At nine o'clock in the evening, a thick dark cloud covered the sky like a huge black cloth, and the sky was pitch black, and the wind howled, and a storm could come at any moment.

At night, Merck entered the castle like a ghost, so fast that the members of the League of Assassins hiding in the dark corners of the castle did not notice.

Merck kept going all the way and came directly to the door of a quaint house in the innermost part of the ancient castle.

The Ancient House is a forbidden place for the entire Ancient Castle, and there is no second person in the entire Assassin League other than Merck who can come here.

Because, the previous leader of the Assassin Alliance, Gary, who was a half-step god realm powerhouse, was in retreat in the ancient house.

Moreover, Gary had made it a rule before his retreat that even Merck should not disturb him unless he encountered something that threatened the survival of the Assassin League.

As a result, Merck has never set foot here in the past few years.

But tonight, he came, with horror and insecurity.

And yet—

Merck did not go directly to the ancient house, but stopped in front of the ancient house to adjust her mood.

"Merck, come in. ”

Immediately, before Merck could adjust her mood, a low, hoarse voice suddenly came from the ancient room.

Groov!

The sudden voice shook Merck's heart violently, and a flash of surprise flashed on his face, and then he hurriedly said, "Yes, teacher!"

As the words fell, Merck didn't think about why her teacher Gary was not in retreat, but immediately stepped forward and pushed open the quaint door.

Crunch!

With a soft sound, the quaint door opened, and Merck stepped inside.

The area of the ancient house is not large, only less than 50 square meters, the room is pitch black, you can't see your fingers, and because the perennial sunlight does not shine, the room is a little cold and damp, and the air is filled with the smell of mold.

Gary sat cross-legged in the middle of the ancient house, wearing a black robe, and his whole person was like a black shadow, completely integrated into the darkness, and ordinary people could hardly see his presence when they entered the house.

Merck is not an ordinary person, as a peerless powerhouse, he saw Gary at a glance, and bowed for the first time: "Teacher." ”

"Merck, you have done a bad job, and you can even describe it as gross dereliction of duty. ”

Gary spoke slowly, in a low tone and hoarse, which made people feel a sense of madness when they listened to it.

Groov!

Hearing Gary's words again, Merck's heart shook again, and then she realized something: "Old ...... Teacher, you know everything?"

"You actually let a young Chinese warrior smash the brand of the Assassin Alliance, and took hostages to set up a game to kill that Huaxia warrior, all of which ended in failure, and also lost an elder - you really lost the face of the Assassin Alliance, and it disappoints me too much!"

Gary gave an indirect answer, and there was undisguised anger in his tone.

Obviously, he was very unhappy with what Merck had done to manage the Assassin League during his retreat!

"Poof—"

In the face of Gary's reprimand, Merck did not dare to defend or refute, but knelt directly on the ground, lying on the ground, her forehead was tightly pressed against the ground, her body trembled slightly, and her voice trembled: "Yes...... I'm sorry, teacher. ”

When the words fell, Merck directly held her breath, and her heart was instantly filled with fear.

All this is just because, he knows, the rules of the Assassin League are strict, and if Gary really wants to hold him accountable, it will be no problem to kill him directly.

And he knew that although Gary was his teacher, he was a natural killer, cold and ruthless by nature, and it was really possible to kill him to vent his anger!

Merck at this moment, just like Jason did not complete the task at the beginning, and the mood when facing Merck is the same.

In a sense, the strict rules are also an important reason why the League of Assassins has been able to survive to this day.

"You should be glad that the Dark Council is also disgraced, otherwise you wouldn't have even had a chance to speak up when you came here. ”

Sure enough, Gary's words directly confirmed Merck's guess, and at the same time, Merck's hanging heart fell instantly, and the tense nerves were relaxed.

"Teacher, there is a possibility that the Huaxia martial arts world will retaliate against us, what should we do?"

After eliminating the death crisis, Merck asked about the worries in his heart, which was the purpose of his coming to Gary - the development of things was beyond his control and handling.

"The Chinese martial arts community will not retaliate, and they dare not retaliate. Gary said expressionlessly.

"For ...... Why?" Merck was stunned.

"Because, the Temple of Death was born—before you saw me, the messenger of the Temple of Death came here, and I learned from him all that had happened in the past time. He also conveyed the words of the Temple of Death: If the Huaxia martial arts community retaliates, the Temple of Death will go all out. Gary explained.

"Hoo ......"

Merck let out a long sigh of relief.

