Chapter 141: Ye Lü Lü

  "What I said is the ranking of their strength! The strongest is Phantom Assassin, followed by Drow Ranger, and the weakest is Ursa."

  Here, among the three major assassination organizations, the Phantom Blade and Blood-colored Orchid, as well as the Sanctuary Warriors, are all old brands. The Night Blade has only developed for over a hundred years, yet it has already risen to become the second-largest assassination organization. If not for some unexpected events that occurred later, I'm afraid the Night Blade would have surpassed the Phantom Blade by now! Old Zhuang said this with a hint of pride in his voice.

  "The Blood-colored Elegance is extremely mysterious, with a small number of members, all of whom are female assassins. It's not easy to get them to take action. The Temple Knights have the most branches and the most assassins, with personnel coming and going in droves, and they're also the least discerning when it comes to taking on tasks."

  "So that's how it is." Lin Feng nodded, "I didn't expect a small place like Wulin City to have such a powerful assassin at the level of a martial artist! Assassin organizations really are everywhere!"

  "In the dark night, south of the Tian Nan mountain range, there is only this one point. In such a desolate land, none of the four major assassination organizations would send a truly powerful person."

  "How did you know?" Lin Feng asked.

  "I've said it before, I'm the ancestor of all killers!" Old Zhuang laughed and said.

  "The Four Great Assassin Clans are so formidable, it's probably easy for them to destroy a sect!" Lin Feng exclaimed.

  "Like the three major sects south of the Tian Nan mountain range, it's indeed very simple." said Zhuang Lao Dao, "Any mid-level branch of the four major assassin organizations can complete such a task. However, without a commission, assassin organizations won't kill anyone."

  "What if there's a commission?" Lin Feng blinked his eyes.

  "With a sly smile, Lao Zhuang said: 'In the words of my hometown, that means there's no hurdle that can't be crossed and no one who can't be killed!'"

  "In other words, as long as I have enough money, I can even hire a killer organization to wipe out the Kunyu Sect?" Lin Feng laughed.

  "Little one, what are you thinking?" Zhuang Lao hummed, "Having money is naturally possible, but the price is too outrageous. Relying on spending money to hire a killer to destroy the Kun Yu Sect? The amount of money spent could be used to establish a dominant sword sect!"

  Lin Feng was completely speechless.

  Kun Yu Sect is just a low-level sect, but Ba Dao Men is a mid-level sect on the mainland. The money that can build a Ba Dao Men can only destroy a Kun Yu Sect? The price of this killer organization is obviously not ordinary!

  "The underworld has its own rules, and we assassins are actually the ones who value lives the most. If it were easy to take a strong person's life for just a little money, wouldn't this world be in chaos? Low-priced killers do exist, but they're all incompetent guys who can't even be called assassins!"

  Assassins value life the most? Lin Feng couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.

  Zhuang Lao really lives up to being the ancestor of assassins, and he doesn't blush at all when flattering himself.

  "Aren't you still not convinced?";Zhuang Lao naturally knew what Lin Feng was thinking, and snorted,"A true killer would never kill people randomly like ordinary strongmen. A high-level killer kills far fewer people in their lifetime compared to a strongman of the same level. As for killing out of anger, killing out of resentment, killing to vent one's emotions, or killing innocent people to release frustration - these are things that a true killer would never do. Listen up, kid, I'll tell you this: since becoming a killer, I've killed fewer people than you have up until now, and it's not even one-tenth of the number!"

  Lin Feng was speechless, and upon careful consideration, he realized that since the annihilation of the Hengshan bandits, he had indeed killed quite a few people. Zhuang Zhi only killed true experts, which made it somewhat believable.

  …………

  Zhuang Lao also came with enthusiasm, carefully telling Lin Feng the stories of the Four Great Assassins' organization, those most famous assassins' techniques, and Lin Feng was also listening with relish.

  After traveling over a hundred miles along the highway, I could see a range of towering mountains in the distance. The people and houses on both sides of the road became fewer and farther between, and the Tian Nan mountain range was approaching.

