Chapter 1003 -489: Discovered? The Master of the Shadow Tower?
The Black Robed Man seemingly hadn’t expected Luo Yao’s reaction to be so swift; his figure hesitated, and then he was pierced through the chest by the silver needle.
“You…” A trace of terror flashed through the eyes of the Black Robed Man; he seemed not to have imagined that he would be wounded by someone so young.
But Luo Yao didn’t give him any chance. His figure moved, and in an instant, he was in front of the Black Robed Man.
With a gentle push of his palm, he pierced straight through the man’s chest and then, with a forceful grip, he pulled the silver needle out from the man’s chest.
A hint of unwillingness appeared in the eyes of the Black Robed Man; then his body stiffened in place, completely devoid of life.
“An existence at the Viscera Refinement Initial Realm doesn’t count as a strong one…”
Luo Yao looked at the Black Robed Man lying on the ground and couldn’t help but shake his head silently.
He knew in his heart that although this Black Robed Man was one of Shadow Tower’s men, his strength was not formidable.
Such a person wasn’t even worth considering in Luo Yao’s eyes.
After taking care of the Black Robed Man, Luo Yao searched his body and found a Jade Pendant and a Token.
This Jade Pendant and Token were the insignia of Shadow Tower, identical to the one he had previously obtained from the old man.
“So that’s how it is.” Looking at the Jade Pendant and Token in his hands, Luo Yao’s mind suddenly clarified.
He had suspected that the old man was from Shadow Tower, but had no evidence until now, finally understanding that Shadow Tower’s men had always been using this method to track and kill.
They marked their targets by leaving a Jade Pendant and Token, directing others to kill the target.
After every successful kill, the assassin would receive a certain reward and merit.
This method was extremely covert and efficient, and it further cemented Luo Yao’s resolve to eradicate this organization.
“The next step is to lure more members of Shadow Tower into the trap.”
Luo Yao thought silently to himself.
So, he returned to his dwelling to ponder how to use the Jade Pendant to lure more members of Shadow Tower.
…
The next morning, Luo Yao left his dwelling and headed toward the workshop area.
He went there not to buy or sell goods, but to find a person called “Old Ghost.”
Old Ghost was an information broker with a lot of intelligence in his hands; Luo Yao wanted to purchase some information about Shadow Tower from him.
After circling the workshop area, Luo Yao finally found Old Ghost in a corner.
Old Ghost appeared quite aged, his face lined with wrinkles, looking every bit the part of an old man.
“Old Ghost, I hear you’ve got some good stuff here?” Luo Yao walked up and got straight to the point.
Old Ghost glanced up at Luo Yao, a cautious look flashing in his eyes.
“Young man, don’t talk nonsense; I certainly don’t have any ‘good stuff,'” Old Ghost said.
Luo Yao knew that Old Ghost was slick, and getting information out of him wouldn’t be easy.
So, he took out the Jade Pendant directly.
“You recognize this, don’t you?” Luo Yao asked.
Old Ghost’s eyes revealed a flicker of terror; he took the Jade Pendant, examined it carefully, and his complexion immediately turned pale.
“You… are you from Shadow Tower?” Old Ghost asked with fright.
Luo Yao laughed and shook his head.
“I am not from Shadow Tower, but I recognize this Jade Pendant.”
“You should know its origins and purpose, right?” Luo Yao said.
Old Ghost fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
“If you give me some information about Shadow Tower, I might consider letting you go,” Luo Yao said indifferently.
Old Ghost looked at Luo Yao, silently sensing the distinct aura of a superior emanating from him.
He knew that if he didn’t cooperate, it could lead to fatal trouble.
So, he shared what he knew about Shadow Tower with Luo Yao.
Most members of Shadow Tower were born assassins and spies, each possessing exceptional strength and a wealth of experience.
Their influence was quite extensive, not only holding a high reputation and status in the martial world but also wielding some power within the court.
It was said that behind them were even more powerful backers and support.
After hearing Old Ghost’s information, Luo Yao fell into deep thought.
Although he had previously guessed that Shadow Tower wasn’t an ordinary adversary, he hadn’t realized they had such backgrounds.
It seemed that eliminating them wouldn’t be an easy task.
Nevertheless, Luo Yao was not someone who gave up easily. He knew that if he proceeded cautiously, he would find Shadow Tower’s weakness and eradicate it completely.
“Young man, I’ve told you everything I know, what do you plan to do with me?” Old Ghost cautiously asked.
Luo Yao looked at Old Ghost and spoke indifferently, “Although you are not a good person, you haven’t offended me, so I will not kill you.”
Having said that, he turned and left. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Old Ghost stood in place, exhaling a long breath of relief.
…
After obtaining some information about Shadow Tower from Old Ghost, Luo Yao did not rush to act.
Instead, he returned to his dwelling, began to carefully analyze the information, and tried to find out the weak point of Shadow Tower.
To completely root out this so-called Shadow Tower.
After analyzing for a whole day, Luo Yao finally discovered a fatal weak point of Shadow Tower.
This weakness was their source of information.
Shadow Tower was so powerful largely because of their vast sources of intelligence.