As the head of the Assassin Alliance, he knew the existence of the Temple of Death and the Reaper, and he knew even more about the horror of the Temple of Death - with ten half-step God Realm powerhouses, including Gary, and the leader of the Temple of Death, the Reaper, was even more terrifyingly powerful!

Even, Merck suspected that the Grim Reaper had probably become a real God Realm powerhouse, otherwise how could he lead the other nine half-step God Realm powerhouses?

"In addition, that envoy also conveyed the order of the Temple of Death: on the premise of not dispatching a half-step God Realm powerhouse, do everything possible to kill that Huaxia martial artist named You Long, and definitely not let him grow up!"

Just as Merck was completely relieved, Gary spoke again, his tone unquestionable, "If nothing else, this order will also reach the Dark Council, I hope you don't disgrace me and the Assassin Alliance again!"

"Please rest assured, teacher, I will definitely kill that Huaxia Youlong with my own hands before the Dark Council makes a move!"

Merck immediately received the order and issued a military order.

Gary didn't say anything more, but closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Merck got up very knowingly and silently exited the ancient house.

......

At the same time, just as Gary had predicted, a black-robed emissary of the Temple of Death, with orders from the Temple of Death, arrived at the ancient castle where the Dark Council was located, and was personally received by Oblak, the Grand Elder of the Dark Council.

After being injured in Beverly Hills, Oblak returned to the secret stronghold of the Dark Council, where he was in retreat to heal, and was frightened when he learned of the arrival of the Death Temple attendants.

At this moment, he and the Death Acolyte were in a large hall of the ancient castle.

He fell to his knees, shivering, while the black-robed emissary sat on the Skeleton Throne with a grim face and a faint displeasure between his eyebrows.

Obviously, the black-robed envoy was a little unhappy that he was waiting for Merlot to return here.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Merlot returned to the castle and heard a report from his men that a guest had visited, and Oblak received him in the main hall.

For this reason, Merlot was a little puzzled and worried, for fear that it was the people from the Huaxia martial arts community who came to seek revenge, so he cautiously came to the front of the main hall, and as a result, he sensed the aura of Oblak and the black-robed messenger of the Temple of Death.

"Merlot, did you ask me to invite you in?"

The next moment, before Merlot could determine who the person was sacred, in the main hall, the black-robed messenger spoke, and his tone was gloomy.

Swish!

When Melo heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he immediately pushed open the door of the main hall, and at a glance he saw the black-robed messenger sitting on the throne of the skeleton, and also saw Oblak kneeling on the ground.

This discovery made his heart move, and he immediately guessed that the man in black on the Skeleton Throne was from the Temple of Death!

Although he is not at the helm of the Dark Council, as a military advisor, he is aware of the existence of the Temple of Death.

"Sorry, my lord, I'm late!"

After Merlot guessed the identity of the man in black, she quickly bowed.

"Close the door, take the order!"

The black-robed old man slowly got up and shouted coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

Melo responded immediately, then closed the door, knelt directly on the ground, and said respectfully: "Please instruct your lordship!"

"Because of the stupidity of the Dark Council and the Assassin Alliance, the Temple of Death was forced to come out in order to deter the Chinese martial arts community and prevent the Chinese martial arts community from retaliating against the Dark Council and the Assassin Alliance. At the same time, the Temple of Death asks the Dark Council to kill that Huaxia warrior named You Long at all costs!" The black-robed messenger conveyed the order of the Temple of Death in a low tone.

"Yes!"

Melo received the order at the first time, with a respectful attitude and a firm tone.

The black-robed messenger stopped talking nonsense and walked away directly.

"My lord, do you need to report this matter to the leader of Augulas?" Merlot asked, after hesitating for a moment.

"No, Lord Augulas is in the Temple of Death. ”

The black-robed envoy shook his head, and when he mentioned Augulas, he instantly restrained his arrogance as an envoy, and even his tone was filled with awe.

Merlot was keenly aware of the change in the attitude of the black-robed envoy, and judged in his heart that Augulas had probably broken through the half-step god realm, otherwise the other party would not be like this, but he still pretended to be stupid and asked, "My lord, may I ask Lord Augulas that he has broken through the half-step god realm, and when will he get out?"

"Half-step Divine Realm?"

The black-robed envoy shook his head slightly, his tone becoming more and more awe-inspiring, "Lord Augulas is attacking the God Realm!"

"Uh......"

Stunned to hear the words of the black-robed messenger, both Merlot and Oblak, who knelt on the ground, were stunned in place.

Then......

They were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!

......
