Chapter 459: with translation of chapter title

Those who most want to get rid of Ye Liuyun are undoubtedly the Dark Night Demon Hall and the Golden Peng Dynasty.

However, they currently do not want their own people to take action, to avoid losses. Therefore, the two sides actually agreed to pool money, seeking an assassin organization to strike at Ye Liuyun.

And within the Golden Peng Dynasty's territory, the most famous assassin organization is Bloodhand.

Bloodhand, this assassin organization, only cares about money, not about people; they take any job, dare to kill anyone, as long as the price can be paid. Moreover, their assassination missions have never failed.

It is said that their organization's strongest assassin, Blood Shadow, has successfully assassinated even a Martial Cultivator of the Eighth Layer of Tiangang.

Even other well-known assassins, such as Wind Blade and Void Slash, find it easy to assassinate Martial Cultivators of the Fifth or Sixth Layer of Tiangang.

Therefore, no one dares to provoke Blood Shadow's assassin organization, for fear of their retaliation.

The news that the Dark Night Demon Hall and the Golden Peng Dynasty hired assassins naturally could not escape the notice of the Iron Eagle Sect.

Upon learning this, Jing Wudi also immediately informed Ye Liuyun and seriously reminded him, fearing he might be careless.

Ye Liuyun also discussed it with Wu Qingcheng. After all, Wu Qingcheng used to be an assassin and is relatively familiar with this line of work.

"You hiding won't help. There's only one solution: just as you once destroyed the Dark Night Hall, destroy this Bloodhand organization. Otherwise, you will face endless pursuit; they will keep sending stronger people." Wu Qingcheng obviously knows the rules and behavior of assassin organizations better.

"Good, then since that's the case, let's go out and fish while they haven't sent their strongest yet!" Ye Liuyun also does not advocate always hiding.

Besides wanting to destroy this assassin organization, he also wants to give the Golden Peng Dynasty and the Dark Night Demon Hall a taste of their own medicine, to let them know that Ye Liuyun is not a soft persimmon to be pushed around; if they want to kill him, they must pay a price.

"First figure out how to find that assassin organization's lair. Even some hired assassins don't know the lair; only the assassins they themselves trained know its location."

"Well, then just keep killing and searching souls until we encounter one of their own trained assassins." Ye Liuyun currently has only this method.

"That's feasible. I'll stay by your side from now on. Although my cultivation is not high, I am still relatively familiar with assassins, so maybe I can give you a heads-up." Wu Qingcheng voluntarily requested.

Ye Liuyun also agreed. He felt that with his ability he could still guarantee Wu Qingcheng's safety. Moreover, Wu Qingcheng said that assassins' targets are always clear; they won't kill extra people for no reason.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun was about to go out, but Wu Qingcheng stopped him again.

"Why the rush? Break through first, then go out; that's also safer. If you break through outside, it just gives the assassins an opportunity. Even if you break through here, you must make full preparations; some assassins wanting to get in will surely find a way."

"Alright then, I'll break through first, then go out."

Ye Liuyun thought the same. If he broke through, he could still catch those assassins off guard. They would certainly investigate his situation before acting.

Moreover, his Void Power can be further cultivated. He has nearly mastered the Void Escape Technique. It's time to ask the artifact spirit of the Xuan Kong Shi for the next stage of spatial power cultivation method; otherwise, relying solely on his own comprehension without a guiding method will make his future progress very slow.

"Moreover, in a few days your Rivers and Mountains Cauldron and Mountain-flipping Seal will be returned. Bring everything with you before going out, that will also be safe. Once you get the Mountain-flipping Seal back, give it to Lei Ming; she currently has no noble-rank treasure, often helps you in battle, and that's not safe either." Wu Qingcheng reminded him.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then naturally held Wu Qingcheng in his arms and softly said: "You really thought things through! It's also time to get that girl a noble-rank treasure. And after the Rivers and Mountains Cauldron returns, I still want to refine some pills."

Wu Qingcheng's face flushed slightly, and she didn't struggle free; although she stays by Ye Liuyun's side, the time they can be close is really not much.

Ye Liuyun also often feels indebted to Wu Qingcheng, so taking advantage of this time when no one is around, he hugged her, also counting it as comforting her.

But just as they were enjoying this rare moment of happiness, the Ninth Princess and an Iron Eagle Sect disciple burst in in a fluster. Wu Qingcheng immediately broke free from Ye Liuyun's embrace, turned her back, and her face flushed crimson with embarrassment.

Ye Liuyun looked at the two of them, puzzled, and asked: "What's wrong? What matter is so urgent?"

"Brother Liuyun, I've caused trouble; you won't blame me, will you?" the Ninth Princess said, feeling somewhat wronged.

Another Iron Eagle Sect disciple also urged: "Lord Ye, you should go and see; the one the Ninth Princess injured is the Grand Elder's son!"

"It's not my fault! They provoked me first!" the Ninth Princess ran to Ye Liuyun's side, grabbed his arm and shook it, asking him to decide for her.

That Iron Eagle Sect disciple also insisted: "I can testify that it was indeed the Ninth Princess who struck first."

"Is that so?" Ye Liuyun smiled faintly.

Immediately, his Soul Domain opened up, enveloping both of them.

His sudden move also startled Wu Qingcheng.

After a few breaths, the two turned into cold corpses and collapsed to the ground.

"This..." Wu Qingcheng looked at Ye Liuyun, somewhat puzzled.

"These two are disguised with makeup!" Ye Liuyun said lightly.

Wu Qingcheng immediately stepped forward to examine them closely, only to discover that the male and female were both wearing crafted human-skin masks.

Ye Liuyun then summoned Piao Yun over, having her handle the matter.

At this moment, the Ninth Princess came running in, hopping about, to find Ye Liuyun. Seeing a person lying on the ground who looked exactly like her, she couldn't help but utter an "Eh."

Ye Liuyun then explained the whole sequence of events to her and to Piao Yun.

"How did you discover them?" the Ninth Princess asked, puzzled.

"That man kept calling you Ninth Princess over and over, so I felt something was off, since I hadn't told anyone about your identity. So I tried using my Soul Domain to perform a soul search." Ye Liuyun explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingcheng also couldn't help but silently blame herself: "At that moment I lapsed and didn't notice these problems. As a bodyguard, I'm really not doing my job well! From now on I must be more careful."

Actually, Ye Liuyun merely swept his Golden Pupil over them and saw through their disguise; he just didn't voice what his Golden Pupil revealed.

He feared alerting the later assassins. Since someone could disguise themselves so closely to people around him, there must be their planted spy here.

After the Ninth Princess understood the reason, she was about to draw her sword and stab the woman impersonating her, but Ye Liuyun stopped her.

"Forget it; they're already dead, why bother getting angry at her?" Ye Liuyun advised.

The Ninth Princess still stabbed a sword into her own chest to vent her hatred.

She still spat out resentfully: "If it weren't for your alertness, we would have fallen for their trick. By then you might even hate me. This woman is too hateful, daring to make me take the blame. Fortunately she's dead; otherwise I would have cut her into a thousand pieces."
