Chapter 160
Hes here!
The Specter Slayer King opened his eyes, having detected an enormous amount of energy coming from outside the room. Only an Absolute-Realm master could possess such an aura. There were only two Absolute-Realm masters in Qingdao, namely Ha Hu-Myeong and Ha Hu-Seong. Among them, only Hu-Seong visited the Qingdao House.
After waiting for three days, Hu-Seong finally appeared. The bell rang to announce the time of sulshi not too long ago, so the Specter Slayer King hadplenty of time. He waited until Hu-Seong completely lowered his guard. The perfect opportunity to assassinate him would be when he was about to bed a woman after drinking quite a bit of alcohol.
Two hours later, the Specter Slayer King rose from his seat, exited through the Plum Rooms window, and skilfully climbed onto the roof. Afterward, he stealthily headed toward the Chrysanthemum Room, where Hu-Seong was. Having activated the Dark Specter Stealth Art, the Specter Slayer King left no traces and made no sound as he moved. He had also memorized the structure of the Four Gentlemen Rooms beforehand, allowing him to reach the roof of the Chrysanthemum Room without difficulty.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Every step the Specter Slayer King would take from here on out was crucial. He carefully removed some of the roof tiles and put them aside, revealing the wooden pillars supporting the roof and the ceiling of the Chrysanthemum Room right below it. Afterward, he skilfully slid right through the wooden pillars and lowered himself onto the ceiling, then leaned closer to a very small hole in the ceiling. It overlooked the bedroom of the Chrysanthemum Room.
The Specter Slayer King had created the hole before the operation. Through it, he observed the situation inside the Chrysanthemum Room. He could see a naked man and woman intertwined on the bed, pleasuring each other. The Specter Slayer King unsheathed his sword and aimed its tip at the hole. He then immediately executed Specter Flash, sending an intangible and silent vajra qi through the ceiling.
Hu-Seong, who was having sex with a gisaeng on the bed, tried to get away when he heard the sound. However, he could not move as he wanted because he was tangled with a gisaeng. Unable to evade the Specter Flashs vajra qi, it went through Hu-Seongs back and even penetrated the chest of the gisaeng lying under him.
Argh!
Hu-Seong and the gisaeng, whose heart the Specter Flashs vajra qi penetrated, screamed as they died on top of each other. However, Hu-Seongs escorts, who were standing guard outside the Chrysanthemum Room, could not hear them due to the special device installed in each of the Four Gentlemen Rooms. It prevented anyone outside from hearing any sounds coming from within the rooms.
The Specter Slayer King climbed down to the Chrysanthemum Room through the broken ceiling and confirmed Hu-Seongs death. Although he killed an innocent gisaeng to assassinate Hu-Seong, he did not care at all. All that mattered to him was completing his objective.
The Specter Slayer King escaped through the ceiling and headed to the Qingdao Sect, taking a little over thirty minutes to reach his destination. As soon as he arrived, he activated the Dark Specter Stealth Art and went to Hu-Myeongs residence. Just like last time, none of the Qingdao Sects members detected him.
Dozens of martial artists stood guard around Hu-Myeongs residence, but that didnt give the Specter Slayer King any problems. He easily slipped into Hu-Myeongs residence and, after making his way to the bedroom, completely suppressed his aura. Now, all he had to do was wait for Hu-Myeong to return from his martial arts training.
After a little over thirty minutes of waiting, the Specter Slayer King detected a presence from the corridor leading to the bedroom. He was certain that the Absolute-Realm aura belonged to Hu-Myeong.
The Specter Slayer King unsheathed and pointed his sword at the door, then conjured internal energy, causing qi to swirl around his sword. When the door opened, he immediately fired the Specter Flashs vajra qi.
With a deafening roar, the half-opened door was destroyed, and Hu-Myeong, the man who was about to enter the bedroom, was pushed back. The attack penetrated Hu-Myeongs upper right chest and mercilessly slammed him into the wall of the hallway.
Were under attack!
Its an assassin!
Protect the Patriarch!
Hu-Myeongs guards shouted and ran over when they heard the blast. Instead of panicking, the Specter Slayer King fired another Specter Flash toward Hu-Myeong. Although the first one fatally wounded Hu-Myeong, the Specter Slayer King had to make sure his target would not survive. Hence, he fired another vajra qi from his sword and smashed Hu-Myeongs head, which was stuck on the wall. Not even martial arts masters could live without a head.
Hence, the Specter Slayer King gave up swiftly and left Qingdao.
Just as the Specter Slayer King was about to leave Qingdao, Mu-Gun heard about the situation in Qingdao from Dan Seol-Young.
The forces on Black Spirit Island went to the Qingdao Sect even though two of its Absolute-Realm masters have been assassinated? Mu-Gun asked in surprise.
Yes. Curious, isnt it? The Nine Celestial Demons Sect probably sent a large number of masters as reinforcement. Otherwise, they would not even consider clashing against the forces of the three families head-on, Seol-Young replied.
Thats a good theory, but we might be missing something here, Mu-Gun disagreed.
What could that be?
I dont know. Its just a hunch right now.
In any case, they clearly have something up their sleeve that they think will give them a chance of winning.
Hmm, our fight against the Nine Celestial Demons Sect will suffer severe setbacks if the three families' forces get wiped out. This worries me.
Mu-Gun had a grudge against the Seven Saints, the former patriarchs of the Seven Great Families, but that was something personal. He did not have a particular grudge against the families themselves. Above all, the Seven Great Families were an important force in the fight against the Nine Celestial Demons Sect. He did not want them to suffer losses.
Do not worry too much. I doubt the three families will still hastily attack the Qingdao Sect once they learn that the enemy forces chose to stand their ground, Seol-Young reassured Mu-Gun.
Still, if the forces gathered at the Qingdao Sect are really superior in numbers, I doubt they will let the three families get away unscathed.
On the contrary, the Qingdao Sect would likely chase the three families to the very end and try to wipe out their forces. They could even try to destroy the Great Huangfu Family while they were at it. If the three families joint forces were wiped out and the Great Huangfu Family fell, murim would suffer huge losses.
Even if so, you cannot go there yourself, dear, Seol-Young firmly said.
That is why this frustrates me. If I was there now, I would have solved the problem myself.
As I said last time, you cannot protect everything within the vast Central Plains alone. The Seven Great Families are not as weak as you think, my dear husband. Even if their forces are inferior, they will not be defeated one-sidedly.
It would be fortunate if that is the case, but
Lets watch the situation for now. We cant do anything about this right now anyway.
Okay. Mu-Gun nodded. As Seol-Young said, all he could do right now was observe.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
