Before this, Ye Feng had already learned from his mentor, Zheng Xiujing, that he had made it onto the Primordial Temple's genius assassination list.
In fact, Ye Feng had braced himself for this news earlier, but being directly ranked third on the assassination list still gave him a headache.
You should know that his information was kept highly confidential, and he had never once formally made a move.
Under such circumstances, to be directly listed as third meant that the attention on him was a bit too much. Ye Feng even felt that there must be traitors within the Heavenly God Court, leaking some of his information.
Executing tasks under these conditions was bound to be stressful because if the enemy discovered his whereabouts, they would not discuss morality but would directly dispatch a True God Strongman to hunt him down.
That's why Ye Feng had been dragging it out until the end of the year, just to improve his strength as much as possible.
