low-key is king

Chapter 148 is not installed!
Watanabe Castle, southwest!

This is a rare hill within Watanabe Castle. At this moment, a group of people are hiding in the dense forest. It seems that through the gaps in the dense forest, they can see the tragic offensive and defensive battle far ahead.

This group of people is naturally Lu Xun and his party who rushed back from Tianyang City, the capital. They hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with the siege battle.

"Lu... Mr. Lu, don't we go help?"

Zhao Qidong, the former Prime Minister of Xuanyang Kingdom, had a worried expression on his face. He thought he had escaped from the capital, but he did not expect that the situation in Watanabe City was even worse than he had imagined.

The dense army outside the south gate and west gate made everyone in the Zhao family feel their scalps go numb.

Under the siege of such a large army, Watanabe City was like chickens and dogs surrounded by wolves. The hearts of many members of the Zhao family sank to the bottom of the valley, and they felt that they had no power to recover.

Because they know that this is a power struggle within the Xuanyang Kingdom. No matter if it is such a major event, whether it is the Wannuo Business Alliance, Tingxinlou, or Yinshahui, they will not take action again.

Even if they knew that Lu Mingyang was a martial artist with perfect five realms, the Yan clan did not have five realm experts. Since they were going to fight this battle to destroy the city, how could they not prepare for anything?
The three directions leading to Watanabe Castle have been blocked by Yan's army. It is impossible for them to cross to support Watanabe Castle.

Zhao Qidong was so anxious that he could only turn to his precious grandson for help. During the previous escape process, Lu Xun had surprised him more than once.

"Helping is naturally necessary, but how to help, you can only play by ear!"

Lu Xun blinked his eyes, and then stroked the black cat in his arms. This is nothing to say, but the people of the Zhao family at this moment undoubtedly have no good way.

"I'll take a look first, you stay here and don't move, wait for my signal before acting!"

Lu Xun didn't say much. Hearing his words, he turned around and left the dense forest, leaving the members of the Zhao family looking at each other, a little at a loss.

"Father, that Mr. Lu must have seen the disparity in strength between the two sides and abandoned us, right?"

Zhao Minglou stared at the direction in which the black-clothed figure was leaving, and couldn't help muttering, but it attracted several sharp glances, which made him instantly know that he had said the wrong thing.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Lu helps us because of love, and not helping us is his duty. Besides, along the way, has he helped us very little?"

Zhao Bicheng, the boss of the Zhao family, scolded him, making Zhao Minglou's face blush a little. Thinking about the several adventures along the way, he realized that the Zhao family already owed him so many favors.

"Minglou, if you dare to say such a thing again, get the hell out of here and go back to Tianyang City!"

If Zhao Qidong is the one who knows Lu Xun best, he is furious at the moment, how could his precious little grandson abandon him, he must have his own plan.

"Father, I was wrong!"

Being reprimanded by his father and elder brother one after another, especially when his father's tone was so severe, Zhao Minglou could only give in.

It's just that he still has a little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart. Under the current situation, is that Mr. Lu who doesn't know his name really capable of turning the tide?

…………

Lu Xun, who had gone far away, naturally did not hear the conversation between the father and son. At this moment, he had put down the big monster in his hand, took out a hideous mask from the mustard bracelet and put it on his face.

Killer judge, appear again!

"Follow me all the way, come out!"

After doing these actions, Lu Xun suddenly turned his head, looked at an empty place, and then gave a light drink, the senior in his body had already sensed a certain breath.

"Hehe, I always thought that I thought highly of you, but I didn't expect to underestimate you!"

A moment later, in the quiet dense forest, there was a sudden chuckle, and immediately after Lu Xun's gaze, there was a figure also dressed in black.

The figure in black on the opposite side looked a little slender, and there was also a mask on his face, but it looked more delicate than Lu Xun's judge mask.

It was a silver fox mask!
Killer Silver Fox!
"You really are him!"

The eyes under the silver fox mask glanced at the black cat squatting lazily aside, and now she finally has no doubts.

Moreover, the judge on the opposite side seemed to have no intention of concealing his identity.

"Miss Xiao really has good eyesight!"

At this time, Lu Xun didn't try to keep it to himself, but after saying this, Silver Fox couldn't help curling his lips, secretly thinking that there was a big black cat squatting there, is it still a guess?
"You hide your strength?"

Xiao Ziliang naturally knew that the other party had seen through her details long ago, but she always had a doubt in her heart, so she asked directly.

That day in Zhendong Palace, Xiao Ziliang clearly sensed Lu Xun's cultivation level, which was at the level of three realms, but why could the other party become a five-star killer of the Hidden Killing Society?

"These are not important, are they?"

"important!"

