Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 149 Assassinate Me

Among the treasures of the Far North Sect, a prophecy was also sensed, which said that a master of ice souls or a successor of the ice god would appear.

Either one of these two options can solve the problem.

This refers to Meng Hongchen and Xia Die, but given the current situation, only Meng Hongchen can resolve this issue. Presumably, the upcoming tests will be related to this matter.

Finally, after the whole story was explained, all the high-ranking members of the Far North Sect knelt on one knee before Xia Die and Meng Hongchen, a sign of their submission to the Holy Maiden.

Under the sisters' command, an ancient and promising sect emerged, becoming one of their strongest backings.

However, the operation of the sect is still handled by the people of the Far North Sect themselves. Unless there are major decisions to be made, Huo Luoli will not interfere in the affairs of the Far North Sect.

Although he now had a new boss, Lan Xuanbing seemed very happy, as if an invisible burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

It was later explained that one of the nine trials in the Dream of the Mortal World would be related to them, so there was no rush.

After leaving the Northern Sect, he went directly back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The Duchess spent her days in a nightmare, dreaming about Xia Die every day. These past few days have been even more extreme, with recurring death dreams. She hadn't had this nightmare in a long time.

It has been like this ever since I saw Xia Die again.

But this profound fear made her feel as if countless evil spirits were crawling all over her.

The Duchess felt an absolute urge to kill her.

"No, this can't go on."

The Duchess's eyes flashed with absolute murderous intent; the nightmares that Xia Die had in her dreams were causing her great distress.

"Someone is coming."

Some servants ran over immediately.

"Madam, what are your orders?"

"Zhongshan, come here."

Zhong Shan was also one of the Duchess's men, and he was absolutely loyal to her. His men were also part of the operation to hunt down Huo Yun'er and her daughter.

"Yes."

Soon, an elderly man with snow-white hair walked slowly towards them. Time had etched deep lines on his face, and beneath his loose skin, the lines of his strong muscles were faintly visible. He wore a black robe, and a jade pendant at his waist swayed gently with each step. With every gesture, an aura of authority that had been accumulating over many years rippled out like a tide, causing everyone to unconsciously hold their breath and be attentive.

"Madam, what do you need me for?"

In the Star Luo Clan, there are also powerful figures who come to protect her. Right now, she is only a Soul Douluo, and this old man is also a Soul Douluo, but he is much stronger than the Duchess.

The Duchess is currently in a very bad situation, but even so, she remains a formidable figure.

Because of the Xia Die incident, the Duchess's reputation in the Star Luo Empire became very bad, and many people were gossiping about her behind her back.

But that's all there is to it.

During this period, many of the White Tiger Duke's personal guards defected to the Duchess.

the reason is simple.

Because her son, Dai Yueheng, will inevitably inherit the position of Duke of Baihu in the future, after all, Dai Yueheng currently has no competitors.

By siding with the Duchess now, he is essentially siding with the future White Tiger Duke, which would bring him many benefits.

Moreover, he could tell that Dai Yueheng was an ambitious person, and that Dai Yueheng might have the idea of ​​reclaiming the throne.

If Dai Yueheng were to regain the throne in the future, then his so-called personal guards would probably have a chance to gain merit for their role in the emperor's ascension.

The Duchess looked at the old man beside her and asked, "Zhongshan, if I asked you to assassinate Xia Die now, how confident would you be?"

Zhong Shan was stunned. No, he killed Xia Die.

Previously, when the Clear Sky Sect attacked the Sun Moon Sect, she was able to fight against a Title Douluo by herself and even killed one. She was also a user of four martial souls. At that time, she was only a Soul Emperor. Now?
They had no idea how terrifying this level of strength was.

He is now a genius of the Sun Moon Empire, and will surely be carefully protected by the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, if one wants to assassinate Xia Die, the only option is to take advantage of the chaos.

The problem is that Mingdetang's situation is very stable, and there's no opportunity for them to take advantage of the chaos.

Furthermore, assassinations are generally carried out by highly skilled individuals.

He was just a guard at the Soul Douluo level, not a demigod Douluo.

Even a demigod cannot kill it easily.
Protecting the Duchess was fulfilling his duty, but traveling to the Sun and Moon Realm to kill Xia Die was somewhat beyond the scope of his responsibilities.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The chances are less than 10%."

"Less than 10%?" The Duchess's face darkened.

Zhong Shan began to patiently explain: "Yes, if she hadn't reached level 60, I would have been very confident in killing her, but not now."

Because of the previous attack on Sun Moon by the Clear Sky Sect, she personally killed several Title Douluo.

Although he had the support of a Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire, he was still a Title Douluo, not someone a Soul Emperor could kill. Yet, even such a being was easily killed by Xia Die.

