Today, Lin Yun does find Zhao Min in his courtyard. It's kind of odd. She may be attending class. He plans to go out again to seek for some news. But a administrative elder of the academy finds him. The elder informs him that it's been already a month and he has not done any missions. A mission is compulsory every month.
He goes to the administrative block where the mission hall is located.
He checks the missions on the mission board. He chooses the one about planting herbs.
"I want to choose the one about planting grade 2 level medicines" Lin Yun reports to the counter.
The middle aged female sitting in the counter replies , "Are you a student of pill refining department?"
"NO" He answer.
"Then, you can not choose it. It's meant for them only" The woman shakes her head.
"Okay, let me choose another" He looks at the board again.
There is this mission which needs him to go outside the city. It's about the mysterious deaths of men in the town called Fragrance Town. Mission is set for martial artist realm students.
After choosing the mission, he goes out. He buys many food from the food street and a good horse. He heads out of the city.
After going out of the city, he passes through a forest. This is the first time going out. It's kind of refreshing.
A sense of crisis of behind wells up, he jumps from the horse. He just jumps a sword light comes and hits the horse. It's cut into half.
Lin Yun has not been hurt but the insides shake due to sudden action.
"Oh! You are pretty vigilant. I heard you are a playboy good-for-nothing. I thought this going to be boring mission. It seems like my information is wrong." A black cloth man jumps down from a tree.
"Who are you?" Lin Yun asks coldly.
The man is martial master small accomplishment realm.
"I am the one who is going to send your way to netherworld" The man answers nonchalantly.
"Why do you want kill me? I think we do not have any grievances." Lin Yun asks.
"Of course, we do not have any personal grievances. But your existence has become a nuisance for my master's plan" The man answers.
"Who is your master?" Lin Yun asks.
"What are you going to do if you know it? You are going to die" The man says.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Lin Yun asked coldly.
"Of course, I am martial master. You do not know the difference between a martial master and martial artist is." The man says and shoots toward Lin Yun.
He is fast but Lin Yun is faster. Lin Yun vanishes from the spot. This is mirage steps. It's a combination of many movement techniques of earth, water, wind and wood elements. It's best use is camouflaging and unpredictability.
Lin Yun appears at his back and sends out a laser blade. That's all it takes to take the man down.
The blade light passes through his throat. He tries to close it with his hands but does not work. He slowly collapse on the floor.
Lin Yun hurriedly invades his mind and try to pick up memories.
"I was too negligent. I did not change my feature when I came out of the city. " Lin Yun sighs.
He holds his fist. " I have not even started on him for coveting my woman and killing old Lin Yun. He already send an assassin to me. Since I kill this one, he will send more stronger one next. It's troublesome"
Yup, the assassin was sent by Huo Long. Another good information from the assassin is that the missing cases in the capital are related to third prince. Huo Long is planning to use it to topple the second prince and third prince.
The horse is already death. He has to walk towards Fragrance town. Lin Yun throws a fire ball into the dead body and burns it down. Then, he changes features and starts walking.
He may have reached the town today if he rides the horse. But now, it will be good if he can reach there by next afternoon.
There is no high level wild beast in the forest. Level 2 wild beast is the highest here. It's because here is very near to big settlements.
He spends the night in the forest.
Next day, after he leaves the forest, he meets a group of people fighting. Three men are fighting a girl. She is wounded all over.
"Liu Bao, Don't go to far. You will die when my big brother comes back" The girl shouts angrily.
"Susu, going far? Wasn't it your big brother who seduced our big sister and stole away our Liu family secrete recipe. Big sister had to jump down from the cliff. Luckily she survived and come back"
"Haha, she is not big sister anymore. She is just a demon possessing your big sister's body" The girl retorts.
"Shut up! Susu, surrender and serve us three brothers. We will spare your life" The man called Liu Bao says.
"I rather die than serving you" The girl shouts back angrily.
"As you wish" He strikes out a killing blow.
The girl closes her eyes. She has no strength to fight back. She is exhausted and wounded all over.
A blade light comes and strikes on Liu Bao's wrist and his swords fall down on the ground.
"Ah! My hand" His hand has been pierced.
"Who is it?" The other two shouts looking around vigilantly.
"Three grown man bullying a girl. Isn't it shameful?" Lin Yun walks up.
The girl thinks she is going to die and the strike does not come. So, she opens her eyes and sees the current drama.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle the affairs of Fragrance town Liu Family?" Liu Bao asks after applying some healing ointment on the wound.
"Oh Fragrance Town? Do you know anything about the mysterious deaths in Fragrance Town?"
Lin Yun asks.
"It's not mysterious deaths. It's the demoness possessing their sister who sucks the men's vital energies" The girl answers instead.
"Shut up, we will deal you sooner or later. We will deal this meddlesome, brat first" Liu Bao shouts angrily.
"Thank you, young master for saving me earlier. You can't deal all of them. Please leave first" The girl says to Lin Yun.
"Do you think he can leave?" Liu Bao asks coldly and surrounds them.
"It's troublesome" Lin Yun shoots three blade lights to them.
"What's with the toy?" Liu Bao teases.
"Looks down your chest" Lin Yun lightly says.
"Ah!" They scream and fall down. Their chest has been pierced. They are just martial artists.
"What!" the girl is shocked too.
"What's your name?" He asks the girl.
"ah! Thank you. I am Zhang Susu" The girl replies.
"Ok Zhang Susu, let me check your wound. It's serious. If not attended in time, you may be crippled"
"Okay" She lets him check on her wounds.
