176 - Are They the Reinforcements from the Imperial Capital? (4)
The Iron Fan Mistress decided to give a brief introduction of the young woman to her senior brother.
“She is Wu Xuan’er, the daughter-in-law of the Second Lineage of the Ye Clan.”
“That’s the family of that bastard Sword Flash, eh?”
“Indeed, Senior Brother.” Then, she raised her doubts. “But now, I am questioning whether she’s truly Wu Xuan’er. That young lady is strong within cultivators of the same realm, but she should be incapable of destroying your subordinate’s, Bo Fun’s, body. Either she has an artifact capable of unleashing the strength of a peak Nascent Divinity Realm or a half-immortal, or she is pretending to Wu Xuan&rsqu

178 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (1)A robe as black as night, an equally black mask and hood, a short sword coated with poison and still dripping with blood. Nothing could be determined about his appearance, except that his dark eyes were cold and murderous.Although he seemed to have executed some kind of transformation divine art that could adjust his height and the size of his muscles, the familiar fluctuation of soul of the young man who would read bedtime stories to Little Yin was unmistakable.That killing intent…‘Is that really Bro Hua?’Little Yin wanted to deny the truth, but it was difficult to pretend when she had suspicions beforehand that Ye Hua seemed to be walking a different path from h
178 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (2)‘Xuan’er?’Ye Hua could feel all the blood in his body turning into ice the moment he spotted the trio heading down the mountain.After cleaning up the situation within the Li Clan’s residence within the Second Peak, Ye Hua realized that things were not going well for the surviving disciples within the sect grounds. Though many elites and disciples of other sects and families were attending the banquet held in honor of receiving the Purple Plumed General’s arrival, the main combat force could not be seen anywhere. Not only that, the numbers of rampaging spiritual beasts seemed never ending, as if instead of a beast wave coming from the central regions of the forest, it was more precise to say that multiple portals had been opened in the middle of
180 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (3)“Silver-ranked assassin, Ninth Serpent, your internal commission has been received and approved.”The familiar face of the old innkeeper greeted Ye Hua. It was peculiar, the serenity within the inn, in comparison to the mayhem within the streets of Leaf City. The demonic cultivators belonging to the Demonic Faction had already attacked the small clans and the ordinary cultivators that were not invited inside the Ye Sect, causing fear and confusion to spread even to the normal people. Although the enemies were mostly in the Body Washing and Foundational Spirit Realms, their fighting strength was vastly superior to those walking in the orthodox path of the same realm. As cultivators who wielded evil qi and blood qi, they were overwhelming to the general populace of the Leaf City. However, to that special i
181 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (4)Bored, callous and business-like—that was the tone used by the innkeeper who acted as a middle man between the private contractors and the assassins of the secretive shadow guild. Ye Hua knew that the old innkeeper wasn’t even an actual employee, but simply someone hired to act like a mouthpiece and puppet under the true guild member’s order.It was funny if one were to think about it. If the Leaf City were to be destroyed, of course the business of the inn would have to stop, and the business built here would have no choice but to be terminated.However, seeing the situation now that such an entity didn’t seem bothered by the attack of the Demonic Faction, that the inn remained safe like a neutral onlooker, Ye Hua started to have doubts about the true
182 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (6)As soon as the transaction was completed, his team of shadows was deployed towards the Ye Sect. The inn remained peaceful, just as it was when he arrived and now that he left.Quick, soundless footsteps with speed no mortal eye could catch. They were all trained assassins with similar or higher strength than Ye Hua, and thus, aside from the times verbal orders were necessary, their group made no sounds or unnecessary movements.Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered a group of men emitting bloodlust. Without a word, the masked assassins nearest to them disposed of them, reaping lives with every hit of their short swords. There was no order, but it wasn’t one that needed a verbal order in the first place.
