Jiang Shouyin gritted his teeth, drew his brows tight, and lifted his eyes to look at the Great Demon in midair, whose aura towered to the heavens. In his heart, alpacas were rolling all over the place.
When Golden Lion had announced his name just now, Jiang Shouyin had not paid it any mind. Now, seeing his true form, he suddenly remembered.
Flying Lion—he was clearly that gold-ranked assassin of Azure Wing Tower!
There were not that few gold-ranked assassins in Azure Wing Tower, though there were not many either; it was not to the point that every single one was renowned throughout the rivers and lakes.
But Golden Lion was different. He had once committed a major case in Zhao Ge City and fled afterward, a Great Demon who had enraged the current ruler.
Jiang Shouyin racked his brains and could not remember where he had ever offended anyone from Azure Wing Tower, let alone killed Golden Lion's sworn brother.
One had to know, this organization was one many people of the rivers and lakes avoided as if they could not flee it fast enough.
Because Azure Wing Tower had an extremely great origin and was absolutely no ordinary assassin organization.
During the Previous Dynasty, the institution the imperial court used to manage cultivation forces was called the "Heaven Sea Wing Three Departments."
Among them, the Heaven Department recruited cultivators from all under heaven, stationed them throughout the Nine Provinces, and specialized in matters such as driving out evil spirits.
Later, the Previous Dynasty collapsed and He Luo set its tripod in place. This Heaven Department also turned toward the He Luo imperial clan, changed its face and shed its old guise, becoming what was now one of the Twelve Immortal Sects: "Central State imperial court Facing Heaven Pavilion."
