Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

"Do you know what level of skill you possessed when you killed this person?" Li Yan asked.

"I don't know," Qin Fei shook his head.

"Let me put it this way, in a one-on-one duel, no matter how many tricks we have, we can't hurt them, let alone kill them. He's at least two major realms higher than us," Li Yan said.

It's important to understand that even a major realm advancement is accompanied by an extremely large gap in combat power, let alone trying to kill someone of a higher realm.

But now the facts are right in front of him, and Li Yan has no choice but to believe them.

The headless corpse looked like it had just been killed, and the sword energy that had just erupted here was also imbued with sword intent. Looking across the entire city, Qin Fei was probably the only one who could unleash sword intent.

So Qin Fei wasn't lying; he did indeed kill this middle-aged man who appeared out of nowhere all by himself.

"How did you offend this kind of person?"

"Besides, didn't you set up a formation at the entrance of your mansion?"

"Don't you realize anything?" Li Yan asked several questions in one breath.

After hearing his words, Qin Fei didn't know which question to answer.

However, since they were asking him with such concern, Qin Fei couldn't very well keep it from them.

So Qin Fei first sorted out his thoughts, and then decided to start from when he returned to explain in detail.

He recounted everything he had seen and heard since returning, leaving virtually nothing out.

Why did he do that?

He simply wanted Li Yan to help him analyze who the other party was.

Li Yan has the Li family and a large group of powerful figures behind him. If he can use their power to find out who is secretly targeting him, that would be the best thing.

"It seems this was a premeditated operation."

After listening to Qin Fei's words, Li Yan pondered for a moment and then said, "It's just that the other party is very cautious, which is why it took so many days to arrive. Such behavior is very likely the work of an assassin."

The profession of assassin exists in every era, whether in the secular world or the cultivation world where powerful figures abound.

In short, where there is demand, there is a market. Because there are always some shady things in this world that need to be done, this is what gave rise to the profession of assassin.

After saying that, Li Yan began to admire Qin Fei again: "You've been lying on the ground without moving for so many days. Just in terms of patience, I think you're even more ruthless than these assassins."

Pretend to be poisoned and powerless to resist, then deliver the fatal blow when the assassin arrives.

Although Qin Fei glossed over the whole process with just a few simple words, Li Yan knew in his heart that if any link in the chain had gone wrong, it probably wouldn't have been Qin Fei killing the other party; he would most likely have lost his life at the hands of this assassin.

Such a cautious person, yet he still failed miserably at the last moment. No wonder the assassin's eyes were wide open even in death; he probably died with his eyes still open.

"I had no choice." Hearing Li Yan praise him, Qin Fei scratched his head sheepishly: "When I found out that someone wanted to harm me in secret, I could only try my best to ensure my safety, so competing with others in patience was the only option I had."

It's said that it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow; these assassins hiding in the shadows are truly hateful.

Fortunately, Qin Fei's plan was very well executed this time, otherwise he would probably have been finished.

"Young master, this man is an assassin from the Tianya Haijiao organization."

Just then, Li Yan's protector suddenly made a sound.

Following the sound, they saw that he had already stripped the corpse of its clothes, and there was a plum blossom-shaped mark on the corpse's chest.

This is clearly the special mark of the Tianya Haijiao organization.

"These rats are really hateful enough, daring to take on a mission like assassinating a super genius." After learning the other party's identity, Li Yan couldn't help but say coldly.

"Brother Li, it seems you are quite familiar with this organization?" Qin Fei quickly asked.

"I wouldn't say I'm familiar with it, I've just heard of this organization."

Li Yan didn't hide anything from Qin Fei. He explained directly, "The most striking thing about this organization is its name. Once they accept a mission, they will complete it even if they have to chase the person to the ends of the earth. That's why they are called that."

"Since they've assigned you this as a mission, you're likely to face a lot of trouble in the future."

"Brother Li, you have control of this teleportation array, so why were you able to let such a scoundrel through?" Qin Fei asked another question at this moment.

It should be noted that the people guarding this teleportation array are from the Zhang family, and if nothing unexpected happens, there must also be a powerful figure guarding the other end of the teleportation array.

If that's the case, why were assassins allowed to come here?

“Assassins don’t write what they do on their faces. They could be you, or they could be me. How can we guard against that?” Li Yan said with a wry smile. “Besides, the purpose of this teleportation array is to transport people from that side. I think as long as you can afford the price, even if you’re an assassin, you should be able to come over.”

