Three days ago.

At Happy Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant, in a corner seat, sat a few Jianghu individuals. They ordered five portions of lamb, dipped it in sesame paste, and ate with sweat pouring down their faces, unable to stop their chopsticks.

They looked nothing like the terrifying assassins they were rumored to be.

That's right.

They were all Executioners from Rain Listening Pavilion.

"I wonder why the Yunzhou branch suddenly issued the Mountain Rain Approaching Order? What is it for?"

"I've put away my blade for a long time; it's about time I did something big. Now, Yunzhou City is in turmoil, which is a good time to fish in troubled waters."

A bald man with sparse eyebrows and a rather fierce appearance, an Executioner, spoke.

Within Rain Listening Pavilion, there was no hierarchy among assassins.

However, this Mountain Rain Approaching Order was issued directly by the main Pavilion.

"I heard our Pavilion's Saintess will also come to Yunzhou this time."

A killer wrapped entirely in black bandages said mysteriously.

"Heavenly Demon Woman also coming?"

"Even she has been alerted; it seems the Pavilion has a big plan."

All the assassins were shocked.

The Rain Listening Pavilion Heavenly Demon Saintess, the most prominent Genius assassin of Rain Listening Pavilion's new generation, had assassinated three Qianlong Ranking Prodigies.

It was rumored that her appearance was ever-changing, making it impossible to guard against her, and her swordsmanship was incredibly strange.

"It seems this time, we are to cooperate."

The sparse-browed Executioner's eyes were deep.

After exchanging glances, several assassins nodded in agreement.

They seemed to hold this bald assassin in great awe.

"Bald Boss, I'll toast you."

"This hot pot is truly amazing. I wonder if Yunzhou City has a branch?"

"After it's done, I'll definitely eat two more plates of lamb."

The assassins were chatting.

Suddenly, an assassin who had been silent all along, his gaze abruptly deepened.

"Look, who is that?"

"Hmm?"

The assassins were startled.

This Executioner was also extremely famous, known as the Death-Eyed Absolute Blade.

When he looked at someone with such eyes, it meant he had Killing Intent, and that person was doomed to die!

"Li Mo?"

Every assassin, upon arriving at a new place, would first exchange information at the dark market and naturally see various bounties.

Li Mo's portrait appeared on a bounty.

And the price was not low.

A high price, but a low Realm—perhaps it was because of his identity as a True Disciple of Qingyuan Sect that no one had succeeded yet?

"Is he also going to the Martial Arts Summit?"

"We can just do a job."

"Let's do it after leaving Ziyang Prefecture; it's too close to Qingyuan Sect here..."

Several assassins immediately agreed.

After eating a few more plates of lamb, they used tracking techniques to follow Qingyuan Sect's convoy.

It wasn't until today, after confirming that no Senior Master or similar elders were accompanying them, that they jumped out.

Then they stopped Qingyuan Sect's carriage.

"This mountain is mine, and this tree is mine!"

"We are assassins, what the hell are you shouting?"

"Cough, this way is more imposing...."

No kidding. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The assassins were dressed strangely, and their weapons were all bizarre.

Standing there, they indeed exuded some Killing Intent.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over Li Mo."

"As for the rest of you, I can still let you live."

The squinting swordsman said in a deep voice.

"Me?"

Li Mo, who had just gotten off the carriage, was stunned.

He had thought they were mountain bandits robbing the road.

He didn't expect to be called out by name as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Heh, you'd better be sensible."

The assassin, who used to be a bandit, sneered:

"Do you see these gentlemen? They are all Executioner assassins from Rain Listening Pavilion, capable of making children stop crying at night."

"This one, known in the Jianghu as Blood-Handed Vulture, pulls out a hair every time he kills someone. Later, when his hair was gone, he started plucking his eyebrows. Look how bald he is; I ask you, are you afraid or not!"

"And the one to my left, Death-Eyed Absolute Blade, anyone he looks at with his squinted eyes won't live past tonight!"

"Of course, the one behind me is even more significant. It's said that the souls of those he kills are absorbed into his body and imprinted on him. Once his bandages are removed, it's a night of ten thousand ghosts!"

"And me, Jade Faced Flying Dragon..."

The assassin who called himself Jade Faced Flying Dragon rambled on and on.

The Qingyuan Sect Disciples looked puzzled.

"What Realm are they all in?"

"In the 관신 Realm, the highest one should be Three Apertures."

"Then why are they so arrogant?"

"Stop children from crying at night? Don't they know who Junior Brother Li's Master is?"

Everyone even felt that these few clowns were out to attract attention.

But after a brief search, there was no ambush nearby.

The Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were a bit confused for a moment and didn't immediately make a move.

"Heh heh, I know, it's hard for you to just let someone go without doing anything."

The person who called himself Jade Faced Flying Dragon puffed out his chest:

"How about this, I'll pick one person for a one-on-one fight, and then you'll know how powerful I am."

His gaze searched through the crowd.

As everyone knows.

Some people are born protagonists, more likely to be the center of attention.

Like Ice Cube.

He pointed his finger:

"Yes, that girl, come out! Come and witness this big shot's skills!"

Ying Bing: "?"

Li Mo: "....."

Jiang Chulong: "Li Dage, why are you covering my eyes?"

Li Mo sighed: "Children shouldn't watch."

The scene was quite brutal.

Even Ouyang, who had been quite angry, swallowed his saliva, feeling that those few clown assassins didn't deserve such a fate.

All the Qingyuan Sect Disciples looked up at the sky, consciously helping to keep watch.

Very quickly.

The heavily injured assassins were all subdued.

"Let's tie them up first," said Shen Yunfei, the eldest Senior Brother.

"I'm a professional at this."

Ouyang volunteered and went forward to tie them up.

A moment later.

A group of assassins were tied up in a turtle-shell bondage, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

And ashamed.

Li Mo: "Senior Brother, you're very skilled."

Ouyang scratched his chin and chuckled: "Heh heh, art comes from life... only practice can test the truth."

Li Mo: "....."

"How to deal with them?"

"Aren't these assassins claiming to have killed countless people? I don't think they're good people either, let's just kill them and rid the people of a menace."

"Hmm, it's good to kill such evil Devil Heads."

"I wonder why they were looking for me?"

Several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters discussed how to handle them.

The assassins looked at their turtle-shell bondage and recalled their experience of being abused by that woman... that Heavenly Demon Woman.

Who the hell are the evil Devil Heads?

Li Mo narrowed his eyes.

His Tianming Divine Eye swept over them.

【Name: Zhang Erdan】

【Age: 41】

【Bone Root: Toad Skin】

【Realm: 관신 Two Apertures】

【Evaluation: In the Wu Jian Trial ten years ago, he survived to the end by relying on his keen sense ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ of smell and pretending to be a corpse. He wrapped his whole body because his skin was ugly and pitted.】

【Recent Encounter: Ordered by the main Pavilion's Mountain Rain Approaching Order to go to Yunzhou City】

What kind of Bone Root is Toad Skin....

But that's not the point.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mountain Rain Approaching Order?

In other words, Rain Listening Pavilion has designs on Yunzhou?

It wasn't that he liked to meddle in others' affairs.

He and his companions would also be staying in Yunzhou for a while; if something big went wrong, they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Li Mo said:

"How about we temporarily control these few people, lock them up, and interrogate them?"
