The next day, Liu Fei, under the control of the evil spirit, returned to the Azure Flower Pavilion, continuing her role as the top courtesan. The evil spirit used Liu Fei's status and influence to start making connections with the powerful figures in Qingyang City. The nights in Qingyang City were vibrant with lights, and the Azure Flower Pavilion was bustling with music and dance.
In a luxurious private room, several elegantly dressed nobles were chatting and laughing. Liu Fei swayed gracefully, holding a wine glass as she approached, her eyes sparkling with allure. She smiled and sat beside a plump official, saying in a soft voice, "Lord Zhang, what brings you to our Azure Flower Pavilion today? I've been waiting for you for quite some time."
Lord Zhang laughed boisterously, wrapping his arm around Liu Fei's waist: "Haha, Liu Fei, I've been quite busy these days. It's rare for me to have some free time to relax. I heard you've got some new attractions here; I wonder if you could show me something interesting?"
Liu Fei giggled lightly and filled a glass for Lord Zhang: "You're joking, Lord Zhang. There are no new attractions here, just some little tricks to amuse you. Come, let me toast you."
As she toasted, Liu Fei discreetly scanned the other nobles in the room with seductive glances, observing their expressions and actions. Lord Zhang drank from his glass and patted Liu Fei's hand with satisfaction: "Good, good! The food and drink at your Azure Flower Pavilion truly live up to their reputation."
The evil spirit within Liu Fei cursed angrily: "Li Ye! It's bad enough being a woman; now I have to serve drinks and play the courtesan! I'll fight you to the end!" But on the surface, Liu Fei maintained her charming smile and continued drinking with Lord Zhang.
She leaned closer to Lord Zhang's ear and softly asked, "I heard there have been many significant events happening in the city lately. Do you have any news to share with me? I'd love to broaden my horizons."
Lord Zhang, slightly tipsy, squinted his eyes and said proudly: "Hmph, Liu Fei, you may not know this, but Qingyang City is about to undergo some changes. General Gao Zhendong has been extremely busy lately. I heard that the Shadow Assassin's base was destroyed; Gao Zhendong has been overwhelmed these past few days."
Liu Fei continued gently asking: "Oh? The Shadow Assassin?"
Lord Zhang shook his wine glass with a hint of pride: "It’s said that there are some major moves being made from above. The Shadow Assassin is a crucial ally of Lord Liu Zhang; naturally, there will be consequences for its destruction. Gao Zhendong will find it hard to escape responsibility this time."
The evil spirit within Liu Fei couldn't help but curse silently: "This corrupt official is so foolish; only now does he realize that base was taken down." But on the surface, Liu Fei still smiled sweetly and continued drinking: "Lord Zhang is truly well-informed; I admire you greatly. Why not have another drink with me?"
Lord Zhang laughed heartily and continued drinking while Liu Fei secretly noted down this information in her mind.
As night deepened, Liu Fei finally sent off the last guest. The evil spirit controlling Liu Fei's body returned to the room, sneering to itself, "This act is exhausting, but the information from these fools is somewhat useful."
At that moment, Li Ye was in the midst of his training. He sensed the fluctuations of the evil spirit in his sea of consciousness and smiled lightly, "Evil spirit, you really... look charming as a woman!"
The evil spirit glared in frustration and retorted, "Kid, are you looking to shorten your life? Do you believe I won't destroy you?"
Li Ye quickly chuckled and said to the evil spirit, "Hahaha, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Thank you for being willing to dress up as a woman for the sake of Qingyang City’s citizens!"
The evil spirit sarcastically replied in Li Ye's sea of consciousness, "Kid, don't get too cocky. I don't care about Qingyang City; as long as you're alive, that's all that matters. Don't get yourself killed, or else I'll really be at a loss."
Li Ye's lips curled into a determined smile. "Don't worry, I won't let myself die. This time, I'll give Gao Zhendong a little surprise."
Meanwhile, Gao Zhendong had just learned that the Shadow Assassin's base had been wiped out with no survivors left. This news left him feeling frantic and extremely angry. He was raging in his residence while his subordinates stood by nervously, not daring to speak.
"You bunch of useless fools!" Gao Zhendong roared, kicking over a nearby table, sending teacups and documents scattering across the floor. "A base this large has been destroyed, and I only found out today with not a single survivor left! What have you all been doing?"
One subordinate stepped forward timidly and said in a low voice, "General, I have already sent someone to investigate, but... but..."
"But what!" Gao Zhendong exploded in fury, grabbing the subordinate by the collar and lifting him up. "What good are you all to me!"
Saying this, Gao Zhendong violently threw the subordinate to the ground, drew his sword from his waist, and stabbed it through the man's chest. Blood splattered everywhere, hitting Gao Zhendong's face. He looked at the lifeless body on the ground with a cruel smile.
"Useless trash; your fate will be the same as his!" Gao Zhendong coldly scanned his other subordinates, who all lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to meet his gaze.
Gao Zhendong wiped the blood from his face and gritted his teeth, saying, "I must find out who did this." He turned and walked toward the study, commanding someone to bring him the latest intelligence.
As he flipped through the reports, Gao Zhendong's gaze fell on a list. Most of the targets recently hunted by the Shadow Assassin had already been eliminated, with only a few names remaining unchecked. His eyes lingered on one name, and his brow furrowed slightly: "Yan Yuchen?"
He ordered a portrait of Yan Yuchen to be brought to him. Looking at the woman in the portrait, he murmured, "A remnant of Feiyan Villa? Could it be her?"
Gao Zhendong pondered for a moment, and suddenly a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "Whoever it is, daring to touch the Shadow Assassin means they are an enemy of Lord Liu and my enemy as well. Send out orders to capture Yan Yuchen and all those still alive on this list—alive or dead!"
He waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates and stood alone in the study, coldly gazing out at the night sky, gritting his teeth as he said, "No matter who you are, since you dare to oppose me, I will make you pay!"
Soon, the wanted notice was issued. Fortunately, Li Ye and his group were hiding in Wang Meng's Bat Gang Base. Wang Meng, having witnessed the power of the malevolent spirit Li Ye, naturally took great care not to neglect or leak any information. Betraying Li Ye? Impossible! Who would betray someone so powerful unless they were looking for death?
The only potential threat was Yan Yuchen; she could not show her face on the streets since her wanted portrait was posted everywhere. Meanwhile, Li Ye looked at the other names on the wanted notice with a slight smirk. He thought to himself that an enemy's enemy is a friend! Since these individuals had survived being hunted by the Shadow Assassin, they must possess strength and have grievances against Liu Zhang. Perhaps one day they could form an alliance!
