Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 171 Crimson Sky

The ghost escaped severely injured and its whereabouts are unknown.

However, the Shadow Organization still exists. Rumors in the Xuanwu Kingdom say that the new leader of the Shadow Organization is Qingfeng, but some say it is the former chief Shadow Assassin, Qi.

There are different opinions.

However, no one dared to investigate the truth of the matter.

……

The headquarters of the assassin organization.

In the darkness, on the imposing throne, Qingfeng calmly surveyed the scene before him, wearing a half-mask.

"Greetings, Chief..."

"Greetings, Chief!"

Six figures knelt before him, their attitude respectful.

Aside from Manjusaka and Shimen, who were rescued, and Baihu, who was released, the remaining three are all newly joined Shadow Assassins.

One of the figures, with red hair, was rather distinctive. His muscles were bulging all over his body, and his figure looked even heavier than the stone gate, yet he exuded an invisible sense of oppression.

With his head down, his face was obscured, but judging from his silhouette, he appeared to be a middle-aged man with a full beard.

The other two, one of whom wore a long blue robe, had no weapon, and had long, flowing hair; he even had a somewhat refined air about him.

The last person was quite imposing, wearing a mask and completely covered up, even his hands were made of special gold.

One of the current Shadow Assassins, Golden Claw Dragon King...

He participated in the No Man's Land mission with Qinglong and Qilin back then, is skilled in bone shrinking techniques, and is suspected to be a traitor to the Iron Fist Sect.

After that mission, he hid for many years and, through years of secluded training, greatly improved his strength.

The first thing Qingfeng did after taking over the Shadow Organization was to recruit Shadow Assassins again. This was not difficult, as Xuanwu Kingdom had never lacked experts.

There is no shortage of ambitious experts.

"Issue the highest bounty: I want the head of the Ghost."

This is the first mission issued by Qingfeng after becoming the leader of the assassins.

Manjusaka and Shimen tensed up. As former subordinates of Youhun, they had done a lot to Qingfeng. Now that Qingfeng had taken over, the first thing he did was to settle scores!

Will they be implicated?

"Yes!"

The Golden Claw Dragon King spoke in a low voice.

The white fox also spoke with a smile, "Yes, sir..."

"As ordered."

Although Manjusaka and Shimen were somewhat uneasy, they had no choice but to obey since things had come to this point.

Having been shadow assassins for so long, they knew all too well what it meant to disobey their leader's orders, and Qingfeng naturally knew how to maintain her authority.

But at that moment, neither of them reacted.

One of them stood up and looked at Qingfeng with a smile.

It was that figure in the blue robe, who looked like a young man. "Leader, there's something I'm curious about."

She glanced at him, but Qingfeng remained expressionless. "Speak."

After such a drastic change, the assassin organization definitely needs to be reorganized again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position.

boom!

Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the burly figure kneeling on the ground.

Qingfeng's gaze sharpened, and the others looked at that person with some apprehension.

A crimson aura gradually dissipated, and terrifying true energy emanated from the body. The figure in the green robe raised a hand and pointed, "Behave yourself."

The burly figure actually calmed down, the crimson aura around him gradually dissipated, and he remained kneeling to the side.

Qingfeng seemed to have figured something out and looked at the figure in green. "You are a traitor to the White Lotus Sect, Chixiao."

"It's him...!?"

Upon hearing this, Manjusaka and Shimen became even more wary and increased their vigilance.

Everyone in Xuanwu Kingdom knows that the White Lotus Sect was re-established by a group of Heavenly Lotus disciples after the decline of the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Although not among the six major sects, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and these were once the elite disciples of the Tianlian Sect.

But it eventually declined.

Over the years, people have frequently approached the White Lotus Sect, wanting to obtain the Heavenly Lotus Sect's secret techniques.

But the disciples of the White Lotus Sect knew that it was indeed true.

However, it was merely a forbidden technique called "Lotus Blossom" mastered by Fei Lian, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect Leader passed away suddenly the day before yesterday, leaving behind very little of the Heavenly Lotus Sect's legacy, because she was well aware of the consequences of doing so.

Without his presence, the disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect would be unable to protect those secret manuals and would only invite undeserved disaster.

