Chapter 69: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots

Less than ten days after Zhu Yuetian, the owner of the Zhu family mine, destroyed the Fan and Hong families, and the entire rivers and lakes knew about this incident that shocked the world, and for a while, the entire rivers and lakes were in an uproar, and everyone was speculating about what Zhu Yuetian would do next.

Some people speculate whether he will retaliate against the Wu family, merchants, and Huyan families who are ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh in Chishan, the first and second have the support of the royal family, and Zhu Yuetian will not be stupid enough to provoke, but many people in the fifth, sixth and seventh places can see that they should have cooperated with the Fan Hong family, but Zhu Yuetian didn't catch their handle for a while, so he never made a move.

There is also the fact that the mysterious man is a master, he has defeated three congenital masters in a row, and the appearance of more than four congenital masters in the rivers and lakes has also caused an uproar in the entire rivers and lakes.

Otherwise, he would not be able to defeat the three Innate Martial Monarch peak masters alone, and some people speculated that this mysterious person might be the master of the top ten hermit sects in the cultivation world.

Anyway, there are many opinions, and at the same time, these people are also speculating about the relationship between this mysterious man and Zhu Yuetian, so that this mysterious person can help him again and again. Tracing back to Zhu Yuetian's master, it seems that he Zhu Yuetian is the only one until now, if it is impossible to say that he is a master of his master's sect, and it seems that Zhu Yuetian and this mysterious person do not know each other, so what does this mean?

Now the whole Jianghu knows about Zhu Yuetian's apprenticeship ceremony and auction conference two months later, which makes the whole Jianghu lively all of a sudden, and everyone is speculating about where Zhu Yuetian's apprentice is sacred, and he can get Zhu Yuetian's favor, after all, this Zhu Yuetian has never accepted an apprentice in the first half of his life, and now he is in his fifties but has put away his apprentice.

In addition, the auction conference held by Zhu Yuetian also made many shili nervous, after all, the attraction of this red red Xuanjing is too great, so big that some shili can get a piece of Xuanjing with the financial resources of an entire sect or family.

As long as any shili gets a piece of Xuan Jing, and then uses this fast Xuan Jing to create a divine weapon, then the entire strength of this Shili can be greatly improved. Therefore, now the major families and sects in Jingzhou and some surrounding states and counties are preparing to participate in the auction conference presided over by Zhu Yuetian two months later.

Chishan Mining Area - Merchant Mine.

In a living room, there are three old men sitting together at this time, all of them frowning, looking preoccupied, the old man sitting in the top position has a white face and beard, wearing a purple robe, about sixty years old, and there is a fine light between the opening and closing of his eyes.

The old man sitting on the left is a leopard with a leopard head and eyes, not angry but mighty, tall, with a faint black palm, while the old man sitting on the right is the oldest of the three, his hair and beard are as white as frost and snow, and the skin on his face is as white and red as a baby, and he looks full of energy.

The three of them were silent for a while, and the old man with a leopard head and ring-eyed eyes sitting on the left couldn't help it, and looked at the other two, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and this scene was captured by the old man in the top position:

"Brother Shang, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Hearing this, the white-haired old man raised his head and looked at the old man with a leopard head and ring-eyes, and the old man with a leopard head and ring-eyes coughed lightly, looked at the two, and said:

"Brother Wu, Brother Huyan, now the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, Zhu Yuetian now has a mysterious master secretly protecting him, we can't help him, the most afraid is that Zhu Yuetian is ambitious, if he wants to destroy you and me, then he is the number one shili in Chishan, plus you and I have targeted him before, although there is no handle left, but a clear-eyed person can see at a glance, and Zhu Yuetian is a person who will be repaid, and the grievances between us will always be resolved one day, fortunately, the masked mysterious man does not take the initiative now, and it seems that Zhu Yuetian is not very clear about the identity of the mysterious person, so he can't influence this mysterious person to help him attack other shili, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if that mysterious person listens to Zhu Yuetian's words one day, I will be in danger. ”...,

After a pause, the old man surnamed Shang continued:

"Now instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack, Zhu Yuetian, we can't help him, then we can set the target on another person, isn't he Zhu Yuetian now accepted an apprentice? Then we might as well make a fuss about his apprentice, first cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as long as we get rid of his apprentice and divert his attention, and we will have more time to prepare when we take this opportunity. ”

After hearing this, the white-faced old man groaned for a while, looked at the two of them and said:

"But wouldn't that expose us? Wouldn't that set us on fire?

When the old man surnamed Shang heard this, he smiled slightly and said:

"Brother Huyan, I think you are a smart person, confused for a while, how can we personally participate in this matter? That is, neither of you nor I can personally participate, as long as you participate, it is tantamount to suicide, and you are impatient to go to death. ”

The white-bearded old man's eyes, who had not spoken, lit up and said:

"Brother Shang, do you mean that we will find someone else to do this?"

"Even if you find someone else to do it, but who dares to provoke him Zhu Yuetian now, isn't this an ambitious leopard guts? Send it to the knife yourself? It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that no one will take this business now!" The old man surnamed Huyan shook his head when he heard this.

"Brother Wu, Brother Huyan, I don't know if you still remember that there is a mysterious organization in the rivers and lakes called 'Shadow Pavilion'?"

