Volume 1 The Great Dry Wind and Cloud Chapter 16 The Assassin
After Chu Yue walked out of Jian Xiaoyuan, she slowed down.
He seemed to be waiting for someone to chase him.
But when she walked slowly for several miles, no one caught up with her from behind, and no one called her to stop her.
She finally couldn't help but stop and looked back. She saw people rustling on the street, and the rapeseed flowers on the roadside were wilting for some reason.
She turned around and didn't see the person she wanted to see. She lowered her head and looked at the brand-new sword in her hand, a deep disappointment flashing in her eyes.
"Miss, do you really want him to chase you out?" Wang Pengtian, who had been walking slowly for several miles beside her, asked with a smile.
Chuyue said: "When I walked around the corner, he could chase me out and say, 'I didn't expect to meet for the second time so soon.' Then wouldn't he know me? But why didn't he chase me out?"
Wang Pengtian smiled softly and said, "Isn't he a little stupid?"
"Maybe he really feels that he is destined to me and there is a chance to meet again." Chu Yue smiled brightly, blooming like a spring flower.
Thinking of this possibility, the disappointment on her face disappeared, her steps became much more cheerful, and she seemed to be looking forward to the next meeting.
Wang Pengtian smiled and followed her footsteps.
…
…
"Ye Hao, you go too far! Even if you offend Mr. Zhizhou today, I will teach you a lesson!"
Master Lu saw that Zheng Zongzheng was a little embarrassed, so he said something loudly, pulled out a sword, and slashed at Ye Yuntian.
This is a good opportunity for him to get rid of the embarrassment. How could he not cherish it?
Ye Yuntian watched Master Lu rushing towards him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, and then he slashed out with his sword.
There was a crisp sound, and the sword in Master Lu's hand was cut off. Then one of his arms flew away, and blood shot out.
Master Lu screamed and used his other hand to cover the broken arm where blood was gushing out.
"Master Lu is at the sixth level of Zhongwu, but he is not the enemy of Ye Hao with just one move!?"
"Ye Hao is actually so strong!? He's not as useless as the rumors say!"
…
Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw Ye Yuntian cut off Master Lu's arm with a casual sword strike.
Some people felt cold and panicked when they thought of the mockery they had just made to Sylvia Yuntian.
Ye Yuntian looked at Master Lu calmly and said, "With your strength, how can you teach me a lesson?!"
Master Lu looked at Ye Yuntian with an even more resentful expression and screamed, "Ye Hao, you and I are irreconcilable!"
Bang!
Ye Yuntian raised the long sword in his hand, and the side of the sword slapped Master Lu on the cheek, knocking him away. Several of his teeth fell out, and his face swelled into a pig's head.
Master Lu fell to the ground and was about to curse again, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He saw Ye Yuntian holding a sword on his neck, which made him feel cold.
"If you dare to say one more word, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow!"
Ye Yuntian said indifferently.
Master Lu swallowed dryly and did not dare to say another word.
"If I don't hear the news about you fulfilling your bet tomorrow, I will send someone to cut you into pieces." Ye Yuntian said coldly again, and glanced at Zheng Zongzheng and Zheng Yue standing aside with a cold look.
One glance, then turned around and strode away.
Zheng Yue looked at Ye Yuntian's leaving figure, with lingering fear in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Why is he so strong?"
Zheng Zongzheng's face was also very gloomy. The provocative look in Ye Yuntian's eyes when he left just now made him dare not respond forcefully, so he could only swallow his bad breath.
When everyone onlookers saw Ye Yuntian leaving, they all recovered from their shock and dispersed one after another.
Zheng Zongzheng glanced at Master Lu who was lying on the ground with an indifferent expression, and then pulled Zheng Yue to the secret room on the second floor.
"Then Ye Hao is really bullying others!"
Arriving in the secret room, Zheng Yue couldn't help but slam the table and said angrily.
Ye Yuntian severely wounded Master Lu and fled away, but she and Zheng Zongzheng did not dare to stop him. Once the incident spread, Jian Xiaoyuan's reputation would be ruined.
The key is, with so many people present at the time, the matter would have spread out very quickly.
"It's still too weak! If our ancestors were still here, who would dare to bully us like this?" Zheng Zongzheng also felt extremely ashamed and angry. He was actually bullied by a young boy today!
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Zheng Yue's face, and he said: "Uncle Master, if you didn't want to hide your strength, how could you be afraid of that young boy Ye Hao!?"
Zheng Zongzheng said: "I see that Ye Hao has already gained a certain degree of enthusiasm when he draws his sword. I am afraid that the warriors of the ninth level of Zhongwu are no match for him. I cannot expose my identity just to teach him a lesson, otherwise I will attract the strong men of Yueshen Sect. Then
It is tantamount to setting yourself on fire."
"I really don't know when this life will end!" Zheng Yue clenched her fists. She was fed up with this timid way of living.
"Yue'er, these days will end soon, because the ancestor's inheritance is about to begin." Zheng Zongzheng smiled and said to Zheng Yue.
"What?" Zheng Yue looked surprised.
"When Senior Brother Nie was dying, he escorted his three disciples away and gave the keys to the ancestor's inheritance to each of them. Together, they could open the ancestor's inheritance. But even Senior Brother Nie didn't know.
