79: Chapter 79 As Expected

【A handful of longswords suddenly descended, rushing toward Lin Yurou.】

【Immersed in her memories, she was a bit slow to react, though she managed to raise her protective True Qi. Still, the longswords broke through her defense and pierced her brain.】

【Lin Yurou let out a muffled groan and hurriedly retreated, but the longswords fell without pause, continuously breaking through her protective True Qi.】

【-59】

【Watching the number floating above her head, you suddenly felt a sense of boredom.】

【The enemy who once threatened you and seemed incomparably powerful to you was now nothing more than an ant.】

【Just trash that dies with a single glance.】

【You withdrew your gaze, simultaneously extending your True Gang to destroy the few swords about to fall.】

【Lin Yurou collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, with the wound on her head bleeding continuously; she was extremely weak.】

【The Blood Snake transformed into leaves to cover your eyes, and you walked toward Lin Yurou step by step.】

【She looked at you in surprise.】

【Your form at this moment was very bizarre.】

【Dressed in white, with blue hair draped over your shoulders, a blue question-mark ahoge on top of your head, eyes blood-red, and every step you took caused a snake to fall from your clothes and crawl away.】

【The entire person was strange to the extreme.】

【"You are the Master of Taixu Hall?"】

【Lin Yurou's face was pale, and she struggled to say: "Tell me, who, who killed Senior Brother and destroyed the Luoyun Sect."】

【You walked up to her, reached into your pocket to grab a small snake, and played with it gently: "I tell you the identity of the other party, and you give Catching Heart to me, how about that?"】

【"What do you want with Catching Heart?"】

【"That, you don't need to ask."】

【After using One Leaf Obscures the Eye, you couldn't see Lin Yurou's appearance clearly, but in this close-range contact, you could feel the torment in her heart.】

【"An identity is not worth the entirety of Catching Heart."】

【Lin Yurou lowered her head in response.】

【You extended your right hand and pinched her chin: "Then what about your life?"】

【As you spoke, a bit of Zhou Poison erupted.】

【Lin Yurou bled from her seven orifices, fell to the ground, and became even weaker, with her HP remaining at only 10.】

【A Martial Artist of this level is too weak.】

【After your Breakthrough to the middle stage of the True Core Realm, you can kill her easily.】

【If you use Sword Qi, it would be a one-hit kill.】

【After you finished speaking, the air suddenly went silent.】

【Lin Yurou lay on the ground, having no other choice: "I accept this deal."】

【As she spoke, she took a manual and five tokens from her cloth bag: "This is the list of assassins for Catching Heart, the contact methods, and five heavenly fire tokens."】

【"With these, you can control the entire Catching Heart."】

【You picked up the items on the ground and tossed them to Boundless, who was nearby.】

【Boundless flipped through them using Demonic Qi, and two minutes later said: "Great King, there's no problem."】

【The contact methods of the three major assassin organizations were all very secretive.】

【The identity of every assassin was also a mystery.】

【Accepting missions and collecting rewards required special contact methods.】

【With these, Catching Heart was now within your control.】

【Of course, there was one prerequisite: that no second person uses it with you.】

【"That person is named Tieshan."】

【Lin Yurou's expression changed in shock: "Tieshan, the bandit who was defeated by my Senior Brother back then?"】

【Yes.】

【Tieshan's true identity was a bandit leader from the State of Qin, a mountain stronghold chieftain with a large force and many subordinates under his command.】

【This was also information you had obtained last time through the Second Floor.】

【"That's right. Three years ago, Tieshan had a Breakthrough to Martial Artist, came to seek revenge on your Senior Brother, and destroyed the Luoyun Sect along the way."】

【"Of course, it doesn't count as completely destroyed; the current Luoyun Sect has already been rebuilt."】

【You squeezed the little black snake in your hand and turned to leave: "Lin Yurou, one must keep their word."】

【"I have already told you the person, I hope you won't be ungrateful."】

【Before Lin Yurou could say anything, she felt a strange pain. The next moment, everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.】

【You turned around and re-activated One Leaf Obscures the Eye.】

【Looking at the small wooden box on the ground, your heart was without ripples: "This counts as revenge."】

【"A Martial Artist, to die so simply."】

【You dropped the little black snake in your hand to the ground and destroyed the wooden box with a palm strike: "Tieshan's sword is quite interesting."】

【"But his strength seems not so simple."】

【In that simulation where you encountered Tieshan, this guy started pursuing the next step after killing Chen Xingyun.】

【He is clearly not an ordinary Martial Artist, so you must still be cautious.】

【With an extra layer of concern in your heart, you returned to the Ice Dragon Path to continue your cultivation.】

【As for Catching Heart, you handed it over to Boundless and Number One to control. With them taking action, they would investigate more information for you within the Five Kingdoms.】

【The eighth year.】

【Boundless and his group brought back the information you wanted.】

【Number One's expression was ugly: "Great King, the people from Catching Heart probed several times in the State of Zhao, State of Wei, State of Qin, and Jiang Kingdom, and discovered that most of the people on the list are not Transmigrators."】

【"They haven't changed at all, and their strength is pitifully weak."】

【"Among more than twenty people, only two meet the requirements."】

【What???】

【You looked at Number One and Boundless, somewhat surprised.】

【Indeed so; the list that Qin Wufeng gave you last time really had problems.】

【"Are you sure?"】

【"Confirmed. After the people from Catching Heart probed, our brothers from Choosing Heaven also went, and the results were the same."】

【The people of Choosing Heaven are all Black Egg Youth. The first thing they see when they open their eyes is you, and they are one hundred percent loyal to you. You believe their words.】

【"Interesting."】

【"What are the identities of those two people?"】

【"One is Ye Liancheng, the son of the city lord of a small city in Jiang Kingdom; the other is Qin Ning, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Wushi Palace in the State of Wei. According to our investigation, the possibility of them being Transmigrators is very high."】

【The identities of these two people are not particularly important.】

【If you were to take action, the impact would also be the lowest.】

【You asked again: "What about those Reborn ones?"】

【"Most of them are fake; only one fits the characteristics—a drastically changed personality and extraordinary talent."】

【"Who is it?"】

【"An Elder of the Curse Wind Sect in Jiang Kingdom."】

【You quickly made a decision: "Send people to collect information about Ye Liancheng and Qin Ning."】

【"Prepare to take action."】

【"Understood."】

【Boundless and Number One hurriedly left to begin acting.】

【You closed your eyes, playing with the few small snakes in your hands, thinking constantly in your heart.】

【The eighth year, mid-year.】

【The investigation of the information was about finished.】

【You prepared to take action.】

【One is in the Jiang Kingdom in the north, the other is in Eastern Wei.】

【For the sake of caution, you decided to first finish off the Wushi Palace Outer Sect Disciple in Eastern Wei, Qin Ning.】

【Although you had no grievances with her, this matter didn't need any other reason.】

【Skill points are everything!】

【"Rest assured, I will compensate you well."】

【You smiled, continuously teleporting, rushing toward Eastern Wei at an extremely fast speed.】

【Half an hour later, you crossed a vast expanse of land in the State of Chen and arrived within the territory of Eastern Wei.】

【The people from Catching Heart and Choosing Heaven cooperated perfectly.】

【Allowing you to find Qin Ning in a small city.】
