“Mrs. Guo, you have fully recovered. I’ve also cured you of your hidden wounds too!”

  The vague glow dispersed in the Guo house.

  Then, a pretty face that was almost ten years younger than before was revealed, reminding everybody of how beautiful she was when she was in her prime years.

  “We must thank you for the Rejuvenation Fluid, Master Ji.”

  Huang Rong was very gentle and looked at Ji Ye warmly.

  It couldn’t be helped. A woman of her age really couldn’t resist the temptation of rejuvenation.

  “If you like it, Mrs. Guo, I can make more of it for you after the Yuan people retreat. Right, the Twin Dragon Mount fort also has a ‘Black Mud’ that can nourish your face and make you look better.”

  What Ji Ye gave Huang Rong was really a Rejuvenation Fluid.

  He had accidentally acquired this by fusing the Sweet Dew with some of the Extraordinary herbs in Hundred Flowers Valley!

  It would be more effective if he were to fuse the fluid with the Black Mud. After all, the Black Mud could regenerate limbs and renew cells too.

  Of course, since the Yuan people would launch an attack the next day, Ji Ye chose to talk about businesses first after Huang Rong was completely cured.

  “What? Master Ji, the Twin Dragon Mount fort wants to assassinate the Yuan emperor?”

  Guo Jing, who had been invited to this room by Ji Ye for an “important matter”, was surprised by Ji Ye’s proposal.

  “Yuan has already declared war on us. Their military camps must be heavily defended tonight. Also, judging from the arrow in the morning, the Yuan emperor is very strong, I don’t think it will be easy to kill him!”

  Then, Guo Jing quickly shook his head.

  “It’s true that we can barely kill the target all by ourselves, so we’ll need the cooperation of the army of Xiangyang City.

  “However, allow me to introduce someone to you first.”

  Ji Ye was rather calm.

  After both of them agreed, a man who was covered in a black robe walked into the room from outside.

  “He is the leader of the Shadow Assassins!”

  \r \r \r

  Ji Ye lifted the black robe that covered the man and revealed the Shadow Totem on his back that almost seemed like a living creature!

  “What?”

  “The leader of the Shadow Assassins?”

  What Ji Ye said made both of them breathe heavily and anxiously.

  While the kings of Yuan were more famous, Guo Jing and Huang Rong hated the leader of the Shadow Assassins even more.

  It was because several senior generals in Xiangyang City, as well as Leader Lu of the Beggars Sect who had come to Xiangyang City as reinforcements, had been killed by the Shadow Assassin leader.

  Even Huang Rong’s heavy wounds were partly planned by the Shadow Assassin leader!

  “We were attacked by the Shadow Assassins back in the inn. We managed to capture him alive with the help of Reverend Yideng. Now, he’s controlled by the Soul Transference Technique from the modified Nine Yin Sutra together with a special treasure……”

  Ji Ye explained the situation.

  “The Soul Transference Technique from the Nine Yin Sutra? I didn’t know that you were familiar with this technique, Master Ji……”

  Guo Jing was instantly convinced by what Ji Ye said.

  Having practiced the Nine Yin Sutra himself, he knew the power of the Soul Transference Technique well enough.

  Although the martial art was more or less weakened on the Battlefield of Providence, Guo Jing’s Transcendent understanding of the art was retained.

  He knew that it was really possible to transfer someone’s soul with this technique when someone really understood it!

  “Master Ji, you’re really planning to assassinate the Yuan emperor tonight?”

  Huang Rong, whose smartness was said to be unparalleled, was deep in thought after she saw the Shadow Assassin leader.

  Then, she looked at Ji Ye and asked.

  “That’s right. Tonight’s the best opportunity!

  “The Yuan emperor has just arrived and doesn’t know the situation well enough.

  “Also, the main forces of Yuan haven’t fully arrived yet, so it’s easy to charge at the enemy’s camps now…… Once their forces are fully gathered, we’ll only be able to defend Xiangyang City passively.

  “It won’t be possible to defend the city for long in that way, because a lot of people who know strange skills are on Yuan’s side, and more of them will arrive as time goes by.

  “It’s possible that some of them have ways to quickly break the city walls. When the city walls are no longer effective and we’re outnumbered, everybody in Xiangyang City will be killed by them.”

  Ji Ye revealed more information to them.

  It had been a month and a half since they entered the Battlefield of Providence. Also, as time went by, more people would enter the Battlefield of Providence.

  It was not just about the total number, but the new arrivals every day.

  That’s because as the deadline of the Ten-Species Competition quest drew near, more and more settlements had secured final victories, and most of them would enter the Battlefield of Providence after arriving at the City of Humans! ……

  “Huh? Brother Ji! Dad!”

  An hour later, Ji Ye and Guo Jing walked out of Huang Rong’s room together and ran into Guo Xiang who was holding a pair of white Nine-tailed Foxes in her arms!

  “Brother Ji!

  “Little Eight and Little Nine are not having any food. When will they give me a baby fox if they don’t eat?”

  Hearing the voices outside of the door, Huang Rong, who was holding a book made of unknown materials, seemed worried.

  As one of the smartest people on the Battlefield of Providence, she had vaguely sensed that there were hidden secrets behind the “strangers” who had come at her invitations.

  If she were younger, she might have dug to the bottom of it, but she wouldn’t do such a thing anymore.

  It was because they were all trying to defend Xiangyang City. Her husband Guo Jing had worked on it for decades.

  Nevertheless, Huang Rong didn’t want her daughter to become too close to the “strangers”.

  However, it seemed that things were going out of control, because her daughter greeted “Brother Ji” before she greeted her dad!

  However, what Ji Ye said next relaxed Huang Rong.

  “Go take them to Sister Nie and Sister Chu Yin in the yard. They’re learning the Melody of the Rising Tide from Master Huang at this moment. Master Huang is so knowledgeable that he definitely knows why they aren’t eating anything!”

  Looking at the pair of Nine-tailed Foxes, which were already as fat as pigs and were winking at him while sending out signals for help in Guo Xiang’s arms, Ji Ye smiled and said to her. ……

  “Well, are the Shi brothers here? We’ll be more certain in such a case!”

  At this moment, Ji Ye received a message from Ruan Xiaoer after he returned to the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s yard.

  He was rather intrigued.

  “Ninth Uncle, Mr. Gongsun!

  “You should have ways to sustain my body after I transfer my soul out, right?”

  He walked into Ninth Uncle and Gongsun Sheng’s room, who were making preparations for the battle together. He laid down the Sound Stone and opened his mouth.
