"Isn't there any other way?" Li Yuanji asked.
"Of course, high-level martial artists can forcibly erase the essence blood imprint within a spiritual artifact, but that Hidden Serpent martial artist obviously doesn't want to go through that trouble. Killing you directly and taking the ring would be more convenient and easier for him," Ye Feng explained.
Li Yuanji asked bitterly, "Then... what should I do now?"
“Give me the ring, and I can erase the blood imprint on it. Then you can leave Zhongzhou City immediately, stay outside for a few months, and then come back,” Ye Feng said.
Li Yuanji's expression showed some reluctance.
After all, this ring could grant him so-called supernatural abilities, making him a superhuman.
"Your life is the most important thing. You need to think this through carefully," Ye Feng reminded him.
"Okay, I understand!"
Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and nodded, then took the Hidden Serpent Ring off his finger and handed it to Ye Feng.
After receiving the ring, Ye Feng vanished from Li Yuanji's sight as if he had never existed.
The rooftop of Guangyuan Building in Zhongzhou City.
Ye Feng stood on the rooftop, examining the ring in his hand.
In just a moment, Ye Feng understood why this ring granted Li Yuanji such extraordinary abilities.
Because the ring contains the soul of a demon beast, and the ring itself was made from the inner core of that demon beast!
For Li Yuanji, an ordinary person, wearing this ring is equivalent to being possessed by the soul of a demon beast.
The reason why he, Wang Cuicui, and Li Jing have different abilities is because the three rings contain the souls of three different demonic beasts, and the different demonic beasts naturally have different abilities!
After Li Yuanji used that special ability, he had to drink blood, which was equivalent to a sacrifice, offering human blood to the soul of the demon beast!
Having understood all this, Ye Feng's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"The technique used to forge this ring is quite exquisite. It seems that there is a mysterious martial arts organization hidden in Zhongzhou City," Ye Feng remarked.
Night Breeze casually wiped away the blood essence mark from the ring and put it on his finger.
As the blood was dripped to establish the bond, Ye Feng immediately felt a chill run through his body.
This is exactly the feeling brought about by the demonic beast's soul being possessed by the ring!
With a soft hum, Ye Feng used his Dragon Emperor True Qi to completely suppress the demon beast's soul, rendering it unable to affect him at all.
"It's just the soul of a third-grade demon beast, nothing special," Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Just then, an aura appeared.
Ye Feng turned his head to look, only to find that the rooftop was empty except for himself.
"Stop hiding, I've already found you," Night Wind said.
"You're very perceptive. What level of martial artist are you?"
A young man dressed in a black tracksuit appeared quietly and cast a curious glance at Ye Feng.
"My cultivation level is unimportant; what matters is that this ring is now in my hands," Ye Feng said, shaking the ring on his hand.
"Did you steal it from Li Yuanji? It seems you've already bound this ring to yourself with your blood."
The young man smiled and said, "Since you are a martial artist and were able to forcibly erase Li Yuanji's blood essence mark, it means you are quite capable. Would you like to consider joining our Hidden Serpent?"
"What benefits would I get from joining your organization?" Night Wind asked.
"You can obtain martial arts techniques and improve your strength! Of course, the prerequisite is that you must make corresponding contributions to the organization. Only with contributions can you obtain the benefits I mentioned," the man in black replied.
"So, what are the missions of your organization? How difficult are they?" Ye Feng pressed.
"Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you. I'll definitely assign you tasks that you can handle. For example, assassinating some important figure, or gathering intelligence," the man in black said with a smile.
The night breeze is confirmed.
This so-called Hidden Serpent is an assassin organization and intelligence agency!
"What if I refuse?" Night Wind asked.
"Then give me back the ring."
The man in black said without any politeness.
“But I don’t want to join, nor do I want to return the ring to you. What do you suggest?” Night Wind laughed.
"Do you want to die?"
The man in black disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
However, Ye Feng suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed the black-clad man who had approached him after going invisible, breaking his invisibility.
"You're too green to fight me," Ye Feng said coldly.
The man in black looked incredulous, as if he hadn't expected the night wind to be so strong!
"Now, tell me everything you know, don't leave anything out!" Night Wind commanded.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
The man in black said with difficulty, because the night wind was choking him, and he was having trouble breathing!
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that if you don't cooperate with me now, you'll die here!" Ye Feng said coldly.
"I won't……"
The man in black had only uttered three words when Ye Feng suddenly released his neck and pressed his hand against the top of his head.
"If you won't tell me, then I'll see for myself!"
A powerful surge of true energy erupted from Ye Feng's palm and poured into the brain of the man in black.
The black-clad man's memories were being frantically read by the night wind, causing blood to flow from his eyes and nostrils!
Before long, the man in black turned into a corpse!
Ye Feng also obtained the information he wanted through the Soul Searching Technique.
The man in black is named Lin Feng, and he is twenty-four years old.
He also obtained the Hidden Serpent Ring by chance and joined the Hidden Serpent organization, becoming one of its members.
Lin Feng's ability is to become invisible.
However, this kind of invisibility is the most common and ordinary kind. It can only hide the body and cannot hide traces such as breath and footprints.
Meanwhile, Wang Cuicui and Li Jing were killed by Lin Feng.
The reason he didn't leave any traces at the scene was because Lin Feng, having been trained by the Hidden Serpent, possessed extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities. Therefore, he cleaned up all traces at the scene after killing the person.
Removing the internal organs of a murderer is a symbol of the hidden serpent.
In this way, they can create a false impression, making it more difficult for the Dragon Execution Division to investigate the case, while also letting other members of the Hidden Serpent know that it was someone from their organization who took action.
The Hidden Serpent is an organization of about twenty people, of whom only four are true martial artists.
The Hidden Serpent Guild Leader, Vice-President, and Two Elders.
Of these four martial artists, the most powerful is the leader of the Hidden Serpent Guild, a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm.
The vice president is at the peak of the Qi Movement Realm.
Both elders were at the mid-stage of the Qi Movement Realm.
The other members, like Raymond Lam and Li Yuanji, only gained their abilities after acquiring the Hidden Serpent Ring.
