Chapter 883 I wanted to save it for the future... 'The Target just walked into the Inn.' Keeve spoke as he watched a certain Emperor Stage Cultivator walking inside an Inn. 'Follow him inside.' Wysten ordered. 'I am doing that already.' Keeve replied, although Wysten was the Leader of Shadow Unit, which was now called Shadow Legion, the group Thyra trusted the most, Keeve still didn't like taking orders this obvious. He felt that he was being treated like a fool. He sighed, then, he walked into the inn and kept an eye on the situation. 'He booked a room now. He is planning to stay here.' He reported. 'Heh, we finally have a chance.' Wyot spoke with a confident smile on his face. 'Activate the Mark.' Wysten ordered. 'I am doing it already.' Reeve replied. A white sphere appeared in his hand, the sphere then shined and soon, it dispersed into the air. 'It is done.' Reeve reported. 'Get ready.' Wysten ordered. The five of them then walked into the portal. Then, they waited. The Emperor Stage Cultivator ate, had a casual talk with other cultivators in the area, then, 3 hours later, he finally walked into his room. The man looked around the room then, he climbed on the bed, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Yes, he was cultivating. Without knowing what kind of danger was around him. Suddenly, a white portal formed at the corner of the room. 5 masked men wearing black clothes walked out of the portal and without waiting, they attacked the Emperor who was cultivating. "!!!" *Clank* Before the Emperor could react to all this, the men of Shadow Legion had already attacked. He barely defended Keeve's dagger, however, that dagger was meant to be blocked. The Emperor realized it too late, that attack was done on purpose, the enemy wanted him to block his attack, now, his arms were stuck in this position. "Uggghhh!!" And just as he expected, a dagger pierced into his lats. He groaned in pain, however, things didn't end there. Since the strength in his arms wavered, Keeve's dagger moved and cut through his finger. "AAaaggghhh-Mmnnffff!!" He shouted, but soon, Wysten placed his hand on the Emperor's mouth, then, his heart was pierced through, and soon, the Emperor lost all his strength and stopped moving. He was dead. The five assassins confirmed that the target was dead, once they were sure, they quickly turned towards the portal, getting ready to leave, however, the moment they turned around, their expression froze. A man stood near the Portal, looking at them with a curious expression on his face. "A teleportation spell huh... This is the first time I have seen a spell like this, no wonder your Assassin Hall was able to rise so quickly. An ability to come and go wherever you want so freely, it is as if this ability was created for the assassins. Anyways, why can I not access this Portal thingy? Is this something only you guys can use? Is it some sort of spell? It looks quite advance. Where did you guys get it from?" The man spoke with a curious look on his face as he tried to get inside the Portal but couldn't. Wysten and the other 4 narrowed their eyes. 'He is strong...' Wysten spoke. 'He is a Great Sage.' Reeve spoke with a solemn look on his face. 'Report it.' Keeve spoke. Wysten nodded. Then, the Shadow Legion prepared themselves. Seeing them acting like that, the Great Sage tilted his head in confusion, "You guys do realize that you stand no chance against me, correct?" "..." Keeve and the others didn't reply. Seeing this, the Great Sage just sighed, "Look, let's not make it complicated alright? According to the rules, once the assassin is caught, he is supposed to answer all the questions he has been asked. So answer this, Were you the ones who killed Young Master Atticus? Well, seeing this ability, I have no doubts that it was you guys, since the Young Master was killed inside a closed room, only you guys have the ability to do it and get away scot-free. But I still need an answer from you guys, you know, we need a 'reason' to pursue this matter. Haahh... all this political stuff, so annoying, isn't it? Anyways, just admit that it was ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall that assassinated Young Master Atticus and you are free to leave." The Great Sage spoke with a lazy look on his face. Honestly, he didn't think that this job was difficult, the assassins usually give in since that is the rule set by the Assassin Hall and no Assassin dared to go against it, however, the Shadow Legion stayed silent. "Oi, say it." The Great Sage spoke. "..." The Shadow Legion stayed silent. The Great Sage, who realized that they wouldn't say what he wanted them to, his expression changed, Then, he rushed towards the 5 of them. "To think you would go against the rules set up by the Assassin Hall, heh, you are quite bold. But oh well, it is always more fun to break the tougher toy." Saying those words, the Great Sage attacked. ... "It is the Edge Clan." On the other side, Amaya, who was discussing this situation with Nux, Thyra, and other women in the main Hall, spoke. The moment she heard of this room, her information hall moved, soon, the person who issued the mission was investigated, his connections with the Edge Guild were found and within just 1 hour, Amaya understood the entire situation. "The named Mission was a trap set by the Edge Clan. They lured us in order to capture us, I think they plan on using the assassins' words as a 'reason' to attack the ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall. A War between ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall and the Edge Clan is inevitable." "And since Thyra and Skyla are part of the Assassin Hall..." "Yes, their life is in danger as well." Amaya completed Nux's words. Nux's expression changed. Things were worse than he thought. "You think there would only be a Great Sage there?" "Not possible, I am sure there are stronger cultivators hiding there. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Leader of the Clan, the Saint Stage Cultivator was there as well." "Haaahh..." Nux sighed. Then, he groaned, "I wanted to save it for the future..."