  Wàn Shòu Town is located at the border of Luó Yún Sect and Kūn Yù Sect, not far from Tiān Nán mountain range. This place no longer belongs to Luó Yún Sect and Kūn Yù Sect, but has its own order.

  The price of exotic beast blood is exorbitant, and those who come here are all powerful individuals with a large amount of wealth. However, the orderliness of this place is still quite good.

  Because here, there are many powerful people hiding in secret. Wanting to rob wealth here is to take a great risk.

  Lin Feng arrived at Wan Shou Town and directly found a common inn called Hei Zi Jing to stay.

  The town didn't seem to be very big, and the people living here were all ordinary mountain villagers. There seemed to be no powerful individuals, yet the aura of exotic beast blood lingering in the air was a reminder to Lin Feng that this place was home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

  Here, Lin Feng didn't dare to recklessly use his sensing abilities to probe. For a strong person like him, this was extremely rude and provocative behavior. In this place, he could only be low-key, without the capital to be arrogant.

  Those who dare to trade in the blood of exotic beasts and those who dare to venture deep into the Tian Nan Mountains to hunt them, how can there be any weaklings?

  Lin Feng wasn't very old, but in these three months, he had grown even more robust, his shoulders broader and thicker, looking like a real man now, and among the crowd of this small town, he didn't stand out awkwardly.

  After settling down, Lin Feng went to the room upstairs and settled in. He also came to the large hall downstairs, ordered a big cup of Shanquan wine, a specialty of Wan Shou Zhen, and slowly started drinking.

  Although it's called Mountain Spring wine, it's actually a dark brown **. Lin Feng also knew that it was mixed with the blood of exotic beasts, which is also a custom in the Tian Nan mountain range.

  He didn't feel uncomfortable drinking this kind of wine. Of course, the main purpose of coming here was not to drink, but to gather some information. After all, he had just arrived here and everything was unfamiliar to him. Inns like this were exactly the best places to gather information.

  At the next table sat a slender young man, who looked about the same age as Lin Feng. He had been drinking from a cup of mountain spring wine for half a day. When he saw Lin Feng sit down, the young man walked over with his almost empty wooden cup and smiled at Lin Feng: "Cheers, big brother!"

  "Ah!"; Lin Feng nodded slightly and lightly raised his wine cup.

  The young man sat down opposite Lin Feng and lowered his voice: "Big brother, can you help me with something?"

  "What's wrong?" Lin Feng said.

  "It's just the cost of this drink, I want you to help me pay for it!" The young man said with embarrassment. "Damn it, I wanted to have a drink, but found out that I didn't bring any money today. In a place like Hei Zi Jing Inn, not paying for drinks can get you killed!"

  "Is it that serious?"; Lin Feng smiled faintly, "Put it on my account then!"

  A cup of mountain spring wine for ten gold coins, he wouldn't mind. Besides, he also wanted to hear some news about the Beast Town from the young man's mouth.

  "Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!" The young man said repeatedly, then looked at the bartender who had been staring at him from behind the counter and smiled, "Did you hear that? This glass of wine is on this big brother!"

  The bartender snorted disdainfully and stopped looking at him, continuing to mix the drinks in front of him.

  "Big brother, is this your first time here? My name is Ye Lü Lü, what's yours?" The young man said with a smile.

  Lin Feng

  "Lin Feng big brother, after finishing the wine, I'll take you to a place that will surely broaden your horizons!" Ye Lü Lü said with a mysterious smile.

  "Huh? Where are you going?" Lin Feng looked at this young man, secretly on guard in his heart.

  "Don't worry, this is Wan Shou Town, the security is very good, and I'm not a bad person." Ye Lü Lü smiled and said, "Don't believe me? Ask Brother Winekeeper!"

  You think you can be a bad guy just because you want to? You gotta have the skills for that. Thin Wine spat out his words.

  "Thank you for the compliment!"; Ye Lü Lü smiled slyly.

  Lin Feng also felt a hint of curiosity in his heart, nodded and said: "Alright, after I finish this cup, I'll go with you."

  He quickly finished the wine in his cup and called out to the waiter: "Check!"

  "There are a total of 1,010 gold coins." The waiter bowed and said.

