"Impossible, what I felt just now - is definitely not wrong! Just now, there must be a powerful person behind me." Xia Yan, who was hiding under the bush, took a slight breath.
"Hey, that feeling is gone!"
Seeing that no one appeared, Xia Yan expanded his five senses to the limit, but the weird feeling just now disappeared completely quietly. In other words, Xia Yan could not feel that person at all at this time.
"Did he leave?" Xia Yan's eyes flashed before he walked out from under the bush and looked in the direction behind him.
Official roads are still empty.
Because it was still early in the morning, not even some carriages and horses could be seen. Silence filled the sky and the earth, with only the occasional chirping of birds and animals coming from the mountains and forests.
At this time, the native dog also ran back quickly, and his green eyes followed Xia Yan's gaze at the official road with white mist in the distance.
"Just now, there was a person following us, right?" Xia Yan looked at the native dog and said slowly in a deep voice.
"Woo~"
The native dog grinned, revealing its ghastly sharp teeth, and nodded its head a few times.
"Forget it, since he has left, maybe it's just a coincidence that he wasn't targeting me. Well, we should go do our own thing. I'll find a secluded place first and then use the potion, so as not to be disturbed by anyone inadvertently."
Yan's eyes turned to Yushui Mountain.
Xia Yan has been very familiar with Yushui Mountain for a long time. There is probably no place in front of or behind the mountain that Xia Yan has not been to. After practicing on Yushui Mountain for a year, Xia Yan knows every terrain in the mountain very well.
"Whoosh~"
Two gray shadows rushed towards Yushui Mountain quickly. The steep mountain road seemed like flat ground under the feet of the two shadows.
…
Xijiafuyuan!
On the long street in front of the main entrance, a black figure hurriedly walked towards the main door of Xi's house.
When the four Xi family guards in front of the door saw this man, they all bowed and saluted, and then lowered their heads to let the man in black enter the mansion. This man wore a dark golden mask on his face, and his exposed eyes occasionally flashed.
Very murderous.
Just a glance at him can make people shudder. However, most of the time, his eyes seem to be hidden under the mask, and others cannot see his sharp eyes at all.
When you glance over, you won't feel strange, nor will you have any unusual impression. It seems like you are seeing an extremely ordinary person.
After the man in black entered the courtyard, he walked quickly in the courtyard of the Xi Family Mansion. Soon, he went from the front yard to the backyard. In front of a yard facing the gate of the backyard, the man in black gradually slowed down his running speed.
This courtyard is where the head of the Xi family, Xi Potian, lives.
Outside the courtyard gate, there were also two capable Xi family guards guarding it.
"Lord Su Li!"
Both guards saluted respectfully.
"Well, I want to see Patriarch Xi!" Su Li raised his hand slightly, and a low, hoarse and thick voice came from his mouth.
The two guards looked at each other, and then said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, I will inform the clan leader right away!"
After saying that, a guard turned around and quickly entered the courtyard.
Su Li stood outside, his body motionless, waiting quietly, like a tree stump. The other guard who was still standing outside the yard secretly looked at Su Li from the corner of his eye. Suddenly Su Li's eyes flashed, and the guard looked
When he saw Su Li's eyes, his whole body was shaken, he lowered his head in a hurry, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
"Huh!" Su Li snorted coldly.
"Lord Su Li, the clan leader wants you to go in quickly!" The guard who went in to report quickly ran out of the courtyard and said to the man in black, clasping his fists.
Su Li's figure flashed, and no movement was seen. His body started to flutter strangely, and he entered the courtyard gate in an instant.
When the two guards saw this scene, their eyes widened and they were so shocked that they could not speak. They only felt that their eyes were blurred, and Su Li disappeared. When they looked again, Su Li had already arrived in the yard. If this Su Li
Breaking in by force, they had no time to stop him!
"Haha, Mr. Su Li, are you in such a hurry to come to me? Could it be that you already have good news?"
Xi Potian walked out of the bedroom, laughed, and looked at Su Li, the man in black, with his eyes flashing.
Su Li nodded slightly and looked around.
The smile on Xi Potian's face grew wider, but his voice was much lowered. He pointed to the room on the right, "Let's go to that room to talk. Hey, Mr. Su Li is indeed well-deserved!"
The two of them arrived in the room and closed the door.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Mr. Su Li would bring me good news less than a day after arriving in Yushui City!" Xi Potian chuckled and looked at Su Li expectantly.
Su Li then narrowed his eyes and whispered hoarsely: "Clan Chief Xi, you asked me to assassinate Xia Yan, the candidate patriarch of the Xia family, but you did not tell the true story of Xia Yan."
"Oh?" Xi Potian said in surprise, "Mr. Su Li, what do you mean by this?"
Xi Potian frowned and made calculations in his mind.
"Humph, Chief Xi, I came all the way from Ziye City. Last night, I stayed outside the Xia Family Mansion all night, but I didn't find a good opportunity. The Xia Family Chief is very powerful. Until today.
