As night fell, the little butterfly flew into the huge Chixuan City.

The little butterfly perched on the high roof and observed the brightly lit and still lively streets at night.

A young man left the banquet in a happy mood, and walked along the street with a drunken body and a high conversation with his friends.

A full moon hung lonely in the sky, sprinkling a quiet moonlight like flowing water, and the roof illuminated was white as if it were sprinkled with a piece of silver.

The kitten on the ridge of the roof is chasing a small butterfly from one roof to another, chasing happily.

In the sky, night birds are circling and fluttering, preying on the small insects that fly wildly.

"Brothers, leave it at that, it's time for me to go home!"

On the street, a bold voice sounded: "We have a good conversation today, we will meet again another day!"

The speaker was a dignified-looking, well-dressed young man named Zhou Junye. After saying goodbye to a few friends, he walked into another street alone.

When he left the crowd, he quickly became calm. He's not actually a heroic outgoing person. On the contrary, he was a cold and even indifferent person. He was an Assassin, or someone who aspired to be one. But he's not yet, he's just doing chores for the Assassins.

He is in charge of connecting, liaising with businesses, finding those in need, or showing the way to those who come to his door.

There were many people like him, forming the link between the Assassin Order and the Lords.

He had always known that it was very dangerous to do such a thing, no less dangerous than being an Assassin, and even as challenging as an Assassin. His guide told him that this was the first step to becoming an Assassin and the homework he had to complete to become an Assassin.

Watching and listening, blending in with the crowd, self-camouflage, discovering opportunities, acting secretly, and retreating.

People like this are called birds. Birds don't stay in one place for too long, because if they stay too long, they will inevitably arouse suspicion, and it is not uncommon for people to be killed. Birds are destined to move around and have no fixed home.

"In two months, it's time to leave the city!"

Zhou Junye thought so in his heart. In total, he has been in the area of Chixuan City for two years. In the past two years, although he has only facilitated a total of three transactions, he feels that it is enough. Because one of them is really big, probably worth the usual ten, or more.

"Is that big business done?"

He was a little curious, fantasizing about when he could become an assassin and then do a few of these big deals, which was really exciting.

That's right, he wanted to be an assassin because of the excitement. Or was it because his father had been killed by the Assassins?! He thought it was possible, but he could barely remember what his father was like now.

Maybe it was because you knew you were leaving, or maybe you had too much to drink today. He's a little too "sentimental" right now. This was not the state of mind of an Assassin.

Crossing a long street, he walked straight to the city gates. Although he managed to blend into the upper echelons of Chixuan City, his home was not in the city. It's hard to get a place to live in the city. Although the bird's income is not small, it cannot support him to settle in the city. What's more, birds never settle.

His residence was in a settlement outside the city.

The sandfolk of that settlement were in awe of him because he was strong enough. In a sense, his arrival has brought many tangible benefits to the settlement, such as the fact that several other slightly stronger sand settlements around him no longer dare to harass this settlement as unscrupulously as before.

To thank him, the sandmen built him a nice dwelling.

In the night, Zhou Junye returned home, came to the inner room, lit the lamp, and then put a sharp weapon around his neck.

"Don't move!"

In the dimly lit room, an indifferent voice sounded in his ears.

He didn't move, not even panicked. When he became a bird, he was ready for such moments. He knew that most birds would not escape this fate. It's just that he didn't expect that the moment that belonged to him would come so soon.

With his calm and composedness, he could make an excellent assassin.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Junye asked in a calm tone. The beating light shone on his cheeks, making his calm eyes shine. He only facilitated three businesses in the area of Chixuan City. In fact, he has a general idea of the origin of this uninvited guest.

However, he did not think that he would die today. Because although he is not yet an official assassin, it does not mean that he is not strong enough. The requirements for the Undercurrent Hall to recruit new members are very high, and although the factors considered are by no means limited to strength, strength is the most important condition.

A thought flashed in Zhou Junye's heart, and several ways to counter the enemy were born in an instant. Now, what he needs is time.

In this situation, the only way to hold on to time is through dialogue. Tearing your throat and shouting for help certainly won't work. It's looking for death.

Keep asking questions!

"We know each other?"

"I've never offended anyone in Chixuan City, so you won't recognize the wrong person, right?"

......

There was no voice to respond to him, because Zhou Ming would not give him any chance. In response to him, there was only a heavy palm of power, silent, domineering and violent, although it would not cause a big movement, but the lethality was absolutely terrifying.

That palm hit the back of Zhou Junye's heart, and there was a bang.

Zhou Junye's expression froze instantly, and he felt intense and incomparably painful, and then there was a feeling of lightness.

He didn't even see the expression of the person behind him from beginning to end, but he could clearly feel the coldness and decisiveness of the other party.

Didn't give him any chance, not a slight!

Striking out this palm, Zhou Junye's internal organs have been severely damaged, and his strength has been shattered.

Zhou Ming silently withdrew the butterfly in his hand, raised his hand and slapped Zhou Junye's left and right shoulders, abolishing this person's hands.

“...... What the hell do you want to do?"

Zhou Junye finally felt a cold fear, because the enemy's move was not to kill him immediately.

Could it be that he wants to torture the clues of the gold owner?

He may have the consciousness of death, but to be honest, he doesn't think he has enough fortitude to endure the horrors and torment.

"Don't be nervous, your pain won't be worse than it is now!"

Zhou Ming's voice finally sounded, and the butterfly in his hand was returning to his body and quietly landed on top of Zhou Junye's head. "A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood. Someone wants to kill me, so I'm going to kill it back. Don't worry, I'll give you a break soon!"

"You ......"

Zhou Junye wanted to say something, but unfortunately his neck had been strangled to death, and at this time, the six legs of the Nine Transformation Emperor Jade Butterfly gently stabbed down, passed through the scalp and skull, and went straight into the inside of this person's brain......

Soon after, a butterfly flew away. At night, in the settlement of the sandmen, a fire is raging. The house, which had been built for less than two years, collapsed, destroyed, and reduced to rubble under the licking of tongues of fire.

A bird, lost in the flames.
