Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 101 The Assassin Who Fell to His Death and Hise Who Laughed to Death

"Peak of Level 5, just one step away from Level 6 warrior!" Delinkovt flew out of the Azure Dragon Ring and exclaimed with delight, "Linley, try out the effects of dragon transformation!"

……

Lei Ming left the Monster Mountain Range and returned to the Kingdom of Finland in less than half a day. He had been away from the Kingdom of Finlay for several years, and almost nothing had changed there.

Lei Ming changed his clothes and slowly walked into Fenlai City. As soon as he appeared in Fenlai City, he was spotted by two forces.

Soon, news of Lei Ming reached some people.

"The target has finally appeared!" Albert, the Arbiter of the Dark Alliance, couldn't help but get excited when he heard that Lei Ming had returned. Several years ago, he had been sent by the Dark Alliance to Fenlai City to assassinate Lei Ming. Lei Ming's talent was so strong that it terrified the Dark Alliance.

The Arbitrators of the Dark Alliance are similar to the Inquisition of the Holy Alliance, specializing in handling matters that cannot be brought to the table. The Arbitrators are all very powerful, with the weakest being at least level seven.

The Dark Alliance's previous assassination attempt on Lei Ming failed, so this time they dispatched Albert, a level nine warrior. Albert cultivates dark battle qi and has previously assassinated peak level nine warriors and even a grand mage.

"Act immediately," Albert ordered.

Almost simultaneously, Gilmer also learned of Thunder's news.

"Archbishop, besides Thunder, I've discovered something else," Marcus said. "The moment Thunder appeared, the Dark Alliance sprang into action; they're very likely planning an assassination attempt on him. Should we send the Knights to protect Thunder?"

Gilmer shook his head: "Don't act yet. Thunder's faith in the Lord is not pure, otherwise he wouldn't have left quietly. Let him suffer a bit before we make our move. If he still can't establish faith in the Lord, then..." Gilmer made a chopping motion, and Marcus nodded silently.

The Holy See of Light values ​​Lei Ming because they want him to work for them. If they cannot make him work for them, then Lei Ming's existence is actually an obstacle.

Albert's stealth skills were exceptional; even in daylight, few could detect him. Using the shadows along the roadside, Albert moved stealthily, his figure almost blending into the shadows.

"We'll be there soon." Albert hid in a corner, quietly waiting for Lei Ming to arrive. He held a blood-red dagger and concealed all his aura.

Lei Ming strolled slowly from the other end of the street. Just as he was about to pass the corner where Albert was lurking, Lei Ming suddenly stopped, then turned and walked away.

"Could he have discovered me?" Albert was greatly surprised, but seeing that Lei Ming's movements were unhurried, he dismissed the idea.

"You're going to die no matter what."

Albert silently followed Lei Ming, getting closer and closer to him. When he was less than ten meters away from Lei Ming, Albert made his move.

Albert squinted, staring intently at Lei Ming. His gaze was devoid of any emotion, as cold as steel.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the flag above to flutter, and Albert moved accordingly. He walked around the pedestrians in front of him, who only felt a momentary daze and didn't see him at all.

Finally, Albert handed over a dagger, which was made of a special material that was not only hard but also highly poisonous.

Lei Ming still didn't react at all, but just as the dagger was about to pierce Lei Ming, Albert suddenly slipped and fell.

Albert was completely stunned; his shoe had slipped, and he had fallen backward. When he came to his senses, Lei Ming was looking at him mockingly.

"What on earth happened?" Albert asked himself. How could a dignified level nine dark warrior like himself slip and fall during an assassination attempt? Could there be anything more absurd in this world?

"What do you want? Are you trying to scam me?" Lei Ming asked with a smile.

Albert immediately tried to stand up, but something even more surprising happened: no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up. It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, pressing him down tightly.

"Earth magic, gravity spell!" Albert immediately understood. He looked around in a panic. The magic that could suppress him was at least cast by a Grand Magus, or even possibly by a Saint-level expert.

