assassins are also adepts at hiding. They had even dared to wait outside the Wen Clan’s territory. They’re absolutely fearless.” thought Lin Feng. A strong wind started blowing in the distance: Mister Wen and a few strong cultivators from the Wen Clan rushed over furiously.

“How shameless!” shouted Mister Wen furiously. That was the Wen Clan’s territory, an imperial clan, and assassins were waiting at the gate to kill their young cultivators.

Wen Tian Ge was soaked in a cold sweat. Those people weren’t too strong, but the explosiveness of their attacks was terrifying.

“Look, over there!” A strong cultivator from the Wen Clan pointed at a dazzling golden word “DIE!”. That gigantic word contained powerful deadly Qi. Many people raised their heads and immediately thought about the Imperial Assassin Union.

Mister Wen released deadly abstruse energy which then turned into a deadly sword. It crashed onto the “DIE” word and made it explode. Only then did it slowly disperse. Was Wen Tian Ge and Wen Ao Xue going to have to go through such things all the time?

“Grandfather, those three assassins came to kill us.” said a cultivator from the Wen Clan.

“Indeed, those people must die.” Lin Feng agreed.

“Thank you for your help, dear friend, and thank you to the Watchers’ Father.” said Mister Wen to the Watcher, smiling and nodding.

“That’s my duty.” said the watcher hoarsely. His plaited bamboo hat shook which meant he was probably nodding at Mister Wen. Then, he disappeared again. Lin Feng was wondering if the Watcher had really left.

“Watchers’ Father?” whispered Lin Feng. Who was the Watchers’ Father?

Who were the Watchers? And who was the Watchers’ Father? An emperor in the Ba Huang Province? Who were those people who acted behind the scenes?

“Mister Wen, who’s the Watchers’ Father?” asked Lin Feng.

“I don’t know either!” replied Mister Wen indifferently. “But he’s the one who raises the Watchers. They are the Imperial Assassin Union’s mortal enemies. Maybe there are new Watchers’ Fathers from generation to generation, or maybe the Watchers’ Father has always been the same person.”

“How mysterious.” said Lin Feng smiling.

Things just got more and more confusing for Lin Feng though. Many people would never know about the Watchers and the Assassins, they would only hear rumors and legends while going about their lives. Even Mister Wen couldn’t know precisely.

Lin Feng nodded and waved, “I’m going now, Mister. Goodbye!”
