That was the first time Ming Yu saw Soong Xiaosheng and Lin Nuan'er.
To be honest, he did feel some danger from Soong Xiaosheng.
It was because Soong Xiaosheng was a Expert of Fourth Layer of the Star Swallowing Stage, and his realm was high as well as the profound strength of the Star Nucleus s. In addition, Ming Yu could faintly feel that Soong Xiaosheng also had Source Core Soul s in his body, and the number of his Star Aperture s was definitely not low. It was very likely that he had already reached the level of three to five thousand Star Aperture, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach this kind of extraordinary realm by the age of twenty.
Moreover, Soong Xiaosheng's fighting strength should be extraordinary as well.
Ming Yu estimated that with his current strength, if he were to use his full strength, he would not be Soong Xiaosheng's opponent. If he was able to learn the third sword style, the《 Heavenly One》, then perhaps he would have the confidence to contend against it.
However, what Ming Yu should contend against was Soong Xiaosheng. Naturally, it would not be Lin Nuan'er. Instead, it would be the danger he would face in this mission.
And this danger, was the hidden dark light within the coffin transport mission. Was it the Vicious Beast, or was it an assassin?
Ming Yu had seen a terrifying Vicious Beast like the Blood Thunder Vulture before, so he naturally knew how terrifying it was. Furthermore, the killer Ming Yu had also seen one before, and that person was the Ghost Face!
Just like what Ming Yu had experienced before, no one could bring about a life or death crisis like Ming Yu. The Ghost Face was the strongest person he had ever seen, and it was also the person with the most talent!
He would never forget that pitch-black night when the starlight shone brightly all over the wilderness and the seventy thousand Star Aperture radiated brilliantly at the same time!
If it wasn't for the appearance of the Ghost Face, Ming Yu wouldn't have known that there was actually someone in this world who could possess 70,000 Star Aperture, who could outclass the Heavenly Gift Stars, and that he was so insignificant.
From that day onwards, even when Ming Yu escaped from that life and death situation, his curiosity towards the killer had been greatly improved.
In his eyes, assassins should be like that. Cold, merciless, and even cut off all emotions and desires. They should be able to do whatever they wanted in order to complete the mission.
The Ghost Face seemed to be the same, but for some reason, he felt that it wasn't.
He was like a mystery, like the ghostly mask that covered his face. It was impossible to see through or see through.
This was Ming Yu's confusion towards the assassin's true nature of the Berserker Imperial Region. Perhaps he was just peeping at the panther in the sky, and thought that the Ghost Face represented the assassin's nature of the entire Berserker Imperial Region.
But he was wrong.
When Soong Xiaosheng and Lin Nuan'er came out of the mission announcement center, the first thing they were warned about was the assassination organization.
Because this time it was a three star mission, it was very likely that there would be an attack and sneak attack from the assassination organisations. Although the Remnant Soul of Giant Spirit s in the corpses of the clan masters of the Azure Dragon Rock were uncertain, but it was definitely enough to make one envious, if they could obtain recognition, their fighting strength would receive a huge increase, and their body would even be able to inherit some of the characteristics of the Remnant Soul of Giant Spirit.
These assassin's guilds were very well-planned. Some of them might work alone, but there were also others that did it in groups. Therefore, the three star mission this time was focused on these assassin's guilds.
Since the birth of the escort company, the assassin's guild had become the antithesis, representing both righteousness and evil. Although it was said that it was evil beyond belief, no one dared to be careless, because a truly powerful assassin's organization, even the eight great escort companies like Universe Escort Office, still needed to face it head on!
Soong Xiaosheng and Lin Nuan'er did not go into detail about these matters. They merely agreed that they would meet with the clansmen of the Azure Dragon Rock in front of the Brilliant Main City's main entrance the next afternoon and that they would move the coffin together at that time.
During the preparation time for this night, Ming Yu not only packed his luggage and brought everything he needed, he even specifically asked about the Berserker Imperial Region Killers' Association.
Actually, this information was known by everyone long ago. It's just that Ming Yu had been training hard all this time and was always in deep pain due to the circumstances. Thus, he did not have a detailed understanding.
