Volume 2 Spirit Realm Chapter 468 The Conspiracy Begins
In an inn not far from Yuelaiju, Jiang Xingan found Zhao Ziang.
The moment Zhao Ziang saw Jiang Xing'an, his face became gloomy, if Jiang Xing'an and Xi Wanyi hadn't stopped him, Lu Chen would have been captured and killed by him a long time ago.
"Jiang Daoyou, did you come to me for something?" Zhao Ziang said coldly.
"Zhao Daoyou, am I looking for you to cooperate?" Jiang Xingan didn't care about the other party's cold words at all, and said with a smile.
"Cooperation? Hmph, there's nothing to talk about between us!" Zhao Ziang ordered the eviction.
"I'm here to discuss with you how to kill Lu Chen, I wonder if you're interested?" Jiang Xing'an said.
"Jiang Daoyou, you didn't have this attitude a few days ago!" Zhao Ziang said suspiciously.
"Zhao Daoyou, you must also know that I love my fellow junior sister Xi Wanyi very much, and recently I found out that Senior Sister Xi actually has a good impression of that Lu Chen, so I want to kill this person, but I don't want my junior sister to know. Jiang Xingan explained.
Jiang Xing'an admired Xi Wanyi, and Zhao Ziang had heard of it, but when Jiang Xing'an said that Xi Wanyi liked Lu Chen, Zhao Ziang was shocked and showed disbelief.
"I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it with my own eyes!" Jiang Xing'an said.
"Brother Jiang, how do you think you can kill Lu Chen?" Zhao Ziang asked, and unconsciously even the title became a lot closer.
Although Jiang Xing'an's cultivation is not as good as Zhao Ziang, but in terms of calculation, Zhao Ziang is really not this person's opponent, after all, his father is an elder of the inner sect of the Ruthless Sect, and Jiang Xingan has been exposed to many power struggles in the sect since he was a child.
"Brother Zhao, how many of your classmates are in Sihaifang City?"
"Including myself, there are only seven or eight people. ”
"Brother Zhao, isn't Lu Chen wanted by your sect, you can offer a reward to hunt down this person!"
"There will be a brave man under the heavy reward!Haha! Brother Jiang, thank you for reminding me!"
After Jiang Xing'an left, Zhao Ziang summoned the monk surnamed Qin and others.
"Senior brothers, you should immediately go to the city and post a reward notice!
"Yes, Senior Brother!" the seven or eight Hundred Refining Sect cultivators responded respectfully.
......
In a secluded corner of Liberty Square City, Jiang Xing'an found Li Deshui, who had a conflict with Lu Chen.
"I've seen Jiang Shao!" Li Deshui saluted respectfully.
"Li Deshui, the kid who made your brother-in-law suffer, do you want to take revenge?"
"If we don't kill that kid, we brothers won't be able to mix in Liberty Square City in the future!" Li Deshui said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, the day this person leaves Sihaifang City, I will find someone to inform you! But you can't take it lightly, this person is extremely powerful, you'd better call another helper who is in the Great Perfection Realm!"
"Jiang Shao, this person is just a late stage of cultivation, is it really that powerful?" Li Deshui was obviously a little unconvinced.
"It's up to you whether you listen or not, there are a thousand top-grade spirit stones here, which can be regarded as my reward for you!" After speaking, Jiang Xingan threw a storage bag to this person.
After Li Deshui took the storage bag, his consciousness swept away, and he was overjoyed.
After Jiang Xing'an left, Li Deshui said to himself, "There is a father of the elder of the Ruthless Sect, and he is generous!"
"Jiang Xing'an is right, be careful! I'd better find someone to help, it's a big deal that I'll share half of his spoils afterwards. ”
......
After Jiang Xing'an came back from Liberty Square City, he did not go back to Yuelaiju directly, but walked into a teahouse on the next street.
This teahouse is not ordinary, it is actually affiliated with the most powerful killer organization in the spirit world, Shadow.
And the shopkeeper surnamed Luo is the deacon of the shadow in Sihaifang City, and his power is not small.
Jiang Xing'an learned all this from his father, who was an elder of the Ruthless Sect and had a lot of information sources in his hands, and it was impossible for him to connect this ordinary teahouse with the Shadow if he was an ordinary monk.
