The Flower of Sin

"Master, I want to practice a bit before going to sleep."

Even though it was already dark but the night was still early for Xiao Chen to rest, he wanted to find a quiet place and consume Water Ginseng as usual.

"Don't go too far, this place is not very safe." Fang An didn't forbid him, he felt that Xiao Chen had the ability to protect himself to a certain degree.

Xiao Chen nodded slowly before leaving Fang An alone, he knew that every night during their journey, Fang An trained his internal strength again.

"Master's condition has indeed gotten better compared to before but still needs time to fully recover." Xiao Chen thought as he shook his head.

Fang An's internal injuries were indeed very serious, if it weren't for the quality of the bones and internal energy he possessed when he received the wound, Fang An would probably have died within a few days or at least become paralyzed.

Fang An was still able to live like now and only having a light cough every night was already showing the greatness of his talent.

Xiao Chen believed that if Fang An was born in a large sect and obtained resources that matched his talent, Fang An could become one of the ten or five strongest figures in the martial world before he was 50 years old.

"As long as Master's internal injuries are healed, he can still reach the pinnacle of martial arts, it's just that it's taking longer than it should…" Xiao Chen muttered under his breath as he looked for a quiet place, the guards didn't seem to care about his presence.

After discovering that he was a disciple of the Valley of the Hundred Swords, the way the guards looked at Xiao Chen became completely different. Especially when they realized Fang An was a skilled swordsman, someone who could end their lives without difficulty.

Xiao Chen went to a quiet area not too far from the party's camp, he then sat cross-legged and took out a Water Ginseng. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen swallowed the ginseng and began to absorb its nutrients.

The first time he consumed Water Ginseng, it took Xiao Chen eight hours to absorb all the nutrients it contained but since possessing the Beast Tiger Bone he only needed two hours to absorb a 10 to 20 year old Water Ginseng.

If Xiao Chen practiced non-stop, he could absorb ten to twelve Water Ginseng every day, but Xiao Chen was worried that there would be side effects. As far as Xiao Chen knew, there wasn't any warrior who could regularly consume Water Ginseng every day.

Some large sects might have enough wealth to do so but no one would spend that much resources on a single person, let alone use up several Water Ginseng level resources in one day.

"Back then the Water Ginseng wasn't that expensive because the Valley of the Hundred Swords harvested and sold it in large quantities, causing many resources of its level to suffer a price drop as well. Now that the price of a Water Ginseng class resource is still very high, I feel like the richest person in the martial world can train like this." Xiao Chen laughed to himself.

Originally Xiao Chen intended to consume two Water Ginseng tonight, but just as he was about to swallow the second ginseng, he felt a movement in the trees not far from where he sat cross-legged.

"One… Two… Three… Three second class warriors…" Xiao Chen's eyes could see quite well in the darkness, he could see three people wearing silver masks watching Liu Cheng's camp from the top of a tree.

One of the three noticed the presence of Xiao Chen who was still in a cross-legged sitting position, he thought that Xiao Chen had not noticed their presence, after all, Xiao Chen and them were quite far apart. Even a first-class warrior would not be able to detect the presence of the three at this distance.

The three masked warriors still watched the camp for a while before leaving without a sound.

"From their movements, they weren't just spies but trained to kill…" Xiao Chen sighed, he then remembered an assassination organization that matched the characteristics of the three people he saw.

The Flower of Sin, the largest assassination organization in the Han Empire. They will kill anyone as long as they get paid properly. Its members are divided into several levels, namely bronze masks, silver masks, gold masks and purple masks.

The assassin wearing the bronze mask had abilities on par with a third-class warrior, the silver mask was on par with a second-class warrior, the gold mask had the abilities of a first-class warrior while the purple mask, the most elite members had the ability on par with an expert warrior.

This organization was still relatively young, only around a hundred years old but their track record was long and the Flower of Sin was feared by many.

"As I recall the Sin Flower was destroyed because they killed the prime disciple of one of the strongest sects of the white sect several years before the Chaos Era began…" Xiao Chen rubbed his chin as he tried to remember.

The biggest mistake of the Sin Flower is that they feel they have the ability to face one of the strongest sects of the white sect because they almost never fail in carrying out their missions.

Indeed, one of the strongest sects of the white sect had to pay quite a heavy price to eradicate the Flower of Sin from the martial world. Xiao Chen heard that there were at least three hundred purple-masked assassins joining the Flower of Sin, some of which were on par with titled warriors.

"They definitely don't know that this Young Master of the Liu family is being protected by an expert warrior, moreover this person is an illusionist who possesses great abilities." Xiao Chen slowly shook his head, if not for his refined perception and experience from his previous life, Xiao Chen would definitely not be able to detect Wu Ya's presence.

Xiao Chen scratched his head, he chose not to think about it too much as he felt it was none of his business. Xiao Chen then returned to the tent and told Fang An about the incident.

"Silver mask? Second-class warrior?" After hearing Xiao Chen's story, Fang An pondered for a bit, "It's possible that they are from the Flower of Sin, not necessarily that they are targeting Young Master Liu."

"Master mean?" Xiao Chen furrowed his forehead.

Fang An tells that while escorting Yin Song back to the palace, they were intercepted by assassins from the Flower of Sin. Fang An fights and manages to seriously injure a purple mask assassin and kill several gold mask assassins who tried to attack Yin Song.

Fang An thought there was a possibility that the Flower of Sin was coming to seek revenge on him.
