93: Chapter 93 Dare to harm his family! Only death can atone for it!

The mysterious headquarters of the Haiying Guild.

Inside the bone palace, netherfire flickered.

On seven bone thrones sat seven assassins shrouded in darkness. They were the seven strongest Bone-King level assassins of the Haiying Guild, as well as the seven strongest Elders; the weakest among them was at the Peak Rank 8!

Towering above them was the President of the Haiying Guild, the sole Leader of Haiying!

On the Scarlet Blood Bone Throne, a red figure suddenly appeared. She wore a red cheongsam and fashionable high heels. She rested her cheek on her right hand, tilting her head as she looked down at the Elders!

She wore a bone mask symbolizing her status as the leader, revealing only a pair of eyes. Yet, her eyes were eerily filled with runes, as if she could peer directly into the truths of the world!

This was the Leader of Haiying!

Apart from her gender, no other information was known, not even to the seven Skeleton Blades. Mysterious and powerful, she was the publicly recognized strongest Rank 9 legendary assassin in the world today!

"The damage to the Skeleton Shadow reputation in Yunlan City—the responsible Bone-King level Elder is to blame!"

The voice of the Leader of Haiying was like the sound of the Grim Reaper, making one's hair stand on end.

"Leader, I..."

The Bone-King level assassin codenamed Lv Hai, sitting below, broke into a cold sweat, wanting to beg for mercy.

Puchi!

It was unknown how the Leader of Haiying made her move, but this Peak Rank 8 Bone-King level assassin instantly had his HP bar cleared and collapsed on his throne, dead.

"I do not wish for similar incidents to happen again. Bai Hai, you are responsible for the Bone-King level assassin promotion bloodbath. Dismissed!"

"Understood! Leader!"

The six Bone-King level assassins vanished on the spot, including the deceased Bone-King level assassin Lv Hai.

Immediately after, the Leader of Haiying had to personally negotiate with Jin Nihuang, the person in charge of Jinbao Pavilion, to properly resolve this matter!

On the other side, Yun Xiangtian had already brought Lu Sen and his wife back to the Yunlan City Lord's palace.

The truth about the death of the Rank 7 Pavilion Master Tang Hai of Jinbao Pavilion had come to light, so he could continue to serve as the City Lord of Yunlan City without worry.

"Heaven truly helps me!"

Yun Xiangtian was in a great mood.

At the same time, he could roughly analyze that the incident in the Six Ring Mountain area was likely caused by a Skeleton Shadow Assassin attempting to assassinate Yu Linglong, only to be saved by a mysterious Beast Tamer, thus triggering the strange phenomenon.

Previously, someone had spotted a miraculous flame mount rushing towards Six Ring Mountain; that must have been the mysterious Beast Tamer going to save Yu Linglong.

Although Beast Tamers only possess the exclusive skill [Beast Taming] and cannot actively learn riding skills, if one completes a high-difficulty advancement quest and obtains a high rating, it is possible to directly receive a riding skill reward, thereby allowing them to contract a mount!

With this, the mysterious events in Yunlan City recently became clear. As long as he found Yu Linglong, or the mysterious Beast Tamer, he would be able to know exactly who the guy who killed the people of his guild was!

He suspected there were at least two culprits: one was the Beast Tamer, and the other was a profession unknown!

"Reporting to you, President, I have found a grave on a small hill behind the God-Slaying Pavilion guild; it is a grave belonging to someone named [Night Shadow]!"

Zhao Sanhu was still over at the God-Slaying Pavilion. He was looting, wanting to gain more benefits, and he had specifically reported the discovery of Night Shadow's grave.

"Night Shadow? Could it be that Rank 7 female assassin who protected Yu Linglong?"

Yun Xiangtian speculated in his heart.

The video filmed by Yu Linglong was panoramic, and he had noticed the corpse of Night Shadow.

"Dig up the grave and see if it is the corpse of a female assassin inside!"

"Understood!"

If it was, then it could be confirmed that the God-Slaying Pavilion was the stronghold of the mysterious Beast Tamer, and Yu Linglong was also hiding there.

To find out their whereabouts was simple; he just needed to torture Lu Sen and his wife. He wasn't afraid that they wouldn't confess; he had plenty of ways to make people spill the truth!

God-Slaying Pavilion!

After receiving the President's order, Zhao Sanhu called upon his external members and underlings, preparing to dig the grave!

Yu Linglong, who was hiding on the mountain, saw this and grew anxious. She couldn't care about anything else and immediately wanted to rush down the mountain to kill all these bastards!

Just then, Lu Chen returned.

