Chapter 216 Killing someone at night, what else is that but assassination?
"Am I out of touch with the times? Is this how assassins explain things now?" Wang Yu was stunned, his mind racing with thoughts of whether he should retire. He couldn't understand what Ye Nanxiao was saying.
"Besides, killing someone at night, in the dead of night, what else is that but assassination?" Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly, realizing that Wang Yu might have a problem with his head.
Wang Yu's worldview had been bombarded by Ye Nanxiao's set of ideas, and he nodded numbly.
Soon, the Dark Night Guild received news of Mu Shiyi's assassination attempt.
The underworld suddenly became lively.
Dark Night Guild.
A middle-aged man with a hooked nose sat in the right-hand row of seats in the hall, saying with a disdainful look, "This Mu Shiyi wanted to assassinate someone and even leaked the information. I don't think he's anything special!"
Opposite the middle-aged man with a hooked nose was a kind-looking man. Sitting at the head of the table in the middle of the hall was an old man who was resting with his eyes closed, his face wrinkled like withered tree branches.
"Second brother, what do you think of this matter?" the old man asked.
The honest-looking man immediately replied, "Boss, I think there's something fishy about this."
"Something's fishy? I think it's clearly just that Mu Shiyi was careless and let the news slip by." The hook-nosed man laughed. "Boss, don't overthink it. Mu Shiyi is just one person."
"Third brother, you just can't shake this contemptuous habit, can you?" the old man said coldly.
The man with the hooked nose smiled and said nothing more.
The honest-looking man said, "I think it's possible that Mu Shiyi deliberately leaked this information. According to the intelligence, Mu Shiyi is a Soul Master with extremely high Soul Guidance Device skills, and may even be close to level eight. So he is at least a level six Soul Master. Although Mu Shiyi is arrogant, his strength should not be underestimated. After all, it was Mu Shiyi who defeated Xiao Nanye, who even Elder Jin found troublesome."
The old man nodded and said, "What the second brother said makes sense. Xiao Nanye is such a person that he almost made Vice President Wu Ye take action personally. Pass down the order that from now on, the patrols within the guild will be doubled, with shifts day and night. During this time, the two of you should not take on any missions and should stay in the guild to oversee things."
The honest-looking man and the man with the hooked nose nodded in agreement.
The Dark Night Guild sent out a message: "Does Mu Shiyi dare to provoke us?" After exchanging words, they quietly strengthened their internal patrol and defense forces.
For a time, the entire underground assassin and soul master world was focused on the duel between Mu Shiyi and the Dark Night Assassin Guild.
When Orange received this message, her first thought wasn't whether Ye Nanxiao could defeat the Dark Night Guild, but rather she wondered what big event Ye Nanxiao was planning.
After seeing the two Mingwei, Ju Zi had a general idea of Ye Nanxiao's strength. With Ye Nanxiao's methods, it was the Dark Night Guild that was going to suffer.
Out of curiosity, Ju Zi left a message on the communication soul tool, asking Ye Nanxiao what he was up to now.
At this moment, Ye Nanxiao was busy organizing a huge thing in his hands, a soul-guided cannon shell that was as tall as Ye Nanxiao and as wide as three people.
"The level 6 soul-guided cannonballs are the highest level I can currently produce. I only have six, which doesn't seem like enough. It looks like I'll have to use up all my ammunition reserves to deal with Soul Douluo this time." Ye Nanxiao took a few steps back, rubbing his chin as he examined the level 6 soul-guided cannonballs in front of him.
All around, there were sixteen silencing beads floating. After more than ten of the transformed silencing beads were connected together, they would emit a force field to capture the aura fluctuations emitted by the soul tool.
"Judging from your posture, you're not planning to take any spoils this time?" Xue Di emerged from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows and floated beside him.
Ye Nanxiao secretly observed Xue Di's attire.
This soul-guided cannonball is huge and very white.
Xue Di and Ye Nanxiao were of the same mind. Sensing Ye Nanxiao's thoughts, she couldn't help but give him a charmingly disdainful look.
"Ahem, well, it's already blown up, why bother with looting?" Ye Nanxiao forcibly looked away, his face turning serious.
"Are you confident about handling such a large iron ball?" Xue Di strode with her long, jade-like legs and stepped into the soul-guided cannonball, tapping it a few times on the iron tower.
"Yes, yes." Ye Nanxiao's gaze followed Xue Di's movements.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's perfunctory answer, Xue Di frowned slightly and turned to ask, "Is it white?"
"White!" Ye Nanxiao answered subconsciously.
Xue Di stepped forward and asked, "Want to try it out?"
Ye Nanxiao then noticed that he had been teased by Xue Di, smiled, and continued modifying the level six soul-guided cannon shell.
Xue Di lay on Ye Nanxiao's back, one arm around Ye Nanxiao's neck, the other stroking Ye Nanxiao's hair.
Feeling the warmth and softness behind him, Ye Nanxiao quickly said, "Stop fooling around, let me work properly!"
Seeing Ye Nanxiao blush, Xue Di reluctantly climbed off Ye Nanxiao's back and transformed into a stream of light, returning to Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
"I feel like Xiao'er isn't as cute as she used to be. Why is that?" Xue Di asked, lying among a pile of comic books, troubled.
