On the Heavenly Origin Continent, the Dark Night Assassin organization’s size was colossal, arguably the first assassination organization on the continent.
mbers within this organization, although their strongest were generally only at the Daoist Master Realm. However, they were nurous, and they completed a variety of assassination tasks every day.
They had no good solution for targets in the Dao King Realm, but martial artists below the Dao King Realm were all their targets.
Now, Dark Night was under Gu Yang’s control.
When Donglin City was sealed off, there were thousands of guards sent by the Prince Manor to patrol the city, which made it very difficult for Dark Night Assassins to infiltrate. Gu Yang had also sent assassins into Donglin City many tis, but none of them had co back. Their fate was clear, they were either killed or captured.
But once Donglin City reopened, the Dark Night Assassins could flood in in large numbers. As long as they lay in ambush around the Jing Family Mansion, the opportunities would increase.
Even if the Jing Family holed up in the mansion, they could be killed at any ti.
Precisely because of this, Gu Yang was astonished as to why Donglin City suddenly opened up to unfamiliar adventurers.
"Young Master, the news has been confird. Donglin City has indeed opened up, and many adventurers have already entered successfully," said the elder who had just gone to scout, in a low voice.
"Uh-huh, it seems sothing has indeed happened in Donglin City."
"Heh heh... In that case, we can also enter the city to take a look. As long as we don’t take action, what can the likes of Zhou Shangyun do to ?" Gu Yang sneered.
He indeed could not directly strike at the Jing Family.
He could completely disregard Zhou Shangyun, but this involved the Holy Master of the continent. Moreover, the Ancient Family Ancestor had instructed that the Jing Family must not be exterminated openly.
There was too much entanglent, and Gu Yang was not soone who didn’t know restraint. Whatever he did in the dark was fine, but he couldn’t leave evidence in the open.
If he directly slapped the face of the Holy Master, the Holy Master would have to confront the Ancient Family Ancestor even if he did not want to beco enemies with the Gu Family.
Gu Yang intended to enter Donglin City, and the two Peak Dao King Realm powerful guards by his side had no objections.
Within Donglin City, the most formidable martial artist was only at the Peak of the Daoist Master Realm, posing no threat to Gu Yang. Moreover, Gu Yang had the protection of two Peak Dao King Realm powerful guards by his side.
Their power was enough to sweep through the entire Donglin City in a single day.
Safety was guaranteed!
As the three of them chatted casually, they prepared to head to Donglin City.
"Gu Yang?"
Suddenly, a voice rang in Gu Yang’s mind.
Gu Yang’s face changed dramatically when he heard the voice, and a bright glint condensed in his eyes as he carefully scanned the surroundings.
He then hesitated.
Because there seed to be no one around him worth his attention.
In fact, no martial artists had approached nearby at all. But what about the voice that had suddenly appeared in his mind? Moreover, the person had called out his na, evidently recognizing him, perhaps even knowing his true identity.
"Young Master, what’s wrong?" The two Peak Dao King Realm martial artists, noticing Gu Yang’s unusual behavior, asked at the sa ti.
"Two elders, didn’t you hear soone talking? That person called my na," Gu Yang asked the two elders, growing even more astonished.
It was clear from the two elders’ expressions that they hadn’t heard the voice just now. That ant only he had heard that eerie voice.
"Soone talking?"
"That’s impossible! I didn’t hear anything!"
"I didn’t hear anything either," the two said as they shook their heads and looked at Gu Yang with puzzled eyes.
Gu Yang frowned deeply.
Could it be that he was hallucinating? But that was crazy, would a martial artist at the Daoist Master Realm have hallucinations for no reason?
"Are you Gu Yang from the Gu Family?" Just as Gu Yang began to doubt whether he was hearing things, the voice rang out in his mind again.
This ti, Gu Yang’s body tensed up sharply, and a cold sweat broke out all over him. He was sowhat unsure just now, but this ti he was one hundred percent certain soone was speaking.
"Elders, be careful. Sothing’s happening," Gu Yang’s face turned extrely solemn.
The two Ancient Family Elders, although still surprised, seeing how serious Gu Yang was, also silently mobilized their Qi and vigilantly surveyed the surroundings.
At this mont, a shadow appeared in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it arrived near the three of them.
The arrival was naturally Jing Yan.
Just now, Jing Yan had released his Divine Soul to envelop Black Stone Town, planning to obtain Gu Yang’s whereabouts from so adventurers hunting Jing Family mbers. Unexpectedly, Gu Yang coincidentally ca to Black Stone Town.
At first, Jing Yan wasn’t certain that this person was Gu Yang, but the subsequent conversation between the three made Jing Yan almost certain of it.
The young one was Gu Yang. The older ones were Ancient Family Elders, arranged by the Gu Family to protect Gu Yang.
Seeing Jing Yan, both elders were slightly shocked. They now knew that Young Master Gu Yang wasn’t talking nonsense; there really was a situation.
"Gu Yang! Gu Family’s candidate Patriarch?" Jing Yan landed on the ground, looked at Gu Yang with an expressionless face and asked indifferently.
Gu Family Elders stood in front of Gu Yang, shielding him completely behind them, providing an almost fail-safe protection.
"Who are you?" Gu Yang didn’t speak, one of the elders asked sternly, his eyes coldly scanning Jing Yan.
He released his Qi, trying to sense Jing Yan’s cultivation, but he obviously failed, which made him more anxious. Jing Yan looked very young, much younger than Gu Yang, but he couldn’t sense any Qi fluctuations from him.
This defied common sense and was strange.
"It seems I haven’t found the wrong person," Jing Yan pursed his lips.
Beneath his profound eyes, hidden was a trace of cold killing intent.
"Exactly who are you? Just now, were you talking to ? Why did I alone hear your voice? How did you do it?" Gu Yang tried to calm his emotions and stared at Jing Yan as he asked.
Although Gu Yang was the Gu Family’s candidate Patriarch, he also didn’t know that Divine Thought could transmit sound.
On the Heavenly Origin Continent, generally speaking, only martial artists at the Saint Realm had Divine Souls powerful enough to consolidate Divine Thought. And Saint Realm martial artists no longer existed on the Heavenly Origin Continent, so it was normal for Gu Yang not to know.
If Gu Wanquan were here, he would probably know about Divine Thought. Of course, even if Gu Wanquan discovered Jing Yan’s Divine Thought, he would likely be shocked.
"It was I who spoke to you," Jing Yan nodded, "Gu Yang, you have committed an unforgivable mistake. You should not have co to Donglin City territory, let alone assassinate Jing Family Disciples."
"You haven’t learned from the lesson of Gu Xinghe!"
"If I were you, I would definitely stay inside the Gu Family and not co out. Of course, even so, you can’t escape fate in the end, but at least you could’ve lived a little longer." Jing Yan slowly shook his head.
Hearing these words, Gu Yang’s face changed again. This ti, there was evident fear in his eyes.
"Who are you, really?" Gu Yang still didn’t dare to imagine that the person in front of him was Jing Yan, the one who killed Gu Xinghe.
