“Are you tricking me?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was furious, almost losing his composure.
He had actually thought this Old Blind Man could smell the scent, truly believing he had been exposed.
It turned out this Old Blind Man was tricking him.
And he had actually believed it.
How hateful!
Qin Xuan’s heart churned, and he almost blurted out a curse.
However, hearing the last sentence, he still forced himself to swallow the words.
Never mind, since he had already obtained the Ghost Face’s identity, he didn’t want to talk about this matter anymore.
After cupping his fists towards the Old Blind Man in thanks, Qin Xuan turned and left.
Only after Qin Xuan left did the Old Blind Man slowly raise his head and nod.
“Not bad, his Qi is as vast as a river and sea. He’s a good prospect for an assassin. It seems Star Plucking Tower has gained some good new recruits.”
The old man said, then continued to close his eyes and rest, appearing as if he hadn't paid any attention to it.
After leaving, Qin Xuan glanced at the child who was jogging back with something, and nodded slightly. Fortunately, he hadn't laid a hand on these children as Han Ye had suggested.
Otherwise, today’s matter might not have ended so simply.
After all, he could tell that this old man truly liked these children.
“It seems this Old Blind Man has lived here for too long and has come to regard these children as part of his family.”
This wasn't the kind of sentiment a top assassin should have, but this old man was probably here to enjoy his later years.
“Never mind, what do other people’s affairs have to do with me? Anyway, I’ve already obtained the qualification to enter here.”
Since Star Plucking Tower’s Profound Dragon Dao chose such an Old Blind Man to be in charge of this matter, they must have their reasons. Qin Xuan was too lazy to dwell on it.
Counting the time, there were still three days until the full moon night. Qin Xuan wouldn't waste these three days and went directly into the mountains to begin Cultivating.
During these three days, using the Taihuang Space within the Refining God Cauldron, he wanted to Cultivate a portion of the Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth from the Vajra Subduing Demon True Body.
He refused to believe he couldn't Cultivate the Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth within the Vajra Subduing Demon True Body.
...
Three days later, Qin Xuan left the Taihuang Space.
He clenched his fist and swung it forward with force.
As he continuously exerted force, a golden light surged from his hand.
However, after a moment, this golden light appeared on his body, forming a golden illusory form.
The illusory form enveloped his body, like a large shield, firmly protecting him within.
It was just that his Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth at this time only appeared slightly taller than himself, and was completely incomparable to the Wu Family Head’s from that day.
At that time, the Wu Family Head’s Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth was over a dozen zhang tall, and it looked incredibly solid, truly like a gigantic golden-armored giant.
In contrast, the golden-armored giant on Qin Xuan’s body was only about nine feet tall, and it was very weak, like an illusion.
“Don’t be anxious. This thing cannot be rushed. Everything will be fine in time.”
Han Ye explained from the side.
Qin Xuan nodded.
He naturally knew that this Fa Xiang Heaven and Earth required time.
Among other things, to Cultivate to the level of the Wu Family Head, it not only required a large amount of Spiritual Qi, but also a deeper mastery of martial arts.
Currently, Qin Xuan clearly couldn't achieve this.
However, counting the time, today was the full moon night, and it was time to head to the meeting point.
“Are you really going to join Star Plucking Tower? This is an assassin organization. If you’re discovered, your public identity will be completely ruined…”
Han Ye said with some concern. In his opinion, Qin Xuan’s action was truly a bit risky.
However, Qin Xuan clearly didn’t think so. He shook his head.
“This is a good opportunity. The rewards here at Star Plucking Tower are considerable, and assassin organizations are generally intelligence organizations. There must be all sorts of intelligence inside, which will be of great help to my future actions.”
Qin Xuan said, then left and hurried towards the target location.
Night had already fallen, but the full moon was like a mirror, and the silver light filled the sky like mercury spilling onto the ground.
Holding the map, Qin Xuan advanced carefully along the way.
Soon, he arrived near his destination.
He looked around, confirmed no one was present, then put on the Thousand Transformations Spirit, transforming his face into Luo Fei’s previous disguise, and then put on Luo Fei’s Ghost Face mask.
This way, it was a double layer of protection.
With these two layers of protection, normally, everything should be safe.
After completing the protective measures, Qin Xuan immediately hurried towards the final destination.
“Eh?”
Just as Qin Xuan was about to reach his destination, he looked to the side with some surprise.
Not far from him, another figure was continuously approaching the destination.
It seemed this person was also coming to meet up today. He just didn't know what this person's identity was.
After all, all assassins who joined Star Plucking Tower had their public identities.
Suppressing this thought, Qin Xuan immediately accelerated and arrived at the destination.
Looking at the lake ahead, Qin Xuan hesitated slightly.
The map the Old Blind Man had given him earlier marked this spot.
But in his opinion, this place didn't look like a meeting point at all.
“Why are you standing there stunned? If you’re not going in, don’t block the way.”
Just then, a scolding voice came from behind him.
From the voice, it should be a woman.
Qin Xuan turned his head and saw the figure from before already standing behind him, staring at him with dissatisfaction.
Unlike the Ghost Face mask on Qin Xuan’s face, this woman wore a fox-face mask on her head.
Looking at this person’s mask, Qin Xuan was startled. He cupped his hands towards the other party and made way.
He indeed didn’t know how to enter this place. Since someone wanted to lead the way, he naturally yielded.
Seeing Qin Xuan honestly make way, the woman didn’t dawdle and walked directly towards the pool.
After all, those who knew about this stronghold were all people vetted by Star Plucking Tower. Although she might doubt their identities, she wouldn’t doubt Star Plucking Tower’s capabilities.
Anyone who could pass Star Plucking Tower’s vetting must not be simple.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, stared at the woman, wanting to see how she operated.
The woman walked to the edge of the pool, then took out a Talisman and affixed it to herself, before striding into the water.
“Whoosh!”
As the woman walked into the pool, the water on both sides immediately began to part automatically.
“Water-Repelling Talisman!”
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow. This woman certainly had some tricks.
After the woman went in, Qin Xuan hurriedly began to search through Luo Fei’s qiankun ring.
Soon, he found an identical Water-Repelling Talisman in Luo Fei’s qiankun ring.
Taking the Water-Repelling Talisman in hand, Qin Xuan squeezed it hard, then affixed it to himself and carefully walked down.
“Whoosh!”
The moment Qin Xuan walked down, the water immediately parted to both sides.
Seeing how smoothly it went, a hint of a smile appeared on Qin Xuan’s face.
Soon, Qin Xuan reached the bottom of the pool. There, the female assassin was opening a passage.
This passage seemed to have only recently been dug open. Seeing that the woman had already opened the passage, Qin Xuan immediately strode to follow her.
The female assassin paid no heed to this. Qin Xuan couldn't see her expression beneath the fox mask.
Following the winding passage downwards, Qin Xuan and the female assassin remained silent the entire way. The two simply proceeded one after the other, with considerable tacit understanding.
Soon, an exit appeared at the end of the passage.
Upon reaching the passage entrance, the woman suddenly stopped.
“I hope you’re not thinking of playing any tricks.”
After speaking, the woman exited the passage.
Qin Xuan, who was following behind, gave no response.
There was no need for any explanation in such a situation.
Moreover, the other party had spoken up several times, clearly indicating she was also a newcomer.
A normal assassin wouldn’t be so talkative when concealing their identity.
“It seems she’s also someone with other intentions, otherwise she wouldn’t be so concerned.”
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and followed her out of the passage.
Suddenly, his vision opened up. A rather large space appeared before Qin Xuan, and not only that, it was brightly lit inside.
