Seeing that Lu Fan’s aura could be concealed, the old village chief was quite pleased. "Now that you have cultivated the Art of Killing to perfection, even a King-level assassin might not be able to tell that you are not from the Assassin Dynasty!"
"Then can we set off now?"
Lu Fan asked expectantly, "With the current Art of Returning to the West, there is no need to worry about anything else!"
"Actually, finding the killer will not be that simple!"
The old village chief said directly, "Even a branch of the Assassin Dynasty has countless assassins!"
"Is there any other way?"
Lu Fan asked with a slight surprise, "As long as I can find the real killer, I will pay any price!"
"Unless you can see the Assassin Jade Butterfly, you will never know who carried out this assassination!" the old village chief said directly. "At Lion Peak, those who can see the Assassin Jade Butterfly are trusted by the branch leader!"
"As long as there is an opportunity, I will not give up!"
Lu Fan nodded solemnly. Since the Assassin Jade Butterfly could reveal this, how could he give up easily?
After a journey, the old village chief paused slightly, looking ahead.
Directly in front of them stood a towering mountain, piercing the clouds and obscuring the sky.
"Is that Lion Peak ahead?"
Lu Fan asked in surprise, "It's so majestic!"
"A place chosen by the Assassin Dynasty, how could it be an ordinary place!"
The old village chief said directly, "Lion Peak is rich in spiritual energy but filled with poisonous mist. Ordinary people dare not venture there easily. It is the most suitable place to be a base!"
"It's chosen so secretly, are they afraid of other forces knowing!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly.
"The Assassin Dynasty deals in assassination. So many forces hate them to the bone, how dare they be reckless!" the old village chief said directly.
As they talked, they gradually approached Lion Peak. Just as Lu Fan was about to enter, he was stopped by the old village chief. "Don't be rash. To enter Lion Peak, you must have an assassin token!"
"Assassin token?"
Lu Fan looked puzzled and very surprised.
"The assassin token is the symbol of the assassins of the Assassin Dynasty and also a symbol of identity!"
The old village chief said directly, "After an assassin comes out, we will snatch their token, and then we can replace their identity!"
"That's a good idea!"
Lu Fan nodded, but he was a little suspicious, "Won't this act of stealing identity be discovered?"
"In the Assassin Dynasty, as long as you understand the Art of Returning to the West, you won't be suspected!"
The old village chief said directly, "Moreover, assassins basically do not know each other!"
With the old village chief's assurance, Lu Fan finally felt relieved. After all, if they entered Lion Peak and something went wrong, they would not be able to get out.
Waiting outside Lion Peak for a moment, Lu Fan saw a figure in black sprinting out, moving extremely fast as if heading for a mission.
Lu Fan immediately stepped out, unleashing the Art of Returning to the West, eager to see its power.
At the same time, the black-clothed man sensed Lu Fan and frowned slightly. Assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were generally dressed in black. Lu Fan was not wearing black, which made him a little surprised.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Fan used his Blood Seal Throat technique, instantly taking down the black-clothed man.
"Such swift technique!"
The old village chief smiled. "You have an immeasurable future."
"He's just a Half-Saint!" Lu Fan shrugged. "It's convenient to deal with him!"
"That being said, you are also just a Half-Saint!" the old village chief chuckled.
Lu Fan said no more, directly changing into the black-clothed man's clothes and taking his token. This token was the Heavenly Venerate Order of the Assassin Dynasty, representing a Spirit Venerate level assassin.
At the same time, another figure emerged from within Lion Peak. The old village chief did not hesitate and eliminated him as well, also donning black clothes.
"You were a member of the Assassin Dynasty before, why do you need to impersonate?" Lu Fan asked inexplicably.
"I have long since retired from the Assassin Dynasty. The past is the past!"
The old village chief shook his head. "However, we have successfully obtained our identities. When we enter Lion Peak, we must be extra careful."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, then looked at the words on the token. This assassin was named Haotian, which was likely his name. Since Lu Fan was entering the Assassin Dynasty, he would naturally use the name Haotian.
"I still have a mission on me. Returning to Lion Peak now might arouse suspicion!"
The old village chief said, "It seems I have to complete the assassination mission before I can return to Lion Peak!" Su Dan Novel Network
"My mission is different from yours. We will rendezvous here after completion!"
Lu Fan said, "Don't go back on your word, old man!"
"My granddaughter is in your hands, so how could I go back on my word." The old village chief waved his hand. "After completing the mission, we will meet here, and then I will take you to Lion Peak!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, placing great importance on this. Although he knew there was a branch of the Assassin Dynasty within Lion Peak, he did not understand many things and naturally needed assistance.
After the old village chief left, Lu Fan looked at the assassin mission. This time, Haotian's mission was to assassinate the Old Ancestor of the Liu family. This Old Ancestor was a peak Half-Saint and was quite famous in Liu City.
As for where this mission came from, Lu Fan did not know and did not care.
A short while later, Lu Fan arrived at Liu City. The city was adorned with lanterns and banners, as if celebrating a joyous occasion, with the sounds of gongs and drums everywhere.
"Make way, make way! My Old Ancestor is getting married today. You can't block the road on this main street!"
A man said arrogantly, driving a carriage towards the Liu family. The carriage was laden with gifts. It was a joyous occasion for the Old Ancestor of the Liu family to get married today, so the Liu family servants were naturally very proud.
"Old Ancestor of the Liu family is getting married?"
Lu Fan glanced, even more perplexed. For someone to be the Old Ancestor of the Liu family, they must be quite old. To get married at this age, one wondered which poor girl he was about to harm.
Lu Fan had initially felt a bit of pity. After all, assassinating the Old Ancestor of the Liu family seemed a bit unreasonable. He had no enmity with him, but now it seemed very necessary.
However, Lu Fan did not rush to act. It was not yet time. Acting too rashly in broad daylight would not be good.
After all, his current identity was Haotian, a Spirit Venerate level assassin. If he was too ostentatious, it would attract others' attention, and exposing his identity at that time would not be worth the loss.
He went to a tavern and ordered some wine and dishes, drinking slowly and appearing very casual.
