The reason why Yan Xi had followed Tang Yin all the way to the Yan City was to investigate his identity. Now that Tang Yin had let her go first, it was clear that he wanted to get rid of her, but the words had already reached this point, so Yan Xi had no choice but to leave. She gave Tang Yin a deep glance before urging her to go past him.
A few of her subordinates hurriedly followed her upon seeing this. Yan Xi's reaction speed was extremely strong, when she passed by the dead horse, her mind flashed, she reined in the reins and turned to say: "Hall Lord Tang, although it was a misunderstanding, but this horse died because of you, our Asura Sect is very poor, I wonder if Hall Lord Tang can compensate us for our losses?"
How hard is that? Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then turned to Shangguan Yuanwu and said: "Yuanwu, give me a hundred silver to Sect Lord Yan."
"Yes!" Young Master! " Yuanwu agreed as he took out two pieces of 50 taels of silver ingots from his bag and handed it over to Yan Xi.
Of course, what Yan Xi wanted was not silver, she deliberately revealed a difficult expression, and shook her head at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was startled, then asked: "Why isn't Sect Lord Yan accepting it?"
Yan Xi shamelessly said, "It's not enough."
"Not enough?" Tang Yin wasn't clear about the current price of Feng Country, nor was he clear on the price of horses, but Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the rest all frowned at the same time. A hundred silver coins was more than enough to buy a horse, if not more than enough. Yan Xi did not want his own side to compensate for the losses, but had deliberately come to cause trouble.
Tang Yin asked: "I wonder how much Sect Lord Yan thinks is appropriate to the compensation?"
Yan Xi cleared her throat and said shamelessly, "One thousand gold."
Yan Xi calculated that Tang Yin and the rest would not have so much silver on them, they could only go back to their homes to retrieve it, thus she was clear about Tang Yin's identity.
Even if Tang Yin didn't understand the price, he knew that Yan Xi was asking for a sky-high price. What kind of horse would be worth a thousand silver? He could not help but shake his head and laugh. "It seems that your sect is really not rich!"
Yan Xi could hear his sarcastic remarks, but she did not mind as she continued to speak with a serious tone, "Although this horse is not a good foal, the feelings that we brothers have after raising it for so many years, I only want a thousand silver taels, perhaps we brothers feel that it is too little! Right, Anyao? "
The old man called An Yao lowered his head, blushing from embarrassment. He did not say a word. After all, not everyone was as shameless as Yan Xi.
Tang Yin looked at Yan Xi, then looked at An Yao who had his head bowed without a word, and laughed out loud. He spoke to Shangguan Yuanwu: "What Sect Lord Yan says is reasonable. Yuanwu, give Sect Lord Yan a thousand silver!"
Shangguan Yuanwu was unconvinced, but since the King had spoken, he did not dare disobey. The latter opened his bag and took out a stack of banknotes. He took out two pieces of banknotes worth 500 taels of silver and handed them over to Yan Xi.
This time, Yan Xi and her four subordinates were all stunned, all of the travelling adventurers who were decent were not very rich, and were able to get them to take out a few or even a few dozen taels of silver. But to ask them to take out a thousand taels of silver, even if they had to throw the pot and sell it, they would not be able to do so. Yet, not only did Tang Yin casually take out a thousand taels of silver, he even had a huge amount of it when he looked at the amount of silver in his bag.
Receiving Shangguan Yuanwu's silver bills, Yan Xi intentionally looked at them carefully to confirm that it was indeed true. She was also extremely curious about Tang Yin's background.
She returned the two banknotes back to Shangguan Yuanwu, who smiled and asked: "What? Do the Sect Lord Yan feel that there are not enough? "
Yan Xi waved her hand awkwardly and laughed: "Hall Lord Tang, I was just joking with you, I didn't expect you to take it seriously. No matter how poor and destitute our Asura Sect is, we can still afford to lose a mere horse. " After a pause, she continued, "Meeting again is fate! We came from afar and are not familiar with the place where Yan City exist. I wonder if we can come to Hall Lord Tang's residence and rest for a while? "
Since it was impossible to hide, Yan Xi might as well come to the point.
Tang Yin chuckled, and asked in reply: "How does Sect Lord Yan know my home is in Yan City? Could it be that I am passing by here? "
Oh? Yan Xi had not expected this, in the moment that she was stunned, Tang Yin said again: "Sect Lord Yan is right, my family is indeed at the Yan City, if Sect Lord Yan is willing to give me face, then of course I would be very pleased." Sooner or later, Yan Xi would find out her true identity, and it wouldn't make a difference if she left a day earlier or a day later.
Hearing Tang Yin's agreement, Yan Xi was extremely happy, her face did not reveal any expression, she raised her head and said: "Hall Lord Tang, please lead the way!"
Tang Yin laughed as he mounted his horse. At this time, Jiang Fan and the others looked worried as they asked: "Young Master?"
"I'm fine!" Tang Yin shook his head at the crowd.
They turned out of the alley and entered the main street of Yan City.
The liveliness of the Yan City far surpassed that of the Laiyang. The streets were bustling with pedestrians as caravans continuously flowed in. Here, no matter where one was from, one could see all kinds of races.
