Chapter 324: The Assassin of the Misty Rain Tower_2
Lin Beichen's heart suddenly moved.
Could it be... this person isn't a comrade of the other assassins, but simply because their targets are all within this venue, they appear here?
"In the same venue, moving towards me before the incident occurred..."
Lin Beichen looked down at Qing Yinqi, a strange gleam in his eye.
The other assassins charged at him for Qing Yinqi, while this assassin's target was him alone.
Seeing Lin Beichen remain silent, the assassins' faces immediately showed a look of triumph.
To them, Lin Beichen was already scared stiff, lacking even the courage to respond.
"Did Yan Yu Lou send you?"
The woman, narrowly escaping a calamity, immediately came to Lin Beichen's side, leaning against Qing Yinqi.
Her face looked extremely unpleasant, as if the very mention of Yan Yu Lou posed a significant threat.
"Big sis, what's this Yan Yu Lou organization?"
Qing Yinqi, not understanding, asked softly.
"Yan Yu Lou is a professional assassin group. Over the past three years, they've committed over a hundred brutal murders, none of which have been solved. I never expected they'd dare cause trouble in the Imperial Capital.".
The woman spoke coldly, her hand gripping the gun, veins bulging.
Despite her stern demeanor, Lin Beichen could detect a trace of fear in her voice.
The Imperial Capital's guard strength was robust, but it was also a massive city with a fixed population of tens of millions and a daily throughput of even millions.
This city was so huge that no other place in the world could match its scale.
Offering timely support in such a city wasn't simple.
The enemies came on fiercely, numbering a dozen or more.
If Lin Beichen hadn't performed astonishingly, catching these assassins off-guard in an instant, she wouldn't have been able to withstand Yan Yu Lou's first encounter.
Lin Beichen's expression remained indifferent.
These assassins were mere small fry, not worth his intervention. Even Zhongcheng Hall alone was sufficient to handle them.
"Little bitch, didn't expect you to know so much. Today, no matter what, we can't let you escape. You're our first target in the Imperial Capital."
An assassin sneered, his eyes lecherously roaming over the woman's figure, his smile perverse.
The woman felt her body tense, as if bitten by a venomous snake.
As the assassins grew bolder, an indolent voice suddenly rose from the crowd.
"I don't care who you are, kneel right now, sever an arm to apologize to me, and then confess the true culprit. I'll spare your life."
Lin Beichen said casually.
What interested him was the final assassin. The others were mere ants, not worth his notice.
This hidden assassin had almost completely masked his presence. If Lin Beichen hadn't cultivated a Golden Core, his Perception keen enough, even his Decayed Resurgence Body wouldn't have detected the enemy.
It should be known that under the Decayed Resurgence Body, Lin Beichen had nearly reached the Mystic Sect Realm as described by Qin Wenwu.
In this realm, Lin Beichen had the power to cause natural disasters single-handedly.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was even comparable to an Immortal at this level.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. This person's cultivation isn't high, but his technique for concealing his presence is astonishing, a natural-born killer."
Lin Beichen reflected.
"Kid, I know you're not weak, but Yan Yu Lou is one of the strongest assassin organizations in the mainland. If you dare block our way again, don't blame us for retaliating."
The Yan Yu Lou man, accustomed to arrogance, stared at Lin Beichen, directly threatening him.
Lin Beichen glanced at him, speaking nonchalantly:
"Yan Yu Lou is so famous. Could it be there's a Death Gate expert among you?"
"A Death Gate expert?"
"Kid, do you think Death Gate experts are sold like vegetables at the market? There are only so many in the world. While we don't have any in the Death Gate Realm, we do have experts above the peak!"
Hearing this, Lin Beichen looked at the other side, lost for words.
"You don't even have anyone in the Death Gate, and you dare act arrogant before me?"
Lin Beichen sighed.
"Even Qin Wenwu wouldn't dare act so arrogant before me. You must truly be tired of living."
Qin Wenwu?
Yan Yu Lou's assassins' faces suddenly changed.
As an assassin organization, Yan Yu Lou always kept an eye on martial affairs.
Recently, the most famous thing in martial circles was the duel between two Grandmasters.
At the Jiangnan Water Village, the duel between two Grandmasters was earth-shattering, ushering in a new era.
Qin Wenwu died tragically on the spot, while the other left unscathed.
According to rumors, this person was around twenty, from the Imperial Capital, and dressed like a student.
Yan Yu Lou's assassins looked at Lin Beichen with terror.
Incredible power, appearing twentyish, dressed in casual student attire...
All descriptions matched the person before them exactly.
With a bang, the assassins knelt suddenly, kowtowing repeatedly.
Someone who could kill Qin Wenwu could easily dispatch them with their meager cultivation.
Qing Yinqi stared blankly at the assassins, question marks flashing across his forehead.
Weren't these people assassins? Why did they suddenly kneel and kowtow?
The woman widened her eyes, almost thinking she was in a dream.
As a member of the elite guard team of the Imperial Capital, she knew very well the danger of Yan Yu Lou's assassins.
In the past three years, Yan Yu Lou's members had committed various bloody crimes everywhere.
The most brutal incident involved wiping out the entire family of twenty-seven people of their target.
In the past two years, Yan Yu Lou was one of the key targets in their security crackdowns in the Imperial Capital.
To hunt down Yan Yu Lou's members, the guard team had sacrificed over 20 lives.
Even so, they had only caught a few small fry, without knowing the names or structure of the formal members.
And these members, clearly formal, knelt to beg mercy upon hearing Lin Beichen's name.
Who exactly was this person?
She kept staring at Lin Beichen, unable to figure out what was so frightening about him.
Qing Yinqi was also surprised.
She knew Lin Beichen and even admired him, but Lin Beichen, in her eyes, was just a talented student.
But now, she found... Lin Beichen wasn't that simple.
"Could it be Senior Lin has a more powerful identity?"
Qing Yinqi speculated.
"Speak, who sent you to kill Qing Yinqi?"
Lin Beichen asked the assassins coldly.
What good would a few ants kneeling do him?
Thinking begging for mercy could save their lives, only Qin Wenwu had the qualification for that.
And even then, not the initial Qin Wenwu, but the one who reached the Celestial Gate Realm after battling him to the end, Chen Wenwu.
The assassins trembled, the face of the apparent leader, a pale man, whitish with fear. Hearing Lin Beichen's words, he immediately said:
"Mr. Lin, Yan Yu Lou only takes orders without asking who. The other side offered 50 million for Qing Yinqi's head."
Hearing this, Qing Yinqi nearly fainted.
Who on earth would pay such a high price for her life?
Not just killing her, but demanding her head?
Qing Yinqi knew the entertainment circle was brutal, but she never imagined it could be this severe.
The woman frowned deeply.
Even in the Imperial Capital, a 50 million bounty was astounding.
Besides, was Qing Yinqi worth that much?
"If you want to live, say the name."
Lin Beichen said coldly.
Did they think they could trick him with some assassin industry rule?
This excuse might fool others, but trying such a childish pretext on him was like treating him as a naive child.
Assassins always investigate!
Lin Beichen slowly raised his hand.
Seeing Lin Beichen about to kill, the assassins finally realized the seriousness.
Either reveal the issuer's identity or die here.
Under crisis, the assassin closed his eyes and immediately uttered a name.
At that moment, as the name was revealed, Lin Beichen felt Qing Yinqi's hand tremble, and her face turned ashen.
If not for Lin Beichen supporting her, Qing Yinqi could barely stand.
