Chapter 1182: Chapter 849: I Protect Myself_4

As the New Saint, Sun Miao had to begin cutting off the Sacred Intent, and in terms of consumption, it was far greater than Tao Yu, who could casually restore it.

Tao Yu appreciatively accepted the items.

“Thank you, I think I probably won’t have the chance to use it.”

“Haha, it’s best if you don’t use it. Alright, I won’t disturb you young couple any longer. This old man will also go meet some guests.”

As the newly ascended Saintly Position, besides dealing with the persistent matters from the old Development Area in Starshine, Sun Miao now needed to use his time wisely. Having returned, he also needed to personally meet a few important representatives who were still waiting, genuinely wanting to discuss business.

Some organizations that only Saints can contact, transactions, and collaborations needed him to personally handle.

The newly ascended Sun Miao was completely different from the veteran Saints who had settled all affairs and could rest easy behind the scenes…

…

“Quite unique.”

Tao Yu twirled the jade pendant in his hand, then put it away.

However, as he was leaving the Sun household, intending to return to his own room to be with his wife, his expression suddenly changed.

The ‘Star Killer’ of the Assassin’s League sent a communication.

During this period, the three leaders of the Assassin’s League had been in communication using some cryptic codes.

Most of them were to report safety and simple situations of hiding.

After all, previously the Ancestor of Ming River had been wandering in Starshine City, and Starshine City also had a new Saint. Meanwhile, the Assassin’s League had taken on a job from a rival force.

So, hiding in fear of retaliation seemed reasonable, and there hadn’t been much activity.

But this time, ‘Star Killer’ activated a high-level code, indicating a major task.

Tao Yu directly took out the corresponding communicator and began to read the messages.

“Headquarters has sent a message: a new representative will arrive in a month, and at the same time, a new task has been issued, which is rather tricky, and all three of us have to come up with a plan.”

Requiring the three Catastrophe Levels to meet for a task was indeed surprising to Tao Yu, and he messaged back,

“What task? Do all three of us need to prepare together? Is it an assassination of a Catastrophe Level? Who is the new representative? Do we know them?”

Tao Yu casually inquired for information. As one of the three Catastrophe Levels of the Baixing State Assassin’s League, Tao Yu had every right to ask.

Even at the completely unknown location of the Assassin’s League’s headquarters, Catastrophe Level was definitely an extremely crucial force.

Tao Yu’s ascension was said to be stepping over the dead representative of the headquarters.

So it seems normal for a new representative to come over.

But no matter, if anything gets in the way, just deal with it.

It’s quite nice having this skin of the Assassin’s League, now able to receive some news from alternative channels.

“You probably don’t know the new representative, code-named ‘Xuan Gui’, here to lay low after a mission failure.”

Star Killer’s response left Tao Yu speechless. How is it this guy again?

In a month’s time, it should be for healing and travel, though his exact location in the current world is unknown, only that his position in the Abyss was relatively close to mine.

“Is the arrangement for ‘Xuan Gui’ to come because he encountered me? And as someone who met ‘Ming River’ the Old Ancestor and still retreated safely, he’s placed nearby?”

Tao Yu thought carefully, and it seemed quite possible!

Although the initial meeting with ‘Xuan Gui’ wasn’t pleasant, they at least completed a transaction and tacitly returned to finish the fishing.

The connection can indeed be switched; such an experience might enable ‘Xuan Gui’ to face a capricious Saint like ‘Ming River’ without missing a chance to speak and get killed on the spot.

“The assassination task wouldn’t be targeted at me, would it…”

Tao Yu murmured internally.

“As for the task, it’s not assassinating but finding a way to infiltrate Starshine to protect the new Catastrophe Level named ‘Tao Yu’. There’s intelligence suggesting someone wants to use our name to assassinate him, and we definitely don’t want to take the blame for that.”

Star Killer’s rambling left Tao Yu feeling a bit speechless.

Originally thinking they were coming to assassinate, it turns out the Assassin’s League was here to play bodyguard?

How absurd…

However, someone trying to use the name of the Assassin’s League to attempt to assassinate him was really something Sun Miao had guessed.

Yet the Assassin’s League, accustomed to unjust blame, seemed unable to sit idly this time.

They were actually playing the role of bodyguards…

“Huh? I know about his intelligence, with Sacred Objects, not weak in strength, right? Even if he’s a newly risen Catastrophe Level, how strong would one need to be to assassinate him? Participating in this kind of battle carries risks.”

Tao Yu complained a bit first, then continued messaging,

“How did you get the intelligence? Do you know who the assassination party is? The employer?”

“I know it’s dangerous, so once Xuan Gui arrives, he will bring rewards from headquarters. Just successfully preventing the assassination will earn an award. The intelligence originally came from headquarters; I suspect someone initially wanted headquarters to arrange for a Quasi-Saint or even a Star Killer, but was rejected…”

“That new Catastrophe, though not weak and carries a Sacred Object, ultimately isn’t a Quasi-Saint. As long as he’s eliminated before activating the Sacred Object, even I am somewhat confident.”

Star Killer spoke with considerable pride, saying his Duel Space significant aids in assassination, known as the Innate Assassination Saint Body, and is a major face and banner of the Baixing State Assassin’s League.

Even though the Assassin’s League acts wantonly, lacking permanent assets means they dare wear shoes without socks, and indeed they fulfill the organization’s need and survival ground.

But, whether in the Baixing State or with ‘Xuan Gui’, it’s clear their bottom line is quite flexible.

If a Quasi-Saint or Star Killer is required to make a move, it cannot just be measured by simple price; it must present terms the Assassin’s League cannot refuse.

So the refusal must be due to insufficient conditions, and the Assassin’s League has a strong apprehension of ‘Ming River’s’ strength.

Yet, similarly, because an employer came to discuss, headquarters there must have sighted something…
