In the hall, the Bright Light Pearl emitted a white light, illuminating the hall as if it was daytime.
Chu Mu and Nalan Fenghua were in the hall. The maid Xiao Huan was rubbing her eyes, and the housekeeper Nalan He was also there. There was also a corpse.
The corpse was dressed in a black suit, made of very exquisite material and expensive. His face was covered, and there was a wound where his heart was, but no blood was flowing out.
Worry flashed in Nalan Fenghua's eyes from time to time. Nalan He squatted down and removed the black cloth on the assassin's face, revealing a pale face. It was not only because of the loss of blood, but also because it had been very pale before.
Perhaps it was because he had been moving in the dark for a long time and had not been exposed to sunlight.
The assassin looked to be in his thirties, but his actual age was unclear. His eyes were long and narrow, giving off a dark and evil feeling. However, no one recognized him.
Nalan He put on gloves and searched the assassin's clothes, but did not find anything. In the end, he took the space bracelet and handed it to Chu Mu.
Space rings were not considered precious in the Ancient World, but in the Heaven Wasteland Domain, they were extremely rare treasures.
The spatial bracelet was ownerless, so Chu Mu's mental remembrance easily seeped into it. There weren't many things, just a few pills and two short swords. They were identical to the short swords the killer used, so they were probably backup swords. Other than that, there was also a token.
Chu Mu took out the token and looked at it carefully. The token was blood-red, and the back was the shape of a building. On the front, there was an ancient word — — Thorn!
The word "Thorn" was golden and very conspicuous. Under the golden word, there was a small word, "Thirteen."
Nalan Fenghua, Xiao Huan, and Chu Mu did not know. They could only guess that it was some organization. Nalan He's expression changed greatly, and his face became gloomy.
"Uncle He, do you know the identity of this assassin?" Nalan Fenghua immediately asked.
"An assassin from the Bloodthorn Tower." Nalan He's tone was very serious, and the corners of his eyes trembled, showing that he was extremely afraid of the Bloodthorn Tower.
"Bloodthorn Tower?" Chu Mu was not from the Heaven Wasteland Domain and did not know much about it. Nalan Fenghua and Xiao Huan were too weak and did not know much about it.
"Bloodpiercing Tower is a top-notch assassin organization. Their assassins are all trained internally. According to their ranks, they are divided into gold, silver, copper, and iron. Gold is the highest, and iron is the lowest. Each rank of assassin is further divided into one, two, three, four, and so on. Their strength is also ranked from high to low." Nalan He said slowly, "This assassin is Golden Number 13. His strength has at least reached the Origin Realm. Dacheng is strong enough to assassinate a Complete Origin Realm swordsman."
As he spoke, Nalan He looked at Chu Mu with admiration and respect. This assassin could assassinate an ordinary swordsman at the Complete Origin Realm, but he had died under Chu Mu's sword. Didn't this mean that Chu Mu's strength was stronger than an ordinary swordsman at the Complete Origin Realm?
It was hard to imagine what kind of great power could nurture a genius like Chu Mu.
"Fortunately, the assassin is dead." Nalan Fenghua said with some lingering fear.
"It's not that simple. Bloodthorn Tower has a rule. They will assassinate the same target three times. This is the so-called 'triple kill' rule. If the first assassination is successful, then nothing will happen. If it fails, then they will try a second and third assassination. If they fail all three times, then they will give up." Nalan He said in an incomparably dignified manner, "In other words, Grandmaster Chu, you will have to face two more assassination attempts from Bloodthorn Tower. Moreover, because of the failure of this assassination attempt, the next assassin will be even stronger. I estimate that it will be an assassin before the tenth."
When Nalan He said this, Xiao Huan was dumbfounded. Nalan Fenghua was anxious. On the other hand, Chu Mu was not worried at all.
"It's fine." He said indifferently.
"I don't have any good plans right now. Even if Grandmaster Chu leaves the Border City, the assassins of the Bloodthorn Tower will still find him. Moreover, the strength of the Bloodthorn Tower is extremely powerful. I reckon that the Heavenly Dan Building is far from being comparable to them. Therefore, we can only rely on Grandmaster Chu." Nalan He sighed.
One method was to take the initiative and find Bloodthorn Tower's location. Then, he could kill all of their assassins. Naturally, he would be able to avoid future troubles. However, that would require great strength and intelligence.
Bloodthorn Tower was able to train so many powerful assassins. They must have even more powerful existences. They might even have experts on the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon. Moreover, Bloodthorn Tower was very mysterious. Apart from their members, no one else knew where they were.
The remaining method was just as Nalan He said. Wait, wait until Bloodthorn Tower's assassins came again. Chu Mu would have to rely on his own strength to deal with them.
The worst result would be being killed by the assassins. Of course, Chu Mu was very confident in himself. He still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Therefore, Chu Mu wasn't worried at all.
"The first assassination failed. The second one won't come so soon. Take advantage of this time, I suggest that Master Chu temporarily stop refining pills and make more preparations." Nalan He said.
