”Take your dirty hands away from me.” Glancing coldly at Li Yun, Zhou Tong squinted his eyes and said coldly.

”Brat, don't be so arrogant. If not for that Grade Seven Spirit Dan of yours, I will kill you right now!” As he bitterly retracted his hand, Li Yun said while clenching his teeth.

”Bring me back to your headquarters. I want to meet your leader.” Completely ignoring Li Yun's evil words, Zhou Tong got up and stretched his limbs, ”Listen carefully, it's the headquarters, not your branch. I can't trust your so-called Twelve Kings.

”Haha, boy, aren't you exposing yourself a little too quickly!” Li Yun suddenly laughed out loud. A dark green curved blade immediately fell into his hands, straight towards Zhou Tong's throat, ”I think you are one of the scouts sent by the dynasty to investigate the location of our headquarters? With just that cultivation of yours, it's impossible for you to refine Grade Seven Pills. I say, all the people in the royal family are idiots, right? I want to use people like you as scouts! ”

Heh heh, if you don't believe me, when I recover my arm and start fighting, I can still refine a Grade Seven Pills for you on the spot. Of course, you can also kill me now, since you have already determined that I am from the royal family, then do it. Instead of getting angry, Zhou Tong laughed and leaned forward, causing the curved blade in Li Yun's hand to land on his skin.

”Come, let's do it. This is a huge gamble, and I'll bet my life against you. Do you dare?” With his expression frozen, a cruel and brutal smile suddenly emerged on Zhou Tong's face. He glared at Li Yun, as if a peerless beast resided within his pitch-black pupils.

” Hehe, maybe I'm being overly suspicious. Brother Mo Li, don't be rash. It's not that I don't trust you. Li Yun's hair stood on end as he was staring at Zhou Tong. Somehow, Li Yun could feel a kind of madness from those deep eyes of his.

”Accept, or reject?” Zhou Tong's finger once again formed a seal, just missing the word ”explode” by a bit, and the Grade Seven Pills would immediately turn into ashes.

Li Yun stared at Zhou Tong, his teeth chattering. After pondering for a moment, Li Yun finally let out a long sigh. ”Fine, I'll take you back to headquarters, but you have to take the sleeping pill and put on the chains of the Crimson Spirit Stones in case you find out where my headquarters is.”

”It's nothing.” Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders, and then waved to the assassins on the treetops, ”Come over and help me out with something.”

Hearing that, the group of assassins all looked at Li Yun, seeing him nod his head, one of them flew over and landed beside him.

Zhou Tong waved his hand and took out a jade box. Looking at its appearance, it was almost the same as the jade box containing the Grade Seven Pills. With a wave of his hand, he threw the jade box into the hands of the killer. Only then did Zhou Tong turn and look at him with a smile: ”This jade box contains healing medicine.

Hearing that, the hitman nodded his head and opened the lid of the jade box. However, no one could see the sneer on Zhou Tong's face.

”Boom!”

A blazing light rose from the jade box. Soon after, the jade box that contained the medicinal pills suddenly exploded, causing a large amount of dust to rise. A moment later, the smoke dissipated. The assassin was only left with a charred corpse under the close proximity of the explosion. The jade box and the dan beads within it had already been turned into ashes.

”You!”

”Oh, I forgot that I also have a ban on jade boxes. Sorry.” Pursing his lips into a smile, Zhou Tong walked to Li Yun in a few steps. He opened his palm and asked, ”Bring it over, I want to cooperate with you on the sleeping pills and shackles.”

Li Yun's actions and warning himself not to attempt to steal the pill were self-evident. In these few short minutes of interaction, Li Yun had deeply sensed Zhou Tong's caution and shrewdness. Without further ado, he signaled his subordinates to bring a white sleeping pill and spirit stone shackle over to Zhou Tong.

”Creak.” ”Creak.”

The sound of the wooden rut turning slowly entered his ears, and Zhou Tong slowly opened his eyes.
