Chapter 139 I Have to Be Your Grandfather
"W-what?"
The killers were all stunned and looked at their companions around them until an inconspicuous black figure in the back row dismounted.
"OK!"
Shen Yue walked around the crowd, came to the front, took off her hat and veil, and revealed a bright smile.
"Brother Jiang, please lead the way."
Jiang Da curved his lips and smiled, "Okay."
The killers were still in a state of confusion until Jiang Da came to the Buddha statue in the temple, twisted the mechanism on the incense burner, and opened the door of the secret room. Then they stopped him in a deep voice:
"Boss, my aunt said that this is the most secret hiding place of the Nether Palace, and no outsiders are allowed to enter!"
Jiang Da paused, but did not look back.
"Believe me, she won't hurt you."
However, after tonight, the Nether Palace will disappear from this world.
Shen Yue followed Jiang Da and walked down the stone steps.
As we went deeper, a strong smell of blood began to fill the secret passage. If you smelled carefully, you could also smell a hint of rotten flesh.
Chen Yue was most familiar with this kind of aura.
The Netherworld Palace is best at two things: one is killing people, and the other is torturing its own people.
After completing their missions every day, the killers would be tortured by their leader when they returned. Before their old wounds could heal, new ones would appear.
Over time, the wound will rot on the body, producing a special smell of decay.
When Shen Yue first arrived at the palace, she had this smell on her body.
Because of this, she often avoided the shadow guards and stayed alone in one place. Only after her wounds healed did she slowly become familiar with the shadow guards.
Now, smelling this suffocating smell, she couldn't help but feel nauseous and almost vomited.
Seeing this, Jiang Da pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.
"It's only been less than half a year since you rebelled against the Netherworld Palace, and you can't smell it anymore? I advise you to cover your mouth and nose. It's even worse inside."
“…Alright.”
Shen Yue responded, but did not take his handkerchief. Instead, she took out her own green handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and tied the face towel on it.
Jiang Da laughed, "Brother Shen is indeed cautious. However, since I am willing to bring you in, I will not use poison on the handkerchief."
"Brother Jiang, you're overthinking it. I'm just not used to using other people's things. If you really want to use poison, this little handkerchief of mine won't be able to stop you, right?"
"That's right."
Jiang Da nodded and continued to lead her inside for a while, and finally arrived at the core area of the Nether Palace.
In the huge stone chamber, hundreds of black-clad killers were grouped in twos, drawing their swords and facing each other. The sword lights crisscrossed and screams were heard one after another. After a while, someone collapsed to the ground and died.
That’s right, just like other killer organizations, each branch of the Nether Palace holds a major assessment every six months, where two people fight against each other until one dies.
Here, there are no friends, only bottom lines and endless killing.
Sometimes, Shen Yue really couldn't understand why this kind of assessment was necessary. After screening half of the people, the so-called "elites" who remained were still killed instantly when performing their tasks.
Instead of wasting time thinking about how to improve your business capabilities.
"Okay, stop it!"
She shouted in a deep voice, and in the blink of an eye she moved to the main seat and sat down.
"Your assessment ends here."
Upon hearing this, the assassins stopped and looked at her, "Where did you come from, you little brat? You told us to stop, so we stopped."
Shen Yue shrugged. "I'm just giving you some good advice. If you want to kill each other, go ahead. I'll just feed the antidote to the bone-eroding powder to the pigs."
As she spoke, she took out a large gourd from her waist and deliberately shook it in front of her.
"Antidote for Bone-Eroding Powder? Are you serious?"
"Yes, explain clearly!"
"Whether it's true or not, you can just try it and find out."
Shen Yue opened the stopper of the gourd, poured out a few pills, and threw them into the hands of several people.
The killers hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed it.
After spitting out the black blood, they took a few breaths and finally smiled with gratitude.
A man said happily, "The energy in my body has never been so smooth. This really is the antidote to the Bone-Eroding Powder!"
Upon hearing this, the assassins were also very excited and knelt down one after another, "Please give us medicine, sir! If you can save us, we will follow you and will not hesitate to die!"
"A thousand deaths?" Shen Yue sneered.
The killers of the Netherworld Palace are all pitiful people. Not to mention dying a thousand times, they don't even want to die once, otherwise they wouldn't kneel down and beg for medicine.
"I don't need you to die a thousand times. Take this, one for each of you. After you eat them, get out of here!"
As she spoke, she suddenly raised the gourd and threw it into the air.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly flew out from the darkness, grabbed the gourd, and landed steadily in front of Shen Yue.
"Are you worthy enough to call me Laozi in front of me?"
Shen Yue raised her eyelids and looked at the man in front of her.
He is tall and strong, wearing the same clothes as Codename Six. He should be the person in charge of the Nether Palace headquarters.
She laughed, "It's really not appropriate for me to be your father. I have to be your grandfather."
"Asshole!"
The man was so angry that his face turned blue and red, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he raised his palm to kill Shen Yue.
But at this moment, a punch landed on his chest, knocking him two feet away.
Jiang Da retracted his fist and met his gaze. "Qiao Lao Si, stop it. I will ask Brother Shen for an antidote for you."
"Antidote? Hahaha!"
Qiao Laosi collapsed on the ground, holding his chest, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Do you think the Qianji poison in our bodies is as easy to cure as the bone-eroding powder? That poison can only be cured by the legendary black mandala, but have you ever seen a black mandala in Daqi? It's useless. That old witch never thought of letting us go. If I can't get the antidote, no one else can!"
After saying that, he raised his palm and smashed the gourd into powder in the blink of an eye.
The killers were instantly furious as their chance of survival vanished into thin air.
"We're out of antidote!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
Everyone's eyes were wide with anger, and they raised their swords frantically and surrounded them.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Laosi suddenly jumped up and met the attack.
Clink!
The two groups started fighting again.
Shen Yue was too lazy to watch them fight, nor did she want to eat the pastries in the stinky secret room, so she crossed her legs and started chatting with Jiang Da.
"Brother Jiang already knew I would come today?"
Jiang Da shook his head. "I only know that you have a plan to disband the Nether Palace, but I don't know when you will make your move. Just now at the Eighth Prince's Mansion, you came to my aid, and then I realized that you had infiltrated the assassins."
"I see." Shen Yue touched her chin, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Then how did you know that I wanted to disband the Netherworld Palace?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Da couldn't help laughing.
"A few days ago, Miss Cheng started collecting the herbs needed for the Bone-Erosion Powder. Later, she even brazenly brought Bai Yunfei to the Second Division's courtyard to grind the herbs. It would be difficult for me not to notice, right?"
Chen Yue's face was full of black lines. Si Jin was indeed a bit too high-profile.
"So, are you helping me today because of that black mandala?"
Jiang Da shook his head, suddenly stopped smiling, and knelt on one knee.
"Brother Shen, I don't need any antidote. I just hope that when the prince succeeds, he can spare Wan Mei's life."
