Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Plan

Regarding weapons, he had two daggers, one of which he shattered with his Xuan Tie sword.

Han Yi picked up another intact dagger, examined it for a few moments, and found it to be just a common ram's horn dagger, not even coated with poison.

Apart from these items, there were no other items, and absolutely no clues that could identify them.

"He really is a pure assassin..." He shook his head.

Perhaps the final cry of the man in black, "The Shadow Master walks alone, a moment of eternity," is a clue.

But what does this mean?

Han Yi fell into deep thought. "What kind of thief dares to cause trouble on Yuqingfang's territory...?"

At the entrance of the alley, a slightly stern voice rang out.

The detective always arrives late after the case has occurred, a thought suddenly popped into Han Yi's mind.

He knew that the police patrol team had arrived at night, probably because the surrounding residents heard the fighting and reported it to the authorities.

"Han, Senior Brother Han..." The leading constable looked at the bloodstains on the ground at the courtyard gate, his throat bobbed, and he swallowed twice.

Han Yi also recognized this person; his name was Wang Chong, an outer disciple of the Crimson Flame Sect, responsible for the security of this area, much like a local police officer in his previous life.

As Yuqingfang is the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect, most of the constables, ward chiefs, and other officials here are disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect. "Wang Chong, you've come at the right time. Deal with this for me. Two thieves broke into my house last night. When I discovered them, they tried to attack me, so..." Han Yi shrugged and made up an excuse.

He didn't want to explain anything further or waste his breath. After all, there was a law in An'yan City that stated that anyone who broke into someone else's house at night without cause could be killed without punishment!

"Okay, okay... Senior Brother Han..."

Although the two men in black had clearly broken into Han Yi's home, according to the law, the homeowner was not guilty of killing them.

However, in actual execution, even if there is sufficient evidence, it must be reported to the inspector and a decision of innocence can only be made after a thorough investigation. During this process, there may be many shady dealings, such as petty scheming and power-money transactions.

However, since Han Yi immediately became an inner disciple of the Crimson Flame Sect, all procedures were naturally simplified.

Moreover, this courtyard... belongs to the Li family! Wang Chong vaguely recalled some rumors about Han Yi. It was said that Han Yi was on good terms with the Li family and was appreciated by the clan leader, which was why he was able to live in this courtyard.

He dared not delay and stepped forward with a fawning smile, saying, "Senior Brother Han, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here..."

"Thank you!" Han Yi clasped his hands in a slight fist salute, then turned and went back into the house to pack his luggage.

He's not planning to stay here tonight, or rather, he doesn't plan to come back anytime soon.

Although he didn't know who he had offended, the assassin had managed to pinpoint the time when he was away from home tonight and lurk in his courtyard. Considering the shadowy figure he had seen before... Han Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Clearly, his residence had been targeted for some time!

Tonight's assassination attempt was well-prepared; the attacker specifically chose someone to open their door, aiming to strike when they were least alert. If Han Yi hadn't detected the man in black through the system early on, he might have died with resentment!

Thinking of this, Han Yi slowly exhaled, and his tidying movements slowed down a bit.

He almost lost his life.

The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. Who knows where the enemy's spies might be in An'yan City!

I was planning to visit the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau anyway, so I might as well go out and avoid the limelight. While I'm on a mission for the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, I'll take the opportunity to investigate and see who wants me dead!

A cold glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes!

He packed his luggage and walked out of the house. Han Yi didn't have many belongings. After putting on his weapons and leather armor, he only had a few changes of clothes.

In the courtyard, several constables summoned servants who were cleaning up the bloodstains and corpses.

He glanced at them and saw that these constables were all outer disciples, with most of their stats ranging from '15' to '26'.

"You've all worked hard so late at night, take this and buy some drinks!"

Han Yi took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and tossed them to Wang Chong. Although they didn't say anything, they must have been complaining in their hearts because they had to work overtime late at night.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Han..."

The outer disciples immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to Han Yi.

Han Yi said nothing more and walked towards the street, intending to find a place to sleep.

Behind them, they could still faintly hear the excited discussions of Wang Chong and his companions.

Fulinlou

Han Yi didn't have a good place to go for the time being, so after thinking it over, he came to Fulinlou Restaurant. The manager of Fulinlou Restaurant was also a member of the Crimson Flame Sect, so the food and other fare should be safer. He decided to make do here for the next few days.

After all, the sect competition will begin in a little over half a month, and after the competition ends, he will be able to live in the houses assigned to the inner disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect.

thump, thump, thump

"Young Master Han, what brings you here so late at night..."

At the door, the restaurant owner, who had just heard the knocking, yawned and asked.

It was late at night, and Fulinlou in Yuqingfang, unlike Zuixianlou in Heyuefang, didn't have as many options and had already closed for the night.

Moreover, unlike inns, restaurants generally do not provide accommodation; only a few guest rooms are reserved for guests who have drunk too much.

Fortunately, Han Yi knew the innkeeper. He simply said that his house had been robbed and he wanted to stay for a few nights. After giving him one tael of silver, the innkeeper readily agreed.

Whoa whoa

The rooster crowed, dawn broke in the east, and the sky gradually brightened.

Han Yi opened his eyes. He had only slept for two hours that night before waking up, and spent the rest of the time thinking about the plans for the next few days.

However, since entering the Blood Refining stage, his Qi and blood have greatly increased, and he is full of energy. Even after only two hours of rest, Han Yi felt radiant.

After he went downstairs, he ate the breakfast provided by the restaurant, which made the manager frown and feel uneasy.

This guy eats too much; he'll lose money by an ounce of silver!

Fortunately, after Han Yi finished eating, he gave the shopkeeper five taels of silver to reserve today's portion of Crimson Tiger Meat Buns.

It wasn't that Han Yi was stingy or unwilling to spend money; it was mainly because Fu Lin Lou's rule was that each person could only buy one item per day. After giving the shopkeeper a few instructions and asking him to pass on a message to Pan Sheng and Li Feng, Han Yi, carrying the Xuan Tie sword, wearing black gold gloves and lizard skin armor, walked out of Fu Lin Lou.

He glanced at himself, nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the Office of Extraordinary Affairs.

At this moment, Han Yi's overall strength had reached '61~97'!