"Could it be?" Xue Di rummaged through the pile of books around her and found a book titled "Attention to the Rebellious Period of Teenagers".
After Ye Nanxiao finished his work, he assigned Xiao Ye No. 3 to appear on the field wearing a referee's uniform, while he himself put on a disguise mask and slipped out of the field in a black robe.
"A dark and windy night for murder, little sister, remember to keep your blankets warm~" Humming an unknown tune, Ye Nanxiao hurried along and soon saw the headquarters of the Dark Night Assassin Guild.
The Dark Night Guild, disguised as an ordinary sect, had two assassins standing guard at the entrance, and a ten-person squad patrolling the area from time to time.
"It seems there's quite a strong defense." Ye Nanxiao took off his black robe, casually found a teahouse to sit in, ordered a large table of food as cover, and secretly observed the situation of the Dark Night Guild.
"There's a patrol team at the entrance every ten minutes or so, so the entrance isn't a good infiltration point." Ye Nanxiao quietly dispatched Little Ye No. 2.
Xiao Ye No. 2 walked out of the teahouse, found a deserted alley, and ran into the sky on the floating ice.
Xiao Ye No. 2 stopped two thousand meters above the Dark Night Guild, and purple light rose in his eyes, making everything in front of him clear.
With the help of the building's lights, Xiao Ye No. 2 could barely make out the patrol situation inside the Dark Night Guild.
"Each squad will make contact with the squads they encounter, about every five minutes. Each squad has ten people, and there are a few special squads with two people each. Judging from their movement patterns, they don't seem to have a fixed pattern," Xiao Ye No. 2 muttered to himself.
"There are quite a few soul-guided cannons, and too many guard forces."
Xiao Ye No. 2 focused his attention on special two-person teams. These two people had no specific movement patterns and could disguise themselves as long as they had the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye No. 2 had a rough plan in mind, which then turned into snowflakes and scattered away.
Ye Nanxiao estimated the time, walked out of the teahouse, and just then received the message brought by Little Ye No. 2.
After digesting the memories, Ye Nanxiao conjured numerous ice mirrors that floated around him and began to act.
Using blind spots and time intervals, Ye Nanxiao climbed onto a two-story house and lay on the roof waiting for the special team to arrive.
They passed by two patrol teams, but the highest-ranking one was a Soul King, and they didn't notice Ye Nanxiao lying on the roof.
During the handover between the squad members, they took a few sips of wine from the flask, chatted for a while, and then continued their patrol.
Seeing the undisciplined squad, Ye Nanxiao changed his mind on the spot.
Soon, two members of the special team, chatting as they walked, came into Ye Nanxiao's view.
Ye Nanxiao conjured a human-shaped ice floe and controlled it to move around on the second floor.
A sharp-eyed Soul King quickly spotted the moving ice man, and, puzzled, pulled his companion into the house, heading straight for the second floor to check the situation.
"This is... a large block of ice?" A Soul King discovered the humanoid ice block standing on the balcony.
"Could it be that those bastards in the kitchen forgot to take it back after moving it out? This building was originally for storing freezers," another Soul King said.
"Whatever, I'll just leave it here and ignore it."
The two turned around and saw Ye Nanxiao.
Before the two could be on guard, Ye Nanxiao removed his mask, revealing a pink light in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Good evening, you two."
"Good, good!" Caught off guard, the two Soul Kings were charmed and their consciousness became confused.
Ye Nanxiao walked behind the two, reached out with both hands, grabbed their necks, and used his soul power to knock them unconscious.
"Hehe, let's dedicate ourselves to that man who wears a headscarf, symbolizing freedom!" Ye Nanxiao conjured an ice blade, and with a few slashes, he shredded the clothes of the two Soul Kings, forming two large icy hands. He then stacked the two men together, arranging them in a hand-to-hand wrestling stance.
After finishing, Ye Nanxiao quickly jumped onto the roof, waiting for someone to discover what was happening.
"Why did you just block me?" Xue Di asked.
"The scene just now was quite exciting, and these things are not friendly, so I cut off the vision sharing," Ye Nanxiao explained.
Within five minutes, two patrol teams appeared from both sides.
The two squad leaders stopped and exchanged a few words. Suddenly, one of the team members noticed something amiss and pointed to the house where Ye Nanxiao was hiding, saying, "Captain, there seem to be two people there?"
The two captains looked over and their expressions immediately turned serious. They placed their hands on their waists and made a gesture. The team members took out their soul tools and armed themselves. The group moved around cautiously.
One of the two captains wielded a longsword, while the other captain had two cylindrical soul-guiding devices attached to his arm.
"The time is almost right." Ye Nanxiao separated into Little Ye No. 2 and handed him a storage bracelet.
Xiao Ye No. 2 smiled mysteriously, took the storage bracelet, put on the disguise mask, and rode away on the floating ice.
"Seriously, I'm so handsome." Ye Nanxiao said narcissistically, looking at the back of his clone.
"Holy crap! Captain and those two are doing something inappropriate!" a cry of surprise rang out.
Ye Nanxiao put on the disguise mask, jumped down, and ran all the way to the center.
