"Impossible, what I felt just now—absolutely can't be wrong! Just now, there must be a powerful person behind me." Xia Yan, who was hiding under the bushes, took a slight breath.
"Hey, that feeling is gone!"
Seeing that no one appeared, Xia Yan spread his five senses to the limit, but the weird feeling just now disappeared completely quietly. In other words, at this moment Xia Yan couldn't feel that person at all.
"Did he leave?!" His eyes flickered, and Xia Yan came out from under the bushes, looking in the direction behind him.
The official road is still empty.
Because it was still early in the morning, I couldn't even see some chariots and horses. Tranquility filled the space between heaven and earth, only the occasional chirping of birds and beasts could be heard in the mountains and forests.
At this time, the earth dog also ran back quickly again, and his green eyes followed Xia Yan's, looking at the official road in the distance with white mist.
"Just now, there was a person following us, right?!" Xia Yan looked at the dog and said slowly.
"Woo..."
The earth dog grinned, revealing its eerie sharp teeth, and nodded its head a few times.
"Forget it, since he's gone, maybe it's just a coincidence that he didn't target me. Well, we should go about our own business. I'll find a secluded place first and then use the potion, so as not to be disturbed unintentionally." Xia Xia Yan turned his gaze to Yushui Mountain.
Yushui Mountain. Xia Yan has been very familiar with it for a long time. There is probably no place in front of the mountain and behind the mountain that Xia Yan has never been to. After practicing on Yushui Mountain for a year, Xia Yan knew every terrain in the mountain very well.
"Whoosh..."
Two gray shadows quickly rushed towards Yushui Mountain. The steep mountain road was like flat ground under the feet of these two shadows.
…
Xi's mansion!
On the long street in front of the main entrance, a black figure hurried towards the gate of Xi's house.
Seeing this person, the four guards of the Xi family in front of the gate bowed and saluted, and then lowered their heads to let the man in black enter the mansion. This person wore a dark golden mask on his face, and occasionally a murderous look flashed in his exposed eyes.
Just looking at it is terrifying. However, most of the time, his eyes seem to be hidden under the mask, and others can't see the sharp eyes at all.
When I glance over, I don't think it's strange, and I don't have any abnormal impression, as if I see someone who is too ordinary.
After entering the courtyard, the man in black walked quickly in the courtyard of Xi's mansion, and soon he went from the front yard to the back yard. In front of a yard facing the gate of the backyard, the man in black gradually slowed down his running speed.
This courtyard is the courtyard where Xi Potian, the head of the Xi family, lives.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, there were also two capable Xi family guards.
"Master Su Li!"
The two guards saluted respectfully.
"Yes. I want to see the chief patriarch!" Su Li slightly raised his hand, and a low, hoarse and heavy voice came out of his mouth.
The two guards looked at each other, and then said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the patriarch!"
After speaking, a guard turned around and quickly entered the yard.
Su Li stood outside, his body motionless, waiting quietly, like a tree stump. The other guard who was still standing outside the courtyard secretly looked at Su Li out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, Su Li's eyes flickered. When the guard saw Su Li's eyes, his whole body was shaken.
"Hmph!" Su Li snorted coldly.
"Lord Su Li, the patriarch told you to go in quickly!" The guard who went in to report quickly rushed out of the courtyard and said to the man in black with fists in his hands.
Su Li's figure flashed, but without seeing any movement, his body fluttered strangely, and he entered the courtyard gate in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the two guards widened their eyes. I was too shocked to speak. They only felt that Su Li disappeared in a blink of an eye, and when they looked again, Su Li had already arrived in the courtyard. If Su Li forced his way in, they would have no time to stop him!
"Haha, Mr. Su Li, you come to me in such a hurry, could it be that you already have good news?!"
Xi Potian came out of the bedroom, laughed, and looked at Su Li, the man in black, with flickering eyes.
Su Li nodded slightly and looked around.
The smile on Xi Potian's face was wider, but his voice was lowered a lot. He pointed to the room on the right, "Let's go to that room to talk, hehe, Mr. Su Li really lives up to his reputation!"
The two entered the room and closed the door.
"Hey, I didn't expect Mr. Su Li to come to Yushui City for less than a day, and he brought me good news!" Xi Potian smiled and looked at Su Li expectantly.
