These guys in front of him all had some background in the Dragon Soul Hall, especially this Young Master Hong. His name was Hong Jiantao, and he had joined a Dragon Soul Hall organization called the Scorpion Dragon Society. He had a wide range of friends in the Dragon Soul Hall and was very popular.
His cultivation talent was not bad, and his cultivation was one level higher than Zhao Chong's, reaching the late stage of the True Energy Realm. However, his comprehension of the Deadly Hook Technique was average, and his Deadly Hook Technique was still at the initial stage. He was still unable to become a Seed Assassin.
Therefore, he disliked Zhao Chong, who was a lucky bastard, and often came to find trouble with Zhao Chong.
Of course, jealousy of Zhao Chong becoming a Seed Assassin was only part of the reason. The more important reason was because of a woman.
"Hong Jiantao! Are you bullying Zhao Chong again? Didn't I warn you not to target Zhao Chong in the future? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "
Suddenly, an angry woman's voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Hong Jiantao suddenly quivered and sobered up a little.
Lin Xuan looked up and his eyes lit up. He saw a beautiful and tall girl in black walking over quickly.
Although this young girl was wearing ordinary black clothes, it couldn't hide her exquisite and graceful figure. Her eyebrows were like smoke, her bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was as white as mutton fat jade. Under the contrast of her black clothes, it was so white that it was somewhat dazzling.
At first glance, she was like a white lotus blooming in the dark night, noble and elegant, untainted by dust.
It was hard to believe that such a fresh and refined temperament would appear on an assassin.
Even though she was angry at this moment, she was still attractive and stunning.
Lin Xuan was looking at her when he suddenly realized that the girl was walking towards him quickly. She tugged at his clothes and looked at him from head to toe. She asked with a face full of concern,
"Zhao Chong, are you okay? I heard that you accepted the mission to assassinate Leng Qingchi, and I was looking for you everywhere! "
Lin Xuan was suddenly approached by a strange girl and subconsciously wanted to retreat. However, he suddenly remembered that he was now Zhao Chong, and this girl obviously had a special relationship with Zhao Chong. He held back and smiled stiffly, "I'm fine."
The cold and elegant girl let out a huge sigh of relief and said with a sweet smile, "It's good that you're alright! Have you not gone on a mission yet? That's great. Hurry up and return it. That Leng Qingchi was just bestowed with a top-grade spirit treasure, the Suanni Claw, by the clan yesterday. You're no match for him.
It's all Hong Jiantao's fault. He bribed Old Li and didn't update the information in time. I've already scolded Old Li severely. "
Lin Xuan awkwardly listened to the woman's words while hurriedly thinking about Zhao Chong's memories in the crystal ball.
He gradually recalled that this girl's name was Shen Yueling. She was actually a True Element Realm Great Perfection expert, and also the strongest among the younger generation of this Dragon Soul Hall branch.
Shen Yueling was also the young master of the Blood Bat Palace, an assassin organization under the Dragon Soul Hall. Her background was also very powerful.
Appearance, talent, strength, background, everything was perfect. She was truly a proud daughter of heaven.
As a result, Shen Yueling became the goddess in the eyes of almost every young man in the Dragon Soul Hall.
Zhao Chong's battle strength was very weak, and he was often bullied by his peers. He also frequently made mistakes in his missions, but for some reason, Shen Yueling only looked at him differently. She would always jump out to protect him when he was bullied, like a big sister.
It was also because of this that Zhao Chong became a thorn in the side of many people. Many of the times he made mistakes in his missions, it was mostly because of insiders.
At this moment, in Lin Xuan's opinion, this girl was just overflowing with maternal instinct. Zhao Chong, who was a doormat, just happened to satisfy her excessive desire to protect.
"Hey! Zhao Chong, I'm talking to you. Are you listening? That Leng Qingchi is not someone you can deal with! "Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to be distracted, the girl couldn't help but remind him.
"Ahem, S-Sister Ling, actually I've already completed the mission. Leng Qingchi's head is now in my ring." Lin Xuan put himself in Zhao Chong's shoes and pretended to be relaxed with a smile.
"That's impossible!"
Hong Jiantao's face was full of disbelief. He ridiculed, "Hmph, Zhao Chong, who doesn't know your strength? You can actually kill an expert of the same level with a top grade spirit weapon? Unless the sun rises from the west. "
Shen Yueling's pretty face was angry, and she rebuked, "Shut up! Hong Jiantao, I haven't settled the score with you yet! Speak, why did you frame Zhao Chong? "
"I, I didn't frame him? What does it have to do with me that the information is not updated in time? I still have things to do, so I'll leave first! "
Hong Jiantao seemed to be very afraid of Shen Yueling. He stammered twice, and then quickly slipped away.
"Hmph! Hong Jiantao, be careful in the next test. This aunt will definitely teach you a lesson! "
Shen Yueling snorted at Hong Jiantao's back. Hong Jiantao was so scared that he couldn't help but tremble, and ran even faster.
When Hong Jiantao's group had run far away, Shen Yueling turned back. She frowned and earnestly advised, "Zhao Chong, listen to your sister. You'd better go back to the Sky Cleaving Pavilion and cancel the mission. You will soon become a Seed Killer, and after you fuse with the Dragon Claw Vine, your combat strength will rapidly increase. There is no need to play with your life now."
Lin Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly explained, "Sister Ling, I really have already killed Leng Qingchi. If you still don't believe me, then come with me to turn in the mission."
Shen Yueling looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously and snorted, "Alright, I'll go with you to turn in the mission. If you don't turn in the mission, then I'll deal with you."
Lin Xuan felt a headache coming on. He really had a big mouth. Wasn't he just picking up trouble for himself?
Fine, I'll just follow her.
The two of them walked side by side toward the Sky Cleaving Pavilion. Lin Xuan was not familiar with the environment, so he inevitably walked a little slower.
From Shen Yueling's perspective, Zhao Chong was clearly stalling for time. She couldn't help but believe that this guy was lying to her.
She didn't say anything. Instead, she snorted smugly. It was as if she was thinking about how to teach Zhao Chong a lesson when she exposed his lies.
After a few turns, a four-story pavilion appeared in front of the two of them. There was a stone tablet at the door with the words "Sky Cleaving Pavilion" carved on it.
Many black-clothed assassins were going in and out. Some of them were injured and stained with blood. It seemed like they had just returned from a mission.
Lin Xuan looked around as he walked in.
On the walls of the Heaven Cleaving Pavilion's main hall, there were many palm-sized signs hanging on them. On them were the names of people and some rough information. Some of the names were crossed with a red pen.
Lin Xuan knew that these signs were the targets of the Dragon Soul Hall's missions. Any dead target would be crossed.
If one wanted to accept a mission for a target, they would have to take down the sign and go to the counter to ask for more detailed information.
Lin Xuan glanced at the signs and inadvertently found his own name, Shen Jianchuan, and Wang Dakuan in a corner.
He couldn't help but laugh.
Until now, there probably wasn't any assassin who was willing to accept this mission.
Fish Dragon Town had been turned into an iron bucket by the River Sect. It was almost a forbidden area for assassins. Assassins from the Dragon Soul Hall could forget about coming back.
