Hidden Dragon Inn, one of the largest inns in White Dao Prefecture’s capital city.
It can be sumd up as raking in money daily and being overcrowded, which is no exaggeration!
More importantly, Hidden Dragon Inn is under the influence of the largest gang in the prefectural city, the Celestial Sea Gang.
Therefore, the innkeepers at Hidden Dragon Inn are generally elders of the Celestial Sea Gang, Martial Artists above the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.
And the current innkeeper of Hidden Dragon Inn is the third elder of the Celestial Sea Gang, Mo Songshi, who is a Martial Artist with Marrow Refining Realm Perfection.
At the inn’s counter, the person managing the inn is not Mo Songshi.
Instead, it is Mo Songshi’s son, who is also a steward of the Celestial Sea Gang, Mo Yongcheng.
At this mont, a few voices suddenly rang out from outside the inn’s crowded entrance.
"Move aside, the governnt is investigating!"
"Everyone step aside!"
The next second, the bustling inn entrance instantly cleared a path.
"Governnt?"
Mo Yongcheng at the counter saw this commotion and furrowed his brows, feeling sowhat displeased.
This is the Celestial Sea Gang’s territory; hasn’t the gang leader already talked to those people from the prefecture office?
Hidden Dragon Inn gives a share of profits each year to that Prefect!
So why would governnt officials still dare to cause trouble at Hidden Dragon Inn now?
Outside the inn, seven tall and upright middle-aged n, with stern expressions, wore uniform brocade outfits, each with a sword at their waist.
And the man leading them was wearing a sapphire blue brocade outfit, expressionless as he walked toward the inn’s counter.
"Are you the innkeeper?"
"Have any strangers appeared in the inn? Take us to find them."
Seeing the imposing manner of the people in front of him, Mo Yongcheng almost exploded with anger, but when he saw their brocade outfits, his temper subsided.
This is the Profound Bird Guard?
Realizing that the other party was the Profound Bird Guard, Mo Yongcheng’s fierce face imdiately showed a submissive expression.
"Please wait, esteed officials."
"I’m not the innkeeper; I’ll go fetch the innkeeper."
It’s over; sothing big is happening.
Why would the Profound Bird Guard co to Hidden Dragon Inn!
You should know that recently, the gang leader gathered all mbers above steward rank.
And there’s only one reason.
That’s to ensure none of them provoke the Profound Bird Guard upon seeing them.
Violators will be expelled from the Celestial Sea Gang and might even have their martial cultivation abolished!
The inn’s first-floor back hall is where the innkeeper Mo Songshi resides.
Currently, Mo Songshi is lounging on a recliner, with several Celestial Sea Gang mbers in front of him.
Mo Songshi on the recliner is blissfully resting with his eyes closed.
However, Mo Songshi hasn’t enjoyed this calm for too long when he was startled by a panicked voice from outside.
"Father!"
"The Profound Bird Guard has arrived."
"What!"
Upon hearing the words Profound Bird Guard, Mo Songshi abruptly opened his eyes and jumped up from the recliner, rushing to Mo Yongcheng.
On the second floor of Hidden Dragon Inn, inside a relatively spacious guest room suite.
Five n in simple, low-key black outfits were gathered around a large table.
"Sheng, the person who gave us three thousand taels of silver belongs to the official of White Dao Prefecture."
"How did the Lu Family Pharmacy in Qingyun County offend such a big figure!"
"Could it be a trap!"
These five were from Yanyu Building, hired as assassins by Luo Jinghe for three thousand taels.
Those who beco assassins live a life on the edge, licking blood from the blade’s edge, so those who survive are generally smart.
During each transaction, they secretly send a couple of people to discreetly follow the hirer.
Then, based on the hirer’s identity, they learn about the background of the target, ensuring their own safety.
The person in the main seat looked like a fifty-year-old man, the leader of these assassins.
He pondered the doubts raised by his subordinates.
"Perhaps!"
"A pharmacy that can make an official personally intervene is certainly not simple."
"However, our rules at Yanyu Building dictate we cannot easily abandon a task, otherwise the master won’t let us off the hook."
"Let’s go to Qingyun County to secretly observe this Lu Family Pharmacy."
"If they’re not strong enough, we’ll deal with them imdiately!"
"Esteed officials, there are five strangers inside here."
"These people have been staying for five or six days; I’ve suspected them for a while now."
"Please, esteed officials, feel free. If I, Mo Songshi, can assist, I will do my best for you all."
Outside the guest room suite’s door, nurous shadows blocked the way.
Among them, the third elder of the Celestial Sea Gang, Mo Songshi, spoke in a flattering tone, softly.
He showed no concern for the inn’s rule of not divulging guest information.
The reason for Mo Songshi’s humility was entirely due to the gang leader’s instructions.
Hence, facing the Profound Bird Guard’s inquiry, Mo Songshi didn’t hesitate to betray the people inside the guest room suite.
Inside the guest room suite, the five naturally heard Mo Songshi’s voice and their expressions changed.
Among them, the leader sitting in the main seat didn’t hesitate at all and suddenly sprang to action.
In an instant, he drew the sharp blade from his waist and swung it at the inn’s wall.
"Quick, flee separately!"
"et at our usual spot!"
As for why, it’s because their identity was exposed.
The fact that they survived till now naturally shows they have extraordinary caution.
Just after accepting an assassination mission, soone has already co for them.
This can only an their identity was discovered; what else could it be.
"Hmph!"
"Trying to escape!"
"Seems it’s correct, they really are Yanyu Building people!"
"Leave your lives with !"
As the leader assassins cut through the inn’s wall, the guest room suite’s door suddenly kicked open.
A barely visible afterimage shot in from the outside, chasing after the leader assassin.
All of a sudden, the guest room suite only had four pale-faced assassins left.
They looked terrified, staring at the seven people surrounding them.
These six people wore pure white brocade outfits embroidered with a black Profound Bird emblem.
As assassins of Yanyu Building, they road widely, knowing almost everything.
So, the identity of these six was obvious!
They were the Profound Bird Guard!
Utterly dood!
The four assassins from Yanyu Building were bewildered, feeling utterly confused.
The Profound Bird Guard transcends worldly matters, usually ignoring mundane affairs; why would they target such small figures as themselves?
While these four assassins from Yanyu Building were dazed.
Two Marrow Refining Realm Perfection and four Bone Marrow Refining Realm power surged forth.
