Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 170 Reunion with the Imperial Seal

"Have you heard? The leader of the Shadow Assassins organization is seriously injured and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

"Mmm, that's terrifying!"

"I heard that the one who made the move was the Shadow Assassin Qingfeng, and also the Chief Shadow Assassin Qi from two years ago..."

"Hiss! Is the Shadow Organization in turmoil?"

……

The ghost did not die. After realizing Wu Liuqi's strength and discovering the intervention of the Kingdom of Ster, it chose to flee the scene.

Wu Liuqi and Qingfeng were also taken away by Long Ming.

Xuanwu Kingdom, Longmen Inn.

"Hiss Liu..."

This is where most martial artists in the Xuanwu Kingdom exchange information; it's never short of business, but the food is very simple.

Only noodles and rice noodles are available.

With such a huge customer flow, what you sell is no longer important. As long as the quantity is large enough to fill you up and the prices are affordable, you'll make a profit no matter what.

The constant stream of diners made the place somewhat noisy.

The venue was basically packed.

In the corner, a table stood out desertedly, with only one person sitting there.

There was another figure standing beside him, wearing a mask.

"Sit down and have something to eat. I've ordered for you."

"Qinglong would never do something so rude."

"Ah……"

The figure eating noodles chuckled softly, but there was a hint of sadness in the smile.

"Ok?"

Just then, a figure walked to the opposite seat and sat down. The masked figure's gaze darkened. "Insolence!"

boom!

The terrifying aura even drew the attention of others around them, and for a moment the entire inn fell silent.

Qin Ming waved his hand, gesturing to the waiter who had just brought out several bowls of noodles from the kitchen, "One bowl of noodles, with extra cilantro, please."

"Okay, okay...please wait a moment."

The atmosphere around them gradually returned to what it was before.

Qin Ming, however, wore a somewhat strange smile as he looked at the person sitting opposite him. "This is?"

“…Sigh.” Somewhat absent-minded and no longer in the mood to eat, Fei Xi said to the figure beside her, “Sit down and take off your mask.”

"Yes."

Her cold, hard voice remained meticulous, but once the mask was removed, it revealed a mature woman's face.

His eyes resembled two copper coins. He was the second former Shadow Assassin, from the Ying family of Xuanwu Kingdom, and won a great victory.

Rumor has it that he is the young master of the Ying family, who runs the largest bank in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom.

It sounds like in such a martial and fierce country, having money is nothing special.

On the contrary, in a place where street brawls happen every few days, how could it be that an ordinary family could simply maintain such a vast and incredibly wealthy fortune?

Even a child could figure that out.

The three major figures of Xuanwu Kingdom in the public eye.

The Tianlong Gang is renowned throughout the world for its martial arts and its massive membership.

The Shadow Organization is feared for its danger, assassination, efficiency, ruthless and mysterious style.

Dan Pavilion is known for its medical expertise and has the best reputation, yet no one dares to provoke it.

But this is only what's on the surface.

Aside from the three families, and excluding the royal family, the Ying family could even be considered the fourth major power hidden in the shadows!

Even the royal family has intricate connections with the Ying family.

They can control the lifeline of the entire Xuanwu Kingdom without anyone noticing, and their terrifying power is even greater than that of the three giants!

Ying Dasheng's real name is Ying Dasheng. It is said that he began practicing martial arts at the age of sixteen, became a shadow assassin at the age of twenty, and within the following year, he became the second-best shadow assassin, second only to the chief shadow assassin of that year, Qilin...

In less than five years, he enabled an ordinary person to reach the pinnacle of first-class strength.

In the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, only the Dan Pavilion and the Ying family can provide such resources; even the royal family might not be able to do it.

After taking off his mask, Ying Dasheng stuck out his tongue and made a funny face.

"Ugh! I was suffocating!"

If you feel stifled, then don't pretend.

"No way, boss. You're too sentimental. Wouldn't you be uncomfortable if we changed to someone else?"

