Soon after Gu Yu left, Xu Yue was drinking tea in the room and waiting, while the hall on the first floor below was talking about the appearance of his code name.

On the west side of the hall on the first floor, there was a huge list of the top 100 Assassins, and now the eighty-fourth on the list had disappeared, and an unfamiliar code name appeared instead, Flame.

"This flame is the one who caused the gong to ring four times just now, and then went straight to the second floor, why did this become 84."

"Even if you can join the organization directly, shouldn't you do the assassination mission first and make the list only if you have a resume?"

"Do you even need to think about it? He killed the blood before he joined the Order. ”

Inside the hall, a group of assassins gathered around the list, talking about the new codename, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and concluded:

"I see, this newcomer's ranking is not just an eighty-four place that can be limited, at least fifty places up, but I don't know how high it can be."

The long-bearded middle-aged man was the older of the group of assassins, and although his strength was average, he was well-known and well-informed, and his speech immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

"Fifty, is that an exaggeration?"

"Hehe, do you know who the maid who led the newcomer upstairs before?"

"Brother Tai, don't sell it, please give me advice."

Many Assassins in the crowd sincerely asked for advice, and seeing that everyone was staring at them with burning eyes, the middle-aged man with a long beard was not nervous, but proudly stroked his long beard and slowly spoke:

"That maid, her name is Gu Yu!"

As soon as Gu Yu's name came out, everyone around him was shocked and gasped.

"Shhh Under the five pavilion masters, twenty-four attendants. ”

"So, this fire was personally sent by the pavilion owner to invite it?"

"It's not easy."

…………

On the third floor of the Assassin's Tavern, in a study.

The middle-aged pavilion owner was still writing and drawing on the ledger when a light footstep was heard behind him, breaking the silence in the study.

Gu Yu, who was dressed in a long skirt, stepped forward slowly, holding a disc in her hand, she removed the tea that had already been cold on the bookcase, replaced it with a new set of tea cups, poured a cup of steaming tea for the owner, and then retreated behind the owner and stood quietly.

After a long time, the owner who finally finished dealing with the accounts put down the brush in his hand, drank the hot tea on the table at just the right temperature, and said:

"How's that guy?"

"Pavilion master, this person's code name is Xinhuo, and his specific strength can't be seen, but it is extremely dangerous."

"Oh?" Listening to Gu Yu's evaluation, the owner was slightly surprised.

The rain in the valley, at the time of the transition of spring and summer, the rain gives birth to a hundred grains, the opportunity to sow seeds, and the time when all things are full of vitality.

In terms of judging and perceiving breath alone, among the twenty-four attendants, Gu Yu was second only to the stunned sting, but he rarely heard Gu Yu evaluate someone's strength with the word 'extremely dangerous'.

"How dangerous is it?"

Gu Yu, who was behind him, thought for a moment, and replied:

"The year before last, I briefly met Lord Chiya at the capital headquarters, and the sense of horror that this Lord of the Flame brought to me was no weaker than that of Lord Chiya."

"Ahem!"

The owner in front of the bookcase let out a light cough, as if he was choking on the tea, he put the teacup in his hand back to its place, turned to look at Gu Yu who was standing still behind him, and there was a faint light in his eyes.

"You're sure you're right."

"I'm sure I've been in contact with him for nearly an hour, and there will be no mistake."

"Moreover, the evil aura on this Lord of the Flame is no worse than that of Lord Chiya, but it is very well received, but it is conservatively estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people who died at the hands of this adult."

"There are no less than 10,000 people...", the hall owner repeated Gu Yu's words, but there was a touch of excitement on his face.

"It seems that there is another evil star in our organization, Gu Yu, tell me all the bits and pieces of your contact with him."

"Yes."

More than ten minutes later, Gu Yu finished telling all the details of his contact with Xu Yue, and the owner of the museum listened while recording something on rice paper with a brush.

"What assassination warrants did he receive at the end?"

"The snake demon king in the north of the city, the white and white bird of the Flying Bird Gate, and the divine beast that protects the country of the Earth Dragon Country."

"He's taken the three highest-ranking bounties in the tavern at the moment."

After listening, the owner added the last few strokes to the rice paper, then put the brush aside, and said solemnly:

"If he really has the strength of Lord Red Fang, then he may become the new Shadow Assassin."

"I will report his information to the leader, Gu Yu, always pay attention to his movements, especially the completion of the last two tasks, and report to me as soon as it is completed."

"Yes!"

…………

The next day, the northern suburbs of Xingyang City.

This is a desolate and inaccessible place, with a cold climate, scarce vegetation, and the most of the rubble remains are rocks, and this is where the snake demon is entrenched.

The Xuanwu country is vast and rich, but the population is scarce, this country only needs people with martial arts talents, if they don't even have the most basic martial arts talents, then they will all be expelled.

Therefore, in the entire border of the Xuanwu Kingdom, except for more than a dozen main cities built in the land of anointing and a small number of towns attached to the surrounding areas, the most is a large area of uninhabited wasteland, and over the years, a large number of beasts and monsters have grown in these wastelands.

Among them, the snake demon is the most numerous of the monsters, which can be said to bloom everywhere in the Xuanwu country, and almost every town outside of it, there will be several snake demon strongholds, they are born with infinite strength, good at change, and like to feed on people.

The City Lord's Mansion has been encircled and suppressed several times, but the results are often unsatisfactory, each time a stronghold is destroyed with heavy losses, and it will not be long before these snake demons will regather again, and over time, the task of clearing the snake demon will be given to the Shadow Organization by the City Lord.

Each head of the snake demon can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver, so although it is not possible to eliminate the snake plague, it has also successfully curbed the growth rate of the snake demon, at least in recent years, the frequency of the snake demon group raiding the town has decreased a lot.

But there are also a lot of corresponding drawbacks, long-term frequent assassinations, while leading to a decrease in the number of snake demons, but also make the remaining snake demons more and more powerful, and the assassins who failed to assassinate also provided excellent blood food for this group of snake demons.

Half a month ago, the three snake demon gathering points that were originally scattered were merged into one, during which all the assassins who went to this gathering point to assassinate were buried in the belly of the snake, according to an assassin who escaped back to the snake valley, a snake demon king was born in that snake valley.

At this point, the assassination order to hunt the snake demon king was at the top of the tavern bounty list, but after more than a dozen assassins failed to die in a row, and even the top 100 assassins were killed and seriously injured, this assassination order was completely shelved.

It wasn't until last night that this long-idle Ren was taken over again.

At this time, Xu Yue, who had received this bounty task, was on his way to the snake demon gathering point.

Compared to the rest of the assassins, when they assassinated the snake demon king, they went cautiously, lest they be discovered by a large number of snake demons and be besieged.

He was swaggering on the road, constantly playing with a delicate square token in his hand, and the whole state was not so much to kill demons as to come for an outing.

"Help, anyone, help!!"

Suddenly, Xu Yue's footsteps paused, and a woman's cry for help suddenly came from the direction in front of him on the right, which sounded pitiful.

"It's finally there."
