That night, many things happened.
--He had only gone to complete his Advancement Mission, but ran into Crow on the way back. To celebrate, the two of them went straight out for drinks.
He had only meant to go drinking, but ended up getting a fortune told.
He had only meant to get his fortune told, but then he ran into people from the Evil Ghost World at the City Lord's Mansion. They spotted the Six Realms God Mountain Sword.
--It went without saying that Poison Elder of the Evil Ghost World would bring people to try to seize the sword.
Since that was the case...
He couldn't be blamed for what came next.
The orange cat crouched atop the towering city wall, watching the City Lord's Mansion and thinking silently.
The deep night sky hung low, completely concealing his figure.
--Mount Sumeru Divine Power, Night Wraith Ghost Shadow.
Xiao Die's mark had already been removed. Now, no one could detect the orange cat's presence.
He simply waited in silence.
--He had always been patient, especially when preparing to kill.
The night wind blew softly.
The orange cat kept his eyes on the City Lord's Mansion, never looking away.
At last.
The gates of the City Lord's Mansion opened.
Seven or eight people wearing Evil Ghost Masks walked out.
Poison Elder led the way, with the others following at his sides.
For some reason, Poison Elder instinctively glanced toward the nearest stretch of city wall.
Beneath the deep, dark night, the towering wall was like an Iron Curtain, guarding the city.
Though the orange cat crouched right there, Poison Elder saw nothing.
Poison Elder didn't know why he had looked toward the wall. He shook his head instinctively and said, "Come on. We're going to the Assassin Guild right away."
