In the Li family in Yandu, there is an antique study room.
Li Mu put down a thick ancient book in his hand, looked at the housekeeper who was standing in front of the desk, and asked calmly: "How is the madman's injury?"
The housekeeper said solemnly: "Dr. Duanmu has already treated the madman. He will be cured within a month without leaving any sequelae."
Li Mu nodded: "How about the other thing?"
"The killers from the Black Gold Empire have arrived in Xingnan City and followed the little thief into the primeval forest to wait for an opportunity."
The Black Gold Empire, the Dark World, and the Bauhinia Knights are known as the three major killer organizations in the world. Among them, the Dark World Network has the most killers, but they are all uneven. The Black Gold Empire follows the route of elite soldiers, and all its killers are masters. .
Moreover, the assassination success rate of the Black Gold Empire is frighteningly high, so far it is 99%. Of course, the price of inviting them is also extremely high.
As for the Redbud Knights, there is a relatively different assassin organization. The targets they assassinate are all extremely evil people. If the other party is a good person, no matter how much money they are given, they will not accept the task.
"How strong is the opponent?" Li Mu continued to ask.
"The head of the family can rest assured about this. The opponent ranks ninth in the Black Gold Empire, and his strength has reached the sixth level of innate strength."
Hearing this, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you won't disappoint me this time!"

After having breakfast and packing their bags, Song Yan and his party continued on their way.
After a day of adaptation, today's speed has improved a lot compared to yesterday. At the end of the day, we have traveled more than 150 miles. It is expected that we will reach the destination before noon tomorrow.
Set up camp, have dinner, and leave one person to guard.
Others returned to their tents to rest.
After Song Yan entered the tent, his face suddenly became a little colder. Since this morning, he had sensed that someone was secretly following them.
The other party's tracking methods and concealment skills are very good. If he didn't have the magical power of clairvoyance, it would be difficult to find the other party.
He was a short, middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance. After Song Yan checked the zhenqi in the other person's body through fluoroscopy, he was almost certain that the other person should be a sixth-level innate warrior.
The six innate levels are not as good as the innate five levels.
Once it reaches the sixth level, the true energy will rise qualitatively and condense the innate energy.
The attack power of the innate Gang Qi is extremely strong, and the defensive power is also extremely high. Even missiles may not be able to break through the defensive shield formed by the Gang Qi. This shows how perverted the warriors who have condensed the Innate Gang Qi are.
It was precisely because of this that Song Yan did not tell Jingyan and others about the expert following him.
He had a hunch that the person who was secretly following them was coming after him.
But the other party followed him for most of the day without taking action. He speculated that the other party would choose to take action at night.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the man lurking two hundred meters away from the camp still made no movement.
Song Yan couldn't help but want to ask him: "What are you waiting for, why don't you take action?"
The time came to four o'clock in the morning.
The man was still lying there without moving. Song Yan had to admire him for his really strong endurance.
This is when the human body is most tired.
It took little Ben Qiaoyi eight years to raise his ranking from the Black Gold Empire to ninth. He was very proud of this. The higher the ranking, the higher his worth. For example, the assassination he received this time The mission commission of one young genius reached 100 million US dollars.
But when he was secretly tracking and observing the mission target, he felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were spying on him secretly.
He believed in his own consciousness.
Because of this invisible sense of prying eyes, he never chose to take action. He even doubted whether there was an expert secretly protecting the mission target.
However, he has never been able to find the master he guessed.
"Should we take action?"
Xiao Ben Qiaoyi was very confused.
In the end, he chose to give up.
In his many years of career as a killer, trusting his instincts has saved him from danger many times.
"Nima! Why are you leaving?"
In the tent, Song Yan was dumbfounded when he saw Xiao Benqiao retreating. He didn't understand what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
After exiting a few kilometers, the invisible prying disappears.
Suddenly, Xiao Benqiao let out a breath of turbid air. It seemed that there was really an extremely powerful master protecting the mission target.
I can't even find any clues. The master who protects the mission target must be very powerful.
"Damn employer, you didn't tell the mission target that there is a strong person guarding you!"
Cursing secretly, Xiao Benqiao contacted the headquarters of the Black Gold Empire.
After receiving repeated assurances from Xiaoben Qiaoyi, the Black Gold Empire reported the news to their employer and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Butler, was that successful?"
Looking at the housekeeper who came late at night, Li Mu asked in a deep voice.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Master, there is news from the Black Gold Empire that the little thief is protected by experts, and their killers cannot attack!"
"Could it be that the Zhao family sent someone to secretly protect the little thief?" Li Mu frowned, seeming to be talking to himself or asking the housekeeper.
"During this period of time, my subordinates have not relaxed their surveillance of the masters of the Zhao family. There is no sign of any masters above the sixth level being dispatched!" The steward's face also showed some confusion.
"Which of the top ten families has thousands of years of heritage? It's not easy to cultivate a few secret chess pieces! It seems that the old guy Zhao Changsheng used the family's secret chess pieces for that little thief!" Li Mu said with gritted teeth.
"Then what's our next step...?" the housekeeper asked carefully.
"Since Zhao Changsheng has used Dark Chess, let's use it too!" As he spoke, Li Mu quickly wrote a message on the paper, and then handed the butler a black token: "You take the token to see him, Tell him that if he kills that little thief, I will be clean with him from now on!"
Seeing the name on the note, the housekeeper's expression changed slightly: "Master, do you really want to use this person? Is the price too high?"
"You are still too short-sighted! You don't understand how terrifying that little thief's talent is! Go ahead and do as I say!"
"Yes!" The butler put the note away and left.
Although the master retreated, Song Yan still did not dare to sleep.
What puzzled him was that the other party never appeared again until dawn.
After breakfast, we packed our bags and set off again.
"Hey, what does this smell like? It smells so good?"
The outer disciple who was leading the way took two deep breaths and felt refreshed.
"I smelled it too, it smells really good!" As he spoke, Que'er's eyes moved around, trying to find out the source of the fragrance.
"This scent...?"
Song Yan narrowed his eyes. After inhaling the fragrance, he felt that the essence in his body was a little more active. He dared to conclude that the fragrance emitting must be the legendary elixir. (To be continued)
