Meanwhile.
Primordial Unity Immortal City.
In the Black Market stood Shadow Building.
Despite its formidable reputation, it was merely an unremarkable little shop.
Few customers came. Ordinary people did not casually seek help assassinating others.
At that moment, an old man sat behind the shop counter, reclining in a chair and reading a book for pleasure.
He was the master of Shadow Building's branch in Primordial Unity Immortal City. Known as Dark Flow, he was a core member of the organization.
His cultivation was formidable, too. He had reached Spirit Transformation Full Completion long ago.
Because of his considerable talent, Shadow Building's higher-ups had once favored him and supported an attempt to break through to Void Refinement.
Though that attempt had failed, he had gained something from it. His Divine Sense had barely broken through a major bottleneck and now possessed seventy percent of the power of a Void Refinement cultivator, far beyond what ordinary cultivators could match.
Such Divine Sense naturally helped his fighting strength tremendously.
As a result, he was exceptionally powerful. Rumor had it that he had once escaped a Void Refinement cultivator and had even slain two ordinary Spirit Transformation Full Completion cultivators at once. His name inspired dread.
But age had caught up with him, and he no longer wished to involve himself in such killing.
He also had connections at Shadow Building's headquarters.
He had therefore retired from the front lines and eventually taken charge of the Black Market branch in Primordial Unity Immortal City, settling into a leisurely life.
Just then, he sensed something amiss. He immediately took three shattered Life Tablets from his Storage Bag.
"Hm?"
"I never expected all three of Shadow Building's Spirit Transformation Full Completion assassins to fall. It seems the backer behind Lingxiao Business Alliance has extraordinary abilities."
