Nie Tian noticed that there was something wrong with Wanqi Rong's expression, which made him suspicious of Diao Zhengde's identity.
Previously, Nie Tian already had his suspicions about Diao Zhengde. As a red-robed elder of the Alchemist Association, it was very strange that he could find someone from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
Now, it was confirmed that Chaos City was the lair of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion and the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion was the City Lord of Chaos City.
Wanqi Rong's attitude towards Diao Zhengde made Nie Tian think that Diao Zhengde could be someone from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
Since Hu Xiao Li, the Great Chu Imperial Tutor, could be someone from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, then it wasn't strange that Diao Zhengde was from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
The Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion was indeed the number one assassin organisation in the three thousand small worlds. They even had people from the Alchemist Association.
"Duanmu Lu, bring Ye Lao and leave first!" Nie Tian gripped Diao Zhengde's neck tightly. If anyone else made any strange moves, he would definitely make a move without the slightest hesitation.
"Teacher, we'll leave first." Duanmu Lu replied and carried Ye Lao on his back. Without hesitation, he left.
The others could only watch helplessly as they left.
Diao Zhengde's countenance was ghastly pale while his eyes were filled with dense terror. At this moment, he was actually not looking at Wu Mang but at Wanqi Rong. This undoubtedly showed that in his opinion, the person who could save him was Wanqi Rong and not Wu Mang.
This detail was captured by Nie Tian and confirmed the guess in his heart.
Nie Tian's guess was right. Diao Zhengde was indeed someone from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion!
"Nie Tian, you better not kill him." Wanqi Rong frowned slightly. If it wasn't for Diao Zhengde's special significance to the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, she wouldn't care about his life or death.
The reason why Diao Zhengde could become an elder of the Alchemist Association was because of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion's scheme.
Back then, a red-robed elder of the Alchemist Association was killed by an assassin from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion for no reason. It was to create an opportunity for Diao Zhengde to rise.
If Diao Zhengde did not become a red-robed elder that year, then the red-robed elders of the Alchemist Guild would continue to die, until Diao Zhengde became a red-robed elder.
In fact, there were quite a number of alchemists in the Alchemist Guild who were from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion. They were all Diao Zhengde's subordinates.
Although Diao Zhengde's strength wasn't high, he was a 100% Sixth Tier Alchemist. Hence, he was a purple-gold rank assassin in the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, second only to diamond rank assassins and black emperor rank assassins.
The Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion was an extremely secretive assassin organization. An assassin would only know his superiors and subordinates.
Take Diao Zhengde for example, he only knew Wanqi Rong, he didn't know the Pavilion Master, he only knew the one below him, he didn't know the one below him.
Of course, there were also exceptions, such as Hu Xiao Li, who was also a member of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion. She was only a Gold-ranked assassin, one level lower than Diao Zhengde, but she knew about Wanqi Rong and the Pavilion Master, because she was an assassin personally trained by the Pavilion Master.
Diao Zhengde was a big chess piece that the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion planted in the Alchemist Guild. If he died, it would be a big blow to the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
"You better not chase after me." Nie Tian sneered. Seeing that Duanmu Lu and the rest had already walked far away, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, "Now, everyone retreat a hundred meters away."
"My, my Lord, save me!" At this moment, Diao Zhengde couldn't hold it in anymore and finally asked Wanqi Rong for help.
"Hmph! The fox's tail has been exposed. You, a red-clothed elder, are also a member of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion! " Nie Tian thought coldly, his eyes flashed with killing intent as he roared, "Wanqi Rong, retreat! If you don't retreat, I'll turn him into a corpse! "
Wanqi Rong frowned, suppressing the anger in her heart. After pondering for a moment, she decided to retreat and said coldly, "Nie Tian, the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion is not someone you can offend. If you dare to kill him, the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
At this time, Wanqi Rong no longer had any scruples and directly revealed her identity.
"City Lord Wan, don't you think this kind of threat is very childish?" Nie Tian sneered as he retreated.
Did the other party treat him as a three-year-old child? Even if Nie Tian let Diao Zhengde go, the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion would chase him to the ends of the earth.
The death order had been issued, as long as Nie Tian was alive, the assassination mission would never stop.
Seeing Wanqi Rong retreating, the others also retreated.
Mo Feng, Qiu Wuheng and the rest were puzzled and shocked. Wanqi Rong took the initiative to admit that she was a member of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, and in front of the four great families and the Alchemist Guild. Wasn't this equivalent to exposing that Chaos City was the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion?
Until now, Mo Feng and Qiu Wuheng still hadn't realized that Diao Zhengde was also a member of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
In fact, they didn't dare to think so. The Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion and the Alchemist Guild were two extremely opposing organizations. The difference between a red-clothed elder and an assassin was too great, how could they be equated?
Wanqi Rong and the rest quickly retreated a hundred meters away. Nie Tian's figure flashed, retreating dozens of meters. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, his face flashed with ice-cold killing intent.
"You, what do you want? I'm a red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Guild, and I'm also a purple-gold rank assassin from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion. You, you can't kill me! " Diao Zhengde felt the bone-chilling killing intent and was so scared that his voice trembled. He turned back to look at Nie Tian, but what he saw was an extremely cold face.
"Diao Zhengde, you didn't expect this moment, right?" The ice-cold laughter was mixed with resolute killing intent. Nie Tian suddenly exerted force and directly lifted Diao Zhengde into the air.
He didn't care about Wanqi Rong's threat at all. In any case, the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion wouldn't let him go, so he would kill Diao Zhengde first.
"Nie Tian, quickly stop!" Wanqi Rong saw this scene and shouted, her figure explosively shot out.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Diao Zhengde, I'll return it to you!" Nie Tian exerted force, and with a crack, Diao Zhengde's neck was directly broken. He lost all signs of life, and was then thrown away by Nie Tian like a dead dog.
Wanqi Rong reached out to catch Diao Zhengde, but it was a corpse that was rapidly turning cold and stiff.
She suddenly thought of something and nervously flipped through Diao Zhengde's corpse, but she didn't find anything. She cursed in a deep voice, "Nie Tian, you're despicable!"
However, Nie Tian's figure had long disappeared. In just an instant, his aura was completely gone.
Everyone only reacted at this moment and walked over one after another.
"Master Diao!" Wu Mang looked at Diao Zhengde's corpse and wailed. He couldn't protect the red-clothed elder well. Even if he could return alive, he would definitely receive the most severe punishment from the Dan Martial Hall.
"He, he really killed him!" Qiu Wuhen walked over and still couldn't believe that Nie Tian really dared to kill the red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Association in public. This was too crazy.
The Alchemist Association was a force that wasn't the slightest bit weaker than the four great clans. A dignified red-clothed elder died just like that. It was truly a bit ridiculous.
"Nie Tian, this kid is too crazy!" Mo Feng also had a face of disbelief.
Killing a red-clothed elder, such a thing, even the four great clans' inner court elders or Clan Heads wouldn't dare to do it.
