Chapter 160: Assassination

"No way, I just felt - absolutely not wrong! Just now, there must have been a powerful person behind me all the time. Xia Yan, who was hiding under the bushes, took a slight breath.

"Hey, that feeling is gone!"

Seeing that no one had appeared, Xia Yan spread his five senses to the limit, but the strange feeling of Fang Cai disappeared completely quietly. In other words, Xia Yan couldn't feel that person at all at this time.

"Did he leave?" his eyes flashed, and Xia Yan walked out from under the bushes and looked in the direction behind him.

On the official road, it is still empty.

Because it was still early in the morning, I couldn't even see some carriages and horses. Quiet, pervading the heavens and the earth, only the occasional chirping of birds and beasts came from the mountains and forests.

At this time, the earth dog also ran back quickly, and his green eyes followed Xia Yan to look at the official road with white mist in the distance.

"Just now, was there a person following us?" Xia Yan looked at the earth dog and said slowly.

"Woo~"

The corners of the earth dog's mouth twitched, revealing its eerie sharp teeth, and his head tapped a few times.

"Forget it, since he's gone, maybe it's just a coincidence that it's not aimed at me. Well, it's time for us to go about our business. I'll find a secluded place before I use the potions, so as not to be disturbed by someone accidentally. Xia Yan's gaze turned to Yushui Mountain.

Yushui Mountain, Xia Yan has long been very familiar with it, in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, I am afraid there is no place where Xia Yan has not been. After cultivating on Yushui Mountain for a year, Xia Yan knew every terrain in the mountain very well.

"Whoosh~"

The two gray shadows quickly rushed towards Yushui Mountain, and the steep mountain road was like flat ground at the feet of these two shadows.

.............................................................................. Xi's Mansion!

On the long street in front of the main gate, a black figure hurriedly walked towards the gate of the Xi family.

When the four Xi family guards in front of the door saw this person, they all bowed and saluted, and then lowered their heads to let the man in black enter the courtyard. This person wore a dark golden mask on his face, and his exposed eyes occasionally flashed with a murderous aura.

Just one glance is terrifying. Most of the time, though, his eyes seemed to be hidden under the mask, and others couldn't see them at all.

When you look at it, you don't feel strange, and then you don't have any unusual impressions, as if you see someone who is too ordinary to be ordinary.

After the man in black entered the courtyard, he walked quickly in the courtyard of the Xi family's mansion, and soon, he went from the front yard to the back yard. In front of a courtyard facing the backyard gate, the man in black gradually slowed down his 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 elite Xi family guards guarding them.

"Master Su Li!"

The two guards saluted respectfully.

"Well, I want to see Patriarch Xi!" Su Li raised his hand slightly, 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, I'll go and inform the patriarch!"

With that, one of the guards turned around and quickly entered the courtyard.

Su Li stood outside, his body not moving at all, waiting quietly, like a tree stump. And the other guard, who was still standing outside the courtyard, secretly looked at Su Li out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly Su Li's eyes flashed, and the guard saw Su Li's eyes, his whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

"Hmph!" Su Li snorted coldly.

"Lord Su Li, the patriarch told you to go in quickly!" The guards who went in to report quickly rushed out of the courtyard and said to the man in black with a fist.

Su Li's figure flashed, and he didn't see any movement, his body fluttered strangely, and he entered the courtyard gate in an instant.

When the two guards saw this scene, their eyes widened and they were speechless in shock. They only felt that Su Li disappeared as soon as they saw a flower in front of them, and when they looked at it again, Su Li had already arrived in the courtyard. If this Su Li forcibly broke in, they wouldn't have time to make a stop at all!

"Haha, Mr. Su Li, come to me in such a hurry, is there already good news?"

Xi Potian walked out of the bedroom, laughed, and looked at Su Li, the man in black, with a flash of light in his eyes.

Su Li nodded slightly and looked left and right.

The smile on Xi Potian's face was even bigger, but his voice was much lowered, and he pointed to the room on the right, "Let's go to that room to talk, hehe, Mr. Su Li really deserves his reputation!"

The two of them arrived in the room and closed the door.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Mr. Su Li had brought me good news in less than a day after he came to Yushui City!" Xi Potian smiled and looked at Su Li expectantly.

Su Li narrowed his eyes at this time, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Patriarch Xi, you asked me to assassinate Xia Yan, the candidate patriarch of the Xia family, but you didn't tell the true situation of that Xia Yan. ”

"Oh?" Xi Potian said in surprise, "Mr. Su Li, what do you mean by this?"

Xi Potian frowned, thinking in his heart.