He saw that many facilities of the God-Slaying Pavilion had been destroyed, and Zhao Sanhu and the others were preparing to dig up Aunt Ying's grave. Lu Chen's Killing Intent soared to the sky.

"Die!"

The second brother, Purple-Eyed Tiger, was the fastest. It was summoned, released its talent's active effect, and transformed into a phantom, killing its way toward Zhao Sanhu and the others.

"Oh no! Danger!"

Seeing a fierce, mighty tiger attacking, Zhao Sanhu immediately abandoned his subordinates and frantically ran for his life alone.

"Ah!!!"

The remaining external underlings were no match for the Purple-Eyed Tiger at all and were eaten one by one.

But Lu Chen had already locked onto him.

With a sprint from the Calamity Flame Spirit Skeleton King, Lu Chen easily grabbed him.

"Big Boss, don't kill me. I was just following orders. I have an epic-grade warhammer weapon on me; I can give it to you, Big Boss, please spare my life!"

Zhao Sanhu took out the weapon and equipment he had previously seized from Lu Tie, hoping to trade them for his life.

"Lao Tie's weapon?"

Lu Chen realized immediately that this Rank 5 guy in front of him was likely the person recently in charge of the Yunlan City ticket competition event, and also the guy who had seized Lu Tie's equipment.

"One piece isn't enough. Hand over all the other top-tier equipment in your backpack, otherwise, you can go see the King of Hell with your full set of equipment!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll hand it all over. I hope you keep your word, Big Boss!"

Zhao Sanhu handed over all his equipment, including what he was wearing, without a moment of hesitation; he didn't dare to hold anything back.

He guessed that the guy riding the flame mount in front of him was likely the culprit who killed Elder Mo Ren. He couldn't afford to provoke him.

After Lu Chen collected the equipment, he ignored him.

"Thank you, Big Boss, for sparing my life!"

Zhao Sanhu hurriedly got up to flee for his life.

But he was shot through the heart by an arrow from Yu Linglong, who had rushed down the mountain. Zhao Sanhu died with his eyes wide open.

"Chen, little brother, the Yunlan City Lord called over Chen Lao, a Peak Rank 8 Elder from Jinbao Pavilion, and they took Uncle Sen and Aunt Rou away together!"

"However, I have already released the video of the Skeleton Shadow Assassin killing Pavilion Master Tang Hai. Now, Chen Lao is already fighting with the Rank 8 assassin expert from Skeleton Shadow!"

Yu Linglong said hurriedly.

Lu Chen was stunned.

He glanced in the direction of Six Ring Mountain, where violent Domain energy fluctuations were constantly coming from—there were two of them, and the range of impact was extremely wide!

On the way back, Lu Chen had been curious about how two big shots were suddenly fighting; it turned out that the Rank 8 big shot from Jinbao Pavilion and the Rank 8 assassin from Skeleton Shadow had fallen out because of the video.

Lu Chen also truly realized the terrifying strength of Rank 8 experts. Such experts had such strong Domains that even if he gave it his all, he probably couldn't do anything to them.

He had thought that relying on his powerful attributes would narrow the gap with these top experts, but it seemed he had underestimated the suppression of Rank. The higher the Rank, the more obvious this suppression became!

The might of a Rank 8 expert could cover a large city, so how powerful must the strength of a top-tier Rank 9 expert be!

Lu Chen put away his other thoughts.

"Sister Linglong, the God-Slaying Pavilion is no longer safe. On the way to Yunlan City, we will pass by that special five-star invasion secret realm, [Silent Forest]."

"Sister Linglong, you go in there first and wait for me. Once I rescue my parents and level up to 150, I will go to meet you!"

Lu Chen could not take Sister Linglong to attack Yunlan City; otherwise, her identity would be exposed, and it was hard to say whether the Rank 8 big shot from Jinbao Pavilion and the Rank 8 assassin from Skeleton Shadow would stop fighting and target them instead.

Letting Sister Linglong go to the Silent Forest secret realm first was the safest option.

"Sister Linglong, remember, you only need to find a safe area within the secret realm to wait. You must absolutely not go exploring that hidden map!"

"Okay! I understand!"

Soon, Lu Chen escorted Yu Linglong to the Silent Forest secret realm. This place was still under the control of the Yunlan Guild.

This time, Lu Chen showed no mercy. Before they could react, his pet beasts killed them all with lightning speed.

After Sister Linglong entered the Silent Forest secret realm, Lu Chen then turned his cold gaze toward Yunlan City alone!

Dare to touch his family!

Only death can atone!
