740 Assassination in the Night
After Lin Xujie and Lin Xuxing heard Lin yuelan’s reminder, they immediately understood.
There was a hidden force in Willow leaf Village that specialized in protecting the wealth of the Liu family.
Liu Yichen had predicted that Yuwen Feiye would not give up. After knowing his identity, he would definitely come to the inn to steal the treasure!
However, to snatch the treasure, they had to silence the witnesses. Therefore, everyone in Fortune Inn had to die!
In fact, Lin Xujie and Lin Qingsong had only guessed one thing, but they had not thought of the other.
Second, regardless of whether Liu Yichen had the thousand-year-old ginseng or not, he would be killed tonight.
Jiang Zhennan was holding a big knife and guarding the stairs on the third floor with swift and fierce steps.
He had come to Qingfeng city to protect Lin yuelan.
Half of the people on the third floor were lin yuelan’s men, while the rest were his and Liu yichen’s.
Therefore, he wanted to be a little selfish this time, just to protect the people he wanted to protect.
From time to time, from every corner of the darkness, a man in black with a ghostface symbol would appear. Then, the moment the first group of men in black rushed in, the ghostface men in black immediately took out their knives and killed them.
Perhaps they had received some kind of order, but in the darkness, not a single light was lit in the inn!
However, everyone seemed to be fighting in the bright light of the day. They were fighting, stabbing, and beheading.
In the darkness, there would be screams from time to time.
However, it seemed that everyone in the room was in a deep sleep. They didn’t care about the screams outside at all.
The two groups of Men in Black were evenly matched at the beginning, but in the end, it was clear that the Man in Black with the Ghostface had the upper hand.
At the start, the leader of the men in black seemed to have never expected that there would be another force waiting for them.
From the mask, the other force was from the legendary ghost face organization.
The ghost Face organization was similar to the Broken Souls Pavilion in that they were involved in the business of assassination.
However, no one knew who their leader was or where the ghost Face organization was located.
The way they accepted orders was special too. As long as one went to the mortuary at night and lit a lotus lamp, someone would blindfold one and bring one to the place to make a deal with them. One would pay in one go. Otherwise, they wouldn’t take the order. However, once they took the order, they would definitely complete the task.
The men in black had only heard that the ghost face organization only took orders to kill people, but he had never heard of them taking orders to protect people.
But now…
Seeing that his subordinates were getting fewer and fewer and that more and more of them were falling, he immediately asked in a stern voice, “Why is the ghost Face organization going against the Broken Souls Pavilion?”
Those people didn’t seem to hear his question. They were like puppets, repeating the action of killing.
“I’m Qi Ran, the second-in-charge of the Broken Souls pavilion. May I ask if there’s any misunderstanding? ” The leader asked again.
But no one answered him.
Seeing that the assassins of the Broken Souls Pavilion were getting fewer and fewer, the leader, Qi Ran, became more and more anxious.
Not only would they not be able to complete their mission tonight, but they would also lose many people here.
In order to preserve his strength, the leader gritted his teeth and ordered, ” retreat!”
However, at this moment, he couldn’t just retreat as he wished.
The members of the ghost face organization immediately chased after every member of the Broken Souls pavilion who tried to escape. In short, no one was able to escape.
The leader saw that he could not escape like this, so he immediately looked into the inn with his sharp eyes. Then, he took advantage of the moment when the ghost masked men had an opening and immediately ran inside the inn.
The ghost masked man was surprised when he saw this, but he quickly sent out three or four ghost-masked men to chase after them.
Qi Ran immediately ran toward the third floor.
In the westernmost corner of the third floor, there was a big tree. As long as he jumped over the big tree, he could escape outside.
As long as Qi Ran was still alive, he swore that he would definitely seek revenge on the ghost Face organization.
Qi Ran escaped to the third floor.
However, he had never expected that there would be an even bigger obstacle on the third floor blocking his way.
Seeing a man holding a big knife guarding the third-floor staircase, Qi Ran thought that he was just an ordinary guard. Without thinking, he picked up the knife in his hand and rushed over, shouting, “Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
