The Man Seeking the Dark Veil Map
Xue Jiang stepped from his residence while servants lit the remaining lanterns around the courtyard. He wore the robes of a wealthy noble rather than the clothing of an assassin leader, and his first expression carried open arrogance.“What lunatic dares enter Full Moon Fortress without permission?” he asked. “Have you grown tired of living?”The lantern light revealed the intruder more clearly. Xue Jiang saw foreign facial features, golden hair, unusual clothing, and a curved sword unlike the weapons commonly forged on Yin Continent.More troubling was the life aura beneath the man’s appearance. His face suggested an age between forty and fifty, yet the pressure around him carried the weight of someone who had lived far longer.Xue Jiang’s anger became caution. His voice changed before the surrounding assassins could understand why.“Hon
Five Full Moon Assassins
Mei Gui moved through the bamboo forest with Guo Jiang following no more than two meters behind. The moon had already vanished behind thick clouds, and the air before dawn carried a cold dampness that clung to the leaves.She used the Grass Gliding movement skill to cross uneven ground without disturbing the fallen bamboo. At first, she hoped speed might open a gap, but each time she looked back, Guo Jiang remained at the same distance.The Full Moon Organization divided its killers into three formal ranks. Dead Moon stood at the bottom, Crescent occupied the middle, and Full Moon marked the highest level an assassin could reach beneath the organization’s leader.Even Dead Moon assassins were not ordinary killers. Many had already taken hundreds of lives before receiving their rank, and some had survived enough missions to become feared across several cities.The Full Moon Organization had only
The Assassin Who Stole Thunder
Mei Gui searched Guo Jiang’s clothing while watching his face for the slightest sign of movement. She had already changed into fitted black trousers and a close-sleeved coat better suited to escape than entertainment.Her hands moved through his sleeves, belt, and inner coat. She checked every accessible pocket and examined the items she could reach without disturbing the seals on his spatial ring.Nothing she touched matched the object described in her mission. Her relief faded.Some high-level cultivators could resist poison or neutralize it after appearing dead.Mei Gui pressed two fingers beneath Guo Jiang’s jaw. She found no pulse, but that did not calm her.“Where did you hide it?” she whispered.She searched again, this time beneath the inner coat. Her hand finally touched a long object concealed along his side.
Poison Beneath the Dance
The private-room door closed behind Guo Jiang and Mei Gui, shutting out the music and laughter from the lower floors. The chamber was spacious and warm.Yellow chrysanthemums rested inside painted ceramic vases near the walls. Lavender incense drifted from a bronze burner, while soft lamps and a fireplace gave the room a calm, luxurious glow.A bed covered in pink fabric stood behind a carved screen. The furnishings created comfort and privacy.Mei Gui took one slow breath and recovered the professional composure she had nearly lost after failing to measure Guo Jiang’s cultivation. She reminded herself that fear would only make her movements clumsy.The women of Yellow Chrysanthemum Pavilion were trained in more than pleasing conversation. They learned music, singing, dancing, seduction, and the art of making a guest feel powerful enough to become careless.Mei Gui began wi
The Woman at Yellow Chrysanthemum Pavilion
Night changed the face of Shanqi City. Colorful lanterns hung across the streets, music drifted from entertainment houses, and crowds filled districts that had looked threatening during the day.The city’s assassin culture did not disappear after sunset. Armed men still watched one another from beneath dark hoods, yet the bright shops and noisy taverns made the City of a Thousand Ghosts resemble a place of pleasure rather than fear.Guo Jiang walked through the crowd in his new black clothing. The bamboo hat and thin silk veil concealed his face, while the practical outfit allowed him to pass without attracting the laughter that followed his refined robes.Yellow Chrysanthemum Pavilion stood on one of the busiest roads. The four-story building was covered in warm lantern light, and its broad entrance remained open despite the freezing wind.Around twenty women waited near the steps. Their silk
The Unwritten Rule of Shanqi City
Guo Jiang’s fingers remained against Ye Su’s throat. The shop owner had lowered his dagger, but fear still held his body rigid.“You have one chance to give me a reasonable explanation,” Guo Jiang said. “Do not waste it.”Ye Su nodded quickly. “Sir, you truly are new to Shanqi City, are you not?”Guo Jiang pressed slightly harder. A dark bruise formed beneath his fingertips, and Ye Su’s breath became strained.“I asked for an explanation, not another question.”“Yes, sir.” Ye Su forced the words out carefully. “Shanqi City is filled with assassins, bounty hunters, martial artists, and people hiding from enemies. No one trusts an unfamiliar face.”He explained that suspicious newcomers could be challenged by anyone. A shopkeeper might test a customer, a guild recruiter mi
