Play the long game and catch big fish? To everyone, Ye Zan sounded like he was talking big words. Even though he is an alchemy master, after all, his cultivation is only at the golden elixir level. How can he fight against an assassin organization? Although there is Yu Qingzong behind him, as well as the powerful Yuanshen, after all, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. What's more, a powerful soul may not be able to stabilize the mortal world.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I think it's better not to be too impulsive about this matter." Yan Xinghe advised kindly.
Ye Zan shook his head and said in a calm tone: "Thank you Brother Yan for your kindness. I am not impulsive. This matter will eventually be resolved. Someone wants my life. If we can't eliminate the trouble once and for all, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future." It’s hard to be at peace.”
If Yan Xinghe and the others intervened, they would at most warn the people in Hongchen and then give a hint to Jin Hongze. However, can people in the world of mortals not make money? Will Jin Hongze be willing to give up? Obviously it's impossible. Ye Zan and the others, at most, would not encounter such assassinations again in this ancient city, but would they never leave the ancient city in their entire lives
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Yan Xinghe and the others for their inaction. After all, they have their own difficulties. It was impossible for them to spend a huge price to eradicate the world of mortals for Ye Zan, nor could they punish Jin Hongze, who was also a master of alchemy, without proof.
Therefore, after listening to Ye Zan's words, Yan Xinghe had no choice but to say: "Forget it, since fellow Taoist has made up his mind, I can't persuade you anymore. I just hope that fellow Taoist will be more careful. If there is any need, I will do my best. We will do our best to help.”
"Thank you." Ye Zan said with his hands in hand.
The alliance ceremony ended like this. Although something disappointing happened in the end, fortunately it did not affect the alliance between the two sects.
Liu Qian was considered to have passed between life and death, but fortunately, Ye Zan was treated in time, and there were no sequelae. There was not even a scar on his chest and back.
And what Ye Zan said to Yan Xinghe was not just talk. Now that his magic weapon has been refined and the alliance is over, it is time to deal with Jin Hongze and Hongchen.
In fact, as early as after returning from Baihuang Mountain, Ye Zan released a large number of electronic flies in this ancient city.
These electronic flies are purely technological products and do not have the same mana fluctuations as magical weapons. On the contrary, they are easier to hide in this environment. The signals transmitted by the electronic flies are mixed with the signals transmitted thousands of miles away, and then pass through the base station in the ancient city and are transmitted to Ye Zan, making it difficult for anyone to detect them.
A large number of electronic flies put the entire ancient city under surveillance. Every corner of the ancient city and everyone in the ancient city are under surveillance, and no trace is missed.
Therefore, although the assassin who assassinated Liu Qian before was attacked by Qi Qianjun and escaped with the technique of substitution, he did not even reveal his true face. However, as long as Ye Zan sorted out and compared the information in the entire ancient city, it would not be difficult to find the suspicious person.
Even when talking to Yan Xinghe and others, Ye Zan had already locked in the identity of the assassin, so he said the words "take the long term and catch the big fish".
The assassin used his disguised identity as a clerk in a restaurant. After assassinating Liu Qian, he was attacked by Qi Qianjun and did not have time to check whether Liu Qian was alive or dead, so he escaped with the technique of substitution.
However, the assassin is obviously quite confident in his own methods. After all, even if Liu Qian is an alchemy master, he is only at the golden elixir realm, and a stab through the heart can be fatal.
Therefore, after returning to the restaurant, the assassin changed his clothes, hid in the woodshed, and actually took out Qianli Sound Transmission.
"Hey, it's done."
"Don't worry, once you pierce the heart, I've never made a mistake."
"What? He's not dead! Impossible!" The assassin still heard what happened after the assassination from the sound transmission from thousands of miles away, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
In fact, these thousands of miles of sound transmission had already been monitored by Ye Zan, and through the assassin's conversation, it was known that there were associates of the assassin in the square at that time. As for who the accomplice was, based on the Qianli Sound Transmission number used in the call and the transmission of the signal, he quickly identified another person.
To be honest, Ye Zan is really bullying. Without this thousand-mile sound transmission, I don't know how much energy it would take to catch the clues of these assassins. But now, he didn't need to put much thought into it. The assassins themselves sent all kinds of information and clues.
However, in order not to expose the problem of Qianli Transmission, Ye Zan had no way to publish these calls as evidence.
According to various clues, the person who was talking to this assassin was a Jindan master named Chang Qingchuan who was a casual cultivator in the ancient city. Ye Zan immediately retrieved the call records of the relevant numbers from the base station and found that Chang Qingchuan was probably a middleman who specialized in connecting employers and assassins.
Although no information about Jin Hongze was found in Chang Qingchuan's call records, there were several conversation records between Jin Hongze's disciple Jiang Ziliu. These conversation records span a month or two, and they are all about asking for results and urging action.
