"Let's continue with the mission that Chi Ming failed."
Yin Yang looked at Tai Wu and said.
"Alright."
Tai Wu nodded. "This time, you won't let a Three Star Assassin make a move again, right?"
"Although Chi Ming isn't the best among the Three Star Assassins, he's still one of the best. Since he failed and was killed, it's only natural that I won't let a Three Star Assassin make a move again. This time, I'm going to let Chi Mei make a move!"
Yin Yang's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke clearly.
Some time ago, he had specially returned to the Mountainshade Black Market's branch to verify that Chi Ming's Soul Pearl had shattered. The time it shattered was when he was carrying out the mission.
The shattering of the Soul Pearl also meant that he was dead!
"Chi Mei?"
Tai Wu was surprised. "As far as I know, Chi Mei is already considered a top-notch trump card in the branch, right? She has never failed to kill a target below the Saint Stage. "
"That's right. Chi Mei is one of the trump cards in our branch in the Nine Sect Alliances' district. She's a Quasi Four Star Assassin!"
Yin Yang nodded.
In the Mountainshade Black Market, Quasi Four Star Assassins usually had the strength of an Imminent Saint Stage.
Since they were assassins, they usually would not make a move directly. Whenever they made a move, it would be a surprise move.
For this reason, the Quasi Four Star Assassins in the Mountainshade Black Market usually had the strength to kill an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse.
Naturally, not all Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses could be killed.
Some Half-step Saint Realm experts were so powerful that they could stand shoulder to shoulder with weaker Saint Realm experts due to various reasons.
It would be difficult for a Quasi Four Star Assassin to kill these Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses.
However, such Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses usually did not exist in the Nine Sect Alliances' district.
Usually, such Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses would only appear among the young talents from fifth-rate forces, fourth-rate forces, and even more powerful forces.
If Duan Lingtian had the cultivation base of an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse in the future, he would naturally belong to this category as well.
His innate talent and potential were not inferior to those young talents from the powerful forces.
"With Chi Mei making a move, this mission should be a success," Tai Wu said.
Based on his words, it seemed like he was confident in the Quasi Four Star Assassin, Chi Mei.
Other than being a quasi Four Star Assassin, Chi Mei was also a woman.
This woman was also the only female Quasi Four Star Assassin in the Mountainshade Black Market's regional branch in the Nine Sect Alliances.
Apart from that, she was also widely acknowledged as the strongest Quasi Four Star Assassin in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch.
No one had ever seen Chi Mei's true face. Even Yin Yang and Tai Wu had only seen Chi Mei's graceful figure under a black cloak.
Regardless of the fact that Chi Mei's face was covered by her black clothes, just her devilish figure was enough to make any man drool.
However, even Tai Wu and Yin Yang did not dare to have any thoughts about Chi Mei.
This was because the person behind Chi Mei was the leader of the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in the Nine Sect Alliances.
As for the relationship between Chi Mei and the Mountainshade Black Market's Leader, it was a mystery to everyone.
Most likely, only Chi Mei and the leader of the Mountainshade Black Market's branch knew the answer to this.
However, there were still many people from the Mountainshade Black Market who were discussing and speculating in private.
Some said that Chi Mei was the leader's woman.
Some said that Chi Mei was the leader's illegitimate daughter.
Some even said that Chi Mei was the leader's granddaughter.
No matter what, Chi Mei's origin was still a mystery. It was a mystery that made people curious but unable to solve.
Although the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in Han River City was the main branch, it was not the Mountainshade Black Market's branch's lair.
The Mountainshade Black Market's branch's lair was located deep in the mountains north of Han River City. It was hidden behind layers of Illusory Formations.
Apart from the Mountainshade Black Market's high-ranking officials and some ace assassins who knew how to enter this place, the rest of the people in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch could not even enter, let alone know about this place.
The Illusory Formation in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch's lair was mysterious and unpredictable. It was jointly set up by a Four Star Saint Inscription Master and a Four Star Dao Talisman Master.
Naturally, this did not mean that the Mountainshade Black Market's branch had a Four Star Saint Inscription Master and a Four Star Dao Talisman Master.
This was because the Four Star Saint Inscription Master and a Four Star Dao Talisman Master who set up the formation were sent by the Mountainshade Black Market's higher-ranking branch. They only set up the formation for the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in the Nine Sect Alliances.
After setting up the formation, they left.
Even an ordinary Saint Stage powerhouse would find it extremely difficult to enter this Illusory Formation.
Through the layers of Illusory Formations, one could see that in the depths of the mountains, there was a huge valley surrounded by independent mansions.
At first glance, these mansions were everywhere in the mountains.
Whoosh!
Without warning, a sharp arrow carrying a jade token flew through the air and finally nailed itself on a wooden plaque in the front courtyard of a mansion halfway up the mountain.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same instant when the sharp arrow nailed itself on the wooden plaque, a delicate purple sparrow appeared out of thin air.
