'Devil Heart'

The Masked Man's real plan was to use the Tempting berserk powder to lure the monster towards Fu Guang's carriage and kill the guards.

After killing the guards, he would have easily dealt with the target – Fu Guang. However, an unexpected variable appeared...Ye Xian, who came in perfect time and disrupted his plan.

He knows he's no match for the young man before him, after seeing his spirit skill is useless against Ye Xian. He cursed his bad luck for encountering a human-shaped monster.

The masked man must be jesting, fighting Ye Xian with spirit energy. It can only be described in one word-'courting death'.

If he used his soul realm strength, he could have stood a chance but from the looks of it, the masked man is clearly weak in a divine way. Otherwise, he would have done that a long time ago.

Noticing the masked man's hesitant expression, Ye Xian shook his head in disappointment. He thought since the other party is an assassin, he would have an exciting fight but looks like he's wrong.

This can't be blamed on the masked man, he is only a little nobody in the assassination world. Even though he learned a spirit skill, compared Ye Xian he's just an insignificant person.

Moreover, he only broke through to soul realm using the Alchemy pills so he doesn't have much strength in the Divine way.

The Masked man reckoned that this is the worst day of his life. He was a very cautious person by nature, that's one of the reasons why he's still alive after taking many assassination missions.

The sudden deviation of the situation caused the masked man's original plan to crumble. To make the situation worse, the youngster was a powerful spirit master.

Despite being a spirit master, he has yet to reach the level where he can face against another spirit master. Thus, the dangerous situation and the fear of 'going to die' made him break out in a cold sweat.

The Masked man quickly calmed himself and hurriedly took out a small pill from his pocket to replenish his spirit energy; As the earlier attack against Ye Xian drained more than seventy percent of his spirit energy.

Ye Xian thought the masked man is going to fight again, but surprisingly the masked man suddenly executed a weird foot style, disappearing from the view of others; 'He decided to flee.'

His movement techniques are weird and fast, like a shadow, his figure disappeared and appeared far away from the Fu Guang's group.

Unlike Ye Xian, Fu Guang and the guards only saw the masked man disappearing from their sight like a ghost.

Ye Xian was able to notice the masked man, thanks to his spirit energy, otherwise, he too would have lost sight of the masked man.

Seeing the 'Masked man's' retreating figure, Ye Xian shook his head and 'whistled'.

A shadow flashed past the tree, it's speed was astonishingly fast as that of lightning. Even Ye Xian was only able to saw a flickering shadow.

Even before the masked man could react, the shadow arrived before him. The masked man was only able to catch the glimpse of the shadow which was covered by dark spirit energy.

The shadow easily penetrated the masked man's chest like that of a paper and descended on the Ye Xian's shoulder, and it watched the confused masked man like an innocent bystander. It's none other than 'Little Jade'.

"Good Job, Little Jade" Ye Xian praised as he gently stroked it soft furs.

The surrounding guards and Fu Guang only saw the disappearance of the masked man and by the next second, the masked man emerged some distance away from them.

The only difference is, this time, there is a gaping hole in his chest, size of a cricket ball. Holly Hell, they could even see the other end of the hole.

They didn't understand and couldn't grasp what happened?; Within a second, everything changed before them.

If the masked man was facing the attack head on or known it beforehand, he could have used his essence energy to protect his body.

Pity, he encountered a spirit beast which is frighteningly fast and agile; Moreover, he was also sneak attacked, there's no chance he could defend it.

Even before planning to help the Fu Guang group, Ye Xian instructed the Little Jade to follow him in secrecy, in case of encountering any unexpected incidents, like now.

Even though this time he didn't encounter any strong opponents, that can't be said for the future. There is nothing wrong in being cautious and having a trump card.

The masked man slowly knelt on the ground, his face is deathly pale. Even now he couldn't understand what happened, he barely saw a shadow flash past him and in the next second, there's a fist-sized hole in his chest.

He knows he's dying as his vision is dimming and his consciousness is being pulled by some sort of string.

He raised his head and looked at Ye Xian. He wanted to speak something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Ye Xian knows what the masked man wanted, with a thought a sword appeared in his hand.

He raised the 'First Born' sword in his hand and slit across the Masked Man's throat. From his throat, red blood sprayed out, embracing the entire ground; His body gradually became weak and fell lifelessly on the ground with a 'thud' sound.

Ye Xian searched the masked man's corpse and found some money, dagger, pills and a token.

When Ye Xian saw the token, his calm expression turned into that of a serious one. The reason for that is, the name mentioned in the token.

From Ji Yueli, he heard there is a terrifying organization in the continent, skilled in an assassination. They are like a ghost and devil, appearing anywhere and everywhere; Killing whoever they want.

They kill their target without a fail, even if it's an origin realm expert. Till now, no one is able to find where this organization is located.

Even if the experts capture the assassin, its only for naught. The Assassin itself doesn't know anything about the organization.

When there is a critical mission, the assassins will be notified about the mission information and difficulty. They can choose to accept or reject it.

In Normal times, a superior will inform them about the various missions available and they can select the mission to their liking. The same applies to anything if they want like skills, techniques, Formation plates, Alchemy pills, weapons, etc.

They can buy anything they want, using the assassination points they get from the completing the mission.

The Organization is like a system, but nobody knows who's 'system' it is. Without knowing it, nobody can do anything about it.

The only thing everybody knows is the name of that organization - 'Devil Heart'. Surprisingly and horrifyingly, the same name is mentioned in the token, he obtained from the masked man.

'Could it be the masked man is from the 'Devil Heart' organization?.'

'It's possible, but his strength is weak, maybe he was only an insignificant member in the organization.'

'Since he is from that organization, then someone hired a 'Devil Heart' to kill Fu Guang.'

'It's Bad! If the Masked Man is someone from the 'Devil Heart' then they will send another assassin after they perceive the masked man is dead. But, how do they know he is dead?'

'There must be something in the assassin which let them know he is dead.' Ye Xian was seriously contemplating the issue, then he suddenly looked at the token in his hand. Ye Xian quickly inserted his spirit energy in the token and found a row of information,

Devil Heart

Name: Night Ghost

Kills: 11

'This is an Array Token'

'They installed such a high-grade array in it!!. It even includes many seals and formations; Possibly designed by an Emperor ranked Numinous master or above.'

'Moreover, it has Life observer, a Location detector, soul binding, and many other formations. It's bad! If the Array token is soul blinded one, they will immediately come to know the masked man is dead.'

'Even though my spirit energy is not high, I can at least change 'life observer' formation, so that it will display the Masked man is still alive.'

'Thankfully, it was built by some low-level Numinous Master. If it was arranged by some high-level Numinous Master, even I won't be able to do anything about it.

Ye Xian quickly inserted his spirit energy and erased the soul bound by the masked man. He carefully and skillfully began to change the formation related to that of 'life observer' formation.

'Such a pain'; They even included the 'self-destruct' formation inside the token. If someone forcibly tries to peer into the information related of that organization, the token will instantly destroy itself.'

Fu Guang wanted to approach Ye Xian and 'Thank' him, but after seeing Ye Xian is intently looking at something in his hand, he changed his mind.

Within a few minutes, beads of sweat formed in Ye Xian's forehead. His face unveiled an exhausted expression.

'Done!'

Ye Xian let out a sigh of relief. 'Thankfully, I didn't touch any core formations related to the organization, otherwise, the token would have self-destructed.'

Now he understood why nobody was able to anything to the organization.
