The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1096 - Chapter 1096 Chapter 1095 The Movements of the Hidden Kill

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: The Movements of the Hidden Kill Hall Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: The Movements of the Hidden Kill Hall “Your Face Changing Skill is indeed very ingenious,” the man in the black iron mask said, his voice slightly hoarse.

“Gu Hanshan, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the people of Hidden Kill Hall for leaking their information to me?” the man in grey spoke. It was precisely Fang Lin, who, having altered his appearance, single-handedly destroyed a branch of Hidden Kill Hall in the City of Chiyang.

And regarding the specific news about the branch in the City of Chiyang, Fang Lin would have been utterly unaware if it hadn’t been for inside help.

The one who leaked the information was Gu Hanshan.

Gu Hanshan let out a cold laugh, “So what if they find out? If Hidden Kill Hall isn’t eradicated, you and I are bound to die one day.”

Fang Lin frowned and looked around, “You, this guy, didn’t set a trap to harm me, did you? Purposely revealing the location of a branch so I would trust you, only to deceive me into coming here and set an ambush to kill me?”

Gu Hanshan said, “Indeed, I had such thoughts before, but it’s a pity that I didn’t act on them. Perhaps the next time you come to meet me, you should be more careful.”

Fang Lin smiled, “I’ve also said that when Hidden Kill Hall is finally destroyed, you can come find me for revenge, and I’ll give you a chance for a fair fight.”

Gu Hanshan looked deeply at Fang Lin but was unable to see through him at all. The person before him appeared very ordinary, yet he had an unfathomable aura.

Moreover, Gu Hanshan was somewhat surprised deep down. He had revealed to Fang Lin the information about the branch in the City of Chiyang, thinking Fang Lin would mobilize the power of the Pill Alliance before taking action.

However, to his surprise, Fang Lin went alone and in a single night, eradicated the Hidden Kill Hall branch in the City of Chiyang.

Such strength genuinely surprised Gu Hanshan. If it had been him, it was completely unachievable. Those A Assassins each possessed the strength of the Spirit Bone realm, not easy foes to deal with.

Gu Hanshan was very clear that the gap between him and Fang Lin was growing wider. In the past few encounters, he might have had the ability to fight Fang Lin.

But now, in front of Fang Lin, he feared he wouldn’t last more than a few moves before being defeated.

“By the way, the last time in Chaos Demon Valley, I encountered the Fire King and nearly lost my life. What’s become of him now?” Fang Lin asked.

Previously in Chaos Demon Valley, Fang Lin was captured by the Fire King, then entered the mountain summit where the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was being suppressed. Later, Fang Lin was taken away by an incarnation of his father, Fang Qingye, and since then, the whereabouts of the Fire King remained unknown.

Gu Hanshan said, “The Fire King has already returned to Hidden Kill Hall.”

Fang Lin then asked, “Has Hidden Kill Hall had any significant actions recently?”

Gu Hanshan hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Lord Lei is overseeing an operation to assassinate a group of Pill Refiners from the Alchemy Tao families.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin showed a look of surprise, but then he laughed, “Seems like it has nothing to do with me. There are plenty of people in the Alchemy Tao families who hate me to the bone. If they are killed, so be it.”

But Gu Hanshan shook his head and said, “That’s only the initial action. Taking this opportunity, Hidden Kill Hall will intensify their infiltration into the Pill Alliance, and by then, you should know what the situation will be like.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin could no longer smile at all.

Hidden Kill Hall’s move was indeed somewhat formidable, having killed a batch of Pill Refiners from the Alchemy Tao families. Consequently, some positions within the Pill Alliance would inevitably become vacant. With the operation of Hidden Kill Hall and the assistance of their undercover agents inside the Pill Alliance, placing their people was certainly not a difficult task.

Once the Pill Alliance fell under the control of Hidden Kill Hall, it would truly be a major issue.

Fortunately, Fang Lin, as a disciple of Elder Tiankui, knew many things that others did not. Although the Pill Alliance was not a united entity and power was fragmented, it was ultimately a colossal force. To infiltrate and take control of such a behemoth was not something that could be accomplished with ease.

The Eight Great Elders were no ordinary individuals. They had long held a grip on most of the undercover agents of Hidden Kill Hall within the Pill Alliance, and removing them would be but a simple lift of their hands.

Should these undercover agents make any moves, the Eight Great Elders would certainly understand that Hidden Kill Hall was attempting to insert their people into the Pill Alliance.

“Additionally, there’s one more thing. The Fire King will send people to kill you, but with your current strength, there are few among the A Assassins who can be your match,” Gu Hanshan said.

Fang Lin nodded his head. It was not a surprise that the Fire King would send someone to kill him since he had been on Hidden Kill Hall’s hit list for a long time without them succeeding. Hidden Kill Hall would definitely assign even stronger assassins to eliminate him.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way,” Fang Lin said, and turned to leave.

A complex look flashed in Gu Hanshan’s eyes. He wanted to say something more, but ultimately he kept silent, not telling Fang Lin everything he knew.

What Gu Hanshan wanted to tell Fang Lin was that the assassin the Fire King was going to send next was out of the ordinary, being the most secretive and elite of Hidden Kill Hall, personally trained by the four kings of assassins, each possessing the ability to slay the top talents of the Nine Countries, more powerful than the A Assassins.

Gu Hanshan ultimately harbored resentment towards Fang Lin, so he did not share this intelligence with him, but he felt very conflicted and complex inside.

*****

The fourth stage of the Nine Countries Talent Battle was indefinitely postponed with no concrete news. Fang Lin had inquired about it with Elder Tiankui, who seemed to be facing some troubles recently, which might delay the commencement of the Talent Battle for some time.

With this, Fang Lin was happy to enjoy some leisure time. After leaving Ancient Demon Ridge, he was wandering from place to place, rooting out the various branches of Hidden Kill Hall based on the intelligence from Gu Hanshan.

Over time, many in the Nine Countries knew that there was a mysterious expert opposing Hidden Kill Hall, wiping out many of their branches.

Everyone was curious as to who this mysterious strong person was, having such audacity to openly confront Hidden Kill Hall.

And the fact that Hidden Kill Hall couldn’t handle this mysterious expert raised doubts–had Hidden Kill Hall fallen from grace, no longer as terrifying as before, unable to deal with a single mysterious expert?

Little did they know, Hidden Kill Hall’s operations against this mysterious expert had already quietly begun.

Fall Demon Cliff, a treacherous area located outside the borders of Yun Country, was a place no one dared to venture.

After leaving Yun Country and obliterating several branches of Hidden Kill Hall within the country’s borders, Fang Lin encountered trouble.

From nowhere, four high-level experts from Hidden Kill Hall in purple attire incessantly pursued Fang Lin.

From these four purple-dressed people, Fang Lin sensed an extraordinarily formidable aura, even more profound than that of the A Assassins who had died by his hand before.