Things in the martial arts world are not so easy to explain, so it's fair to say that Qin Fei's question was pointless.

Since Li Yan wasn't in charge of the teleportation array, who knew when this assassin had infiltrated?

"Do you know anyone from the ends of the earth?" Li Yan asked, turning his gaze to his protector.

“I don’t know him!” Li Yan’s protector replied immediately.

He's a very strong competitor, and he wouldn't stoop so low as to communicate with these rats; that would only tarnish his reputation.

If they knew someone far away, they could easily persuade them to abandon their assassination attempt on Qin Fei through negotiation.

Since he couldn't find anyone from this organization, Li Yan naturally felt that things were getting difficult.

Qin Fei's current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm. To be honest, this level is already quite good, but it is obviously not enough to fight against a behemoth.

If no one had stood up for Qin Fei at this time, he might not have survived a month.

"Brother Qin, where is Senior Wine God?" Li Yan suddenly asked.

"That old guy comes and goes without a trace. Who knows where he's hiding, living a life of debauchery?" Qin Fei rolled his eyes and said.

"If Senior Dionysus can stand up and protect you, I think the Tianya Haijiao organization wouldn't dare to do anything to you. But without him, I think you might be in big trouble."

"How big is it?" Qin Fei immediately asked.

“You will be repeatedly targeted for assassination until you are finally eliminated,” Li Yan said, frowning.

However, after saying that, he said to his protectors, "Issue a public announcement in the name of our Li family, saying that Brother Qin is now a guest of our Li family."

"When did I become a guest of the Li family?" Upon hearing this, Qin Fei's eyes widened immediately.

"Don't worry, we're just issuing this announcement publicly. You're still the same person behind the scenes. This is just a temporary measure."

Although the guest elders do not carry much weight, they at least send a clear signal to the outside world: whoever is dealing with Qin Fei will probably have to take the Li family's influence into account first.

“Openly carrying out an assassination right next to us, you've probably messed with someone you shouldn’t have this time.” This was said by Li Yan’s protector.

"Logically speaking, the Tianya Haijiao organization would definitely conduct a thorough background check on their target when accepting a mission. You are someone who has comprehended sword intent and is also the disciple of the God of Wine. Normally, their organization should not dare to accept such a mission, but in reality, they still did."

“I think there are two possibilities now. One is that you may have offended someone in this organization, and the other is that someone has made a condition that they cannot refuse.”

"But no matter what, it's a fact that they've got your eye on you, and you'll probably have to be even more careful from now on."

"What the hell is this?"

Qin Fei had never heard of this "End of the Earth" organization before, but now they have become his death warrant.

To be honest, Qin Fei was in a terrible mood. He never dreamed that he would be targeted by an assassin organization in the cultivation world.

This is truly a case of misfortune striking out of the blue when you're just sitting at home.

"Without pressure, there is no motivation to move forward. Looking at it from another perspective, this kind of threat is not necessarily a bad thing." Seeing that Qin Fei seemed to be in a bad mood, Li Yan reached out and patted Qin Fei on the shoulder.

Qin Fei knew, of course, that Li Yan was trying to comfort him. Pressure is sometimes a good thing, but it depends on what kind of pressure it is.

If the person dealing with him is not much more skilled than him, then Qin Fei can still rely on his abilities to deal with them.

But now, the opponent has appeared with a level two major realms higher than him. This person has indeed been killed by him, but who can guarantee that they won't send an even stronger opponent next?

If that's the case, it's questionable whether Qin Fei would even be able to fight back, let alone kill the other party.

He was lucky this time, but he might not be so lucky next time.

"This is his spatial ring, consider it your spoils of war." At this moment, Li Yan's protector handed the middle-aged man's spatial ring to Qin Fei.

Upon receiving the ring, Qin Fei's soul power immediately toured it.

Since he was an assassin, it was unlikely that he would have any valuables on him, so Qin Fei didn't expect to find anything of value in the other party's spatial ring.

But after his soul power had circulated around inside, he couldn't help but curse, "This place is dirt poor!"

Although he was already prepared, Qin Fei still couldn't help but curse when he saw that the other party's spatial ring was completely empty.

The space ring was completely empty; even a mouse that went in would probably come out crying.

This isn't just ordinary poverty, this is utter ragtag poverty!
