Cultivation Pet Shop

While the figures in the dark cloaks had been caught off guard, they still didn't do anything rash like taking Lin Fan's challenge.

After a slight pause to process what had happened, the leader called Shi Yan to report since this situation was just too strange.

Once the situation was explained to Shi Yan, there was a slight pause from Shi Yan's side before he said, "Take care of him. He's giving you a chance, so make it quick and clean so that no one can track it to you. I'm sure you can handle that, right?"

The leader could hear the slightly challenging tone in Shi Yan's voice, but he didn't mind it as he said, "It'll cost extra."

Shi Yan gritted his teeth as he said, "Fine. If you can get this done, you'll get what you deserve."

The leader revealed a faint smile when he heard this before saying, "Alright, consider it done."

When he was about to hang up, Shi Yan's voice quickly said, "Don't forget that you can't touch the girl. If even a single hair on her head is out of place, none of us can afford the consequences, do you understand?"

This time, the leader didn't speak casually as he said in a serious tone, "I got it, you don't need to worry about that."

Without waiting for Shi Yan, he hung up decisively.

With a wave of his hand and a few signals using his fingers, the people in dark clothing spread out on the rooftop around the alley, taking out long ranged weapons. In their line of work, guns were considered too messy and too loud, so what they used were bows instead.

Arrows imbued with life energy were much stronger than bullets alone anyway.

There were a few of them that also summoned pets that sat on their shoulders, releasing life energy that entered the bows.

Once everyone was in place, the leader of the group jumped off the roof to land at the entrance to the alley while another member of the group jumped to the other side to block off the other entrance.

The other person stayed by the entrance blocking it off while the leader moved in towards the carriage.

Lin Fan and Murong Yue completely ignored the person who was standing at the other end of the alley as they turned to the one moving towards them. Seeing that he moved closer, both of them pulled out their weapons and looked like they were on alert.

Seeing that he wasn't stopping, Lin Fan asked, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"

The leader just calmly looked at the two of them and based on his eyes, it was clear that there was a smile on his face, but he didn't say a thing.

Only when he was only a few steps away from them did he say, "I'm the person who will kill you now."

Then without any warning, he suddenly charged forward, pulling out the sword that he had been hiding behind him the entire time. In one quick and smooth motion, the sword cut right through the air in an arc around him before slashing right at Lin Fan's throat.

Lin Fan revealed a look of panic when he saw this and he quickly raised his weapon to block it, but seeing this, the leader felt even more confident. He didn't bother holding back just in case and started using more life energy as his sword moved faster.

It seemed like the slash of the leader's sword was about to cut through Lin Fan's dagger and then his neck, but then before it could, it was stopped by the dagger. There was the sound of metal clashing before the dagger that Lin Fan was holding cut right through the sword.

As soon as it happened, the leader's eyes popped out and he tried his best to stop himself, but it was already too late.

Lin Fan's other hand had already formed a fist that was covered in three different glows that landed right in the face of the leader. The leader didn't even have time to react as he felt the pain that came from in front of him before being sent flying back.

Lin Fan had aimed down with his punch, so instead of sending the leader flying right out of the alley, the leader went right into the ground and slid across it before stopping right at the entrance of this alley.

Murong Yue had already expected this, but she still couldn't help being surprised by how powerful Lin Fan was. Even if it was her, she wouldn't have been able to take care of this person that easily.

Lin Fan turned to look at her and asked, "Aren't you going to give the signal?"

Murong Yue looked at Lin Fan in a daze before suddenly saying, "Oh, right!"

Then she turned to her wrist and said into her watch, "Do it now!"

As soon as she gave the command, there were even more people that appeared on the roof. Unlike those people in black, these people were dressed completely in red.

The people in black had been surprised by how easily Lin Fan had taken care of their leader that they weren't able to react in time, but then they realized that this was a trap that had been set for them and immediately ran off in different directions.

There was no loyalty between these people, they were just assassins that had been gathered for a job, so this group was nothing more than a temporary one. No one felt obliged to help anyone else and they all scattered to give themselves the best chance of survival.

It was just too bad that they were outnumbered by the people in red.

There were two that turned after realizing that they were outnumbered, thinking that they could use their strength to force their way out. After all, all of the members of the assassin group were Child Soul Realm Experts.

What they didn't realize was that they hadn't been able to sense these people in red at all, which clearly meant that they were much more powerful than them.

As soon as these two assassins attacked the people in red, the people in red revealed their cultivation.

These two assassins were only in the Low Child Soul Realm while the two people in red chasing them were both in the Mid Child Soul Realm.

They shot their arrows which were easily dodge before they were knocked out with a single hit from the two people in red.

The other assassins realized that they couldn't win when they saw this and all tried to run, but it was too bad that every person in red was at least in the Mid Child Soul Realm, which surpassed their cultivations.

The only other Mid Child Soul Realm assassin was the person who had blocked the other side of the alley, but he had been surrounded by three different Mid Child Soul Realm Experts.

This person was one of the top Gold Ranked Assassins of the Assassins Association, so his battle power was greater than normal people in the same realm. The only problem was that not a single one of these Mid Child Soul Realm Experts were normal people.

These people in red were the special Scarlet Strike Team of the Hunters Guild, which was all made up of hunters. These were people that had passed the Hunters Exam, an exam that only took the best of the best, so not a single one of them was a normal person. They were all far stronger than normal experts in the same realm.

Just one of them would have been enough to take care of this Gold Ranked Assassin, but when there were three of them, it wasn't even considered a fight.

In a matter of a few minutes, all the assassins had been subdued by the people in red clothing and had been placed in a pile in front of the beast carriage.

After they had all been gathered, two of the people in red picked up the Gold Ranked Assassin who had been ganged up on and brought them in front of Murong Yue.

Murong Yue looked down at this person and tore off his mask to reveal an old man with a sharp face. She slapped this old man to wake him up and when he did, he immediately started struggling, but the people in red easily subdued him.

Murong Yue looked down at the old man for a few seconds before saying, "Who sent you?"

The old man looked right at her without any fear, but he didn't say a thing.

Murong Yue slapped him two more times before saying again in a stronger tone, "Who sent you?"

The old man didn't even flinch after being slapped twice and he looked right into Murong Yue's eyes as he said, "Is there a point in answering?"

After he said this, he was about to spit right at her, but the two people in red forced his head down so that he would spit onto the ground.

Then once he was done, they allowed him to look up again as Murong Yue said, "There's no need to be like this, it doesn't have to end the way you think it'll end. As long as you work with me and answer a few of my questions, you can go free."

The old man revealed a smile as he said, "You and I both know that won't happen."

Then he spat out again, but this time it was smoke that came out.

After he spat out this smoke, he suddenly shouted, "Now!"
