Chapter: 170
Up to that point, Jeonghwa knew well.
The problem was that the assassin grew stronger over time. She could tell just by looking at the bodies of those who had been assassinated. As more people chase him, the cleaner and more sophisticated the scars of the corpses become.
She could tell by looking at how quickly he broke through the encircling net of the Qingyang Pavilion.�
Although three of Qingyang Pavilion were insignificant, they were still strong in their own way. But the assassin was said to have broken through without taking any damage.
At this level, the opponent could not be dismissed as an assassin who had only learned how to kill.
�You�re bound to see people who stand out wherever you go� but for a mere assassin� He must be eliminated. If you fail to get him, the repercussions will never end.�
As soon as it is revealed that Emei, a prestigious sect, ordered the assassination of the recently departed Woo Gunsang of the Qingcheng sect, Jianghu�s attention and criticism will be focused on them.�
Even if it was not revealed, they cannot fall behind the Qingcheng sect. Or else the power of the Emei sect would be reduced even more.
�Where did that person come from��
They must first secure or eliminate the assassin before the world knows.
The truth could be revealed if the Qingcheng sect captures the assassin first.�
It was absolutely necessary to prevent such a situation.
Jeonghwa gave orders to her junior sisters and other disciples.
�Everyone will chase after the assassin. Run with all your might and catch up with him.�
�No. We cannot capture him like that.�
At that time, there was someone who interrupted her words.
The dazzlingly beautiful woman was Yong Seol-ran.
When her youngest junior sister dared to dispute her orders, Jeonghwa�s expression became more venomous.
�What do you mean?�
�Literally. The assassin possesses greater abilities than we expected. Given that he was not caught even with the inescapable net focused on him proves that fact. If we continue to chase after him like this, we will never be able to catch him and we will only be seeing the back of his head.�
�Hmph! Then what do you propose?�
�We should predict where he will go next.�
�How? Are you saying you know where he will go and that we�ll wait there?�
Irrespective of Jeong-hwa�s blunt reaction, Yong Seol-ran continued to speak calmly.
�I don�t know the exact destination, but I can estimate the approximate location.�
�How?�
�The Blood Shadow Group2 trained assassins in a secret place at the request of the Emei sect. At that time, we deduced that the place where the Blood Shadow Group trained assassins was near Batang. Although we failed to pinpoint the exact location, we found out that a lot of supplies were supplied through the area.�
Jeonghwa unconsciously listened to Yong Seol-ran.�
The Emei sect�s fate was at stake.�
Of course, the minimum safety device had to be put in place. So, they tried to find out both the location of the home base of the Blood Shadow Group and the facility of the assassins who were trained to assassinate Woo Gunsang.� JrNovels.com
