Urban Magic Eye

"Kill me?" Yin Qi said disdainfully, "Do you know who I am? As long as I shout now, hundreds of thousands of high grade cultivators will immediately come out and blast you into pieces."    

Currently, they were less than a hundred miles away from Huangsha City. If Yin Qi really mustered all of his magical energy to ask for help, his voice could still be transmitted to Huangsha City. Furthermore, Yin Qi was a member of Hidden Kill Alliance. Although his ability to fight wasn't very powerful, his ability to escape made an early Golden Core cultivator blush with shame.    

And now, the black-robed cultivator in front of him was only at the intermediate Golden Core realm. Yin Qi was confident that he could hold on until the reinforcements arrived.    

"He's at the end of his life, yet he's still at a loss. What a pity!" The black-robed man sneered and summoned a vermillion Flying Sword. Without further ado, he used the Flying Sword to attack Yin Qi.    

"Crimson Sword! You are South-suppressing King's man." Yin Qi said in shock. Every major power would prepare a unique magic treasure for their subordinate. It was not for the sake of pretending to be 13, nor was it for the sake of distinguishing between them. It was purely for convenience.    

Take South-suppressing King's Crimson Red Sword, which was used by Golden Core cultivators! As long as it was a Golden Core cultivator under South-suppressing King's command, he would configure one.    

There was a copper mine in Tiannan County that was extremely rich. The scarlet copper was the most important material to refine the scarlet red sword.    

This was the reason why all the Golden Core cultivators under South-suppressing King had a red sword.    

The scarlet sword wasn't a good Flying Sword, it was a low grade magic treasure. However, for Golden Core cultivators, it was already good enough to have a magic treasure grade Flying Sword. After all, many late Golden Core cultivators didn't necessarily have magic treasures in their hands.    

Of course, if you had the financial resources, you could totally not use the Crimson Red Sword. However, South-suppressing King still had to give you the Crimson Red Sword, this was the benefit of Golden Core cultivators.    

You could sell it, you could give it to others. These were all your rights.    

There were many cultivators who used the Red Sword among the rogue cultivators, but most of them were South-suppressing King's subordinates. That was why Yin Qi thought that this black-robed man was South-suppressing King's subordinate.    

More importantly, where was this place?    

In order to keep this a secret, South-suppressing King and Pingwu King had slaughtered all the rogue cultivators in Huangsha City. Those rogue cultivators who were lucky enough to escape from this calamity had already fled to an unknown place. Those who were able to appear within a hundred miles of Huangsha City... Apart from South-suppressing King and Pingwu King's subordinates, Yin Qi really couldn't think of anyone else.    

Furthermore, those few sentences didn't sound like much at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, there was a deeper meaning behind it.    

All of these factors combined made Yin Qi conclude that the person in front of him was South-suppressing King's subordinate.    

Why did South-suppressing King want to kill him? Yin Qi also understood in his heart. Just now in the main hall, South-suppressing King was very unwilling to give him the reward in front of him.    

Although in the end, he agreed to it under Pingwu King's persuasion, but people's hearts could not be understood. Who knew what people's inner thoughts were. What's more, the Qianyi Spirit Stone was not just one or two pieces.    

"South-suppressing King, what a ruthless heart!" Yin Qi avoided the Flying Sword as he cursed. Even an assassin would not be ashamed to do such a thing. It had blinded South-suppressing King's status as a duke.    

Under the black robe, Lee Hao smiled. The first step was perfect, making Yin Qi aim at South-suppressing King.    

It was time to carry out the second step.    

Lee Hao had transformed into the assassin sent by South-suppressing King. He wanted to take Yin Qi's life. He didn't show any mercy at all. He controlled the angle of the red sword and aimed it at Yin Qi's vitals.    

Yin Qi's ability wasn't small, but the gap between the two realms was too great. In just a moment, his body had been wounded by the Flying Sword.    

"No! I have to think of a way to escape." Yin Qi knew that if this continued, he would die for sure. He didn't want to die now.    