  "Isn't it ten gold coins a cup?"; Lin Feng was shocked.

  "The mountain spring wine you drink is naturally ten gold coins a cup, this guy drinks golden mountain spring wine one thousand and one cups, a total of one thousand and ten." The waiter looked at Lin Feng with a sympathetic face.

  Lin Feng looked at Ye Lü Lü, and Ye Lü Lü smiled: "Big brother, you promised!"

  Lin Feng bitterly smiled and shook his head, got it, can't go back on one's word after all. Originally thought it was just ten gold coins, paid for it then, didn't expect it to be a thousand gold coins!

  Looking at the smiling young man with a mischievous look, Lin Feng's heart also had a hint of dislike. A guy who plays with cleverness like this is really detestable.

  After paying with gold coins, Lin Feng followed Ye Lvgreen out. The two of them wandered around the streets for a while before stopping in front of a dilapidated residential house.

  "Big brother, come with me!" Ye Lü's voice was mysterious.

  "Is this what you're talking about?"; Lin Feng was stunned.

  "Come on in!"; Ye Lü Lü smiled and walked in first.

  Lin Feng looked at the residential house, which was very old and remote, but there were not a few people coming and going. Some people came out with a sigh, while others had a happy face.

  There were a lot of people in such a place, and Lin Feng wasn't afraid that Ye Lvgreen would play any tricks, so he followed her in.

  After entering the door, there is a spacious staircase that winds down to the underground, and people coming and going are all passing up and down the stairs.

  Lin Feng followed closely behind Ye Lü and walked down the stairs. After turning a corner, it suddenly became extremely noisy.

  Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Feng was also stunned!

  This is a huge circular space with a sunken area in the middle, about thirty zhang in diameter, surrounded by heavy railings.

  In the empty land, a youth wearing animal hide held a short knife and was fiercely fighting with a leopard-like beast. The youth's body was already covered in blood, while the beast's body was also full of wounds.

  The empty ground was surrounded by layers of wide and high platforms, on which sat a large number of men and women, with wine cups in front of them, all shouting loudly with excitement. The entire space was filled with the smell of alcohol and the breath of blood.

  Ye Lü seemed extremely familiar with this place and quickly walked towards a young man leaning on the railing.

  "Quickly, bring a thousand gold coins!" Ye Lü Lü smiled and stretched out her hand towards the young man.

  "What! The young man turned his head and glanced at Ye Lü Lü."

  "Is there really a fool willing to spend 1,000 gold coins to invite you to drink the Golden Mountain Spring wine at the Black Purple Thorn Inn?"

  "Ah, it's this Lin Feng big brother!"; Ye Lü Lü smiled mischievously and pointed at Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng smiled wryly and nodded: "I'm that idiot."

  "Take it!"; Qi Ming let out an unhappy hum, flipped his hand and tossed out a money bag, "Here!"

  Yè Lǜlǜ giggled and took over the money bag.

  Lin Feng looked at this strange young man and was also speechless. He hadn't spent a single coin, yet he had drunk a cup of fine wine worth 1,000 gold coins and even made a profit of 1,000 gold coins. This move was indeed admirable.

  Ye Lü Lü smiled and walked towards Lin Feng, tossing the pouch of money over: "Lin Feng big brother, your gold coins are returned to you!"

  Lin Feng took over the money bag, also slightly stunned.

  "Ah! Leafy green, you two are in cahoots with each other!" Another young man beside Qi Ming shouted out loud.

  "Meng Qiu, what nonsense are you spouting!" Qi Ming scolded, "If Ye Lü's words can't be trusted, then no one in Wan Shou Town is worth believing!"

  Ye Lü Lü glanced at Meng Qiu and smiled at Lin Feng, saying: "Lin brother, how is it here? Isn't it very exciting?"

  As they spoke, a miserable cry suddenly came from the ground. The beast-skin boy finally ran out of strength and was caught by the fierce beast with one claw on his head, half of his brain was scratched off. The strange beast pounced on the boy's body, biting and tearing desperately, while the men and women around them were even more excited and shouted.

  "That's too much!"; Lin Feng helplessly shook his head.
