Yiban Tower.

The name sounds ordinary, but it actually derives from the phrase ’Seeing the leopard through a partial glimpse’.

Years ago, the founder of Mirror of Sin personally named it as a place for gathering information.

However, the recorder mistakenly wrote ’partial glimpse’ as ’ordinary’.

By the time the Yiban Tower was built and its plaque hung high, the original leader of Mirror of Sin realized the mistake.

The recorder wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

But he was stopped, and the leader of Mirror of Sin laughed and said: ’Ordinary’ is even better than ’partial glimpse’.

"A tree standing out in the forest is always destroyed by the wind; an assassin should blend in with the crowd, appearing ordinary on the outside, hiding the extraordinary within. The term ’ordinary’ is just right."

Thus, Yiban Tower was retained.

The main branch of Mirror of Sin has one, and so does each local sub-branch.

The sub-branch leader brought Zhou Fu’an all the way to Yiban Tower, and the Mirror of Sin disciples who were busy here stopped their affairs one after another.

They looked up at the sub-branch leader.

The sub-branch leader frowned slightly; he was somewhat reluctant to set this place on fire.

After all, it was years of effort... If it weren’t for suspecting that the visitor’s martial arts were too high to withstand, he would never take such action.

However, after pondering, he still ordered the disciples busy inside to leave, and he himself fetched an oil lamp.

"If the visitors haven’t broken free from the Seventy-Two Fixed Yin Wind Array before the fire spreads, put out the fire immediately.

"Otherwise... let it burn!"

The lamp oil was splashed, and the flames caught fire.

The sub-branch leader and Zhou Fu’an walked out of Yiban Tower and stood still, waiting for a message here.

As the fire light behind them gradually spread... finally, figures appeared before them.

But it wasn’t the assassins from the sub-branch, it was Chu Qing and Gentle.

Chu Qing now held in his hand a sword not from the farmer’s disguise but seized from a Mirror of Sin assassin later.

This sword was much more decent than the previous one.

The sword tip pointed diagonally to the ground, and with each step forward, drops of fresh blood dripped onto the ground, soaking into the soil.

Gentle followed behind him, her eyes sweeping around, scanning each disciple coming out from Yiban Tower.

Finally, she looked at the sub-branch leader and Zhou Fu’an standing in front of the building.

Zhou Fu’an’s pupils shrank slightly:

"It’s you..."

Chu Qing ignored Zhou Fu’an and instead watched the spreading fire behind the sub-branch leader in Yiban Tower.

He spoke softly:

"Yiban Tower... you do act quickly.

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to break the Seventy-Two Fixed Yin Wind Array; I should have come here first."

This array has an air of mystery, but it actually relies on numbers.

There may be some dharma gates among them... but they mean little to Chu Qing.

Relying on the Undying Golden Body and Tai Chi Swordsmanship, he charged through and shattered the array effortlessly.

"Who are you?"

The sub-branch leader certainly couldn’t be like those ordinary Mirror of Sin assassins who rush up without a word, only knowing how to fight.

His heart was full of questions, so he naturally asked.

Chu Qing’s gaze shifted to Zhou Fu’an:

"Master Zhou should know the identity of us two brothers."

"...I know."

Zhou Fu’an replied coldly:

"Han San, Han Si... sounds not like real names, unknown origin, and highly skilled.

"The three from Separation Sword, Flowing Rain Needle, and Heaven-Breaking Palm seem to have died by your hands...

"Did you indeed follow me here?"

Chu Qing cupped his fists:

"Thanks to Master Zhou for leading the way; otherwise, finding such a hidden place would have indeed been troublesome for us brothers."

"What exactly did Mirror of Sin do to offend you two?

"The three experts on the Evil Extermination List went to Dingxing City to slay Liu Yulai.

"What does it have to do with you?

"You not only killed them but also pursued me to the sub-branch?

"Why are you so relentless?"

Zhou Fu’an’s face turned iron-blue.

Chu Qing chuckled:

"I am a person of urgent justice, and I cannot stand places like yours full of filth and depravity.

"The saying ’No good person exists at Mirror of Sin’ is spoken better than sung.

"Specializing in exploiting innocent newcomers to the martial world, making them bloody their hands to earn dirty money for you."

"So you do know ’Sword Ghost’!

"Was the matter in Dingxing City a conspiracy between you and Sword Ghost?"

Zhou Fu’an originally suspected that ’Han San’ was ’Sword Ghost.’

But now, looking at the person before him, he couldn’t imagine how ’Sword Ghost’ could have transformed so completely in just a few months.

