C550 A Storm Was Brewing
In the far west of East Profound Land, there was an ancient city. This place was under the jurisdiction of the Vermillion Bird Empire, and it was called the 'Fire Phoenix City'.
This city wasn't very large, and it only had a permanent population of over three million. However, because this city had three first-rate markets in East Profound, it attracted many experts to come here.
In the center of the Fire Phoenix City, there was an extremely ancient tower that was a thousand feet tall.
There was no sign on the outside of this tower. Occasionally, people would come and go. Only those who knew the origin of this tower would look at it with fear when they passed by it.
Inside the tower.
Wuma Fengling, who was dressed in red, stood in front of an old man. Her face was slightly red as she said in a low voice, "Grandfather, I failed."
The old man revealed a faint smile as he looked at Wuma Fengling, "What happened?"
"That fellow entered the Dragon Prison of the Purple Thorns Dragon Valley. I have been waiting. He waited for a long time but no one came out. Later, he was accidentally discovered by an Eighth Order Dragon Clan. I escaped from the Redbud Dragon Valley. When I snuck in again... But I found out that they had already left the Dragon Valley..."
The old man smiled," You just don't have enough experience. With your abilities, even if you're in the top ten of the Dragon Ranking, you might still be able to kill them. Go... "
" Grandfather, I... "
Wuma Fengling said somewhat awkwardly, "I have lost the whereabouts of the other party..."
At this moment, a purple figure suddenly appeared between the two of them. It was a girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
She was wearing short boots made from Demonic Beast leather. She had a slender figure, an oval face, and snow-white skin that was crystal clear. There was a mischievous smile on her face. When she saw Wuma Fengling, she giggled, "Sister, did you fail the mission?"
Wuma Fengling's expression was a little ugly, "Your invisibility technique has improved again."
The old man looked at the purple-clothed girl and smiled. "Lu'er, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Ning said with a smile, "The Emperor Tower's ninth stage. I have already passed the third stage. I feel that I can go out and carry out the mission like elder sister. Grandfather, let elder sister and I go together this time."
"No!"
Wuma Fengling directly refused.
How could she let others interfere with her first mission?
Even if this person was her nominal younger sister, it would not do!
"He passed the third stage? Then he did obtain the qualifications to leave the city..."
The old man's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Windling, bring Lu-er with you. With her help, your mission this time will be simpler."
"Grandfather..."
Wuma Fengling wanted to object but the old man continued, "As an assassin, the most important thing is not to let people know how strong you are. It is to complete the mission. No matter what method is used, the only way is to kill the target. Only by killing the target will you become a qualified assassin. Go. "
Wuma Fengling heard this and nodded her head somewhat unwillingly. She said, "Grandfather, I understand."
Then she looked at Zhou Ninglu and said snappily, "Let's go!"
Zhou Ninglu said with some excitement, "Elder sister, where are we going?"
"Jiuzhou Empire."
Wuma Fengling wanted to see if she could find Ning Qi there.
...
Jiuzhou Empire.
"Have you heard? Heishui Yunshi wants to challenge a guy in our Jing City!"
"Challenge? It was just a competition. To put it bluntly, it was murder. Heishui Yunshi is a dignified Seventh Rank Dragon Clan, and she is on par with the Battle Ancestor of the Human Clan. Furthermore, she was ranked on the Mortal Board, but you know... Who did he challenge?"
" Who is it? "
"The name of the person is unknown, but I already know that the cultivation base of that person is very low. I heard that he is a Lord Marquis from the Qintang Empire in a remote place. "
"What? Is there such a thing? This time, Heishui Aoloong personally came to Jing City and posted hundreds of posts. Among them were the Martial King Mansion, the Mu Imperial Residence, the Black Jail Gate, the Duke of Zhou's Mansion, the Heavenly Sword Marquis family, the Divine Dragon Marquis Residence, the major and minor powers in the Jing City, and even Eunuch Yuv. They had invited him as well. Oh, there was also Dongfang Haojie and a few princes in the Imperial Palace. The princesses had heard that even the Dingtian Holy Concubine was coming. Her relationship with the Black Water Dragon Clan is very close! "
"If it was just a little Lord Marquis from the Liuliu Empire, how could he have invited so many people here?"
"I don't know about that. Three days later is the date of their competition. When they arrive, we will naturally know who Heishui Yunshi wants to challenge, but can you get an admission ticket?"
"Of course not!"
...
"Heishui Yunshi of Black Water Dragon Clan wants to fight with someone?"
"Are we going?"
"Of course we should go and see if Heishui Yunshi's strength has increased. "
A few Heavenly Prodigies who were also on the Mortal Board smiled at each other.
...
"Junior Brother Hua, you heard it too, didn't you? Our mission is already over. Why don't we watch the competition here and then go back? With our status as an inner circle disciple of Cloud Rising Sect, getting an admission ticket is a piece of cake. "
A young man said while looking at Hua Wushang with a smile on his face.
There were seven or eight people standing beside him, including a man and a woman. All of them were inner circle disciples of Cloud Rising Sect, but their cultivation base was only between the First Star and Three star Dou Huang.
Obviously, they were led by Hua Wushang. After all, Elder Raging Waves was standing behind Hua Wushang.
Hua Wushang said in a flat tone, "Alright."
...
In a very stylish courtyard.
Dongfang Haojie woke up from his meditation and walked out of his seclusion. A Old Eunuch had been waiting for him for a long time and handed him an invitation.
Dongfang Haojie took it and took a look. He frowned slightly. "The day of Heishui Yunshi's competition with Ning Qi has arrived?"
This year seemed to have passed in an instant. If not for this invitation, he would have long forgotten about this matter.
"The gap between Ning Qi's cultivation base and Heishui Yunshi's is huge. However, he has the bronze puppet in his hand. This competition won't be a big problem."
At the thought of this, the corner of Dongfang Haojie's mouth curled into a faint smile. He instructed Old Eunuch, "Get ready. All of us will go over there."
If he knew that Ning Qi didn't have the Low-grade Spirit God Stone to activate the bronze puppet, it wouldn't be so easy for him.
A trace of astonishment was revealed in Old Eunuch's eyes. He didn't expect that Dongfang Haojie would really plan to watch this competition and bring everyone along.
Was Heishui Yunshi worth him being so cautious about her?
...0
Cloud Mist Tower.
Chu Xian, Yuwen Shang, and Dongfang Lingdong sat together. After they heard the conversations of the customers nearby, they looked at each other.
"Chu Xian, this Heishui Yunshi is the one who humiliated you, right?"
Yuwen Shang looked at Chu Xian and said with a faint smile.
Chu Xian's face was a little ugly. Seven or eight years ago, when she was on a mission, when he met Heishui Yunshi, Chu Xian had just stepped into the Life Death First Pass. Heishui Yunshi was already a Seventh Rank Dragon Clan, and because of some misunderstandings... If it wasn't for the fact that she was a disciple of the Chu family... I guess he was killed right away.
"Then we have no choice but to participate in this competition..."
Dongfang Lingdong smiled.
...
"Again. I wonder if those assassins are still waiting for me here. Hmm, let's go meet Dongfang Haojie first."
Ning Qi and Heavenly Pig Venerable entered from the south city gate. Looking at the streets of Jing City in Jiuzhou Empire, the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
