Although Ye Zan has never learned the art of wall penetration, this high wall cannot stop him. With the meticulousness of his insight and the powerful computing power of the auxiliary chip, he easily found the loopholes in the air restrictions on the courtyard wall.
Then, Ye Zan sacrificed the jade ball, hid in the jade ball space, drove the jade ball into the air, and saw the opportunity to fly into Jin Hongze's house from a restricted gap.
When they arrived in the courtyard, Ye Zan did not come out of the jade ball space. Instead, he used a magic trick to shrink the jade ball to the size of a speck of dust, and silently came to the room where Jin Hongze was. Of course, after all, the other party has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul Realm, so Ye Zan did not get too close to avoid arousing the other party's vigilance.
At this time, Jin Hongze was neither meditating nor refining elixirs. Instead, he was holding a book in his study and flipping through it absentmindedly. Every time he thought of that money, his heart throbbed. He wished he could turn back time, and wished he could slap Jiang Ziliu to death.
Where did the money go? Whether it was lost or swallowed up by Jiang Ziliu, Jin Hongze couldn't tell at all.
Seeing that the three-day deadline was approaching, Jin Hongze hoped that Jiang Ziliu could take out the money, and even imagined some stories about secular loyal ministers and monarchs. Perhaps out of loyalty, Jiang Ziliu couldn't bear him to waste such a large amount of money, so he made up a reason for losing it to let him calm down for a while before making a decision.
Of course, Jin Hongze knew intellectually that this kind of fantasy was really just a fantasy, but he still had a glimmer of hope. Maybe the fantasy would be true
On the other side, Jiang Ziliu kept pacing back and forth in his room. Compared to Jin Hongze, he was even more nervous. After all, these were the three days that decided his fate. When will the assassin take action? Will the attempt be successful? What will happen if everything goes well, and what will happen if things don’t go well! The possibilities he imagined in his head were no less than those of Jin Hongze.
Not to mention the two masters and apprentices who were caught up in various fantasies, and the assassin Chen Tianshui sneaked into the house, avoiding various forbidden traps with great skill along the way, and soon arrived outside Jin Hongze's study.
Obviously, Chen Tianshui's concealment skills were very good, otherwise if ordinary people had come close here, they would have been discovered by Jin Hongze in the room.
After arriving outside the study, Chen Tianshui did not rush in directly to kill. That was not how an assassin should behave. He chose a position and took out two props from his arms, one was a palm-sized woodcarving doll, and the other was a red projectile as big as an eyeball.
Chen Tianshui made a magic trick, and the wooden doll grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time it became like a real person. The person transformed by this doll is none other than a steward in Jin Hongze's residence, a practitioner in the Foundation Establishment realm in his sixties.
After the transformation of the puppet was completed, Chen Tianshui stuffed the red projectile into the puppet's mouth. Suddenly the doll became alive. If an ordinary person took a sharp look, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and a real person.
Chen Tianshui left the puppet in place and escaped to another location. His body seemed to melt and merged into the shadows in an instant.
Suddenly, the puppet started to move and ran towards Jin Hongze's study. As he ran, he shouted urgently: "Master, master, Jiang Ziliu committed suicide."
In fact, there are still some flaws in this doll's movements, sounds, and the words it shouts. However, what Jin Hongze is most concerned about now is where his huge sum of money has gone, and where he still has the energy to distinguish it. What's more, he never expected that Jiang Ziliu would hire an assassin to kill him, so he naturally lost his vigilance.
So when he heard the shouting outside, Jin Hongze immediately dropped the book in his hand, rushed to the study door in a few steps, opened the door and asked the puppet manager: "What's going on?"
"Sir, Jiang Ziliu committed suicide by hanging his neck. I only discovered it when I smelled the smell of blood when I was inspecting the front yard." The puppet manager lowered his head and replied.
"What!" Jin Hongze was suddenly shocked. He also expected Jiang Ziliu to get the money back or hand it over. Why did the other party commit suicide
Jin Hongze was so preoccupied with his own money that he didn't bother to look at the flaws in the puppet manager's affairs. So after hearing the news, he immediately went to Jiang Ziliu's residence in the front yard.
And when Jin Hongze passed by the assassin Chen Tianshui's hiding place, perhaps feeling that he was not sure enough, Chen Tianshui did not take action immediately, but quietly sneaked into Jin Hongze's shadow from the darkness.
Jin Hongze didn't realize it, took the puppet in charge, and went straight to Jiang Ziliu's residence. Arriving in the front yard, before reaching Jiang Ziliu's room, Jin Hongze smelled a hint of blood and couldn't help but walk a little faster.
Soon, he finally arrived at Jiang Ziliu's door. Jin Hongze pushed open the door and looked inside, but he met Jiang Ziliu's eyes.
