On this day, everyone in the carriage was cultivating and resting with their eyes closed.
Lou Mu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, looked out of the carriage to the distance, and said: “There’s a wave of people with murderous aura approaching.”
Fei Yan Chen and the others also discovered the murderous aura and furrowed their brows in unison.
“They sure think highly of me. This time, they actually dispatched ten assassins at Core Elemental Realm.” Fei Yan Chen’s lips curled into an arc of ridicule.
Mu’rong Qing pondered, then asked: “These assassins are still far away yet they’ve released such strong murderous aura. They aren’t members of the Bei’yuan Imperial Family are they?”
He had seen the secret guards of the Bei’yuan Imperial Family before, but they didn’t have such strong murderous aura on their body.
Instead, these people were more like trained professional killers.
“They’re killers that my ‘good’ eldest brother hired from the Hidden City. I’ve encountered four or five waves of such killers. He paid a huge price for killing me this time.” Fei Yan Chen’s expression remained calm and composed.
Most of his people were lost in the endless emergence of the Hidden City’s killers, especially since each wave was stronger than the last.
He also sent the several Earth Elemental Realm and Heaven Elemental Realm secret guards, that his imperial father had arranged for him, back to the Imperial Capital to protect his third elder brother. Otherwise, how could he be in such a sorry state and even almost died.
Lou Mu Yan asked in surprise: “Hidden City? Can anyone issue missions to the Hidden City of the Human Realm as long as they have money?”
“Mm, the Hidden City is a dark underground organisation across the entire Guang’ling World. As long as you have money, they’d accept any clients’ missions.” Mu’rong Qing continued: “Besides the Hidden City’s trade market, the Hidden City deals with assassinations the most.”
“Do you know who the Hidden City’s secret owner is?” Lou Mu Yan asked after pondering.
The Hidden City on Tian’ling Continent had long been controlled by the devil race. Who knew how many devils had infiltrated the Hidden City in Guang’ling Realm.
“I don’t know about that.” Mu’rong Qing smiled wryly and shook his head: “With our identity and strength, we still don’t have access to the top secrets of the continent.”
The mastermind of the Hidden City in the Human Realm was definitely a mysterious and powerful figure, and even the ancestor of their Mu’rong Clan might not have a chance to see them or know of them.
Fei Yan Chen replied: “I heard that there are four Hidden Masters of the Hidden City, who are respectively in charge of the Hidden City’s organisations in the Four Major Realms. As for the Hidden Emperor behind them all, I don’t know who that person is.”
Lou Mu Yan nodded. The Hidden Emperor was the ruler of the Hidden City in the four realms, so they must be mysterious and unpredictable. Without reaching a certain level in this world, there must be no way of knowing.
The elderly man in gold couldn’t resist feeling a little anxious seeing the three of them chatting so calmly. This time there were ten Middle-Phase and Late-Phase Core Elemental Realm powerhouses. Could he, Mu’rong Qing, and Lei Huang successfully deal with it?
Most importantly was that these killers were specially trained elites in the Hidden City, and they shouldn’t be compared to the bandit leader at all. Any random one of them was very powerful.
“Master, Young Miss Lou, Young Lord Mu’rong, they will arrive soon, how should we deal with the enemy?” The elderly man in gold couldn’t resist asking.
Lou Mu Yan shrugged nonchalantly and said: “No need to deal with the enemy, just kill them.”
She didn’t know if it was because she was too often besieged by the killers from the Hidden City back when she was on Tian’ling Continent, or because the Hidden City on Tian’ling Continent was completely controlled by the devils, but she was somewhat hostile to and disgusted with the Hidden City.
“…” The elderly man in gold’s lips twitched. Could they win by just killing them? Young Miss Lou’s tone sure was big.
Sensing the approaching murderous aura, Lou Mu Yan stood up and looked at Mu’rong Qing and the elderly man in gold and said: “You don’t need to do anything for now, I’ll exercise my muscles and bones.”
