The black-clothed man was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Under Ye Qing's pressure, he did not choose to compromise. Instead, he bent his neck and committed suicide!
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. He tore off the black cloth that covered the black-clothed man's face. It was a completely unfamiliar face.
Next, Ye Qing pinched open the black-clothed man's mouth. There was a purple venom flowing out of his mouth. It was obviously highly toxic!
Just now, he had consumed the venom and committed suicide.
"He would rather commit suicide than reveal his identity. Interesting!"
Ye Qing's eyes flashed with a trace of danger. He really wanted to know who was the mastermind behind the black-clothed man!
"Young Master Sun, this old man roughly knows the origin of this black-clothed man."
Just when Ye Qing was feeling puzzled, a white-haired old man walked over. He had just eaten Ye Qing's Malatang and had broken through to the second level of the Out of Aperture Realm.
In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Ye Qing. Therefore, he took the initiative to explain to Ye Qing.
"If this old man's guess is correct, this black-clothed man should be an assassin from the Dark Mantle!"
The white-haired old man spoke slowly. When he mentioned the Dark Mantle, his eyes revealed a trace of fear.
The powerful Dark Mantle organization was a taboo existence in the Azure Cloud Empire. Unless one was an Out of Aperture Realm expert, it was impossible to come into contact with the assassins of the Dark Mantle.
"Assassin of the Dark Mantle?
Old man, how can you be sure that he is an assassin of the Dark Mantle? "
Ye Qing's eyes turned cold. When he was in the Dragon Clan, he had become a true disciple of the Sacred Palace and knew some secrets. He had heard rumors about the Dark Mantle!
According to the rumors, the Dark Mantle was a huge assassin organization. The Dark Mantle in the Azure Cloud Empire was just a small stronghold.
In every empire, the Dark Mantle organization existed. It was a true colossus that could not be shaken.
"Young Master Sun, with your strength, the only assassin organization in the entire Azure Cloud Empire that would dare to attack you is the Dark Mantle!"
The white-haired old man said slowly, "Moreover, I've heard that once an assassin of the Dark Mantle fails and is captured, they will choose to commit suicide. They will never reveal any information related to the organization."
The old man's face was grave as he spoke. In his heart, the Dark Mantle was an unimaginably large organization!
The only reason he could tell Ye Qing all this was because he was grateful for Ye Qing's kindness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said a single word.
"Dark Mantle? Interesting. I've heard that the assassins of the Dark Mantle are divided into Heavenly Kills and Earthly Terminates. I wonder what level he is?"
Ye Qing smiled faintly. There were no obvious markings on the assassin's body, so he couldn't tell his rank.
However, if the Dark Mantle dared to send assassins after him, then they must be at least nine stars.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be a Nine-Star Absolute Killer. His cultivation is at the peak of the fifth stage of Out-of-Body Realm."
The old man explained. He had lived in the Azure Cloud Empire for more than a thousand years. Although his strength wasn't that great, he was still quite knowledgeable.
The assassins of the Dark Mantle were basically ranked according to their strength.
In the Azure Cloud Empire, a Nine-Star Absolute Killer was already very terrifying.
Martial cultivation was divided into postnatal, connate, yuan meridian, divine canopy, origin core, divine palace, out of body, fate wheel, indestructible, and so on.
Those who could cultivate to the fifth stage of Out-of-Body Realm could definitely be called experts.
However, in the enormous Dark Mantle organization, the Absolute Killer was still at the bottom. Even a Nine-Star Absolute Killer was still at the bottom.
The Sky Assassin was a legendary existence, like a mythical character.
The Kill Assassin was the backbone of the Dark Mantle organization. Every one of them was a top-notch expert, and their methods were all-encompassing.
The Earth Assassin was a relatively common existence in the Dark Mantle organization, and didn't have a high status.
However, in a place like the Azure Cloud Empire, the Earth Assassin was already terrifying enough.
"Young Master Sun, you must be careful in the future. It's rumored that when the Dark Mantle receives an assassination mission, there will be an endless stream of assassins coming after them until they succeed!"
"Unless the higher-ups of the Dark Mantle Main Hall give the order to stop the assassination mission."
The white-haired old man continued to narrate, his eyes faintly revealing traces of shock.
It could be said that he had a better understanding of the Dark Mantle organization.
"Oh?
Since that's the case, the Dark Mantle organization can continue to send assassins over. "
Ye Qing smiled slightly, without any fear. The so-called assassins of the Dark Mantle organization were just here to give him experience.
"Alright, everyone, farewell for now!"
Ye Qing waved his hand, stepped on the void, and quickly left.
He left a doppelganger in the Dragon Clan. It was the doppelganger condensed from the Seventh Tier Green Lotus.
In the process of Ye Qing's journey to the Wanyao Mountain, the doppelganger had been staying in the Dragon Clan, waiting for Huangfu Lan to come out of seclusion.
Now, he had been in the Wanyao Mountain for some time. Presumably, Huangfu Lan would be coming out soon.
Ye Qing's doppelganger in the Dragon Clan could communicate with his original body at any time, and didn't have to worry about the restriction of distance.
They were born from the same origin, and there was no distinction between them. Therefore, Ye Qing's original body in the Wanyao Mountain was still aware of the situation in the Dragon Clan.
During this period of time, a major event had happened in the Dragon Clan, and that was the old ancestor of the Dragon Clan coming out of seclusion!
The nine great guardians of the Dragon Clan personally welcomed the old ancestor out of seclusion. It was a grand occasion.
Ye Qing's Seventh Tier Green Lotus doppelganger was in the Dragon Clan, and witnessed the grand occasion that day.
The old ancestor of the Dragon Clan had been in seclusion for many years, and had worked hard to break through to the next realm. He had finally reached the peak of the Fifth Stage of Out of Body Realm, and was not far from the Sixth Stage of Out of Body Realm.
Of course, Ye Qing wasn't interested in the old ancestor of the Dragon Clan. What he cared about was when Huangfu Lan would come out of seclusion.
… …
In the Azure Cloud Empire, in the Dragon Clan, Ye Qing's doppelganger lived in the Sacred Palace. He cultivated every day, and at the same time, inquired about the latest happenings in the Dragon Clan, and reported to his original body at any time.
In terms of cultivation, Ye Qing's doppelganger didn't have too many cultivation resources on him. Therefore, the speed of his cultivation was not as fast as his original body.
These days, the doppelganger in the Dragon Clan basically spent more time sleeping.
"Roar!"
Ye Qing's doppelganger was resting in the room when he suddenly heard a terrifying dragon roar. Immediately, his mind jolted, and he opened the door and walked out.
Looking into the distance, Ye Qing's heart stirred. He saw that the towering Sacred Dragon Pagoda in the distance was blooming with light, dazzling and resplendent!
Presumably, something major had happened in the Sacred Dragon Pagoda.
"Boom!"
Near the Sacred Dragon Pagoda, another shocking roar came.
Ye Qing's eyes focused, realizing that something was wrong. Perhaps, the Huangfu Lan he had been waiting for was about to come out of seclusion!
With a move, Ye Qing stepped into the air and headed for the Sacred Dragon Pagoda in the distance.
During this period, Huangfu Lan had been wandering in the Sacred Dragon Pagoda, and in that dragon roar just now, Ye Qing vaguely sensed a trace of Huangfu Lan's bloodline power!
