Shin Yu's
The Ancient Blood Organization's Main Headquarters

Within a week, Shin Yu focused herself in cultivating. Now, his cultivation base was already at the 4-star Forging Qi level, such achievements were arguably extremely outstanding as they were in a region whose Qi layer was lacking.

Right now, Shin Yu was studying martial arts from Fang Lin. The young man taught one technique that allowed its user to increase his speed, and the name of the technique was Shadow Step.

Shadow Step itself is able to increase the speed of its users by twice, besides that the steps of this technique do not have sound or vibration so that it makes its users difficult to know its existence.

But unfortunately this technique required the consumption of large amounts of Qi, someone at the Forging Qi level was obviously not suitable to use it because it would make them run out of Qi very quickly.

Despite this, Fang Lin still taught Shin Yu the Shadow Step technique. The reason was simple, since the little boy had a Golden Dantian, the amount of energy that the Dantian could store was far more than the Dantian below its level.

After doing the demonstration, Fang Lin asked Shin Yu to make the move he had just made. He already knew Shin Yu's genius in learning martial arts so he had high expectations for the little boy.

Shin Yu immediately made the move demonstrated by Fang Lin, with the focus he demonstrated and in a few experiments he was already able to master the Shadow Step technique. Indeed the ruler was still not at the perfect stage but it was still a proud achievement as Shin Yu had only learned for less than an hour.

Fang Lin who saw that could only hold his breath, Shin Yu was a blessed child. His genius was truly extraordinary, perhaps when compared to the geniuses that existed, Shin Yu was at his peak.

"Young Master, we've got back the mail from the organization." Mun Yong suddenly just appeared behind Fang Lin.

"What's their response?"

"They are very happy with the news that you managed to bring Shin Yu into the organization. However, there is another news that makes you have to quickly return to the main headquarters."

"Hm?"

"The Sacred Fire Dragon Sect began to move to finish off the assassins from our organization. They seem to have learned that we are the mastermind behind the disease that befell their ultimate heir."

"Tsk, how did the information get leaked?" fang Lin's expression turned serious at once annoyed.

"One of our assassins who took part in the mission was caught, he didn't leak it but his memory was forcibly taken over."

"That fool, why didn't he swallow a poison pill that could damage the brain's nerves?!"

"According to the information, he had already done so but one of the Elders of the Sacred Fire Dragon sect blocked his poison so as to make the poison not have time to react."

Fang Lin clucked in annoyance as he massaged his forehead which started to hurt, "So, what did the Chairman decide?"

"The chairman asked all the assassins to immediately return to their respective headquarters. For a while, the Ancient Blood organization would not accept requests from clients and began to shut itself down for the next few years to minimize the deaths of assassins as well as gather combat power."

"Haisss, sucks...." Fang Lin let out a long sigh, his gaze shifted on Shin Yu who was moving around and around using the Shadow Step technique, "It seems like we should move faster, though, it would be risky if it continued to be outside like this while carrying him."

"I understand, Young Master." Mun Yong nodded small.

Fang Lin then told Shin Yu to stop his activity and he began to explain the situation briefly but clearly.

Shin Yu himself instantly understood the situation, the three of them finally agreed to use Shadow Step and leave their carriage. Because Shin Yu's speed was still fairly slow, Fang Lin and Mun Yong would inevitably have to follow the speed limit.

***

In less than two weeks, the three of them finally reached the borders of the Zhang Empire and entered the Neutral territory. The region was quite vast as it had dozens of mountains scattered in various places as well as four forests filled by thousands of spiritual beasts.

The main headquarters of the Ancient Blood organization was located on one of the dozens of mountains that existed, the mountain had the smallest size among others.

In addition, the mountain is named as Mount Siwang which means Mount of Death. There is no specific reason behind the meaning of the name, they just deliberately named it so because Mount Siwang became a gathering place for professional assassins.

After passing through the defensive array guarding Mount Siwang, Fang Lin and the others headed straight for the foot of the mountain. They stopped in front of a giant box-shaped stone, it was not formed naturally but was carved by humans.

Fang Lin took a few steps closer to the gigantic stone, he touched the stone with his right palm and black energy shot out from it.

Not long after, ancient circles began to appear under their feet. Shin Yu who saw him could only be silent, in the next second his gaze became blurred and when his vision started to return to normal, he was already in a different place.

They were moved to a passageway where there were only fire torches along the way.

The three of them started moving towards the end of the hall. After five minutes, Shin Yu finally found a bright light at the end of the hallway and as he passed by, he could see a huge, extremely luxurious hall with dozens of glowing crystals that served as a lighting light.

There were quite a number of people, most of them wearing all-black clothes with face coverings that hid their identity.

Shin Yu looked around and realized that almost everyone there was walking without making a single step.

"So this is the main headquarters of an assassin organization?" Shin Yu said inwardly, this was a little beyond her shadow because she had previously thought that this place would be desolate and also gloomy.

"The number of assassins gathered here is at least close to touching the number one thousand, most of them are professionals and the rest are ordinary workers who take care of this place" said Mun Yong, tell me something else along the way.

Shin Yu listened to Mun Yong's words in silence, he could tell that everyone in this place was a cultivator, even including those referred to as 'ordinary workers'.

They passed through the hall and into the other hallway. The passageway they entered was not as dark as before, the illumination there was a crystal of light.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the main door made of teak wood. In front of the door were two guards, their clothes were all black but there was no cloth cover on the faces of the two.

"Young Master..."

The two guards immediately cupped his hands and saluted respectfully, then one of them opened the door as wide as possible and revealed a very spacious room.

Fang Lin and Shin Yu entered the room while Mun Yong waited outside because his status was only a subordinate.

After they entered and the door closed tightly, they both turned their eyes to a slightly higher place and saw a long table where nine people were sitting behind it.

The nine people looked at Shin Yu with sharp gazes, and at the same time the atmosphere turned cold and tense.
