Ye Qiu had killed a large number of assassins and mercenaries, causing a shock throughout the assassin community. There were rumors circulating that Ye Qiu was the legendary King Yan from the past.
The title of King Yan was brought up again. Ordinary people might think the name King Yan was steeped in mythology, but in the world of assassins, King Yan was a king, a legend.
He was like a dazzling meteor that rose quickly and disappeared just as fast, leaving only a brief memory in the assassin community.
"If Ye Qiu really is that King of Assassins—King Yan, then it's possible for him to kill any top expert," said another assassin who was well aware of King Yan's prowess.
"They say King Yan can claim your life in the dead of night; who would dare keep you until dawn? When King Yan appears, even other kings have to avoid his sharp edge."
