nA few days ago, it was a rare starry night.

nIn the wilderness far from Great Yan City, there was a bonfire.

n“So many days have passed. Why hasn’t there been any activity in Great Yan City?”

nThe wood of the bonfire crackled as more than ten figures stood around.

nThe middle-aged man in the lead wore a black robe and sat beside the bonfire. In his hand was a detailed map of Great Yan City. Although his clothes were no different from the surrounding people, he had clearly been in a high position for a long time. Every move he made emitted a dignified aura.

n“Great Yan City is ahead. All along the way, for the sake of not leaving any traces, we’ve really wasted a lot of effort.”

nEveryone nodded.

nAfter looking at the map for a while, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked, “How’s the situation with that woman from the Lin family? The bronze rust should have already acted up, right?”

n“Er, this… Family Head, in fact, the bronze rust curse has yet to activate…”

n

n

n“It hasn’t acted up?” The middle-aged man was stunned.

nThen, he waved his hand casually, “Hmph, it’s fine. Just let her live a little longer. The bronze rust was found by my son, Wang Tengfei, in an ancient mystic realm. There’s no cure between heaven and earth. After it acts up, no one can last for a few days.”

n“You are all the most elite assassins of the Wang family. You should know how important this mission is!”

n“As long as we wait for the bronze rust to act, we will take action and assassinate the Lin family’s Saint Child!”

n“This operation can only succeed. We will not accept failure!”

nThe middle-aged man’s eyes flickered with sharpness. This man was none other than the head of the Wang family of Su County! He was also the father of the future emperor Wang Tengfei, Wang Gankun!

nEver since the Lin family’s genius appeared, it had been four to five days since the Wang family’s ancestor ordered him to assassinate him.

nFrom the fact that Wang Gankun personally led the strongest assassins of the Wang family to kill the prodigy of the Lin family, it could be seen that the Wang family valued this matter very much!

nFour or five days ago, Wang Gankun had already led the top assassins of the Wang family on this journey. On the way, without leaving any traces, they finally arrived near Great Yan City! Moreover, they had always been hiding here, waiting for the time to assassinate!

nFor this assassination, Wang Gankun could be said to have made ample preparations! They rehearsed all kinds of scenes, all kinds of possible accidents, and made all kinds of countermeasures. After finding the prodigy, how would they kill him, how would they infiltrate the Lin family, and so on.

nThere were all kinds of things that he had to pay attention to. There were more than ten rehearsals before coming!

nIn order to infiltrate and not be discovered, he even let all the assassins memorize the map of Great Yan City! Moreover, these Wang Family assassins were all experienced and had abundant assassination skills. The lowest cultivation realm of each of them was at the Circulation Sea Realm, and there were even several Purple Prefecture Realm experts! Everything was prepared, and they only lacked the crucial element!

nA cold light flickered in Wang Gankun’s eyes as he looked into the distance. His killing intent boiled! It was about to happen in the next few days! As long as the bronze rust acted up, they would infiltrate the Lin family and find the young prodigy of the Lin family to kill him in one strike!

nHowever, as time passed, there did not seem to be much movement in Great Yan City.

nIn the beginning, Wang Gankun was calm and collected. After all, the Lin family was also a large family. Against the bronze rust, there might be a way to delay it.

nHowever, as he waited, Wang Gankun began to feel puzzled.

nWasn’t the Lin family a little too calm? What was the bronze rust doing? Why had it not acted up yet! Logically speaking, it should have acted up long ago! What was going on? What happened? Something was not right…

nOne had to know that Xuan Yu was the previous generation’s genius of the Xuan family! If she really died like this, how could they be so calm?

nAt this moment, it was not only Wang Gankun, even the other assassins beside him were slightly puzzled.

nAn assassin asked, “Family Head, should we send people to Great Yan City to scout?”

nWang Gankun hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Go ahead, but be careful!”

n“Yes!”

nThe Wang family’s assassin was still very efficient at this moment. In just half a day, he obtained information.

nWang Gankun asked in a low voice, “What exactly happened to the Lin family? Why hasn’t the bronze rust acted up?!”

n

n

nThe scout trembled, his expression ugly.

nHe did not know how to speak, but in the end, he forced himself to speak.

n“There’s a ripple that spread throughout the entire Great Yan City three days ago.”

n“Many people saw that scene. It seemed to be some chains or laws. I didn’t quite understand it.”

n“From then on, the Lin family stopped searching for the antidote…”

n“It seems that the bronze rust was removed three days ago…”

nWhen Wang Gankun heard this, his eyes gradually widened. Three days ago? Damn it, wasn’t that when he came? The bronze rust was removed at that time? Did you mean that he had waited here for three days in vain??

nWang Gankun’s expression was gloomy as he slowly raised his head and looked at the distant Great Yan City, and his tone was icy cold, “Then there’s no need to wait. We’ll directly carry out the assassination!”

n…

nHowever, when Wang Gankun and the others carefully infiltrated Great Yan City, they discovered something extremely strange!
