The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

This group of figures were all dressed in black robes, with a skull on their chests.

Not long ago, several groups of people stood in the same spot, gazing at the manor not far away, chanting slogans, determined to take down the owner of the manor.

The Shadow Gate of Longwu Kingdom.

The Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Cult.

And then there's the alliance of rangers who covet the manor's treasure.

They stood there, swearing an oath to the moon.

Not only do they want to take over the owner of the manor, but they also want to seize his wealth and the women of the manor!

But in the end, none of these people made it out alive!

Two people, however, managed to escape in a sorry state.

One is Mr. Poison.

One of them is the Iron Spear King, one of the Seven Heroes of Southern Xinjiang.

Those two guys haven't dared to come to Yilan County again since.

The group of people who appeared there that night were also there to seek revenge on Jia Daoshi.

Just then, after so much activity, the intense atmosphere of cultivation in the manor finally subsided, and a leisure and entertainment mode was activated.

Everyone was drinking heavily and eating large chunks of meat.

A balance between work and rest is beneficial to both body and mind.

The bonfires and the aroma of wine wafting around indicated that the manor was completely undefended.

“Master Luo, the owner of this manor is no ordinary person. We have suffered many losses at his hands. My suggestion is to take advantage of their complacency and poison them first. Even if we can't completely incapacitate them, we can at least weaken their fighting power!”

The speaker was tall, wore a mask, and had a very neutral voice, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female.

This person is one of the ten surviving elders of the Sun Moon Sect, named Yu Qiufeng.

Judging from the name alone, it's hard to tell whether it's a boy or a girl.

Standing next to him was Hall Master Luo, who, despite being shrouded in a black robe, still had his face faintly discernible in the moonlight; he was a very handsome young man.

This person is named Luo Hou, one of the top-tier assassins of the Lotus Pavilion.

She was also the one who led Fang Duobing into the Lotus Pavilion, and one of Fang Duobing's few close friends.

As an assassin, one must be ruthless and abandon love.

Therefore, this kind of friendship is very precious.

Of course, this doesn't mean there's any homoerotic tension between them.

Rather, they were true friends who had risked their lives for each other in the martial arts world.

So when Luo Hou heard that Fang Duobing's dantian had been injured, he decided to leave the mountain to avenge his good brother.

Of course, at this time, the Sun Moon Cult came knocking on their door, offering a large sum of money to kill someone!

After realizing that they were both targeting the same person, they quickly reached an agreement.

This hunting squad was formed, led by Yu Qiufeng and Luo Hou!

The Sun Moon Cult had suffered several losses at the hands of Jia Daoshi, so to be on the safe side, Yu Qiufeng suggested poisoning him first.

Although the methods are not exactly honorable, the Sun Moon Cult is now capable of anything as long as they can kill Jia Daoshi.

However, this excellent suggestion was directly rejected by Luo Hou.

"No need! The assassins of Lotus Pavilion only trust the sword in their hands!"

Luo Hou's tone was full of pride.

"This time, I will not only kill the owner of this manor, but also hang his corpse at the city gate of Yilan County as a warning to the Dajing royal family!"

"My Lotus Pavilion is not to be trifled with!!"

Seeing the other party's confidence, Yu Qiufeng hesitated, but finally could only nod helplessly.

"That's fine..."

"No need to worry." Luo Hou smiled faintly. "Are you ready? Tonight's slaughter will be my masterpiece!"

"And you are all witnesses to this grand event!"

Yu Qiufeng: "..."

I hope so...

Yu Qiufeng felt that the assassin in front of him was somewhat unreliable.

However, they are among the few Heavenly-level assassins in Lotus Tower, so they should be trustworthy, right?

Besides, the Sun Moon Cult has dispatched assassins who are all at the Vajra Realm. Even if they are outmatched, they should be able to escape unscathed, right?

For some reason, Yu Qiufeng had already started to have second thoughts before even taking any action.

"set off!"

Luo Hou let out a cold snort, casually swung out a sword aura, cut down a reed beside him, and then threw it towards the stream not far away!

"call out!"

Reeds swept across the night sky and landed steadily on the water's surface.

Luo Hou lightly stepped on the ground, his figure leaped up, and in a few bounds landed on the reed. With his hands behind his back and his clothes fluttering, he looked like a celestial being.

Beautiful! No wonder you're a top-tier assassin; crossing the river on a reed is a piece of cake for you.

Seeing this, the Sun Moon Cult members behind him felt more confident about their actions that night.

"go!"

Yu Qiufeng waved his hand, and led his men to follow closely behind.

The weakest among those who came this time was at least in the mid-stage of the Vajra Realm, so crossing the river with the help of some floating objects like logs would be no problem at all.

What ordinary people see as a small river that can only be crossed by boat is, in their eyes, nothing more than a slightly troublesome ditch.

Having learned from their previous experience, they knew that the area around the manor walls was full of traps, so this time, after they got ashore, they practically didn't touch the ground and moved forward by stepping on the treetops!

So, outside the manor, more than thirty dark figures appeared, seemingly skimming along the trees as they "flew" toward the manor!

This is true lightness skill!

However, as soon as they entered the walled area, they saw a child sitting cross-legged on the top of a big tree in front of them!

The child did not participate in the bonfire party on the school ground, but instead quietly meditated on this big tree.

With each breath he took, the leaves of the entire tree swayed rhythmically.

It was none other than Jia Miao!

Luo Hou glanced at it briefly and then lost interest.

Is a little kid trying to play tricks here?

In his view, the reason why those leaves swayed so rhythmically must be because they sensed his presence!

"Little thing, since you've run into me, you're just unlucky. Tonight's slaughter will start with you!" Luo Hou said calmly, pointing at the little boy not far away.

"Two men, kill that kid."

"Tonight, children and women alike must die!"

"Leave no one behind!"

For a mere brat like that, a Heavenly-level assassin like Luo Hou wouldn't even deign to make a move!

"Yes!"

Two members of the Sun Moon Cult grinned maliciously and rushed towards the big tree where the kid was!