Shadows is a huge organization of killers, and there are dozens of them so far
Ten thousand years of history, all over the spiritual realm, how many killers it has raised, except for the Shadow Council of Elders, no one else knows.
Moreover, the identities of the Shadow Slayer are extremely mysterious, and outsiders have no idea their true identities.
The minimum standard for becoming a Shadow Slayer is to cultivate during the Merge Period.
However, there are exceptions, although some capable people are not highly cultivated, if their means can kill the monks of the Merge Period, they can also successfully become the killer of the Shadow.
The Shadow Slayer is highly paid, and the monks flock to it, but very few can actually join the Shadow.
It is no exaggeration to say that every killer of the Shadow is an elite.
However, the risk of the Shadow Slayer is also very high, and if the assassination fails, it will either be counter-killed by the target or eliminated by the Shadow.
The Shadow Killers are divided into nine ranks, ranging from one star to nine stars.
One-star to three-star killers are Combined Period monks, four-star to six-star Tribulation Period monks, and seven-star to nine-star Mahayana Period monks.
Shadows has had an unwritten rule since its inception, and that is:
A three-star killer can only perform the task of assassinating a monk in the Merger Period;
Four- to six-star killers can only carry out the mission of assassinating the monks of the Tribulation Period;
Killers above the seven-star level can only carry out the mission of assassinating Mahayana monks;
As soon as Jiang Xingan stepped into the teahouse, a guy came up to greet him, "Senior, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"
Jiang Xingan said, "Arrange a private room for me, I'll find your shopkeeper and talk to him about a big deal!"
After a while, the shopkeeper surnamed Luo of the teahouse walked into the private room.
"Jiang Daoyou, I heard that you want to talk to me about a big deal? I am the deacon in charge of this area, and my surname is Luo. ”
As the deacon of the shadow, he has a deep understanding of the high-level and elite disciples of various sects in Dongling Continent, so although the deacon surnamed Luo has not seen Jiang Xing'an, he still quickly recognizes him.
"The Shadow really lives up to its reputation!" Jiang Xing'an was very surprised to see that the other party quickly recognized his identity.
"Deacon Luo, I want to ask you to kill someone in the shadows!"
"Who?" asked Deacon Law.
"This person is a casual cultivator, named Lu Chen, who is a late stage of cultivation, and this person now lives in Yuelaiju!" Jiang Xing'an replied.
"Yes, but the price is not cheap, 10,000 top-grade spirit stones!" said Deacon Luo.
Although Jiang Xing'an was born noble, 10,000 top-grade spirit stones was not a small amount for him, this person gritted his teeth, took out 10,000 spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to Deacon Luo.
After counting the spirit stones, Deacon Luo said, "Jiang Daoyou, you just go back and wait for the good news!"
Jiang Xingan arched his hand, then turned around and walked out of the teahouse.
Deacon Luo said to himself, "It's better to send the two-star killer Wei Jie this time!"
......
The next day, Lu Chen did not go out, but practiced gathering spirit seals and drawing second-order spirit runes in the room.
And Xi Wanyi also knew that Lu Chen was hurrying up to cultivate, so she didn't come to him.
By the sixth day, Lu Chen had completely mastered the Spirit Gathering Seal, and during this period, he had also drawn four hundred second-order spirit runes.
Coupled with the more than six hundred second-order spirit runes before, Lu Chen was confident that if these thousand spirit runes were thrown out at one time, they would be able to severely damage the two Combined Great Perfection cultivators in an instant.
During this period, there was a news spread among the scattered cultivators in Sihaifang City, that is, the Hundred Refining Sect offered a reward of 5,000 top-grade spirit stones to kill a combined late-stage cultivator.
In the end, three monks from the early stage of the Tribulation and eight monks from the Combined Great Perfection Realm found Zhao Ziang and took Lu Chen's portrait.
At noon on the seventh day, Lu Chen decided to go out for a walk, he walked to the Qixian Residence next to him, found a corner by the window, and asked for some wine and food.
