Lin Xiao spoke without a tremor in his voice. He knew this person was also an existence beyond the God Realm.
How many existences beyond the God Realm were there within the Shadow Assassins?
How could such an organization be so powerful…
Why were they called Shadow Assassins?
If they wished, they could easily replace any sect in the Inner Realm, or even unify the entire Inner Realm by themselves.
The sweeping person seemed to sense Lin Xiao’s gaze. He looked up, his broom stopping.
"Stubborn fool."
This time, clear anger was evident in his voice.
The next second, Lin Xiao's Killing Intent Armor was destroyed.
Lin Xiao felt nothing, yet in an instant, his Killing Intent Armor was dismantled. In less than the time it took to breathe, another gash appeared on his body.
This time, Lin Xiao’s movements couldn't keep up with the man’s speed. His leg was cut open.
As if he felt nothing, Lin Xiao took another step forward, his body instantly enveloped by True Dragon Qi.
"I heard you are the chosen one of the True Dragon Qi," the old Daoist sweeping the floor said, looking at the True Dragon Qi surrounding Lin Xiao. He shook his head. "Someone favored by the Dragon Kingdom's destiny, are you challenging my patience? Even with True Dragon Qi protecting you, no one can stop me from killing you."
"Senior, I am just here to find number thirty-seven."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. The pressure was too immense.
He hadn't expected someone like this to be here. The gap in strength was so vast that it made him feel powerless.
"I know you are looking for him, but this is the headquarters of the Shadow Assassins, not your Dragon King's office. So, I call the shots here," the old Daoist said, extending a hand.
This was the first time he had extended a hand.
His hand formed into a claw, and with a grab in the void, he directly seized Lin Xiao's body.
Lin Xiao saw nothing, only feeling his body being bound.
"Who gave you the courage to barge into the Shadow Assassins' headquarters alone?" the old Daoist grunted, flinging Lin Xiao's body away.
If not for the mission, he wouldn't have killed.
"The wronged souls of my Lin family, dozens of them, in the underworld give me courage," Lin Xiao shouted back while struggling.
"Too many have fallen at the hands of the Shadow Assassins," the old Daoist narrowed his eyes. For a moment, his face seemed a little clearer. "If everyone came seeking justice, we'd be too busy."
"The Shadow Assassins only take money to do a job, nothing else."
The old Daoist's broom resumed its sweeping. He no longer bothered with Lin Xiao, knowing someone would soon arrive to kill him.
"I heard you don't act against those below the God Realm," Lin Xiao yelled. "Then I dare to ask, why did your Shadow Assassins kill so many innocent people from my Lin family! To this day, only I, Lin Xiao, and my grandfather have entered the God Realm!"
"...Who told you that rule?" The old Daoist seemed to frown, and a clear expression of displeasure appeared on his indistinct face.
"The rules of the Shadow Assassins, so many people have told me. But why, then, did all the innocent children and elders of my Lin family die!"
