At the Celestial Blade Peak.
Lin Zheyu and Lee ngxi slowly descended from over two thousand ters.
Their pace was unhurried, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Not far from them, Tang Weizhong looked desolate and battered, his expression grim, as he glared at Lin Zheyu.
This ti, in front of so many eyes, showing such a miserable appearance made him utterly lose face.
"Zhengtao, kill him, help kill him!"
Tang Weizhong rasped out, sowhat hysterically.
As long as Zhao Hao is alive, his thoughts cannot be settled.
"Uncle, let’s go back. We cannot completely break ties with the Li Clan right now." Tang Zhengtao shook his head and said indifferently.
"But..."
Tang Weizhong wanted to say more, but Tang Zhengtao softly said, "Soone from the Soul-Calling Tower has already accepted the mission. The assassin is probably nearby."
"Zhao Hao’s life, leave it to them to handle."
"Hmph!"
Tang Weizhong shot Lin Zheyu a fierce look, then turned and left with Tang Zhengtao.
"Uncle, you were a bit reckless this ti, you shouldn’t have used the Secret Technique."
"After returning, you should rest in the family for a while."
"Using the Secret Technique twice in such a short period, burning your Essence, Qi, and Spirit — if you don’t recuperate properly, you might not even be able to advance to the Transforming Force in the future."
Tang Zhengtao whispered.
"Alright."
Tang Weizhong took a deep breath.
Calming the anger in his heart, he felt a bit regretful.
To vent his anger, he jeopardized his Martial Dao future; it was indeed foolish.
...
...
"Mr. Zhao, in the coming days, you should be careful."
"Given the Tang Family’s tendencies, it’s likely they will issue an assassination mission to the Soul-Calling Tower. Why not stay with the Li Clan for a while?"
"The assassination tasks from the Soul-Calling Tower have a ti limit. If they can’t succeed in six months, the mission fails."
"As long as you stay within the Li Clan, the assassins from the Soul-Calling Tower wouldn’t dare to act recklessly."
Lee ngxi suggested, noticing the murderous glance from Tang Weizhong.
Having witnessed Lin Zheyu’s talent and potential, he had thoughts of forming an alliance.
With Zhao Hao’s potential, if he grows, his future achievents would be limitless.
The Lee Family, being a business family, deeply understands the importance of connections.
Even if Zhao Hao doesn’t want to join the Li Clan, offering goodwill, forming a friendship, and giving so favor — these would be invaluable when Zhao Hao matures.
They had investigated Lin Zheyu.
Although they didn’t find information on the person themselves, they discovered Zhao Hao’s alias.
Based on the gathered information, Zhao Hao’s character is quite decent.
He even risked his life for his pet, which shows he values relationships deeply.
This kind of Martial Artist, who values relationships, is most suitable to associate with.
"The Soul-Calling Tower?"
"Are they strong?"
Lin Zheyu asked curiously.
He had been in the Central Plains for quite so ti, yet this was the first ti he heard of this na.
"Very strong."
"The Soul-Calling Tower has many assassins; it’s said they even have Innate Realm Martial Artists."
"But they follow rules — if you survive their assassination attempts for six months."
"Or if you counter-kill three Soul-Calling Tower assassins in a row, the assassination mission is canceled, and they won’t take any more assassination tasks for that Martial Artist."
"Mr. Zhao, you don’t have to worry too much. If the Tang Family truly issues an assassination task, just stay within the Li Clan for six months, and there won’t be any problems."
Lee ngxi said with a smile.
He did not take the assassination from the Soul-Calling Tower too seriously.
For these noble family mbers, if they are truly on the assassination list of the Soul-Calling Tower, they only need to hide in the core areas of their family for a period, and there will be no problems.
"A proper assassin organization, following such rules?" Lin Zheyu said in surprise.
"They have to, the Soul-Calling Tower also needs to survive."
"Even behind the Soul-Calling Tower, there is strong backing, but without these rules, they would have been eradicated a long ti ago."
"Besides those two rules, there’s another one, that is, only Martial Artists of the sa major realm can take on an assassination task."
"It is these few rules that allow the Soul-Calling Tower to take on any assassination mission without fear."
"For those noble families and sects, dodging an assassination task is simple, just hide in the core areas of their family, don’t go out for six months, and it’s done."
"Those facing an assassination from the Soul-Calling Tower but still daring to wander outside are mostly intending to use the assassins to temper themselves."
"So sect geniuses even issue assassination tasks on themselves to give themselves pressure."
Lee ngxi shrugged, saying with a smile.
Lin Zheyu: "..."
Lin Zheyu blinked, feeling that he had gained so knowledge.
"But don’t underestimate the Soul-Calling Tower. Although they are restrained by rules, their assassins are extrely powerful."
"Every assassin is the top existence within the sa realm."
"Those weak in strength have long been eliminated, those remaining are Martial Artists with unparalleled strength."
Lee ngxi added.
"Mm, thank you for the reminder."
"Then I might have to bother Mr. Lee for the next six months." Lin Zheyu said.
The strength he displayed made people believe he was a Bone Marrow Refining Realm Martial Artist.
The Soul-Calling Tower would surely send top figures within the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, possibly even those at Tang Zhengtao’s level.
Lin Zheyu had fought with Tang Zhengtao, and even when using Secret Techniques, he ca close to being heavily wounded.
This was enough to show the terrifying nature of their strength.
Staying within the Li Clan, the next six months could be used for focused cultivation to gradually improve his strength.
Having been on the road, exposed to the elents, Lin Zheyu hadn’t had the opportunity for concentrated cultivation in a while.
Moreover, he also had plans to build a good relationship with the Li Clan.
Lee ngxi’s invitation was a great opportunity.
