"Wait, no matter how much the other party pays for my life, I will pay double," Søren said loudly.
"Double?" The assassin leader from the Netherworld Society said, "Can you guess how much it will cost to kill you?"
"Please speak clearly," Søren said.
"One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins," the assassin leader from the Netherworld Society said.
As soon as this price came out, even Søren was completely stunned.
One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins?
This was an astronomical figure. It was more than a year's worth of taxes from a province.
Was his life worth so much gold coins?
The assassin leader said, "It's hard to imagine, isn't it? For this deal, killing you is the easiest thing to do. The most difficult thing is that after killing you, the Netherworld Society will have to bear the wrath of the King of the Raging Wave Kingdom. That's why the sky-high price is so high. Originally, we didn't want to accept this deal, but a big shot stood out to vouch for us, so we accepted it. "
Søren said, "Then I will pay two hundred and sixty thousand gold coins to buy back my life."
The assassin leader said, "First of all, you don't have two hundred and sixty thousand gold coins. Secondly, after the Netherworld Society accepts the deal, we will never go back on our word, even if we pay double the price. We value integrity. "
Søren really couldn't take out two hundred and sixty thousand gold coins at once.
In fact, he wouldn't be able to take out this amount within two years. Moreover, it was hard for him to imagine how Zhi Li could take out one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins to hire the Netherworld Society.
The battle of Tianshui City had cost him more than a hundred thousand gold coins. Adding the sixty thousand gold coins needed to redeem the Turin Flower and the Guiqin Canal, he would probably have to pay for it.
Even if he was rich enough to rival a country, it would still be difficult for him to take out three hundred thousand gold coins at once.
Therefore, Fang Qingshu might also be the one who paid for this deal.
"According to the rules of the Netherworld Society, the victim can say his last words," the assassin leader said, "What are your last words? Who do you want to say them to? We can pass them on."
The leader of the assassins placed his sword across Søren's neck. It had already cut through Søren's skin, and blood was slowly flowing out.
Søren looked at one of the Dragon Archers and said, "Your Excellency Batu of the Heavenly Star Temple, even though you are wearing a mask, I can still recognize you. I didn't expect that a dignified Dragon Archer of the Dragon Temple would actually come to the Underworld Society to earn extra money."
Batu was the chief supervisor of the Royal City Academy's graduation exam. Later, because he participated in the suppression of Søren with Zhi Ning, he was punished by the Dragon Temple.
The reason Søren recognized her was because her arms were very long, completely different from ordinary people.
Batu took off his mask and revealed his real face. He said, "How have you been, Your Excellency Søren. It's true that after three years of separation, I should look at you in a different light."
"Are you sure you don't have any last words?" The assassin leader asked. "Then, prepare to die."
Suddenly, Søren tore off his clothes, revealing a mark on his chest.
"Your Excellency Batu, you should be able to recognize this mark on my chest, right?" Søren asked.
Søren circulated his Qi, blood, and Dragon Power. Suddenly, the mark on his chest became brighter and brighter. It was a dragon mark, shining with a mysterious and sacred brilliance.
Seeing this mark, Batu's expression changed drastically, and he said in shock, "This mark, where did you get it?"
Søren said, "Last time, Fang Qingshu framed me and had the punishers bring me to the Dragon Temple Inquisition, where I was interrogated for two days and two nights. In the end, when I woke up, I had this mark on my body. Fang Qingshu was confined for a few months, and the three mental strength masters who were in charge of interrogating me were all executed. "
The assassin leader's gaze turned cold. Even though he wasn't from the Dragon Temple, he still recognized this mark.
This was the Dragon Temple's highest protection mark. Once a Dragon mark appeared, the surrounding people from the Dragon Temple would definitely protect this person with their lives.
At this moment, Batu and the three dragon archers suddenly took a step forward.
It turned out that he wasn't the only one from the Dragon Temple's Heavenly Star Temple who came to take on outside jobs.
The assassin leader said, "Your Excellency Batu, this is the wilderness. Are you going to abide by the Dragon Temple's contract?"
Batu said, "The Dragon is omniscient and omnipresent."
The assassin leader said, "But you've already been expelled from the Heavenly Star Temple."
Batu said, "I entered the Dragon Temple to study since I was five years old. I'm a member of the temple when I'm alive, and a ghost of the temple when I'm dead. "
The assassin leader frowned and said, "Are you going to fall out with me and kill me for Søren?"
