Shadow moved without a sound, aiming to enter the tavern and kill the cobbler with overwhelming force.

As an assassin with Combat Power reaching the Bone Realm, Shadow's strength was undeniable. Even if he hadn't awakened his Bone Aspect, as long as he struck first, he could easily take down the cobbler.

The premise was to enter the tavern and act first.

However, just as he was about to take action, the cobbler's gaze turned towards him, at that moment, the cobbler was like a hungry wolf ready to pounce.

Shadow's whole body froze.

As an expert in the Hidden Breath Technique, the cobbler had a Combat Power of only 120.0. Even if he had awakened his Flesh Phase, with evolved flesh and keen perception, it was impossible for him to discover Shadow.

It is worth mentioning that even Yan Fei, as a strong individual of the Bone Realm, at the doorway of the sleeping room, only realized something was wrong after being notified by bracelet information that the protection mission was canceled, and then locked onto him through perception.

What merits does the cobbler have?

To instantly lock onto his presence.

Shadow recalled the earlier events and realized the problem. He watched as Zhang Lingfeng entered the tavern, followed all the way, guarding against Zhang Lingfeng, but not against others.

Perhaps because of this, the cobbler, who was always mindful of the surroundings, noticed him.

But this reason seemed far-fetched, Shadow knew there must be a problem at some point.

Under the cobbler's gaze, he didn't act rashly. Although his Combat Power far surpassed that of the cobbler, in a face-to-face confrontation, even without a sneak attack, he could kill the cobbler with a single blow.

However, the cobbler was sitting five meters behind Zhang Lingfeng at this time.

Shadow and Zhang Lingfeng were forty to fifty meters apart, with a special explosion-proof glass of the tavern in between. Standing outside the tavern, he could see inside clearly through the explosion-proof glass.

Shadow understood that even with superb skills and terrifying physical fitness, in such an environment, he couldn't ensure Zhang Lingfeng's safety while killing the cobbler.

So he quickly connected with the Martial Hall personnel through the Hidden Kill Department.

About a minute later.

Three Martial Hall personnel sitting near the tavern entrance in a fan-shaped formation, had the same information popped up on their bracelets.

The content was simple.

The young high school Martial Dao student in front of the cobbler is a dazzling star of South City, a key protection target, even if they let the cobbler leave, they must ensure the safety of the target.

At that moment, the three of them felt the pressure.

Because the cobbler also looked at them, indicating that all three were exposed.

The atmosphere inside the tavern instantly became extremely tense, the tavern staff also sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly left after serving the dishes.

"Slurp, slurp..."

The cobbler continued to slurp the noodles, pouring sauce onto the noodles, mixing, and eating, as if the mixed noodles before him were the best delicacy in the world.

As a City Guard General, even just for a small area, to be able to escape from Jiangnan Province to Jiangbei Province, and all the way to South City, he must have had something extraordinary. Just with his Combat Power from the Flesh Realm, on the day he was wanted, he wouldn't even get out of Jiangnan Province, not to mention entering Jiangbei Province and running to South City.

This was all thanks to him successfully opening the door to the Sea of Consciousness and forming Mental Telekinesis during his escape.

With the assistance of Mental Telekinesis, not only did he have strong perception and insight, but his physical functions were also enhanced, and his Combat Power was long past the so-called range of 112.0-120.0.

He appropriated resource subsidies just to open the door to the Sea of Consciousness, form Mental Telekinesis, and become a Mental Telekinesis Master, elevating himself from a small City Guard General to the second-in-command, or even the top in his domain.

Unfortunately, opening the door to the Sea of Consciousness requires many precious material subsidies, and those valuable subsidies were distributed by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to Martial Dao students with prospects of opening the Sea of Consciousness to become Mental Telekinesis Masters.

These Martial Dao students not only received various attention and care, but also had Mental Telekinesis Masters lead them in cultivation. Their resource subsidies were thoroughly inspected by the relevant departments every time they collected them.

The cobbler's behavior of appropriating resources was soon exposed, and caught red-handed. Considering he was a Flesh Realm Martial Artist and a City Guard General, after a review by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, he was eventually dispatched to a warzone to participate in a three-year campaign, stripped of his position and power.

He was given a chance to reform.

During his service in the warzone, the cobbler discovered again the possibility of gaining resource subsidies that assist with opening the Sea of Consciousness and forming Mental Telekinesis, he couldn't resist his crooked thoughts.

But having learned his lesson once, he learned to seduce his teammates into being scapegoats, but unfortunately, under strict audits and investigations, the cobbler revealed a flaw again.

Twice stealing material subsidies, moreover targeting the resources for Mental Telekinesis Masters, the cobbler knew what kind of punishment awaited him.

He might have to spend ten to twenty years to leave the warzone or even undertake the most dangerous missions to offset his crimes, he was unwilling and yearned to become a Mental Telekinesis Master.

So he chose to defect, escape the warzone, and struck first to kill a few audit personnel, fleeing all the way to Jiangbei Province.

He unintentionally learned that in the South City Great Radiation Zone of Jiangbei Province, there was a Catfish Demon nest, with a type of Telekinesis Crystal Stone that could help him open the Sea of Consciousness, form Telekinesis, and become a powerful Mental Telekinesis Master.
