"Master Ji, please treat Fourth Brother!"
Hearing Ji Ye's voice transmission, everybody gathered in the lobby of the inn.
Because Ji Ye noticed in advance, nobody was killed by the Shadow Assassins except for the few servants of the Manor of Beasts.
However, Shi the Fourth had a deep wound on his arm, and the blood that flowed out was purple and stinky.
Those Shadow Assassins had smeared poison on their weapons!
"Master Ji, Shi the Fourth, I …"
Shi the Fourth, on the other hand, covered his arm that was quickly blackening. He didn't really care that he was dying from the poison.
Instead, he looked rather embarrassed.
After all, he had boasted in the afternoon that he would kill every Yuan soldier that came his way, yet he was almost killed by the Yuan Assassins.
In fact, Shi the Fourth wasn't weak at all. Because of his natural strength and his ability to tame beasts, he was rated as a Quasi Commander.
However, Yuan Assassins were best at assassination. Even an Elite could threaten experts of a higher level!
Since the situation wasn't clear enough, Ji Ye had to keep his Healing talent.
Therefore, he didn't use his Healing Talent. Instead, he directly used the Flood Dragon Bloodline's ability to control water to extract the poisonous blood, and then converted it into Nine Yang Genuine Qi to clean the remaining poison. After that, he asked Wu Qiao to take out some Black Mud and apply it to the wound.
However, those Shadow Assassins obviously followed the principle of retreating as soon as they missed their target.
Except for the one that Ji Ye smashed to death with the Yellow Bankruptcy Mallet, all the other Shadow Assassins managed to escape before the top experts arrived.
However, as Ji Ye speculated, an offering appeared on the Shadow Assassin that was killed.
[Shadow Totem]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]
[Rarity: Refined (offering)]
[Description: The most famous Shadow Assassins of the Yuan Dynasty are said to have been tattooed with such a strange totem since they were young. With it, they can perform all kinds of skills related to shadows. However, the process of fusing the power of shadows is extremely arduous. Those who aren't determined can't bear it.]
"What a shame. If we could get more such totems from those Shadow Assassins, our fort would definitely be much better at detection …"
Wu Qiao's expression changed when she saw the offering's attributes.
Then, there was a hint of pity in her tone. Just like Ji Ye, she had also realized the usefulness of the Shadow Assassins' abilities.
Not only could he be used for assassination, but he was also a very good scout!
"These shadow assassins might not have really left the inn!"
At that moment, Han Meimei, who was standing next to her in the "Iron Man armor", suddenly lowered her voice and said.
In addition to its hallucinatory function, the "Cloud and Mist Array" she had set up could actually sense the movement of targets in the mist. Just now, she did not sense those shadow assassins leaving the inn.
Evidently, these shadow assassins seemed to have retreated on the surface, but they were actually hiding in the inn.
After all, this inn was very large, and because of the lack of lighting equipment, 90% of the area was shrouded in darkness. They could rely on their own abilities to hide and wait for another opportunity to assassinate.
Of course, it was also possible that the Shadow Assassin's concealment ability was too strong for her array to detect.
In fact, those shadow assassins were indeed very good at concealment.
Even though Ji Ye had True Seer, he couldn't tell where the enemy was hiding without seeing them directly. The main reason was that Yan Qing's technique had special requirements, and Ji Ye's mastery of it had just reached Lesser Mastery.
"I have a way to verify it!"
At this moment, Chu Yin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
…
The heavy rain in the sky had stopped at this time.
In the lobby of the inn, Nie Xiaoqian, who was protected by Zhou Botong and Yang Guo, put her hands on the strings and began to play.
Hum, hum, hum …
However, it was different from before. The strings were clearly moving, but no sound could be heard in the ears of the crowd.
It was because it was a song transformed from an Extraordinary Rank-5 Excellent Stone of Civilization that Nie Xiaoqian obtained in the Ten-Species Competition quest.
It was named "Ghost and Fairy"!
