Chapter 145: Blood Red Pavilion

Since being forced to take Gu Han's place and come to serve in the army.

Gu Han has only dealt with Gu Chen and others who likewise serve in the army.

For several months, he has never received any news from the Gu Family.

But Gu Han did not expect that today's actions of these black‑clad men were actually instigated by a Gu Family hire.

Specifically to target him!

The black‑clad man's eyes hidden beneath his hood flashed with a hint of fear.

But he still forced himself to say,

"People in our line of work... don't expect me to betray the employer..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Han's Silver Dragon Spear swept to the right.

"Ugh!"

The black‑clad man let out a guttural scream.

Gu Han's Silver Dragon Spear carved a deep, bone‑visible, ferocious scar on his left arm.

The excruciating pain almost made him faint on the spot.

Even though the black‑clad man's will was strong, cold sweat poured from his forehead.

Gu Han's gaze was cold and indifferent,

"My patience is limited; I hope you consider this carefully."

The black‑clad man's gaze turned ferocious; using the concealment of his black robe, he quietly slipped a talisman from his right hand.

"I..."

Snort!

This time, the Silver Dragon Spear sliced the black‑clad man's right wrist!

Amid a heart‑wrenching scream of pain, the talisman in the black‑clad man's hand slowly drifted to the ground.

"You have one final chance."

"I said, I said!"

The black‑clad man did not expect Gu Han to be so decisive and ruthless!

Even for their Blood Red Pavilion, they wouldn't cripple someone's arms at the slightest disagreement!

The black‑clad man bared his teeth, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice,

"We are members of the Blood Red Pavilion; this time we took a client surnamed Gu, who ordered us to assassinate you."

"According to him, as long as we have the strength to slay a Great Martial Master, we can take this mission."

"But to be safe, I deliberately incited the purchase of a strategist from Heifeng Zhai, and told them that your team possessed rare heavenly and earthly treasures."

"Wealth moves hearts; they hesitated not and launched this operation."

The black‑clad man feared Gu Han would strike him again.

In a desperate scramble for life, he spilled all the details in one go, leaving nothing hidden.

It must be said, the black‑clad man's plan was already sufficiently meticulous.

It could fully achieve the goal by paying only a partial price, using a borrowed knife to kill.

If Gu Han's strength is as the so‑called employer guessed.

Then Gu Han truly stands a great chance of encountering danger.

But after hearing this, Gu Han couldn't help a furrowed brow.

"What is the Blood Red Pavilion?"

The black‑clad man hurriedly replied,

"It is an assassin organization, said to have been founded by the God of Assassins."

Regarding the black‑clad man's words, Gu Han sneered.

God of Assassins?

Even if this world truly has deities.

An organization created by a deity could not exist in a small place like Ben Lang Guo.

Through the black‑clad man's introduction, Gu Han learned the general structure of the Blood Red Pavilion.

Even with Gu Han's perspective, he could not help but marvel at the Blood Red Pavilion's strength!

The unknown‑strength master of the Blood Red Pavilion is its strongest.

Below him are four great elders, nicknamed Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain.

Below them are the four ranks of assassins: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Yellow.

And this black‑clad man is a Yellow‑rank assassin.

The classification of assassin ranks is very simple.

It does not consider merit, only strength!

Only a Great Martial Master can become a Yellow‑rank assassin.

To become an Xuan‑rank assassin, one must at least have the combat power of a Martial Sect level.

This means that even Guan Zhen can be at most an Xuan‑rank assassin!

By analogy, an Earth‑rank assassin is a Martial Honored One.

A Heaven‑rank assassin is a Martial King.

The four great elders are Martial Emperors.

The master of the Blood Red Pavilion, is he a Martial Emperor?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Han raised his eyebrows instantly.

Does the Blood Red Pavilion have a Martial Emperor overseeing it?

This is damn ridiculous, isn't it?

Unless between higher ranks, they are divided by several minor realms.

But even so, the Blood Red Pavilion likely has at least a Martial King, or perhaps a Martial Emperor overseeing it!

Such a force probably already exceeds Ben Lang Guo!

Just thinking that this assassin force, if paid enough, can take on missions to assassinate targets.

Gu Han then felt a headache.

"Do you know the exact name of the person who hired you?"

The black-clothed person decisively shook his head,

"At least I don't know."

Now the black-clothed person's life is in Gu Han's hands.

Gu Han believes this fellow absolutely lacks the courage to deceive him.

But precisely because of that, Gu Han feels troubled.

This time, that surnamed Gu offered the price for assassinating a Great Martial Master.

But if the other side discovers it unsuccessful, they might raise the stakes.

Even if Gu Han can now kill a Martial Sect master head-on, it doesn't mean he needn't worry about assassination by a Martial Sect master!

Having to constantly be on edge against assassins every day is not Gu Han's style.

"Is there any way to know the employer's identity?"

Regarding Gu Han's inquiry, the black-clothed person shook his head,

"Perhaps the personnel of the Blood Red Pavilion who accept missions might know, but we assassins have no authority to learn the employer's true information."

"The only information I know is that the employer's surname is Gu."

According to the black-clothed person's account, that surnamed Gu is probably rather arrogant.

I never expected the Blood Red Pavilion's mission to actually fail.

But with just this clue, it's insufficient for Gu Han to pinpoint any target.

Gu Han suddenly had an idea and said,

"If I paid to hire the Blood Red Pavilion to assassinate that surnamed Gu client, what would happen?"

The black-clothed person was stunned, really not knowing how to answer.

Although the Blood Red Pavilion's mission success rate isn't 100%, it's at least 90%.

Even for those failed missions, the assassination targets dare not cause trouble for the Blood Red Pavilion.

Moreover, they often know who would hire the Blood Red Pavilion to assassinate them.

Therefore, Gu Han's behavior has no precedent.

The black-clothed person thought for a while, then tentatively said,

"Why don't you release me? I'll return to the Blood Red Pavilion and post a mission for you, how about that?"

"Okay, but you pay the deposit yourself."

According to Gu Han's character, it's absolutely impossible to just let the other go like that.

But this person still has utilitarian value, so Gu Han didn't immediately slay him.

Once the mastermind behind the scenes is uncovered, naturally it will be this black-clothed person's death date!

The black-clothed person didn't expect Gu Han to agree so simply.

As for the so-called deposit for posting a mission, compared to his own life, it's nothing at all!

"Hand over your identity token."

An organization like the Blood Red Pavilion definitely has tokens proving each person's identity.

The black-clothed person knows that if there's no leverage, the other side will definitely not let him go.

He can only hand over his own identity token to the other side.

This is a token made of yellow wood.

On it are written the five large characters "Blood Red Pavilion: Blood Mad."

Gu Han unobtrusively took out some powder from his storage space and sprinkled it on the wooden token.

This powder was obtained from a treasure chest he acquired after the battle at Mu Shan Cheng.

It can be used to locate and track targets.

After returning the token to Blood Mad, Gu Han sent him away.

Afterwards, he and Little Wolf together slaughtered all the bandits in the forest!

He returned to the vicinity of the camp.

With the help of Gu Chen and others.

Liang Fang and Pei Guang have also slain the last two black-clothed leaders.
