Chapter 1068 The Dark World
Clearly, Feng Wu’s threat worked, and the shorty had no choice but to tell her how to find his organization.“Go to the grocery store at the end of the third alley on East Avenue and ask for Guan Seven. He’ll show you in, but you have to be there before dawn.”
Feng Wu looked up at the sky and saw that it happened to be the right time. She nodded a little, then went back to her room.
“What about these two?” Chang San’s voice came from behind her.
Feng Wu smirked. “They tried to kill me; killing them would be too good for them. Just leave them in the Taiyi Formation. They’ll become human fertilizer.”
Human fertilizer?
Both the assassins who were still alive stared at Feng Wu in disbelief.
What did she mean by “human fertilizer”?
Feng Wu smiled. Exactly what it sounded like.
The Taiyi Formation consumed a lot of spiritual essence. Although she could get it from all those top-grade spiritual stones underground, the spiritual essence which these two had would work as well.
Feng Wu put on her disguise, and soon, she was unrecognizable.
Chang San stared at her in astonishment, unable to recognize this ordinary, sallow teenage girl who looked no different from the rest of the crowd.
Feng Wu waved at Chang San. “You don’t need to come with me. I’ll be exposed if you show up.”
Although the news hadn’t gotten around yet, once everyone learned that Chang San was the captain of her guard, they would easily make the connection.
Chang San asked, “Are you sure?”
Feng Wu waved him off. “It’s fine. Stay here. No one will recognize me when I look like this.”
Convinced, Chang San nodded.
In the dark, Feng Wu moved as nimbly as a cat and soon disappeared into the night.
At the end of the third alley on East Avenue, there was a small orange lamp.
Feng Wu didn’t know that assassins could run their business in an actual store, let alone on East Avenue, the busiest street. That was interesting.
Feng Wu was intrigued by the mysterious boss of the Flying Guillotine.
Following the shorty’s instructions, Feng Wu knocked on the door.
Three long knocks and two short ones, repeated three times.
After the knocking, a quiet voice asked on the other side of the door, “It’s the middle of the night. Who is it?”
It sounded like a standard question, but it contained some secret information.
Answer incorrectly and one would only be welcomed by an ordinary shop assistant.
The correct answer, on the other hand, would lead you to an assassin organization.
Feng Wu used a husky voice. “I’ve come from afar and I ask for a bowl of water.”
It had to be those exact words in that exact order.
As expected —
The door opened with a creak after those words.
Feng Wu didn’t look around after she walked in, but only glanced at both sides out of the corners of her eyes.
The layout looked like a grocery store. The shelves were lined with daily supplies and looked perfectly normal.
But then, a young assistant went up to Feng Wu. “Miss, what are you looking for?”
That was the second code.
Luckily, Chang San had interrogated those two assassins separately. After questioning them repeatedly, he only gave the information to Feng Wu after making sure that they gave the same answer.
“Do you have Lotus Silk of Ice Silkworms?” Feng Wu asked with an indifferent look on her face.
The young man remained passive as he said to Feng Wu, “We don’t display such precious goods on the shelves here. Please come with me.”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. She was getting somewhere.
Following the young man, Feng Wu saw him raise a curtain at an opening, so she followed him in.
One moment, they were in a grocery store that smelled like daily life. The next second —
