Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

As soon as the newly appointed Grand Preceptor of Xuanwu Kingdom, the one-armed sorcerer Huikong, uttered these words, the vast headquarters hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at the assassin leader with curiosity.

The latter looked embarrassed.

How to do?

It feels like the Blade of Fear is acting up today, refusing to grant me any power.

But if this were to be said, how would I, as the leader of the assassins, ever be able to continue working?

Damn it, why did the evil spirit of this Blade of Fear have to give up at this crucial moment!

If only I hadn't been unable to defeat the evil spirit of the Thousand Blades Demon Blade, nor the terrifying top-tier demonic beast Black Ice Phoenix that guarded the Frost and Snow Cold Waves.

We won't take advantage of you!

Despite cursing inwardly, the assassin leader still turned his head to glance at the red spider lilies behind him.

The latter feigned a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, Chief?"

Upon hearing this, the assassin leader snorted coldly.

"nothing."

He then slowly walked back to his throne and sat down.

“Grand Preceptor, I have already tested it with the Blade of Fear, and Manjusaka did not lie.”

Huikong nodded after hearing this.

"In that case, this humble monk will take his leave for now."

In fact, Huikong didn't think that Manjusaka was lying, because this woman's cultivation level was not high; it was just the method of a small sect leader.

She was no match for her master at all.

As for the man the other party mentioned, Huikong felt it was even more impossible.

The one capable of killing the Eyeless Mage must be an unparalleled expert.

Strong individuals at this level are generally proud and arrogant, unwilling to be subordinate to others.

Moreover, the opponent only recently achieved the fiftieth place in the assassin rankings thanks to the Manjusaka flower, so their strength is probably not that great.

He doesn't need to waste his time on such a minor character.

He bowed to the assassin leader with one hand clasped together and then left.

Seeing Huikong walk away, the leader also left with the female robot.

At this moment, Shi Men and the others below chuckled.

"I knew it! Manjusaka is perfectly fine!"

"That's right, with her strength, she can't do anything to the Eyeless Mage at all."

"Speaking of that pretty boy you've got your eye on, he's probably just a gigolo. Even if you can help him for a while, how will you help him when it comes to the ranked matches?"

Manjusaka spat lightly at their teasing.

"My affairs are none of your business."

After saying that, she quietly left.

Stone Gate, Black Bird, and White Fox—these laymen were just watching the spectacle.

Qingfeng, however, saw the real deal.

Others may not understand the principles behind the Demon Blade of Fear, but he understands them perfectly.

He was completely stunned by the leader's performance.

Only those who are fearless and resolute will not be affected by the blade of fear.

He did not think that Manjusaka was that kind of person.

But the opponent withstood the pressure from the Blade of Fear!

This woman is extraordinary.

At this moment, Blackbird chuckled when it saw the stunned Green Phoenix.

"Hahaha, Qingfeng, you were frightened by our leader's methods just now, weren't you?"

The white fox beside her glanced at Qingfeng.

"That makes sense. You've only been in our assassin organization for a short time, so naturally you haven't seen the leader's methods."

"It's normal to be intimidated."

Qingfeng merely snorted at their teasing before turning and leaving.

Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Blackbird looked very unhappy.

"Damn it, what's with this guy who's weaker than a red spider lily?"

The white fox, upon hearing this, chuckled and teased the black bird.

"What, if you're unhappy, go beat him up, and beat up ours too."

The hot-tempered blackbird looked at the white fox with its dark eyes.

"What do you mean? You think I wouldn't dare!"

At this moment, Shi Men interrupted their argument with a deep, muffled voice.

"The organization has rules that Shadow Assassins are not allowed to fight each other."

Blackbird curled his lip in response.

"I know without you telling me, I'm just annoyed by that Qingfeng."

"He joined the organization just by killing a few useless people, and it's so amazing."

At this moment, the white fox, who seemed to enjoy watching the excitement, said quietly.

"I think you're upset that the other party killed one of your former subordinates from the Blackbird faction of the Flying Bird Sect."

Upon hearing this, Blackbird nearly blushed, while the latter smiled and pulled his straw hat down slightly.

"Look, you're in a hurry."

"You're just like that good-for-nothing Red Fang. With such a fiery temper, you'd better be careful you don't get up too early, hahaha."

After saying this, the white fox left with a smile, leaving only the stone gate and the black bird on the field.

…………

Back at his residence, the assassin leader ordered the female robot to guard the door and prevent anyone from disturbing him.

He took out the Blade of Fear and placed it flat on the table.

He then bit his finger and dripped two drops of blood onto the knife handle.

In an instant, the blood was absorbed, and the red eyeballs on the knife handle blinked.

The next second, a black-bodied, white-haired evil spirit emerged from the blade.

Its sound was like sharp fingernails scratching glass, extremely shrill and piercing.

"Why have you summoned me?"

The assassin leader spoke in a rather unfriendly tone upon hearing this.

"Tell me why you're quitting today."

"I haven't treated you badly all these years, have I? You need blood and soul, have I ever wronged you in any way?"

The assassin leader became increasingly agitated as he spoke.

"Do you know that I almost lost face in front of that imperial advisor and his men today!"

In short, the leader's mentality is a bit off today.

Hearing this, the white-haired evil spirit glanced at the other party with its crimson eyes, looking utterly disdainful.

"You're mentally broken, but I'm the one who's mentally broken!"

"You useless piece of trash, do you know how dangerous that situation was just now!"

"I sensed an unknown force, no, two unknown forces!"

"One force is purifying me, while the other is devouring me!!"

"You good-for-nothing, have you offended someone recently?"

Upon hearing this, the assassin leader was taken aback.

There were two unknown forces just now, why didn't he notice them?!

Besides, I haven't offended anyone recently.

Besides, he was the leader of the assassins. If he didn't like someone, he could just kill him. Why would he offend him?

At this moment, the white-haired evil spirit partially materialized one of its claws, which grabbed the assassin leader's collar.

"I'm telling you, you useless piece of trash."

"Without me, even if Suzaku, Qinglong, and all the Shadow Assassins had died back then, it wouldn't have been your turn to sit in the position of the Assassin Leader."

"Recognize your place and watch your tone when you speak to me."

"If I hadn't lent you my power, you'd be nothing but a piece of trash by now."

Having said that, the evil spirit casually tossed the assassin leader aside like trash, and then merged back into the Blade of Fear.

As the red eyes on the hilt glared fiercely at the assassin leader, the Blade of Fear fell silent once more.
