Chapter 2339: Thus Ends

The other Martial Cultivators inside the City Lord's mansion were already staring dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected such a thing to happen, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

"Chase!"

When Wen Xing Tang saw that Liu Meng had been killed by his own men, he also began to realize that this matter wasn't that simple.

He immediately ordered a squad of soldiers to give chase, commanding them to capture that Martial Cultivator alive.

Several strong Martial Cultivators inside the City Lord's mansion also caught on and pursued that Martial Cultivator.

"Stop them!"

Wen Xing Tang, however, didn't let them go; he ordered the soldiers to intercept as much as possible.

But in this chaotic situation, a strong Martial Cultivator still had a chance to escape.

Three strong ones burst out of the City Lord's mansion, chasing after Ye Liuyun and his group.

After wiping out the Martial Cultivators inside the City Lord's mansion, Wen Xing Tang immediately led his troops to give chase.

Thus, everyone was chasing the Martial Cultivator who had killed Liu Meng.

That Martial Cultivator was intercepted by the city guards as he rushed to the city gate.

But no one noticed that, during his run, he had already tossed his Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun, who was chasing behind him.

After receiving the Storage Ring, Ye Liuyun quietly gathered the impostor soldiers around him.

He then pretended to be injured, halted the pursuit, slipped on the Invisibility Cloak while the others were unprepared, and returned to his residence.

That Martial Cultivator, under the control of Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal, recklessly charged the city guards, finally dropping his defense and being slain on the spot by the guards.

Immediately after, the three Martial Cultivators from the City Lord's mansion who were in pursuit also charged forward.

The city guards began intercepting them again.

Soon, the pursuers arrived and killed those three on the spot.

When Wen Xing Tang arrived with his men, not only were there no survivors left, but Liu Meng's corpse was also missing.

Wen Xing Tang also sensed something amiss, imprisoning all the soldiers present for investigation, yet still finding no clues.

At the same time, he had to insist that Liu Tianhe caused the trouble, that Liu Meng killed to protect his son, and that he actively attacked the garrison sent to investigate, thereby cementing Liu Meng's guilt.

This matter would surely be investigated by the Holy Land Dynasty later; only by exterminating all Martial Cultivators in the City Lord's mansion could he have any justification for his words.

So he dispatched troops again to wipe out every remaining survivor in the City Lord's mansion, leaving none alive.

Several major forces hadn't even arrived to reinforce Liu Meng when his side was already defeated.

Thus they immediately changed their stance, aligning with Wen Xing Tang's line and letting the dead take the blame.

Consequently, when the Holy Land Dynasty sent investigators, the case could only be brushed aside.

Since the grand talent selection tournament was about to begin, it couldn't affect the local Marquis's selection.

The Marquis overseeing the area, not wanting the incident to blow up, promptly appointed a new City Lord, recalled Wen Xing Tang's garrison, and suppressed the matter.

After returning to his Side Courtyard, Ye Liuyun thought that with such a commotion, a citywide search was inevitable.

Ye Liuyun also repeatedly sent people out to gather information.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the city remained unusually quiet.

Then the new City Lord took office, the local garrison was withdrawn, and a new garrison arrived.

This major incident, unbelievably, ended right there!

After such a huge incident, it was smoothed over so easily.

Ye Liuyun didn't rush to the Black Kill Secret Realm to submit the task; instead he pondered whether to become a direct-assigned assassin of Black Kill.

From this incident, he vaguely sensed the power behind Black Kill.

At least in these remote towns, Black Kill's influence was not to be underestimated.

If he could enlist this force, it would be far faster than starting from scratch himself.

Otherwise, toppling the Holy Land Dynasty, a colossal entity, wouldn't be a matter of a single day.

He also communicated again with Hei Feng and Liu Jing.

They all said that Ye Liuyun's low cultivation level actually made him more welcomed by Black Kill.

Because the greater the gap between a killer's realm and strength and the target's, the less likely the target will suspect.

Therefore, to get closer to Black Kill's core layer and learn its inner workings, Ye Liuyun decided to join Black Kill's direct-assigned assassin team.

Ye Liuyun returned to the Black Kill Secret Realm and handed Liu Meng's head to Seven Kill.

Such a huge incident didn't even require Ye Liuyun to speak; the Black Kill organization had already known the situation.

"Your borrowing‑a‑knife‑to‑kill move was played quite nicely!"

Seven Kill could not stop praising Ye Liuyun's performance.

Without explanation, Ye Liuyun exchanged points and then had Seven Kill process identity cards for Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang, Liang Bin, Xue Rongwu, Qian Mian, Black-White Dual Demons, Song Girl and others.

He planned to send some of them to the Marquis's city, Wanwei City.

The Wanwei Marquis, who governs this region, resides in Wanwei City.

The Wanwei Marquis oversees seven major cities and hundreds of smaller towns like Haoyue City, constituting the highest authority of Wanwei Territory.

Ye Liuyun wanted these people to first infiltrate Wanwei City, lie low, and scout the strength and relations of the major forces within.

Seven Kill asked nothing further and quickly gave Ye Liuyun the identity cards.

This time Ye Liuyun earned three hundred points; even after spending some, the remaining points were enough for him to join Black Kill's direct-assigned assassin team.

"Have you thought it over?

Do you want to officially join Black Kill?"

Seven Kill also posed the question to Ye Liuyun.

"I'll first look at the Divine Soul Contract to sign with Black Kill!"

Ye Liuyun also didn't immediately agree.

"Of course!"

Qi Sha agreed, presenting all the terms of the Divine Soul Contract to Ye Liuyun, and also giving a detailed explanation of any points he had doubts about.

After Ye Liuyun understood, he also felt that there weren't too many restrictions on his own affairs.

So he also agreed, and signed a Divine Soul Contract with Black Kill.

Qi Sha also immediately changed his mark, letting him input a trace of Divine Sense.

Also took out a Token, letting Ye Liuyun also input Divine Sense into it.

After Ye Liuyun input Divine Sense, that Token actually lit up.

Qi Sha told Ye Liuyun: "This Token is left in our Black Kill headquarters."

It can be used to locate you, and also to confirm your life or death.

If you are killed, this Token will be extinguished.

Afterwards, Qi Sha again brought Ye Liuyun out of this reception room, heading toward the rear hall of the exchange Grand Hall.

The rear hall's style is completely different from the front hall's; the main hall is arranged like a tavern, with many tables and chairs.

All around there are many private rooms, with doors all closed.

Many Martial Cultivators in black robes gathered at the tables chatting, and some Martial Cultivators directly showed their faces.

There are also some reception Elders, also chatting with these people.

"In the future, when you come to hand over tasks, you can come directly here to find me!"

Qi Sha pointed at a private room and said: "The main hall is all Black Kill assassins and some reception Elders."

Can come here to rest at any time.

Qi Sha said, bringing Ye Liuyun into that private room.
