Chapter 2839: Chapter 2840: Secrets of the Assassin Alliance

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo’s heart stirred; she had naturally gathered information on the Assassin Alliance.

At the same time, Ye Luo was astonished by Mingxi Pavilion’s energy; in just one day, they managed to uncover such news, something no ordinary power could achieve.

"Come with me!"

Ye Luo turned and headed into the side hall. In reality, since moving in, she had never entered this hall, only a few maidservants had cleaned it. Upon entering, Ye Luo frowned; there was a peculiar energy—although it was faint, Ye Luo’s keen senses detected it.

This seemed... like it might be the power of the Buddhist Sect!

But then again, she wasn’t sure, as the energy was too weak. Ye Luo was already lucky enough to sense it, let alone identify its attribute.

"Royal Teacher, this is the result of our investigation!"

Having said that, Mingxi deposited a cluster of Divine Sense onto Ye Luo’s palm.

Originally, she could have directly transmitted this Divine Sense into Ye Luo’s mind, but that would have been disrespectful, showing she was indeed tactful, living up to her status as the Pavilion Master of Mingxi Pavilion.

Ye Luo nodded slightly and absorbed this Divine Sense.

In reality, even if she harbored ill intent, no harm would come to Ye Luo from such a small cluster of Divine Sense, as Ye Luo’s current Divine Sense was incredibly powerful. Besides, the Fire Origin had a tremendous damaging effect on Divine Sense; anyone who dared to duel with Ye Luo in Divine Sense was basically courting death.

Soon, Ye Luo became somewhat astonished.

As expected, this Assassin Alliance was special; while they seemed to survive in a niche between the Demon Realm and a third power, it was actually not the case.

Both the Demon Race and the third power were wary of this Assassin Alliance, and dared not provoke them!

On the contrary, many nobles actively collaborated with the Assassin Alliance, and this Alliance was incredibly arrogant. Rumors stated that they only accepted bounties above the Martial King and no one could say how long the Alliance had existed; it was said they existed even when the third power and the Royal Family were under Demon Emperor’s rule.

Not to mention others, even in recent years, at least five strong Martial Emperor Realm individuals met their ends at the hands of the Assassin Alliance. As for Martial King Realm individuals, their numbers were simply beyond counting.

It could be said that this Assassin Alliance was a malignant tumor in the Demon Realm.

"To be able to eliminate Martial Emperor experts, the capability of the Assassin Alliance must be terrifying!" Ye Luo said slowly.

"I’m afraid not just that; there’s a rumor, of course, it hasn’t been verified, and there is no concrete evidence, so I didn’t include it in the Divine Sense, but they say the disappearance of the third power’s Royal Family and the Demon Emperor’s lineage might be linked to the Assassin Alliance!" Mingxi continued.

This point did not surprise Ye Luo. Although dealing with the Demon Emperor or Royal Family was extremely dangerous, the potential gains must be enormous. So what was this Assassin Alliance? Ultimately, they were a pack of mad dogs willing to take on anyone, including the most ruthless from other powers; such a faction could indeed resort to anything.

If they intended to assassinate Ye Luo, it truly caused her some concern.

Mingxi naturally understood why Ye Luo was investigating the Assassin Alliance; she feared trouble was attracted, hence she gazed at Ye Luo anxiously.

"Royal Teacher, there is something I wonder if I should speak about or not!" Mingxi suddenly said.

Ye Luo glanced at her, "When it’s only the two of us, you needn’t be reserved."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi’s face flushed slightly, and she slowly nodded.

"The Assassin Alliance has a rule: once they’ve taken on a task, if it isn’t completed, there will be unending assassinations! Moreover, the task’s original proprietor can continue to renew it—it’s just that the price doubles. It can be said, if you provoke them, you’re poking a hornet’s nest facing an unending conclusion!" Mingxi said worriedly.

"Oh? Is King of Huainan’s frequent encounters with assassins related to the Assassin Alliance?"

Mingxi nodded slightly, "That’s mostly the case; only the Assassin Alliance could undertake such insane actions. Based on previous situations, if Royal Teacher provoked them, there are only two paths to go down! The first is to recruit experts to protect oneself and be cautious, like the Prince, having multiple incarnations and substitutes to avoid harassment. Another option is hiding away, but these Assassin Alliance killers are no simpletons; hiding in the Demon Realm won’t take long for them to find you! So if you wish to completely escape them, you must venture to other realms."

Ye Luo narrowed her eyes; venturing to other realms was inevitable, but it wasn’t the right time yet! Moreover, the Transmission Array leading to other realms was rumored to be with the Royal Family and Demon Emperor; to leave the Demon Realm, she must first find these two powers’ whereabouts.

"Has anyone considered uprooting the Assassin Alliance?" Ye Luo suddenly asked.

Mingxi paused for quite a while, then slowly shook her head, "I don’t know if anyone’s thought of it, but no one’s ever done it. Even the Prince hasn’t challenged the Assassin Alliance! Royal Teacher, you mustn’t be rash; if they’re just executing a mission right now, they definitely won’t deploy their strongest force. But if you provoke them, the pressure you’ll face is beyond what you are experiencing now!"

Ye Luo suddenly laughed, "Of course! I’m merely curious!"

Yet, Mingxi was a clever woman, aware that Ye Luo wouldn’t ask such questions without reason.

"Royal Teacher, though my Mingxi Pavilion has some experts, they’re not enough to fend off the Assassin Alliance but could serve as early warning. Shall I dispatch them to guard your estate to spare you trouble?"

She was clearly showing goodwill, but being surrounded by those powerful individuals, especially ones not under her own control, made Ye Luo feel somewhat awkward.

"That’s unnecessary; Princess Qin Se and Nameless Young Lord are both moving into the Royal Teacher’s residence. I believe it will be safe for a while!" Ye Luo chuckled.

Mingxi revealed an expression of sudden realization, "Then I was overthinking it; with the Princess and Your Highness moving in, the defense here is something Mingxi Pavilion cannot rival."

Afterward, Mingxi tactfully left.

When Ye Luo was leaving, Nameless was sitting atop a meditation cushion, not cultivating, lost in thought, while Qiong Yao and Princess Qin Se were nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t hard to guess that Qin Se must be arranging her belongings, and given that girl’s temperament, it wouldn’t be long before she moved in.

"Kid, why have you become lax in cultivation upon reaching here? Back in the Demon God’s Hall, you weren’t like this!" Ye Luo frowned, "Were you dazzled by glory and riches?"
