Chapter 290: The Ace of Assassins: Shadow Shining Stab!
```
"Legend (Gold) is about to be born!"
Good.
Great.
It was the giant skeleton that performed the Resurrection Technique.
Yet I have the prestige to take!
It must have been Rosalia who said something in Hell to someone else.
—She thought Baxter was the one who resurrected her!
Shen Ye felt a bit embarrassed.
It was my fault to always cause a stir in Hell, but being too handsome is a helplessness bestowed by the heavens, there's simply no helping it.
To be honest—
I'm also quite curious what effect "Vampire Kid" will have when it reaches Gold Rank!
As Shen Ye pondered, Rosalia opened her eyes.
She got up from the ground, kneeled on one knee, and gave a grateful salute:
"My Lord!"
"Hmm, I have something here that I need your help with," Shen Ye said.
"I will do my utmost to serve you!" Rosalia said.
"I'm not convenient to go to Eternal Night City right now, so you go on my behalf and investigate the recently deceased powerhouses, look for any suspicious clues among their belongings—
—The bigger the commotion, the better."
"Yes!" Rosalia said.
"Right, take this with you."
Shen Ye handed her the insignia of the Five Desires Guard Commander.
—And with that, he entrusted all the work and complications to this grateful subordinate.
"One more thing—if you find any information in Eternal Night City, tell Lord Mo Ga Ru directly."
"Understood."
Rosalia took the insignia and immediately left the secret passage.
She employed the assassin's Shadow Skills and swiftly left the Human Territory, heading towards the direction of the Undead Empire.
"Will she be up to it?" the giant skeleton said, uncertain.
Shen Ye replied, "At least the direction I've given is correct, plus she's quite tenacious and won't give up easily. I guess—
"There's an eighty percent chance she'll obtain the relevant secrets and then tell Mo Ga Ru directly, which will further enhance the persuasiveness."
—"Mo Ga Ru needs to be a bit more cautious of the Nine Aspects."
In Eternal Night City, most of the strong who died recently were due to the fates trajectory scattering attack of the "Banner of the Nest."
The Banner of the Nest would attack all of Tian Luo's companions.
Not even Mo Ga Ru escaped.
So how could Tian Luo's subordinates stand a chance?
As long as there's any trace from Tian Luo's men, Rosalia, with her status as the Captain of the Five Desires Guards, will surely be able to unravel it!
At that time, Mo Ga Ru might start having some doubts.
As for myself—
"Earth Mother, can you locate Karula's position?" Shen Ye asked.
"She is my messenger, I can sense her," Earth Mother said.
"Good!"
—Let's go save Karula then.
After some consideration, it's still necessary to save her first despite all difficulties before anything else.
Having obtained the Chaotic Heaven Gate inheritance, the old master once said, Jade Terrace is the strongest weapon nurtured by the planet to fight against the king species.
... I must obtain the Jade Terrace!
Shen Ye couldn't help but recall Mo Ga Ru's words:
"When I obtain it—" Read latest chapters at empire
```
"The survival of the Death Planet hangs in the balance of my thoughts."
—Hurry up!
We must seize the Jade Terrace before they discover everything!
Shen Ye stepped out of the secret passage and surveyed his surroundings.
The troops were scattered sparsely across the field, and each one looked rather relaxed.
It seemed there had been no recent battles.
As Shen Ye was about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of a hand extending from around the corner, making a subtle "love you" gesture.
Shadow Brotherhood!
Shen Ye slapped his forehead and walked towards the hand.
He saw an ordinary-looking man standing at the corner, who whispered:
"Lord Saint Peiqi."
"Hmm, what is it?" Shen Ye asked.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, along with the diplomatic envoy's caravan, has already crossed into the territory of the Undead and should now be in Eternal Night City."
"This journey is fraught with peril, do you want to make contact with His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"I was just on my way to lend the Prince a hand!" Shen Ye responded solemnly.
The man immediately showed a look of joy.
"Wait for you!"
"Is there something else?"
"I have a special assassin operation kit for you to take with you!"
A leather bag was placed in front of Shen Ye, then opened to reveal the dagger and horse whistle inside.
Shen Ye took a deep breath, showing a look of nostalgia, and said softly:
"Assassin kit, huh..."
"Yes, it's the standard assassin battle kit with a Horse Dagger suite," the man said seriously, making another "love you" gesture. "This set was just manufactured; the tactical camouflage dagger is good for two years, and the horse just graduated from drama school."
Shen Ye pondered, "Forget the horse; after all, riding a human horse in the Undead Empire is too conspicuous, but I'll keep the dagger—do you have any extra daggers?"
"Yes, my lord, how many do you need?"
"Four."
"Here, we all rest easy knowing you're ensuring the Prince's safety! The Shadow Society blesses you!"
"Thank you."
Shen Ye took four tactical camouflage daggers and returned a "love you" gesture to the man before slowly backing away.
He slipped into the dense forest along a small path and laid out the four tactical camouflage daggers on the ground.
A faint light appeared, coalescing into words:
"Tactical Camouflage Dagger."
"Special category item, green (excellent) quality."
"How to use: lick it."
"Death Camouflage: When you play dead, you will appear as if you truly died."
"Poison Coating: Coated with a special poison, just a casual lick will put you into a feigned death (the poison has a shelf life of two years)."
It certainly brought back memories.
When he first came to Nightmare World and got in touch with the Shadow Brotherhood, he was recommended such treasures.
Now it seemed, for an assassin, these were indeed good things.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought them out at this moment.
So—
"Integrate."
Shen Ye spoke softly.
The faint light quickly gathered into more characters:
"You have activated the Purple Entry 'Vampire Kid's' power."
