" hehe, but have you ever thought that there's a high possibility that you won't be able to return after coming to our stronghold alone? "
black robe sneered and stared at long chen coldly.
this was a woman who looked very delicate and beautiful, but her eyes were filled with crazy killing intent, as if she was a demon who had escaped from hell.
"kid, including me, there are seven people in our stronghold.
i'm not bragging, but the seven of us are all quite powerful in the field of martial dao.
all of us together can easily kill you. so, you're walking right into the trap?"
the deputy master stared at long chen. he seemed to be smiling, but he was actually very cold.
such a ruthless character had killed too many people, and his viciousness was too strong. ordinary people would feel uncomfortable just by looking at him.
but this didn't affect long chen. he sat down, not panicking at all.
"i'm guessing that all of your people have gone out to carry out a mission, so there's only the two of you here."
long chen said calmly.
"you think we can't kill you if we join forces?"
deputy master sneered and gave black robe a look.
then, the two of them suddenly started fighting, one on the left and the other on the right, and threw a punch at long chen.
long chen raised his left and right hands at the same time and grabbed black robe and deputy master's wrists at the same time.
after their wrists were caught, the two of them hurriedly tried to break free.
however, long chen's strength was like an iron pincher, preventing them from breaking free.
crack.
after two cracking sounds, their bones were crushed by long chen.
hiss.
black robe gasped in pain.
deputy master's face was also twisted, but he didn't groan in pain.
not a single sound!
this surprised long chen.
this showed that the people of the shadow palace were well-trained and had experienced very cruel hardships. so even if their bones were broken, they could still hold back and not cry out in pain.
peng peng!
long chen slapped them one by one, knocking them out.
then, long chen found something and tied them up. he sealed some of their major acupuncture points so that they wouldn't be able to break free even if they woke up.
after doing all this, long chen rummaged through the office.
however, other than a password-protected safe, there was nothing else of value.
long chen lowered his head and looked at the locked suitcase. he looked inside and found an account book.
long chen guessed that this account book recorded many of the completed or current tasks of the shadow palace.
"put down the box."
at this moment, deputy master woke up. seeing long chen holding the password-protected box, his face changed.
"what's inside this?"
long chen asked on purpose.
"inside are some of my personal belongings, not worth much. if you need money, i ... i can find a way to give you a few hundred million."
the second palace master said in a deep voice.
"a few hundred million?"
long chen laughed. " you're really rich, sir. you're asking for a few hundred million so casually. it seems that you've killed a lot of people, haven't you? "
"mr. long, we're in this line of work. this is our profession."
the second palace master gritted his teeth and said.
"there's an account book inside, right? tell me the password, and i'll let you die a little easier."
long chen said indifferently.
"how did you know?"
" what? " the second palace master's face darkened. " could it be that there's really a traitor in the palace of shadows? "
"isn't he the one beside you?" "otherwise, how would i know if you put the account books in the password-protected box?" long chen said.
"black robe ..."
the second palace master gritted his teeth in hatred.
black robe slowly woke up. seeing the expression of the second palace master, she was completely dumbfounded.
" you damn traitor! you even told long chen where you kept the account books. i can tell you seriously that none of your family will be able to escape. they will be accounted for. "
the second palace master said fiercely.
"you think i'll be afraid?" "it has nothing to do with me if everyone in the world dies," black robe said disdainfully."it's your stupidity that has changed my opinion of you."
"you ..."
the second palace master's face twitched. he was extremely angry.
this was exactly what long chen wanted. he wanted to make the old man feel aggrieved and tormented his mind.
meanwhile, long chen was trying to open the passcode chest.
seeing this, deputy master shouted, " don't waste your energy. that box is made of special materials. even a bomb can't break it. without the password, you will never be able to open it. "
"is that so?"
long chen smiled.
" hehe, if you let me go, i can show you the account book. otherwise, no one can open it except me. "
the second hallmaster stared at long chen.
"you think too highly of yourself."
long chen extended a finger, and a faint golden light glowed on his fingertip.
he used his fingers to quickly cut the box open.
"how is this possible? that's impossible, absolutely impossible."
the second palace master's expression changed dramatically. he couldn't believe it.
black robe also thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. he blinked his eyes hard and looked again, finally confirming that he was not seeing things.
long chen had used only one finger to cut open the box that couldn't even be blown open.
"i was thinking that if it doesn't open like this, i'll force you to tell me the password, but now it seems that this box isn't that good."
long chen said as he picked up the thick account book.
the second palace master's face turned green. the account book recorded many shocking things. many unsolved cases could be found in this account book.
"if you let me go and return the account book, i'll give you whatever you want."
the second palace master said hurriedly.
"what do you think i'm lacking?" long chen asked.
"i admit that you don't lack money.
how about this, what do you think of black robe's figure? you can take her away and let her be trained by you. i believe that with your charm and power, she will submit to you sooner or later."
the second palace master said in a low voice.
"foolish."
long chen didn't bother to say anything more. he opened the account book and began to read it.
deputy master was extremely anxious, but he couldn't get rid of the restraint. he could only worry.
long chen carefully studied every task recorded in the account book, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
in the end, it was even a shocking sight.
the account book recorded every mission and bounty that the six assassins from the shadow palace had carried out. it was so densely packed that it made one's scalp tingle.
however, what made long chen most angry and shocked was that for the sake of the mission, the shadow palace would kill all their targets, regardless of whether they were kind old people, insensible children, or even babies. they only recognized money and not people. they were extremely cold-blooded and cruel.
such an act infuriated both man and god.
"all of you really deserve to die."
long chen closed the account book.
"then do you really dare to kill me? there are a total of nine halls in the hall of shadows, and we share a common enemy. if you touch me, you're going against the entire hall of shadows, and the hall of shadows will make you pay a painful price at all costs."
the second palace master's voice was gloomy.
even at death's door, he was still using psychological tactics to intimidate others.
however, long chen did not give him any chance.
bang!
long chen's fist smashed down on the deputy master's head!
