At the window, that assassin's black shadow seemed to be extremely patient, standing still and gazing all the time.
Ice-cold gaze, like a viper, stared at Lin Hao, who was sleeping on the bed.
After about a few minutes, after determining that Lin Hao didn't have any movement, the black shadow moved and quietly swept inside.
Inside, it was dim.
The black shadow was silent, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to an inaudible level.
If the parrot four treasures didn't have the night vision ability to discover it in advance, I'm afraid that this time the assassin's infiltration would be difficult for Lin Hao to notice without being on guard!
The black shadow walked closer, quietly looking at Lin Hao who was lying flat on his back.
Lin Hao closed his eyes, his heart incomparably calm.
Because, the kung fu flies and tarantulas were already lurking next to his pillow.
If this guy dared to make a move, the consequences wouldn't be hard to imagine.
However, the black shadow man's eyes, did not have half a bit of killing aura showing.
Taking out a storage ring and placing it beside the bed, he turned around to leave.
"Since you've come, you must at least give a clear account of the matter before leaving."
Just as the black shadow had taken two steps out, a strange voice suddenly sounded.
The black shadow man's eyes were slightly stunned, and then he saw that a parrot with a handsome and proud demeanor was standing on the window at an unknown time.
There was no doubt that the sound just now was from this parrot.
"Four Treasures, long time no see."
Seeing Four Treasures, the black shadow man actually directly called out its name.
Moreover, although the voice was clear and cold, it was pleasant to the ears and was clearly a woman!
"Violet Night?"
Lin Hao heard that its voice was somewhat familiar.
At that moment, he made a carp jump and leapt to the bottom of the bed unexpectedly, landing firmly on the ground.
The moonlight outside the window filtered in and shone on the black shadow person, reflecting the delicate and slender figure.
"I was so careful, but surprisingly I was still discovered by you."
The black shadow person turned around and faced Lin Hao, a light smile appearing on her cold face.
This person was none other than Lin Hao's top boss in the Underworld Pavilion, Violet Night.
"It's really you, you almost made a move just now."
Lin Hao smiled indifferently and said, "Look for me in the future, don't be so scary."
Saying that, Lin Hao reached out and picked up the storage ring beside the bed, his spiritual power probing in.
However, he saw that there was a ten thousand gold card inside, as well as a whole bunch of transmission notes.
"It can't be helped, two years ago, in order to look for you, the transmission notes were all burnt out, yet you didn't even reply."
Violet Night's fragrant shoulders lightly shrugged as she faintly said.
At those words, Lin Hao understood.
Back then, because of the test of the Holy Realm Spirit Infant, he was trapped in the dark illusion realm, and he couldn't sense any movement in the outside world.
Later, when he regained his consciousness, Lin Hao had also pulled up the tarantula's visual screen to check it out.
He knew that indeed, every once in a while, there was a sound transmission note swept out from the storage ring.
But in the end, until the sound transmission notes burned out, there was no sound at all.
"So you came over tonight just to deliver some sound transmission notes?"
Lin Hao smiled indifferently and immediately took out the ten thousand gold card.
As his spiritual energy probed and swept, Lin Hao was immediately surprised to find that the amount inside was extremely sizable.
Surprisingly, it was as much as two hundred million dollars!
"Since I couldn't get in touch with you at that time, I thought you were dead, so I stopped making payments."
Violet Night had a cold face, seemingly not half tempted by money, and said, "Inside this gold card, there are two years of your salary, all of which will be returned to you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao was happy in his heart and smiled, "Thanks a lot."
This 200 million, for him nowadays, was undoubtedly what an urgent person needed.
It was just the right time to evolve the Fire Scale Tiger and the Four Treasures, respectively, to the S rank.
"One thing I'm curious about, how did you resist the Blood Devouring Poison?"
Violet Night suddenly opened her mouth and asked, staring at Lin Hao with odd eyes.
She remembered that when she brought Lin Hao to meet with 'Dark Eagle', the leader of the Stygian Pavilion's Heavenly Group, during which Lin Hao was coerced into drinking the poison.
That was a kind of venom that the Stygian Pavilion specialized in controlling its members.
Its poison entered the blood, and martial artists below the Saint Realm realm couldn't eradicate it even if they used their spiritual qi.
Moreover, it would strike once a month, and if there was no antidote, the blood veins of the entire body would be like being bitten by ten thousand insects, and the pain would be unbearable.
Hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly stunned, only then remembering such a thing.
Right now, as his mind turned, he casually said, "I'm not sure, two years ago when the toxin suddenly kicked in at the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, a poisonous snake happened to pass by, and I was bitten by it, and then I didn't realize that I was fine."
A poisonous snake?
At those words, a trace of surprise flashed through Violet Night's beautiful eyes.
Immediately, she inquired with a surprised face, "What kind of poisonous snake?"
