"Ever since that Hayashikawa returned to the Xiaoling Peak, we haven't seen him come out. Are we just going to keep watch here?"
In the dark woods, two men in black were hiding in the dark. One of them said with slight dissatisfaction.
"Even if he doesn't come out, we still have to keep watch. This is the Young Master's order!" The other man also felt helpless and replied softly. They had been keeping watch here for many days, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything.
Originally, they were hoping to get a handsome reward after killing Hayashikawa. However, after coming here, they found that there were too many flies than meat. Almost everywhere, there were people lying in ambush. They were either spies or assassins sent by the various Young Masters.
Therefore, they could only settle for the next best thing, which was to assassinate one or two people from the Xiaoling Peak, such as Chen Mo and Zhang Leyang.
In fact, these two people were not professional assassins. They were just subordinates sent by a core disciple who didn't like Hayashikawa. Their strength was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they could be considered as powerful cultivators.
In the darkness not far away, Hayashikawa quietly approached the two men, and Bai Yan heard their conversation clearly!
These two were not easy to deal with. God knows how many disciples of the Lin family they had assassinated for their master. Moreover, the two men's abilities complemented each other. One had a strong perception, and the other's attacks were swift and fierce. They cooperated very well, and many people in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage died in their hands.
Just when Hayashikawa was about ten meters away from the two men, he stopped. His right hand held the sword, and his left hand formed a seal with one hand.
"Wind Escape — Wind Body Flickering Technique!"
"Eh? The wind is blowing … "Before one of them could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized that the scenery in front of him was rapidly changing. The scene flipped, and he saw a headless body that was spurting blood slowly falling to the ground. Following that, his world fell into eternal darkness. Even when he died, he did not see the person who killed him.
Almost at the same time, a transparent sword pierced through another person's head, instantly killing him. The entire process was so smooth that that person couldn't figure out how the attacker escaped his senses and got so close to him.
After the two of them died, Hayashikawa quickly used his storage ring to collect their corpses. Next, he formed a hand seal to display the Wind Escape Art. The smell of blood in the air was swept up into the sky, leaving no traces behind.
After killing the two, Hayashikawa continued to move forward and headed for other targets. He spent almost the entire night killing. Those who were obviously assassins were eliminated by Hayashikawa one by one. As for those spies, Hayashikawa was too lazy to pay attention to them.
At dawn, Hayashikawa put away the beauty under the moonlight, and quietly returned to the Xiaoling Peak. Hayashikawa had already slaughtered all the assassins outside, so one could imagine what kind of storm would occur after dawn.
However, Lin Chuan knew that even if these people went missing, no one would say anything. Those people who sent people could only suffer in silence, unable to voice out their grievances!
Would they admit that they sent assassins to assassinate Hayashikawa? That's impossible!
After returning to the Xiaoling Peak, Hayashikawa went to find Bu Lian Shi and Qin Lang. After understanding the situation of the tournament, he knew that it would be a long time before his first match, so he once again returned to the immortal cave to practice.
But before that, Hayashikawa took out a lot of secret magic books from the tomb of beauty, and let Bu Lian Shi and Qin Lang choose a few suitable ones for them to practice.
In any case, these things are useless in the storage ring, so it's better to convert them into Akatsuki's fighting force.
On the day when the tournament of Lin family was about to start, in a town several hundred kilometers away from Yang 'an city, a youth wearing a black robe with red clouds was strolling. On his back was a rectangular object, and on his head was a bamboo hat unique to Akatsuki. Every time he took a step, the wind chimes tied to the bamboo hat would let out a crisp and melodious ringing sound.
"This strange robe can actually isolate my breath, it's really amazing. If I don't move, the cherry blossom fragrance on my body won't escape!" The youth whispered to himself.
This was the first time he entered a town after escaping from his pursuers.
This town was called Qingshan town, and the population was not large, probably only several tens of thousands of people. Most of them were mortals who didn't practice cultivation, and there were very few cultivators.
However, what surprised the youth was that since he stepped into this town, he found that several cultivators were looking at him with a horrified expression, and then they quickly walked away and soon disappeared into the crowd. It was as if they thought he was some kind of horrible plague and wanted to avoid him like the plague.
"What's going on? Could it be that my identity was exposed? "The youth frowned slightly, and a cherry blossom slowly rotated in each of his dark red pupils.
In a dark place of Qingshan town.
"Black robe with red clouds! It can't be wrong, that's Akatsuki's robe. In the whole Fire country, only Akatsuki's people wear this, quickly go and report to Song family! "Someone said in horror.
"Bells, bamboo hat, black robe with red clouds … it's really Akatsuki's people. How dare he walk on the street like this, doesn't he know that Song family is looking for him in the whole Fire country?" Several cultivators who were walking together saw the youth, and their faces suddenly changed. They quickly turned around and left, fearing that they would be targeted by that person if they were too late.
The battle of Beauty's Grave and the battle of Yang 'an city had just ended, and Akatsuki's name had spread throughout the whole Fire country, and even the South Ming continent. It could be said that they completely stepped on Song family of the Fire country's eight big families to get to their position.
Song family now hated Akatsuki to the bone, because Akatsuki not only killed so many people of Song family, but also shook Song family's foundation — Fire poison!
This made the whole Song family attach importance to Akatsuki to an unprecedented degree. Just by sending Nascent Soul stage cultivator Song Yingxing to chase after them, it could be seen how deep Song family's hatred for Akatsuki was.
Just when the youth was wondering about the reaction of the cultivators in the town, a middle Foundation Establishment stage middle-aged man cautiously walked up.
"I don't know which Akatsuki's assassin you are? What's your code name? If possible, our family wants to join hands with your Akatsuki to deal with Song family people! "After that person walked to the youth's side, he bowed and said.
"Akatsuki? You've got the wrong person! " The youth said coldly, and was ready to leave the town. He had already discovered the strangeness of the people here!
These days, he had been walking in the desolate forest, so he didn't know what was happening in the whole continent. The strange situation in front of him made him feel a kind of dangerous aura, and he wanted to leave here first to investigate what was going on.
"Wrong person? But aren't you wearing Akatsuki's robe? "The middle-aged man said with surprise and doubt.
