176: The heritage of Qingyi Tower
Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against!
The wisdom passed down by the ancestors was indeed profound.
The current Chen Fei wouldn't fear a head-on battle with a King-level Rank 1 at all.
But those who sneak attack from behind, don't summon beasts, and only use hidden weapons are indeed harder to guard against.
Furthermore, he had become the biggest weakness of the Four Beasts; it seemed the Hidden Origin Art wasn't profound enough.
Currently, small-scale movements wouldn't expose him, but within a large range and moving quickly, he would be discovered by those who were observant.
This sneak attack served as a wake-up call for Chen Fei.
It forced him to further improve his proficiency in the Hidden Origin Art or replace it with a higher-level Concealment technique.
The Rank of the Hidden Origin Art was still too low after all.
Little Gu and Chi Yu scratched their heads beside Chen Fei, unable to help at all, anxious to death.
Fortunately, Wu Yun rushed over and, with a frown, cast a Peak-level [Star Healing] on him; since it was nighttime, the healing effect was significantly enhanced.
The wound stopped bleeding, recovered, and then scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Chen Fei's face remained pale, and his Origin Qi had not been fully replenished.
"Meow~ How are you doing?"
Chen Fei stroked the heads of the beasts: "I'm fine now, don't worry.
Let's go, let's help Lin Ya over there."
Before Chen Fei's voice could even fade, several more figures flashed over.
They were the Four-Horned Sheep Demon Monster, the Calamity Heart Lantern Monster, and three Flesh Golems.
Since the High Priest intended to assassinate several Ministers, he wouldn't have just hired one group of assassins.
Instead, he had contacted the Mianling Ghost Tree to coordinate the operation.
The following five fifth-tier beasts were the Mianling Ghost Tree's arrangement.
If no King-level appeared, such a lineup would be enough to completely overwhelm Xing Shaoshan and the other four.
"Wave after wave, are they planning to start the beast tide war early?"
Chen Fei was also enraged; did they really think he was easy to bully?
If they really pushed him too far, he would directly take out the fifth-tier Rank 8 Puppet from the Sacred Codex Space and charge into the mist.
Before Chen Fei could act, a crystalline portal appeared in the sky, triggered by Xing Shaoshan.
Three King-level Beast Tamers stepped out of the crystalline portal.
They were Jiang Yiyi's father, Jiang Nan.
Xia Zhujun's father, Xia Qingcang.
And Bai Yang's uncle, Bai Yufan.
Seeing the three standing in mid-air, the Four-Horned Sheep Demon Monster gave a soft cry: "Retreat!"
Now was not the optimal time to attack, and they didn't have many backup plans.
If they continued to fight, it was hard to say who would live and who would die.
The other assassins were quickly cleaned up by the three King-level Beast Tamers, leaving only that King-Rank Assassin struggling to hold on.
"F*ck, the intel is wrong!
It was said they were all Grandmaster Level Ministers and we could flee once the strike succeeded.
What the hell is this now? They're already King-level Beast Tamers."
The most terrifying thing was that the three King-level Beast Tamers were closing in on this side.
The person developed the intent to retreat and used the Shadow System to flee far away.
Jiang Nan and the others didn't pursue; Shadow Evasion was practically a divine escape skill.
Unless one had Space System or Seal System abilities, it was basically impossible to catch up.
Coincidentally, Chen Fei happened to have the Space System Lin Ya.
Lin Ya took Chen Fei and the other Three Beasts to give chase.
"Phew, terrifying. This job was a loss!"
The assassins besides him were either captured alive or dead, and not a single target had been dealt with.
The Green Robe Tower's first operation since its emergence ended in failure.
He didn't dare stay in place for too long and planned to use the shadows to continue fleeing.
But in the next moment, he actually escaped into a strange space.
In this space, the gravity reached 15 times normal, making it so he could barely even straighten his back.
Finished!
Only this one thought remained in his mind.
No matter how his beast used Shadow Evasion, it couldn't escape this space; this was the power of the Space System.
When he saw the other party's figure clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief instead: "Good, good. It's just the Grandmaster Level Chen Fei. My fate isn't meant to end yet!"
But the opponent actually possessed a Space System Yao Beast; if I kill him...
Wouldn't this Space System Yao Beast belong to me?
He once again felt the intent to kill.
However, he didn't know the true foundation of Chen Fei, this "Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer."
Under a barrage of Flawless Grade skills, the person lost an arm and was wounded all over.
Only then did Chen Fei have the Four Beasts stop; he didn't intend to kill the person directly.
"Wu Yun, enslave him!"
The organization Green Robe Tower only cared about profit and ignored the Human Race's stance.
Since that's the case, this organization should also be destroyed.
Chen Fei kept this assassin because he wanted to use him to gather information for himself.
Severing one of his arms was to dispel the organization's suspicion of him.
Chen Fei didn't want a repeat of the War Drum Master incident, getting killed before truly starting to gather information.
"What is your name?"
"Master, we Green Robe Tower assassins don't have names, only code names.
I am Green Robe Tower Assassin No. 12, Ghost Shadow."
Hearing Ghost Shadow's words, Chen Fei paused visibly, "In other words, there are 11 people above you?"
Ghost Shadow denied it: "It's not like that! Those with numbers are just the assassins who carry out missions for the Green Robe Tower; they aren't the strongest.
Above us, there are the masters of the Five Towers: Green Robe, Scout, Hidden Fire, and so on.
The Master of the Green Robe Tower is a King-level Rank 7 Beast Tamer, and the other four tower masters are around King-level Rank 5..."
The Green Robe Tower didn't have an existence as powerful as the Extinction Cult's "Lord." After being enslaved, Ghost Shadow revealed all the information he knew.
Chen Fei was also secretly alarmed; as expected of the continent's number one assassin organization, its foundation was very deep.
"Take this sound transmission stone; I will contact you at any time."
Chen Fei didn't believe this pawn would be directly cut down like the War Drum Master.
If that were truly the case, it would only mean that this Green Robe Tower was even more terrifying than imagined.
Currently, having one Extinction Cult was already enough of a headache for Chen Fei.
He didn't want another organization to appear that could threaten him.
Once his strength improved, Chen Fei wouldn't mind paying them a visit.
It's only polite to reciprocate!
...At this time, everyone gathered in the hall.
"It seems we'll have to stay here for a while this time," Jiang Nan directly stated his thoughts.
The Evil Beasts in the mist were already stirring; being in Tianqing City would make support a major problem. It would be better to just find a place to stay in Baiyue City and be ready at any time.
"Then I thank King Jiang. We will arrange accommodation and necessary supplies for you."
Xing Shaoshan and the others naturally welcomed this.
As for Xia Qingcang and Bai Yufan, they didn't speak; they had their own considerations.
After waiting for a while, Chen Fei finally arrived in a hurry.
Both Xia Qingcang and Bai Yufan looked at Chen Fei; from their expressions, they clearly had many questions to ask.
Xing Shaoshan sent a sound transmission to Chen Fei: "Say what needs to be said. As for what shouldn't or can't be said, there's no need to speak. They can't coerce you; we have people backing us too."
Chen Fei gave Xing Shaoshan an "I understand" smile.
As for the background?
There were plenty of people backing Chen Fei; he wouldn't be afraid of two King-level Rank 2 Beast Tamers...
