In fact, Lin Yun had long predicted that the Assassination Guild would return.
But even so, including Lin Yun's battle with the White Bone Eagle King, he had used all his trump cards. The purpose of his actions was to force him into a corner and force the person who was secretly protecting him to appear.
Indeed, it was as Lin Yun had expected. The person who was secretly protecting him was finally forced to appear. But what surprised Lin Yun was that the person was actually the blonde girl named 'Julia' from back then.
When they saw Julia suddenly appear, the four assassins from the Assassination Guild revealed a perplexed expression. It was as though they did not know the girl in front of them, but she also seemed somewhat familiar.
After sizing her up for a moment, Number Six suddenly widened his eyes as a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "It's … It's you!"
Julia's cold face did not show any expression. "This kid is someone I want to protect. If you want to touch him, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Upon hearing Julia's words, the four assassins from the Assassination Guild had extremely grave expressions.
After hesitating for a moment, No. 6 said coldly, "Capture him alive, it's our branch leader's order."
"That's your branch's business. It has nothing to do with me. I just want him to be safe. I don't care about anything else. You can go back now, "Julia said nonchalantly.
"Why are you protecting him?" Number Six glanced at Lin Yun and asked Julia curiously.
Julia immediately circulated her Yuan Qi and released a powerful pressure. "I said you can go back now. Do you need me to repeat myself?"
Number Six subconsciously took a step back and said to the three people behind him with a face full of cold sweat, "Let's go."
The moment Number Six said that, the four of them turned into four shadows and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Only after the assassins from the Assassination Guild left did Lin Yun ask Julia, "I'm also very curious. Why are you protecting me?"
Julia turned to look at Lin Yun with a strange look in her eyes. This was something she had never seen before.
"I haven't seen you for half a year. You've improved quite fast." Julia changed the topic and greeted Lin Yun.
"Compared to you, my progress is nothing," Lin Yun replied.
"Me?" Only now did Julia remember that the first time she met Lin Yun, she was only a Level Nine Martial Master.
Everyone present listened to their conversation in silence, and they couldn't help but feel curious about the relationship between the two.
In particular, as Lin Yun's wife, Nangong Yan, had already secretly guessed the relationship between Lin Yun and Julia. She subconsciously compared Julia's appearance and strength with her own.
After a round of comparison, Nangong Yan was ashamed to realize that although she did not lose to this woman in terms of appearance, in terms of strength, she was completely crushed by this woman.
This woman looked to be in her early twenties, at most five or six years older than her. However, she had the cultivation of a Level Three Martial Ancestor.
On the other hand, she had just broken through to the Martial Master realm when she was fifteen years old. It was impossible for her to reach the level of a Martial Ancestor in her lifetime, much less when she was twenty.
The difference between the two of them could be described as heaven and earth.
Faced with such a beautiful and powerful woman, Nangong Yan instinctively felt a trace of wariness in her heart. It was as if her appearance could snatch away Lin Yun at any time.
"You have yet to tell me the reason why you are protecting me." Naturally, Lin Yun did not know what Nangong Yan was thinking, nor did he care about Julia's cultivation. He only wanted to know why Julia had secretly protected him time and time again.
Of course, Lin Yun did not think that she had secretly protected him time and time again because he had helped her suck out the Primordial Qi. There must be a more complicated reason for her to do so.
Julia sensed her surroundings, then said to Lin Yun, "You are safe now. It is time for me to leave."
Lin Yun said indifferently, "Since you have already shown yourself, why do you need to run? There must be a reason why you are protecting me. You were asked by someone, right? "
Just as Julia was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yun in surprise. It was obvious that Lin Yun was right.
Lin Yun walked towards her step by step. "Previously, you told me that you are an assassin. With your cultivation, you are definitely not an ordinary assassin. "
"And you and the assassins from the Assassination Society obviously know each other. If my guess is correct, you are also a member of the Assassination Society, right? Or at least, you used to be. "
When they heard Lin Yun say that Julia was a member of the Assassination Society, Country Guarding King and the four generals instantly tensed up. When they heard Lin Yun say that at least she used to be, their tensed nerves relaxed.
Lin Yun walked in front of Julia and analyzed word by word, "Since you used to be a member of the Assassination Society, why did you not hesitate to go against the Assassination Society and protect me, a person who has nothing to do with you?"
"If it was just because I helped you half a year ago, it might not make sense. So, the only thing I can think of is that you were asked by someone important to protect me. "
Julia was stunned for two seconds, then she smiled helplessly at Lin Yun. "You are still so smart, as smart as when I first met you."
Lin Yun did not care at all. He asked eagerly, "Who asked you to protect me? Where is she now? "
Julia looked at Lin Yun, shook her head, and said, "You are not strong enough now, so it is not time to tell you yet. Even if you know the answer now, it will only add to your troubles.
Also, she does not want … you to know these things. "
At this point, Julia's eyes revealed a trace of sadness.
However, this sadness was quickly concealed by her. She continued to say to Lin Yun, "There is something else that I have to remind you of."
Her tone suddenly became repressed. "Don't go against the Assassination Society!"
Hearing Julia's words, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, I can't do it."
Julia said seriously, "You don't understand what kind of force the Assassination Society is."
Country Guarding King could not help but interrupt. "Isn't it just a third-grade force that is equivalent to an empire? If we, the second-grade forces, unite, even if we cannot go against them, at least we will not be at their mercy! "
Julia laughed coldly. "If you think that the Assassination Society is just an ordinary third-grade force in the Sky Martial Continent, then you are really too naive."
"You … What do you mean?" Country Guarding King was stunned. He did not understand what Julia meant.
Zhu Liya glared at the Country Protector Emperor and sneered in disdain, "The Assassination Guild is far more complicated than you mortals think."
