Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Code Name, Black Rose, Collecting the Art of Assassination
After arriving at Luosha City, the tens of thousands of women underwent brainwashing by Gong Qingqiu.
They learned about the development history of Misty Sect.
They also knew about Ye Feng’s heroic deeds, how he turned the tide and defeated powerful enemies time and again, saving countless lives from devastation.
For this god-like man, all members of Heiluo Sha deeply worshipped him from the bottom of their hearts.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
All Heiluocha Members quickly gathered, standing on the green brick path beside the lake, and bowed respectfully to Ye Feng.
Looking at these young women in uniform black clothes embroidered with red Other Shore Flowers, Ye Feng sighed inwardly.
They should’ve been living happily.
Unfortunately, they fell into the clutches of Blood Demon Hall, suffering misery and destruction.
Meeting the fervent gazes of Heiluocha Members, Ye Feng knew he must be one of the reasons they strove to live on.
He was their savior.
Their guide, and their role model.
Since he was a role model, he naturally had to do what was expected of him.
With this in mind, Ye Feng spoke aloud:
“You have chosen to stay and become members of the Heiluocha organization, and this Sect Leader is gratified.”
“From today on, Elder Gong Qingqiu will be the Deputy City Lord of Luosha City, commanding the entire city.”
“As for this Sect Leader, I will temporarily take the position of City Lord.”
“I hope that you will all cultivate diligently, for only by strengthening yourselves can you live a better life.”
Ye Feng looked around and, seeing that the Heiluocha Members did not have proper Spiritual Artifacts, continued:
“You belong to the Heiluocha organization, wearing the uniform embroidered with red Other Shore Flowers. From now on, your code name will be ‘Black Rose’.”
“Each and every one of you is a Black Rose!”
“However, a rose without thorns is merely beautiful, lacking lethality.”
“This Sect Leader has decided to personally refine a special type of Spiritual Artifact for you, one that is good for backstabbing, combined attacks, and pursuing enemies.”
As his words fell, all the women looked up, a flash of surprise appearing in their eyes.
“Sect Leader, with over ten thousand Heiluocha Members, do we have enough Refining Materials?” Gong Qingqiu voiced her concern.
Ye Feng took out a Refining Furnace and said, “Don’t worry, I will refine a set on the spot first; when we have enough materials later, everyone will have one.”
The Heiluocha Members looked up, watching Ye Feng floating above the lake beside the Refining Furnace, finding it novel.
Ye Feng reached out and touched the Refining Furnace.
“I need to refine a type of Spiritual Artifact specially for assassination, similar to an embroidery needle. It doesn’t use much material, can expand into a thin sword, and can be combined with others to form a more powerful Spiritual Artifact.”
“Moreover, it can be upgraded.”
Ye Feng communicated his needs to the Refining Furnace.
A short while later, the Refining Furnace provided a list of materials.
Ye Feng’s consciousness entered the System Space, searched frantically, and took out a segment of the Bone Demon Empress’s finger bone, added many high-grade materials, and threw everything into the Refining Furnace in one go.
All Heiluocha Members were watching.
They were curious.
What kind of Spiritual Artifact was Ye Feng going to refine?
Half an hour later.
The lid of the furnace shot into the sky.
One hundred and eight rays of gold and white flew out from the furnace, hovering in mid-air. As Ye Feng put away the Refining Furnace, they finally revealed their true form.
It was a type of Spiritual Artifact resembling an embroidery needle.
About three inches long, half a finger wide, thin as cicada wings, semi-transparent, streamlined, with an elusive presence, hard to detect.
Overall, it looked like an embroidery needle at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a hiltless Flying Sword.
“Enlarge!”
Ye Feng suddenly shouted.
Instantly, the one hundred and eight tiny Flying Swords swelled, each turning into a sword about one foot in length, resembling real Flying Swords.
They circled in the air, exuding a cutting-edge, sharp aura.
“Combine!”
Ye Feng shouted again.
The one hundred and eight Flying Swords immediately merged into a giant sword about ten feet long.
The sharpness was not inferior to that of a peak Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact!
Yet individually, they were merely Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
“These one hundred and eight Embroidered Flying Swords are bestowed upon you.”
Ye Feng waved his hand, and all the Embroidered Flying Swords fell in front of a Heiluocha Member respectively.