Batu said, "No, but I can't watch you kill Søren without doing anything. This will go against the iron rules of the Dragon Temple. Therefore, we can escort His Excellency Søren to the employer's place. Then, we'll take the money and leave. Everything has nothing to do with us. "
The assassin leader said, "You're really hypocritical."
Batu said, "I can't go against the iron rules of the Dragon Temple."
The assassin leader immediately fell into deep thought. If he immediately fell out with them and killed Batu and the other two archers, of course, he could do it.
However, Batu and the other two archers were, after all, great practitioners of the Dragon Temple, even though the Heavenly Star Temple was a non-mainstream organization in the Dragon Temple. The Netherworld Society feared no one, but the Dragon Temple was an exception.
"Once we hand Søren over to the employer, can he kill Søren?" The assassin leader said.
"Of course." Batu said, "That's a feud between mortals, and the Dragon Temple won't interfere. In that case, His Excellency Søren will probably die a more miserable death. The employer's hatred for His Excellency Søren is unparalleled. "
"If that's the case, hand him over to the employer and let him kill him himself." The assassin leader said, "However, in this case, the price will be reduced by thirty thousand. The three of you won't be paid a single cent, and the Netherworld Society will no longer welcome you in the future. "
Batu said, "There's nothing we can do."
Then, Søren was thrown into a black prison cart. All the veins in his body were locked, and he couldn't move at all. He couldn't even make a sound.
Next, the assassin leader took out a bottle of liquid and poured it on Gao Ningshi and the dozens of inner court experts. Soon, these corpses gradually turned into pus.
"Let's go!" The thirteen assassins of the Netherworld Society pushed Søren's black prison cart toward the northwest.
…
The path taken by the thirteen assassins of the Netherworld Society was very secretive, and it was even more desolate and uninhabited.
After traveling for three hundred miles, the thirteen assassins had all changed their clothes, and they looked no different from ordinary people.
Søren stayed in the carriage, and the Eros slowly attacked the sealed veins in his body.
However, the martial arts of the person who locked his veins were too high. After a few hours, the Eros still couldn't break through his veins.
Moreover, he was in the black carriage, and he didn't know where the assassins of the Netherworld Society were taking him. He only knew that they weren't going to the royal city of Fengdu, but to the northwest.
The further they went to the west, the more people they saw. On the way, they met several groups of people.
However, these thirteen assassins were dressed like ordinary people, and they didn't look special.
The veins in Søren's body still hadn't been broken through, and he still couldn't call for help. However, even if he did, it would be useless, because these were thirteen Dragon Warriors.
Who in the world could defeat them?
Just like that, another few hours passed. The thirteen assassins of the Netherworld Society had pushed Søren for three hundred miles.
At this moment, Søren's veins were finally broken through. However, there was a serious problem. His whole body was tied up by an indescribable rope. Even with his cultivation of a mid-level warrior, he couldn't break free. Moreover, his mouth was tightly bound.
Therefore, even though his veins were broken through, he still couldn't move, and he couldn't call for help.
It was at this moment …
Suddenly, Søren felt that the air seemed to be a little chilly.
Then, a charming and familiar fragrance entered his nostrils.
This fragrance was mysterious and distant. After smelling it once, it was almost unforgettable.
It was Ashita Liren. He didn't expect to meet her here.
Obviously, the thirteen assassins of the Netherworld Society had also sensed her presence, and they all stopped as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Then, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and it was neither fast nor slow.
Through the gap in the carriage, Søren saw an outstanding beauty, like a fairy. It was Ashita Liren.
She was riding on a white horse, and she was alone on the road.
Søren couldn't call for help, so he could only concentrate his mental energy and shoot it in the direction of Ashita Liren. "Help!"
This kind of long-distance mental energy projection was very weak.
However, Ashita Liren's mental energy cultivation was too strong, and she easily sensed Søren's mental summons. She immediately looked into the carriage, and then stopped.
The leader of the assassins said with a serious expression, "The Netherworld Society is handling matters. Please leave, and don't meddle in other people's business."
Ashita Liren stepped forward and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …" Immediately, the eleven assassins of the Netherworld Society, who were Dragon Warriors and above, all drew their weapons and surrounded Ashita Liren.
It was Ashita Liren who glanced at Søren in the carriage. Although Søren was tied up like a dumpling, Ashita Liren still recognized him.
However, it took her a while to recognize him.
She had vaguely seen this person in Yao Meng's manor, and because Jiang Xue had gifted him a sword, Ashita Liren had spared his life.