"Shadow Pavilion, Shadow Pavilion ......" The old man surnamed Shang and the old man surnamed Huyan kept muttering, and for a while, they didn't even think that there was such a sect.

"Legend has it that more than a hundred years ago, he assassinated the 'Shadow Pavilion' of two masters of the 'Bloody Hand Gate' who stepped into the Dao Realm, you can't have heard of it, right?"

"Ahh It turned out to be this Shadow Pavilion, because someone asked the Shadow Pavilion to assassinate two Dao Realm masters of the Blood Hand Gate at a high price, which caused a sensation in the entire cultivation world, and then the Blood Hand Gate sent thirty Dao Realm masters to surround and suppress the Shadow Pavilion, and as a result, more than 20 masters died on both sides of a big war, and the Shadow Pavilion has rarely appeared in the rivers and lakes since then, some people say that the Shadow Pavilion has been seriously injured since that war, and has been secretly cultivating new liliang, but there has been no news for more than a hundred years, but this is a legend after all, whether it is true or not, it is difficult to say, and thatAfter all, the 'Bloody Hand Sect' is one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world of the Xilu Kingdom, and it is also a sect that is both good and evil, it is said that the strength of the Shadow Pavilion is not inferior to the 'Bloody Hand Sect', and it is also a very mysterious sect, how can we find them?" The old man surnamed Wu and the old man surnamed Huyan listened to the hint of the old man surnamed Shang, and the two of them immediately thought of the legendary event that happened more than a hundred years ago. The old man surnamed Huyan even described the legendary events of the year.

"Yes, this Shadow Pavilion hasn't appeared in the rivers and lakes for more than a hundred years, how can we contact them?" the old man surnamed Huyan looked at the old man surnamed Shang and asked.

"Don't worry, you two, I've got an eye on this. The old man surnamed Shang said confidently.

"Ah, Brother Shang, this matter is really eyebrow-raising, when have you been preparing in secret?" the two of them exclaimed at the same time when they heard this.

"The two of you don't have to be surprised, since Zhu Yuetian destroyed the Fan and Hong families, I have sensed the crisis, and at that time I had already sent my cronies to secretly operate to find the Shadow Pavilion, the day before yesterday, the flying pigeon passed the news that the contact information of the Shadow Pavilion had been found, and it should be determined in a day or two, but you all know that their asking price is very expensive, but for the sake of our future, I think it should be worth spending this money. The old man surnamed Shang had a gleam in his eyes, and his face showed a hint of anger, and he said slowly. ...,

"That's good, this money is out of the three of us together, if we can invite them to assassinate Zhu Yuetian, it would be even better! I believe that with the Shadow Pavilion, then he Zhu Yuetian and the mysterious person are not afraid, the legend says that this Shadow Pavilion is a master like a cloud, although it has a bad reputation in the cultivation world, but its strength is not false at all, it is said that this Shadow Pavilion has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and the overall strength is extraordinary. The old man said.

"It's just that this Shadow Pavilion doesn't know if it will take over this business?" asked the old man surnamed Wu with some uncertainty.

"Please rest assured Brother Wu on this point, I am absolutely sure of this matter, if they don't take our business, then we won't be able to find their contact information. The old man surnamed Shang swore to the two of them.

"If that's the case, that's good, let's ...... next"

"Knock! knock!"

The old man surnamed Shang suddenly stopped and looked out of the gate, and the other two also looked at the gate.

"Please come in!" said the old man surnamed Shang with a frown.

The door was slowly pushed open, and two guards came straight to the three old men, one of whom said to the old man surnamed Shang:

"Master, what you have commanded has an eyebrow!"

Another guard immediately presented an envelope with both hands and said:

"Master, this is what you want!"

"Well, you guys go down!" The old man surnamed Shang took the envelope, looked at the red seal on the envelope, and suddenly rejoiced in his heart.

After the three guards went out, the old man surnamed Shang couldn't wait to open the envelope, took out a golden letter from it, and a smile appeared on his face after reading it, and then he didn't speak, and handed the envelope to the old man surnamed Wu and the old man surnamed Huyan, and when the two of them read it, they also showed a smile on their faces.

"Fifty thousand catties of refined red copper! Although it is a sky-high price, but the other party can dispatch an innate martial artist master to assassinate it, this is definitely a foolproof thing, it is worth it!" said the old man surnamed Shang with some joy and some heartache.

"I didn't expect the price of this Shadow Pavilion to be really scary, to assassinate an ordinary person, it takes 50,000 catties of refined red copper, which is five million taels when converted into silver, if we ask him to assassinate that mysterious person, wouldn't it cost 500,000 catties of red copper or more!"

"Although the price is very expensive, it is definitely a great joy for us to be able to invite the master of the Shadow Pavilion. "The old man surnamed Shang has seen far away.

"After solving this apprentice of Zhu Yuetian, the next step is to spend more money to invite the master of the Shadow Pavilion to assassinate Zhu Yuetian, as long as Zhu Yuetian is dead, everything will be fine. The old man surnamed Wu's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.

The three of them thought to themselves at the same time:

"Zhu Yuetian, you wait, solve your apprentice first, and you will be next!"
