Chapter 124 - Assassination!



"Alright, you five," Jiang Yun turned towards the other five who had rejected his invitation, and said as if he didn\'t care about their rejection, "If any of you ever wish to join the best league, the World\'s League will always have its doors open for you."

Then he turned to Hou Xing and said, "Junior Hou, come to World League Headquarters tomorrow."

Taking a deep breath, he turned towards Hu Xing, stared at him for a second, and then nodded at Jun Xie.

Without any more words, he turned and got down from the platform, and headed for the exit.

The members of the World League, who had come with him, followed him as he left the hall.

After the members of the World League had left the banquet hall, Jun Xie looked at Hu Xing and said, "Come to the Second Peak Alchemy Hall tomorrow, before sunrise."

Hu Xing immediately nodded his head in acknowledgment and said, "I will be there, Senior Brother Jun."

"Alright, will see you then." Jun Xie then turned towards Yuan Shuchun and said, "Junior Sister, I shall also take my leave."

And without waiting for her response, he headed for the exit.

However, suddenly he stopped, turned, and frowned.

In the next instant, he had a sword in his hand, and before anyone could react, he was already in the air above Yuan Shuchun, swinging his sword at her head!

Before Yuan Shuchun could even react, Jun Xie suddenly turned to dust.

The disciples stood there in shock at what had just happened. 

"Got You!" A familiar voice rang throughout the hall.

The disciples turned towards the empty throne and were shocked to find Jun Xie and two other disciples, Fang Chen and Xiao Ming, standing with their swords on a masked man\'s neck.

"State your identity or taste my sword." Jun Xie looked more serious than ever.

The masked man suddenly gritted his teeth, and his eyes went inside his head as he lost his consciousness. Forever.

Jun Xie took out a piece of clothing, wrapped it around his fingers, and put the fingers on the man\'s neck.

"He\'s dead." He declared.

Yuan Shuchun finally came back to her senses, jumped on the stage, and stared at the dead body.

Just as she was about to remove the mask, Jun Xie stopped her hand and said, "Junior Sister, don\'t act rashly; this guy\'s an assassin. Look at the tattoo at the end of his eyelids."

Yuan Shuchun looked carefully and found an almost unnoticeable diamond tattoo near the assassin\'s dead body.

As soon as she saw the tattoo, she stepped back, "Whoa, I almost touched death. Thank you for your warning, Senior Brother Jun Xie; I owe you one for this."

"It\'s alright, just try to be a little nicer next time," Jun Xie replied in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"Senior Brother Jun, why aren\'t we removing this guy\'s mask?" A voice called out from behind him.

As he turned, Jun Xie found a cold-looking disciple staring at him with a confused expression.

Jun Xie explained to him calmly, while also raising his voice a bit so that everyone in the hall could hear him, "The reason why I stopped Junior Sister is that the person is an assassin. And they bite the poison when things go wrong and kill themselves to not to reveal their identity."

"However, do you know that their suicide is also an assassination attempt?"

"What?" The cold-looking disciple was surprised to hear such words.

"Yes, you heard it right. Actually, their robes are covered with an unknown poison, especially their wrist, neck, and mask. And if someone touches them with his bare hands, they will be infected with his poison and die."

"This method is very effective because wrist and neck are where the victim will touch if he wants to know what happened to this person, the victim doesn\'t know that the assassin had committed suicide."

"And the face is what the victim will want to see next. To do that, he will have to remove the mask. But don\'t forget that the mask is poisoned; therefore, the victim will die even if he escaped the assassination once."

The disciples were enlightened to get to know about this kind of assassination strategy. They couldn\'t help but discuss between themselves how good this strategy was.

"It\'s insane; I have never heard of this."

"Yeah, and don\'t forget that the target will have his guard down after he confirms that the assassin is dead."

"True, and even if the assassin is beheaded, thus making the poison at his neck and wrist useless, the target will definitely look who the person is under that mask."

"Agreed, and the worst part isn\'t this mask. But rather the fact that their robes are poisonous. Doesn\'t that mean that if any of the victim\'s weapon scratches on the robes, the poison will get stuck on the weapon!?"

"Holy shit, there\'s no way of escaping death."

"Yeah. If they commit suicide, you check their face, you die. If you defend yourself, you die. If you get a scratch from them, you die, since if their clothes are poisonous, then their weapons are too!"

"Yep, escaping his impossible."

"Well, Senior Brother Jun Xie did check his pulse and is still alive."

"That\'s because he already knew who that man was." Then the disciple lowered his voice and said, "If he was ignorant like Senior Sister Yuan, I am sure we would have more than two dead bodies near the throne in the next minute."

While the commotion broke out among the disciples, Jun Xie removed the cloth on his fingers using his sword while  saying, "This poison can erode anything, so we need to remove the cloth and get a new one."

And then he took out another piece of cloth, wrapped it loosely around his hand, and moved his hand to remove the mask from the assassin\'s face.
