Chapter 559 Hunter and Prey
"Lord Leng, something bad has happened! We're in trouble this time!" Old Wang said hurriedly.
Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat, because it was rare to see even Old Wang so flustered.
"What happened?" Leng Yun asked.
"The three major families have issued a kill order, and now all the assassin organizations in the entire Angu Kingdom have accepted the mission to kill you," Old Wang said.
"Kill me?" Leng Yun asked curiously.
Old Wang nodded: "Yes, they must already know about your and the three young masters' deaths, so they spared no effort to come and kill you."
"Moreover, this time the three families have really gone all out. The three family heads have put out almost all their wealth, a total of 50 billion worth of treasure, as a bounty."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yun was speechless, then gave a wry smile: "I never imagined that I, Leng Yun, would be so valuable."
"Although Lord Leng Zun's reputation now resounds throughout the entire Angu Kingdom, a great reward always attracts brave men, so quite a few assassin organizations have sent their strongest assassins to try and kill you," said Elder Wang.
Leng Yun nodded, lost in thought. He wasn't particularly concerned about the assassins, but the amount of the bounty certainly tempted him.
If the treasure worth 50 billion were converted into experience points, it would probably allow Leng Yun to advance to the next level.
"Moreover, I've also heard that even the Thousand Killers Sect, the largest assassin gang in Anyang Kingdom, has come!" Old Wang said.
Angu Kingdom and Anyang Kingdom are adjacent to each other, like twin stars, arranged side by side on the sea.
The most famous place in Angu Kingdom is Medicine City, while the most famous place in Anyang Kingdom is the assassin organization Thousand Killers.
The bounty this time was so tempting that even an organization like the Thousand Killers Sect was alarmed.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yun suddenly had an idea. He asked, "Who are the people from the Thousand Killings Sect?"
"It is said that the Thousand Kill Sect has produced the number one assassin, Wan Zongmie, second only to the sect leader, Li Qianjue," said Old Wang.
After staying in Angu for some time, Leng Yun gained some understanding of the affairs of these two twin kingdoms.
Wan Zongmie was a figure feared by both countries.
Some say he is a devil from hell, and no one has ever escaped his assassination attempts.
It is said that the former emperor of Anyang Kingdom was killed by Wan Zongmie, and the one who hired Wan Zongmie was the current emperor of Anyang Kingdom, Cheng Dajiang.
"It seems this Wan Zongmie is quite a character." Leng Yun was wondering about Wan Zongmie's level and how many experience points he could gain by killing him.
Old Wang continued, "Yes, but Wan Zongmie has also failed before, and was beaten so badly that he never dared to set foot in that person's territory again."
Leng Yun asked curiously, "Oh? Who is it?"
“An Chengfeng, one of the Five Emperors of the Seven Heavens Continent, known as the Wind Emperor!” Old Wang said, a look of envy on his face.
After hearing this, Leng Yun felt a pang of envy. That was a master who had entered the Star Martial Realm for many years, far stronger than Wu Shan Gui, a true figure standing at the top of the Seven Heavens Continent.
……
Within three days, a number of strangers suddenly appeared in the entire medicine city.
At first glance, these people are no different from ordinary people; each one looks quite ordinary.
However, they are the best among the most feared assassin organizations.
These people have carried out countless missions, but this time their target is somewhat special: Leng Zun, a master renowned throughout the Angu Kingdom.
It's estimated that only someone like Leng Zun deserves such a high bounty, attracting all the elite assassins to gather here.
This time, all the assassins gathered in the small Medicine City, which was tantamount to holding a gathering of the assassin world. For a time, the underworld of the entire Medicine City was bustling with activity.
The assassins have their own agreement with each other. They are scattered throughout the Medicine City and will not interfere with each other's work.
Whoever can kill Leng Yun will receive the bounty.
If the two people kill Leng Yun at the same time, the bounty will be split between them.
Therefore, who will receive this bounty is still an unknown.
However, this target is indeed not to be underestimated. These assassins are closely monitoring Leng Yun's movements, partly because they are afraid that someone else will get there first, and partly because they dare not make a move rashly.
Among the many assassins, everyone was watching for the appearance of one person, the legendary assassin Wan Zongmie.
As an assassin, no one is unaware of Wan Zongmie's reputation. He is like an idol. Although he has rarely carried out missions in recent years, he has become a benchmark in the industry.
In fact, even these assassins didn't know that Wan Zongmie had already arrived in Medicine City. He had concealed his tracks very well, which shows how terrifying his strength was.
The underworld of Medicine City is in turmoil, but ordinary people continue to live their ordinary lives, as if everything that is happening has nothing to do with them.
At this moment, Leng Yun seemed to have nothing to do with all of this, walking leisurely down the street.
When Leng Yun went out alone, Wang Lao and the others were quite worried, and even Long Nu wanted to accompany Leng Yun.
However, Leng Yun refused them all; he deliberately appeared in front of the many assassins this time.
In fact, Leng Yun was well aware that the assassins would carefully observe him today, but none of them would make a move rashly.
So for Leng Yun, it was just a close call without any real danger.
Unbeknownst to these assassins, while they were observing Leng Yun, they were also completely exposing themselves to him.
As an alchemist, Leng Yun's powerful mental strength allows him to perceive everything around him.
He traveled from the East Medicine City to the West Medicine City, accompanied by a total of 23 assassins.
Leng Yun incorporated the white fire poison into his spiritual power, marking each of the 23 assassins.
The white fire poison that enters the spiritual realm is extremely weak, and outsiders cannot perceive any pain at all. However, Leng Yun can use the white fire poison to find these people.
Once the 23 assassins were marked, they would never escape Leng Yun's grasp.
But Leng Yun didn't stop, because he knew that the big fish hadn't appeared yet.
There was still no trace of Wan Kuai's disappearance in the surrounding area.
After walking a few hundred meters more, Leng Yun suddenly smiled: "Finally, the traces have been revealed!"
It was Wan Zongmie. It turned out that he had been following Leng Yun from the very beginning, but he was very well hidden, and Leng Yun could not find him at all.
However, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Wan Zongmie eventually revealed a trace of his presence and was firmly caught by Leng Yun.
Immediately, a burst of spiritual power marked the Myriad Traces Annihilation Mark...