To get the ancestor's inheritance, you must have the ancestor's bloodline, so in the end the ancestor's inheritance can only fall into the hands of Yue'er."
"If the ancestor had not left Xiao Fengtian and was unable to escape from the lower world, how could the Yueshen Sect's unattractive tricks be able to defeat our Qinghong Sect? As long as the ancestor's inheritance is obtained, what does the Yueshen Sect mean?"
…
…
Ye Yuntian didn't take Jian Xiaoyuan's conflict seriously at all. If the other party hadn't insisted on showing off, he would have been too lazy to fight.
Apart from forging a handy sword, the biggest achievement was meeting that beautiful girl who looked very much like his seventh disciple.
He believed that if this beautiful girl was really related to his disciple in his previous life, then they would definitely meet again.
This is also the reason why he didn't chase him out.
Ye Yuntian went to a nearby shop and bought a scabbard, a sheath on the hilt and a sword tassel. He decorated the newly made sword in his hand and named it Lan Yun.
Holding Lan Yun in his hand, he felt that the weight and feel were just right. After all, he personally forged the sword with the Dragon Wind Hammer, and it fit him very well.
With this sword in hand, it is difficult for a warrior below the third level of martial arts to be his enemy.
Moreover, it took several hours to forge these two swords, which was a great training for his physical body.
Now that his physical body has begun to take shape, he can use the medicinal power of spiritual materials to strengthen his physical body.
After Ye Yuntian returned to Zhizhou Mansion, he immediately returned to his hut, preparing to process the purchased spiritual materials and start refining his body, preparing to break through to the high martial arts realm as soon as possible.
…
While Ye Yuntian was working hard on his body, Zhang He received an invitation.
Zhang He fell into deep thought when he saw this invitation.
The invitation was sent by the imperial envoy Guan Qingsheng, who was hosting a banquet for officials of all sizes in Qingzhou at the Zuihong Mansion.
Guan Qingsheng came about half a month ago. On the day of his arrival, Zhang He and other officials greeted him at the city gate. In the next few days, Guan Qingsheng was performing his duties as an imperial envoy, investigating corruption and bribery in some places.
Zhang He didn't bother to embezzle a small amount of money, and he acted and sat upright, so he didn't pay much attention to Guan Qingsheng, and just asked his subordinates to cooperate with him as much as possible.
Zhang He originally suspected that the person behind Li Wenhong was Guan Qingsheng, and the timing of the invitation's appearance was not right, so he smelled a hint of danger.
However, Guan Qingsheng's official position is higher than his. With his high martial arts level, he is not enough to challenge the imperial power of Daqian Kingdom. If he doesn't go, Guan Qingsheng may become famous, and then he will not want to be the governor of Qingzhou, and he will run away. Go to the end of the world!
Zhang He sat there and pondered for a while, then called Fan Han and the others to make some arrangements, then went to Zuihong Mansion alone.
The lanterns on the street were first turned on, and the colorful lights illuminated Fengxi Street, which was very gorgeous.
But the eight red lanterns hanging on the eaves in front of Zuihong Building emitted a dim red light, like blood light.
Zhang He stood in front of the Zuihong Building, looked up, secretly alert, and slowly walked into the Zuihong Building.
At this time of day, Zuihonglou should be packed with seats and very noisy, but at this moment, the first floor of Zuihonglou is slightly empty, with dozens of tables that were originally placed cleared away.
Only an exaggerated large round table was placed in the middle. Guan Qingsheng and several officials were sitting on the large round table, talking and laughing happily.
When Zhang He saw Guan Qingsheng and others, his vigilance eased a little, and he quickly walked in, bowed his hands to Guan Qingsheng and others and said, "I have met Lord Guan!"
Bang~
With two loud noises, the two doors of Zuihong Building suddenly closed from the inside.
The cultivation levels of the six men in black who were ambushing at the door suddenly exploded. They were all at the peak of the ninth level of Zhongwu. As soon as their cultivation levels were released, the entire Zuihong Mansion was filled with violent zhenqi, and the pressure was extremely heavy.
Like a ghost, without saying a word, he used cunning and strange sword skills and came towards Zhang He.
When the officials who were sitting at the big round table chatting and laughing with Guan Qingsheng saw these men in black, their faces suddenly changed and turned livid!
Because they recognized that these people in front of them were Qianmen assassins!
The Qianmen is an assassin organization spread throughout the Haoyue Continent, with branches located in every major city in the Daqian Kingdom.
It has a prominent reputation and a good reputation. It collects money and performs tasks, and it has never failed!
If the branch fails, the task will be reported directly to the next level, and a stronger person will be sent to take action.
According to legend, the Qianmen headquarters of Haoyue Continent once sent three assassins of the Xuanwu realm, traveling thousands of miles to kill a powerful warrior of the ninth level of Xuanwu.
But the employer who provided the money was already dead.
Therefore, although Qianmen is an underground organization, it has an excellent reputation and is feared.
Although the officials next to Guan Qingsheng have high official positions and have many thugs under their command, how can they not be afraid of such a behemoth as Qianmen?
Zhang He's footsteps stopped abruptly, his smile suddenly faded, and he felt several murderous intentions coming from behind him.
Zhang He's right hand shook violently, and the golden sword hidden in his wide sleeves flashed out. He suddenly turned around and slashed violently.