It was only when he was slightly free to calm down that he finally understood the assassin's guild of the Barbarian Imperial Region.
Although these hitmen organizations were not organized in public, and no other organizations could find their base of operations, the terror of these organizations was still terrifying enough to make people tremble in fear.
According to the information, the assassination association had existed since before the escort company was established. And because of the evolution of thousands of years, it had formed a large scale, disciplined, and organized group!
The more powerful the assassination association, the more it was like that!
The number of people in these assassination organisations was even fewer than the number of elite Armed Escort s in orthodox escort organizations, but there were hundreds or even thousands of people in them. Their cultivation realm was superb, their battle experience was old, and their killing methods were endless, so much so that one person could destroy a powerful sect!
And these people grew up in the dark. No one knew where they were hiding under the sun, but in the darkness of the night they became the bloodiest of assassins, causing everyone to feel fear in their hearts!
Everyone knew that the Barbarian Imperial Region had eight great escort boards. The Universe Escort Office s, the Eternal Justice Escort Office, the Radiant Jade Escort Office, the Heaven Silkworm Escort Office, the Hanhai Escort Office, the Flashing Wind Escort Office, the Wanxing Escort Office, and the Misty Rain Escort Office.
On the other side, there was also a super killer organization. It was a super killer organization that all eight security agencies had to pay attention to.
The biggest assassin's guild was Scarlet Moon, and it was also the most terrifying assassin's guild.
Just Scarlet Moon alone was enough to attract the attention and resistance of everyone in the eight great escort organizations. One could imagine just how terrifying the Scarlet Moon organization was.
In the past hundred years, the newly established assassination organization had also been established, for example, the Nine Demons Flower Society. Every assassin had the patterns of the Nine Demons Flower engraved on their body, and the vast majority of them were all female, with each and every one of them being a poisonous rose with thorns.
Another example would be the newly rising assassination organization: Nether Grave. It had been less than a hundred years since its inception, and they already possessed terrifying achievements. However, those achievements also meant blood, meaning that the death of innocent lives, was an assassination organization that struck fear in people's hearts!
There were a few other organizations like this, but the number of people that could rank at the top were just ten. Of course, all of them took Scarlet Moon as their leader!
"Scarlet Moon …"
Ming Yu closed the book and stood by the window, looking at the distant stars and moon as he muttered to himself, "Demon Face, could it be that he's someone from Scarlet Moon …"
"..."
Early morning of the next day, Ming Yu had already headed towards the Universe Escort Office to pick up the Black Hawk s that were specially used to complete missions, and directly flew towards the gates to Radiant Main City. Even so, it took him half a day's worth of time to do so, but he finally arrived outside the city gate at the scheduled time in the afternoon.
At this time, Soong Xiaosheng, Lin Nuan'er and two other two 2-star Armed Escort s had already arrived. They came in batches, Soong Xiaosheng and Lin Nuan'er were together, and the other two 2-star Armed Escort s had formed a team, and had been waiting for them for a long time already. They did not call Ming Yu along, firstly because they were not close with Ming Yu, and secondly because they did not want to be with him.
However, Ming Yu didn't care about this at all. Completing the mission this time was the most important.
He quickly shifted his gaze and looked behind Soong Xiaosheng and the others. At this moment, there was a black and blue coffin, which was extremely thick and heavy. Just by looking at it, it was clearly only two meters long and it did not seem big, but it really gave off a feeling like it was as heavy as Mt. Tai!
Even though it was separated by the coffin, Ming Yu could still feel the weight of the coffin.
He tried to use the Dark Soul's touch to see through it, but he quickly discovered that his own Spiritual Strength was blocked out by a thick barrier, making it impossible for him to truly feel it.
However, as a powerful warrior, he could already sense the frightening and majestic anger from the inside of this coffin.
Ming Yu couldn't help but feel a little weird.
It was obviously a coffin that was being transported, yet such a huge life force was faintly concealed within the coffin.
Ming Yu knew that the source of the life force was the Remnant Soul of Giant Spirit. Originally, this remnant spirit should have belonged to the Azure Dragon Rock Gang, but it was in vain against fate.
"Hey, did you know you're late?"
Just as Ming Yu's Black Hawk landed, a young man beside the coffin had already walked towards Ming Yu with large strides and an unfriendly tone.
