Chapter 1231: Chapter 1251 Who do you think hired me? _1

Makes sense!

Lin Chen had doubted the strength of Fox Wolf before, and now he has his answer.

He never expected that at this critical moment, a killer would suddenly come to assassinate him, and it happened to be the Fox Wolf from his past!

Qiu Shisan had initially revealed the secret of Yin Yang Valley to him, with the condition that he would avenge her by killing the Fox Wolf.

As an elusive assassin coming and going without leaving any trace, Lin Chen couldn’t locate the Fox Wolf. Since his power wasn’t sufficient back then, he had put this matter on hold, never expected his wish would be fulfilled today.

Lin Chen stared at Fox Wolf and asked, "How did you find me?"

Fox Wolf answered, "The curse mark on your body. I had assigned an assassin to wait for you and then assassinate you. He failed and cursed you..."

Lin Chen understood. He had previously attended the Elixir Trading Festival at Mount Wan Jue in East Emperor State where an assassin attacked him en route. Afterwards, he gained a mark. Xuanji Fairy said it was a curse, which she was unable to remove because it was the price of a life.

After such a long time, the mark was no longer visible. Lin Chen thought it had lost effect and didn’t mind it anymore. He never expected a sudden attack at this moment.

No doubt, Fox Wolf’s attack was extremely dangerous. If his response was slightly slower, he would be killed instantly. Even if he reacted fast, who could withstand the continuous onslaught of such an elite strength?

If it weren’t for the presence of an immortal and his own steel-like bones, he would likely have been doomed today dealing face-to-face with the assassination.

Lin Chen fixed his gaze on his face: "You didn’t change your face, how did you become Yuan Ji?"

"Wu Xiang Demon Skill."

Fox Wolf, perhaps knowing today was his doomed day, answered crisply and swiftly, "The skill is in my spatial ring. If you’re interested and have the right talent, you can learn it."

Lin Chen took off the spatial ring from Fox Wolf’s hand and scanned it with his divine sense, where he found the Wu Xiang Demon Skill he mentioned.

Lin Chen carefully read it over and confirmed its authenticity.

"Now there’s left the last question, who hired you to kill me?"

An odd expression appeared on Fox Wolf’s face, "Do you really want to know?"

Lin Chen replied with a cold smirk, "If you were me, wouldn’t you?"

Fox Wolf chuckled, "The employer was very generous, hired the highest-ranking killer, and even paid double. He was also very cautious, but unluckily he met curious me. I wanted to know who dared hire an assassin to kill the Human Emperor..."

Lin Chen frowned, "You investigated, what was the result?"

Fox Wolf stared into Lin Chen’s eyes, his laughter exaggerated, "Obviously, he didn’t trust anyone, sent someone disguised as himself to place the order. However, I disguised myself and followed him. Guess who I saw?"

Kunlun?

Lin Chen arched his brows slightly, "Zhao Feiyu?"

When Fox Wolf mentioned Kunlun, Lin Chen had already calculated the time that the first assassin came to kill him. Wasn’t that when he encountered when returning to South Mountain from the Sea of Oblivion?

Before going to the Sea of Oblivion, Lin Chen had first visited Ghost Tower, where he had competed with Zhao Feiyu and had a big fight. He used the Red Blood Mist to pit Zhao Feiyu, which led to his Eight-Armed Arhat becoming the Armless Arhat.

The timeline matched.

If anyone from Kunlun hated him to the point of hiring an assassin to kill him, it would only be Zhao Feiyu.

As the Son of Kunlun, Zhao Feiyu’s identity was highly sensitive. If he killed Lin Chen, there would definitely be an uproar. Without mentioning anything else, the infamy alone would be enough to pull Kunlun down.

Zhao Feiyu wanted to kill Lin Chen, but he couldn’t do it directly and probably couldn’t succeed either. Therefore, hiring a top-ranked assassin was a good option.

However, Zhao Feiyu never expected that he would run into Fox Wolf, who knew the Wu Xiang Demon Skill. With Fox Wolf investigating him, his identity got exposed.

Fox Wolf looked somewhat surprised, "It seems you know very well who wants you dead."

Lin Chen asked, "How do you prove what you said is true?"

Fox Wolf shrugged, "What proof can there be? It was a complete accident that I was able to track and discover his identity."

On second thought, Lin Chen took out the Image Recording Stone, "Say again what you just said."

"Are you recording the evidence?"

Fox Wolf cooperatively repeated everything and even reminded Lin Chen to take out the Bloodshadow Organization Token from the spatial ring that could prove his identity.

"I’m curious why you’re so cooperative. Regardless of what you say, you’re certain to die today."

Fox Wolf laughed heartily, "As an assassin, it’s normal to die if the assassination fails. Death is the ultimate fate of every assassin. When I chose this path and started killing, I knew this day would come."

"Anyway, I’m dying, so why would I keep these secrets? Moreover, I’m originally a demon. Killing you, not only completes the employer’s request but also contributes to the demon race. It’s killing two birds with one stone!"

"Now, since my assassination has failed, I have nothing to do with the rest. Why should I hide anything? Besides, exposing this matter, I presume you wouldn’t let the Son of Kunlun go. Thinking about that, don’t I gain something in the end?"
