Pew!
The moment the gun with the silencer sounded, a bullet was shot from the muzzle.
It was directed at the back of the head of the man who was sitting on the sofa whom Bai Chen thought was Wang Chengye.
Of course, the person sitting there was not Wang Chengye, but Wang Cheng Yong!
Wang Cheng Yong did not seem to be alarmed, even though he’d asked ‘Who’s there?’ right when he heard the door open. He did not seem to care. He did not turn to look.
Thud!
Suddenly, a sound rang out. It was not very loud, but loud enough for Wang Cheng Yong to give a start, jump up from his seat, and turn back.
Bai Chen’s eyes widened. He was standing in the air slightly above the floor with the help of his stargazing walker technique.
The reason why he was surprised was that the noise just now had come with green spirit qi that deflected his bullet back. That was why it had made that sound!
‘The spirit qi of a cultivator!’
Bai Chen could not help but think this. Only cultivators could use the spirit qi to do this.
It was similar to that of Tai Yang the Strange, which Bai Chen had seen before.
Crash!
While Bai Chen was standing still, the crash of something shattering could be heard. It was the jade ring that Wang Cheng Yong was wearing on his finger.
It was obvious what had protected Wang Cheng Yong from Bai Chen’s bullet. It was ‘a cultivator amulet’.
‘A cultivator amulet’ was a special item that could protect the wearer from danger one time. Only cultivators who were at the sky soaring level and above could create it.
The jade ring on Wang Cheng Yong’s finger that had shattered just now was one of these cultivator amulets!
And at the moment when the jade ring on Wang Cheng Yong’s finger shattered…
Inside the secret room at the top of the Wang family’s mansion, a bald old man with a white beard, who was meditating silently with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were those of a person who had seen a great deal in his life. They were very calm.
“I didn’t expect anyone to have the temerity to try to assassinate a Wang family member while I, the great Foo Yen, am residing here.”
The old man Foo Yen spoke. He slowly got up and swept his psychic power around the mansion.
“Hmm?” Right when he started to spread his psychic power around to search for the assassin, he could not help but frown.
“Why can’t I see the trespassing rat?” Foo Yen’s facial expression started to change “How is this possible? I’m a sky soaring realm cultivator!”
It was obvious from these man’s words that he was also a sky-soaring cultivator like the old man Xu Sien Yi of the Xu family.
However, he was not a member of the Wang family. He was just indebted to the former head, so he’d promised that he would protect the Wang family members.
Otherwise, a sky-soaring realm cultivator like him, one of the very few in China, would not be here at the Wang family’s home.
“How is it possible?!?” the old man Foo Yen continued. His facial expression gradually changed.
The reason why the old man Foo Yen acted like this was that he could not detect the intruder with his psychic power, even though he was a sky soaring realm cultivator.
It was only normal that he could not detect Bai Chen. Bai Chen was still invisible.
The invisibility ring was a special item that he had gotten from the amazing Life Changing System. There was no way for a sky-soaring realm cultivator could detect the wearer.
Not only sky-soaring realm cultivators, but those at the legendary or even the divine realm would also see the same result.
It was because all the special items from the Life Changing System were miraculous and beyond the regular senses.
“Or is it a cultivator?!?” the old man Foo Yen burst out before sweeping his psychic power outwards again.
He finally knew that the target of the assassination was Wang Cheng Yong and that he was in the first living room. His face was as white as a sheet. There was nobody else inside the room but Wang Cheng Yong.
“There must be somebody else inside.” Foo Yen’s facial expression was still calm, even though he still had not detected the intruder. He thought that somebody must be inside the first living room with Wang Cheng Yong.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for his amulet to shatter.
He did not hesitate to rush to the first living room.
In the blink of an eye, a gust of wind swept the old man Foo Yen off his feet.
It was clear this was the power of a sky soaring realm cultivator.
.....
“I have to hurry. The invisibility ring’s time limit is almost up!”
Bai Chen spoke so softly that he was the only one who could hear.
He looked ahead. Seeing that the energy curtain of green spirit qi that deflected his bullet had vanished, he did not hesitate to shoot again.
Pew!
The noise of the gun with the silencer sounded. The bullet rushed out of the gun.
“AGHHH!” Then, a pained cry filled the room.
The bullet easily pierced through Wang Cheng Yong’s chest. Blood gushed out of his wound.
Wang Cheng Yong’s face turned even paler before his body fell to the ground without him being able to control it.
‘I…I have been shot!’ That was the only thing that Wang Cheng Yong could think of right now.
No, he did not just think that he was shot. He had actually been shot!
It was a little unbelievable for him, but the pain and the blood from the wound on his chest were real.
Even though Wang Cheng Yong’s face was quite pale, indicating his pain, it was also full of surprise.
The surprise did not come from the fact that he had been shot, but rather ‘how’ he had been shot. There was nobody else in the room.
How could he not be surprised that he had been shot?!?
One of his hands covered the wound on his chest. There was a lot of blood.
At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Bai Chen in the guise of a middle-aged security guard.
It was obvious that the invisibility ring’s time limit was up!
