Chapter 71: Lone Wolf of the Waning Moon

The group that left the Jiangyan Hotpot Restaurant split into two cars and drove along the riverside road for about half an hour before arriving at the Qinguo Qincheng located on the Yangtze River shore in Yuzhong District.

"Hey, Qingyun, are you sure you didn't take the wrong route? This is the Qinguo Qincheng you were talking about?" Looking at the building in front of him, which more resembled an ancient cultural relic, Ye Huang had a big question mark in his mind.

"Of course! What's wrong with it? This is called understated beauty, do you understand?" Seeing the doubt in Ye Huang's eyes, Chu Qingyun raised her head high and said.

"Understated... beauty!" Ye Huang was shocked. He looked up again at the KTV built to resemble an ancient city wall. No matter how he looked at it, it just seemed like an enlarged version of a garbage transfer station.

In the past, when he was in Xi'an, Ye Huang had seen some garbage transfer stations in the inner city with walls that looked exactly the same.

"Hey, Qingyun, I can see the understated part, but where's the beauty?" Ye Huang felt a huge gap between his expectations and the reality of Qinguo Qincheng. He thought such a famous place would at least be decently decorated, but the contrast was really huge!

"Hmph! It's just that your eyesight is poor. Don't blame the place for being poorly built. If you don't want to come, don't!" Seeing Ye Huang criticize her favorite Qinguo Qincheng, Chu Qingyun was immediately unhappy. She pouted and coldly hummed, then pulled Xiao Lin inside. The other women also entered one by one.

"Well, I can't even express my opinion, can I?" Ye Huang helplessly shrugged his shoulders, then shook his head and followed Chu Tiange, who also had a bitter smile, inside.

Just as Ye Huang and Chu Tiange were about to enter the gate, a Buick LaCrosse parked on the road in front of Qinguo Qincheng. The car window rolled down, and a pair of sharp eyes glanced at Ye Huang's back before the car drove into the adjacent parking lot.

In front of Qinguo Qincheng, Ye Huang's body suddenly stopped, then he quickly turned his head to look at where the LaCrosse had parked. Not finding anything unusual, he was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong, brother?" Chu Tiange, puzzled, asked Ye Huang.

"Just now, someone was staring at us, but they disappeared." Ye Huang clearly felt a chill on his back, a wave of killing intent, but when he turned around, the person was gone. This made Ye Huang somewhat surprised; the person's strength was clearly not bad.

"Someone was staring at us?" Hearing Ye Huang's words, Chu Tiange immediately became tense, scanning the entire square but finding no unusual movements.

"Brother, did you see wrong?"

"Maybe. Let's go, don't let them wait." Ye Huang nodded, but he was now much more cautious. At his level, his sixth sense was already sharp to a terrifying degree. The feeling just now made him sense danger, so it couldn't be wrong.

But since he couldn't find anyone, Ye Huang could only temporarily lie.

"Don't worry, brother. This is Yucheng, not abroad. There shouldn't be any problems. You might be overthinking it."

"I hope so. The situation in the country isn't as peaceful as before. Many different forces have flooded in, so we need to be more careful in the future."

The current domestic situation was no longer the same as before. Due to the increasing openness of the country, various forces from around the world had flooded in to seize resources and develop their strength. Apart from the government regulations being stricter than in other countries, there was almost no difference in other aspects.

Ye Huang scanned the square outside the door again, hoping to find some traces, but he was ultimately disappointed. He sighed and turned to walk into Qinguo Qincheng with Chu Tiange.

In the distance, behind a huge banyan tree, two black figures were hidden. Two pairs of sharp eyes stared at Qinguo Qincheng, and one of them said:

"Truly worthy of being the world's top assassin, the Blood Demon. I just glanced at him and almost got discovered. It seems this mission won't be easy."

"World's top? Blood Demon? Hmph! In my eyes, he's just my prey. I didn't encounter him before, but this time I will definitely take his head!"

The tall, scar-faced man licked his lips, a sinister look on his face.

"Lone Wolf! Don't be so arrogant every time! The Demon lineage has existed for thousands of years, with unparalleled depth. This Blood Demon shouldn't be any worse."

"This time, we were ordered to take his head. We need to be careful, or we might fail the mission and lose our lives."

Hearing his partner's arrogance, the thin man's face turned unhappy. He had studied the Blood Demon before, and all the assassins in their organization had a zero survival rate when facing him.

This meant that the Blood Demon's strength was terrifying, almost invincible. Although the organization's strength had greatly increased in the past two years, he believed that killing the Blood Demon would still be extremely difficult.

"What? Waning Moon, are you afraid? If you're afraid, you can go back. I'll complete this mission myself, and I'll still give you your half of the reward. Hehe..."

Hearing his partner undermine their own morale, the man called Lone Wolf's face turned cold as he spoke to Waning Moon.

"Hmph! I'm afraid that if I leave, no one will be there to clean up your body." Waning Moon coldly hummed, stepped out of the shadows, and adjusted his hair, then walked towards Qinguo Qincheng like an ordinary customer.

"Hmph! I'll show you who the real boss is." Licking his lips, Lone Wolf stared at Waning Moon with a bloodthirsty look, then turned and walked to the side of Qinguo Qincheng.
