Chapter 211: The Killer Comes Knocking

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Killer Comes Knocking"Senior Sister, I can handle it."

Seeing Senior Sister’s stubbornness gave Lin Chen a headache.

Lin Chen knew well that now was not the time to show off, but at the moment, there was no one else but him who could deal with the people from Moon Shadow Pavilion and gather intelligence.

Zhao Yijing was too familiar to the assassins of Moon Shadow Pavilion; naturally, infiltration was out of the question.

"I know you’re doing this for the sect, Junior Brother, but you have no idea how terrifying the assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion are."

"Once your identity is revealed, if you fall into their hands..."

Zhao Yijing didn’t dare to continue, because she knew all too well the fate of those who fell into the hands of Moon Shadow Pavilion.

Falling into the hands of the assassins meant that death was the best form of release.

Moon Shadow Pavilion was one of the top assassin organizations in the entire Eastern Domain; if Jade Cauldron Sect truly became a target, the consequences were unimaginable.

Despite Jade Cauldron Sect’s strength, it seemed rather insignificant in front of Moon Shadow Pavilion’s massive assassin organization.

Moreover, the fact that Moon Shadow Pavilion and Black Cloud Sect were both under the same powerful organization, Red Soul Hall, was unbelievable to Zhao Yijing. She felt that even the sect leader would have a great headache over this.

This was not something that Zhao Yijing could decide on her own. She didn’t want Lin Chen to die in vain, and even she felt fear at the mention of Moon Shadow Pavilion.

"Junior Brother, you must come back with me. This matter must be decided by the sect leader and Master."

Zhao Yijing was worried about Lin Chen and didn’t want him to return to Moon Shadow Pavilion.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I have my ways. Even if I can’t gather any information, I won’t let myself be in danger. Do I look like someone who’s rushing to die?"

"Although Moon Shadow Pavilion has vast power, the head of their Great Flame Dynasty branch shouldn’t surpass our sect leader.

That’s why they resorted to such schemes and plots instead of confronting Jade Cauldron Sect directly.

If he indeed discovers my identity, I also have ways to escape. Don’t worry."

"But still..."

However, Zhao Yijing remained worried and still refused to let Lin Chen go.

"No good, our location has been discovered, and the assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion are on to us; we need to leave first."

As he spoke, Lin Chen grabbed Zhao Yijing’s hand and headed deeper into the cave.

As soon as Lin Chen had reached the area, he had Spiritual Bees watch outside and others to explore inside the cave. He discovered the cave wasn’t sealed, but rather, it extended to another area of the forest.

Through the Spiritual Bees, Lin Chen noticed there were over twenty pursuers, the strongest at the Fifth Layer of Melding Earth Realm, with even the weakest at the Eighth Level of Spirit Gathering Realm.

With Lin Chen’s strength, breaking out was not difficult. Although Zhao Yijing was injured and couldn’t perform at her peak, dealing with these Earth Melding Realm martial artists was not a problem for her.

However, with the sheer number of opponents, it was impossible for Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing to kill them all immediately—if they attracted the attention of stronger members of Moon Shadow Pavilion, that would mean trouble.

As Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing advanced, the assassins following behind were silently slain by their hands.

"Something’s not right; pass the command, tell them not to act separately and to gather together."

The leader of the assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion suddenly sensed something was amiss and gave orders to the others.

Since discovering Zhao Yijing’s whereabouts in the cave, things didn’t seem right. Many of their brethren had gone inside, but as time passed, some began to disappear, and no word came back from them.

Next to the leading male, another assassin frowned tightly and hurriedly took out a Communication Token to send a message to the others.

At that moment, this leading male and two other assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion were waiting at the other end of the cave.

They had already surveyed the terrain and found that the cave was connected. After learning that Zhao Yijing and others were hiding inside, he ordered his men to

Next to the leading assassin, the one responsible for sending messages furrowed his brows even more, having a bad premonition.

"Heh, no need for calls anymore. They have stayed in the cave forever, and as for you, you’ll be joining them soon."

Looking at the assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion before him, Lin Chen smiled faintly and then unleashed an unmatched burst of speed, charging toward the three assassins.

Even Zhao Yijing beside him was extremely surprised, but she was concerned about Lin Chen’s strength. Her injuries hadn’t healed, and it wasn’t certain she could quickly kill the assassin in front of her at the Fifth Layer of Melding Earth Realm.

The leading assassin before her was not like those in the cave earlier, with only the First or Second Layer of Melding Earth Realm cultivation.

"Arrogant."

The leading assassin shouted angrily and then clashed with Lin Chen.
