Chapter 112 - What a Good Heart

The fire in the cave produced a slight crackling sound as the last bit of the fire was extinguished. However, it did not wake the duo who were cultivating.

In the dark night, a figure quickly ran towards the heart of the forest.

“Leader, the Emperor left the Shenlu Mountain this morning.”

“What's going on? Isn't it supposed to be up to the Chinese Festival? ” a masked man asked in a hoarse voice.

“This subordinate doesn't know, but everyone in the palace has left.”

“Bang!” The masked man smashed the table beside him. “Why didn't you say so earlier?”

They had been busy for a month for tomorrow, but now they could not even catch a shadow.

“Yes ...” They suddenly left this morning, so it will take at least half a day for the news to spread through the mountain. This subordinate has to confirm once more before he dares to come back and report. “

“Since the mission is not completed yet, let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow! Send a message to the employer and return the deposit. “

“Leader, is this okay? We have never had a failure before! “

“Pah!” The masked guy slapped him, “Do you really think we can catch up to the palace and stab you? “Even if you have the guts, you still don't have the guts to do it!”

“Yes, this subordinate understands!”

“Go down.” The masked man waved his hand irritably and sat down on the wooden stake, deep in thought.

A black-clothed man walked up to him from behind. He was also wearing a mask on his face. His build was well-built and he held a bow in his hand.

“Then, the wild beasts that we've captured with much effort are useless. Should we let them go?” Accompanied by the black-clothed man's question, the roars of tigers and wolves came from behind him.

The masked guy looked back at the animals in the cage and shook his head. “No need. Don't let our brothers go there for nothing. We'll sell them!”

The man in black under the mask frowned, “That's not easy to do. There are guards at the foot of the mountain. Although we have a secret passage, it's not easy to get so many large animals out.”

“Are you stupid? It's fine as long as you kill them and bring out valuable items. Who wouldn't want tiger meat?”

The man in black thought about it and agreed, “Then I'll get someone to give these animals some medicine. It's too noisy.”

“Up to you.” The masked man wasn't in the mood to care about such trivial matters. He got up and went into a small tent, contemplating how to reply to his employer.

He knew that the person who dared to hire them to assassinate the country's lord was definitely not an ordinary person. It was one thing that things were done, but if he didn't succeed then he'd have to be careful not to get bitten by his employer.

Fortunately, they did not know their employer's identity. There was a layer of protection, and perhaps the other party would not make things too difficult for them.

Of course, if the other party really wanted to fall out with them, then at most, they would just die. Their Sky Piercing Sect s were not a place for them to be slaughtered easily.

It had been several hundred years since Sky Piercing Sect had existed, and it had grown from the earliest mob into the number one Evil Sect in the martial arts world. On the surface, it was still a big businessman, but very few people knew that Sky Piercing Sect had secretly groomed a group of elite assassins.

“Strange, why is it that the more we walk, the quieter it becomes? Could it be that all the animals in the mountain have gone to rest?” Teng Yu brought Yin Xu and walked for an hour before the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the forest.

Yin Xu subconsciously raised his guard. Compared to the place he passed yesterday, this area was way too abnormal.

Teng Yu shared the same thought. The two looked at each other and took light steps at the same time.

“Do you want to continue walking?” Teng Yu asked.

Yin Xu nodded, he did not have the thought of retreating.

The two of them continued in the same direction, but at the same time, they sped up. At the same time, they enlarged their five senses, maintaining a constant state of vigilance.

“Leader, someone is coming this way.” At the edge of the canyon, a man in black came to report.

“Who is it?” Didn't the Emperor withdraw? Why are there people entering the mountain? ” The reason they dared to set up camp in the depths of the Shenlu Mountain was because they understood that very few people would venture into the depths of the mountains to hunt.

“At the moment, I don't know. They are just two young men. One of them is just a young man. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he should be a descendant of a noble family in the capital.”

“It's most likely because some playful person doesn't want to go back like this, that's why they decided to secretly stay behind. Let's settle this, we don't want them to find out about this place.” The masked guy spoke in a natural tone, as if killing two people was as easy as slaughtering chickens and ducks.

“Yes.”

Seeing that there were more than twenty people, the masked man instructed the remaining people, “Go and pack up. We will set off in four hours.”

“Wait a minute!” Yin Xu pulled Teng Yu's arm and stopped in his tracks, then brought him to retreat behind a tree.

“Someone's coming?” Teng Yu whispered into his ear.

“It sounds like footsteps. I'm not too far away yet, so let's wait and see.”

Teng Yu pressed the person against his chest and listened to the sounds around him. The mountain was too quiet, to the point that he could hear every sound clearly.

The two of them hid behind the tree trunk for half a cup of tea before they finally heard it loud and clear. Sure enough, there were people heading their way, and there were quite a few of them.

“Why are there so many people in this mountain?” The two of them looked at each other, expressing the same doubt.

Teng Yu shook his head, indicating that he did not know either, “What do we do?”

Yin Xu sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: “There are no Invisibility Symbols, we can only see what kind of people they are. These people must have some sort of scheme hidden in the mountains, I think we've been discovered.”

“Then in case they start fighting, don't try to show off. If you can't beat them, then run. They have a lot of people.”

“You don't need to say that.” Yin Xu was not the type of person who cared about face.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was getting slower and slower. Clearly, the other party was also afraid of alerting them.

After holding their breath for a while, the two of them were finally able to see each other's figures. All of them were dressed in black, and their faces were covered.

Both of them looked at each other as they held their daggers in their hands.
