Chapter 2444 Surging Hidden Currents
When the sun finally rose again, a drunken Dantai Feng was assisted back to his room.
Lin Xun's eyes were also fluttering a little. After slowly walking back into his room, he circulated his cultivation to disperse the alcohol, before exhaling a breath of turbid air.
In the room, his true body chuckled as he put the clone away, before he fell into deep thought.
Although he had failed to assassinate Wen Shaoheng, he had at least killed Granny Xue, a formidable individual who was far more powerful than a Ninth Realm Ancestor. At the end of the day, it could be said that he had at least gained something from the whole affair.
Moreover, he also obtained a considerable fortune from Granny Xue, where the amount of first-grade cosmic origin crystals alone numbered over three hundred thousand. In addition, there were several Emperor-grade weapons of excellent quality and a variety of divine materials and medicines that added up to quite a staggering value.
Among the spoils, a certain black, conch-shaped treasure soon caught Lin Xun's attention. Layers of strange dao patterns were branded on the conch. When power was injected into it, the strange dao patterns began to transform into a line of mysterious text.
"In half a year, Frost will arrive and eliminate the target. Remember to have your young master prepare the remaining two million cosmic origin crystals."
The text made Lin Xun fall into thought, realizing that Crane's defeat hadn’t brought the assassination to an end, but instead, drew out an even more powerful Frost!
Lin Xun asked, "Green sparrow, do you know Frost from Empty Hidden World?"
"Frost?" The green sparrow appeared to be startled. "Could it be that Empty Hidden World is still planning to assassinate you?"
Lin Xun nodded. "I believe so."
The green sparrow was stunned for a while. After some time, it finally said, "You may be about to encounter a seriously deadly threat."
