Chapter 738: Chapter 758: You’ve Never Heard of Blood Shadow?_1

"How did you know my identity?"

Qiu Shisan said with a resentful expression: "When we crossed paths, I did something to you, and then used a small magical artifact to sense your whereabouts."

Lin Chen stared at Qiu Shisan: "I’m just a Golden Core cultivator, and you’re at the Nascent Soul Stage. Since you’ve found me, why not just take action and kill me? Wouldn’t everything I have become yours then?"

Qiu Shisan said coldly: "Although I am an assassin, all the people I kill have a valid reason for death. We have no grudges, and you haven’t done anything evil. I can’t just kill someone for a Beast Taming Bag. I gave you the Soul Devouring Bow before because I knew you were strong, and as long as you could help me kill another Nascent Soul cultivator, there would be hope of escape today."

"Moreover, didn’t the team leader say that no one should be spared? Do you believe that after they kill me, they would leave anyone on this ship alive? If so, what’s wrong with dragging you down with me? The situation cannot get worse, right?"

Lin Chen blinked: "You are an assassin?"

Qiu Shisan nodded: "I belong to the renowned assassin organization Blood Shadow in the Barren Wilderness. I am a member of the Autumn Group in Xixi State, ranked thirteenth, so my name is Qiu Shisan. The one leading the pursuers is also a member of the Autumn Group, ranked Old Seven."

Lin Chen shook his head: "Never heard of them."

Qiu Shisan looked shocked: "You’ve never heard of Blood Shadow?"

Lin Chen nodded: "You can think of me as a beginner who just stepped out into the world. I’m just curious, as an assassin who does things for money, do you always have such principles? Not killing innocents, what will you do when missions come? Don’t you kill?"

"I can reject them."

Qiu Shisan said solemnly: "My father was the previous boss of the Blood Shadow sub-division in Xixi State. Naturally, I have the right to choose my missions. But this year, he was killed by someone, and the new boss, Fox Wolf, wanted to kill me to eradicate any threat. So I stole the Soul Devouring Bow from the division’s treasury and fled. They’ve been hunting me ever since."

"Following in your father’s footsteps, huh."

Lin Chen sighed: "You stole the Soul Devouring Bow, wanting to kill Fox Wolf to avenge your father?"

Qiu Shisan shook his head: "Fox Wolf has the power of a Transforming God, even with the Soul Devouring Bow, with my strength, I cannot kill him. I stole the Soul Devouring Bow and bought the Beast Taming Bag because I heard some news and wanted to try my luck in a certain place."

Lin Chen asked curiously: "What news?"

Qiu Shisan shook his head and did not speak.

Seeing that Qiu Shisan was not speaking, Lin Chen did not force him and said generously: "I don’t care about your identity or your purpose. In any case, I saved your life, the Soul Devouring Bow is mine, you can go."

Qiu Shisan clenched his teeth: "What do I have to do for you to lend me the Soul Devouring Bow? I can swear a Soul Demon Oath, I will definitely return it to you."

Lin Chen shook his head and refused decisively: "Don’t even think about it, I won’t lend it to you."

Qiu Shisan was silent for a moment: "You just killed Blood Shadow members and let some of them escape. Moreover, the Soul Devouring Bow is now in your hands, Blood Shadow will not let it go. They will continue to send people to hunt you down."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I’m just a beginner, unknown to the world. How could they find me?"

Qiu Shisan said seriously: "You had previously stayed and lingered in Raging Lion City. They will definitely be able to find out your identity. Blood Shadow is well-known throughout the Barren Wilderness, and their information gathering ability is incredibly strong."

Lin Chen frowned: "Are you saying I’m in big trouble?"

Qiu Shisan confirmed: "Huge trouble!"

Lin Chen snorted: "Even if it’s trouble, it’s my trouble, and it has nothing to do with you. In short, don’t count on me giving you the Soul Devouring Bow."

Qiu Shisan thought for a moment: "Can you tell me your identity?"

Lin Chen sneered: "Tell you my identity so that you can find more trouble for me?"

Qiu Shisan was silent for two seconds: "If you can help me kill Fox Wolf and avenge my father, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you and follow your orders from now on."

Lin Chen was stunned: "What’s your cultivation level?"

"Mid-Nascent Soul Stage."

Lin Chen laughed: "Are you muddled? Fox Wolf is at the Transforming God Stage, and I’m just a Golden Core Realm cultivator. You’re asking me to kill Fox Wolf?"

Qiu Shisan said calmly: "With your Golden Core Stage strength, you have three Demonic Beasts comparable to Nascent Soul Cultivators, which shows your extraordinary ability. Moreover, your background must be complicated. Perhaps you have powerful Sect Elders, who would be willing to help. With the Soul Devouring Bow, it isn’t difficult to kill Fox Wolf."

"You have killed their people, and now you and they are mortal enemies. If you don’t kill them, they will cling to you like a shadow, always trying to harm you. You may successfully defend against them countless times, but if you fail just once, you die."

Lin Chen furrowed his brows.

Lin Chen had made a strong impression by coming to Raging Lion City with the Snow Dragon Leopard King because he hadn’t had the Beast Taming Bag at the time. If Blood Shadow really investigated, they might indeed be able to find his identity backward.

It seemed that he really was in trouble.