The killers of the Hidden City were all rolling in riches—in particular, the strong ones at Core Elemental Realm should be even richer. Wealth that came to her door would be a waste not to obtain.
Although Fei Yan Chen’s body had recovered a lot, but it wasn’t suitable for him to act.
Mu’rong Qing said with a helpless smile: “The opponent has ten killers at Core Elemental Realm, you and Lei Huang must be careful.
Although he hadn’t known Lou Mu Yan for long, but he knew that she was always decisive in her actions. To dare say that meant that she was certain of victory.
Although he didn’t really believe that Lou Mu Yan and Lei Huang could kill all ten killers opposite.
The elderly man in gold wondered if his ears heard it wrong. Lou Mu Yan actually told him and Mu’rong Qing not to do anything; that she wanted to exercise her muscles and bones…
Did she hide her cultivation base? True, how could a grade 7 high-level alchemist be just a Sword Venerable. His head really was muddled before to not have thought of this.
Fei Yan Chen had a meaningful smile in his eyes. He also wanted to see what surprises Lou Mu Yan could give him.
“Be careful!”
No matter what, Lou Mu Yan and her group were involved because of him. Even though he agreed to pay them, but he didn’t want them to get hurt or have any accidents.
“By the way, Lei Huang and I will kill them, so their interspatial rings should be ours right?” Lou Mu Yan thought to give them a heads-up first.
“…” Mu’rong Qing and the others couldn’t resist holding their foreheads.
No wonder she was so proactive this time. So it was because she was aiming for the other party’s interspatial rings.
“Definitely yours.” Mu’rong Qing nodded. Them brothers wouldn’t compete for it with Lou Mu Yan.
“You’re very short on money?” Fei Yan Chen asked.
Lou Mu Yan nodded madly: “Of course! I lack everything.”
The smile in Fei Yan Chen’s eyes grew denser. This woman was truly so unique and so interesting.
Who among the women he had ever met would reveal such a money-hungry look—such a hearty and refreshing temperament was very pleasing.
“But you don’t look short of money!” Fei Yan Chen said.
Lou Mu Yan could easily refine grade 7 high-level pills, and even gave him two pills to use earlier. Alchemy was a relatively wealthy profession, especially senior alchemists.
She loved money but wasn’t stingy—this was the first impression Lou Mu Yan gave him.
“How am I not short?” Lou Mu Yan counted without a good attitude: “My spirit pets consume at least six grade 7 pills and tens of thousands of middle-quality spiritual stones a day, how can I not be poor?”
“…” Fei Yan Chen was stunned, then couldn’t resist twitching the corners of his lips slightly. Was there anyone who raised spirit pets like this?
It was the first time he had heard of raising spirit pets in such a prodigal way—Lou Mu Yan was really the first.
“Enough now, no more chatting, they’re here!” Lou Mu Yan noticed a piercingly cold sword aura striking down above their heads and leapt out of the carriage.
Lei Huang followed speechlessly. Why did he have such a bitter life!
“Their interspatial rings contain all your rations, Lei Huang, don’t shirk responsibility!”
As soon as Lei Huang stepped out of the carriage, he heard Lou Mu Yan’s telepathy, and almost slipped.
This woman was truly ruthless—for their rations, they really worked hard!
With the help of Mo Yan’s guidance, Xue Xue successfully condensed a demon core and advanced to Saint Tier demonic plant after absorbing the blood essence of those bandits last time.
This time, with the ten Hidden City killers at Middle-Phase and Late-Phase Core Elemental Realm, his cultivation base could be completely consolidated.
Sometimes Lou Mu Yan had to sigh with emotion that although the Hidden City was annoying, but for her, she could gain huge profits each time.
She suddenly decided to like the Hidden City—let the killers come more ferociously.
As soon as Lou Mu Yan exited the carriage, her Middle-Phase Core Elemental Realm cultivation base was released immediately, and the other people in the carriage got out one after another.
Fei Yan Chen was slightly worried, and said to the elderly man in gold: “If they lose in a bit, you act immediately.”
