Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

At around the same time that Chiron was enjoying his reunion with his dear sister he had not seen in a month, something else at the other side of the clan area was happening.

At the gate into the clan, a cultivator assigned to guard duty just stopped a group of men in full black clothing. His reason for doing this was mostly instinct, but also because these men wore hoodies and only their eyes were in view.

Cultivators were naturally sensitive to danger and this gate guard had seen his own fair share of chaos at the gate. He was merely suspicious about their identities and therefore did not want to allow them into the clan.

Just then, a tall lanky man hurried forward from within the clan. he went straight for the gate. The moment this guard on duty saw him, he greeted him with respect.

After all, the man before him did not have any meaningful cultivation but that did not mean that he was not an important person.

The man that had approached the gate was none other than Leongu. The current most famous blacksmith in the entire Chikitsa clan.

This guard was around the middle stage of the stone rank, but he had to show respect to leongu.

Leongu's skill was recognized by all and his influence also spread beyond the gates of the clan.

"Is there a problem here!?" Leongu asked the guard authoritatively.

"No sir! it's not really a problem. These men claim to be blacksmiths but refuse to show their identities. According to the clan laws, I can't..."

"You can't what!? let my people that are going to help me forge a brand new sword for the chief against the upcoming Gathering of the sword clans?"

The moment the guard heard that he visibly became flustered. The Gathering of the sword clans was a big event that saw the union of the sword clans come together to compete amongst one another and share resources.

It was practically one of the most important events in the whole clan. The worse part is that it only came about only once in a while. For the preparations of the event, it was normal for guests to start arriving at least three years before time, just to ensure that they were adequately prepared for the event.

A famous blacksmith like leongu having foreign blacksmiths come to help him forge swords was totally normal. In fact, he had even said that the sword he was forging was for the clan chief.

The guard's attitude towards the men went a full three sixty degrees.

"I'm very sorry sirs. I was not informed about this ahead of time. Please forgive me." He immediately allowed them to pass.

These men were about ten in number.

Leongu thanked the guard and the masked men followed him into the clan to a private residence he had arranged for them.

....

On getting into the prepared home, One of the masked men stepped forward to Leongu, "this was not the plan. You were late. Any later than that and that guard would have sounded the alarm for our arrival. It was your idea for us to come in the daytime so as to reduce suspicion. If we were caught, it would not have been good. You are aware that our speciality lies in the dark."

Leongu smiled a bit in an apologetic manner, "Please forgive me Iron Stab. I know how Members of the Dark Dagger do their things. It's just that I got carried away making your weapons as requested to your specifications. Unfortunately, I was not able to sneak in your weapons like last time."

Leongu waved his hand and his apprentice walked into the room with a bag in hand.

He opened it and all types of daggers were displayed before the men.

The man talking to Leongu known by his code name Iron stab stepped forward and picked one of the weirdly curved daggers.

"Hmmm! not bad. I see that your fame for forging is within reason. After this mission, I would not mind putting word for you with the organization to let you take some of our weapon forging requests."

Leongu's eyes brightened. The Dark Dagger was an organization from a very big and influential clan. Having to make weapons for them would ensure that his fame and connections grew. Also, the allure of money was naturally irresistible to any businessman.

"Last time you were here, you could not kill the target because he had been hiding in the house of Elder Ellen," Leongu shook his head.

"Yes!" Iron stab nodded, "We had underestimated that woman. Her manor's security was really tight, and I lost one of my men at her hands. On top of that, we do not have any assassins at the copper rank with us. Since the target is a normal human being, the highest rank that the organization sent for this mission is at the third stage of the wood rank. It couldn't be helped."

Leongu nodded his head. His influence with the assassination Organization was not that great. The only reason they had even taken to his request was that the target was a Tamashi.

And it was common knowledge that the sword clan could use the Tamashi as a terrible weapon. After all, it had happened before. Even though it was hundreds of years ago, the damage at that time was so severe that it had made for a big clan like the Dagger clan to allow the sword clans their peace.

It was this peace that had allowed the sword clans to flourish so much.

The existence of the Tamashi was a major barrier stopping the Dagger clan from invading the sword clan territory again and enjoying this land of milk and honey.

After all, The Chikitsa clan sat on a dormant volcano that was a rich source of incredible cultivation herbs.

This was land that had entered the eyes of the Dagger clan for many generations.

However, even though the sword Clans and the Dagger clan

"But not to worry! This time around, it will be different," Leongu assured Iron stab. "Elder Ellen was seen taking the boy back to his home. I also have word that the Elders are having a meeting later this night to talk about the Gathering of the sword clans that is coming up in two years' time. Preparations are already being made for the event. Aleen would not be around. This would be the perfect time to assassinate the boy."

Iron stab nodded. "Good! Tonight, Chiron chivalry dies..."
