Gu Qing Shan walked out from the small house.
"How is it? What kind of codename did he give you? "Crow asked with interest.
"Dragon King of Atrocity Jail" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow pondered this codename, then slowly said: "It sounds quite special, how much did he charge you?"
"50 void gold coins" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That much!?" Crow exclaimed in shock, "Seems like that advisor must've put in a lot of effort"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said nothing.
He had already taken out almost all of the money he had on him, leaving only a single silver coin.
Not good, after returning to the Guild, I need to quickly exchange my points for some money, otherwise, I won't even be able to afford to drink later on.
A maid appeared out of thin air and bowed to them: "Please follow me, I'll lead you out of the estate"
"Ah, thank you" the two of them said in unison.
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Gu Qing Shan felt like this maid was looking at her with an inexplicable smile in her eyes.
What are you smiling about?
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered.
The maid led the two of them outside.
Halfway there, another maidservant suddenly appeared.
This maid appeared a bit nervous and said: "We have guests, please follow me on the small path"
Gu Qing Shan and Crow nodded, then let the two maids lead the way.
The City Lord's estate was heavily guarded, the sky was filled with various magical barriers, as well as various defensive measures on the ground, so without a guide, they wouldn't dare to wander around carelessly.
As they were about to turn onto a small path on the side, a group of people appeared at the end of the path.
They were 7-8 men wearing yaksha masks.
Gu Qing Shan casually glanced at these wraiths.
— — so the so-called guests were them.
Why did they come to the City Lord's estate?
"You two, we'll go this way"
The maid hurriedly led Gu Qing Shan and Crow to the small path to avoid the guests.
Then they heard the sound of discussion from the other side.
"The people of the Hitman Guild …"
"A bunch of clowns, about to bow down to us"
"Underground rats, daring to come to the City Lord's estate …"
The people of the Wraith realm spoke without hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan was not an ordinary person. Her face was expressionless. She pretended that she did not hear anything and walked straight to the path.
— — this place was none other than Void City's City Lord's manor.
Everything that happened here, every word that was said, could possibly represent the true intentions of a certain force.
— — -but the people of the Wraith realm dared to openly provoke the Hitman Guild in the City Lord's manor!
They must have prepared something.
They must have been plotting something, planning to do something.
Perhaps they weren't targeting the Hitman Guild, but any organization of Void City that appeared in the City Lord's Mansion.
I and Crow only happened to run into this matter at the right time.
In a second, Gu Qing Shan made a decision.
He decided not to take the bait.
However, Crow suddenly turned around.
"A bunch of things that are neither human nor ghost, yet you dare to mock our Assassin Guild?" he sneered.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
— — Crow was a Titled Hitman, a top-tier combatant of the Hitman Guild.
With Crow's status, if he allowed others to insult the Guild and himself in front of him, he wouldn't be able to stay in Void City any longer.
The people of the Wraith realm immediately stopped.
Almost as soon as Crow spoke, they stopped in their tracks.
When Crow finished speaking, they had already surrounded him.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze moved around. Only to see that these people were gesturing with their eyes, apparently arranging something.
— — -sure enough, this was premeditated. But what are they trying to express by targeting the Hitman Guild?
Crow smirked, then told Gu Qing Shan in a low voice: "I've dragged you into this"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head, thinking quickly.
Both Crow and I haven't made any preparations for battle.
The other party must have some sort of plan.
If something were to happen, both Crow and I would end up very badly.
But this is the City Lord's manor, as soon as a conflict breaks out, guards would immediately arrive.
In other words — — -
If this conflict breaks out, the people of the Wraith realm are confident that they would be able to determine the victor in a very short amount of time.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze quickly scanned through the crowd.
In that split second, everyone around her was making various reactions — — -
The leader of the Wraith realm group was about to say something, the others around him were silently preparing something, the maids of the City Lord's manor appeared hesitant, Crow's hand had only just reached the hilt of his sword.
In that split second.
Gu Qing Shan moved.
Everyone felt their vision blur for a split second, then an autumn-water clear sword was already pressed against the wraith leader's neck.
The wraith leader's body gave off layers of 5-colored light, countless incantations and defensive techniques manifested, resounded, then faded away.
[Law Breaker].
There was no defensive technique that could block this sword!
Everyone froze.
This strike was too fast, so fast that no one could react in time.
This strike was able to pierce through all defensive techniques, it was completely unbelievable.
"Just now, you said … the Hitmen were a bunch of clowns?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The sword lightly swung.
A line of blood instantly appeared on the other party's neck.
Blood continuously flowed out.
