240.Chapter 240: The Dark Shadow

In his hand, he was holding a golden round pill, which was the marrow refining pill. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Judging from the inscriptions in the pill box, it would take at least three days to fully absorb this Refining Pill, and it would definitely be too late to run out of time.

He frowned slightly, put the pill back into the pill box, and instead picked up a fiery red spirit fruit and looked at it intently.

"Red Star Fruit!" Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and his face was overjoyed.

This fiery red fruit was the size of a fist, and its surface was covered with dense silver spots, looking like countless shining stars, and at the same time, it also exuded an amazing aura of heaven and earth and a special fragrance.

Compared to the few blue star fruits obtained by killing Ouyang Xuan at the beginning, the grade of these red star fruits was obviously much higher.

"I don't know what the effect is?" Ye Chen took a deep breath, and the blue light in the palm of his right palm flashed, and the spirit ruins appeared.

A moment later, this star fruit had disappeared without a trace, but there was an extra cloud of red essence in Ye Chen's palm, and there were many silver shining points of light in his heart.

Without hesitation, he opened his mouth to swallow the essence, and then closed his eyes and began to concentrate on refining.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed between his eyebrows.

"The effect of the Red Star Fruit is really extraordinary, it is not comparable to the Blue Star Fruit at all!"

After refining only a red star fruit, his aura changed a lot, from the early stage of the first layer of the Spirit Blood Realm to the middle stage of the first level of the Spirit Blood Realm.

Next, without hesitation, he grabbed two Star Fruits one after another, purified them, and swallowed them into his stomach.

Two hours passed in a flash, and Ye Chen's cultivation rose all the way, first reaching the late layer of the first layer, and then under the impetus of the Xingchen Fruit, he directly broke through to the second layer of the Spirit Blood Realm!

Due to the change in the cultivation realm, countless pure and pure true elements have been integrated into the blood and meridians, plus the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Technique has reached the second layer, this advancement did not cause much vision, and it was almost completed quietly.

"The second layer of the Spirit Blood Realm, if you meet Ouyang Long again, you shouldn't be as passive as last time!" Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and his heart was full of strong confidence.

In one day, all the five red star fruits were refined by Ye Chen, and his cultivation also reached the middle stage of the second layer of the Spirit Blood Realm.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen left the camp and quietly walked towards the Lou Mansion in Dongcheng.

Before the blue bird appeared, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, and in order to avoid harassment from the Ouyang family, he deliberately disguised himself as a burly strong man.

After coming to Dongcheng, he found an inn near Lou Mansion and stayed there, looking through the window of the third floor facing the street, he could just see the movement of Lou Mansion.

Due to the surging undercurrents around Zilin County, it is now an extraordinary period, whether it is the head of large or small forces or a person with a head and a face, they are extremely cautious about their own safety.

In addition, the Purple Forest Army defending the city also stepped up patrols, and from time to time you can see groups of Purple Forest Army soldiers walking through the streets with knives and armor.

Early in the morning, Lou Xinghe, surrounded by more than 100 heavily armored warriors, rode a dragon horneed horse with a divine horse and slowly walked out of Lou Mansion and galloped towards the direction of the County King's Mansion.

Behind these people, there was also a team of chariots and horses, which were obviously the armaments ordered by the Zilin Army.

Such a formation is not a blue bird, even if Ye Chen is replaced, he is not very sure of killing Lou Xinghe, and a careless will even alarm the patrolling Zilin Army Guard.

"The success rate of assassination on the street is extremely low, and the blue bird should not act rashly, and after entering the county king's mansion, it is impossible to do it, it seems that he can only make a fuss in the Lou Mansion. ”

Ye Chen's eyes flickered, thinking intently, and carefully analyzing the timing of the blue bird's possible move.

After some serious thinking, he found that it was really not easy to assassinate Lou Xinghe, at least there was not much chance during the day, and the biggest opportunity was to make a move at night.

Ye Chen walked out of the inn and silently probed around Lou Mansion, but did not find anything obvious wrong.

The Lou Mansion is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, and it is difficult for ordinary killers to infiltrate it silently, let alone assassinate them.

It's no wonder that the Blackwater Gang will let their killers go and ask the Blue Bird to take action, and only that kind of ghostly and fluctuating master can complete this extremely difficult assassination mission.

After walking around Lou Mansion a few times, it was already noon, Ye Chen simply returned to the inn, closed the door and sat up.

Soon after, Lou Xinghe returned to Lou Mansion surrounded by heavily armored guards.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is night.

When night fell, it was so dark that there was not a single star in sight, and the moon was hidden behind a dark cloud.

Ye Chen pushed open the window facing the street and watched the movements around him from afar.

The lights in Lou's mansion are bright, and even two rows of lanterns are hung outside the gate, illuminating the street brightly.

"This is indeed a good way to guard against some small nights, but it may be just as convenient for blue birds, who can observe every move of Lou Mansion without getting close. Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered.

However, as the head of the family, Lou Xinghe's mind will naturally not be so shallow, and no matter how stupid he is, he will not be stupid enough to completely expose his strength to the gaze of outsiders.

"Therefore, the strength of Lou Mansion is definitely more than just on the surface, I don't know if the blue bird will act tonight. Ye Chen took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and Lou Mansion was unusually calm.

Soon after, the lights on the opposite side suddenly went out, and Lou Mansion instantly fell into darkness.

Ye Chen's face changed slightly, and he looked intently, only to see that the large and small wings of Lou Mansion had also extinguished the candles at the same time, and it seemed that everyone was ready to rest.

At this moment, there were only a few teams of night guards left in the Lou Mansion walking around the courtyard with torches in their hands.

"If you want to assassinate Lou Xinghe, now is the best time. ”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and stared intently at the movements around him, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.

Just as he shook his head and sighed secretly, a faint figure suddenly passed by the corner of the street and quietly floated into the compound of Lou's mansion.

That phantom is so well hidden that it is difficult to detect without extraordinary eyesight and close observation.

If he hadn't been prepared, Ye Chen would probably have regarded this slight movement as an illusion.

Under Ye Chen's gaze, the phantom shadow was hidden in the darkness of the corner, and it was very clever enough to evade the patrol guards and quietly sweep into the backyard.

Outside a side room in the middle of the backyard, six guards in armor and knives were guarding the door, so careful defense, the characters in the side room obviously had a high status in the Lou Mansion.

The phantom loomed in the corner of the wall, and several guards were completely unaware of it.
