Chapter 66 - Another Hidden Family?

"You want to assassinate me with just this?" Andy's red eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him, whose entire body was suspended in the air and trembling furiously.

The figure struggled to speak. "N...No,"

When he heard that voice, Andy's eyes narrowed and his lips curled up. As he lifted his hand to remove the mask of that figure. A sharp dagger appeared beside his head.

However, a smirk appeared on his face as the time around him slowed down.

The dagger seemed to have come to a halt in its tracks.

He turned his gaze to another masked figure in a black full-bodysuit wielding a dagger at him.

He shook his head, took a step back, and turned to face the figure suspended in the air.

Since Andy was holding it by the neck, it appeared that the figure was unaffected by the slowing of time.

"Did you think I didn't know there were two of you?"

And he shook his head in lamentation, "I gave you the chance to show yourselves. At least you would have had a chance of fighting with me properly."

"Anyway, let me show you something."

He turned to face another masked figure who was frozen in place and grabbed the dagger from its grasp.

'Clank'

As he tossed the dagger to the side, he took off that man's mask. What he saw in front of him was a middle-aged man with grey hair and a scar running from his right eye to the corner of his lips.

Andy's eyes narrowed as he grabbed the man's head, whose ferocious eyes were locked on him.

Suddenly, the man began to age. His grey hair had turned white, and wrinkles filled his face. The man suddenly transformed from a middle-aged man to an aged ancestor, taking one step into his coffin.

The man started disintegrating. Slowly his whole body turned into particles and merged with the surrounding, only a little figure similar to that man hovered in the air. The figure seemed to be in shock, but was still affected by the flow of time.

Andy grabbed the little figure and clenched his fists to destroy that figure. The figure turned into small particles and disappeared from the face of this world.

Andy licked his lips. "I didn't know that someone would send a Soul Formation Cultivator to kill me. I am honored."

"D...Demon," but his gaze was drawn to another masked figure when a trembling voice reached his ears.

A smile spread across his face, his gaze was fixed on the figure in front of him, "Demon? No No. I am not a Demon. I am just someone who should not be provoked, otherwise. Leave it. Did you like it? Did you like the way your partner turned into the particles? Do you want to experience it? I think you should. You will really enjoy it. You should not miss this once in a lifetime experience, isn't it?"

He removed the mask from the figure in front of him with his other hand.

As soon as he removed the mask, he saw a fair, oval-faced woman, her shocked hazel eyes fixed on him, her short silver hair drooping down over her shoulders.

Andy's eyes flashed as he noticed the woman in front of him. "I had no idea that someone would also send a lovely lady to serve me. I think you're lucky that you'll be warming my bed. It's been a long time since I've tasted a woman."

But a bad feeling rose in her heart when she noticed the man in front of her wearing a wicked smile. He was her target, but she had transformed into a sheep, ready to be devoured by a fierce wolf.

Many memories flashed through her mind, and a tear trickled down the corner of her eyes as he attempted to bite her tongue and end her life. She couldn't even imagine the torment she'd have to endure in the future.

But as she opened her mouth slightly, Andy grabbed her jaw and dislocated it.

'Crack'

Andy's smile faded. "You want to die? But how can you die if you don't answer my questions? Do you think I'm a fool for letting you go so easily?"

Pain flooded her mind, and panic gripped her heart; she couldn't imagine how this man would torture her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she reflected on her pigheadedness in accepting this mission.

"But you know what? I'll give you a chance, "Andy said to her as a slightly larger white pill appeared in his hand.

A confused look appeared in her eyes, but before she could think of anything, Andy made her swallow the pill, which dissolved as soon as it reached her throat.

A small pill appeared on Andy's hand, which he swallowed himself.

Suddenly, a connection appeared to form between him and that woman.

Feelings of loyalty and reverence replaced fear and hatred in the woman's heart.

The flow of time returned to normal.

Andy's gaze was fixed on her for a moment before a small white pill appeared in his hand, which he fed into her before releasing his grip on her neck.

'Thud'

She fell to the ground, but she didn't seem to mind as he rushed to fix her jaw. The pill seemed to be effective, as all of her pain disappeared.

She was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly stood up and bowed to Andy.

"Master,"

Andy nodded slightly. "Now tell me about yourself. What is your name? Who sent you?"

"My name is Xu Yue. I am from the Xu clan." She replied slowly. Her eyes were filled with worship as she looked at Andy.

Andy's brows furrowed when he heard that.

"Xu Clan?"

Seeing his perplexity. She responded quickly.

"The Xu clan is one of the hidden families in the lower world, but our ancestors are from the upper world."

"Hidden Clan?" Andy's eyes narrowed as he remembered the Imperial Concubine's ties to some hidden clan.