After a while, the guy who served the dishes just now said to Lu Chen, "Senior, how does the wine and food taste in our store today?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "This dish tastes very good! This wine also has a different taste!"
The guy also smiled and said, "Senior, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste such wine and food in the future!"
Lu Chen asked strangely, "Why?"
The man didn't speak, and pointed to the food on the table.
Lu Chen immediately understood that the other party had poisoned the wine and food.
It turned out that this guy was none other than Wei Jie, the two-star killer of the Shadow, who was the only Yuan Infant Monk in the entire Shadow Organization, but his poison technique was terrifying even for the Combined Stage Monk.
After learning that Lu Chen likes to drink a little wine, Wei Jie came to Qi Xianju a few days ago and became a buddy here.
After Lu Chen ordered the wine and food, Wei Jie put a poison called drunken life and dream death in the wine and food.
This poison is colorless and tasteless, and the monks below the Tribulation Period can't detect it at all, although the cost of refining is not high, but the refining process is extremely complicated, and it took Wei Jie several years to refine a bottle.
After the monk of the merger period was poisoned, it was difficult to force the poison out by using spiritual power, and within a few moments, the poisoned person would be temporarily lost, and then gradually lose consciousness and die in his sleep.
Wei Jie smiled and said, "Do you feel a little drowsy?"
Lu Chen was indeed a little sleepy just now, but it was only when he had just drunk the spirit wine, but at this moment, he was not sleepy at all.
Lu Chen only really realized the magic of the Tianshan Ice Silkworm Grass at this moment, his body had become invincible, although the other party's poison was powerful, it had no effect on himself at all.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to do this?"
Wei Jie said with a smile, "Someone paid 10,000 top-grade spirit stones to buy your life!"
Lu Chen said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of overturning in the gutter?"
Wei Jie said triumphantly, "Although I am only a two-star killer in the shadows, I have never missed a mission in my mission, besides, the spirit wine you drank just now was highly poisoned by me, and the monk of the Merge Period was poisoned by this poison, so I can only wait for death obediently!"
At this moment, Lu Chen's right hand grabbed it, and Wei Jie's body involuntarily left the ground, and this person's face turned red, revealing an extremely painful expression.
Wei Jie struggled and said, "How is it possible, after being poisoned by drunken life and death, you can still use the spiritual power in your body?"
Lu Chen said, "I don't know what kind of organization your Shadow is, but since you have taken over the deal to kill me, you will definitely not give up, I will wait for you!"
After speaking, Lu Chen pinched his right hand, Wei Jie's neck was crooked, and he died of anger.
At the same time, the thunder pupil and purple eyes in Lu Chen's eyes were working, and as soon as this person's primordial infant flew out of the Heavenly Spirit, he was hit by two lightning bolts and collapsed instantly.
Wei Jie's eyes bulged out, and his face retained a look of disbelief.
Lu Chen saw that this person was good at using poison, so he grabbed his storage bag in his hand.
Then Lu Chen's fire spirit technique was struck, and the person's body instantly turned into ashes.
Although everyone didn't understand what was going on, when they heard the word shadow mentioned in the conversation between the two, they were immediately frightened.
For a while, the entire restaurant was quiet, and everyone cast an admiring look at Lu Chen, there were not many monks who could avoid the assassination of the Shadow Killer.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the Immortal Residence came over, and this person said to Lu Chen, "Daoyou, although this person is a new guy who only came to our store a few days ago to do things, but it frightened Daoyou, this is a little meaning, please accept it!"
As he spoke, this person presented a storage bag with both hands, which contained five thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Lu Chen pushed over the storage bag and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I know that this matter has nothing to do with your Immortal Residence!"
A strange color flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, he had been the shopkeeper in the store for hundreds of years, and he had never seen a monk like Lu Chen, and if he changed to someone else, he must be trying to find a way to get some benefits from the immortals.
The shopkeeper arched his hand and asked, "Haven't you asked for the name of the Taoist friend yet?"
Lu Chen said, "Under Lu Chen." ”
......
A few hours later, news that the Shadow Killer appeared in the Immortal Residence of Sihaifang City and attempted to assassinate a monk named Lu Chen, but ultimately failed, quickly spread throughout the city.
