After seeing that group of 'Taoist monsters', Su Xing became more cautious when acting.

He no longer dared to enter that gate rashly.

In the following period, apart from sneaking into the 'Shou Statue Construction Site' to gather information, he spent most of his time consolidating his cultivation and researching life-span medicine.

So peacefully, four months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the rebel army became more powerful and captured several cities one after another, and seemed to be approaching the royal capital.

Looking back at Daomen, they just passively defended and used various means to slow down the progress of the rebel army.

As the saying goes, before the troops arrive, food comes first.

The reason why the Taoist sect did not take the initiative to attack was because too many resources were invested in the construction of the 'Shou Statue' and it was simply unable to send troops.

So another month or so passed.

With Daomen losing consecutive battles and the rebel army pushing into the areas surrounding the royal capital, time has also come to the end of the year.

Su Xing has already inquired about it.

As expected, by February next year, the construction of the "Shou Statue" on the "Shou Statue Construction Site" will be successfully completed.

Daomen only needs to hold on for two more months before they can send troops to counterattack...

After moving into the royal capital, Su Xing's mansion also recruited a group of maids and servants, and they were all managed by Lin Qing.

As the new year is approaching, some of the servants who stayed in the house have also become busy, which can't help but give the house a touch of New Year's flavor.

at the same time.

A man wearing a red robe with white edges also took the initiative to find Su Xing's mansion.

The robe with a red background and white edges was the attire worn by the Shadow Pavilion assassins. An Lan had worn the same style of clothing before, so Su Xing recognized it at a glance.

The people of Shadow Pavilion never do things sloppily.

I don’t know how the other party knew Su Xing’s identity.

As soon as the other party arrived at Su Xing's residence, he said bluntly: "Master Fan, the master of the pavilion has assigned a mission. You can see for yourself."

After saying that, he threw the scroll in his hand over.

Su Xingyun used the 'Wind Control Technique' among the Five Elements spells and carefully caught the scroll, but was not in a hurry to check it.

He asked curiously: "How did you know that I was hiding here?"

In Su Xing's view, the Shadow Pavilion is just a loose organization composed of martial artists, and its purpose is just to earn longevity.

It is naturally difficult for a force of this level to compete with the Taoist sect, and even Su Xing himself is helpless.

It is precisely because of this that Su Xingcai has never taken the Shadow Pavilion seriously...

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Let's not talk about how the Shadow Pavilion disciples found him. The man in the robe who came to the door was no less powerful than a Huajin-level warrior.

Although this strength is still no match for Su Xing, it can be considered a top master in the world...

In the yard.

Faced with Su Xing's doubts, the man in the robe did not respond directly, but said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, your level in the Shadow Pavilion is not high enough, so I have no comment."

"Am I not high enough?" Su Xing was startled when he heard this: "Since you have come to me and sent me this task, you have recognized me as the master of Shanglinli Pavilion... As a branch pavilion

Lord, I am still qualified to know this bit of information, right?"

The man in the robe shook his head and said: "Although your Excellency is the master of Shanglinli Pavilion, he is only a senior member of the organization, so he has no way of knowing this."

Perhaps because he was worried that Su Xing would take action against him, the man in the robe paused and added: "Besides, it is useless for adults to ask me about these things. After all, I am only a cadre and an errand boy.

"

After hearing this, Su Xing quickly made a plan:

In the Shadow Pavilion, the branch masters can only be regarded as executive-level members.

From this, it is not difficult to see that this force still has something...

Then think of the cyan cauldron obtained from An Lan before, which can absorb the "black silk thread" and achieve long-distance communication.

Su Xing has gradually become interested in the mystery of Shadow Pavilion.

He inquired: "How many levels are there in the Shadow Pavilion, and how are they divided?"

The man in the robe didn't seem to mind answering Su Xing's questions.

He said calmly: "The members of the Shadow Pavilion are divided into eight levels, namely Qian, Kun, Zhen, Gen, Li, Kan, Dui, Xun... Among them, Qian is the lowest level and Xun is the highest level. , generally divided according to the strength and contribution of members.”

This answer made Su Xing even more puzzled:

After all, he is also a late-stage foundation-building monk. With his current strength, he will not be able to just be a cadre-level cultivator.

Unless, the Shadow Pavilion's ability to gather information is too weak, and he does not know his true strength...

Thinking of this, Su Xing said calmly: "The master of the Shadow Pavilion in our royal capital should be at the Xun level, right? Then what level is he? If we follow the rating method of the Shadow Pavilion, then there are Xun level masters. , it should be very strong, right?”

The man in the robe shook his head and said, "You are overthinking this. The master of the Shadow Pavilion in the royal capital has only just reached the Kun level, and is far from the Xun level."

In order to understand the specific strength of members at each level, Su Xing asked: "What about the 'Taoist monsters'? If those people join the organization, what level can they be classified into?"

The man in the robe said: "Although the 'Taoist monsters' are more powerful than the top masters in the world, they are not capable of normal cultivation, so they cannot be divided by realm... If those people really join the Shadow Pavilion, they should only be at the executive level. Bar!"

Su Xing asked again: "What about my men in Shanglin?"

The man in the robe said: "Although the personnel recruited by officer-level personnel can be classified as members of the Shadow Pavilion, they have no level, let alone a 'blue cauldron'.

From the man in the robe, Su Xing learned:

The reason why he was recognized as a senior member of the Shadow Pavilion was because he grabbed the 'blue cauldron'.

——Those who possess the ‘Green Cauldron’ are qualified to become members of the Shadow Pavilion.

The hierarchy in the Shadow Pavilion is strict.

Although different members can communicate remotely through the 'Blue Cauldron', they can only actively contact members whose level is lower than themselves.

If you want to contact higher-level members, you must sacrifice a certain amount of 'evil energy' into the cauldron.

This 'evil spirit' is exactly the 'black thread' in Su Xing's cognition.

In addition, the higher the level of the target contacted by the cabinet members, the amount of 'black thread' required will also increase exponentially.

For example, if members of several levels take the initiative to contact the Kun level, they need to pay Unit 1’s ‘black silk thread’.

If members of the cadre level take the initiative to contact the earthquake level, they need to pay ten units of ‘black silk thread’.

By analogy, then the Gen level will need to pay one hundred units of "black silk thread", then one thousand units, or even ten thousand units.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Su Xing had some doubts in his heart:

In his opinion, the master of the Shadow Pavilion in the Royal Capital is the real behind-the-scenes controller of the Shadow Pavilion, but the other party is only a member of the Yikun level.

In other words, behind the pavilion master, there is a behind-the-scenes boss who is ten times or a hundred times more powerful than him.

But the problem is that the Nanfangbu Continent where Su Xing is located is just a "low martial arts world" where there are no immortal cultivators...