She was in the Sun Moon Empire; her status was definitely not low. She was killed before she even had a chance to find him.

The Duchess was shocked. She hadn't been following Douluo Continent for a while and never expected something like this to happen.

Killing Xia Die wouldn't be that difficult, but even so, she must die. For her son's sake, no matter how difficult, she must die. "Since that's the case, then find more people. Anyway, you only need to remember one thing: the money comes from outside, and it must be used to its fullest potential. That Xia Die must die." The Duchess's expression was somewhat ferocious.

"Yes, sir." Zhong Shan replied somewhat helplessly, prepared to spend a long time in the Sun Moon Empire guarding Xia Die.

Or the only option is to turn to them on the black market.

For the sake of the Duchess, they went directly to the black market. After all, there were several Title Douluos on the list who came from the black market, so their strength was enough to rival the Sun Moon Empire.

He also knew someone in the black market, but not at the top.

The organization he belonged to was called Yaozhu, an assassin organization of the Star Luo Empire, which had unknowingly moved into the black market.

Generally speaking, these assassin organizations take money and do dirty work for big shots.

The Shining Candle is a well-regarded assassin organization. Many nobles place orders with the organization to kill their brothers and sisters who are vying for the right of succession.

However, such organizations are not very prominent in the black market; there are many who are more powerful than them.

Soon, Zhong Shan entered a hotel and quickly found the hotel owner.

The hotel owner was an obese man who was currently examining the map of the Star Luo Empire on the wall, along with some wanted posters, his expression extremely serious.

After exchanging secret signals, they led him to a dark room and served him some beef and a pound of wine.

After a while, a man walked over. He was rather thin and had a scar on his face. He was Yaozhu's boss.

Because of the scar, his code name is Scar.

He sat down and looked at the man in front of him.

“Scarface, I need to gather assassins to accompany me to kill someone, and it needs to be 100% successful,” Zhong Shan said bluntly.

Scarface was somewhat surprised and said, "You know the rules."

"I've been here so many times, I know the rules."

Scarface took a big bite of a piece of beef on the table and said, "Okay, no problem. Tell me, who do you want to kill? You know, the money is priced according to the value of the person you're killing."

"Xiadie."

"puff!"

I was startled by this sentence after just having a drink.

"Who do you want to kill?"

"Xia Die, in your line of work, is it impossible for you not to do it?"

Scarface waved his hand and said, "No, it's just that I didn't expect you to actually lay a hand on her."

"Guest, you may not know this, but before, we had his wanted poster hanging here, and he belonged to a higher-ranking assassin organization than us. We were just a B-level."

Assassin organizations are also divided into levels, with the highest being SSS level, which is colored and has the most titled Douluo.

Because of the St. Freya Academy built by Xia Die, the interests of the black market have been affected, but no target has been found, and no one has come forward to this day.

"So, are you going to answer or not?"

"Of course we'll accept, but we need to consider the price, as it's negotiable."

Zhong Shan looked unwell, but he still nodded.

"You should know that I'm just a messenger. The higher-ups want you to do everything you can to kill Xia Die. As for what you need, we'll give it to you." He implied his extraordinary background through these words.

“Okay, I understand that. However, we need to investigate the difficulty of assassinating Xia Die first, and then conduct an assessment. As I mentioned earlier, the price needs to be negotiated. We will give the customer the price in three days before we proceed with the assassination.”

"Okay." Zhong Shan nodded, then quickly walked away.

After he left, Scarface said, "It seems we should ask Big Brother for help with this task."

In reality, too many interests were at stake, so whether or not money was used was irrelevant; the key was that she died.

"Old Scar, where are you going?"

When Scarface went out, he ran into his old brother, who was also the leader of a scarred organization called the Bright Radiance Organization. He was a thin man codenamed Radiance.

Scarface and Yao explain the situation in Zhongshan.

"Alright, Lao Yao, don't try to take this job. I'm leaving now."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

After everyone else left, the smile in his dazzling eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of murderous intent.

"I never expected that someone would try to assassinate Miss Xia Die. It seems I need to investigate Scarface's background and then tell Miss Xia Die about it so she can make the decision."

The so-called Mingyao actually belongs to Mingdetang and is considered a subordinate organization of Mingdetang. Mingdetang is nominally one of the three major forces in Douluo Continent, so it is normal for it to have some subordinate organizations.

Mingyao is mainly responsible for collecting rare metals, soul beasts, and intelligence work. As for his identity as an assassin organization, that is just a cover.

Yao, now a member of the Spirit Pagoda, has already disguised himself with a soul tool, so he is naturally not afraid of outsiders recognizing his true appearance.

In the shadows, a purple butterfly, if you look closely, you can see that it is the secluded butterfly beside the ethereal butterfly.

Having witnessed the whole thing, it flew away immediately.
