Chapter 1656

Hei Lin's battle record is mostly hearsay; few have actually seen him act or know his true strength.

Thus, many cultivators in Zhu Tian Wan Jie call Hei Lin the most mysterious Top Prodigy.

If Hei Lin weren't the young master of Yongye, he probably wouldn't have such fame.

Upon receiving the urgent summons, Hei Lin murmured intriguingly, his master suddenly allied with the netherworld and Haotu Shijie, preparing to jointly face the demon race and the imperial palace.

That is somewhat interesting, and the world he currently inhabits happens to be not far from Haotu Shijie.

Seeing Hei Lin dazed on the spot, the middle-aged man who had previously begged for mercy after being frightened by him shifted his expression, seized the chance, and sprang up violently.

He swung a fierce punch straight at Hei Lin.

He had intended to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack, but before his fist landed, he saw a blade flash.

He didn't even see how Hei Lin struck; he only felt a sharp pain, and then his right hand was severed at the wrist by a blade.

At that moment, the short dagger in Hei Lin's hand was dripping with blood.

Though both were Emperor-level cultivators, this middle-aged man had no power to resist Hei Lin at all.

Even his sneak attack had no effect; after Hei Lin severed the man's arm with a single slash, he came to his senses and coldly smirked at the man.

"You picked a good moment, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak."

As he spoke, Hei Lin stepped closer; seeing this, the man trembled in fear and retreated, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Don't kill me, I'll pay you, I'll give you double the money."

Hei Lin shook his head and said.

"I'm not particularly interested in money, and Yongye's rules cannot be broken, so not even double, not even ten times will work."

After saying that, Hei Lin's short dagger swept across, instantly ending the man.

Yongye naturally has its own rules: once a mission is accepted, it cannot be changed.

Otherwise, if an assassin offered a higher price, would Yongye members really turn back and kill their employer?

If that were the case, wouldn't it be chaos? Who would dare cooperate with Yongye in the future?

Therefore, being an assassin also requires integrity.

Moreover, this middle-aged man was simply unlucky to have encountered Hei Lin.

What he just said was not false; as the young master of Yongye and the sole disciple of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, he naturally lacks no spirit stones.

Various treasures, as long as Hei Lin needs them, the Yongye organization will spare no effort to obtain them for him.

So, for Hei Lin, a double price holds little attraction.

After dealing with the middle-aged man, Hei Lin did not linger; his figure gradually faded into the darkness.

Meanwhile, everyone in the manor noticed nothing; they didn't even realize the middle-aged man was dead, and the assassin had left without anyone knowing.

After leaving, Hei Lin did not waste time; he boarded a spatial spirit vessel and headed straight for Haotu Shijie.

This spatial spirit vessel's speed is not inferior to that of a Star Battleship, and it likewise reaches Emperor-level.

However, in terms of volume and defense, it may fall short of a Star Battleship.

Consequently, its price will be somewhat lower than that of a Star Battleship.

Yet an Emperor-level spatial spirit vessel is more suitable for a few people to travel, offering greater convenience.

Thus, within the Yongye organization, there are many Emperor-level spirit vessels, after all, assassins usually operate alone and rarely in groups.

For them, an Emperor-level spirit vessel is more practical than a Star Battleship.

The Star Battleship streaked through the Wújìn Xīnghǎi as a flow of light, heading straight for Haotu Shijie.

At the same time, within Haotu Shijie, under the command of Dao Yi Shengdi, the various major forces of Haotu Shijie were also actively preparing.

We cannot place all our hopes solely on the Yongye organization and the netherworld, can we?

Qi Xiong has not returned to the holy land for several days; he has been busy making arrangements at the entrance.

He was so busy he felt dazed, but Ye Zhangqing seemed unaffected; after lunch, as usual, he chatted with Luo Jiuyou in the backyard.

Also present were Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and a few others.

They naturally talked about listening to music in the Gōulán, such as how yesterday's top courtesan was.

Furthermore, since Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls were absent today, they spoke even more freely; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The main point is that they have repeated this topic over and over several times.

"We've said it five times already; still not enough?"

Looking at Xu Jie, still animated and excited, Ye Zhangqing said with a bewildered expression, I've listened so much I could almost recite it by heart.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie said with a reminiscent look.

"Junior brother, you don't understand; yesterday's courtesan was truly top-notch, that taste.......... tsk tsk tsk.............."

"My ears are hearing old cobwebs from you, you keep going on and on........... who."

Ye Zhangqing originally said helplessly, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly sprang up, a flash of light from his Space Ring, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand.

He directly chopped down at an empty spot on the left.

This sudden movement left Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping stunned; we just said it a few more times, no need to draw a knife, right............

"Senior brother, I won't say it anymore, okay?"

Looking at Ye Zhangqing standing there with a knife, Xu Jie said with an innocent expression, he only said a few more sentences, you're making..................

Yet Ye Zhangqing paid no attention to his meaning, his gaze fixed firmly on the spot where the blade's light had passed.

Under Ye Zhangqing's stare, a black-clad youth gradually appeared, holding a short dagger, his expression doubtful as he looked at Ye Zhangqing.

The newcomer was none other than Hei Lin, who had come alone.

Luo Jiuyou beside him also recognized Hei Lin at a glance and scolded displeasedly.

"Do you have some weird habit? There's a door, why not use it?"

This guy got addicted to being an assassin? He has to sneak around for everything?

Originally, Hei Lin came to Dao Yi Shengdi, sensing Luo Jiuyou's aura, intending to give him a surprise.

So he shook off the guide disciple and, alone, sneaked to the back of the canteen.

With his concealment skills, he wasn't discovered along the way.

But he didn't expect that, as soon as he hid in the courtyard, Ye Zhangqing noticed him.

This surprised him, for even those of the same realm might not see through his hidden breath technique, yet Ye Zhangqing noticed the clue right away.

Even Hei Lin had to exert his full strength to block that blade of light just now.

Moreover, that strike exceeded Hei Lin's expectations; although both were Great Emperor cultivators, Ye Zhangqing's attack far surpassed that of an ordinary Great Emperor.

So at this moment, facing Luo Jiuyou's complaint, Hei Lin kept his gaze locked on Ye Zhangqing, his tone somewhat excited.

"Who is he?"

Compared to Luo Jiuyou, Hei Lin is now obviously more interested in Ye Zhangqing.
