He was at the peak of the ninth rank in the Mortal Realm, and another breakthrough would allow him to arrive at the First Heaven Realm. If he attained the First Heaven Realm, then his strength would obtain a tremendous qualitative improvement! The First Heaven Realm! How I look forward to attaining it! Tang Ye smiled. Right at this moment, a strand of violet light suddenly erupted from the body of the violet mink that stood on his shoulder, and then it pointed its little claw towards an enormous tree that was over 30m away on the right. This was the signal for danger! Tang Ye’s expression changed, and he didn’t give it any thought before he drew his sword and slashed towards that tree. A strand of sword qi tore through the air, and it instantly struck that tree. Rumbling resounded as the tree exploded into pieces. At the same time, a black figure moved swiftly like a bolt of lightning as it assaulted Tang Ye. Tang Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this black figure, and when the black figure arrived 1.5 away from him, Tang Ye suddenly drew his sword! Clang! The clear and melodious sound of metal colliding resounded in the surroundings! The sword in the black figure’s hand was only half an inch away from Tang Ye’s throat, whereas, Tang Ye’s sword had already pierced the black clothes before him. However, it didn’t penetrate through and had been obstructed by something! The black figure’s expression changed and didn’t hesitate to stomp the group with his/her right foot to leap backward. After that, the black figure vanished from Tang Ye’s field of vision within the time of two breaths. Immediate retreat after failure! Tang Ye sheathed his sword and didn’t give chase. That black figure’s speed far exceeded his own, so he was utterly unable to catch up. But who exactly intends to kill me?That black figure was obviously an assassin, and assassins wouldn’t come for me for no reason. So, there is only one explanation, this assassin was been hired by someone! But I only have a few enemies, and all of them are able to kill me. So, who exactly did it? In next to no time, Tang Ye thought of two people, or to put it in a more precise manner, it was two powers. The Flower Palace and the Sword Sect! Because he’d only come into conflict with these two powers. However, Tang Ye was slightly bewildered. Because logically speaking, with the strength possessed by these two powers, there was utterly no need for them to hire assassins to kill him! But if it wasn’t these two powers, then who could it be? After a long time, Tang Ye suppressed the questions in his heart. He looked at the direction the black figure fled towards, and he said in a low voice, “Unfortunately, I was unable to restrain that assassin with a single strike of the sword. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to guess like this. But this person’s concealment technique is truly extraordinary. I was actually unable to notice anything unusual while that assassin was so close to me. If it wasn’t for the little fellow, if that assassin attacked when I passed by that tree, then I would probably have really lost my life here!” When he thought up to here, Tang Ye turned his head and rubbed it against the little fellow, and then he said, “Thank you. I would have been in danger if it wasn’t for you!” The violet mink blinked its eyes, and then it rubbed Tang Ye’s face with its little head. “If you notice that assassin next time, then don’t emanate a violet glow. Tell me secretly instead. Understand?” said Tang Ye. Earlier, when the little fellow told him that there was danger, he’d instinctively reacted by drawing his sword and slashing without giving it any thought, and it caused him to alarm the assassin in advance. If he didn’t alarm the assassin and attacked after getting close to the assassin, then it would be utterly impossible for the assassin to have fled. Tang Ye was extremely confident in being able to accomplish this, just like how he dared to allow the assassin to get close to him before he drew his sword earlier. Unfortunately, he wanted to leave the assassin alive, so he didn’t utilize his Sword Intent and golden Profound Energy. But he’d never expected that the assassin would actually be wearing an armor! However, he still had a chance. Tang Ye had the feeling that the assassin would come looking for him again! If he didn’t have the little fellow by his side, then the assassin’s ability in concealment would give Tang Ye an extreme headache. However, since he had the little fellow by his side, anything within an area of 60m around him would be noticed by him. With the little fellow by his side, he could convert the situation he was in from being out in the open to be concealed instead, and the assassin would be exposed from the assassin’s hidden state instead! Tang Ye left Death Mountain Range, and he walked towards the depths of the Grand Myriad Mountains. For the sake of drawing that assassin out, Tang Ye didn’t summon the two Nether Wolf Kings, and he just asked the little fellow to stay on his shoulder.
