Blood splattered, staining the walls of the alley.
A dwarf's corpse lay on the ground.
Xi Mu shook the blood off the Hunting King's Greatsword, then crouched down to touch the dwarf assassin's body, burning it to ashes with the Flame of Death.
"The dwarves wanting to kill you... sure are plenty," came a charming female voice. Xi Mu looked towards the source and saw a mature woman with golden short hair, dressed in an elegant purple gown, walking slowly towards him.
After approaching a certain distance, she stopped.
The woman was forcibly maintaining her composure, but she couldn't hide her... fear; she didn't dare get too close.
"It's quite normal for the followers of the Dusk Cult to want me dead," Xi Mu said casually, recognizing the woman as the eldest princess of Gear City, with the bloodline of the immortal serpent.
Her level was close to eighty, which made her a decent experience pack.