"Where's your sword?" Ashita Liren asked.
She was asking about the Golden Dragon Sword that Jiang Xue had gifted him.
"At home." Søren couldn't say it out loud, so he could only use his mental energy to communicate.
However, Ashita Liren easily captured his mental energy message.
Then …
She put down the curtain of the carriage, continued riding, and left at a moderate pace.
That's right, she left just like that, without any intention of saving him.
Søren suddenly felt like crying. In Ashita Liren's eyes, he was really no different from a cat or dog. She had already shown him the greatest kindness by sparing his life in the Warlock Manor.
Søren had overestimated his charm if he wanted her to save him.
Seeing that Ashita Liren had left, the thirteen assassins let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, they sped up and soon left Ashita Liren behind.
After galloping for more than ten miles, the leader of the assassins stepped forward and slapped the back of Søren's neck, knocking him out so that he wouldn't have any more tricks up his sleeve.
Then, the thirteen assassins continued forward.
There seemed to be a village in front of them, and the number of people was increasing.
The thirteen assassins tried their best to bypass the village, avoiding places with many people. This was a small road in the fields, and the roadside was filled with wheat that had just been planted.
Because the road was too narrow, the thirteen assassins directly rode on the wheat field.
Immediately, all the farmers in the wheat field knelt on the side, trembling, and did not dare to stop them.
The thirteen assassins stepped on the tender wheat sprouts and galloped forward as if there was no one else around.
"You can't step on our wheat, or we won't have any food to eat." Suddenly, a delicate child's voice sounded.
It was a little girl about six or seven years old. At this moment, she was helping to pull out the weeds in the wheat field with her parents. At this moment, seeing the thirteen assassins trampling on the wheat sprouts, the adults were intimidated by their aura and did not dare to say anything. The child was fearless and directly shouted.
This little girl's face was covered in mud, and her body was thin and frail. Her eyes were big and bright, and shone with a stubborn light.
Hearing her berate the thirteen assassins, the parents beside her were shocked. They hurriedly covered her mouth and forced her to kneel.
"Sir, please forgive us. Please forgive us." The little girl's parents knelt on the wheat field and continuously kowtowed.
"I won't kneel. It's clearly their fault. They are bad people." The little girl stubbornly said.
The leader of the assassins stopped and rode in front of the family of three. He looked down at the little girl with a condescending expression.
"Let me tell you something. Being weak is an original sin." The leader of the assassins said coldly.
"Whoosh, whoosh …" The leader of the assassins killed the little girl's parents with two lightning-fast strikes.
Then, he placed the sharp sword on the little girl's neck and said, "You are quite talented. Kneel down and worship me as your master. Otherwise, you will die like your parents."
The little girl was completely stunned. She could not even accept the reality that her parents were killed.
She gritted her teeth and fought back her tears. She stared at the leader of the assassins with wide eyes.
She had no idea why the other party would kill her parents just like that.
Even though she was trembling and had even wet her pants, she still stood there without moving.
"If you are unwilling, then die." The leader of the assassins said and then swung his sword to cut off the little girl's head.
At this moment, Eros attacked Søren's brain and woke him up. He saw this scene.
Immediately, he shouted with all his Spiritual Energy, "Don't."
Then, he gathered all his Spiritual Energy and fiercely rushed towards the leader of the assassins' head.
Instantly, the leader of the assassins trembled slightly. He walked towards Søren in confusion and then gently cut with the sharp sword in his hand.
The little girl's delicate neck was directly cut open. Blood gushed out.
However, just as he was about to cut the little girl's neck …
Suddenly, the air suddenly turned cold. A blue demoness attacked like lightning.
The leader of the assassins was shocked. The sharp sword in his hand slashed towards the hidden weapon.
"Bang …" The icy blue beauty's hidden weapon fiercely collided with his sword.
In an instant, the sharp sword and the whole arm of the leader of the assassins were completely frozen.
At the same time, a peerlessly beautiful figure appeared in an instant.
"Swoosh …" Like a sword from the Ninth Heaven, transparent as water, it directly cut the powerful leader of the Dark Society in half.
The wound that was slashed was smooth and frozen blue. Not even a drop of blood flowed out.
The person who came was, of course, Ashita Liren.
She could leave Soran in the lurch, but she couldn't leave an innocent and lovely little girl in the lurch.
She gently hugged the little girl. Her jade-like hand brushed the wound on the little girl's neck and instantly froze the bleeding.