It's a pity that the call records cannot be released, otherwise these few conversations would be enough to make Jiang Ziliu die without a burial place.
On Ye Zan's side, just after checking the communication records, he received the set reminder that Jiang Ziliu had contacted Chang Qingchuan. Obviously, Jiang Ziliu had gotten the news and knew what happened in the square.
Assassins will not tell their employers in advance when and where they will strike, in order to avoid being set up. However, what happened in the square just now happened in public and naturally spread very quickly.
"Failed again, failed again, can you still do this business?" Jiang Ziliu's tone sounded a little angry. But it's no wonder, he spent a lot of money, but the thorn in his side is still alive and well, and no one would be able to accept it.
Chang Qingchuan said nothing at first. He waited until Jiang Ziliu finished complaining and then slowly said: "Brother Jiang, don't be so anxious. Since Hongchen has taken over this business, he will definitely complete it. Besides, these two failures were caused by problems with the information you provided."
"What, you blame us again?" When Jiang Ziliu heard this, he immediately broke out again, shouting angrily: "For the first time, the man named Ye was suddenly promoted to the Golden Core Realm. You said the information was wrong? That’s it, let’s increase the bounty, and we accepted it. Now, this time it failed again, and they actually said that our information was wrong, do you want to increase the amount again?”
"Brother Jiang, calm down. You should have heard that Liu Qian had already been stabbed through the heart. No one else would have been able to escape death. But the man surnamed Ye did not know what means he used to make Liu Qian The injury recovered instantly, which is something you have never mentioned before. If the person who took action had known this earlier, maybe he would have succeeded." Chang Qingchuan argued.
"I don't care about that. If you are willing to send experts to let the silver or even gold medal assassin take action, he can do whatever he can. In the end, it is still your mistake. If you can't solve this matter, don't blame us. Find someone else." Jiang Ziliu said bitterly.
"Brother Jiang is right, but the bounty you gave is the price of a bronze medal assassin. If you want a silver medal assassin, the price will not be what it is now." Chang Qingchuan said without any anger.
"Are you going to increase the price again?" Jiang Ziliu said, suppressing his anger.
"Oh, Brother Jiang misunderstood. I didn't say to increase the price. It's just that you get what you pay for. If you can wait, I believe that the bronze medal assassin will eventually complete the task one day. But if you can't wait, If you really want the Silver Medal Assassin to take action, the price will definitely be different," Chang Qingchuan explained.
"After all, don't you want to increase the price?" Jiang Ziliu said extremely dissatisfied.
"I'm just talking about a choice. As for which one you choose, that's your business. Speaking of which, the man named Ye is indeed quite weird, and I don't know what other hidden methods he has." Chang Qingchuan is still here. He said calmly.
Although Chang Qingchuan's words were just giving him a choice, he was obviously implying that the other party would add more money. Otherwise, the next time the Bronze Medal Assassin takes action again, if the man named Ye has any weird tricks, he will fail again.
If you don't pay more to hire a silver assassin, then you have to be more patient. If you don't succeed once, there will be two more times, and if you don't succeed twice, there will be three or four times. One day, the opponent's weird methods will be used up, and maybe this mission will be over. That's it.
When Jiang Ziliu heard this, he wanted to destroy the Qianli Sound Transmission, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to hold back his anger again and asked bitterly: "Then tell me, Silver Medal Assassin... No, what is the Gold Medal Assassin?" Price? If you want to use it this time, use the best. I don’t believe what else they can do.”
"Gold medal? Don't even think about gold medal assassins. You guys definitely can't afford them." Although Chang Qingchuan persuaded Jiang Ziliu to spend more money to hire better assassins so that he could get a higher commission, he would not fail to do so. Realistic nonsense.
Gold Medal Assassin, if the level classification corresponds to the level of cultivation, then it must at least be at the level of the powerful soul. The power of Yuanshen can't be used by ordinary spiritual stones or talisman money. Even if it is spiritual stones or talisman money, it is definitely an astonishing astronomical sum.
Jiang Ziliu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, what about the Silver Assassin? What's the price?"
"Just a hundred times." Chang Qingchuan said.
"What!" Jiang Ziliu was so shocked that he almost threw Qianli Chuanyin away. But think about it, the Silver Assassin is most likely the Nascent Soul Ancestor, and if you hire a Nascent Soul Ancestor to take action, the price is really... more reasonable.
"Brother Jiang, I want to hire a silver medal assassin. This is already the lowest price." Chang Qingchuan said again.
"Okay, wait for my news!" Of course Jiang Ziliu couldn't afford that much money, so he still had to report to his master Jin Hongze before making a decision, so he hung up the Qianli Transmission. (To be continued.)
