Chapter 66, Underworld
The night gradually became deeper, the moon was hanging high, the breeze was rustling, and dozens of ghostly figures in black frolickered on the roof of the town, heading towards a hostel next to the town.
Dozens of men in black moved quickly and silently came to the roof of the hotel, looked at each other for a few times, waved their hands, and quickly sneaked into the room of the designated target.
I saw a man in black approaching the window silently, opening the window with a special method, entering the room instantly, and rushing to the bed a few flashes, piercing the body on the bed cleanly. However, there was no blood splattering in front of me. When I opened the quilt, there was no one on the bed.
As if he realized something was wrong, the man in black immediately exited the room.
At this time, a large fog suddenly rose outside the room. In just a few dozen seconds, the entire courtyard was covered with thick fog.
A young man's voice came from the thick fog and said, "There are 18 professional martial arts killers coming. They are so well-trained, regardless of their body skills or assassination opportunities. They are really a big deal! So many elite soldiers have been sent to assassinate a few of us ordinary mercenaries."
Cui'er: "Brother Mu, how did you know that someone would come to kill us tonight, and even let us hide in the courtyard in advance. When the killers came in, they didn't see us. It was amazing."
Guan Susu patted Cui'er's little head and said, "Idiot, you didn't see it. We are in the same formation now. How could those killers discover us?"
"Su Su, what you said is not completely correct. Due to time constraints, the formation I arranged is actually very simple. It is just a simple trapping array. If they observe carefully when they come in, they can still find some clues, but they are not careful enough."
The leader of the man in black looked at the thick fog in front of him and said, "The Young Master told me that the opponent this time is extraordinary. At first, we didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is indeed as the Young Master said. However, no matter what, you will still die today. Go and kill them."
With hearing, the man in black quickly locked the positions of Mu Chen and others. Even if the surroundings were filled with thick fog, these killers could accurately release spiritual power attacks, and their body skills were extremely fast and awe-inspiring.
Just when they thought they were about to approach their opponents and launched an attack, the only thing that appeared in front of them was just an open space. At this moment, two powerful arrow feathers shot from the thick fog, instantly piercing through the throats of the two killers. The trajectory of arrow feathers shooting was unaware of, and the sound was silent, which made the killers feel cold.
"This formation has no killing ability, and can only disrupt the opponent's directional perception and vision, and can also change the direction of sound propagation in the formation. It is the lowest-level trapping formation. If someone has some understanding of the formation, it will be easy to crack it! A kind reminder that in this formation, what you hear and see will be a little different from reality, so be careful."
Two arrow feathers appeared again, and two more killers were taken away. The killer leader saw two more teammates killed, and immediately shouted: "Retreat quickly, escape in dispersion, and quickly escape from the range of the formation."
In an instant, more than a dozen killers fled in scattered areas, and continued to shoot arrows and rain in the thick fog, shooting or injuring the escaped killers. These killers seemed to be birds locked in cages being shot at random.
However, the formation arranged by Mu Chen is not of high level after all, and it is not easy to make these killers circle around the formation. Several killers moved several times and finally successfully ran out of the formation. Just when these killers had not had time to be happy, Mu Chen punched them in front of their chests and sent them on the way.
Mu Chen shot the last killer leader with an arrow, ending their assassination plan.
"Brother Cheng, you go and deal with the bodies of these killers. I still want to go back and have a sleep."
"Yes...yes, follow the orders of Mr. Mu." Cheng Haotian now respects and fears Mu Chen, respects Mu Chen's powerful strength and is also afraid of Mu Chen's ability to predict the enemy's initiative in everything. In front of Mu Chen, Cheng Haotian did not even dare to have any ill intentions.
Just as Mu Chen was about to go back to the room to continue resting, Cheng Haotian suddenly took a token and walked to Mu Chen tremblingly, saying, "Young Master Mu! Look, this is found from those killers."
Cheng Haotian was holding a small black token in his hand. The token had the word "gold" engraved, and there were some swords engraved around the font, which looked quite exquisite.
"This token is quite exquisite. Could these killers come from a force that actually carries this token?"
"Mr. Mu, this is the token of the Shadow Organization, the gold medal killer. These killers all come from the Shadow Organization!"
"Ying? What a simple name." As he said that, he glanced at Wu Yong.
Wu Yong understood and said, "Young Master, the Shadow Organization is the largest killer organization in the Celestial Empire. It is a force that has suddenly emerged in recent decades. No one knows the detailed information of the Shadow Organization, but only knows that they are all desperate people who specialize in assassination, which is quite mysterious."
Mu Chen asked in confusion: "Killer Organization? I have only heard of 'Moon Night', but I haven't heard of the others. Moreover, the 'Moon Night' organization was wiped out by the Celestial Royal Family a few years ago."
"Young Master is right. The moonlit night has disappeared. The current underground world and shadow organization of the Celestial Empire are still very important. The entire empire is peaceful on the surface, but the underground world is undercurrent. The old prince once accepted the secret order of His Majesty the Heavenly King. He wanted to completely rectify the underground world of the empire, but he finally returned in disappointment, which damaged many soldiers of the Qianlong Army. Young Master, please be careful of these underground forces, especially the Tiansheng Sect!" Luo Cheng had seen the cruelty of the underground world and was clearer about these things.
"Even my father sent me back? It seems that the underground world of the empire is also full of dangers."
In the past, Mu Chen, except for staying in the military camp, rarely went out. Even if he traveled, he had many guards to follow him, so it was difficult to get in touch with the underground world, so he naturally did not know the cruelty of the underground world. As one of the most powerful forces on the continent, the Celestial Empire was naturally not as simple as imagined.
The Celestial Empire royal family is undoubtedly the most powerful on the surface, but the entire Celestial Empire has extremely vast territory and many places are out of law. If the royal family wants to be in charge of the jurisdiction, they are powerless. The killer organization like the Shadow Organization lives in these places. In the entire underground world, in addition to the Shadow Organization being famous, there are also many powerful organizations, such as the Tiansheng Sect, which is a religious organization that advocates the Divine Sect. They oppose royal power and are the biggest enemies of the Celestial Empire royal family. These people are all madmen. The royal family has tried to send troops to wipe out the Tiansheng Sect several times, but they have not succeeded.
Back then, the King of Heaven ordered the Zhenshan Palace to rectify the underground world, and the ultimate goal was the Tiansheng Sect. Unfortunately, Mu Chen's father failed and returned in failure. After that, the King of Heaven asked Mu Chen's father to go south and wipe out the Tianqing tribe army. He never came back after that!
Mu Chen later heard Xiao’s mother talk about these things, but he didn’t care about them at that time. Now, thinking about it, the forces that could make his father admit that they had failed must be extraordinary. If he had the chance, Mu Chen wanted to see them.
He glanced at Cheng Haotian with a fearful face and Mu Chen said, "Why, Brother Cheng is very scared."
"Mr. Mu doesn't know that the Shadow Organization has extremely ruthless methods. As long as it becomes their target, it will definitely chase it to the end, and even destroy the entire clan. Anyone who is blocked will definitely massacre all!" In remote places like Nanshan County, the influence of the underground world is even more profound. Many underground forces are demon-like in the hearts of the civilians.
"Don't worry, their target is me. Your appearance has not been revealed and you will not chase you." As he spoke, Mu Chen had returned to the room. (To be continued)
