Chapter 993: Chapter 991: Controlling the Hidden Sword

"You really don’t know what kind of charm you have that attracts so many women to fall for you."

Ji Ruxue said softly.

"So, when did you start liking me? And why do you like me?"

Xiao Yifeng asked.

"I don’t know. Maybe it was the first time we met, maybe it was when you saved me at the bar, or maybe it was when you were willing to give up your own life for me at the Tianyin Sect, enduring such great pain."

"I don’t know when I started liking you either. As for why, I don’t know. You’re like a magnet, attracting women to fall for you without them even realizing it."

Ji Ruxue spoke indifferently, her gaze flickering.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, the sound of fighting erupted from outside the villa.

Xiao Yifeng swept his gaze with his penetrating eyes, and his pupils froze.

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Ruxue’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

"It’s nothing, you rest. I’ll go out for a bit."

Xiao Yifeng said, quickly got out of bed, dressed, and walked out.

In the yard outside the villa, a man in black was kneeling on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth, as Jian Yun held a longsword against his throat, and Tian Tu was grasping his shoulder.

"Young Master, this guy sneaked into the villa and we caught him."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng come out, Jian Yun spoke directly.

"Is it you? Are you here to attempt on my life again?"

Xiao Yifeng’s gaze fell upon the man in black, who was the Hidden Assasin from the fight at General Lake.

If Ji Ruxue hadn’t shown up in the nick of time, he probably would have died at the man’s hands.

He didn’t expect the man to strike again today and his power had already advanced to the Middle Stage of the Entering Saint Realm. However, he hadn’t expected to be captured before even seeing Xiao Yifeng’s face.

Though this Hidden Sword was skilled in hiding and combat, he faced the abnormal prowess of Tian Tu and Jian Yun.

As soon as he appeared near the villa, they discovered him and the fight began. Facing the combined assault of Tian Tu and Jian Yun, Hidden Sword didn’t even have a chance to flee before being captured.

"If you’re going to kill, then kill!"

Hidden Sword spoke with a detached expression.

"I really want to know who keeps sending you to attack me time and again."

Xiao Yifeng said coldly.

"I don’t know!"

Hidden Sword replied hoarsely and coldly.

Soul-Capturing Eyes!

Xiao Yifeng activated his Soul-Capturing Eyes immediately, his eyes shining with a purple halo, instantly rendering Hidden Sword’s gaze blank.

"State your name and identity."

"Hidden Sword, top young assassin of the Shadow Assassination Organization."

Hidden Sword replied with a dull look on his face.

"Who directed you Shadow Assassins to attack me?"

Xiao Yifeng asked. He had encountered several assaults from Shadow Assassins before, and none knew who assigned them to strike against Xiao Yifeng.

This time, Xiao Yifeng was trying his luck as Hidden Sword was not a weakling; perhaps his status in the organization was unusual, so he might know who it was. Unexpectedly, Hidden Sword actually knew.

"It’s the Head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ding, who ordered us Shadow Assassins."

Hidden Sword said in a monotone voice.

"Him!"

A cold glint burst from Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

"What have you done to me?"

By this time, Hidden Sword came to his senses, his complexion changed, and his gaze fixed on Xiao Yifeng.

"Thank you for letting me know who wants to strike against me."

Xiao Yifeng said flatly.

"How could this be?"

Hidden Sword’s expression tightened, disbelief evident in his eyes.

"Now, I’ll give you two choices, either follow me or die!"

"A Shadow Assassin member must never betray for life. Just kill me."

Hidden Sword said resolutely.

"It seems you’re really forcing me to take action against you."

Xiao Yifeng sighed and executed Spirit Control.

Ten minutes later, Hidden Sword had been controlled by Xiao Yifeng’s Spirit Control.

"Is there any way to revoke the assassination order against me by the Shadow Assassins?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at the controlled Hidden Sword and spoke.

"No way. You have killed many members of Shadow Assassins, and now there is an order for your elimination, determined to kill you no matter what."

Hidden Sword’s voice was cold.

"Damn, that’s ruthless, even an elimination order."

A light flashed in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, and he said, "How strong is the Shadow Assassination Organization? Do they have Celestial Bings Realm experts?"

"Shadow Assassins have four Hidden Masters of the Celestial Bings Realm in charge, each controlling one Shadow Assassins squad. I am under the command of the Sword Sha Hidden Master, and the previous attackers also belong to Sword Sha Hidden Master’s squad."

Hidden Sword disclosed each detail.

"Is there someone stronger than your Hidden Masters? What level have the four Hidden Masters reached?"

Xiao Yifeng continued to inquire.

"The four Hidden Masters are at the very least at the Late Stage of the Celestial Bings Realm. Above the Hidden Masters, there is one Hidden Sect Leader who controls the entire Shadow Assassination Organization, but he has never appeared. Apart from the four Hidden Masters, no one has seen the Hidden Sect Leader."

Hidden Sword explained.

"Good, now you return to the Shadow Assassins and get a clear picture of their situation, and keep me updated on their moves and instructions."

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master!"

Hidden Sword nodded his head in agreement and left obediently.

Such was the power of Spirit Control; once controlled, the person would inherently obey the one who had employed it.

"Xiao Ding, I’ll let you and your spouse live a while longer. Just wait, your good days are about to end."

Xiao Yifeng murmured to himself, his eyes twinkling with a cold sharpness.

In the Martial Arts World, on Shu Mountain.

At this moment, in the deep of night, Shu Mountain was engulfed in quietude as well. Aside from the guards on duty, others had already gone to sleep or continued their cultivation.

A figure appeared in the location of the Treasure Pavilion at the back of Shu Mountain.

"Young Master Lv, why have you come here at this late hour?"

Two guards, both at the High Completion stage of the Entering Saint Realm, stood guard outside the Treasure Pavilion, their eyes showing surprise as they saw Lv Yichen appear.

"I’m here to get something!"

Lv Yichen said with an icy expression.

"Young Master Lv, do you have the Sect Leader’s or Tianji Peak’s Peak Master’s token? Without a token, you cannot enter the Treasure Pavilion."

The two guards said to Lv Yichen.