Then, she held the sword in one hand and covered the little girl's eyes with the other.
"You are worse than a beast to kill innocent people. You deserve to die for attacking an innocent child," Ashita Liren said coldly.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …" The other two Dragon Swordsmen quickly reacted and attacked Ashita Liren from both sides.
The remaining eight Dragon Shooters quickly retreated and shot a series of arrows at her.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
The eight Dragon Shooters shot more than a hundred sharp arrows at almost the same time. Each arrow was as fast as lightning and hit its target. Each arrow was highly poisonous. Anyone who touched it would die.
Ashita Liren slashed with the sharp sword in her hand.
In an instant, the fan-shaped air in front of her froze. All the arrows that were shot at her were frozen in the air.
The sharp sword trembled slightly.
In an instant, all the arrows were broken into pieces.
Seeing this scene, all the assassins of the Dark Society were completely stunned.
The two Dragon Swordsmen immediately changed their minds and stabbed the little girl in her arms with their sharp swords.
"Despicable!"
Ashina Liren's beautiful eyes stared at one of the Dragon Swordsman assassins. A powerful Mental Energy burst forth and immediately fixed the assassin on the spot, making him motionless.
This was a Mind Energy attack. It could freeze a person within a dozen meters.
Then, without looking, she swung the sharp sword in her hand at the other Dragon Swordsman.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The two swords collided quickly.
In an instant, the sword in the assassin's hand was completely shattered. Then, his arm was shattered. Finally, his entire body was crushed from head to toe.
There was no blood or horrifying internal organs. His entire body was crushed like sand and frozen into ice. Not even a drop of blood could be seen. The ice covered the ground.
Then, still holding the little girl in her arms, Ashita Liren walked to the Dragon Swordsman who had been frozen by her and patted his head lightly with the blade of her sword.
In an instant, the assassin's entire body exploded into pieces.
By now, the three Dragon Swordsmen had all been killed. There were only eight Dragon Shooters left.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …" The eight Dragon Shooters continued to shoot arrows at lightning speed.
This time, Ashita Liren did not even try to block the arrows. Instead, she faced the rain of arrows and approached the eight Dragon Shooters.
There seemed to be an ice barrier in front of her. When the arrows were less than three feet away from her, they bent and fell as if they had hit something terrifying.
With a light tap of her foot, her body flashed and appeared in front of the eight Dragon Shooters in an instant.
"Miss, we are from the Dark Society. If you do this, you will become the enemy of the entire Dark Society," one of the Dragon Shooters said coldly.
"I am Ashita Liren. People call me the Blue Enchantress," Ashita Liren said coldly.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
Once the Dragon Shooters were approached, they could not fight back at all.
In an instant, the eight Dragon Shooters were killed by Ashita Liren, including Batu and the other two from the Heavenly Star Temple.
Thirteen experts, who were stronger than the Dragon Warriors, were killed by Ashita Liren in a matter of minutes.
This power was not only shocking, but it was also shocking to the soul.
This power was suffocating.
After killing everyone, Ashita Liren still did not pay attention to Søren. She did not even look at him.
Instead, she squatted down and caressed the little girl's face. She kissed her muddy cheek and said, "Little girl, come home with me, okay?"
This kiss made Søren's heart tremble. It was as if he had seen the most beautiful scene in the world.
The little girl could not help but look at her parents in the wheat field.
"After we bury Daddy and Mommy, we will go home with you," Ashita Liren said.
Then, she and the little girl dug a hole in the corner of the wheat field and buried the little girl's parents.
After that, she held the little girl's little hand and walked west.
This was because her horse had been shot to death, and she did not want to ride other people's horses.
She still did not look at Søren, who was in the carriage.
Søren could only watch her beautiful back as she gradually disappeared into the distance.
However, at this moment, the name Ashita Liren was deeply engraved in his mind.
This was a peerless beauty who was powerful to the extreme and cold to the extreme. She was vicious and kind at the same time.
Facing the setting sun, just as Soran was about to watch her figure disappear into the distance, a voice suddenly rang out.
Suddenly …
In the setting sun, Ashita Liren stopped in her tracks. Then, her beautiful body trembled slightly and she fell to the ground, unconscious.
Ah Shi Li collapsed just like that, unconscious. There were no signs at all, no reason at all.
The little girl immediately burst into tears. She pulled Ashita Liren's hand and shouted, "Aunt, aunt, wake up!"
