Accidentally invincible!

The expression hidden beneath the mask became one of surprise.

But he still forced himself to stand there calmly.

He didn't move an inch.

The six Tian Gang assassins were all the same. Even when the other party spoke the name of one of the Tian Gang assassins, they showed no reaction, for they didn't know whether the other party's words were true or not.

"You know very well whether I'm telling the truth. But you've kept your composure, your mental fortitude is impressive. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Fan smiled, then pointed to another Tian Gang assassin and said, "Your name is Zhang Yun. Hmm, interesting. From your figure, it's hard to tell if you're male or female, but I know you're a woman."

The Tian Gang assassin exposed by Lin Fan felt deeply unsettled. Just who was this person, and how could they know such things?

Qin Yang stared at Lin Fan with his mouth agape.

A bit dumbstruck.

He was genuinely shocked by Lin Fan's move.

Was this truly knowledge, or just a wild guess?

But how could it be?

Even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe Lin Fan had guessed correctly.

"The two of you know in your hearts whether I'm lying. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to say much more. As for the remaining four, I'll name you as well."

"Zhang Guan."

"Li Dai."

"Gou Yi."

"Bond."

Lin Fan's expression was calm, as if he were merely discussing something ordinary. Then he took out a captured wild beast, lit a fire, and began roasting meat.

Qin Yang and Xiang Fei couldn't quite understand Lin Fan's actions, but seeing him roast meat, they simply sat down with him.

Lin Fan looked at the six Tian Gang assassins and said, "You can leave, or you can stay and have a proper discussion. I know you have many questions, but some things are beyond your comprehension."

His words carried multiple layers of meaning.

It was easy to let one's imagination run wild.

The lead Tian Gang assassin, Ji Chong, struggled to maintain his composure behind his mask, his eyes betraying a look of shock.

He used a Divine Skill to transmit his voice and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Rarely did he communicate with others, unwilling to form attachments. Any top-tier assassin lived by cutting off all ties—emotions would only hinder their perfection.

"True."

"Mine is, too."

"No mistakes."

The remaining five Tian Gang assassins all transmitted their confirmations.

They now felt utterly confused.

Just who was this person?

Why did he know so much?

"Boss, could he be some big figure from the organization, now disguised as an ordinary young man?" Zhang Yun transmitted her thought. A woman is a woman, whether an assassin or not—she'd read the Immortal Realm's romance legend *The Overbearing Immortal Venerable Fell for Me*.

After all, how could some who lacked cultivation talent but possessed literary flair survive in the Immortal Realm?

By indulging in fantasy, of course.

That scholar, after years of observation, had discovered that women were more inclined than men to purchase his books.

Thus, he targeted female readers.

Specializing in stories of overbearing Immortal Venerables falling for downtrodden female cultivators, which ultimately culminated in epic romances.

Once, during a mission, Zhang Yun had happened upon a copy. From that point on, she was utterly hooked, harboring such fantasies ever since. But naturally, she couldn't let anyone else find out.

Especially as a Tian Gang assassin, she couldn't be distracted by such things.

And yet...

There was one horrifying secret she'd told no one: she had captured that very scholar and imprisoned him in a remote mountain, forcing him to write novels based on her as the protagonist.

Because it made her more... immersed in the stories.

Ji Chong frowned. "Impossible."

Zhang Yun responded, "Boss, it's not impossible. Some powerful figures enjoy hiding their identities, befriending others, and revealing their true selves only in critical moments to shock everyone."

"Based on my calculation, this is highly likely. Otherwise, how could he have identified us at a glance, named us, and known our positions? As you know, only the true high-level members of the organization are privy to the names of every Tian Gang assassin—people we've never even encountered ourselves."

Ji Chong furrowed his brow, uncertain about how to proceed, though he felt Zhang Yun's words carried some truth.

"Should we question his origins directly?" Ji Chong asked.

Zhang Yun replied, "Absolutely not. If he hasn't revealed his identity, it's because he wishes to continue his act in front of those two. If we expose him, it will only anger him. Boss, you know how horrifying Tian Gang punishments are."

At the mention of those punishments, Ji Chong shuddered.

Indeed, it was an unfathomable terror.

At this moment,

Ji Chong looked toward Lin Fan, who was calmly roasting meat by the fire.

A surge of unease welled up in his chest, reinforcing his belief that this person was no ordinary figure.

After all, they were Tian Gang assassins.

A name that struck fear into all who heard it.

How many could remain so unruffled before them?

Qin Yang and Xiang Fei stayed vigilant, keeping an eye on the six assassins in the distance.

Suddenly,

they saw the six assassins approaching, and their bodies immediately tensed as they prepared for battle. Both of them readied their Holy Weapons to deal a devastating strike at any moment.

"Stay calm," Lin Fan said.

Qin Yang whispered, "Brother Lin, how can you stay calm in a moment like this? If you ask me, the right move is to take them down first!"

Lin Fan paid him no mind and instead looked at the approaching assassins. "What is it?" he asked.

"As you said earlier, killing is ultimately a business. And a business can be negotiated," Ji Chong said. His voice remained cold, but perhaps due to his speculated understanding of Lin Fan's identity, it carried a faint tremor.
