Lin Xiao felt the immense pressure suddenly surge around him. His killing intent condensed in his hand. Not only did an armor formed by condensed killing intent appear on his body, but a military knife also materialized in his right hand.
Lin Xiao drew the military knife and slashed through the void.
The gray world was instantly split open by a gash.
Sunlight poured in.
Lin Xiao squinted. They were actually at the subway exit, and one more step out would lead them into the sunlight, leaving the figures in the shadows with nowhere to hide.
But in the next second, the gash closed, and they were still in the dim subway station, filled with a chilling aura.
"Go."
This person from the shadows clearly had some kind of restriction. He didn't attack, but instead issued an order. The book on Di Qing's chest transformed into a black curtain that enveloped him.
In the next moment, Lin Xiao was expelled from this different, gray world. Before Lin Xiao could react, a shadowy mass directly followed the subway and disappeared.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Lin Xiao roared, his True Dragon Qi erupting!
A golden dragon flew out from his body, and his figure instantly followed. He couldn't let these two escape!
His speed was too great. To ordinary people, it was just a blur of a figure streaking past. By the time they tried to see what it was, they found nothing.
However, it had to be said that Lin Xiao's roar made the few people who had passed him moments before collapse to the ground in fear.
How could they possibly escape?
Lin Xiao's enraged actions inside weren't just physical. He had also left his killing intent there, and even now, he could still sense it.
This was his leverage for tracking them.
However, after he descended, that shadowy mass had already left with the subway.
Lin Xiao did not board the subway.
"Damn it."
Lin Xiao stopped, cursing hatefully.
However, a trace of his True Dragon Qi had followed.
He retracted all his killing intent and calmed down.
Was it unrelated to the Shadow?
Was he from the Shadow, not an assassin?
Could there be such a classification within the Shadow Assassins?
He still had many things he wanted to know.
Lin Xiao swiftly returned home. His phone hadn't stopped ringing along the way. He contacted everyone he could reach, from arranging surveillance to inquiring about information on Shadow Assassins.
Of course, only the Dragon Lord would know about the Shadow Assassins.
"Yes, this person told me he was from the Shadow, not an assassin. I'm guessing that within the Shadow Assassins, besides the well-known Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, there might be something else."
Lin Xiao voiced his speculation.
"My investigation so far indicates that Di Qing, under the instructions of this Shadow, destroyed Zheng Aijia's brain, thus cutting off our crucial lead."
"But he kept emphasizing that the matter involving the Lin family back then had nothing to do with him."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he leaned back on the sofa, contemplating the truth of his words.
"Perhaps, the Lin family's affairs were indeed unrelated to him," the Dragon Lord's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Impossible. If there's no connection, why would he act against Zheng Aijia?"
