Sword Pool City, south gate.
"Qin Hao, you're dead this time!" Jiao Hong grew excited as he gazed at the bustling Sword Pool City.
Throughout the journey, Jiao Hong had been thinking about how to kill Qin Hao.
Now, he had a plan.
Jiao Hong concealed himself in the crowd and soon entered the city.
Once he arrived in Sword Pool City, Jiao Hong did not wander around. He headed straight for a sparsely populated street.
Dilapidated courtyards lined both sides of it.
Few people came to a place like this.
Yet two Fierce Tiger statues stood at the entrance to one of the courtyards.
To an outsider, the Fierce Tiger statues would seem perfectly ordinary. The moment Jiao Hong saw them, his face lit up.
He looked at the crumbling courtyard with resentment and excitement in his eyes.
The place was desolate, but Jiao Hong knew exactly what it was...
This courtyard was one of the Heavenly Fiend Organization's outposts in the Profound Sun Domain!
The Heavenly Fiend Organization was renowned across the True Martial Continent for its assassinations.
Its reputation was especially formidable in the Southern Domain Group. It had once assassinated a Venerable Martial Venerable. At its most audacious, it had even hunted a peak Ninth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm expert, a mighty figure considered half a step from the next realm.
It was said that, given enough Spirit Stones, the organization would accept any assassination contract!
Jiao Hong had only heard of the Heavenly Fiend Organization before; he had never dealt with it. But when a Saint Martial Grandmaster in the Great Scarlet Reach was hunted by the organization, a chance encounter had put Jiao Hong in contact with it.
That was how he had learned of the Sword Pool City outpost.
*You little bastard.
