Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

It has to be said that the timing of this sneak attack was perfect.

Just as the silverfish took the bait, Chu Yunfan was filled with excitement.

This was also the time when Chu Yunfan's vigilance dropped.

However, the person in the shadows chose a good time.

However, he underestimated Chu Yunfan's reaction ability.

Once the Wind Sword Intent was unleashed, Chu Yunfan's body vanished from his spot, causing the hidden arrow to miss its target.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan appeared in the woods next to his aunt.

The arrow that was shot from the shadows just now came from this direction.

However, although Chu Yunfan arrived at the scene immediately, he found no one there, nor any trace of anyone.

"If the first attack fails, immediately flee far away, disappearing without a trace."

"Clearly, these are the characteristics of an assassin!"

Chu Yunfan murmured to himself, his expression turning serious.

The term "assassin" refers to a special profession on the Qingyun Continent.

It comes from a special organization, the Heavenly Killing Organization.

No one knows how the Heavenly Killing Organization came about. It sprang up like mushrooms after rain, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly possessing great power, and then specializing in intelligence and assassination.

Because the assassin organization is powerful and principled, it almost never assassinates important figures from top powers.

Furthermore, the existence of assassin organizations is of considerable use to various factions.

Thus, the assassin organization continued to exist on the Qingyun Continent.

The assassin organization's operating principle is very simple: do things for money.

The amount of money you give determines the scale of the task you accomplish.

"The price to pay for assassinating an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect will certainly be high."

"I haven't been in Qingyun Continent for very long, and among the people I've offended, the only ones who fit the description are probably the Wang family!"

Chu Yunfan squinted and, after a moment's thought, came to this conclusion.

And indeed, Chu Yunfan's guess came true.

However, since he couldn't rely on mere speculation or evidence, he couldn't ask the sect to intervene. He could only resolve the issue through his own abilities.

"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light."

The situation is unfavorable; we need to lure the other side out!

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, then casually returned to the lakeside and continued fishing.

Of course, it can also be called entrapment.

However, three days passed, and the assassin in the shadows made no further move.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry and continued to fish for his targets, while also practicing his swordsmanship by the lake.

After all, he had only just broken through to the Martial Master realm, and his need for second-tier silver spirit fish was still very high.

There's no rush to leave right now.

He wanted to see just how patient this assassin was.

However, just as Chu Yunfan began practicing his swordsmanship, a gentle breeze swept by.

The wind was light and gentle, carrying a hint of coolness and a floral fragrance, offering a touch of enjoyment.

However, this enjoyment comes at the cost of life.

Because the fragrance of the flower is poisonous.

The next second, Chu Yunfan collapsed to the ground.

The only sound in the air was a gentle breeze, carrying a faint sense of loneliness.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yunfan got up again.

He looked around and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"This assassin is really cautious. Even though he saw that I had been poisoned and collapsed, he still refused to show himself."

Such an opponent is truly a headache!

Chu Yunfan touched his forehead.

The instant he smelled the fragrance of the flower, he knew it was poisonous, so he immediately held his breath.

However, in order to lure the assassin out, he deliberately pretended to be poisoned and collapsed.

Unexpectedly, the assassin was far too cautious, watching him fall to the ground without ever coming closer.

In fact, what Chu Yunfan didn't expect was that the assassin also really wanted to come and confirm whether he was dead or not.

However, due to the professionalism of a hitman, this assassin chose to observe for a period of time first.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfan couldn't resist and got up first.

However, the assassin's sneak attack just now gave Chu Yunfan an idea.

"Since they can use the wind to poison me, I can also use the wind to find their location!"

With that thought in mind, Chu Yunfan remained calm and continued fishing by the lake.

Before long, a gentle breeze blew through the woods again.

Sensing the wind, Chu Yunfan immediately released his Wind Sword Intent, then merged it into the wind, causing it to drift around.

Finally, when the sword intent of wind arrived at a certain place, it discovered the presence of a figure.

The figure was dressed in black and wore a black mask that completely covered its face, making it impossible to see its features.

This unusual attire allowed Chu Yunfan to immediately recognize that this person was the assassin hiding in the shadows.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan, who was sitting by the lake, suddenly muttered something to himself.

"The fish has taken the bait!"

Then Chu Yunfan pulled up all the dozens of fishing rods beside him.

Each fishing rod was adorned with a plump, silver carp.

Chu Yunfan put the fishing rod and the silver spirit fish into his storage ring with satisfaction, and then left the lakeside.

Chu Yunfan left in the same direction as the assassin he had just discovered.

However, they were slightly off-target.

Otherwise, it would easily arouse the killer's suspicion.

One step, two steps, three steps...

As Chu Yunfan moved forward slowly, the assassins hidden in the shadows remained motionless in place.

To be honest, this assassin's ability to hide his true colors was quite impressive.

Even though Chu Yunfan knew his location in advance, he couldn't find him or hear his breathing.

It wasn't until Chu Yunfan used the Eye of the Mysterious Eagle, pretending to glance at it casually, that he noticed something unusual about the place where the other party was hiding.

However, it was just a minor anomaly.

If Chu Yunfan hadn't known beforehand that an assassin was lurking here, he probably wouldn't have noticed such a tiny anomaly.

As the two drew closer, Chu Yunfan's mind became increasingly tense.

What he feared most was that the assassin would sense the danger and escape beforehand.

Of course, this was because Chu Yunfan had experienced two previous assassination attempts, so he deliberately overestimated the assassin's abilities.

In fact, the first thought that popped into the assassin's mind the moment he saw Chu Yunfan coming this way was to take the opportunity to kill Chu Yunfan.

After all, he had no idea that Chu Yunfan possessed the Sword Intent of Wind.

He never imagined that Chu Yunfan could use the sword intent of wind to discover his presence.

At this moment, both men harbored murderous intent, yet feared the other might suddenly escape.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

Every second felt incredibly long.

Chu Yunfan was walking at a decent pace, but it seemed like a long time before he finally reached a position about five meters away from the assassin.
