Shortly after she left, blood-shrouded figures abruptly appeared in the skies over Tianyu Imperial City.
Each of these people had their faces obscured by black cloths, wearing identical night-travel garments, with a powerful aura that twisted around them, rendering their presence undetectable.
Ten individuals consecutively materialized above the Imperial City of the Tianyu Empire, their auras vast and fierce, chilling to the extreme, yet failing to attract anyone's attention.
The leading man was tall and burly, a distinctive pattern of nine blood blades emblazoned on the front of his black night-travel garment, unusually conspicuous.
Supreme Assassin Pavilion, top-tier Nine-Blade Killer! A powerhouse of the Saint Realm!
If someone were to witness this scene, they would inevitably exclaim in shock!
Such high-ranking powerhouses actually appeared in the skies above the Imperial City of the Tianyu Empire!
"Are we sure the target is here?"
"Confirmed. The news came a few days ago, but we didn't make a move as we were waiting for Lord Jiu Ren to arrive," the other assassins, adorned with patterns of seven or eight blood blades on their chests, regarded the leading strongman with great deference.
The killers of the Supreme Assassin Pavilion hailed from all over, and when they gathered, everyone's identity was concealed. No one knew who the others were; recognition was solely based on individual identity marks and the rank determined by the Pavilion.
And this leading powerhouse, as a Nine-Blade Level assassin of the Supreme class, was naturally in command of the entire operation!
"Right, disperse immediately, search for the target!" the Nine-Blade Killer ordered.
"Yes!" A group of Seventh and Eighth Blade assassins nodded and scattered throughout the Imperial City of the Tianyu Empire to search.
And all of this escaped the notice of those strongmen guarding Tianyu Imperial City!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Luo Qingtong's figure flitted through the Imperial Palace of the Tianyu Empire.
She had traveled this path before, the route now familiar to her.
In no time, she had found her way to the Royal Treasury's grand entrance.
All the sentries, defenses, and guardians stationed there were utterly ineffective against Luo Qingtong.
There was once a globally renowned theft organization that publicly declared, should Luo Qingtong switch to being a thief, their organization would be forced to disband!
Because no one could match Luo Qingtong's thieving skills!
They simply couldn't contend with her strength!
It was just too much like cheating!
Even with such acclaim, and despite receiving offers from various intelligence agencies and dark forces from around the world, Luo Qingtong showed no interest in joining any organization!
She lived only for herself.
She did so in her past life, and she does so in this one too!
"Done!"
Easily deciphering the use of that silver necklace, Luo Qingtong's fingers deftly wound it, and the necklace melted and recombined into a silver key in her hands.
"Indeed, it's both thick and long," Luo Qingtong remarked with a smile of genuine interest as she looked at the key.
Royal Treasury, here she comes!
Luo Qingtong, with a smile still on her face, inserted the key into the lock of the grand entrance.
In an instant, whirring sounds echoed as energy lines on it slid around, quickly forming a rune pattern.
The next second, with a quiet "click", the doors opened a crack.
Luo Qingtong leapt in.
Just as she entered the Royal Treasury, outside the courtyard reserved by Prince Chun Jiu in Yingchun Building, a series of blood-shrouded figures descended with a 'swoosh'.
It was the members of the Supreme Assassin Pavilion locating Ye Qianming.
