It was quiet at night. There were many layers of guard around the vast encampment, and at first, each layer was tighter than the one before it. After the density of guards reached a critical point, it actually started to loosen, layer by layer, as one approached the center. And in the very middle area, there were actually some blank patches, which was somewhat surprising.
All the troops in the encampment knew that the Dragon King used to be a killer and that he could detect assassins by merely sniffing the air. So, any protection he had was nominal in nature.
Of course this impression was a slight exaggeration. Gu Shenwei still needed helpers. Actually, he had always felt that he needed more capable men. Old Man Mu and the others had been assigned to Jade City. So, Nie Zeng and Tie Linglong were the only ones available, which made him feel short-handed when assigning tasks.
For a top-notch killer, it would be very easy to sneak past these two juniors.