Lin Hao shook his head, "I don't know, at that time, the pain was worse than death, so where would I have the heart to see any poisonous snakes."
"Perhaps, this is what is called fighting poison with poison."
Saying that, Lin Hao held a faint smile and deliberately found a reason.
Fighting poison with poison?
In response to Lin Hao's words, Violet Night's gaze flinched slightly, somewhat half-heartedly believing it.
Among the pill refining industry, there was indeed such a saying as fighting poison with poison.
Moreover, back then, she was present at the scene where Lin Hao swallowed the poison, and that situation shouldn't be fake.
She had also personally experienced the pain when the blood-devouring poison attacked, and it was simply impossible to resist.
Therefore, in Violet Night's opinion, with Lin Hao's cultivation nowadays, it would be difficult for him to resist it as well.
However, two years after the incident, Lin Hao had managed to support himself until now without swallowing the antidote.
It meant that the toxin in Lin Hao's body had indeed been removed, just as he had said.
At this, Violet Night couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I can't imagine that a poisonous snake in the district could remove the effects of poison devouring?
While pondering in his heart, Violet Night felt the need to report this matter, to the group leader.
Unbeknownst to him, it was also because of Lin Hao's lie this time that many members of the organization in the Stygian Pavilion were tragically subjected to the situation of the poisonous snake test in the future.
"Don't be polite, sit down and talk."
Lin Hao's voice fell, and the tarantula was already pushing a stool, stopping in front of Violet Night.
Violet Night nodded indifferently and sat down directly.
Inside the dimly lit bedchamber, the two of them sat opposite each other.
Since both sides were assassins, there was not the slightest bit of awkwardness in this pitch-black environment.
Lin Hao asked blandly, "You came this time, so you shouldn't just be delivering the Transmission Note and Ten Thousand Gold Card, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Violet Night nodded indifferently.
"Originally, I saw that you were sleeping, so I didn't disturb you, intending to leave after releasing the stuff."
Speaking of this, Violet Night's pair of cold, beautiful eyes stared at Lin Hao and said, "But there's something that I feel the need to remind you of."
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows lightly and didn't interrupt the other party out loud.
"In recent times, King Yan's body has been getting weaker and weaker, and he is no longer able to deter the changes of all the forces in the dynasty." BIquGe.biz
Purple Night seemed to be interested in bringing up these sensitive topics of the regime with Lin Hao, and said unapologetically:
"And according to the intelligence, the Grand Prince and the Second Prince, they, most likely, will stage a coup during the national celebration next month."
Coup?
A trace of surprise surged on Lin Hao's face.
Immediately, he also recalled that earlier, Qin Yu had specifically instructed the brothers not to go to the palace to participate in the celebration.
It turned out that this was the inside story!
"Since Yan Wang already knew about it, it wouldn't be enough to stop it in advance."
At this, Lin Hao said rather strangely.
Violet Night shook her head and said indifferently, "The reason why King Yan has delayed in re-establishing the candidate for the crown prince is that he intends to let the several princes compete with each other for the throne, and the one who is capable of doing so will be the one who lives."
Lin Hao couldn't help but be staggered in his heart.
That old man, King Yan, seemed to be a ruthless person as well.
In order to select a better new king, he was willing to let his sons kill each other.
"Therefore, King Yan has ordered that during the coup of this celebration, all members of the Underworld Pavilion are forbidden to participate in any of the forces."
Saying this, Violet Night glanced at Lin Hao and said meaningfully, "Including you, Lin Hao."
She knew that Lin Hao had always maintained a good relationship with the Fourth Prince Yan Chen, because of Qin Yu.
"Don't worry, not to mention participating, even this imperial palace's celebration, I'm not interested in going."
Lin Hao spread his hands and said without thinking.
Violet Night, however, smiled indifferently and said, "Unfortunately, you'll have to go even if you don't."
Oh?
Lin Hao asked with a slightly surprised tone, "What?"
"Protect the Yan King."
Violet Night had a solemn face, and in four short words, he revealed the deep meaning.
Obviously, at that time, if there was really a coup, even if it was King Yan, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the situation.
It seemed that this time, he had to go even if he didn't.
Lin Hao secretly shook his head, but it was just as well, so he could watch the situation change live.
If anything bad happened to Qin Yu, he could still help out a bit.
Anyway, when the time came, he would appear as Jing Ke, and no one would know who he was except for the Underworld Pavilion Organization.
"On the day of the celebration next month, you will meet me at the Golden Sea Pavilion in the Imperial Capital City, then follow the organization and sneak into the Imperial Palace as a whole."
After Violet Night had finished her instructions, she stopped lingering and swept out of the window with a lithe figure.
Looking at the figure outside the window that disappeared into the night, Lin Hao's eyes slightly condensed, falling into deep thought.
