Mo Shixing and Mo Shixing were instantly startled.
But after seeing what the people around them were wearing, their surprise turned to joy.
"It turns out to be you!"
Cheng Dong first showed a flattering smile, and then asked cautiously: "I wonder if you will gain anything from this trip?"
"You have too many questions!"
The butcher's knife stood out from the crowd and looked at Mo Shixing coldly with a pair of sharp eyes, "You wanted me to assassinate a man named Ye Chen before, right?"
"Exactly!" Mo Shixing nodded immediately.
"are you talking about me?"
Before Butu Dao spoke this time, a familiar voice came from behind Butu Dao.
Immediately, the butcher knife moved to the side, revealing a very familiar face.
Her eyebrows are like swords, and her facial features are delicate, especially her eyes, which are clear yet so profound that they are elusive.
"Ye Chen?"
Cheng Dong exclaimed on the spot.
Immediately, he hurriedly said with joy: "The butcher's knife is him, this kid, he is the person my senior brother wants you to assassinate!"
Mo Shixing was also surprised at first, but he was not as stupid as Cheng Dong. After looking at the situation around him, he seemed to realize something in an instant and grabbed the extremely excited Cheng Dong.
"Senior brother, why are you pulling me? Although we are senior brothers, pulling and pulling in front of so many people is really..."
"shut up!"
Before Cheng Dong could finish his embarrassing words, he was scolded by Mo Shixing.
"Senior brother, I..."
Only then did Cheng Dong realize that something was wrong, and the words he spoke suddenly stopped.
"Butcher's knife, what do you mean?"
Mo Shixing did not continue to look at Ye Chen, but instead stared at the butcher's knife, and said inwardly: "Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters. Isn't this the code of your Phantom Sect assassins? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
"Yes, we Phantom Gate Assassins do have this rule, but..."
Butu Dao changed the topic and said: "However, you overlooked one thing!"
"Which point?" Mo Shixing asked subconsciously.
Butu Dao didn't answer this time. Cheng Dong next to him seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.
Especially when he looked at Ye Chen, his surprise changed from surprise to horror.
"Senior Brother Mo, the rule you just mentioned is only the Phantom Sect's external rule, but internally, this rule is invalid!" Cheng Dong lowered his voice and explained.
"What do you mean?" Mo Shixing still didn't quite understand.
"Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others is indeed the code of conduct of Phantom Gate assassins! However, it must be based on the person the employer wants to assassinate, not someone inside the Phantom Gate, or someone extremely close to the Phantom Gate!"
"You mean, this Ye Chen..."
Mo Shixing finally understood, but when he looked at Ye Chen again, his eyes began to change.
Just looking at the butcher's knife, he still said without anger: "Even if the person I want to assassinate has a close relationship with your Phantom Sect, since you have refused the assassination mission, should you return my Blood Spirit Grass to me?
?”
Blood Spirit Grass, but he found it after a lot of hard work!
Since the butcher's knife cannot completely kill the target, it is natural to get the blood spirit grass back.
However, it was a good thing that he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Butu Dao couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, you still have the nerve to mention that Blood Spirit Grass?"
In addition to Butcher's Sword, Nangong Liuli, Xue Wuhen, and the surrounding assassins also couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Being stared at by so many people who looked at him like a fool, Mo Shixing suddenly became very angry.
It would be fine if he knew the reason, but he was still kept in the dark.
This feeling, like being treated like a monkey, made him extremely frustrated.
"So that Blood Spirit Grass belongs to you?"
Before Butcher said anything, Ye Chen stood up and reached out to touch the space bracelet!
"Buzz!"
A dim light appeared, and something appeared in his hand out of thin air.
It was the blood spirit grass that Butcher gave him before!
"Why is it in your hands?"
Mo Shixing was shocked.
This blood spirit grass was the "commission" he paid to the butcher's knife.
Butcher's knife was a bad one. Instead of killing Ye Chen as agreed, he instead gave the "commission" he had paid in advance to the person he wanted to assassinate.
A typical example of stealing chicken but losing rice!
Is there anything more shocking than this?
No matter how depressed he was, the hoarse voice of the butcher's knife came over at the right time.
"If the target of the employer's assassination is a member of our sect, or someone extremely important to our sect, we will not only not refund the commission paid by the employer in advance, but we can also kill the employer!"
As he said that, the butcher's knife moved towards Mo Shixing and the two of them step by step.
"Butcher's knife, if you have something to say, please tell me!"
Cheng Dong also panicked and begged: "At least let's get to know each other, you won't really want to kill..."
"Bang!"
What responded to him was the metallic vibrating sound of a sharp blade being drawn out of its sheath.
Butcher's knife pulled out a broad and heavy sword, with a murderous look in his eyes. With the blessing of spiritual power, the blade continued to burst out with sharp auras.
"Ye Chen, misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding..."
Seeking the butcher's knife was useless, Cheng Dong had no choice but to turn his attention to Ye Chen.
If the butcher's knife wanted to kill them, with their cultivation level, they would have no power to resist at all.
Therefore, the only one who can save them now may be Ye Chen.
"etc!"
Sure enough, Ye Chen didn't know whether he was moved by his "sincerity" or had ulterior motives, but he actually shouted at the butcher's knife.
"Master Ye, they wanted to kill you before, do you really want to let them go?" Butu Dao asked in surprise.
"I have always been compassionate. As long as I have the heart to repent, I usually won't care too much about it!"
Hearing this, Mo Shixing was a little shocked.
Especially Cheng Dong couldn't believe his ears.
He had just begged, but it was just a desperate struggle. He had no hope at all.
After all, they wanted to put Ye Chen to death first. Now that the situation has reversed, no matter how generous Ye Chen is, he cannot easily get past him.
"Master Ye, are you sure you want to let them go?"
Xue Wuhen said in a deep voice: "They want to kill you. If you let them go, maybe they will let the tiger return to the mountain!"
Hearing this, Mo Shixing and Cheng Dong became even more panicked.
"No, we absolutely won't!"
"As long as you let us go, we will definitely change our minds and be a new person in the future!"
The two of them hurriedly made their vows.
But Xue Wuhen turned a deaf ear and just stared at Ye Chen without blinking.
It can be said that the life and death of Mo Shixing and Cheng Dong depended only on Ye Chen's thoughts.
It was only at this moment that Cheng Dong and Mo Shixing gradually realized how extraordinary Ye Chen was.
That absolutely beautiful woman must be Xue Wuhen, the contemporary saint of the Phantom Sect.
However, a woman with such a mysterious origin and respected status actually wanted to ask Ye Chen for his opinion to decide their life or death. This shows how unfathomable Ye Chen is!
"I said, I have always been compassionate..."
A sly smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips, and he solemnly reiterated: "Of course, the main thing is to see if they are sincere enough!"