"It must be that trash Yuwen Wutian." Xiao Huan said angrily.
"Besides him, Heavenly Pill Building is also a suspect." Nalan Fenghua said.
"Yuwen Wutian's probability is the highest." Chu Mu said, "Go and rest. We'll deal with it when the time comes."
After saying that, Chu Mu put away the assassin's corpse. He turned around and walked out of the hall, returning to his room.
Nalan Fenghua and the others returned anxiously. The hall was empty. Even the Bright Light Bead had been taken away.
…
"Yuwen Wutian, I pray that you have already left Desolate City." Chu Mu secretly said. He left the room and blended into the night.
From the time Yuwen Wutian came to the Small Pill Building to the time when Bloodthorn Tower's assassins came to assassinate him, there were three days. During these three days, Yuwen Wutian could still be in Desolate City, waiting for the result of the assassination.
Of course, he could also have left.
Chu Mu's mind spread out and condensed into a beam that directly spread out to a length of 20,000 meters. Under his control, this beam of mind swept across. Everything within 20,000 meters was immediately perceived by him. It was very clear.
If the six Mind Stars were not sealed, Chu Mu could use even more terrifying mind power. The range of coverage would also be larger, and the efficiency of searching would be several times higher.
Fortunately, Desolate Border City was only a low rank city, and its area wasn't especially large. With a distance of twenty thousand meters, it was extremely fast to quickly sweep through the entire city. Adding on Chu Mu's extremely fast movement technique, it didn't take long for him to search through Desolate Border City.
As he searched quickly, he thought.
Judging from Yuwen Wutian's habits, if he was still in Desolate City, it was very likely that he was staying in a better restaurant or inn in Desolate City. Of course, this did not rule out special circumstances.
Therefore, on the way to the center of Desolate City, Chu Mu's mind power did not stop.
In the entire Desolate City, there was no one whose strength could be compared with Chu Mu's. Therefore, no one could sense Chu Mu's mind power.
When he arrived at the center of Desolate City, Chu Mu's mind power swept across, and a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes.
…
"Why haven't the assassins of Bloodthorn Tower arrived yet?" Yuwen Wutian was pacing back and forth in the most luxurious room of the most luxurious restaurant in Desolate City. He was somewhat anxious.
Chu Mu's terror had left a deep impression on him, and he, who had never suffered losses, was not willing to leave with his tail between his legs. Therefore, he had paid a high price to hire the gold medal assassins of Bloodthorn Tower.
His four sword guards and servants, as well as the old man, who had recovered from his injuries, were all present.
"They're already here." A faint voice sounded, as if answering Yuwen Wutian's question. Then, the sound of wind breaking was heard, and something flew in through the window.
The old man's figure moved, and he swept out his palm, hitting the thing immediately. It fell to the side, and it was a corpse in black clothes, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Not good, young master, leave quickly." The old man's complexion changed greatly, and he quickly shouted, standing in front of Yuwen Wutian. The four sword guards immediately moved to protect Yuwen Wutian and leave this place.
Yuwen Wutian was not stupid. He reacted quickly and was about to leave when a Sword Light flew in from outside the window. Immediately, everyone in the room felt that they could not avoid it, as if the sword was aimed at them.
They were extremely frightened, and there was no way to avoid it. The shadow of death shrouded their hearts.
This sword seemed to have come from the sky, with the intention to kill.
Vaguely, everyone saw a Sword Light piercing towards them. It seemed to be moving very slowly, but they could not react in time, let alone dodge or block it. They could only watch the Sword Light approach them.
The old man in the Initial Origin Realm roared, and the sword in his hand slashed out with all his strength. This sword attack contained all of his strength. Unfortunately, he did not know how to control his strength, otherwise, the power of this sword attack would have been even more powerful.
However, even if he knew how to control his strength, it was useless. His strength was too weak compared to Chu Mu's.
In an instant, the Sword Light shattered, and Chu Mu's Sword Light pierced the old man's throat. His tyrannical spiritual consciousness was integrated into the Sword Light, destroying his spiritual world.
Then, the spiritual world of the four sword guards and the servant was also destroyed by Chu Mu's tyrannical spiritual consciousness. In the end, only Yuwen Wutian was left.
"Do you have any last words?" Chu Mu landed in front of Yuwen Wutian and said lightly.
"Don't … Don't … Don't kill me …" Yuwen Wutian was scared out of his wits. He collapsed on the ground, and his pants were wet. He looked extremely terrified as he begged.
"Tell me about the strength of the Yuwen family." Chu Mu said lightly.
Yuwen Wutian told everything he knew about the Yuwen family. After he finished, he begged Chu Mu not to kill him.
"Don't kill me. I swear, from now on, I will never go against you again. I will not cause you any trouble, and I will not marry Nalan Fenghua as my concubine." Yuwen Wutian made his final promise.
"Your promise is indeed very sincere, but I believe in dead people more." Chu Mu said. Yuwen Wutian was in disbelief and despair. Chu Mu beheaded him.
