Chapter 285: Hell Organization?

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Hell Organization?

Lin Fan was endlessly grateful and said to Li Rou, "Sister Rou, I really can’t thank you enough, I’m so very grateful!"

"Alas!"

Li Rou sighed, seeming to want to say something to Lin Fan, but in the end, she did not utter a word, her face appearing somewhat troubled.

Lin Fan, observing her expressions and tone, asked, "Sister Rou, do you have something you want to say?"

Li Rou sighed again and finally said, "Lin Fan, you must be very careful during the assessment. If you find yourself outmatched, concede early, and do not be stubborn. Moreover... beware of others’ hidden plots!"

Lin Fan was taken aback, but he quickly understood Li Rou’s implication and asked, "Sister Rou, is there someone planning to ambush me?"

Li Rou nodded and said, "Yes, someone has spent a great deal of money to take your life. Under normal circumstances, within Imperial City, no one would dare to attack you brazenly. However, as the saying goes, ’A spear in the open is easy to dodge but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.’ Therefore, you best be careful of others’ schemes against you."

A sudden killing intent erupted from Lin Fan, who asked, "Sister Rou, who wants to kill me?"

Li Rou shook her head, saying, "I don’t know. They issued the order through the Hell Organization, so no one knows who is behind it!"

Hell Organization?

Lin Fan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Lin Fan knew that the Hell Organization was the most fearsome assassin organization in the entire Dasong Dynasty. It was said that those targeted by the Hell Organization would never escape their fate.

What was even more terrifying was that the Hell Organization could act against their targets within Imperial City, perhaps having reached some kind of agreement with the Dasong Dynasty. The members of the Hell Organization would not be subjected to legal retribution even if they killed someone within Imperial City.

Additionally, for thousands of years, the Hell Organization has been extremely confident, always adhering to one rule: they only send assassins of the same Realm as their target.

For example, Lin Fan’s current cultivation was only at the Earth Profound Realm.

Therefore, the assassins sent by the Hell Organization would also have their cultivation restricted to the Earth Profound Realm.

However, even so, the Hell Organization had never failed in its history, which was evidence enough of the strength of their assassins.

Nevertheless, despite the formidable reputation of the Hell Organization, their fees were exceptionally horrifying, and under normal circumstances, most people would not seek them out.

Lin Fan was very perplexed in his heart. Although he had many enemies, he did not think they would go so far as to hire assassins from the Hell Organization to kill him!

For a moment, Lin Fan could not help but feel annoyed.

Lin Fan felt extremely uncomfortable because his enemies were openly targeting him, yet he did not even know who they were, which made him feel very distressed.

However, Lin Fan quickly regained his composure and said to Li Rou, "Sister Rou, thank you very much!"

Once again, Li Rou shook her head and said, "You don’t need to thank me. Alright, I’m leaving!"

After saying that, Li Rou turned to leave.

However, as if something suddenly occurred to her, Li Rou turned back to look at Lin Fan with a serious expression, "Lin Fan, no matter what, you must remember that you cannot have any accidents. If anything happens to you, I..."

Li Rou did not finish her sentence and quickly left.

Lin Fan watched Li Rou leave, feeling even more puzzled. He couldn’t help but think, "What exactly is going on with Sister Rou? What did she want to tell me? Why didn’t she finish her sentence? Alas!"

"Forget it, I should go and register first!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Afterward, Lin Fan tidied up and left the small building straightaway, heading towards the registration site.

It must be said that the items Li Rou had prepared for Lin Fan were incredibly meticulous, even including a map for the registration, so Lin Fan just needed to follow the map without worrying about getting lost.

"Hm?"

However, as he walked, Lin Fan suddenly came to a stop, his brow furrowing as he looked ahead.

Not far ahead, an old man stood quietly, his face wearing a cold smile, looking at Lin Fan with malicious intent.

At the same time, the old man’s eyes were filled with endless hatred.

This person was none other than Old Dragon Subduing!

Lin Fan immediately felt overwhelmed.

To think that Old Dragon Subduing had actually caught up?

Meanwhile, Lin Fan was already prepared for a fight or to flee.

Lin Fan knew that he was no match for Old Dragon Subduing, so he was waiting for the right moment—if an opportunity arose, he would not hesitate to run away at the first chance.

"Hehe!"