"..."

Qin Ming's noodles arrived. Another feature of Longmen Inn is that the food is served quickly.

Qin Ming ate his noodles without reacting.

Former assassin leader Fei Xi and Ying Dasheng chatted casually.

"He looks even more handsome now!"

"Hmm, but it's a pity...tsk."

Qin Ming, "..."

A few minutes later, I finished eating.

I put down my chopsticks and wiped my mouth.

"Qingfeng will take over the position of leader of the assassins, but..."

"I think the other one would be more suitable."

Before Qin Ming could finish speaking, Fei Xi interrupted him with a meaningful smile.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "He can't do it, you should know that."

After saying that, he glanced at Ying Dasheng beside him and said, "If you're not comfortable with that, just send someone up yourself."

The Shadow Organization is very special, and the Xuanwu Kingdom needs its existence.

Therefore, there must be at least one leader of the assassins.

Ghost is no longer suitable; he lacks the strength but harbors great ambitions, so someone must replace him.

So far, both Qingfeng and Wu Liuqi are qualified to take over this position and are the best candidates.

However, Qin Ming knew that Wu Liuqi didn't have that kind of intention, and Qingfeng was determined to take revenge on Youhun, so taking over that position was very suitable for him.

There was no ulterior motive; it was simply the optimal solution.

If it were a matter of personal consideration, Qin Ming would not have agreed to such a condition. Instead, he would have let Qingfeng return to the Pill Pavilion to focus on her cultivation. In a few years, killing the Ghost Soul would have been a piece of cake.

Just then, the waiter brought up a pot of tea and took the bowl away.

"Ha ha……"

Fei Xi was not surprised by this and said with a smile, "Alright, Qing Feng is fine too."

Then, Fei Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Now let's talk about something else."

Qin Ming seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, and casually placed a secret manual on the table.

The cover prominently features the title "Ten Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon".

Her gaze shifted slightly. Back then, Luo Tian's spirit body had used her to unleash the power of the third stage, but this manual had not fallen into her hands.

On the contrary, Qin Ming was the one who came out intact in the end and obtained two secret manuals.

For many years, Fei Xi had been coveting the two secret manuals in his possession, and even offered many conditions, but Qin Ming did not give them to her because these things were still somewhat dangerous.

"I have something else to do. Bye."

Qin Ming got up and left, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

To be precise, there wasn't much to talk about. The relationship between the two was somewhat delicate; they weren't exactly enemies, but calling them friends would be a stretch.

From the time when Fei Xi was still the leader of the assassins, there were actually more clandestine confrontations.

"Tsk..."

A barely perceptible hint of displeasure appeared on Fei Xi's face, but she didn't say anything and glanced at Qin Ming's figure.

Those kids from back then seem to have become a bit harder to deal with...

"is this real?"

Ying Dasheng looked at him with some confusion and curiosity in his eyes.

Fei Xi casually picked up the manual, glanced at it, stood up, and walked out. "Really."

Winning big, he hurriedly followed.

The two walked onto the street, and Ying Dasheng had already put her mask back on. She was dressed similarly to Qinglong, and given the rumors that the Ying family possessed the ability to disguise herself in countless ways and the skill of shrinking her body, it was difficult to spot any flaws in her disguise.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the walk, Fei Xi suddenly rolled her eyes at her, "Alright, I asked you to change into something more presentable to come out with me, not to cause me any trouble."

The voice returned to its own, "Hehe... I owed the gambling den some money before."

"call……"

He glanced at her speechlessly. The eldest daughter of the Ying family, the wealthiest family in Xuanwu Kingdom, had actually gone to a gambling den and racked up a huge debt. There was no one else like her.

Fei Xi said, "Go and deal with the ghost matter. Remember, don't give anything away, you traitorous scoundrel..."

Ying Dasheng lowered his head slightly, and his voice changed back to that of a blue dragon, cold and deep.

"Yes... Your Majesty."