It opened its mouth and bit the sharp arrow, easily pulling it out from the wooden plaque. The entire process was extremely easy.
Whoosh!
The purple sparrow disappeared into thin air and reappeared in the backyard of the mansion.
The backyard was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was obvious that a formation had been set up.
This formation had completely blocked the view from the outside.
Naturally, it was extremely clear when one looked from the inside.
At this moment, a young lady was sitting next to the small lake in the backyard. Her lotus root-like jade-like feet were gently stirring the water in the lake. Her peerlessly beautiful face seemed to be in deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"Sister, sister."
The young lady only snapped back to her senses when the purple sparrow appeared and spoke in human language. She conveniently took the sharp arrow from the purple sparrow's mouth.
After tossing the sharp arrow away and leaving only the jade token behind, the young lady extended her Spiritual Energy and merged with it.
Soon after, the information in the jade token surged into her mind.
"Moon Illumination Sect, Duan Lingtian, Saint Rudiment Stage? He was only at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage a few months ago … There's actually such a monstrous Martial Dao prodigy in this godforsaken place? "
The young lady was a little surprised.
"Asking me to attack such a target … Are those Three Star Assassins trash?"
Unknowingly, the young lady began to frown.
However, when she sorted out all the information in her mind, her brows relaxed again. "Chi Ming actually failed? Interesting, interesting … Zi 'er, it seems like we'll have to go out for a while. "
The young lady's last sentence was obviously directed at the purple sparrow.
"Hehe … Finally, there's a mission. Sister, leave the target to me this time. I'll definitely do it well. "
The purple sparrow hovered in front of the young lady and swore as it flapped its wings.
"We'll see when the time comes."
The young lady smiled faintly. "In my opinion, that Moon Illumination Sect's disciple called Duan Lingtian must have someone protecting him … That person must be the Three Star Saint Inscription Master from the Moon Illumination Sect, Bai Li Hong. He's comparable to an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse if he uses all his techniques."
"Sister, why don't I give you the target and leave Bai Li Hong to me?"
Upon hearing the young lady's words, the purple sparrow immediately changed its words. Based on its words, it seemed like it did not take Bai Li Hong who was comparable to an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse seriously.
"Zi 'er, if you're going to nag again, you'd better stay at home obediently."
The young lady frowned and glared at the purple sparrow. The latter was so shocked that it immediately shut its mouth, not daring to make any more noise.
When the young lady walked into the room and came out again, her entire body was covered in a layer of black clothes.
That peerlessly beautiful face was now completely covered up, not revealing the slightest bit.
However, the lady's devilish figure was enough to make other women feel ashamed of their inferiority and men drool over her.
Soon after, the lady vanished into thin air.
The purple sparrow disappeared along with her as well.
There was a remote mountain range 10,000 miles west of the cluster of mountains where the Mountainshade Black Market's branch's lair was located.
The mountain range looked barren from afar. Not a single blade of grass grew on it. It was as though it was a land of extinction.
At this moment, there was a slightly wretched figure who was holding a pearl tightly in her hand as she made her way to the depths of the mountain range.
"Brother, now that the Ouyang Clan and Father are gone, you don't have to continue being punished anymore … I'll go get you now."
The owner of the wretched figure was also a young lady.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this young lady was none other than the Ouyang Clan's Second Young Miss, Ouyang Ruo.
Ouyang Ruo should have died along with the Ouyang Clan.
However, she was lucky because she happened to be outside and managed to escape the disaster.
Although she managed to escape the disaster, her days were not easy. She had to evade the Mountainshade Black Market's assassins all the way before she finally left Han River City in a panic.
The direction Ouyang Ruo was heading in was the direction of the Ouyang Clan's Nether Ridge that had been passed down since ancient times.
Her purpose was simple, which was to look for her brother in the Nether Ridge.
If the Clan Leader of Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Ba, was still alive and knew about Ouyang Ruo's thoughts, he would definitely smile wryly.
This was because Ouyang Ruo was too naive.
Naturally, Ouyang Ruo could not be blamed for this. This was because there were not many people in the Ouyang Clan who knew about the Nether Ridge.
The Nether Ridge was a bottomless abyss.
Unless one came out of it, death would be the only way out for them.
Moreover, the pearl in Ouyang Ruo's hand was the Soul Pearl of her brother, Ouyang Qing. She had taken it from the Ouyang Clan's ancestral shrine after the Ouyang Clan was annihilated.
That day, when she sneaked into the Ouyang Clan's ancestral shrine, most of the Soul Pearls inside had already shattered. Only a few Soul Pearls belonging to the lineal disciples who were not in the Ouyang Clan were left.
In the Ouyang Clan, only the lineal disciples were qualified to possess a Soul Pearl.
