Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Twilight City Mountain, Crimson Gold Manor.

Around the villa in the back courtyard, five hundred crimson-gold wolf guards surrounded the entire villa, making it impenetrable, like an iron barrel.

Underground, tremors are detected and monitored in real time by thermal radar.

Aerial, ultrasonic, and far-infrared panoramic real-time monitoring.

The entire area within a 500-meter radius of the villa is under surveillance. Not to mention flies, even a mosquito that gets close will be shot down by the thermal radar.

Meanwhile, the guests in the cloud platform, amidst their clinking of glasses, also sensed that something was amiss.

The sudden increase in security and guard around them made the atmosphere tense.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like all those soldiers around me are radiating murderous intent?"

“These appear to be the Crimson Gold Wolf Guards, the elite of the Crimson Gold Army.”

"Why are you making such a big fuss on my Dragon Kingdom's territory?"

"It seems the rumors are true. The Crimson Gold War God must have been injured, which is why security has been increased."

"I heard that they were poisoned, and that they came to Wucheng this time to find an antidote."

Some well-informed people were spreading rumors, which sparked a lot of discussion among the crowd.

But no one noticed that a maid had slipped into a blind spot of the banquet hall's surveillance cameras.

Listening to the surrounding guests' chatter, the maid lowered her head, hiding half of her face in her hood.

"It seems the information from above is correct; the Crimson Gold War God is indeed injured."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone not to show their face at a banquet like this, and the level of security around them is also a bit outrageous."

"But it is the challenging tasks that are valuable to me."

"As long as I complete this mission, I, Soul Hook, will definitely be able to enter the top ten of the international assassin list."

She glanced at the surrounding surveillance cameras, then used the figures of the guests in the room as cover to enter the restroom next door.

Outside the main villa in the back hall of the Crimson Gold Manor, all the military doctors stood anxiously at the tightly closed villa gate.

Standing before them was a group of Crimson Gold Guards, who belonged to the Crimson Gold War God, Fierce Cloud Tiger.

Apart from the leader's orders, Lie Yunhu's orders were above all else to them.

"Get out of the way. I can't let that kid do anything reckless. A 20% chance of winning is no different from sending someone to their death."

“If something happens to the Crimson Gold War God, can he take responsibility? I must keep an eye on him and prevent him from acting recklessly.”

No matter what Dr. Hu said, the Crimson Gold Guard in front of him remained as still as a stone.

Doctor Hu approached the captain of the personal guard standing nearby, noticing Doctor Hu's unpleasant expression.

The captain of the personal guard said with a wry smile, "Medical Doctor Hu, you've heard Tiger Commander's orders. Without his permission, no one is allowed to approach. Anyone who trespasses will be killed on sight!"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu roared, "You all heard that too! That kid only has a 20% chance of winning. If something happens to Tiger Commander, do you know the consequences?!"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the personal guard smiled bitterly, but he knew in his heart that if his injuries had not been truly beyond repair, Lie Yunhu would never have taken such a gamble.

Unlike the tense atmosphere outside the villa.

Inside the villa, Ye Chen and Lie Yunhu were not nervous at all. Ye Chen checked on Lie Yunhu's condition while chatting casually.

Lie Yunhu carefully took out a small wine bottle from a hidden compartment under the bed, a smug smile on his face.

You know, after he got injured, they wouldn't let him drink alcohol, which almost drove him crazy.

He kept this small bottle hidden away, not daring to drink it on ordinary days, just to smell the aroma and satisfy his craving.

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised look, Lie Yunhu shook the bottle in his hand and said, "This is a good thing, a fifty-year-old vintage."

"Anyway, we don't know if we can survive this ordeal, so we can't waste this good stuff."

As he spoke, he took out another wine glass and poured a little more than half of it into it.

Ye Chen said, "You're not in the right state to drink alcohol."

Lie Yunhu said, "That's all we'll drink."

Ye Chen glanced at the wine glass and was about to nod when Lie Yunhu pushed the glass towards him.

Then Lie Yunhu held up the small wine bottle and said, "Come and have a drink with me."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes, but still picked up his wine glass and clinked it against his wine pot.

I tilted my head back and drank it all in one gulp. I could clearly feel the liquor sliding down my throat into my stomach, like a line of fire burning straight down.

Immediately afterwards, a warm current slowly spread to my limbs and bones, making me feel warm all over.

"Good stuff, no wonder it's a 50-year-old vintage."

Lie Yunhu said, "Hehe, these are some good things I got from the backyard of Wudang Mountain. It's a pity that there are only so many left."

As he spoke, Lie Yunhu tilted his head back and drank the last drop from the small bottle in one gulp, then exhaled a long, pleasant breath.

"Even if I die now, I have no regrets."

Ye Chen said calmly, "Stop talking about dying. I'm here, you won't die so easily."

"But you came to Wucheng not just to heal your wounds, right? My junior sister said that a soul-stealing thing came to Wucheng some time ago."

“It hasn’t been long, and you’ve already arrived in Wucheng injured. I don’t believe this is a coincidence.”

Upon hearing this, Lie Yunhu smiled with admiration and said, "As expected of a prodigy from Wuming Mountain, I didn't expect you to guess it with just such a small clue."

"That's right. The reason I came to Wucheng this time is to lure out Soul Reaper as a child. After all, it's too dangerous for such an assassin to be lurking in the country."

"I just don't know if that soul-snatcher will take the bait. Otherwise, all this fuss would be a bit unnecessary."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "If you just released the news of your injury and kept a low profile, perhaps Gouhun would still think there was a problem."

"But the usually low-key Crimson Gold War God suddenly held a banquet, but he didn't attend in person and even arranged for heavy troops to guard it."

“I know those assassins too well. The more difficult the mission, the more they can’t resist taking on the challenge.”

"Moreover, the news of your injury has been internationally recognized. It's like meat that's right in front of you; Gouhun can't possibly pass it up."

Even if he has some doubts about your situation, he will probably find a way to investigate before he stops.

Upon hearing this, Lie Yunhu nodded slightly and said, "Although I am injured, crushing a rat in a ditch is still a piece of cake for me."

Feeling the heroic and domineering aura emanating from Lie Yunhu, Ye Chen secretly praised him, realizing that none of the experts who could reach the Martial Sect level were simple.

Moreover, Ye Chen also sensed that if it weren't for the poisoning and injury, Lie Yunhu's aura was already showing signs of breaking through to the Martial Venerable realm.

If given the right opportunity, he might become a new Martial Venerable in the Dragon Kingdom.

Just then, Ye Chen's ears twitched slightly, sensing something, and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "It seems that the guest you've been waiting for has arrived, Tiger General."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, a dark figure, like a ghost, darted in through a window on one side.

When the shadowy figure saw that there were two people in the room, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In just a moment, the dark figure pounced on Lie Yunhu, holding a three-edged military dagger that shimmered with a ghostly green light in his hand.

Sensing the killing intent locking onto him, Lie Yunhu instantly unleashed a powerful aura.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a terminally ill patient into a majestic and fierce tiger.

With a single palm strike, the powerful true energy transformed into a fierce tiger, charging directly towards the oncoming black shadow.