These one hundred and eight individuals had a Cultivation Level of at least the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm, with clear minds and resolute eyes.
They would become the core force of Heiluocha’s future.
“Thank you, City Lord, for the swords!”
Whether or not they obtained the Embroidered Flying Sword, all members of the Heiluocha expressed their thanks in unison.
They did not belong to the Misty Sect, but were independent of Luosha City, where Ye Feng was the City Lord, and Gong Qingqiu was the Deputy City Lord.
Therefore, they uniformly addressed Ye Feng as City Lord, instead of Sect Leader.
For this young, handsome, and strong City Lord, every member of the Heiluocha showed great respect.
Especially the 108 women who had received the Embroidered Flying Sword, their gazes toward Ye Feng became increasingly fervent.
“How many types of assassination spells have you learned?”
Ye Feng asked one of the women.
“Reporting to the City Lord, we have learned assassination spells like “Backstab” and the combined attack secret technique “Shared Hatred”.”
The woman answered.
Ye Feng shook his head, “That’s too few!”
Gong Qingqiu lowered her head.
She taught them these.
She admitted, the number indeed was too few.
A true assassination organization must learn more than ten assassination secret techniques, as well as various combined attack secret techniques.
If the spells are too monotonous, it is very easy to find their flaws.
Only with an endless variety can one confuse the enemy.
“In that case, Elder Gong, go purchase some more assassination secret techniques…never mind, I, as the Sect Leader, will personally make a move and take a trip to County King City. There should be something I need in a certain place.”
The corners of Ye Feng’s mouth suddenly rose.
Whoosh!
He instantly moved to the summit of Misty Peak.
The next moment, he turned into a streak of white light, transmitting above County King City.
With a glance, he located the Assassin’s Hall.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he stood in the center of the Assassin’s Hall.
The surrounding assassins noticed him, paused for a moment, and upon recognizing Ye Feng’s face, everyone gasped in shock.
“It’s Sect Master Ye!”
Someone whispered in a low voice.
As he spoke, he almost bit his tongue.
Hearing of Ye Feng’s arrival, the Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall was so frightened that he practically wet himself and hurriedly came over, bowing his hands and saying:
“Sect Master Ye, your…your presence truly graces this humble place. May I know…whom you wish to kill?”
Originally, the incident where Mad Blade, ranked tenth on the assassin leaderboard, was hired to assassinate Gong Qingqiu, had become a nightmare for the Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall, constantly worrying that Ye Feng would come to settle scores.
Now, seeing Ye Feng, he felt his heart turn cold.
Could it be that Ye Feng was here for a post-autumn reckoning?
“It’s not about killing anyone.”
Ye Feng waved his hand, “You are all assassins, so you should have specialized spells for assassination, right? No matter the cost in Spirit Stones, I’ll buy them.”
“Sect Master Ye wants to purchase assassination spells?” The assassins present were dumbfounded.
He was already so powerful, what did he need assassination spells for?
Surely, he couldn’t be planning to assassinate someone in the Void Break Realm, could he?
“Don’t you have any?” Ye Feng looked at the stunned assassins and asked.
The Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall shuddered and immediately replied: “Rest assured, Sect Master Ye, we have many assassination spells here, at least over a hundred varieties, but I’m not sure if they will meet your standards.”
“I’ll buy them all.” Ye Feng was extravagantly bold.
Even if the grade of the spells wasn’t high, he could understand them all through spending money, and then, by using Wind Element Spirit Energy, he could deduce and create higher-level spells.
“Alright then!”
The Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall, fearing Ye Feng would make a move, hurriedly signaled the assassins to place various ancient books on the table.
“Oh, and there is also an auxiliary cultivation method.”
In the end, the Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall reluctantly took out an ancient book, looking pained, somewhat reluctant to part with it.
“How many Spirit Stones?” Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
“I’ll give all of them to Sect Master Ye for free.” The Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall slapped his thigh, deciding to waive all charges.
“I owe you a favor.” Ye Feng smiled.
Not using Spirit Stones, of course, was preferable.
Of course, he was not freeloading.
In the future, should the Assassin’s Hall encounter any troubles, he could lend a hand once, and that would settle the debt.
“Is Sect Master Ye serious?” The eyes of the Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall brightened, and he clenched his fists tightly.
A favor from Ye Feng was indeed very valuable!
