3Even though they were a hundred kilometers away, Ye Guhsing and the others still reached the Tianqi City before the last trace of light in the sky faded.
Tianqi City was a city on the east side of Star-Moon Empire. Although its scale was not as big as Star-moon City or Ninghai City, because it was the city closest to Mystic Moon Forest, the prosperity of Tianqi City was still quite impressive.
Due to the sky turning dark, when Ye Guhsing and the rest rushed to the Tianqi City, nearly all of the inns within the city were filled with merchants and mercenaries. Ye Guhsing and the rest couldn't find a single tavern with sufficient conditions and empty rooms even after searching for half a day.
In the end, there was really no other way around it. Murong Qianqian could only rely on her identity as the princess of Star-Moon Empire to bring Ye Guhsing and the others to live in a inn that was specially prepared by the Tianqi City for the Empire's officials who came to inspect.
With a place to rest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they felt a sense of exhaustion hit their hearts. After greeting each other, everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest.
At midnight, after everyone had fallen asleep, Ye Guhsing who was originally lying down on the bed to rest suddenly got up.
Others could sleep, but he could not. The reason was because Ye Guhsing knew that he would be participating in the Holy Light City competition this time. If he was unable to kill the person called Jin Cheng within the Tianqi City, then the next time he would come to the Tianqi City, would at least be half a year later. Therefore, Ye Guhsing was prepared to kill that person called Jin Cheng tonight.
Ye Guhsing was not a rookie killer who had gone on a quest for the first time. He was experienced enough that he knew that if he wanted to get rid of the quest safely, he needed to understand the quest's lifestyle and personality.
Under the faint moonlight, Ye Guhsing took out a piece of white paper that was filled with small characters from the Space Ring. The details on the white paper was precisely related to Jin Cheng.
Jin Cheng, male, 45 years old. His personality was extremely vicious, the people of Tianqi City all called him King of Golden Hell behind his back. Jin Cheng was the patriarch of the Jin family with the Tianqi City. Although there was still a huge gap between their strength and those super families with Star-Moon Empire, and although in the past few years the Jin Family had fallen, a camel was still bigger than a horse, and when the Jin Family fell again, compared to the other clans with Tianqi City, it was still a huge monster.
According to the Guild Of Killer research, not only did the Jin family hire a large number of experts to serve as their family's guards and guest elder, even this Jin Cheng himself was an expert of the second level of the Innate realm. If he wanted to kill such a person without anyone noticing, Ye Guhsing knew that this would be the most difficult time he would have ever encountered in his life.
After reading the introduction on Jin Cheng, Ye Guhsing revealed a faint smile: "Hmph, Jin Cheng? The Jin family? Today young master will let you see what a true assassination is. " After he finished speaking, Ye Guhsing changed into a set of black tight clothes, and conveniently brought the Hundred Transformations Demon Face that was inside the Space Ring back. Immediately, killer Qi Zui came back again.
"Young master, I knew that you were in such a hurry to reach Tianqi City because of an assassination mission. Do you need this old servant to accompany you?" Just as Ye Guhsing walked out of the room, Fann Hai's voice suddenly came from his side.
"Uncle Hai, there's no need. I can settle it myself. You should still stay here and help me protect that girl Jiri Carl. I suspect that those masked men in black will not give up. Ye Guhsing shook his head and said.
"Mm, since young master is confident in himself, then this old servant will stay here and take care of the young miss of Carl Family. Young master should come back as soon as possible, if you meet with any trouble and crush this jade talisman, I will come back as soon as possible." Fann Hai said, after that he threw a jade talisman the size of a thumb towards Ye Guhsing.
"Thank you, Uncle Hai!" Receiving the jade talisman that Fan Fan Xian threw to him, Ye Guhsing nodded his head in thanks. With a tap of his feet, he instantly soared into the sky like an eagle, and in a few seconds, disappeared into the ink-like darkness.