"Hmph, Patriarch Xi, I've made a special trip from Purple Leaf City. Last night, I kept watch outside the courtyard of the Xia family mansion all night, but I didn't find a good opportunity. The head of the Naxia family is very strong. It wasn't until this morning that I saw that Xia Yan come out, but he had 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 in his heart.

A few days ago, Xia Yan took a dog in Xiajiafang City to bite off the arms of Ma Sang and Xu Yangshui, and 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 animal, it is definitely a very fierce beast, and it is extremely good at speed, which is very difficult to deal with. Even if it's a spirit master, it's hard to kill it.

Xia Yan, actually raised a phantom wolf?

"Patriarch Xi, when we met last night, you didn't give me this important piece of information. Hmph, if it were an ordinary person, I would just brush my sleeves and leave. But for the sake of Patriarch Xi's face, I will come back to inform you. Su Li's pace of speaking slowed down, and there was no trace of anger in his tone, and his hoarse voice returned to indifference.

Xi Potian said: "Mr. Su Li, I really don't know about the phantom wolf. Mr. Su Li, are you sure it's a phantom wolf and not a dirt dog?"

Xi Potian was still a little incredulous, and groaned slightly.

Su Li looked at Xi Potian and sneered: "I, Su Li...... I have killed countless people, and I can't count the beasts I have encountered, so I can't tell the difference between an earth dog and a phantom wolf? Although the phantom wolf is relatively ugly, it is definitely a fierce phantom wolf. Speed, very fast. ”

"In the morning, I followed that Xia Yan, and he took the phantom wolf straight to Yushui Mountain before stopping. Moreover, the phantom wolf seems to have discovered my presence. Su Li said, his eyes fixed on Xi Potian, "Patriarch Xi, you didn't tell me the news, which almost made me make a big mistake." You should know my rules!"

Xi Potian was secretly shocked in his heart, of course he knew the rules of Su Li's kind of people.

Su Li is a very good killer. Many of the people who died in his hands were powerhouses of the Spirit Master Realm. Although it is expensive to ask him to assassinate, it is extremely efficient. However, the first focus of a killer like this is the honorarium, and the second is the information about the target of the assassination, all the information.

Xi Potian didn't tell Su Li the information about the earth dog, so it's no wonder that Su Li was angry.

"Mr. Su Li, this matter is my fault. Xi Potian rarely lowered his head, his eyes flashed, "However, I really don't know that it is a phantom wolf." All the people in the city were saying that it was a dirt dog. I thought, is it possible that a local dog should also tell Mr. Su Li?"

"I hope Mr. Su Li can understand! And don't get upset because of this!" Xi Potian's face froze 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 spirit masters, and he is extremely good at concealing and assassinating. Although he only has the strength of a mid-stage spirit master, even some late-stage spirit masters may be killed by him with one blow!

"A phantom wolf, it really can't stop me. However, with the phantom wolf on his side, the difficulty of killing Xia Yan will be greatly increased. Su Li smiled coldly, "Patriarch Xi, if the task continues, the price will be increased by 50,000 gold coins!"

Xi Potian gritted his teeth, his eyelids jumped rapidly, and anger surged in his heart.

However, at this time, did he refuse Su Li's request? If that was the case, Su Li would probably turn around and leave.

"Kill Xia Yan, you must not give up at this time. Xia Feilong, that bastard, bought the spiritual liquid, and Xia Yan's possible surname for breaking through the innate greatly increased. If you don't get rid of it now, there will be endless troubles in the future!" Xi Potian's thoughts in his heart turned rapidly, and his eyes changed continuously.

Seeing Xi Potian's gloomy face, Su Li didn't continue to speak, just waiting 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 smiled and said to Su Li, "No problem, as long as you can kill Xia Yan, the reward will be according to what Mr. Su Li said, there is no problem." ”

"Originally, the remuneration we negotiated was 200,000 gold coins, and I have already paid Mr. Su Li 100,000. After the matter was completed, the balance was paid to Mr. Su Li, and the balance of the original 100,000 yuan has now become 150,000. Xi Potian said with a smile, "Mr. Su Li, are you completely sure? ”

Su Li nodded, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Hehe, Patriarch Xi, please rest assured, and please prepare the 150,000 gold coins." Under my spirit snake dagger, Xia Yan will definitely not survive past noon. ”

Hearing the words of the spirit snake dagger, Xi Potian also smiled. According to legend, Su Li's spirit dagger is a rare divine weapon, and I don't know what material it is made of, but it is extremely sharp and indestructible. This dagger is also a priceless treasure, and many people have speculated that this dagger is made of special ore.