"Release the Elder!"
"Despicable Hitman, you're done for"
"Put your sword away"
"Bastard, you want to die!"
Amidst the clamor, Gu Qing Shan thrust her sword forward.
The other party's wound immediately expanded.
More blood flowed out.
"If you keep yelling, I'll kill him right away" Gu Qing Shan casually said.
Everyone immediately went silent.
The two maids hurriedly went to inform the others.
Crow laughed out loud: "Ahahaha, a sword was already pressed against your neck before you even attacked, I'd like to see how arrogant you can be now"
He was actually a bit surprised.
As a Titled Hitman of the Guild, he couldn't avoid it.
Originally, when both sides met, they would at least exchange a few harsh words, talk about their grudges, and figure out what exactly went wrong that led to this conflict.
With the maids of the City Lord's manor on the side, the other party would have to consider the possibility of accidentally injuring them.
After all, if they hurt someone from the City Lord's manor, that would be the same as hurting the City Lord's face, which would be a huge problem.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't say a single word and attacked right away.
How do I describe this attitude?
— – a dog that bites doesn't bark?
While Crow was thinking that, his expression became a bit more cautious.
He slowly came back to his senses.
The Wraith realm people really wanted to cause trouble, and they were prepared.
Gu Qing Shan's unreasonable and direct method of attack was the correct way to go.
"All of you, shut up!"
The Wraith Elder suddenly spoke up.
He took off his mask and stared at the sword on his neck like he was looking at a rare treasure, then spoke with a dry voice: "The [Law Breaker] sword … this sword is … the only bane"
This wraith leader turned to Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a low voice: "Fiend, I have a deal that you can't refuse, and I want to make it with you"
"Ah?"
Gu Qing Shan replied, her killing intent surging.
At this point, the guards of the City Lord's manor had all arrived.
"All of you, stop!" a guard captain shouted.
Gu Qing Shan immediately put her sword away.
Seeing that the guards of the City Lord's manor had arrived, the Wraith realm people all turned to their leader.
The leader waved his hand, gesturing for them to stop.
The time had passed.
The people had no choice but to remain silent.
— — -the pre-arranged display of strength had ended just like that.
"Anyone else who tries will be killed on the spot!"
A Spell Caster dressed in a long robe descended from the sky and yelled.
"What exactly happened?"
He then turned to the two maids.
His position seemed to be quite high, as the two maids immediately knelt down as soon as they saw him and quickly explained what happened.
The caster looked at the Wraith realm people, then at the two Hitmen.
"If they didn't fight, then so be it"
"Hitmen, you can leave the manor now"
He said.
Crow laughed: "Wraith realm fellows, remember this well, the consequences won't be as simple as having a sword on your neck"
He then pulled Gu Qing Shan outside.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at those people, only to see that the wraith leader was staring straight at her, seemingly pondering something.
The [Law Breaker] sword.
You want my sword?
Gu Qing Shan coldly chuckled, then silently changed her Title to [Starflame War God].
As the guards saw the two Hitmen slowly walking away, just as they relaxed, the wraith leader abruptly moved.
He abruptly charged forward, abruptly ambushing one of the Hitmen from behind.
"You're not allowed to leave, leave your sword behind!" he shouted.
Gu Qing Shan had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The Earth sword appeared from the void of space and slashed — — -
Countless black sword images erupted from the sword like a blooming lotus, circling around the wraith leader to kill him.
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]!
Something strange happened.
The black sword images abruptly disappeared and instead enveloped Gu Qing Shan and Crow.
「 It's Causality Law! Gu Qing Shan, quickly dispel your sword seal! 」
The Earth sword suddenly sent its voice.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan immediately dispelled her sword seal and put the Earth sword back into her hand.
— — -so the enemy was relying on this Causality Law ability to reflect damage!
This is a Causality Law that I've never heard of before.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Crow, only to see that he also had a shocked expression on his face.
That's right.
The reason why the Wraith realm humans tried to attack me and Crow earlier was most likely because they had just grasped this Causality Law, so they wanted to step on the Hitman Guild in front of the City Lord's manor and spread their name.
The reason why I was able to injure him with my first strike was most likely due to the power of the [Law Breaker] sword.
No wonder this wraith leader said that this sword was their only bane.
Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have used [Slash] to completely erase him, I would have used the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to kill him instead!
Gu Qing Shan drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword again.
— — -but it was already too late.
The wraith leader's eyes regained clarity.
From the void of space, eight armored casters also appeared at the same time.
They all swung their chains and threw them towards the wraith leader.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan slowly loosened her grip on her sword.