He originally thought that Jiang Ziliu had really committed suicide, but when he saw that Jiang Ziliu was still alive and well, Jin Hongze was stunned. And at this moment, a black thorn with a hint of blue shot out from the shadow behind him. In the short distance, the black thorn seemed to have transcended the shackles of time and space. It instantly reached Jin Hongze's vest and stabbed in with a soft "chi" sound.
"Uh!" Jin Hongze realized at this moment that he had become the target of an assassin, and the person who hired the assassin was probably the disciple Jiang Ziliu in front of him.
In fact, if it was just a sword piercing the heart, it would not be considered a fatal injury to the ancestor of Nascent Soul. However, since Chen Tianshui knew that his target had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul realm, how could he not be prepared. The blue color on the black thorns is a poison that can eat away bones and turn into marrow. It can destroy Jin Hongze's body in a matter of seconds.
However, there is another strong point of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if Jin Hongze's physical body is destroyed, if the Nascent Soul escapes, he still has a chance to convert to the ghost realm.
Therefore, Jin Hongze was also very decisive. With a flash of light in his Dantian, Nascent Soul escaped from it. This Nascent Soul was like a miniature version of Jin Hongze. After flying out, it was about to rush towards Jiang Ziliu.
This was Jin Hongze's lifelong cultivation. Even without a physical body, it was far beyond what Jiang Ziliu could compete with. However, Chen Tianshui also took this into consideration. The puppet steward who had lured Jin Hongze here suddenly exploded, exploding into a mass of crimson blood-like mist.
This blood mist-like thing instantly filled the entire room, as well as the large area outside. It was so thick that it was almost difficult to see your fingers. What's more important is that this blood mist does no harm to the physical body, but is extremely corrosive to the Nascent Soul.
After being shrouded in blood mist, Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul suddenly seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and his movements became extremely slow. At the same time, Nascent Soul's body was corroded by the blood mist and became filled with smoke, as if it was about to ascend to immortality. However, that feeling was absolutely uncomfortable. Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul was screaming inside, but he wanted to run but couldn't move at all.
"Evil disciple, you haven't helped me out of trouble. Do you really think you can live without me?" Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul screamed to Jiang Ziliu in a high-pitched voice.
When Jiang Ziliu heard Jin Hongze's voice, his body couldn't help but tremble because of the fear in the past. However, he quickly realized that Jin Hongze was going to die, so what else did he need to be afraid of
"Old man, when you cut off my finger, did you ever think that you would be here today!" Jiang Ziliu yelled bitterly.
When Jiang Ziliu said this, he basically admitted who hired the assassin. The hatred in Jin Hongze's heart was: he never expected that the disciple he taught himself would actually want to kill him!
"You bully your master, destroy your ancestors, and rebel against human ethics. I am so blind that I accepted you as my disciple!" Jin Hongze yelled while struggling.
"Master, you were killed by the assassin invited by Liu Qian. I will definitely avenge you in the future. You have a good journey." Faced with Jin Hongze's curse, Jiang Ziliu became more and more relieved, with a slight smile on his face. Showing a bit of pride.
"You!" Jin Hongze's voice became weaker and weaker. The Nascent Soul had been completely eroded by the blood mist, and the surface looked pitted as if sulfuric acid had been poured on it.
However, at this moment, Ye Zan, who had been watching the show, took action. He didn't want to see Jin Hongze die like this. At least he had to take Jiang Ziliu with him!
As a result, Ye Zan drove the jade ball and fell directly into the blood mist, and a ray of light absorbed Jin Hongze into the jade ball space. However, he didn't let Jin Hongze stay longer. In a blink of an eye, he was outside the blood mist and threw Jin Hongze out again.
Jin Hongze was already waiting for death, but he didn't expect that for some unknown reason, Ichika before his eyes was already outside the blood mist. Seeing this scene, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly mobilized his magic power to drive away the blood mist on his body. At the same time, he kneaded the magic formula and sprayed a sea of fire into the room.
The blood mist was rushed by the sea of fire and disappeared in an instant. Then a black shadow jumped out from the ground and stabbed Jin Hongze in mid-air with a sword.
This dark shadow is naturally the assassin Chen Tianshui. Although Chen Tianshui was confused and didn't know how Jin Hongze escaped, the mission still had to be completed.
Jiang Ziliu was in a worse situation. No one cared about him at all. Ye Zan would not save him, and neither would the assassin. Facing the raging sea of fire, Jiang Ziliu could only rely on himself, and his body hit the wall on the other side of the room like a cannonball. As long as he breaks through the wall and there is a pond behind him, he may escape.
At this time, no one could care about Jin Hongze's body. Ye Zan flew over with the jade ball and received Jin Hongze's body into the jade ball space.
Of course Ye Zan is no longer interested in the corpse, but there is Jin Hongze's Qiankun Ring on the corpse, and the ring contains almost all of Jin Hongze's family wealth. And besides cleaning up Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu, his most important purpose in doing this was actually Jin Hongze's family fortune. (To be continued.)