The Jin family mansion was located at the southernmost area of the Tianqi City, which was extremely wide. Looking down from the air, the entire space occupied by the Jin family was almost the size of a football field.
Hiding on top of a hidden tree, Ye Guhsing's eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's eyes carefully observed every single move in the Jin Jia Village.
From time to time, two or three night watchmen would patrol through the spacious Jin family mansion.
Seeing those patrolling guards, Ye Guhsing knew that if he wanted to find out where Jin Cheng lived, he had to grab a tongue to ask.
Thinking about that, Ye Guhsing immediately jumped down from the tree like an agile leopard, and with lightning speed, he sealed the acupoints of a guard who was walking past the tree, and dragged him into an extremely hidden corner.
"What do you want?" The guard whose acupuncture points had been hit said while looking at Ye Guhsing in fear.
"Speak!" "Which house does Jin Cheng live in?" Ye Guhsing asked.
"No …" "I don't know!" The guard said with a shaky voice.
"If you don't say it, then I will cut off your flesh inch by inch!" Seeing that the guard was actually unwilling to tell him where Jin Cheng's house was, Ye Guhsing took out a cold and shiny dagger and gestured twice on the guard's face as he spoke.
As if he could feel the dense killing intent in Ye Guhsing's eyes, the guard immediately said anxiously: "Warrior, do not kill me. I will say everything, the Patriarch lives on the third floor of the pavilion opposite us."
"You didn't lie to me?" Ye Guhsing asked as he suspiciously glanced at the guards who had lost their ability to move.
"I dare not, chivalrous hero. This humble one will not take my name as a joke. Indeed, the Patriarch lives in that three-storey building. That place is not only the Patriarch's place, but also the entire Treasure Pavilion of the Jin Family. " The guard teacher said.
"Very well, I like your honesty." Ye Guhsing laughed sinisterly, and then suddenly slashed towards the guard's neck with the dagger in hand, instantly decapitating him.
Based on his words, only the dead were safe, so Ye Guhsing did not hesitate to kill the guard that he had grabbed as his tongue.
"Hehe, good luck. The Jin family's treasure house. Since young master has come today, returning to the treasure mountain empty-handed is not young master's style." After getting rid of the guard in front of him, Ye Guhsing smiled as he glanced at the three-story pavilion not far from him and muttered to himself. After he finished speaking, his body trembled and in the end, became like a chameleon, completely blending in with the darkness of the night.
The three-storey building was exactly as the guard had said, the Jin Family's Treasure Vault. Before Ye Guhsing who had already hidden himself even entered the pavilion, he noticed that there were several hidden guards nearby. Inside the sentry post, there were at least a few pairs of eyes watching the movements around the pavilion.
However, Ye Guhsing, who had already completely hidden himself, was not worried that the hidden sentry would discover him. What a joke, this invisibility was an absolute art within the Four Refinements Of Firmament, it was countless times better than the invisibility of the ninjas on Earth back then from the Duanmu Family Clan's previous life. If he was discovered by these ordinary cultivators, Ye Guhsing would have to consider whether or not he should continue to cultivate the Four Refinements Of Firmament.
Ye Guhsing, who had hidden himself, was much faster than before, and like a nimble monkey, he instantly flew into the third floor from an open window.
After entering the pavilion, Ye Guhsing was attracted by the treasures inside. Not only were there piles of Purple Gold Coin s, there were even many rare treasures and cultivation manuals.
"Damn, this Jin family is really worthy of being a family that has been passed down for 500 years. They really have a rich family background." Looking at the room full of treasures, Ye Guhsing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, just as Ye Guhsing was lamenting about the wealth of the Jin Clan in his heart, suddenly, a ray of light slowly shone into the pitch-black room.
The moment Ye Guhsing saw this middle-aged man, he knew that this middle-aged man was the target of his assassination, the Jin Clan Master of the Jin Clan, Jin Cheng.
