Go back a few days ago.

Location, Beisha City.

At dusk, Nie Jun, who had finished a day's hunting, returned to the inn in Beisha City.

"Xiao Er, four catties of Kui beef, three taels of salted beans, and a pot of flower wine. ”

A plate of meat, a plate of appetizers, and a pot of wine, this is the dinner of most warriors.

However, Nie Jun is not a martial artist, to be precise, he is no longer a martial artist now. But he started by practicing martial arts, and it took him thirty years to practice martial arts to the realm of transformation before he entered the cultivation sect.

Even if he is now a great cultivator in the middle stage of feathering, those things of a martial artist have been imprinted in his flesh and blood.

He didn't like to squeeze luxury inns with cultivators, not because he couldn't afford to live without spirit stones, not because he didn't like the topics that cultivators discussed. In contrast, living with a martial artist made him feel more at ease.

Looking at those warriors who were eating meat and drinking a lot, and their faces were full of red light and shouting for the wine order, he felt as if he had seen his former self. It's just that the brothers who accompanied him to drink wine and eat meat back then have long since run out of longevity, and now they can no longer find anyone to drink with.

After greeting the shopkeeper, Nie Jun went straight upstairs.

When it was almost dark, the shopkeeper knocked on the door with a plate.

"Master, the meal you asked for is ready. ”

"Come in. ”

The shopkeeper pushed the door in, put the food on the table and set it up, then turned around and left, and when he went out, he took the door with him.

When the food was served, Nie Jun got up and walked to the dining table. He didn't bother to use chopsticks, so he just reached out and grabbed the meat that had been sliced and ate it.

A bite of meat, a bite of wine, and a bite of side dishes.

It didn't take long for the plates on the table to be emptied.

Pouring the last sip of wine into his mouth, Nie Jun put down the flask and burped.

Only then was he about to get up, but he felt a sudden sense of crisis behind him, but before he could react, a silver blade had already pressed against his neck, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

"Don't make a sound, get up slowly. A deep voice came from behind him.

"Brother, if you want to rob money, the storage ring is on the finger of my left hand. Just take it, I promise I won't chase you. Nie Jun raised his left hand, wanting the other party to see his storage ring.

The reason for this reaction was because he confirmed the identity of the other party as a professional killer at the first time. Only a professional killer can perfectly hide his body in such a small inn room, so that he can not notice anything abnormal during a meal.

And judging from the speed of the shot, the opponent's skill is definitely not below him, and it may even be stronger.

As soon as Nie Jun spoke, he felt a pain in his left hand.

"I've warned you, don't keep quiet. ”

Nie Jun looked at his left hand, and the middle finger of his left hand was directly cut off by the other party. Just because he opened his mouth to speak, the other party directly cut off his fingers, which is obviously a ruthless character.

Nie Jun's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. If you don't allow yourself to speak, you don't have a chance to negotiate. In the thirty years that he practiced martial arts, he had dealt with all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, and through the signals transmitted by the other party, he probably knew what kind of people he had encountered.

"It seems that today is inevitable...... death is inevitable" Nie Jun smiled silently and did not try to communicate again. Because he knows very well that once he speaks again, the other party will only give himself a more drastic warning, and may even kill himself directly.

"Put all the plates away and put the trays in the doorway. ”

Nie Jun obediently put the plate and wine jug into the tray, and when he walked to the door and was about to push the door, the other party's dagger suddenly left his neck.

Nie Jun's eyes lit up, and he was about to flee, but he suddenly noticed an abnormality, and a hair-thick silk thread pulled a wound on his neck.

"I'd be glad you didn't put the ideas in your head into action, or your head wouldn't be around your neck by now. The deep voice came from behind him.

Nie Jun was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and he knew that at this time, he knew what was the thing that had just cut off his finger.

After pushing open the door, Nie Jun slowly bent down and placed the tray on the ground.

Just as he was getting up, a short blade suddenly popped out of the cuff of his right hand, interspersing it between his neck and the transparent silk thread. Then he picked his wrist hard, his body was short, and his neck was freed from the entangled crisis of colorless silk threads.

Without the idea of confronting the other party, Nie Jun suddenly exerted force with his feet, and wanted to escape.

But at this moment, there was a sudden pain in the ankles of both feet, and the body suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.

He looked back and saw that his feet had been entwined with colorless silk threads at some point, and now they had been cut off.

He also finally saw the "appearance" of the killer, a thin man, hidden under a black robe, with a black mask on his face. On that mask, there are two oval holes in the eye. And inside the round hole, there is a pair of cold and ruthless black eyes.

"Be smart. The masked man slowly walked towards Nie Jun.

Nie Jun was lying in a pool of blood, his heart like ashes.

Closing the door, the masked man grabbed Nie Jun by the collar and threw him onto the chair in front of the dining table.

His feet were cut off, knowing that he had no possibility of escaping, Nie Jun completely lost the will to resist and was at the mercy of the other party.

The masked man took out a syringe from the storage ring, plunged it into Nie Jun's arm, and injected it in.

I didn't know what kind of medicine was inside, Nie Jun only felt that his whole body was beginning to become numb, not only could he not speak, but he couldn't even move a finger.

After that, he saw the masked man take out the dagger and slowly slice open his own skull......

Before his consciousness faded, he vaguely heard the masked man whispering to himself, "Let me see if you have what I want in your head......"

......

In the middle of the night, in a room without lights, twenty masked men dressed in black robes gathered. Although the masks are all black, the shape of the mask is different for each person.

"How's the investigation going?" asked a female voice with a thumb-sized ruby on her forehead on her mask.

"I've got something here. A thin figure spoke, his mask exactly the same as the one who had attacked Nie Jun not long ago.

"Today I hunted a lone guy, and his combat power is almost equivalent to the mid-level immortal realm. From his head, I got some useful information. ”

"In this world, the Emperor Palace Realm is called a human immortal, and no immortal has appeared for tens of thousands of years, and no one has been promoted to the human immortal realm for tens of thousands of years. ”

"In this city, the strongest ones at the moment are the three mansion masters whose combat power is almost equivalent to that of the nine-step long life realm. These three people are also our inevitable enemies. ”

"Other than that, the most important thing we should guard against is the Glory Divine Guard. It is said that the Glory Divine Guard of each capital has mastered the battle formation, and its strength is enough to fight against the weaker human immortals. ”

"You didn't scare the snake, did you?" asked the female voice.

"No, the body won't be found until noon tomorrow at the earliest. The skinny man was very determined.

"Then follow the original plan and act tonight. The Red Diamond Masked Woman seemed to be the leader of the team and quickly made various arrangements.

"The number of people who have come in from our Night Charm is only twenty, which is far inferior to the big forces like the Alliance Government, the Hunter Association, and the Imperial Dynasty. So in battle, we must minimize losses and maximize our strengths. After midnight, everyone assassinates the living creatures in the capital as fast as they can, and then plunders the treasure house. Try to get out before the Glory Guard strikes. ”