Only then did Su Li narrow his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Patriarch Xi, you asked me to assassinate Xia Yan, the candidate patriarch of the Xia family, but you didn't tell the truth about that Xia Yan."
"Oh?!" Xi Potian was surprised, "Mr. Su Li, what do you mean?!"
Xi Potian frowned, thinking about it.
"Hmph, Patriarch Xi, I came here on a special trip from Purple Leaf City. Last night, I guarded outside the courtyard of Xia's mansion all night. But I didn't find a good opportunity. The patriarch of the Xia family is very powerful. Until today In the morning, I saw that Xia Yan come out, but he has 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 spirit beast, it is definitely a very fierce beast, and it is extremely good at speed, so it is very difficult to deal with. Even a Healer would find it difficult to kill him.
Xia Yan, actually raised a phantom wolf
"Patriarch Xi, when we met last night, you didn't provide me with this important piece of information. Hmph, if it's an ordinary person, I'd just walk away. But for the sake of Patriarch Xi, I'll come back and let you know " Su Li's speaking rhythm slowed down, and the anger in his tone was gone, and his hoarse voice returned to indifference.
Xi Potian said repeatedly: "Mr. Su Li, I really don't know about the phantom wolf. Mr. Su Li, are you sure it's a phantom wolf. Not a dirt dog?!"
Xi Potian still couldn't believe it, and pondered for a while.
Su Li looked at Xi Potian and said with a sneer: "I, Su Li... have killed countless people, and I can't even count the beasts I have encountered. Could it be that I can't tell the difference between a dirt dog and a phantom wolf? That phantom Although the wolf looks ugly, it is definitely a fierce phantom wolf. The speed is very fast."
"In the morning, I followed that Xia Yan, and he took the phantom wolf straight to Yushui Mountain before stopping. Moreover, that phantom wolf seems to have discovered my existence." Su Li said, his eyes fixed on Xi Potian body. "Patriarch Xi, you almost made me make a big mistake by not telling me the news. You should know my rules!"
Xi Potian was secretly startled, of course he knew the rules of people like Su Li.
Su Li is a very good killer. Many of the people who died at his hands were experts in the realm of spiritual masters. Although asking him to assassinate is very expensive, the efficiency is extremely high. However, a killer like this pays first attention to the reward, and second to the information about the assassination target, all the information.
Xi Potian didn't tell Su Li about the local dog, so it's no wonder that Su Li was angry.
"Mr. Su Li, this matter is my fault." Xi Potian seldom lowered his head, his eyes flashed, "However, I really didn't know that it was a phantom wolf. Everyone in the city was rumoring that it was a dirt dog .I thought, should a dirt dog tell Mr. Su Li too?!"
"I hope, Mr. Su Li can understand! And don't feel bad about it!" Xi Potian's expression 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, and he is very good at concealment and assassination. Although he only has the strength of a mid-stage spiritual master, even some late-stage spiritual masters may be killed by him in one blow!
"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 sneered, "Patriarch Xi, if the mission continues, the price should be increased Fifty thousand gold coins!"
Xi Potian gritted his teeth, his eyelids twitched rapidly, and anger surged in his heart.
However, did 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 at this time. That bastard Xia Feilong bought the spiritual liquid, and the possibility of Xia Yan's breakthrough will be greatly increased. If you don't get rid of it now, there will be endless troubles in the future!" Xi Potian thought Thoughts turned quickly, and eyes changed 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, spending an extra 50,000 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 you can kill Xia Yan, the reward will be according to There is no problem with what Mr. Su Li said."
"Originally, the remuneration we negotiated was 200,000 gold coins, and I have already paid 100,000 to Mr. Su Li. After the matter is completed, I will pay the balance to Mr. Su Li. The original balance of 100,000 is now 100,000." Fifty thousand." Xi Potian said with a smile, "Mr. Su Li, are you sure? There can be no accidents in this matter."
Su Li nodded, with a stern look in his eyes, he smiled sinisterly, "Hey! Patriarch Xi, please rest assured, and please prepare 150,000 gold coins. Under my Spirit Snake Dagger, Xia Yan will definitely not have it." Live past noon."
Hearing the words Spirit Snake Dagger, Xi Potian also laughed. According to the legend, Su Li's spiritual dagger is a rare magical weapon. It is not known what material it is made of, but it is extremely sharp and indestructible. This dagger is also a priceless treasure. Many people have guessed that this dagger is made of special ore.
