Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me ‘Husband’
Chapter 169: Yeah, that little girl, come out here

Three days ago.

At a corner table in the Happy Goat Hot Pot Restaurant, several martial artists were sitting. They ordered five servings of lamb meat, dipped it in sesame paste, and ate until they were sweating profusely and couldn't stop using their chopsticks.

They didn't look like the feared killers at all.

That's right.

They were all human butchers from the Misty Rain Tower.

"I wonder what the 'Imminent Storm Order' suddenly issued by the Yunzhou branch is all about?"

"I've been away from the blade for a long time. It's time to do a big job. Now that Yunzhou City is in turmoil, it's a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

A human butcher with a bald head, bald eyebrows, and a rather fierce appearance spoke up.

Among the killers in the Misty Rain Tower, there was no hierarchical relationship.

However, the 'Imminent Storm Order' was directly issued by the main tower.

"I heard that the Holy Maiden of our tower will also come to Yunzhou this time."

A killer wrapped in black bandages said mysteriously.

"Is the Heavenly Demoness also coming?"

"Even she has been alerted. It seems that the tower has a major plan."

All the killers were very shocked.

The Heavenly Demoness of the Misty Rain Tower was the most prominent young genius killer in the Misty Rain Tower. She had assassinated three prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

It was rumored that she could change her appearance at will, making it impossible to guard against. Her swordsmanship was extremely strange.

"It seems that we will have to cooperate this time."

The bald - eyebrowed human butcher's eyes were solemn.

After the killers exchanged glances, they all nodded.

It seemed that they had great respect for this bald - headed killer.

"Boss Tu, I'll toast you."

"This hot pot is really good. I wonder if there are any branches in Yunzhou City?"

"After this job is done, I'll definitely eat a few more plates of mutton."

The killers were chatting.

Suddenly, a killer who had remained silent all the time had a sudden change in his deep eyes.

"Look, who's that?"

"Huh?"

All the killers were stunned.

This human butcher was also very famous, known as the Blind - eyed Swordmaster of Doom.

When he looked at someone with such a look, it meant that he had the intention to kill, and that person would surely die!

"Li Mo?"

Every killer, upon arriving in a new place, would first go to the secret tower to exchange information and naturally see various bounties.

Li Mo's portrait was on the bounty list.

And the price was quite high.

The price was high, but his cultivation level was low. Perhaps it was because of his status as a true disciple of the Qingyuan Sect that no one had been able to get the bounty?

"Is he also going to the Martial Arts Summit?"

"We can just do a job here."

"Let's do it after we leave the Purple Sun Prefecture. It's too close to the Qingyuan Sect here..."

The killers hit it off.

After eating a few more plates of mutton, they used their tracking skills and followed the Qingyuan Sect's convoy all the time.

Until today, after confirming that there were no senior masters from the sect following, they jumped out.

Then they blocked the Qingyuan Sect's carriage.

"This mountain is opened by me, and these trees are planted by me!"

"We're killers. What the hell are you shouting?"

"Hey, it sounds more imposing this way..."

Indeed.

The killers were strangely dressed and used all kinds of strange weapons.

Standing there, they really had a bit of a murderous aura.

"Be sensible and hand over Li Mo."

"I can spare the rest of you."

The knife - wielding man with squinted eyes said in a deep voice.

"Me?"

Li Mo, who had just gotten off the carriage, was stunned.

He thought they were just highway robbers.

He didn't expect to be named as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Heh, you'd better be sensible."

The killer who used to be a bandit sneered:

"See these guys? They're all human - butcher killers from the Misty Rain Tower, who can make children stop crying at night."

"This one is known as the Blood - handed Bald Eagle in the Jianghu. Every time he kills a person, he plucks a hair. Later, when his hair was all gone, he plucked his eyebrows. Just look at how bald he is. Are you scared?"

"And the one on my left is the Blind - eyed Swordmaster of Doom. Those who have been looked at by his squinted eyes won't live through tonight!"

"Of course, the one behind me is even more powerful. It is rumored that the souls of those killed by him will be sucked into his body and imprinted on him. Once the bandages are removed, it will be a scene of thousands of ghosts roaming at night!"

"And me, the Jade - faced Flying Dragon..."

The killer who called himself the Jade - faced Flying Dragon rambled on and on.

The people from the Qingyuan Sect looked skeptical.

"What realms are they in?"

"Observation of the Divine. The highest one should be at the Three - Aperture realm."

"Then what are they showing off for?"

"Scaring children at night? Don't they know who Li Shidi's master is?"

The others even thought that these clowns were just here to attract attention.

But after a brief exploration, there were no ambushes nearby.

The senior brothers and sisters were a bit confused for a moment and didn't make a move immediately.

"Hehe, I know it's hard for you to just hand over someone without doing anything."

The one who called himself the Jade - faced Flying Dragon held his head high:

"Alright, I'll pick one of you to have a one - on - one fight with me, and then you'll know how powerful I am."

His eyes scanned the crowd.

As is well - known, some people are born to be the protagonists and are more likely to be the focus of the crowd.

For example, Ying Bing.

He pointed at her:

"Yes, you, that girl. Come out and see how great I am!"

Ying Bing: "?"

Li Mo: "....."

Jiang Chulong: "Big Brother Li, why are you covering my eyes?"

Li Mo sighed and said, "Don't watch, kid."

The scene was extremely gruesome.

Even Ouyang, who had been quite angry before, swallowed hard and thought that those stupid assassins didn't really deserve such a fate.

All the disciples of the Qingyuan Sect looked up at the sky and consciously helped keep watch.

Very quickly.

The several injured assassins were all subdued.

"Let's tie them up first," said Shen Yunfei, the eldest senior brother.

"I'm an expert in this area."

Ouyang volunteered and stepped forward to tie them up.

A moment later.

The group of assassins were tied up in a tortoise - shell bondage, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

And extremely ashamed.

Li Mo said, "Senior brother, you seem very experienced."

Ouyang scratched his chin and gave a sheepish smile. "Well, art comes from life... Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."

Li Mo: "..."

"How should we deal with them?"

"These assassins claim to have killed countless people. They're clearly not good guys. We might as well just kill them and rid the people of a scourge."

"Yeah, it's good to kill these evil heretics."

"I wonder why they came after me?"

Several senior brothers and sisters started discussing how to dispose of the assassins.

The assassins looked at the tortoise - shell bondage on their bodies and recalled the experience of being tortured by that... that female demon just now.

Damn it, who the hell are the evil heretics here?

Li Mo narrowed his eyes.

He activated his Heavenly Destiny Divine Eyes.

[Name: Zhang Erdan]

[Age: 41]

[Spiritual Root: Toad Skin]

[Cultivation Realm: Two Apertures of Divine Observation]

[Evaluation: Ten years ago in the Inescapable Trial, he survived until the end by pretending to be a corpse thanks to his sensitive nose. He wraps himself up because his skin is ugly and pitted.]

[Recent Encounter: Ordered by the Rain - Imminent Order of the main building to go to Yunzhou City]

What the heck is a Toad Skin spiritual root...

But that wasn't the main point.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Rain - Imminent Order?

So, the Drizzling Tower has designs on Yunzhou?

It's not that Li Mo was being nosy.

They themselves were going to stay in Yunzhou for a while. If there was a big commotion, they wouldn't be able to stay out of it.

Thinking of this, Li Mo said,

"How about we temporarily detain these guys and lock them up for interrogation?"