He completely destroyed the Mirror of Sin sub-branch; the Seventy-Two Fixed Yin Wind Array couldn’t stop him for even a cup of tea’s time.

Bear in mind, it takes at least seventy-two people to form the array, not to mention the other assassins of the Mirror of Sin. Even if they lined up on their knees waiting to be killed, they couldn’t be slaughtered in a cup of tea’s time.

If ’Sword Ghost’ had such abilities, he would have already been on the Evil Extermination List.

Even if it were through deception, such a person couldn’t be swayed away from the loyalty to the Mirror of Sin.

Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that ’Sword Ghost’ befriended this ’Han San’ at some unknown time, shared his experiences, and then conspired to cause trouble for the Mirror of Sin.

The more he thought about it, the more this idea seemed right.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"For the sake of a mere Mirror of Sin’s abandoned child, you’ve killed so many of our members...

"You are indeed an enemy of the Mirror of Sin!!"

"Hmm?"

Chu Qing shook his sword point, smiling as he spoke:

"I thought I had made myself quite clear.

"Today, none of you present can escape this place..."

As the words fell, he didn’t speak further and rushed forth, sword in hand.

Those before him were different from those who acted earlier; they had always worked in regular establishments, with little experience in slaughter and battle.

Though they were rigorously trained and sworn to absolute loyalty to the Mirror of Sin.

Their lack of combat experience made Chu Qing’s task like slaughtering chickens and ducks.

In just a moment, corpses littered the ground, the blood formed a river.

Seeing this, the sub-branch leader’s sinister face slightly lowered, and with a flicker, he vanished like a ghost.

Being the sub-branch leader, naturally, he possessed superior Martial Arts.

Though not as formidable as the masters on the Evil Extermination List, just the Ghost Shadow Yin Wind Step alone was beyond comprehension.

Once deployed, he immediately disappeared from before everyone’s eyes.

Zhou Fu’an dared not harbor any luck; he remained not to die but to uncover the truth.

Now thinking he had seen through everything, he leaped onto a regular building.

The rooftop where the red feathered doves were raised, in his haste, he didn’t have time for ink, so he bit his finger and quickly wrote, ’Han San and Sword Ghost conspired to destroy our Mirror of Sin sub-branch,’ rolled it up, and found a red feathered dove agitated in its cage due to smoke and fire.

He took it out, fitted it with a message capsule.

Looking down at the building below...

Just then, he saw the sub-branch leader employing Ghost Shadow Yin Wind Step to move disorderly among the crowd.

In an instant, he approached Chu Qing’s back.

Silently, he aimed a palm directly at Chu Qing’s back.

Buzz!!

A golden Gang Qi suddenly expanded, perfectly intercepting the palm with Chu Qing’s Undying Golden Body.

No matter how the sub-branch leader exerted his Inner Strength, the Undying Golden Body remained still without even a ripple.

Chu Qing, holding his sword in his right hand, killed three more, and with his left hand, reached out and directly grasped the sub-branch leader’s neck:

"With just these petty tricks, you think you can kill me?"

As he spoke, a crisp snap echoed, and he directly twisted the sub-branch leader’s neck.

If he could have learned the Soul-Piercing Finger from Wen Fusheng, there might have been a chance to get some information from this person, but with the current situation, it was cleaner to kill.

Witnessing this, Zhou Fu’an couldn’t care about anything else and quickly flicked his hand, letting the red feathered dove fly. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Wen Fusheng had been following Chu Qing all along, watching the fat red feathered dove take off. Suddenly, she extended a finger and tapped secretly.

In the air, the dove’s body trembled violently, falling down entirely.

Wen Fusheng caught it with one hand.

Zhou Fu’an had felt relieved after releasing the pigeon.

As the Mirror of Sin’s contact person, he was utterly loyal, ready to fight to the death.

He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he feared dying in vain.

He intended to release the pigeon to send a message to the headquarters.

But now, just as he relaxed, his tension returned.

Chu Qing paused for a moment, unable to help glancing at Wen Fusheng.

Her Finger Force was exquisite; the dove, though startled like a bird waking from a nightmare, landed down but wasn’t dead.

After reaching her hands, it began fluttering.

She handed the dove to Chu Qing:

"Can this be eaten?"

Chu Qing chuckled dryly:

"Uh... let me check before you decide."

As the words fell, Chu Qing issued both palms simultaneously.

The roar of a dragon echoed furiously in all directions!

It was a move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Shocking Hundred Miles!!