Yan Xi and Tang Yin were walking in the front, shoulder-to-shoulder. On the way, she asked: "Hall Lord Tang, what kind of business is your esteemed sect doing?"
"This ?" Seeing him hesitate, Yan Xi guessed: "Is it a business that cannot be exposed?"
Tang Yin laughed and said: "Sect Lord Yan misunderstands, what we are doing is a legitimate business."0
"If that's the case, then what's so difficult about it?" Yan Xi asked with a smile.
Tang Yin was about to speak, but suddenly he felt a killing intent coming from his right.
This feeling was very subtle. He didn't see anything wrong with it, but he could feel its danger.
It was too late to remind Yan Xi now, so she quickly grabbed Yan Xi's left shoulder and pulled hard. With a loud thump, Tang Yin and Yan Xi both fell off their horses, landing on the ground between the two horses.
"You ?" Yan Xi didn't understand what was going on. She first cried out in shock, then angrily glared at the Tang Yin who was pressing down on him. Before she could even speak, he heard the sound of wind breaking, and more than 10 crossbow bolts whizzed past from the back of the horse. If Tang Yin and Yan Xi did not get off the horse in time, the 10 plus crossbow bolts would have pierced into their bodies.
The two of them flew past, but the passersby were met with the calamity of being caught by a fish. Several of them were shot by arrows and fell to the ground screaming in blood.
Both of Tang Yin's hands touched the ground as he propped himself up. After that, he covered his spirit armor and turned his head to shout: "There's an assassin!"
There was no need for Tang Yin to shout, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the rest could already see everything clearly from behind. Following the flight of the arrow, Brother Shangguan, Ah San rushed forward and immediately stood at the four sides of Tang Yin to block him, while Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin used their Shadow Shift to flash into the side of the street where the crossbow arrows were shot down from the second floor.
At the same time, the streets were already in a mess, with people screaming and people screaming everywhere, the panicking crowd fled in all directions. Brother Shangguan and Ah San who were covered in their spirit armor had to use all of their strength to barely stand still, not getting pushed away by the chaotic crowd.
At this time, Yan Xi understood what was going on. She crawled out from beneath Tang Yin's body, took out her sword, and used her spirit armor to look around. She asked curiously: "Tang Chu, who did you offend? They actually chased him all the way to the capital? "
This should be the assassin's cleverness! Tang Yin sneered in his heart, since the assassin was able to set up a ambush here, it meant that the other party had long recognized his identity, and they didn't attack on the way, but chose to kill him in the bustling capital instead. Their goal was very simple, it was to kill him when they thought he was absolutely safe and relaxed. This was a surprise attack, a surprise attack. Tang Yin who was an assassin knew very well about this kind of tactic.
He narrowed his eyes and spoke faintly: "How does Sect Lord Yan know that the assassin is coming for me? Maybe the other party wants to kill you! Don't forget, there have been precedents where one could use the Laiyang. "
The latter frowned, but in her heart, she could not help but mutter to herself, could it be that the assassin was really coming for her?
Just as she was pondering, the sounds of fighting came from inside the restaurant, it was obvious that Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin had started fighting with the assassins inside.
Yan Xi shook her head and said to her four subordinates: "Enter the restaurant and lend a hand to the brothers from the Hall of Huai Feng. We must take down all the assassins!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes!" The four Asura Sect helpers responded in unison, then carried their spirit weapons and rushed into the restaurant with large strides.
The streets were in a complete mess now. The Shangguan brothers and Ah San Ah Si were also knocked around by the running crowd. Shangguan Yuanwu said, "Big... Young master, this place is in chaos. Let's retreat to the side of the road ? "Ahh!" Before he could finish his words, a sword stabbed out from the crowd in front of him. Shangguan Yuanwu was caught off guard and was struck right in the stomach.
Fortunately the opponent's sword was not long enough, and was far away, if not the power of the sword would be able to pierce through Shangguan Yuanwu's body. The latter cried out in pain as his body swayed. However, he clenched his teeth and did not fall. Instead, he turned around and swung his sword towards the crowd.
The people in front of him were all cut in half by his sword. There was still surprise on their faces, but their bodies had fallen to the ground.
Hua ? ? The crowd became even more confused, and in the midst of the flustered crowd, another cold sword pierced out. Shangguan Yuanwu used his own body to protect himself, and after two pouncing sounds, his thighs and ribs were struck by another sword.
Although it sounded slow, in truth, Shangguan Yuanwu had been struck three times in a blink of an eye. That fearsome Shangguan Yuanwu was also unable to endure that, and his body involuntarily fell backwards.
"Yuanwu!" Tang Yin immediately extended his hand to catch the heavily injured Shangguan Yuanwu, but before he could check on his injuries, countless of people already crowded over.
The commoners in front saw Shangguan Yuanwu's bloodied body, and didn't want to push forward, so they didn't have enough time to dodge. However, the huge force behind them could only push them forward.
Seeing that, Tang Yin's eyes turned red, he grabbed onto Yuanwu's shoulders and forcefully pulled him out from the crowd.
Just as he was pulling Yuanwu, a Spirit Sword pierced through from the crowd and straight towards Tang Yin's forehead.
