The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1450 - 1454: Visitors from the Upper Realm

In the evening, Lin Fei waited for them to come back, then announced this matter, saying he would be going out for a few days and would return later.

The few of them didn’t really react much. Lin Fei leaving was something they were used to; after all, he often left and then came back, and they had almost become immune to it.

Immortal Wei Huo stayed behind, while Lin Fei embarked on his journey. He drove, heading toward the destination.

The destination was an area with trees. If it weren’t for the fact that the map indicated it was indeed around here, Lin Fei wouldn’t have believed that this was the destination.

However, after arriving here, he didn’t find anything. Just then, a man walked out from the woods. The man was dressed in black clothes and said to Lin Fei, "Are you Lin Fei?"

Lin Fei nodded.

"Follow me."

The man led Lin Fei, walking into the depths of the woods. Lin Fei followed all the way and finally reached the depths of the forest. Indeed, there was a cave here. Was it really an underground city, as Immortal Wei Huo had said?

Lin Fei didn’t know, but after he walked into the passage, he found the air here very fresh, without any stifling heat, which made him feel very strange. Lin Fei followed the man, descending into the cave to about twenty meters deep, reaching a door. The man pushed open the door, letting Lin Fei walk in. As Lin Fei stepped closer to the door, he found it was still Shandong inside, only with some lamps on the cave’s ceiling.

As he slowly moved forward, Lin Fei finally reached the destination after walking almost a mile, merely a stone house.

Lin Fei didn’t expect there to be a stone house here, rather than a city, which somewhat disappointed him. He saw inside the stone house, a man in his forties was sitting, looking at Lin Fei, while Lin Fei was also sizing him up.

"Are you Lin Fei? A new law enforcer of the Ancient Martial World?" the man spoke, his voice very loud.

And Lin Fei also sized him up. At first glance, this man looked upright, somewhat like a big company boss, but then Lin Fei noticed coldness constantly emitting from this man’s eyes, which made him wary.

"That’s right. Who are you?" Lin Fei asked.

"No need to be nervous, come sit down, let’s have some tea and talk slowly." This middle-aged man didn’t seem intent on immediately revealing his identity, instead inviting Lin Fei to sit down.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t the law enforcer daring to drink my tea?" The middle-aged man laughed at Lin Fei’s motionless posture, as if discovering something amusing.

Lin Fei chuckled, saying, "It’s not that, I’m just not thirsty."

"In that case, I won’t force it. Let me introduce myself. I’m the leader of the Assassins’ Alliance, named Bai Nuoshen."

"Bai Nuoshen? Is that really your name?" Lin Fei expressed doubt, having never heard such a strange name. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That’s right, or you could say it’s my code name. In the Assassins’ Alliance, everyone has a code name, not a real name. If I weren’t the leader, there probably wouldn’t be a code name for me either. You can also call me Number One, whichever you like."

Lin Fei nodded, having learned some intel about the Assassins’ Alliance, and spoke, "By the way, is this place your city? It can’t be the legendary city, right?"

"Of course not. The legendary city is much more strictly managed. Even I have to undergo thorough checks to enter. It’s a rule left by our ancestors, meant to give Ancient Martial Artists a lifeline."

Lin Fei fell silent, not believing the last sentence. What’s meant by a lifeline? He didn’t think a lifeline is given by others; he believed it’s something you strive for.

"Then let me ask you, why did you try to kill my wife?" Lin Fei straightforwardly asked, uninterested in chatting further with this man, directly getting to the point.

Unexpectedly, Bai Nuoshen chuckled, saying, "I didn’t intend to kill your wife. Besides, you’re a law enforcer of the Ancient Martial World; we wouldn’t harm anyone related to you at all. That’s our principle. But a few days ago, a disobedient newcomer caused this misunderstanding. So this time, I invited you here to apologize!"

Hearing the humility in Bai Nuoshen’s words surprised Lin Fei. But since it wasn’t done intentionally to trouble him, and it was a misunderstanding caused by a newcomer, Lin Fei was happy to accept Bai Nuoshen’s apology. However...

"But my wife was frightened. Aren’t you going to offer some compensation?" Lin Fei said with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Nuoshen chuckled, saying, "Of course, there will be compensation, but let’s discuss another matter first!"

"What else is there?" Lin Fei asked.

Bai Nuoshen chuckled, starting to speak, "You must have heard that our Assassins’ Alliance was established by a group of Ancient Martial Artists. Still, our organization is ultimately an unrecognized assassination group, so I hope to cooperate with you, Lin Fei."

"How do we cooperate?" Lin Fei was somewhat interested. If cooperation is mutually beneficial, then fine, but he didn’t want to be used as a tool!

"This is what I think..." Bai Nuoshen began, just about to speak, when suddenly!

Lin Fei’s phone rang. He said to Bai Nuoshen, "Sorry, I need to take this call."

"Hmm." Bai Nuoshen responded, and Lin Fei went out to take the call. It was actually Immortal Wei Huo calling, who never made calls before!

"Great Immortal, what’s going on? I’m busy here!" Lin Fei said impatiently.

Immortal Wei Huo’s expression was grave as he said, "Lin Fei, your stone suddenly started glowing!"

"What!" Lin Fei nearly jumped in response. He knew what this meant; a glowing stone signaled the arrival of someone from the Upper Realm. Who exactly was coming down!

Lin Fei immediately said, "Immortal Wei Huo, come to the address I mentioned. I’m heading there too. Come pick me up!" Lin Fei finished speaking, hung up, said a few brief words to Bai Nuoshen, and then left.

Bai Nuoshen watched Lin Fei’s departing figure with a smile, saying, "What an interesting fellow, but being a law enforcer, he’s so rash. He truly is still a young one!"

Just then, suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air in the room. This person was very young and strikingly handsome. He spoke, "Father, this guy doesn’t even know of my existence. Are you sure he’s a law enforcer? He doesn’t seem like one!"
