At the same time, thousands of miles away.
This was a natural lake. Below the lake, there was a huge underground space.
And this underground space was the base of the Assassination Society's northern region branch.
This branch's number one assassin had just finished his mission and returned to the base.
Just as he was about to dive into the lake and open a path to the base, he suddenly shot a dart into the forest in the distance.
"Who is it? Come out!" Number one stared at the direction the dart came from and said in a cold voice.
"As expected of the Assassination Society's number one assassin. You're different from others." Following a hoarse voice, a man in black came out of the forest.
The dart shot by Assassin No.1 was still stuck in the chest of the man in black, but there was no blood flowing out. It was obviously a puppet.
"Who are you?" After knowing that the other party was a puppet, assassin number one didn't rush to attack. Instead, he asked curiously.
"My name is Ouyang Xiu. I'm a person who likes to collect information." The puppet introduced itself.
"What's your purpose for coming here?" Assassin number one asked coldly.
The puppet laughed and said, "I've said it before. I'm a person who likes to collect information. So, my purpose for coming here is naturally to sell information to the Assassination Society."
Number one raised his eyebrows. "What kind of information do you have to trade with the Assassination Society?"
The Marionette continued, "I dare say that this is definitely the information you want."
"Let's hear it." Number one said expressionlessly.
The puppet continued with its hoarse voice, "There's a coup in the Yanxue Empire. The rebel army is attacking the empire's army. Both sides will have a decisive battle in the capital today. This is a good opportunity for the Assassination Society to reap the benefits."
Number one narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Why should I believe you?"
The puppet waved its hand indifferently. "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I'm only responsible for selling information. As for whether you believe me or not, that's your business."
"Even if you don't believe me, you still have to pay me back. Because I've already told you this information. If you don't pay me back, you're going back on your word …"
Before the puppet could finish speaking, Number One appeared in front of him in a flash and chopped off his head.
After the puppet's head fell to the ground, it still opened its mouth and said, "Don't be so violent. I was kind enough to tell you the information, but you treat my puppet like this. You really have no conscience at all."
No. 1 didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned around and glanced at the puppet's head.
The humanoid puppet's voice became serious. "You can choose not to report this information to your branch leader. But if the information I provided is true, and you knew it but didn't report it, what kind of consequences will there be? "
Upon hearing the puppet's words, Number One's expression instantly froze, and his expression immediately became solemn.
"That's all I have to say. As for whether or not to report it, you can think about it yourself. In any case, I will be back." After the puppet finished speaking, the light in its eyes suddenly disappeared, as if it had lost its soul.
It was obvious that Ouyang Xiu, who was controlling the puppet from behind the scenes, had cut off his connection with the puppet.
No. 1 stood still and pondered for a moment. In the end, he decided to pass on this information to his branch president.
…
Four hours later.
Lin Yun came to a large canyon that was hundreds of meters deep. This was the location of the Li Huo Sect headquarters that Lin Yun had used his brain to invade and pry into Yan Xue's memories.
Lin Yun immediately radiated his perception. Very quickly, he discovered that in the middle of this large canyon, there was a small cave that was covered with weeds.
This small cave was obviously the entrance to the Li Huo Sect headquarters.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun immediately turned into a shadow and entered the cave.
Following the cave walls, after going down for a hundred meters, Lin Yun came to a large underground cave.
Looking around, a castle with a skeleton as the theme stood in the middle of this underground cave.
In this castle of skeletons, Lin Yun could feel the aura of at least ten thousand people.
Lin Yun immediately opened his palm and gathered the three different attributes of wind, fire, and thunder in his palm, forming a Wind Thunder Flame Bomb that emitted a bright blue light.
Lin Yun held the Wind Thunder Flame Bomb with one hand and threw it forward, throwing it directly at the location of the Skeleton Castle.
The Wind Thunder Flame Bomb landed in the middle of the castle. Then, it instantly turned into a bright ball of light and expanded, shattering the entire Skeleton Castle. Almost ten thousand people in the castle turned into ashes in an instant!
Rumble ~!
Accompanied by a low and loud roar, the entire underground space was covered by the explosion's shockwave. The layer of soil above was instantly shaken to the point of collapsing. Huge chunks of soil fell down, smashing the entire underground space beyond recognition.
When everything calmed down, Lin Yun stepped over countless broken bodies and arrived at the location where the Skeleton Castle was.
The huge Skeleton Castle that was like a small mountain had been completely razed to the ground. It was reduced to ruins that were billowing thick smoke.
Lin Yun stood in the middle of the ruins and radiated his perception. He scanned the ruins and very quickly discovered that there were still survivors at the bottom of the ruins.
Lin Yun immediately found the survivor and single-handedly lifted him up from the ruins.
"Don't … Don't kill me …" It was a follower dressed in red. His body had already been blasted into a bloody mess. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries, so his life was temporarily not in danger.
Lin Yun said to him in a cold tone, "I ask, you answer."
"You … What do you want to ask?" The survivor looked at Lin Yun with a face full of fear.
The attack that Lin Yun used to destroy the castle had already left an indelible mark in his heart.
"Where is your leader?" After entering this underground space, Lin Yun did not sense any particularly strong aura. Therefore, he had already determined that the leader of the Li Huo Sect was not here.
Not only the leader of the Li Huo Sect, but even the higher-ups of the Li Huo Sect were not here. The ones that were left here were the grassroots members.
"The leader has already gone to Snow Swallow Empire." The survivor answered truthfully.
"How long has he been gone?" Lin Yun continued to ask.
The survivor said with difficulty, "It's already … already been four hours."
Pa!
As soon as the survivor finished speaking, his head was directly crushed by Lin Yun. Large amounts of brain juice mixed with blood splattered everywhere.
