Did you aim to annihilate the entire Sky Net assassin organization by yourself?
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Although he hadn't had much contact with the assassin organization Sky Net, he was very aware of its strength.
As a giant among global assassin organizations, Sky Net possessed the largest number of top-tier assassins worldwide!
Furthermore, it now appeared that Sky Net was supported by the Bright Hall behind the scenes, making it even harder to eradicate.
And what was Gu Yue's strength?
Ye Cangtian estimated that her strength barely reached that of an S-class assassin. While this level of power was enough to deal with any single assassin organization, attempting to destroy Sky Net would be akin to sending herself to her death!
Seeing his unoptimistic demeanor, Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said firmly, "This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it. At worst, I'll die. Anyway, there's nothing in this world worth my lingering on!"
"Who says there's nothing worth lingering on?"
Seeing her look at him, Ye Cangtian grinned, "What if you have a sister?"
Gu Yue frowned, then shook her head.
She had no family. Even though she did have a sister once, she had died in the disaster that befell her family years ago. Thus, she no longer had any relatives in this world.
Seeing her disbelief, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Let me show you something!"
He took out a jade pendant from his person and handed it to Gu Yue.
"This is the one I gave you!" Gu Yue glanced at it. She had worn this jade pendant for many years, so she recognized it at a glance.
One side of this jade pendant was engraved with "Gu," and the other side was engraved with "Yue." This was also why she remembered her name.
"Yes, it's the jade pendant you gave me!"
Ye Cangtian smiled mysteriously, then took out another jade pendant and placed it in her hand, "Take a good look at this one. Do you recognize it?"
Gu Yue was stunned. They were identical!
With both jade pendants in her hand, they were indistinguishable. Both had the character "Gu" on the front.
Turning over the backs of both jade pendants, one had "Yue," while the other had "Qin."
Upon seeing this, Gu Yue's expression changed. It was as if she had thought of something, her breathing became rapid, and she asked with a trembling voice, "How do you have this?"
"I know a girl named Chuantian Meihui. She was adopted by the Chuantian family from a young age and secretly trained as an assassin. Later, she discovered that the Chuantian family that adopted her was actually the enemy that had annihilated her entire clan."
"She only later learned that her real name was Gu Qin!"
Ye Cangtian looked at Gu Yue and then chuckled, "So she is your lost sister!"
"My sister?"
Gu Yue murmured, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with mist that condensed into tears, which slowly fell.
"I actually have a sister! She's not dead..."
If Ye Cangtian had only spoken his words, she might not have believed him. But the jade pendants couldn't lie. Especially since she and her sister indeed had these two special jade pendants back then.
One was engraved with "Gu Yue," and the other with "Gu Qin."
Only she in this world knew this secret.
So, at this moment, she believed him!
...
No one knew how much time had passed!
Gu Yue looked up at Ye Cangtian, her expression somewhat complicated. This man who had once hunted her countless times had not only saved her multiple times.
He had also found her long-lost sister for her!
She took a deep breath, looked at the two jade pendants in her hand again, and murmured, "Is she doing well now?"
"She's doing great! I persuaded her... ahem, I persuaded her, and now she's working as a bodyguard for my wife!"
After saying that, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but sigh, "You two truly are sisters. Not only do you look extremely similar, but you both inadvertently became assassins!"
And one more thing, both of these sisters had tried to kill him!
This made him feel speechless.
"So, you should stop thinking about annihilating Sky Net. Stay alive, go back and see your sister. Moreover, perhaps the ones who destroyed your family were that so-called Chuantian family. Shouldn't you two sisters unite to seek revenge from them?"
In Ye Cangtian's opinion, Gu Yue going to deal with Sky Net alone was purely suicidal.
Compared to Sky Net, that Chuantian family was easier to deal with!
"Mm."
Gu Yue nodded silently, then put away the two jade pendants. She had also thought it through now. The evil organization Sky Net was definitely going to be eradicated, but not now.
She wanted to get out alive, then meet her long-lost sister, and also, to find out the enemies from back then and get revenge!
"Heh, that's more like it!"
Ye Cangtian smiled, then pointed to the bronze mask placed beside Gu Yue, "From now on, wear this temporarily in the ruins! This mask is the symbol of a member of the Dark Association, which will cause you less trouble in the ruins!"
This bronze mask was one Ye Cangtian had used before. Later, after Lord Purple Dragon appointed him as a Profound-grade Steward, this bronze mask was not recalled. Now, it could be used by Gu Yue.
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian, as a Profound-grade Steward, had the authority to activate Huang Jiu's bronze mask.
A Profound-grade Steward was qualified to recruit Yellow-grade members, and even the Dark Association would not interfere or suspect this.
Gu Yue had heard of the Dark Association. Although she was curious how Ye Cangtian was involved with the Dark Association, she didn't ask too many questions at the moment.
...
Originally, Ye Cangtian had planned to investigate the entire commercial street. He hadn't expected to encounter Gu Yue, who was facing a crisis, which had delayed him considerably.
However, Gu Yue was very familiar with the entire commercial street and even many surrounding areas.
She had traveled to many places in the city to assassinate the young master of Sky Net. As an assassin skilled in stealth, she hadn't encountered any other significant dangers besides the failed assassination.
"The entire city has four city gates, and almost every city has a plaza and residential areas. Many people entered the city initially, but due to the unknown reason of the stone figures, many forces died at the hands of the stone figures."
"Currently, there are nearly a thousand organizations of various sizes hidden in the commercial street, with several major forces occupying nearly half of the numbers."
For example, the Tam Mercenary Group. More than two hundred elites from this mercenary group entered, and although some were lost in the wilderness, there were still at least over 150 people remaining.
There was also the Caesar Mercenary Group, with about a hundred people. Gu Yue hadn't encountered the Pandora Mercenary Group yet, but Ye Cangtian knew that Zhao Ziyang had dozens of people.
In addition, there was Sky Net, with a group of top-tier assassins, numbering in the dozens!
Other armed organizations, some of which had a large number of members, managed to survive until they reached the commercial street. Other armed forces and organizations had formed temporary alliances, and their numbers were also considerable.
Coupled with the lone wolves lurking in the dark to fish in troubled waters, out of a scale of nearly ten thousand people, only about a thousand remained after just two to three days.
It was possible that some people were lost in the wilderness, but it had to be said that it was indeed too dangerous for ordinary people to enter the ruins, with a very high mortality rate!
"Is that the City Lord's Mansion ahead?"
Listening to Gu Yue's narration, Ye Cangtian was stunned.
Gu Yue nodded, "I heard them say that it is indeed called the City Lord's Mansion. It is the most central place in the entire city, and the goal of the various forces and Sky Net is the City Lord's Mansion!"
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile. The goal of all parties was the City Lord's Mansion? It seemed that the real treasures were inside, rather than the crystals outside!
"But there are so many stone figure patrol teams in this commercial street. Haven't they thought of a way to deal with them?"
If these stone figures in the commercial street were not dealt with, it would not be easy for these people to go to the City Lord's Mansion, but these forces seemed not to be in a hurry at all, which made Ye Cangtian a bit puzzled.
Gu Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "They are waiting, but I don't know what they are waiting for."
Waiting for what?
Ye Cangtian touched his chin, then shrugged. Why should he be in a hurry if they weren't?
