Chapter 212

The Huoyuan Empire, bordering the Star Empire to the south, has never had a good relationship with its neighbor. There have always been frequent wars, both large and small. Bu Lige's father, Hou Bu Cangyun, is the commander-in-chief of the Star Empire's forces against the Huoyuan Empire.

"Now that the killer has been dealt with by Sister Ziyan, the assassination mission has failed," Bu Lige stretched out, his words filled with relief. "I don't have to worry about it anymore."

The Shadow Kill List has its own rules. Every assassination mission is carried out by a single killer. There are only two possible outcomes: mission failure or mission success. If the assassination fails, the task is immediately nullified!

"We really owe this to the boss and Sister Ziyan..." Bu Shiyi also sighed in relief. When the man in black appeared earlier, she had felt lingering fear.

Through the rain curtain, a warm light shone from the Origin Mall.

Bu Shiyi smiled.

On this rainy night, the two returned to Zhennan Hou Mansion.

Despite the rain, the crowd at the gate of Jiuyao City kept coming and going. But as it was getting late, pedestrians hurried along.

Click...

Thunder flickered like a circling dragon. Momentary light illuminated the sky, revealing dark clouds. The dark clouds fluctuated, looking like an endless dark ocean, as if capable of engulfing people.

At this moment, the dark clouds began to boil violently as if something was stirring within them.

"What is happening?"

"There is something in the dark clouds!"

"Are you kidding? With such terrifying thunder, you would need at least the power of the Wendao realm to survive in it!"

"Wow! Something really is emerging..."

Someone noticed the changes in the sky, and loud noises erupted from the crowd.

An eagle's cry sounded.

A huge black shadow tore through the dark clouds, revealing itself!

It was a bird several tens of feet in size, its black feathers reflecting a metallic color. Blue and purple arcs of electricity danced on it, giving it a strange appearance.

A wild and untamed aura swept over, making everyone at the city gate feel breathless.

"That's the Jiuyou Thunder Eagle! An ancient exotic species!"

Someone recognized the bird and cried out in shock.

"I seem to have heard there's a Jiuyou Thunder Eagle in Yaogu, could it be..."

"Wait! Look! There's someone on the back of that monster..."

On the back of the Jiuyou Thunder Eagle, a dozen people stood with their hands folded. Without exception, they were all dressed in white robes and exuded a kind of ethereal aura that ordinary cultivators never possessed.

The leader was an expressionless old man. Despite his white beard, the aura he exuded was terrifying, and ordinary cultivators couldn't fathom his power!

The Jiuyou Thunder Eagle descended slowly, finally hovering tens of meters above Jiuyao City. The wind pressure from its wings stirred up a storm!

Then, a dozen people jumped down and walked into Jiuyao City.

No one dared to stop them!

The Jiuyou Thunder Eagle flew toward the Jiuyao Mountain Range and quickly disappeared.

"They're from Medicine Valley!"

Someone recognized the logo on their clothes.

"Medicine Valley? It's just an ancient relic, how can they be here?"

"How can we guess the decisions of such a powerful group..."

The captain of the city guard, already quite familiar with such phenomena, didn't walk toward the imperial city with the slightest panic.
