Chapter 1077 Dealing with the Silent Rippers


    "Oh, I should''ve questioned him before killing him. Whatever. More of them wille sooner orter anyway." Yuan realized this after killing Assassin Mao.


    "Y-Young Lady! We must evacuate from this ce as soon as possible before the Silent Rippers raid this ce!" The olddy eximed in a panicked manner after she snapped out of her daze.


    "Evacuate? Leave where? Where can we go? If we''re being targeted by the Silent Rippers, there is nowhere in this world we can hide!" Tian Yanyu said with a frown.


    "But we have to try! Not only did we offend the Lin Family, but we''re now targeted by the Silent Rippers! This is literally the worst-case scenario!"


    Tian Xianzu showed up shortly after with a profound frown on his face.


    "What is thismotion?" He asked them, unaware of the situation.


    Tian Yanyu pointed at the corpse in their courtyard and exined the situation to him.


    "What?! The Silent Rippers?! Those Lin Family bastards actually went as far as to hire the most notorious assassins in the whole Third Heaven?! Are they insane?!"


    "Master, I think we should evacuate this ce as soon as possible." The olddy said.


    Tian Xianzxu sighed, "Even if we run away and hide in the sewers, the Silent Rippers will eventually find us."


    "Calm down, all of you." Yuan finally spoke, and he said, " The best course of action right now is to stay here, where I can protect all of you."


    "How delusional!" The olddy suddenly shouted.


    "You don''t even know anything about the Silent Rippers nor how terrifying they can be! The Silent Rippers may only be a small group of assassins, but they are the best of the best within the Third Heaven, and they even have several peak Spirit Kings amongst their ranks! Do you really think you can protect us from the Silent Ripper by yourself?! There should be a limit to your arrogance!"


    "O-Old Zou, please calm down…" Tian Yanyu said to her, who was breathing heavily and filled with anger.


    "She is right, Yuan. Even the Seven Legacy Families cannot handle the Silent Rippers alone, much less a single person." Tian Xianzu shook his head in a dispirited manner, seemingly already given up.


    Yuan smiled and said, "Who said that I will be alone?"


    "You guys,e out."


    The very next moment, three figures appeared beside Yuan, startling the Tian Family.


    "Let me introduce you guys to mypanions. This is Xiao Hua, whom you''ve already met. Don''t be fooled by her young appearance because she''s actually a Spirit King." Yuan pointed at Xiao Hua.


    "This is Feng Yuxiang, who is also a peak Spirit King."


    "This is Lan Yingying. She may only be a Spirit Lord, but she can handle Spirit Kings by herself."


    "E-Even if you have three more people, that won''t change anything…" Old Zou said.


    Yuan chuckled, "Don''t underestimate my friends, and don''tpare them to your average cultivators, because they are not human."


    "W-What do you mean by that?" Tian Xianzu swallowed nervously.


    "They are Divine Beasts. Feng Yuxiang is a phoenix, and Lan Yingying is a divine serpent."


    "They''re what?!" The Tian Family couldn''t believe their ears.


    Divine Beasts are akin to divine entities in their eyes, and there were two of them before them right this moment.


    "Anyways, no matter if they are the Silent Rippers or the Lin Family. With them here, nobody will be able to harm you guys." Yuan reassured them.


    The Tian Family eventually calmed down and decided to trust him.


    Meanwhile, the Silent Rippers had another meeting with each other throughmunication jade slips.


    "Brother Mao''s life slip just broke. He''s dead." A solemn voice spoke.


    "How is this possible?! Brother Mao is a 5th level Spirit King! His target is only around 20 years old, right?! There''s no way Brother Mao could lose to someone like that!"


    "Perhaps the target has a powerful bodyguard beside him." Another said.


    "That is likely what happened. Let''s gather and avenge Brother Mao."


    "Yes!"


    A few dayster.


    "Steward Lin! What the fuck is going on?! Why is that bastard Xiao Yang still alive?! He was even spotted eating merrily at the Heavenly Restaurant today!" Lin Minghai demanded an answer after hearing about this news.


    "Please be patient, Young Master. I have already hired the Silent Rippers to take care of Xiao Yang. It will only be a matter of time." Steward Jin said.


    However, hismunication jade slip trembled a momentter, and this jade slip was used tomunicate with Ming Lao, who was supposed to contact him if the Silent Rippers contacted.


    "What happened?" Steward Jin asked.


    "T-The Silent Ripper is asking for your presence! Pleasee to the Yellow River Pavilion as soon as possible, Senior Jin!"


    "I understand. Tell them that I will be there within 15 minutes."


    Steward Jin then said to Lin Minghai, "The Silent Ripper has made contact with us. I will go speak with them now."


    Sometimeter, he arrived at the Yellow River Restaurant.


    After finding his friend Ming Lao, he also noticed a skinny man sitting at the same table.


    This skinny man exuded no presence and appeared to be a mortal, but Steward Jin immediately knew the man''s identity.


    "Greetings, Senior." Steward Jin bowed to this skinny man.


    "Take a seat." The skinny man spoke in an authoritative voice.


    Once he was seated, Steward Jin asked, "How may I address this senior?"


    "You can just call me Kong."


    "I understand, Senior Kong."


    Assassin Kong then spoke, "Now then, I called you here to verify some things."


    "This Xiao Yang… Is he being guarded by an expert?"


    "As far as I am aware, he''s not." Steward Jin shook his head.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "He''s not?"


    "He''s not. ording to my investigation, there is only a little girl by his side. Unless that little girl is actually an expert in disguise, I don''t think he has any other bodyguard."


    "A little girl, huh." Assassin Kong began pondering in silence.
