Distracted, Jin Yue had never imagined that someone would try to assassinate him.
Moreover, his perception had been severely suppressed.
When the black light appeared, he failed to react at all.
Shlk!
The dagger pierced Jin Yue's forehead.
An uncanny power activated instantly, snuffing out his life!
Then strands of black shadow ropes caught Jin Yue's corpse and pulled it into the cultivation chamber.
"This Life-Taking Dagger really is impressive."
"Too bad it can only kill fourth-realm cultivators, not fifth-realm ones."
"Otherwise, I'd just slaughter Yi He."
Lu Mian twirled the dagger in his hand, murmuring to himself.
The Life-Taking Dagger had to be a Spirit Treasure.
Otherwise, it could never have been so terrifying.
He gave Jin Yue's corpse a quick search but found nothing.
"Another penniless bastard."
Lu Mian shook his head helplessly.
In the latter half of the night.
A squad clad in leather armor was patrolling the Golden Lion Tribe.
They were the Raging Lion Guard.
Unlike the Blood Lion Guard, the Raging Lion Guard consisted entirely of the tribe's young, able-bodied members and boasted considerable numbers.
"If you ask me, killing the Heavenly Hound Tribe's envoy wasn't enough. We need to raze their whole tribe!"
"Exactly."
"They actually dared to assassinate our young lord!"
As the Raging Lion Guards patrolled, they discussed what had happened that day.
Within the Golden Lion Tribe, almost everyone had already accepted that the Heavenly Hound Tribe was responsible for Jin Xiao's murder.
"Hmm... doesn't it look like there are people hanging from that gate up ahead?"
One Raging Lion Guard suddenly spoke up.
"How could that be?!"
"Wait, there really are people!"
The captain of the Raging Lion Guard looked over and saw numerous people hanging outside the gates of a large residence.
They hurried over to investigate.