Therefore, the White Lotus Sect has not had a good time in recent years. Disciples have been injured when they go out, and there is almost no hope of it becoming one of the six major sects again.

However, not long ago, Jiang Huilian, the former chief disciple of the Tianlian Sect, returned and, with her absolute strength and the legacy of the former Tianlian Sect leader, took charge of the White Lotus Sect, causing a stir in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Jiang Huilian naturally became the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

But at the same time, a major event also occurred: Qingfeng, the former elder of the White Lotus Sect, was one of the three disciples accepted by the former sect leader before his death.

Because he was dissatisfied with Jiang Huilian's sudden return after disappearing for many years and becoming the sect leader, he angrily betrayed the White Lotus Sect!

However, another version of the rumor has also emerged.

After Qingfeng betrayed the White Lotus Sect and changed his name to Chixiao, he was suspected of being exposed by Jiang Huilian, the current leader of the White Lotus Sect, for using the Blood Demon Technique and the martial arts of the Heavenly Lotus Sect to raise "blood servants," and was thus expelled from the White Lotus Sect...

There are many conflicting accounts of the two versions, but it is a fact that Qingfeng changed his name to Chixiao and betrayed the White Lotus Sect.

"Ha ha……"

Chi Xiao did not deny it, but looked at Qing Feng and said, "May I ask, did the leader kill the previous leader to take this position?"

"not at all."

Qingfeng frankly admitted that he understood Chixiao's meaning.

It should be said that this situation was inevitable. In the end, his foundation was too shallow, and unlike Ghost, he did not directly seize the opportunity when the Shadow Organization was undergoing a complete overhaul and took advantage of the situation.

It's normal for some people to disagree.

"If I kill the leader now, wouldn't I be able to take that position too?"

He grinned, his once handsome face now appearing somewhat ferocious as he stared at Qingfeng.

"presumptuous!"

The Golden Claw Dragon King roared angrily, circulating his true energy. His terrifying aura was no weaker than that of the burly figure kneeling to the side earlier!

Qingfeng remained calm. "Dragon King."

"call……"

The Golden Claw Dragon King calmed his breathing slightly, still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.

The other three remained silent, observing the situation and Qingfeng's reaction in secret.

Qingfeng then looked at Chixiao, slowly stood up, her long robe slipping down her back, and picked up a sword beside her, saying, "I'll give you a chance. Kill me, and this position will be yours. Make your move."

"Hey! I'll accept your offer!"

Chi Xiao was also secretly observing the reactions of the other shadow assassins.

Seeing that none of the three stepped forward, the only Golden Claw Dragon King was not to be feared, as his "blood servant" was also here.

As he predicted, the Shadow Organization changed its leader, and Qingfeng didn't even have the Shadow Messenger he should have had. This was his best opportunity!

boom!

With a sudden sinking of his feet, Chi Xiao leaped forward.

The blue lotus true energy on his body erupted.

A few feet away, he suddenly struck out with his palm, his true energy transforming into a powerful impact, his skill profound and formidable.

One of the ultimate techniques of the Heavenly Lotus Sect: White Lotus Divine Palm!

The martial arts of the Tianlian Sect are not as domineering as those of the Tianlong Gang, nor do they have as many exquisite and superior martial arts techniques, but they have the advantage of profound internal strength, which is accumulated and then released.

This skill alone has already reached the top level.

Combined with the White Lotus Divine Palm, which has been mastered to perfection, even a top-tier expert would not be able to easily withstand this move!

"As expected of the Heavenly Lotus Sect..."

Qingfeng was also somewhat surprised, but that was all. She slowly gripped the hilt of her sword with her right hand.

Zheng!

The sword was drawn and thrust out.

It flowed smoothly like clouds and water, without any ripples, yet it was shocking!

laugh……

The terrifying White Lotus Divine Palm deflated like a punctured balloon, dissipating in a gust of wind, and a figure fell from the sky to the ground.

The three women, including Manjusaka, trembled and lowered their heads.

Sheathing his sword and returning to his seat, Qingfeng calmly asked, "Do I need to repeat the order after disposing of the body?"

Dead silence...