Yin Qi wasn't an assassin, but he still had his trump card. He took out a green pill from his storage bag that was emitting a fragrant aroma.    

After taking out the pill, Yin Qi immediately crushed it, causing a strange fragrance to spread out.    

"This is the incense!" Lee Hao, who was pretending to be a black-robed cultivator, immediately gave up on chasing after Yin Qi. He started circulating his energy to resist the incense. He even took out an antidote from his storage bag and consumed it.    

Taking advantage of this opportunity to catch his breath, Yin Qi took out the Flying Cloud Shuttle. With a swoosh, it had already disappeared into the horizon.    

Since Yin Qi had left, there was no need for Lee Hao to pretend anymore. He left the place.    

A subordinate pretending to be South-suppressing King wanted to assassinate Yin Qi, was this move useful? Lee Hao felt that it was still somewhat useful.    

According to the information Lee Hao had collected over the past few days, Lee Hao had a certain understanding of the Hidden Kill Alliance.    

When the Hidden Kill Alliance accepted assassination missions, they would always pay the Spirit Stone first and then the Spirit Stone later. This was a rare occurrence in the world.    

The Hidden Kill Alliance had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. The rules were strict and there was a set of fixed procedures that were carried out. This was something that everyone knew about.    

In the Hidden Kill Alliance, after the employer handed in the Spirit Stone and placed the order, it would be recorded in the record. Then, it would be issued to the assassin through a means of communication.    

The assassin would decide whether to accept the mission or not based on the difficulty and reward of the mission. It was relatively free.    

Of course, every mission had to be completed by an assassin. There were some missions that assassins did not like. At this time, the Hidden Kill Alliance would appear and force an assassin to complete them.    

Every assassination mission that followed the standard procedure was recorded in the record. The Spirit Stone had been stored in the treasury long ago.    

An assassin would do a bloody business, but there was no need to talk about favors. Without the Spirit Stone, it was impossible to ask them to help.    

But this time, South-suppressing King and Pingwu King had invited them. The price was naturally a Spirit Stone that was more than ten times more expensive than an ordinary Spirit Stone.    

Could this kind of business be done? If he succeeded, he would be able to earn a fortune from the risk. However, if he failed, the Hidden Kill Alliance's headquarters would punish him. Putting everything else aside, he would take his position as the person in charge first.    

The risk was very high. This kind of thing was usually done privately. Only after the matter was settled would it be spread out according to the rules. This way, no one would know about it.    

However, this time, the mission was destined to not be completed.    

Lee Hao was currently dead, but South-suppressing King and Pingwu King would never give the Hidden Kill Alliance the Spirit Stone as long as they didn't step into the Fallen Immortal City.    

But the Hidden Kill Alliance thought that they had completed the mission, but the two princes did not give the Spirit Stone to them. What were they doing?    

Conflicts were destined to exist. What Lee Hao was doing now was to stimulate this conflict in advance, making the Hidden Kill Alliance think that South-suppressing King would turn against them and refuse to give the Spirit Stone to them.    

The Hidden Kill Alliance was powerful, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was a huge power. Both sides had the confidence, so who was afraid of who?    

As for why he wanted to kill Yin Qi, Yin Qi was the key point, and he was the contact person for this bounty mission.    

If Yin Qi died, no one would be able to contact South-suppressing King and Pingwu King. One must know that Mountain Lord of the Hidden Kill Alliance had always been hiding behind the scenes. He would never show himself.    

If Yin Qi died, South-suppressing King could insist that he didn't know about Lee Hao's death. He could buy some time until Lee Hao showed up.    

Would the matter end? No! On the contrary, that was when the conflict between the Hidden Kill Alliance and South-suppressing King could not be reconciled.    

Deceiving the employer and obtaining the reward, just this point alone could cause the reputation of the Hidden Kill Alliance to be tarnished in Tiannan County.    

It was very difficult to establish the credibility of an assassin, but it was destroyed in an instant! At that time, without Lee Hao's help, the headquarters of Hidden Kill Alliance would skin the person in charge of the branch hall in Tiannan County, causing him to die without a burial ground.