Lu Xun smiled slightly, but when the words that seemed to be a joke fell from his mouth, Xiao Ziliang did not avoid the topic, and emphasized in a deep voice.

Assassin rank has a completely different meaning to her and Lu Xun.

Because not only in Watanabe City, but even in the entire Xuanyang Kingdom, there are not many five-star killers.

The six-star killer last time was urgently transferred from the Daxuan Dynasty by the Hidden Killing Association, and the other party had to accept the task voluntarily. Unexpectedly, he was planted in a small Watanabe City.

"Okay, stop pretending, I have a showdown, in fact, I am not only a five-star killer, but... a ten-star killer!"

Seeing that Xiao Ziliang didn't seem to want to give up, Lu Xun suddenly felt narrow-minded.

And he had a vague feeling that the young lady of the Xiao family in front seemed to have some special identity in Hidden Killing.

Lu Xun is quite afraid of the mysterious organization of Hidden Assassination Society.

So he wondered in his heart, could he use Xiao Ziliang's mouth to make those high-level members of the Hidden Killing Society not dare to trouble him again, at least not for a short time.

"You? Ten Star Killer?"

Sure enough, after Lu Xun finished these few words, Xiao Ziliang couldn't help but sneered, his face full of disbelief.

As an important figure in the Hidden Assassin Society, she naturally knew exactly what the ten-star killer meant.

The killer star rating of the Hidden Killing Society corresponds to the cultivation level of Qingxuan Tianxia.

Generally speaking, in order to become a ten-star killer of the Hidden Assassination Society, one must successfully complete an assassination mission against a ten-level martial artist or a ten-level monk.

Reaching the highest level of the middle five realms, the martial artist is at the end of his cultivation, and the monks of the tenth realm, the Nascent Soul Realm, are not so easy to kill even if they are caught by surprise.

Therefore, almost every ten-star assassin in the Hidden Killing Society is a super strong man who has reached the tenth realm.

No matter how much Xiao Ziliang thought highly of the second son of the palace, he would not believe that the other party could be a ten-star killer.

"Ok?"

However, just as Xiao Ziliang sneered, her eyes under the mask instantly widened.

Because she clearly saw that there was a small black sword in the right hand of the black-clothed judge on the opposite side.

Xiao Ziliang, who is a Hidden Assassin's Killer, is naturally no stranger to this small black sword. He knows that it is the token of the Hidden Assassin's Killer, and it is also the proof of accepting the assassin's mission.

What surprised Xiao Ziliang was not the little black sword itself, but her sharp eyes, who saw a row of black star marks on the blade of the little black sword.

"One, two, three, ..., eight, nine, ten, hiss..."

Under the mask, the beautiful Xiao Ziliang stared wide. She didn't pay attention to the judge's playful eyes at this time. She muttered in her mouth. When she counted to the number ten, she couldn't help but gasped.

Xiao Ziliang didn't doubt that the little black sword was fake, because the token of the Hidden Killer was cast with a special material, and there was a special induction between them.

For these sensations, peripheral killers like Lu Xun who only accept reward missions naturally cannot feel it.

But an insider like Xiao Ziliang of the Hidden Assassination Society could sense it clearly at the first time.

Therefore, Xiao Ziliang knew that it would not be fake the first time Lu Xun took out the killer's token.

But since it is not a fake, what are the ten black star marks on it?
This simply blinded Xiao Ziliang's eyes!
"Is it really a ten-star killer? This...how is this possible?"

Miss Xiao, who has always been calm, did not know how many times she was surprised by Lu Xun, and even the attack by the big monster in the Zhendong Palace was not as shocking as the current incident.

"No, he can't be a master of martial arts in the Divine Artistic Realm, nor can he be a great monk in the Nascent Soul Realm, but the token of the ten-star killer can't be fake either. What's going on here?"

Xiao Ziliang felt that her brain was in a mess. She only felt that this matter was extremely contradictory. If Lu Xun was a real ten-star killer, why should he hide like this?
"Hehe, I'm just kidding. With my cultivation level, I can't be a real ten-star killer. Do you understand me?"

Lu Xun was very satisfied with Xiao Ziliang's reaction. Even if he couldn't see the expression behind the silver fox mask, he could still guess how shocked this Miss Xiao was.

"call……"

Hearing Lu Xun speak again, Xiao Ziliang finally let out a long breath.

If it was this explanation, it would make sense, and it could be regarded as solving one of her biggest doubts.

Since this does not belong to Lu Xun's own token, it may have been given to him by someone else. Anyone can have the killer's token of the Hidden Killing Society, provided you have the strength.

Obviously, the token of the ten-star killer in Lu Xun's hand was not earned by himself from doing missions.

In this way, behind the second son of the palace, there may be one or even several unknown big shots standing behind him.