His name was Shi Loong, and he was thirty-seven years old this year. He had the strength of the third level of Star Swallowing Stage, and had a gigantic sword and divine weapon.
At this moment, when he walked in front of Ming Yu, there were still nine elders of the Azure Dragon Rock Gang behind him.
"I'm sorry, I just arrived at Brilliant Main City not too long ago, so I'm not familiar with this place yet. I searched around for a while and asked a few questions before I got here, I hope you can forgive me."
Ming Yu felt a bit ashamed.
"Forgive me?"
Shi Loong was already a tough and sturdy man, wearing a green leather suit tied to his body, and his muscles were twisted. At this moment, his tiger-like eyes were staring straight at Ming Yu, and a powerful pressure was exerted as he said coldly: "My father's funeral and the schedule for it have already been planned out, did you know, because of your lateness, that it is very possible that it will be delayed because of you? If we arrived at Stone Dragon City late and missed the auspicious time and were to be buried, would you compensate us?"
Shi Loong's temper was already explosive. Coupled with the death of his father and some other reasons, he was more likely to be blown away. Looking at Ming Yu now, he really wanted to slap him in the face.
"This …"
Ming Yu felt a bit guilty: "Sorry, I really didn't think of it …"2
After all, the dead were big. Although Ming Yu was unfamiliar with this place, it was indeed a bit wrong to do so.
"Originally, your Universe Escort Office's price was already expensive, but this time your people are still late, what kind of logic is that!"
Shi Loong stared at Soong Xiaosheng and the rest, and then once again stared at Ming Yu, pointing to the ground, he said: "Right now, kneel down in front of me and apologize to my Azure Dragon Rock, if you don't give us an explanation today, I will not take your people from the escort team!"
With this said, everyone could not help but frown.
Soong Xiaosheng didn't expect Shi Loong to be this kind of person. Originally, he wanted to enjoy the world with Lin Nuan'er, but this Shi Loong was rather depressing.
However, the most disappointing one should be Ming Yu.
This piece of trash, being late on the first day of the mission for someone to pick on him was truly annoying.
"Give them an explanation." Soong Xiaosheng looked at Ming Yu with a cold gaze, signalling to him with his eyes.
As for Shi Loong and the rest, they were also agitating themselves to look at Ming Yu.
If Ming Yu didn't give him an explanation, he really didn't want to pay such a high price to get someone from Universe Escort Office!
Facing the attention of the crowd, Ming Yu's mood was not as stable as he had imagined. Originally, he had planned to come here today to properly carry out his mission, but who knew that before he could even leave the city and enter the Wilderness to sharpen his cultivation level, he already encountered a problem here.
However, the fact that Ming Yu's emotions were unstable did not mean that he felt wronged. He just felt that he should give a reasonable explanation.
"You want me to give you an explanation? That's fine, I came here late today because I have disrespected the old Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Rock. This is my mistake, isn't it?" Ming Yu said.
"Oh, I thought you didn't know."
Shi Loong didn't expect the Universe Escort Office brat to submit so quickly.
Ming Yu laughed, and then said: "But why do I have to kneel to the people from the Azure Dragon Rock Sect regarding the old Sect Master? You are all members of the Azure Dragon Rock Gang, but as a senior, elder, and commander, before the old Sect Master is buried, he should be the largest.
Shi Loong's eyes were wide open as the nine elders behind him were the same. They never thought that this brat in front of them was actually such a glib person!
"You!"
"Get out of the way."
Shi Loong was about to speak again but was interrupted by Ming Yu, who had a stern expression on his face.
Ming Yu walked straight in front of the huge coffin and looked at it with a serious expression. He knelt down and kowtowed three times before saying in a deep voice, "Old Sect Master, I have wasted your time. This brat is disrespectful. I'm sorry, but please forgive me."
These words and actions caused everyone to fall silent.
Shi Loong was prepared to attack Ming Yu, but seeing Ming Yu's actions, he had no choice but to stop.
However, his eyes narrowed as he looked towards the direction where Ming Yu was kowtowing. His chest was moving up and down slightly, and his cheeks were trembling. He did not say anything.
