The Story of the Supreme Ruler

Chapter 36: The Masked Killer

Three days had passed, Luo Zheng and his group were currently still on their way to the Qing Long Capital. During Luo Zheng's journey with his group he obtained quite valuable information, about the Imperial Tournament held in Qing Long's Capital in the Colosseum Dragon arena.

With the news of the Tournament already spreading throughout the eastern region, countless cultivators went to the Qing Long Capital in order to obtain the ultimate prize of having the opportunity to enter the dragon pond of the imperial treasure.

Currently Luo Zheng was very happy for having the goal to go to Qing Long Capital, he said, which at that time was only thinking of coming to Qing Long Empire because that place was the center of the eastern region.

And Luo Zheng was also intending to attend the Tournament held by Emperor Qing Feng in the Dragon Colosseum arena, as well, but Luo Zheng felt that something was wrong with the Tournament he thought that the event held by Emperor Qing Feng was only for the bait of the demon flow cultivators and exterminating them en masse.

"Brother Meng! How long do you think it will take us now to get to Qing Long Capital?" Luo Zheng started asking because he was so bored with his trip.

"About with a Tier 4 Monster Beast as a mount, it will take us 1 week to get to the Capital"

Luo Zheng felt that he would die of boredom if he continued on the journey with nothing interesting happening, he hoped that there would be an interesting incident happening to him. After a while hoping for something interesting to happen, his hope was immediately fulfilled.

Luo Zheng and the others became wary from hearing the sound of footsteps from the direction of the bushes, Luo Zheng walked leisurely into the bushes while looking at him sharply feeling alert.

"Khaha! Die!"

A masked assassin came out from his hiding place and moved very quickly with his step skill, immediately Luo Zheng noticed the movements made by the assassin he quickly launched a palm strike at the assassin.

The assassin crashed quite far away due to the quite powerful attack from Luo Zheng's palm, quickly the assassin turned his body to maintain balance. Then hid again to avoid the supervision from Luo Zheng.

"Want to play hide-and-seek ..."

Then Luo Zheng closed both his eyes to sense the presence of the killer using the senses of the listener, as he closed his eyes for a moment he could finally hear the murderous footsteps very clearly everywhere he went Luo Zheng knew about it.

The assassin saw an extremely fatal gap to the cultivator that was the point of life, he quickly swung his sword with Sword Qi enveloping his sword body. Sword Qi swiftly drove towards Luo Zheng's nape.

The moment the assassin felt himself had the upper hand, but instantly his delight shattered as Luo Zheng managed to avoid his Sword Qi so easily. Not wanting to linger any longer Luo Zheng quickly used the skill of his footsteps moving very quickly to the back of the masked killer's body.

Then he hit the nape of the masked assassin to make her faint then interrogated her, before the body of the assassin fell to the ground swiftly Luo Zheng directly dragged her into the horse carriage. After arriving he immediately opened the door and entered into the horse carriage.

"Xiaoyan! Do you know about this masked killer?" Luo Zheng asked Song Xiaoyan his first subordinate.

For three days together, together, Luo Zheng knew that Song Xiaoyan was actually from the Qing Long Empire and that was also why she asked Song Xiaoyan maybe she knew what organization was behind the masked killer. The summoned Song Xiaoyan felt surprised upon seeing the masked killer's body.

"Auto ... Do you recognize him?" Luo Zheng asked back because he felt that Song Xiaoyan knew about the masked killer from her shocked expression.

"That's not what I want to ask!" Luo Zheng was a little annoyed that Song Xiaoyan was trying to divert the conversation.

"If it's about the power that's behind it ..." Song Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at Luo Zheng's eyes hesitantly, "They are from a group of assassins known to the Blood Flower, this organization is very mysterious and deeply rooted in the Qing Long Empire".

Luo Zheng rubbed his chin, thinking why the famous group of assassins in the Qing Long Empire or the Eastern Region were after him. But after thinking back on it he finally recalled the possibility of who hired the assassin that was the Yan Family in Monster Beast City.

"Then do you know why he wears a bronze mask like this, is it possible that if the color silver is higher in rank?" Luo Zheng asked again out of curiosity with the color of the mask that caught his attention enough.

Song Xiaoyan who had no other choice but to answer Luo Zheng's question, she informed him that the colors on the masks in the Blood Flower group showed their own level of strength. The mask itself is divided into four colors namely black, bronze, silver, and gold.

The black masks represented the Body Tempered Stages up to Foundation Estabilishment, they were unranked assassins.

Meanwhile the bronze mask that Luo Zheng was facing was a cultivator who possessed the Divine Sea Stage early to late.

Continuing again with the silver mask that was an assassin with an early to late Soul Core Stages, and the highest known currently called golden mask they were assassins with early to late Divine Soul Core Stages.

"Sister! The killer tried to kill himself!" Shouted Lu Yue abruptly.

Luo Zheng quickly turned his head to the side and saw the assassin waking up, the assassin tried to bite the poison that was inside his mouth if he was in a position to be caught by the enemy. When Luo Zheng tried to make the killer faint again but it was useless because it was too late, the killer had already bitten the poison in his mouth.

Luo Zheng was emotionlessly hitting his leg from feeling so annoyed with his careless self giving the murderer a chance to commit suicide, Luo Zheng felt extremely pity once if only he could kill him.

"Well... If only I hadn't let my guard down... At least I can kill him with my own hands but why is fate playing me!" Luo Zheng said a terrible thing with a sad and regretful face.

"Based on a madman!" Song Xiaoyan thought that her master Luo Zheng was a murderous madman.

Since there was nothing more needed from the masked assassin, Luo Zheng lifted his body and threw it in the street then re-entered it into the horse carriage. After the atmosphere returned to its usual calm state, Meng Yan resumed his journey.

"Empire Tournament... The demon sect... And also the Blood Flower group... hehehe, all of this is very interesting!" Luo Zheng muttered and felt interesting with the situation he was going through in the Qing Long Capital.

"Damn it! Did I serve you wrong? Especially now that teacher is still asleep in my necklace but it has been kept by a madman who suddenly attacked me and threatened me" Song Xiaoyan complained in her mind.