It had a very special feature. When it was played, people would be affected by the artistic conception of the song even though they couldn't hear it with their ears. As a result, they would fall into an illusion as if they had encountered a ghost or an immortal.
However, the principle behind the song wasn't too "strange".
In fact, it wasn't because there was no music, but because the music was at a frequency that human ears couldn't hear. The Mirage Guqin that Ji Ye gave to Nie Xiaoqian was very special, which was why she could play such a song.
While Nie Xiaoqian was playing the guqin, Chu Yin sat next to her and listened carefully with her eyes closed.
Chu Yin also obtained an Extraordinary Rank-5 Stone of Civilization, which was transformed into a Spiritual Headset.
It was a headset that mimicked the function of bats and was similar to a radar. It could receive all the refracted and reflected sounds around and then draw pictures in the user's head.
That's right. Chu Yin's solution was to let Nie Xiaoqian play the guqin.
Then, she sensed the locations of the Shadow Assassins that might be lurking through her Spiritual Headset.
Of course, there seemed to be a problem.
According to Qin Yueyu, one of the abilities of the Shadow Assassins was that they could absorb sounds after they melted into the shadows and block most detection methods.
Because of that ability, they could enter and leave Xiangyang City freely. They had even assassinated many officials of Xiangyang City.
It meant that they couldn't reflect sounds.
That was exactly the problem!
Because the sound waves would be absorbed and wouldn't be reflected into the "Spiritual Sound Earphones", Chu Yin could directly locate them.
Hum … Hum … Hum …
Also, when the Mirage Guqin was played, it would generate illusions because of the artistic conception of the song.
In the hall, there were a few figures.
There were even two main characters, a man and a woman, who acted out the love story of a ghost and an immortal!
On a closer look, the female protagonist, who was a ghost, looked very similar to Nie Xiaoqian herself, and the male protagonist, who was an immortal, looked like Ji Ye.
Well, that wasn't the point …
"They're really still here!"
The soundless music played for a while.
Suddenly, a person dashed out of the hall. Ji Ye was holding the Yellow Mallet in one hand and the Jade Dragon Sword in the other.
He dashed into the stable in a corner of the inn as fast as lightning.
Boom, boom, boom …
Then, there was a series of intense fighting noises.
After that, the stable, which occupied a large area, was completely demolished in the blink of an eye. Then, several shadows vomited blood and were flung backward from the broken stable!
Whoosh!
The shadows that vomited blood fell to the ground and didn't get up again.
Only one of them, who was less injured, struggled to rise to the sky, trying to jump over Han Meimei's fog array and escape.
"Roar!"
However, a mallet that was glowing yellow and the size of an adult was even faster than him. It flew into the sky and smashed him to the ground, vomiting blood.
These shadow assassins could transform themselves into shadows with the help of their totems, making it difficult for physical attacks to be fully effective. However, the domineering Dragon Aura or the destructive ability of the mysterious mallet could force them out of the shadow state.
Boom, boom, boom …
At the same time, the noises of battle echoed in other places.
Apart from Reverend Yideng, who was guarding the center hall, Qiu Qianren, Yang Guo, and Zhou Botong, as well as Po, who was wearing a Transcendent battle suit, took action with Ji Ye.
They couldn't see as well as Ji Ye could at night.
But if he knew the enemy's location, all he needed to do was hold a Night Pearl in his hand, and he could make the Shadow Assassins reveal themselves!
"Ugh … Ugh … Ugh …"
As a result, a series of grunts came out of the inn.
Ji Ye, on the other hand, waved the Jade Dragon Sword that was covered in the white Dragon Aura and stabbed it at the forehead of the Shadow Assassin who had been smashed to the ground by the Yellow Mallet!
However, exactly at this moment, the shadow behind him that was illuminated by the Jade Dragon Sword suddenly moved and stood up.
Pew!
In the next moment, the brilliance of a purple sharp weapon appeared and cut Ji Ye's body from the neck.