This throne change was obviously unavoidably about to break out.
In Lin Hao's opinion, the Yan King's initial idea might have been to intentionally let the several royal sons develop individually, observing from them which one was more suitable for the next king's new outstanding candidate.
At first, King Yan was still able to suppress them with the power of the Underworld Pavilion.
For example, in Wang Tai Sui's residence, assassinating that Minister of Household 'Ma Shuo Liang', but with the power to knock down the Grand Prince's side.
However, with the development over the past few years, each prince's ability was exceptionally good and their wings were gradually fleshed out.
On the surface, this accident appeared to be caused by Yan Wang.
However, everyone knew that with the Yan King's power nowadays, he was undoubtedly no longer able to control the situation and could only allow changes to take place.
Otherwise, how could he really sit back and let the celebration at the Imperial Palace, which was about to turn into a battlefield for the throne!
"Self-inflicted."
A hint of mockery spread out from the corner of Lin Hao's mouth.
Throughout the ages, this kind of thing, power, was really harmful.
Many generals and officers, as well as civilians, had fallen victim to it.
Of course, it wasn't like Lin Hao was some kind of saintly whore for having this kind of thought at the moment.
If he could, he also wished to own a territory and be a free and happy Lord Lord.
At that time, he would be able to develop freely in the territory and create greater wealth.
Or even fulfill the idea he had always wanted to form an animal army.
And then, Lin Hao glanced down at the 10,000 gold card in his hand and whispered, "System, I want to evolve animals."
"Ding, please ask the host to choose the animal that needs to be evolved."
Soon after, the electronic synthesized voice of the system suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterward, a light curtain panel instantly surfaced in front of Lin Hao's eyes.
In the middle of the panel, there were four pet totems that flashed with light.
They were Kung Fu Fly, Tarantula, Four Treasures, and Fire Scale Tiger.
And below the list, their respective profile information was revealed.
Nowadays, the Kung Fu Fly and Tarantula had already evolved to S rank.
The Four Treasures and the Fire Scaled Tiger, on the other hand, were A rank Kings.
For the two pets to evolve to S rank, 200 million was needed.
This gold card he had on hand now was just enough.
"Evolve."
Immediately, Lin Hao tapped the pet totem of the fire scale tiger.
"Ding, successful advancement, congratulations to codename 004 Fire Scale Tiger, upgraded to S-stage, battle power gained a full boost."
As the system's prompt sounded, Lin Hao then noticed that the Fire Scaled Tiger's totem flickered with light, gradually producing an evolution.
However, this evolution, apart from the battle power soaring to a value of 50,000, other aspects didn't feel like there was much change.
As for the flame glow on the surface of the Fire Scaled Tiger, it completely transformed into the form of the Purple Flame Beast Body, and the entire body was filled with cold purple flames.
"Master, I'm coming!"
The Four Treasures, who had always been hanging on, obviously possessed a heart that extremely wanted to become stronger.
When it saw Lin Hao's gaze cast on him, it immediately pounced forward in ecstasy.
Whoosh!
In the next split second, the Four Treasures instantly disappeared, directly being taken into the system pet space.
"Ding, successfully advanced, congratulations to code name 003 Four Treasures for upgrading to the S-stage, with a full increase in battle power."
"Ding, congratulations to Codename 003 Four Treasures, obtaining a special bloodline, Thunder Phoenix Blood."
At the same time as the system prompt sounded, Four Treasures' totem, steeply bursting with thunder awns, began to produce a huge metamorphosis.
Thunder Phoenix Blood?
When he heard that Four Treasures had obtained a special bloodline, Lin Hao's heart immediately jumped wildly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but be incomparably curious about the Four Treasures' upcoming evolutionary metamorphosis form.
After about a few breaths, the thunder aura on the surface of the totem finally stopped flickering.
Immediately afterward, what was presented to Lin Hao's vision was, an extremely divine bird figure.
Its figure was no longer as short and round as a parrot's, but had become extremely slender, with a head like a brocade chicken, a body covered in scaly feathers, and its entire body haunted with filaments of thunder.
Especially that pair of sharp phoenix claws, as if it possessed an aura capable of tearing apart the sky!
Although what was presented in front of Lin Hao right now was nothing more than a pet totem, he was still able to clearly feel a holy beast bloodline pressure that emanated from it, causing one's heart to palpitate.
This form was completely different from the Four Treasures' previous appearance!
"Too handsome!"
Lin Hao's gaze flickered as he looked at the evolved Four Treasures form, and he was very happy in his heart.
If he hadn't been concerned about the rich thunder power on the Four Treasures' body, it would have alarmed the other people in the dormitory area.
Lin Hao might have already been impatient and wanted to summon it out.
Therefore, he had to suppress the impassioned thoughts in his heart, and shifted his attention to Four Treasures' profile attributes.