"Could it be that a Saint-level expert from the Holy Alliance has made a move?" Albert thought to himself. He never dreamed that it would be Lei Ming who would make the move.

With a muffled thud, Albert's heart suddenly exploded. Lei Ming glanced at him, then turned and slowly walked away.

A while later, Gilmer and Marcus arrived with their men, and both were very surprised to see Albert's body.

"It's Albert, the Arbiter of the Dark Alliance, a level nine powerhouse!" Marcus checked and confirmed Albert's identity.

"How did he die?" Gilmer asked quickly.

"He fell to his death," Marcus concluded, a conclusion he himself could hardly believe.

"A level nine dark warrior fell to his death in Fenlai City. What do you think His Holiness the Pope will think when he hears this news?" Gilmer was somewhat angry, and he wanted to curse Marcus in his heart.

"Maybe he fell really hard and shattered his heart," Marcus said after examining him, simply stating the facts.

Thunder returned to the palace, and Clyde was both surprised and delighted to see him. Several years ago, when Caesar returned from the Monster Mountain Range, Clyde knew that Thunder possessed the strength of level nine.

Clyde sensed Lei Ming's aura, but even with his level nine warrior strength, he couldn't detect a trace of Lei Ming's presence.

"You broke through?" Clyde asked, his voice trembling involuntarily.

Thunder nodded and flew to Clyde's side.

"Haha!" Clyde couldn't help but laugh out loud, his fists clenched tightly and he kept banging them together.

"Excellent, excellent!" Clyde exclaimed happily, "A banquet will be held tonight!"

At the headquarters of the Sabre organization, a message was delivered to Hise, the founder of Sabre.

"My lord, someone has offered 500 million gold coins to assassinate Lei Ming, the genius prince of the Kingdom of Fenlai," a level nine assassin said. "We took on this job a few years ago, but Lei Ming only recently returned to Fenlai City. We also found out that Albert, the level nine dark warrior and Arbitrator of the Dark Alliance, attacked Lei Ming, but Albert is dead, while Lei Ming is still alive."

"Interesting!" Hisai looked at Lei Ming's information. He didn't care about Lei Ming's talent. Hisai himself was a person with extremely high talent.

"How did Albert die?" Hise asked.

"The people from the Holy See said he died from a fall." The level nine assassin's expression was very strange.

Upon hearing this, Hisai was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"It seems the Holy Land of the Holy See has made a move. That guy Haitings is too proud to admit that he killed a level nine warrior of the Dark Alliance with his Holy Land power. But even if he's going to make up an excuse, he should at least make one that's plausible. Is he trying to make me laugh to death with this excuse?" Hise said.

"Sir, should we still take this order?" the level nine assassin asked.

"Of course I'll do it." Hise's expression suddenly turned cold, a coldness that disregarded everything, even life itself. "I'll take action myself and see what the Holy See can do."

At the palace banquet, Kare and Shak feigned a toast to Lei Ming, but Lei Ming sensed murderous intent emanating from them.

"The assassination attempt a few years ago must have been orchestrated by them. I didn't expect the two of them to still be working on it." Lei Ming took a sip of his drink, amused. He wanted to see what tricks the two of them were up to.

After the banquet, Lei Ming returned to his residence. He stopped moving as soon as he entered.

"It's extremely impolite of you to come uninvited," Lei Ming said to the darkness, but there was no response from within.

"Do I have to invite you again?" Lei Ming's heart stirred, and he shot several ice arrows toward a corner. The dark area moved, and a figure appeared in front of Lei Ming.

"You actually managed to find me?" Hisai was very surprised. He had thought Lei Ming was bluffing him, but he didn't expect Lei Ming to actually find him.

Lei Ming looked at the other party and said, "In the entire Yulan Continent, only the King of Slaughter, Hise, possesses such killing intent and such a level of cultivation."

Hisai looked at Lei Ming with suspicion and was horrified to find that he could not sense Lei Ming's presence after entering.