I just saw that Xia Yan come out in the morning, but he had a phantom wolf with him!" Su Li snorted coldly.
"What? Phantom wolf?" Xi Potian was shocked.
Immediately, Xi Potian suddenly thought of the rumored news.
A few days ago, Xia Yan brought a dog to bite off the arms of Ma Sang and Xu Yangshui in Xiajiafang City. Everyone said that it was a very powerful dog. But now Su Li actually said that it was a phantom wolf!
Although the phantom wolf is not a spiritual beast, it is definitely a very ferocious beast. It is also very good at speed and is very difficult to deal with. Even a spiritual master will find it difficult to kill it.
Xia Yan actually raised a phantom wolf?
"Clan Leader Xi, when we met last night, you didn't provide me with this important information. Huh, if I were an ordinary person, I would just walk away. But for the sake of Patriarch Xi, I came back to inform you.
." Su Li's speaking rhythm slowed down, and there was no trace of anger in his tone, and his hoarse voice returned to indifference.
Xi Potian continued: "Mr. Su Li, I really don't know about the phantom wolf. Mr. Su Li, are you sure that is a phantom wolf and not a local dog?"
Xi Potian still couldn't believe it and pondered slightly.
Su Li looked at Xi Potian and sneered coldly: "I, Su Li... I have killed countless people and encountered countless wild beasts. Could it be that I can't tell the difference between a native dog and a phantom wolf? That one
Although the phantom wolf looks ugly, it is definitely a ferocious phantom wolf. It is very fast."
"In the morning, I have been following Xia Yan. He took the phantom wolf straight to Yushui Mountain before stopping. Moreover, the phantom wolf seemed to have discovered my existence." Su Li said, staring at Xi Potian.
"Clan Leader Xi, you almost made a big mistake by not telling me the news. You should know my rules!"
Xi Potian was secretly shocked. Of course he knew the rules of people like Su Li.
Su Li is a very outstanding assassin. Many of the people who died in his hands were strong men in the realm of spiritual masters. Although it is very expensive to ask him to assassinate, the efficiency is extremely high. However, like this
The first thing a killer cares about is the reward, and the second thing he cares about is the information about the assassination target, all the information.
Xi Potian didn't tell Su Li about Tugou, so it's no wonder Su Li was angry.
"Mr. Su Li, this matter is my fault." Xi Potian lowered his head rarely, his eyes flashed, "However, I really didn't know that it was the phantom wolf. Everyone in the city was saying that it was a local dog.
.I wonder, does a local dog have to tell Mr. Su Li?"
"I hope Mr. Su Li can understand! And don't feel bad about it!" Xi Potian's face became condensed again, "However, even if there is a phantom wolf by his side, it can't hinder Mr. Su Li, right?"
Su Li's strength is more than enough to kill some spiritual masters. He is extremely good at concealment and assassination. Although he is only as strong as a mid-stage spiritual master, even some late-stage spiritual masters may be killed by him in one strike!
"A phantom wolf really can't hinder me. However, with the phantom wolf by my side, the difficulty of killing Xia Yan will be greatly increased." Su Li smiled coldly, "Chief Xi, if the mission continues, the price will have to be increased.
Fifty thousand gold coins!”
Xi Potian gritted his teeth, his eyelids twitched rapidly, and anger welled up in his heart.
However, could he refuse Su Li's request at this time? If so, Su Li might turn around and leave.
"Kill Xia Yan, you must not give up now. That bastard Xia Feilong bought the spiritual liquid, and the possibility of Xia Yan's innate breakthrough will be greatly increased. If we don't get rid of it now, there will be endless troubles in the future!" Xi Potian's heart
Thoughts rotate rapidly and eyes change continuously.
Seeing Xi Potian's gloomy face, Su Li stopped talking and just waited for Xi Potian's final decision.
"It's related to the survival of the Xi family, so spending an extra fifty thousand gold coins is nothing!" Xi Potian's face gradually returned to normal, and he said to Su Li with a smile on his face, "No problem, as long as Xia Yan can be killed, the reward will be as per
There is no problem with what Mr. Su Li said."
"Originally, the remuneration we negotiated was 200,000 gold coins. I have already paid 100,000 gold coins to Mr. Su Li. After the completion of the matter, I will pay the balance to Mr. Su Li. The original balance of 100,000 gold coins has now become 100,000 gold coins.
Fifty thousand." Xi Potian smiled and said, "Mr. Su Li, are you absolutely sure? There can be no accidents in this matter."
Su Li nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sinister smile, "Hey! Chief Xi, please rest assured, and please prepare 150,000 gold coins. Under my Spirit Snake Dagger, that Xia Yan will definitely not
Live past noon."
Xi Potian also smiled when he heard the words "Spirit Snake Dagger". According to legend, Su Li's Spirit Dagger is a rare magic weapon. It is not known what material it is made of, but it is extremely sharp and indestructible. This one
The dagger is also a priceless treasure. Many people have speculated that the dagger is made of special ore.