Old Dragon Subduing seemed to see through Lin Fan’s thoughts and chuckled. After speaking indifferently, "Youngster, there’s no need for you to be nervous. In Imperial City, I won’t lay a finger on you, but..."

Here, Old Dragon Subduing’s aura of murderous intent suddenly surged, paused for a moment, and then continued, "However, unless you stay in Imperial City forever, once you leave, I will kill you at the earliest chance!"

"Fend for yourself, hahaha!"

Old Dragon Subduing finished speaking and then slowly walked away.

Lin Fan watched Old Dragon Subduing’s retreating figure and felt a strong surge of murderous intent rising from the depths of his heart.

Lin Fan wished to cut down Old Dragon Subduing in the shortest time possible as this man was extremely detestable. If he was left alive, he would become a huge threat, and there was a chance that Lin Fan might even die by his hand should he make the slightest mistake.

"Still not strong enough!"

In the depths of Lin Fan’s heart, he couldn’t help but sigh once again.

If he was strong enough, he could have simply killed anyone who opposed him without such vexation. However, current lack of strength meant he had to endure...

After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan continued towards the enrollment site of the Royal Academy.

This time, there were no surprises along the way and he arrived smoothly at the enrollment location.

Upon arriving, Lin Fan inhaled sharply as he witnessed a sea of people, with nearly ten thousand applicants forming an incredibly long line.

Fortunately, the enrollment site had several counters, and those responsible for enrolling moved with incredible speed. Lin Fan joined the queue and, before long, it was his turn.

After submitting the materials prepared by Li Rou, the enroller first checked the paperwork, then Lin Fan’s age and cultivation along with other physical conditions. Finally, Lin Fan passed successfully, and he was given a token while being instructed that the assessment for the Royal Academy would start in three days at this location, with a detailed time schedule. If he missed the gathering time, it would be deemed as forfeiting the assessment, and he would not be able to enter the Royal Academy.

Lin Fan nodded, committing all of this to memory.

"Next!"

The enroller called out, and Lin Fan also turned, preparing to leave.

However...

Just as Lin Fan turned around, he was startled to discover that a highly dangerous aura suddenly emerged, locking onto him completely.

A streak of silver light seemed to burst out of thin air, shooting directly towards him.

An ambush!

"Not good!"

Lin Fan swiftly dodged, leaving a residual image behind as he narrowly avoided the sneak attack.

It was also fortunate that Lin Fan had the Universal Image, which provided him a warning the moment he was in danger, giving him enough preparation time. Without it, that sneak attack just now could have easily killed Lin Fan.

Lin Fan felt a surge of relief: "That was truly a close call!"

"Eh?"

A surprised sound echoed from the void.

However, this voice seemed to drift from all directions, making it impossible to discern its exact location.

Lin Fan activated the lock-on feature of the Universal Image.

Soon, the Universal Image completely locked on to the person who launched the sneak attack—a figure shrouded in black armor, silently lurking in a certain part of the surrounding space, his entire body devoid of any detectable energy signature, making him invisible to all.

"Collapsing Character Technique!"

Lin Fan uttered softly as the first move of the Four Character True Elemental Technique was executed. The Illusion Spear, filled with the essence of collapse, shattered the void and rushed straight at the hidden assailant.

The attacker’s face changed dramatically!

He never expected Lin Fan to be able to lock onto his position and launch an attack.

It was too late for him to react, but as a highly skilled assassin, he forcibly dodged at the last moment to avoid a vital hit.

Still, the assassin was gravely injured, letting out a muffled grunt and coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.

"Die!"

Lin Fan shouted decisively and charged forward, intending to kill the assassin on the spot.

However...

By the time Lin Fan made his move, the assassin had already vanished.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan was extremely frustrated: "He escaped?"

Originally, Lin Fan intended to capture the assassin and interrogate them about who was behind the attack. Unfortunately, he was not successful.

"Hell Organization?"

At this moment, among those nearby who were enrolling, someone exclaimed in shock.

The Hell Organization had a notorious reputation in the entire Imperial City, with many feared at the mere mention of its name. Everyone knew that once targeted by the Hell Organization, there was no chance of survival.

Most people who looked at Lin Fan did so with pity in their eyes, believing his death was certain.

At the same time, many were curious as to how this young man, with not so high cultivation, managed to provoke the Hell Organization. It seemed that he had offended someone extremely powerful.
