"Lu Ping, you go first."
At the end of the tunnel, a wooden door appeared. It seemed to be the exit. Morin, who was walking at the front, nimbly circled behind Lu Ping and pushed him to the front.
Lu Ping nodded and stepped forward, but after pushing and pulling the door that seemed to be the exit, he turned to Morin and asked, "How do we open it?"
"Hm?" Morin heard the sound and stepped forward. He felt it up and down, but didn't find any mechanism. He also didn't find any custom-made ability on the door.
"It might need to be opened from the outside." Fang Yizhu said.
"It seems so." Morin nodded.
"How do we do this?" Fang Yizhu asked Morin.
"Everyone step back." The one who answered was Lu Ping.
"It's a waste of talent." Morin said as he stepped back. Of course, he understood what Lu Ping wanted to do. It was just a wooden door. If he couldn't open it, then he would destroy it with violence.
"The door isn't scary. What we need to be careful of is outside." Fang Yizhu said.
"Understood." Lu Ping said.
The three of them stepped back. On Lu Ping's side, his soul power revolved. As he punched, he also rushed forward.
Bang!
A trifling wooden door couldn't withstand a single blow from Lu Ping's fist. Broken pieces of wood splashed everywhere. As the light shone into the tunnel, Lu Ping rushed out.
"Who is it?" A light voice came from above. The entrance to the Secret Path City was hidden in a well.
Lu Ping, who almost hit the wall of the well, hurriedly stretched out his foot and stepped on the wall. The wall of the well was a bit slippery, but Lu Ping's foot directly made a hole in the wall. Stepping on the pit, he pushed himself up and headed straight for the mouth of the well.
The Union of Assassins naturally had good protection for the entrance to the Secret Path. If they rushed out like this, they didn't need to think to know that they were enemies. However, they did not dare to cause too much of a commotion here and attract attention. After the two of them scolded Lu Ping in a low voice, they floated lightly toward the well's mouth and met Lu Ping, who had just come out.
Lu Ping had already sensed that someone was coming to stop him from outside the well. His fists struck out as he leaped up. The two who came to stop him didn't have time to think and reached out to receive it. The two of them, who didn't want to cause a commotion, had the same thought. They both wanted to neutralize this attack gently and quietly. However, they did not expect that the powerful Soul Force that surged from his fists would instantly trample on their gentleness.
Pa! Pa!
Two sounds. Lu Ping's fist and the two men's hands hit the two men's chests. Lu Ping did not slow down in the slightest as the two of them soared into the sky. They swayed a few times in the air, and by the time they landed on the ground, they were already half-dead.
Lu Ping had already leaped out from the mouth of the well. He continued to remain vigilant. He glanced around and used his hearing to sense the surroundings.
The courtyard was not big. There was a mud house in the north. It seemed to be an ordinary family. There was no sound of Soul Force inside or outside the house. He looked at the two people he had knocked down by the well. One was a man and one was a woman. They were dressed like ordinary people and looked like a couple. Or perhaps they really were a couple, living here to guard and cover for the entrance of the Secret Path.
"Come out." Lu Ping turned his head and shouted towards the well. Morin, Fang Yizhu, and Ling Ziyan climbed out of the well one after another. The two who had fallen by the well were still breathing. They looked at the three of them but could do nothing.
"Two green fruits, are they a couple?" Morin looked at the two of them and very professionally pointed out their ranks in the Union of Assassins. However, he could not confirm the latter question. Of course, he did not care.
"Throw them into the well," Fang Yizhu said.
"It doesn't matter." Morin said. "In the eyes of the Union of Assassins, we have long since been exposed. Fortunately, they are the Union of Assassins. They can't do anything to us openly."
"Then let's hurry up and leave." Fang Yizhu opened the courtyard door and looked around the alley outside. There was no one there.
The four of them walked out in a single file. Morin, who was the last to leave, very considerately closed the door behind him.
The two who had fallen by the well struggled with all their might. Finally, one of them placed his hand on the edge of the well. After forcefully pressing it, the mark of Soul Force on the edge of the well flashed.
A few minutes later, several figures arrived in the small courtyard. Some pushed open the door, some climbed over the wall, and some jumped off the roof.
One of them looked around, then immediately jumped into the well. The others inspected the two who had been heavily injured.
"What a heavy technique." One of them took a deep breath.
"What technique?"
"There is no technique, just a very powerful Soul Force."
The few of them took care of the two's injuries. A moment later, the one who had jumped into the well came back out, his expression frighteningly dark.
"They're all dead," he said as soon as he appeared.
"They're all dead?" The others had looks of disbelief on their faces.
"Yes, including Saw." This person knew why the others had such expressions on their faces. Saw was a nickname. He was one of the top experts in Jialing City, one of the four Bamboo Tips. He had reached the Four Connected Physical Realms realm, but he had been killed in a single strike in the tunnel.
Yes, killed in a single strike.
This person carefully examined him. Bamboo Tip Saw's death was essentially the same as that of the other Sparrow Tongues and Azure Fruits. Their opponent had attacked them, and they had been powerless to block it. What did this mean? It meant that their strength had been completely suppressed. What did it mean that they had been able to completely suppress someone who had reached the Four Connected Physical Realms?
"We might have touched someone we shouldn't have touched … …" this person said.
"Then what do we do?"
"We still have to report the situation. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves. I'll go for a bit. You guys clean up this place. Don't worry about the secret tunnel for now. "
"Yes." The others responded. After watching this person leave, they were still immersed in their shock. After a while, someone asked, "They're all dead?"
"They're all dead?"
Jialing City was close to the Xiong River. Naturally, there were many waterways in the city, and it had the style of a water town. From the north of the city, it went around the city for more than half a circle. At the south of the city, it once again flowed into the Xiong River. It was the longest and widest river. As for the name Fragrant River, it had to be named after the easternmost basin of the river.
Countless pleasure boats occupied the river surface of this basin. All kinds of cosmetics and fragrances filled the air. It seemed to be emitted from the river, and this was how Fragrant River got its name.
This was the famous brothel of Jialing City. One pleasure boat after another was actually one brothel after another.
Among the many pleasure boats, the Shallow Smoke House had a beautiful name, but it was just one of the many brothels. Li Xiang Jun of the Shallow Smoke House was also one of the many brothels that were not outstanding at all. But at this time, in her Fragrant Pavilion, her words "they're all dead" made the Sparrow Tongues standing in front of her, who had previously explored the tunnel and hurried over to deliver the news, look terrified.
The Assassin's Alliance was divided into Young Chick, Azure Fruit, Sparrow Tongues, and Bamboo Tip. This was Morin's understanding.
And these four grades were only the grades of assassins. Above these four grades, there was actually another grade. In each branch or branch, there would only be one. It was the head of the branch, and it was called "Fan Leader".
