Chapter 193: Chapter 43 Sword Saint of the Tian Gang_4
Had Xi Wen wanted to take Yan Shi as a disciple in his younger years, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now, he could not, shaking his head, he earnestly said: "Thank you, Teacher Xi Wen. Since we have promised the Elf Queen to help her find her tribe members, we cannot break our promise. If there is a chance in the future, I will surely seek your guidance."
Xi Wen nodded slightly and said, "All right, I won’t force you. Ah Dai, are you also going help the Elf Clan to find their tribe members?"
Ah Dai looked at Xuan Yue, whose eyes were filled with anxiety. "Master Uncle, it was me who first promised the Elf Queen, so I think it’s better to go help her first."
Xi Wen smiled slightly, understanding Xuan Yue’s intentions, "Both of you are kindhearted children. Helping the Elf Clan is the right thing to do. If you ever offend any nobles of the Empire of Sunset City in the future, feel free to return. No one will trouble you here. But, Ah Dai, I hope you can stay for a few more days, my master is confused about the incident of the ninth junior brother. I think, wait until my master decides how to deal with the Assassin’s Guild, then you can leave."
Hearing that Xi Wen did not stop Ah Dai and herself from finding the Elf Clan members, Xuan Yue was overjoyed, and quickly said: "No problem, the scenery of Tian Gang Mountain is so beautiful! Especially the Tian Gang sunrise, we also wanted to stay for a few days." However, what Xuan Yue did not expect was that this decision to stay led to her and Ah Dai’s separation for three long years.
At a location in the Empire of Sunset City, the headquarters of the Thieves Guild.
"What, the fourth brother was killed by the disciple of the Sword of Hades from the Assassin’s Guild?" The President of the Thieves Guild banged the table and stood up, his chest filled with rage. Losing even one of the Acquirers was a heavy blow to the Thieves Guild, as they were an integral part of the organization. The tempting reward of ten thousand diamond coins was just too much. With this money, the Thieves Guild could live a prosperous life for ten years.
Mie Feng stepped forward, bowed her head and said, "President, it’s my fault. If the fourth uncle hadn’t saved me, he wouldn’t have died under the Sword of Hades. You can punish me."
The President glanced at his only daughter, his greatest pride and joy. Not only did Mie Feng have a high talent, but she also practiced harder than he did when he was young. At only nineteen, she had already reached the level of an Acquirer, which was all due to her hard work. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "First tell me everything that happened."
Mie Feng lowered her head and said, "Here is what happened. After we accepted the advance payment from the employer, under your order, I led ten senior thieves and a hundred ordinary thieves quietly to the Elf Forest of the Tian Yuan Clan. At first, everything went very smoothly. We set up many traps and, after half a month, managed to capture sixteen ordinary elves, including six male and ten female elves, just a few short of what the employer required. However, the elves became more alert and frequently sent experts to patrol the forest, causing us to suffer heavy losses. Subsequently, a few strangers appeared, six men and two women, a total of eight people. Their skills were not very profound. When they just entered the Elf Forest, they were blocked by a small elves squad, who didn’t trust the outsiders because of our right actions, so they insisted on binding them and the outsiders agreed to be tied up by the Elf Mages using magic of nature. After calculating, I found that the number of this group of elves, coupled with those we had caught, was just enough for the employer’s requirements, so we decided to capture the entire group of elves with full force. However, as soon as we launched an attack, those strangers broke free of their bonds and killed a lot of our ordinary thieves. When we were left with no other choice, we also came out. To prevent more casualties, we decided to confront those strangers directly. Their skills were not very profound, the first one to come out, couldn’t even take my one move. The second one, a tall young man with a stupefied expression on his face, had much more profound skills than the previous one using a giant longsword. When he was about to lose to me, he suddenly revealed that he had the Sword of Hades. Fearing I would be injured, the fourth uncle took it upon himself. Who would’ve thought that the young man was indeed a descendant of Hades, and even fourth uncle did not withstand a single strike of the Sword of Hades..." At this point, Mie Feng’s eyes turned red, and she couldn’t speak anymore. Every time she thought of her fourth uncle’s death, a wave of extreme hatred arose in her heart. She hated the person who had killed her fourth uncle and wanted to smash him into pieces.
